The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the account of the Executive and the Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution amount.

I, Daniel J. Wollschlager, designate the following as Beneficiary under the Agreement:

    100 %
 
                         %
Contingent:
       
Jeffrey A. Wollschlager

Mark D. Wollschlager
    50 %
Notes:
    Please PRINT CLEARLY or TYPE the names of the beneficiaries.
 
    To name a trust as Beneficiary, please provide the name of the trustee(s) and the exact name and date of the trust agreement.
 
    To name your estate as Beneficiary, please write “Estate of _[your name]_”.
 
    Be aware that none of the contingent beneficiaries will receive anything unless ALL of the primary beneficiaries predecease you.
I understand that I may change these beneficiary designations by delivering a new written designation to the Plan Administrator, which shall be effective only upon receipt and acknowledgment by the Plan Administrator prior to my death. I further understand that the designations will be automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases me, or, if I have named my spouse as Beneficiary and our marriage is subsequently dissolved.
