ARTICLE II.
ELIGIBILITY AND BENEFITS

2.1 PURPOSES

The purposes of the Plan are (a) to permit Participants whose benefit accruals under the Qualified Plan would be limited in the ordinary course by the Statutory Limits to defer the receipt of compensation under an arrangement that will credit hypothetical investment results to such deferrals at rates determined by the rate of investment returns based on the Participant’s selection from among investment funds available under the Qualified Plan (other than gains or losses attributable to the Hexcel Stock Fund); and (b) to provide a vehicle under which Participating Employers may supplement Deferrals made by Participants with matching or other forms of Company Contributions. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded and nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement providing deferred compensation to “a select group of management or other highly compensated employees of the Employers,” within the meaning of that phrase as used in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of the Act, and to defer until actual receipt the point at which each Participant’s Accrued Benefit is includable in gross income under the Code, and the Plan will be construed and operated only in conformity with the foregoing statement of intention.

2.2 ELIGIBILITY

Each Participant shall be eligible to accrue a benefit under the Plan for a Plan Year only if:

(a) his or her Compensation has exceeded the Pay Cap for any prior Plan Year or his or her Compensation, on an annualized basis, would exceed the Pay Cap in the current Plan Year (as of the date on which the Participant’s prospective eligibility for participation is determined, regardless of whether his or her Compensation actually exceeds the Pay Cap for the Plan Year);

(b) he or she is a participant in the Qualified Plan and has expressed an intention to defer under such plan on a “pre-tax” basis the maximum amount allowed by the Qualified Plan;

(c) he or she satisfies the position classification and/or salary grade classification established by the Company for its employees to be eligible under the Plan (or a position classification and/or salary grade classification which, in the sole discretion of the Committee, is determined to be the equivalent, with respect to his or her Employer, of the position classification and/or salary grade classification established by the Company for its employees to be eligible under the Plan); and

(d) he or she has filed an application to participate in the Plan for such Plan Year pursuant to Section 2.3.

2.3 APPLICATION TO PARTICIPATE

a. General. To be eligible to accrue a benefit under the Plan during any Plan Year (including an accrual based on Deferrals), an Eligible Employee who has been designated and approved as a Participant under Section 2.2(c) must file a written application with the Committee no later than the last business day before the beginning of such Plan Year, or such earlier time as

may be designated by the Committee in its discretion. Any electronic enrollment process will be considered to constitute a “written application” for purposes of this Section 2.3, if under applicable law the process is sufficient to result in a valid and binding waiver of any claim to payment of Compensation thereby deferred. The Committee shall make reasonable efforts to notify Eligible Employees of their prospective eligibility to participate in the Plan at least 60 days prior to the beginning of each Plan Year. The application shall become irrevocable at close of business on the last business day before the beginning of such Plan Year, or such earlier time as may be designated by the Committee in its discretion.

b. Initial Eligibility. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the filing of an application later than the date specified in Section 2.3(a) above, in the case of a person who will become a Participant for the first time during such Plan Year, provided, however, that no application to participate shall be accepted after the 30th day following the date on which such person first meets all the eligibility requirements to participate in the Plan (including, for this purpose, all other plans of the Employer and all Affiliated Employers which would be required to be aggregated with the Plan under Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(c)(2) (or any successor provision)) for such Plan Year (other than the filing of the application itself), and provided further that no such application shall result in the deferral of any Compensation for services performed prior to the date on which the application is submitted. The application shall become irrevocable at close of business on the day in which it is submitted.

c. Acceptance of Terms. The application for participation in the Plan shall signify (and shall be deemed to be) the Eligible Employee’s acceptance of the terms of the Plan.

d. Restoration Deferrals. Except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Deferrals to be made from Performance Compensation, the application for participation in the Plan shall signify (and shall be deemed to be) the Eligible Employee’s election to defer under this Plan the portion of his or her Compensation for services performed during the Plan Year, determined by multiplying the Participant’s Target Deferral Percentage for such Plan Year by the portion of such Compensation that is in excess of his or her Deferral Starting Amount for such Plan Year. The reduction in the Participant’s salary or other compensation authorized by the election made pursuant to this paragraph of Section 2.3 will be made as nearly as practicably possible on the same schedule as continued Pre-Tax Contributions would have been made if the Statutory Limits did not apply and the Participant’s Target Deferral Percentage were unchanged throughout the Plan Year.

e. Supplemental Deferrals. If so provided by the Committee, the Participating Employer, and the Participant, the application for participation in the Plan may include an election by the Eligible Employees to defer under this Plan an additional portion of his or her Compensation (including, in the Committee’s discretion, separate elections with respect to Performance Compensation, if applicable, and all other Compensation for such Plan Year) in excess of the amount to be deferred pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.

f. Performance Compensation Deferrals. Deferrals may be made from Performance Compensation. An election to defer the receipt of Performance Compensation, which may in the Committee’s discretion be made separately from any election to defer the receipt of Compensation other than Performance Compensation, shall be made on or before the date which is six months prior to the last day of the performance period over which the services for which the Performance Compensation is paid are provided (or such earlier date as may be provided by the Committee in its discretion) and shall become irrevocable as of such date; provided, however, that (i) the Participant has performed services continuously for the Employer or an Affiliated

Employer from the later of (a) the beginning of such performance period and (b) the date on which the performance criteria with respect to the Performance Compensation were established, through the date on which the election is made, and (ii) the portion of the Performance Compensation with respect to which the election is made is not both calculable and substantially certain to be paid at the time of the election.

g. Agreement to Salary Reduction. The application for participation in the Plan shall signify (and shall be deemed to be) the Eligible Employee’s agreement that the Deferrals he or she elects shall reduce the amount of salary and other compensation he or she will receive for the Plan Year in the manner and on the schedule prescribed under this Plan.

h. Cancellation of Deferrals for Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event a Participant applies for and receives an Unforeseeable Emergency distribution in accordance with Section 2.12 below, the Participant’s deferral elections for the remainder of the Plan Year shall be cancelled.

2.4 AMOUNT OF ACCRUAL BASED ON DEFERRAL

Each Participant shall accrue a benefit for a Plan Year in the form of a credit to his or her Deferral Account equal to the amount of his or her Compensation for the Plan Year deferred pursuant to the Participant’s elections under Section 2.3.

If the amount credited to the account of a Participant under the Qualified Plan for a Plan Year is reduced after the close of such Plan Year as a corrective action deemed necessary by the Administrator of the Qualified Plan to satisfy a Statutory Limit, no corresponding credit shall be made under this Plan.

2.5 NONQUALIFIED MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

Each Participant may be eligible to accrue a benefit under the Plan in the form of a Nonqualified Matching Contribution for a Plan Year only in accordance with this Section 2.5.

(a) The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall apply to a Participant for a Plan Year if and only if the Participating Employer has acted (or is deemed pursuant to Section 5.7 to have acted) in writing to cause this Section 2.5 to apply to Participants employed by the Participating Employer for such Plan Year. An action or deemed action of a Participating Employer to cause this Section 2.5 to apply for a Plan Year will be construed to cause this Section 2.5 to apply for each subsequent Plan Year unless the writing constituting the action otherwise provides, or until the Participating Employer has acted (or is deemed pursuant to Section 5.7 to have acted) in writing to cause this Section 2.5 not to apply for a Plan Year.

(b) The Company Account of a Participant to whom this Section 2.5 applies for a Plan Year shall be credited for that Plan Year, in accordance with procedures adopted or approved by the Committee, with amounts equal to 3% of his or her Compensation for services performed during the Plan Year that is in excess of his or her Deferral Starting Amount.

2.6 NONQUALIFIED PROFIT-SHARING CONTRIBUTIONS

Each Participant may be eligible to accrue a benefit under the Plan in the form of a Nonqualified Basic Profit-Sharing Contribution and a Nonqualified Special Additional Profit-Sharing

Contribution, and/or a Nonqualified Discretionary Profit-Sharing Contribution, for a Plan Year only in accordance with this Section 2.6.

(a) The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall apply to a Participant for a Plan Year if and only if the Participating Employer has acted (or is deemed pursuant to Section 5.7 to have acted) in writing to cause this Section 2.6 to apply to Participants employed by the Participating Employer for such Plan Year, and has specified in such writing whether this Section 2.6 applies with respect to (i) the Nonqualified Basic Profit-Sharing Contribution and the Nonqualified Special Additional Profit-Sharing Contribution; and/or (ii) to Nonqualified Discretionary Profit-Sharing Contribution. An action or deemed action of a Participating Employer to cause this Section 2.6 to apply for a Plan Year will be construed to cause this Section 2.6 to apply in the same manner for each subsequent Plan Year unless the writing constituting the action otherwise provides, or until the Participating Employer has acted (or is deemed pursuant to Section 5.7 to have acted) in writing to cause this Section 2.6 not to apply for a Plan Year.

(b) The Company Account of a Participant to whom this Section 2.6 applies for a Plan Year shall be credited for that Plan Year, to the extent provided by the action or deemed action of the Participating Employer and in accordance with procedures adopted or approved by the Committee, with an amount determined as follows:

(i) A Nonqualified Basic Profit-Sharing Contribution and a Nonqualified Special Additional Profit-Sharing Contribution in an amount equal to the Participant’s Excess Compensation multiplied by the sum of the percentages used under the Qualified Plan to determine the Participant’s Basic Profit-Sharing Contribution and (if applicable) his or her Special Additional Profit-Sharing Contribution;

(ii) A Nonqualified Discretionary Profit-Sharing Contribution in an amount equal to the Participant’s Excess Compensation multiplied by the percentage (if any) used under the Qualified Plan to determine the Participant’s Discretionary Profit-Sharing Contribution.

2.7 DEFERRALS FROM NORMAL PAYROLL

The Company shall establish and maintain procedures necessary and appropriate to cause amounts to be withheld from each Participant’s normal payroll payments in respect of Deferrals, and shall effect such withholding in a manner, and at such times, consistent with the purposes of the Plan.

2.8 VESTING

The right of a Participant under Section 2.9 to payment of his or her Accrued Benefit shall not be subject to forfeiture. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to prohibit any amendment or action of the Committee that prospectively affects or could affect the crediting of investment returns on Accounts.

2.9 FORMS AND TIMES OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS

(a) General. A Participant (or, in the case of a Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries) shall be entitled to payment of the Participant’s Accrued

Benefit under the Plan upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Participant’s Separation from Service, (ii) death or (iii) a Change in Control. Payment of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit will begin at a time determined under this Section 2.9, and will be made in such form as determined under this Section 2.9.

(b) Separation from Service. Unless the Participant has elected installments pursuant to subsection (e) below, and subject to subsection (l) below, in the case of a distribution because of Separation from Service, the Participant’s Accrued Benefit will be paid to him or her in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practicable (but, in any event, no later than 90 days after) the date of his or her Separation from Service. Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9(b) notwithstanding, the Accrued Benefit of a Participant will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiaries (in such shares as the Participant had specified in his or her election form) in a set of single lump sums to each Beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable (but in any event no later than 90 days) after the death of the Participant if the Participant dies after his or her Separation from Service and if, but for his or her death, the payment date of his or her Accrued Benefit would be determined pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.9(b).

(c) Death. Unless the Participant has elected installments pursuant to subsection (e) below, in the case of distribution because of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Accrued Benefit will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiaries (in such shares as the Participant had specified in his or her election form) in a set of single lump sums to each Beneficiary on or as soon as administratively practicable (but in any event no later than 90 days) after the death of the Participant.

(d) Change in Control. In the case of distribution because of a Change in Control, the Participant’s Accrued Benefit will be paid to him or her in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practicable (but, in any event, no later than 90 days) after the date of the Change in Control.

(e) Installments. If the Participant so elected in the application submitted to the Committee pursuant to Section 2.3 with respect to his or her Deferrals for a Plan Year, the Participant’s Accrued Benefit for such Plan Year will be paid to him or her, beginning (subject to subsection (l) below) on the first day of the first calendar quarter following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death, as the case may be (the “Installment Commencement Date”), in quarterly, semi-annual, or annual payments (as chosen by the Participant in such application) over the number of Installment Years selected by the Participant in such application (or, if the Participant elected installment payments but failed to specify a number of Installment Years, over ten years), in an amount for each such Installment Year equal to the Annual Installment Amount for that Installment Year determined under this Section 2.9(e) The Annual Installment Amount payable to a Participant for an Installment Year is equal to the portion of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit that is payable in installments as of the end of the last business day prior to the start of the Installment Year (determined after taking account of payments made in any earlier Installment Year) divided by the greater of one or the number of Installment Years with respect to which payments have not yet been made. If the Participant had elected to receive installments quarterly, one fourth of his or her Annual Installment Amount for an Installment Year will be paid on the beginning of each calendar quarter during the Installment Year. If the Participant had elected to receive installments semiannually, one half of his or her Annual Installment Amount for an Installment Year will be paid on the first day of the first month of the Installment Year, and one half of his

10

or her Annual Installment Amount for an Installment Year will be paid on the first day of the seventh month of the Installment Year. If the Participant had elected to receive installments annually (or if the Participant elected installment payments but failed to specify quarterly or semiannual installments), his or her Annual Installment Amount for an Installment Plan Year will be paid on the first day of the first month of the Installment Year.

(f) Death after Installments Commence. The unpaid portion of the Accrued Benefit of a Participant who dies after he or she has begun to receive an installment distribution of such Accrued Benefit on account of his or her Separation from Service shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiaries (in such shares as the Participant had specified in the most recent of his or her election form or subsequent beneficiary designation forms) in the same manner and at the same time or times as the unpaid Accrued Benefit would have been payable to the Participant had he or she survived to receive payment of his or her entire Accrued Benefit.

(g) Change in Control after Installments Commence. The unpaid portion of the Accrued Benefit of a Participant in the event that a Change in Control occurs after he or she has begin to receive an installment distribution of such Accrued Benefit on account of his or her Separation from Service shall be paid to the Participant in the form of a single lump sum on or as soon as administratively practicable (but in any event no later than 90 days) after the date of the Change in Control.

(h) No Loans. No loans shall be permitted from the Plan, and no in service distributions shall be permitted from the Plan except as specified in Section 2.12 (relating to a distribution in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency) or in the event of a Change in Control as provided in subsection (d) above.

(i) Multiple Distribution Elections Permitted. The Committee may provide in its discretion (1) that an election to receive installments in lieu of a lump sum (a “distribution election”) may be made on or before the date of a deferral election applicable to a Plan Year and that such distribution election shall be applicable with respect to benefits accrued as the result of any Deferral or Company Contribution made during such Plan Year; and/or (2) that a distribution election may be made on or before the date of a deferral election applicable to Performance Compensation to be paid in a Plan Year and that such distribution election shall be applicable with respect to benefits accrued as the result of any Deferral from such Performance Compensation made during such Plan Year; and/or (3) that different distribution elections may be made with respect to benefits accrued from Deferrals and Company Contributions for different Plan Years. In any of these events, additional sub-accounts will be established as necessary to permit such recordkeeping as may be required by the application of different distribution elections to different portions of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit. In the absence of any contrary provision by the Committee pursuant to this Section 2.9(i), the distribution election first made by a Participant shall govern the distribution of his or her entire Accrued Benefit under this Plan. In all events, a distribution election applicable to a benefit accrued as the result of a Deferral from Compensation (exclusive of Performance Compensation) shall be applicable to a benefit accrued in the same year as such Deferral on account of a Company Contribution.

(j) Subsequent Distribution Elections.

11

(i) Separation from Service. Provided the election is made at least twelve months before the Participant becomes eligible for a distribution under this Section 2.9, a Participant may elect at any time to receive a distribution on account of his or her Separation from Service in the form of installments in lieu of a lump sum, or in a lump sum in lieu of installments, or to change the number of installments previously elected; provided that, in the event such election is made, the distribution on account of his Separation from Service shall be delayed until the date which is five years after the date of the Separation from Service (or five years after the scheduled distribution date if, in the Committee’s discretion, more than one election pursuant to this subsection is made).

(ii) Death. Provided the election is made at least twelve months before the Participant becomes eligible for a distribution under this Section 2.9, a Participant may elect at any time for a distribution on account of his or her death to be made in the form of installments in lieu of a lump sum, or in a lump sum in lieu of installments, or to change the number of installments previously elected.

(iii) Change in Control. Provided the election is made at least twelve months before the Participant becomes eligible for a distribution under this Section 2.9, a Participant may elect at any time to receive a distribution that would otherwise be made on account of a Change in Control at the later of (i) his Separation from Service or (ii) the date which is five years after the date of the Change in Control. In the event such election is made, the distribution that would otherwise have been made on account of a Change in Control shall be made in the form that applies with respect to a distribution on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service. Any payments that would have been made pursuant to the preceding sentence on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service during the first five years following a Change in Control shall be held back and paid in a single lump sum on the date which is five years after the date of the Change in Control.

(iv) The Participant’s Beneficiaries shall be entitled to payment upon the Participant’s death in accordance with this Section 2.9 without regard to the five-year delay requirement stated in subsections (i) through (iii) above.

(k) Transition Distribution Elections. A Participant may make any of the elections described in subsection (j) above on or after January 1, 2008 and on or before December 31, 2008 without regard to the requirements that the election be made at least twelve months before the Participant becomes eligible for a distribution or that the distribution be delayed for five years, provided such election does not cause any amount to be paid before 2009 that would not otherwise have been paid before 2009 or delay any amount that would otherwise have been paid during 2008 beyond 2008.

(l) Six-Month Delay for Certain Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the date of his Separation from Service, then any amount payable under this Plan on account of his Separation from Service that would otherwise have been paid to the Participant during the first six months following the date of his Separation from Service shall be paid instead in a single lump sum on the earlier of (a) the date which is six months following the date of his Separation from Service and (b) the date of his death, and not before.

2.10 PLAN TERMINATION

No additional benefits will accrue under the Plan in the event of the termination of the Qualified Plan or the Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, authorize payment of Accrued Benefits upon termination of the Plan to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-(j)(4)(ix) (or any successor provision).

2.11 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

A Participant may select one or more Beneficiaries by filing with the Committee a written designation of such Beneficiaries on such forms as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no Beneficiary survives the Participant, the Qualified Plan Beneficiary shall be the Beneficiary, or if no Qualified Plan Beneficiary survives, the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a married Participant’s initial designation and/or any subsequent change in Beneficiary designation to someone other than or in addition to his or her Eligible Spouse shall not be effective unless the Eligible Spouse consents in writing to such designation. The Committee shall have the authority to establish from time to time additional rules and procedures with respect to the designation of Beneficiaries hereunder.

2.12 UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY PAYMENTS

Upon application to the Committee, providing such information and provided in such form and manner as the Committee shall require, a Participant may receive a distribution of such portion of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit in the event of an “Unforeseeable Emergency” (as such term is defined below) as is provided in this Section 2.12, at such time or times as the Committee may determine in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion. The term “Unforeseeable Emergency” means a severe financial hardship of the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) or (d)(1)(B) thereof), or the Participant’s Beneficiary; loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster); or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. By way of illustration and not by way of limitation, an “Unforeseeable Emergency” may include, among other things, the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence; the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the costs of prescription drug medication; and the need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse, beneficiary or dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof). Whether a Participant is faced with an Unforeseeable Emergency is to be determined by the Committee based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case, but, in any case, a distribution on account of Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under this Plan.

ARTICLE III.

ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT BALANCES

3.1 CREDITS RELATED TO DEFERRAL AND COMPANY CONTRIBUTION ACCOUNTS

A credit equal to the dollar amount of a Deferral shall be made to the Account of the Participant making the Deferral as soon as administratively practicable after the date of the reduction of the Participant’s salary to which such Deferral corresponds.

A credit equal to the dollar amount of a Nonqualified Matching Contribution shall be made to the Account of the Participant with respect to whom the Nonqualified Matching Contribution is made, as of the date a corresponding Matching Contribution would have been allocated to the Company Matching Account of the Participant had the Nonqualified Matching Contribution been a Matching Contribution of a like kind (i.e.,, Matching Fixed Contribution, Matching Discretionary Contribution, or Rule of 45 Matching Contribution) under the Qualified Plan.

A credit equal to the dollar amount of a Nonqualified Profit-Sharing Contribution shall be made to the Account of the Participant with respect to whom the Nonqualified Profit-Sharing Contribution is made, as of the date a corresponding Profit-Sharing Contribution would have been allocated to the Profit-Sharing Account of the Participant had the Nonqualified Profit-Sharing Contribution been a Profit-Sharing Contribution of a like kind (i.e.,, Employer Basic Contribution, the Discretionary Profit-Sharing Contribution, or the Special Additional Employer Contribution) under the Qualified Plan.

3.2 DEBITS RELATED TO PAYMENTS

The Accounts of a Participant shall be debited in the amount of each payment made pursuant to Section 2.9 to such Participant or to any Beneficiary of such Participant, as of the close of business on the day as of which such payment is made.

3.3 ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST AND ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNTS REFLECTING INVESTMENT RETURNS

The Company shall establish a trust and make contributions to such trust, in such amounts and at such times as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate in order to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under the Plan. Such trust will be intended to constitute a grantor trust, of which the Company is the grantor, within the meaning of Section 671 of the Code. The income tax imposed on the Company with respect to any income earned by the trust shall be paid by the Company and shall not be a charge against the Participants’ Accounts. The trustee of such trust shall make payments to Participants and their beneficiaries in such manner and at such time as specified in the Plan and the agreement governing such trust. The trust assets shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency or bankruptcy, pursuant to the terms of such trust agreement. The Company intends that such trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company.

The Committee shall administer the Participants’ Accounts and any of the Company’s funds invested in the trust in connection therewith. Payment of benefits from the trust shall, to that extent, discharge the Company’s obligations under the Plan.

Each Participant shall elect that amounts credited to his or her Accounts be adjusted for gains or losses (realized or unrealized) and for dividend and other income, as such gains, losses, dividends, and income are reported to the trustee, as if invested in one or more investment funds which shall be designated for such purpose from time to time, in accordance with such rules and procedures as may be prescribed by the Committee or the trustee. Anything to the contrary in this Plan notwithstanding, the Company shall be under no obligation to direct the trustee of the trust to follow investment elections of any Participant.

Notwithstanding the existence of any such trust or other vehicle, it is expressly understood that neither the Participant nor his or her Beneficiaries shall have any present or future interest in the assets of the trust, which, together with the dividend and interest income thereon and any capital gains realized with respect thereto, shall constitute assets of the Company. It is further understood that the Plan does not create any fund or trust for the benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries, that the Company’s obligation hereunder is limited to the contractual obligation to make payments to the Participant or to his or her Beneficiaries as provided herein, and that with respect to such payments the rights of the Participant or his or her Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of an unsecured creditor of the Company.

ARTICLE IV.

(iii) may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant.

4.5 DECISION ON REVIEW
