to be retained in the service of the Company or to interfere with or restrict the right of the
Company, which is hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or retire any Employee, except as

will not give any Employee any right or claim to any benefit hereunder except to the extent such
right has specifically become fixed under the terms of the Plan and there are funds available
therefor in the hands of the Company. The doctrine of substantial performance shall have no
application to Employees, Participants or any other persons entitled to payments under the Plan.

authorized officers.

encumber or assign any Benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever except to designate
a Beneficiary as provided herein.

clerical error resulting in payment of benefits in an incorrect amount, the Committee shall
promptly cause the amount of future payments to be corrected upon discovery of the facts and shall
cause the Company to pay the Participant or any other person entitled to payment under the Plan any
underpayment in cash in a lump sum or to recoup any overpayment from future payments to the
Participant or any other person entitled to payment under the Plan in such amounts as the Committee
shall direct or to proceed against the Participant or any other person entitled to payment under
the Plan for recovery of any such overpayment.




	 	 	 	Section 7.6 — Payment on Behalf of Minor, Etc.





In the event any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a minor or a person who, in the sole
judgment of the Committee is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to
give a valid receipt therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment be made to any person
found by the Committee in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such minor or other
person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and
discharge of the Company, the Board, the Committee and their officers, directors and employees.
