Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, in its discretion, may maintain one or more trusts to hold assets to be used for payment of benefits under the Plan; provided that the assets of such trust shall be subject to the creditors of the Company in the event that the Company becomes insolvent or is subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. Any payments by such a trust of benefits provided hereunder shall be considered payment by the Company and shall discharge the Company of any further liability for the payments made by such trust.

Section 10.03Retention Rights. Establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to give a Director the right to be retained on the Board or to any benefits not specifically provided by the Plan.

Section 10.04Authorized Payments. If the Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that any person entitled to receive a payment hereunder is, at the time the benefit is payable, physically, mentally or legally incompetent to receive such payment and to give a valid receipt therefor, and that an individual or institution is then maintaining or has custody of such person and that no guardian, committee or other representative of the estate of such person has been duly appointed, the Committee may direct that such payment be paid to such individual or institution maintaining or having custody of such person, and the receipt of such individual or institution shall be valid and a complete discharge for the payment of such benefit.

Section 10.05Section 409A. Although the Company makes no guarantee with respect to the tax treatment of payments and benefits hereunder, the Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A and shall be limited, construed, administered, and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Accordingly, and notwithstanding Article IX, the Company reserves the right to amend the provisions of the Plan at any time in order to avoid the imposition of any tax or penalty under Section 409A on any payments to be made hereunder. In no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A, other than for withholding or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A.

Section 10.08Conflicts of Laws. The laws of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and performance of the terms of the Plan. The Plan is not intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Section 10.09Share Incentive Plan. Restricted Share Units credited to a Participant’s Account under the Plan shall be considered “Deferred Shares “granted under the Share Incentive Plan and shall be subject to the provisions of the Share Incentive Plan, which provisions are incorporated herein by reference, including without limitation, the provisions Section 4(b) of the Share Incentive Plan providing for the adjustment of Awards (as defined in the Share Incentive Plan) upon certain events.
