the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Plan
Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem

be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such

inadvertently result in an additional tax liability on the part of the Executive, shall have
no effect to the extent the change in the terms of the plan is rescinded by the earlier of a
date before the right is exercised (if the change grants a discretionary right) and the last
day of the calendar year during which such change occurred.
