ARTICLE XIV
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 14.1. No Employment Rights . Neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan, nor of any Participating Company in
adopting the Plan, nor any provisions of the Plan, nor any action taken by the Company, any Participating Company or the Committee shall be
construed as giving to any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Participating Company, or any right to
payment except to the extent of the benefits provided in the Plan to be paid from the Fund.
Section 14.2. Governing Law . Except to the extent superseded by ERISA, all questions pertaining to the validity, construction, and
operation of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflicts of
law doctrine.
Section 14.3. Severability of Provisions . If any provision of this Plan is determined to be void by any court of competent jurisdiction, the
Plan shall continue to operate and, for the purposes of the jurisdiction of that court only, shall be deemed not to include the provisions
determined to be void.
Section 14.4. No Interest in Fund . No person shall have any interest in, or right to, any part of the principal or income of the Fund, except
as and to the extent expressly provided in this Plan and in the Trust Agreement.
Section 14.5. Spendthrift Clause . No benefit payable at any time under this Plan and no interest or expectancy herein shall be anticipated,
assigned, or alienated by any Participant or beneficiary, or subject to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable
process, except for (1) a Federal tax levy made pursuant to section 6331 of the Code and (2) any benefit payable pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order. Any attempt to alienate or assign a benefit hereunder, whether currently or hereafter payable, shall be void. The Committee shall
review any domestic relations order to determine whether it is qualified within the meaning of section 414(p) of the Code. An order shall not be
qualified unless it complies with all applicable provisions of the Plan concerning mode of payment and manner of elections. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence and any restrictions on timing of distributions and withdrawals under the Plan, an order may provide for distribution at any
time permitted under section 414(p)(10) of the Code.
Section 14.6. Incapacity . If the Committee deems any Participant who is entitled to receive payments hereunder incapable of receiving or
disbursing the same by reason of age, illness, infirmity, or incapacity of any kind, the Committee may direct the Trustee to apply such payments
directly for the comfort, support, and maintenance of such Participant, or to pay the same to any responsible person caring for the Participant
who is determined by the Committee to be qualified to receive and disburse such payments for the Participant’s benefit; and the receipt of such
person shall be a complete acquittance for the payment of the benefit. Payments pursuant to this Section shall be complete discharge to the extent
thereof of any and all liability of the Participating Companies, the Committee, the Administrator, the Trustee, and the Fund.
