The Company shall have the right to withhold from any Award, any federal, state or local income and/or payroll taxes required by law to be withheld and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to an Award. </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">- 7 -</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="s34764E87F60474FEB481606672BD29BF"></a></div><div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;padding-left:29px;text-indent:38px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">8.6</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Amendment or Termination of the Plan</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">. The Board or the Committee may, at any time, amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant to any payment of Awards that have been determined by the Committee to be due and owing to the Participant under the Plan but not yet paid prior to such amendment, modification, suspension or termination. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;padding-left:29px;text-indent:38px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">8.7</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Unfunded Status</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.

To the extent that a person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to ensure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;padding-left:29px;text-indent:38px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">8.8</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Governing Law</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.

It is intended that payments under the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of Section 409A and the Plan, and Awards under the Plan shall be interpreted, administered and construed accordingly. In the event, however, that any Award does not qualify for treatment as an exempt short-term deferral, it is intended that such amount will be paid in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A and the Plan, and Awards under the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and construed accordingly. If an Award is subject to Section 409A, (i) distributions shall only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under Section 409A, (ii) payments to be made upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a &#8220;separation from service&#8221; under Section 409A, (iii) each installment payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A and (iv) in no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year in which a distribution is to be made, except in accordance with Section 409A. Any Award granted under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A, and that is to be distributed to a key employee (as defined for this purpose below) upon separation from service shall be postponed for six months following the date of the Participant&#8217;s separation from service, if required by Section 409A.
