 Those individuals in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary at the level of director and above shall be eligible to be selected to receive a distribution from one or
more of the bonus pools established over the term of the Plan. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall provide the Committee with recommendations each fiscal year as to the employees who should receive bonus awards under the Plan for that
fiscal year and the amount to be allocated to each designated employee. The Committee shall have authority to accept, modify or reject such recommendations. The Committee may also recommend a bonus distribution under the Plan to the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer. The Committee shall have the ultimate discretion and authority to recommend all participants and bonus amounts to the Board of Directors.

attachment, execution or other process of law. 
  
 6.04 Neither the action of the
Company in establishing the Plan, nor any action taken under the Plan by the Committee, nor any provision of the Plan shall be construed so as to grant any person the right to remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries for any period of
