      benefit.

    up
      to

      Unfunded Arrangement. The
      Executive and any designated beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of
      the
      Company for the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent

      are
      not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
      assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any
      insurance on the Executive's life is a general asset of the Company to which
      the
      Executive and beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.
