7.1          Designation and Change of Designation.  Each Participant may file
with the Company a written designation of one or more persons as the Beneficiary
who shall be entitled to receive the Award (if any) payable under the Plan upon
the Participant’s death.  A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change
a Beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing
a new designation with the Company.  The last such designation received by the
Company shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change
or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Company prior
to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of the date
prior to such receipt.

 

7.2          Absence of Valid Designation.  If no Beneficiary designation is in
effect at the time of a Participant’s death, if no designated Beneficiary
survives the Participant, or if a designation conflicts with law, then the
Participant’s estate shall be deemed to have been designated by the Participant
and shall receive the Award (if any) payable under the Plan upon the
Participant’s death.  If the Committee is in doubt as to the right of any person
to receive such amount, the Committee may retain such amount, without liability
for any interest thereon, until the rights thereto are determined, or the

such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability under the Plan.

which an Employer may make to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan.  Nothing contained in the
Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be
construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the
Employer and any Participant or any other person.  To the extent that any person
acquires a right to receive payments from an Employer under the Plan, such right
shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the
Employer.  All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general
funds of the Employer and no special or separate fund shall be established and
no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts.

 

9.3          No Liability for Committee Members.  No member of the Committee
shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument
executed by such member or on his her behalf in such member’s capacity as a
member of the Committee, nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith. 
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and
each other officer, employee, or director of the Company to whom any duty or
power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be
allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or
liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of
the Board) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan
unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith.

 

9.4          No Right to Continued Employment.  Participation in this Plan shall
impose no obligation on the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate to continue
the Service of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the
Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate may have to terminate the Service of
such Participant.  No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be
granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of
Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards (whether or not such
Participants are similarly situated).

 

9.5          No Alienation of Benefits.  Except insofar as may otherwise be
required by law, no amount payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject
in any manner to alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment,
bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge, or encumbrance of any kind nor in any
manner be subject to the debts or liabilities of any person, and any attempt to
so alienate or subject any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable,
shall be void and of no effect whatsoever.  If any person shall attempt to, or
shall, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, attach, charge, or otherwise
encumber any amount payable under the Plan, or any part thereof, or if by reason
of such person’s bankruptcy or other event happening at any such time such
amount would be made subject to such person’s debts or liabilities or would
otherwise not inure to the benefit of such person, then the Committee, if it so
elects, may direct that such amount be withheld and that such amount or any part
thereof be paid or applied to or for the benefit of such person, such person’s
spouse, child or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and proportion
as the Committee may deem proper.

 

9.6          Payments to Person Other Than Employee.  If the Committee shall
determine that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable
to care for such person’s affairs because of illness or accident, or if such
person is a minor, or has died, then any payment due such person or such
person’s estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed
legal representative), may, if the Committee so directs the Employer, be paid to
such person’s spouse, child or other dependent, relative, an institution
maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the
Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled
to payment.  Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of
the Committee and the Employer therefor.

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9.7          Severability.  In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be
held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

 

9.8          Unfunded Plan; Governing Law.  The Plan is intended to constitute
an unfunded bonus program, and all rights thereunder shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of Illinois, without regard to the
conflicts of law principles of such State.  The Bankruptcy Court shall retain
sole and exclusive jurisdiction over interpretation and enforcement of the Plan.

 

9.9          Headings.  Headings to articles and sections in this Agreement are
for the convenience of the parties only and are not intended to be part of or to
affect the meaning or interpretation hereof.

of the Plan, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the
plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.
