 Section 8: Beneficiary Designation 

8.1 The beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant or deemed to have been designated by the Participant under the Savings
Program shall be deemed to be the Participant’s Beneficiary. If a Participant does not participate in the Savings Program or if a Participant does participate in the Savings Program and has not designated or been deemed to have designated a
beneficiary thereunder, and such Participant dies without designating a 

  
 4 

 
Beneficiary, then the Variable Compensation Payment shall be distributed to the Participant’s estate. If a Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, then the Participant’s Variable
Compensation Payment shall be distributed to the Participant’s estate. If the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant survives the Participant, and dies before such Participant’s Variable Compensation Payment is distributed, then such
Variable Compensation Payment shall be distributed to the Beneficiary’s estate. 
 Section 9: General Provisions

 9.1 A Participant may not assign a Variable Compensation Payment. Any attempted assignment shall be null and void. For

 Section 11: Effective Date and Duration of Plan 
 The Plan shall
be effective beginning as of January 1, 2002 and shall continue in effect until terminated in accordance with Section 10.1.

of the Company, the Unpaid Interest shall be paid to the Bregal Fund I Investors and Bregal Fund II Investors (and/or to such other persons as they may direct as being entitled thereto).
