(or such other entity as may be designated by the Committee). Such Participant may be required to (A) complete an application for life
insurance, (B) furnish underwriting information (including but not limited to submitting to medical examinations by an insurance
company approved examiner), (C) authorize the release of the Participant's medical history to an insurance company underwriter, and
(D) provide such other information and take such other actions relating to such life insurance policy as may be required by the Plan
Administrator. A Participant as to whom a life insurance policy is obtained hereunder shall have no right to or interest in such policy or
the proceeds thereof.
3.7 Termination of Participation. The participation of a Participant in the Plan shall terminate on the earlier of (A) the date that all
amounts credited to the Participant's Account have been distributed pursuant to the Plan, (B) the date of termination of the Plan, or (C)

ARTICLE IV
HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT FUND ALLOCATIONS
4.1 Selection of Hypothetical Investment Funds . The Investment and Savings Plan Investment Committee shall select one or
more Hypothetical Investment Funds to which a Participant may elect pursuant to the Plan to allocate all or a portion of the amount then
and thereafter credited to the Participant's Account. To the extent provided herein, such Hypothetical Investment Funds shall be used to
measure the hypothetical investment experience of the portion of a Participant's Account that the Participant properly elects to have
allocated thereto. The Investment and Savings Plan Investment Committee may change the selection of Hypothetical Investment Funds
from time to time in its sole discretion. The selection of any such Hypothetical Investment Funds shall not require the Company to
invest or earmark any of its assets in any specific manner.
4.2 Investment Allocation Election. To the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator, a Participant may elect to have the amount
then and thereafter credited to his or her Account allocated among one or more of the Hypothetical Investment Funds. Such election
shall be made by filing a properly completed election form (or such other authorization as the Plan Administrator may require) with the
party and by the date designated by the Plan Administrator. With respect to Excess Contributions, a Participant shall be deemed to have
elected to have such amounts allocated to the same Hypothetical Investment Funds that the Participant elected for amounts distributable
following the date his or her employment with all Participating Companies terminates. If the Participant has no such allocation election in
place, then the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to have all Excess Contributions allocated to the Hypothetical Investment
Fund that the Plan Administrator determines generally to have the least risk of loss of principal. Any election or deemed election under
this Section shall result in the investment experience of an elected Hypothetical Investment Fund being used to measure the
hypothetical investment experience of the particular portion of the Participant's Account allocated to that Hypothetical Investment Fund
as provided herein.
4.3 Changes in Investment Allocation . To the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator, a Participant may change the investment
allocation previously elected by filing a properly completed
