Neither the Executive nor the Spouse shall have any right, title or interest whatever in or to any investments that the Company may make to aid the Company in meeting its obligation hereunder. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Company and the Executive or the Spouse. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company hereunder, such rights are no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Participating Employer. |
| 6.2 | Rabbi Trust. The Company may, at its sole discretion, establish a grantor trust, commonly known as a rabbi trust, as a vehicle for accumulating the assets needed to pay the promised benefit, but the Company shall be under no obligation to establish any such trust or any other informal funding vehicle. |

The notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Board expects to render the determination on review.
