(iv) Adjustments. In the event of any non-ordinary course circumstances, such as the acquisition or divestiture of all or part of the Company, or a change in accounting impacting any of the performance metrics of the Plan, or other reasons as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, the Committee (or its delegates) reserves the right to modify the Plan during the year, including with respect to Target Bonuses, Performance Goals and/or any annual bonuses for which all or a portion of the year has been completed.
(v) Benefits Nontransferable. No Participant will have the right to alienate, pledge or encumber his/her interest in the Plan, and such interest will not (to the extent permitted by law) be subject in any way to the claims of the Participant’s creditors or to attachment, execution or other process of law.
(vi) Employment At Will. The employment of each Participant is for an indefinite period and is terminable at any time by either party, with or without cause being shown, and with or without advance notice by either party.
