forth herein.

claims of the general creditors of the Company as provided in the Trust Agreement.

|10. | The Company intends that the existence of the Trust shall not alter the characterization
of the Plan as unfunded for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), and shall not be construed to provide income to Plan Participants under the Plan prior to actual payment of the
vested accrued benefits hereunder.
