The rights of the Executive, any Beneficiary of the Executive, or any
other person claiming through the Executive under this Agreement, shall be

Beneficiary of the Executive, or any other person claiming through the
Executive, shall only have the right to receive from the Company those payments
as specified under this Agreement. The Executive agrees that he, his
Beneficiary, or any other person claiming through him shall have no rights or
interests whatsoever in any asset of the Company, including any insurance
policies or contracts which the Company may possess or obtain to informally fund
this Agreement. Any asset used or acquired by the Company in connection with the
liabilities it has assumed under this Agreement, except as expressly provided,
shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of the Executive

the obligations of the Company. It shall be, and remain, a general, unpledged,
and unrestricted asset of the Asset of the Company.
SECTION V
RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING
-------------------------
The Company shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust
any fund or money with which to pay its obligations under this Agreement. The
Executive, his Beneficiaries or any successor in interest to him shall be and
remain simply a general creditor of the Company in the same manner as any other
creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation. The Company
reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to either fund the
obligations undertaken by this Agreement or to refrain from funding the same and
to determine the extent, nature, and method of such informal funding. Should the
Company elect to fund this Agreement, in whole or in part, through the purchase
of life insurance, disability policies or annuities, the Company reserves the
absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such funding at any time,
in whole or in part. At no time shall Executive be deemed to have any lien nor
right, title or interest in or to any specific funding investment or to any
assets of the Company. If the Company elects to invest in a life insurance,
disability or annuity policy upon the life of the Executive, then Executive
shall assist the Company by freely submitting to a physical examination and
supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance or
annuities.

of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Executive
or his Beneficiary, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of
bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise. In the event Executive or any Beneficiary
attempts assignment, communication, hypothecation, transfer or disposal of the

Named Fiduciary and Administrator of this Agreement. As

management, control and administration of the Agreement as
established herein. The Administrator may delegate to others
certain aspects of the management and operational
responsibilities of the Agreement, including the employment of
advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified
individuals.
8.2 CLAIMS PROCEDURE AND ARBITRATION. In the event that benefits
under this Agreement are not paid to the Executive (or to his
Beneficiary in the case of the Executive's death) and such
claimants feel they are entitled to receive such benefits,
then a written claim must be made to the Administrator named
above within thirty (30) days from the date payments are
refused. The Administrator and its Board of Directors shall
review the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole
or in part, they shall provide in writing within thirty (30)
days of receipt of such claim their specific reasons for such
denial, reference to the provisions of this Agreement upon
which the denial is based and any additional material or
information necessary to perfect the
8
claim. Such written notice shall further indicate the
additional steps to be taken by claimants if a further review
of the claim denial is desired.
If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the
Administrator in writing within thirty (30) days of the first
claim denial. Claimants may review the Agreement or any
documents relating thereto and submit any issues, in writing,
and comments they may feel appropriate. In its sole
discretion, the Administrator shall then review the second
claim and provide a written decision within thirty (30) days
of receipt of such claim. This decision shall likewise state
the specific reasons for the decision and shall include
reference to specific provisions of the Agreement upon which
the decision is based.
If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon
completed performance of the Agreement or the meaning and
effect of the terms and conditions thereof, then claimants may
submit the dispute to mediation, administered by the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") (or a mediator selected by the
parties) in accordance with the AAA's Commercial Mediation
Rules. If mediation is not successful in resolving the
dispute, it shall be settled by arbitration administered by
the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment
on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction thereof. If it is finally
determined that Executive (or his Beneficiary) is entitled to
the benefits set forth under this Plan, then all amounts that
Executive (or his Beneficiary) would have received up to the
time of such final determination shall be paid to Executive
(or his Beneficiary) with interest (calculated using the
Interest Factor) within thirty (30) days after such final
determination.
Where a dispute arises as to the Company 's discharge of
Executive for Cause, such dispute shall likewise be submitted
to arbitration as above described and the parties hereto agree
to be bound by the decision thereunder.
All reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by Executive
pursuant to any dispute or questions of interpretation
relating to this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed by the
Company, provided that the dispute or interpretation has been
settled by executive and the Company or resolved in
Executive's favor.

discharge or otherwise deal with the Executive without regard

9.2 DISCLOSURE. The Executive shall receive a copy of his
Agreement and the Administrator will make available, upon
request, a copy of any rules and regulations that govern this
Agreement.

the extent that such laws are not preempted by the Act and
valid regulations published thereunder.
9.4 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement or portion thereof, are held to be inoperative or
invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, then: (1)
insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to the intent
manifested in the provisions held invalid or inoperative, and
(2) the validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions will not be affected thereby.
9.5 INCAPACITY OF RECIPIENT. In the event Executive is declared
incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged

benefits under the Agreement to which such Executive is
entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person
legally charged with the care of his person or his Estate.
Except as provided above in this paragraph, when the Company

inserted for reference and convenience only and shall not be
deemed a part of this Agreement.
