automatically lapse.

and accepts and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan as if set out
verbatim in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms

and their respective successors, representatives, heirs, descendants, distributees and permitted
assigns. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
