Miscellaneous

6.1 Funding. Benefits payable under the Plan to any Participant shall be paid directly by the Participant’s Employer (including the Company if the Participant is employed by the Company). The Company and the Employers shall not be required to fund, or otherwise segregate assets to be used for payment of benefits under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Employers, in the discretion of the Committee, may maintain one or more Trusts. The assets of any such Trusts with respect to benefits payable to the employees of each Employer shall remain the assets of such Employer subject to the claims of its general creditors. Any payments by a Trust of benefits provided to a Participant under the Plan shall be considered payment by the Company or the Employer and shall discharge the Company or the Employer of any further liability under the Plan for such payments.

6.2 Account Statements. As soon as practical after the end of each calendar year (or after such additional date or dates as the Committee, in its discretion, may designate), each Participant shall be provided with a statement of the balance of his Deferral Account hereunder as of the last day of such calendar year (or as of such other dates as the Committee, in its discretion, may designate).

6.3 Employment Rights. Establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to give any Eligible Employee the right to be retained in the Company’s service or to any benefits not specifically provided by the Plan.


6.4 Interests Not Transferable. No benefit payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, or other legal process, or encumbrance of any kind, except (a) as provided for under the sections of a Company plan or agreement that state the Company’s authority to demand repayment of amounts owed to the Company pursuant to those sections, (b) as required for purposes of withholding of any tax under the laws of the United States or any state or locality, or (c) pursuant to a court-approved property settlement agreement issued incident to the Participant’s divorce. Any attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any such benefits, whether currently or thereafter payable, shall be void. No person shall, in any manner, be liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of any person entitled to such benefits. If any person shall attempt to, or shall alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber his benefits under the Plan, or if by any reason of his bankruptcy or other event happening at any time, such benefits would devolve upon any other person or would not be enjoyed by the person entitled thereto under the Plan, then the Committee, in its discretion, may terminate the interest in any such benefits of the person entitled thereto under the Plan and hold or apply them for or to the benefit of such person entitled thereto under the Plan or his spouse, children or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner as the Committee may deem proper.

6.5 Forfeitures and Unclaimed Amounts. Unclaimed amounts shall consist of the amounts of the Deferral Account of a Participant that are not distributed because of the Committee’s inability, after a reasonable search, to locate a Participant or his Beneficiary, as applicable, within a period of two (2) years after the Distribution Date upon which the payment of any benefits becomes due. Unclaimed amounts shall be forfeited at the end of such two-year period. These forfeitures will reduce the obligations of the Company under the Plan and the Participant or Beneficiary, as applicable, shall have no further right to his Deferral Account.

6.6 Controlling Law. The law of North Carolina, without regard to any state’s choice of law principles, shall be controlling in all matters relating to the Plan to the extent not preempted by ERISA.

6.7 Gender and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine, and the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.


6.8 Action by the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any action required of or permitted by the Company under the Plan shall be by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or by action of any member of the Committee or person(s) authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company.
