The Employer in its sole discretion may terminate this Plan at any time and for any reason whatsoever. Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee shall take those actions necessary to administer the Eligible Employee’s benefit accrued under the Plan through the day before the effective date of such termination; provided, however, that termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect the value of the Eligible Employee’s benefit, as it existed as of the day before the effective date of such termination, or the timing or method of distribution of the Eligible Employee’s benefit, without the Eligible Employee’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Plan shall not give rise to accelerated or automatic vesting of the Eligible Employee’s benefit.
