Hardship In the event the Investor sells the Company's Common Stock pursuant to subsection (c) above and the Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.5 and 2.2 (c), and specifically fails to provide the Investor with the shares of Common Stock for the applicable Advance, the Company acknowledges that the Investor shall suffer financial hardship and therefore shall be liable for any and all losses, commissions, fees, or financial hardship caused to the Investor.
Financial Hardship (a) A Financial Hardship distribution may only be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant, and where the distribution is necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need. A Financial Hardship distribution will only be considered as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant if the distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need (including amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution);
(b) Financial Hardship shall be determined in accordance with Code Section 403(b), and the regulations thereunder, and the Employer’s or Custodian’s hardship policy and procedures, if applicable. The following are the only financial needs considered immediate and heavy:
(1) expenses incurred (or necessary to obtain) for medical care that would be deductible under Code Section 213(d), determined without regard to the limitations in Code Section 213(a) (relating to the applicable percentage of adjusted gross income and the recipients of the medical care) provided that, if the recipient of the medical care is not listed in Code Section 213(a), the recipient is a primary beneficiary under the Plan (as that term is defined in Treas. Reg. 1 401(k)-1(d)(3)(ii)(C);
(2) costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;
(3) payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, children or dependents, or the Participant’s primary beneficiary;
(4) payment necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from, or a foreclosure on the mortgage of, the Participant’s principal residence;
(5) payments for funeral or burial expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, child or dependent, or the Participant’s primary beneficiary;
(6) expenses to repair damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for a casualty loss deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds ten percent (10%) of adjusted gross income; and
(7) expenses and losses, including loss of income, incurred by the Participant on account of a disaster declared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), provided that the Participant’s principal residence or principal place of employment at the time of the disaster was located in an area designated by FEMA for individual assistance with respect to the disaster.
Unforeseeable Emergency In the event of a Participant’s Unforeseeable Emergency, such Participant may request an emergency withdrawal from his or her Account. Any such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator, which approval shall not be granted to the extent that such need may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). A Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her Account due to an Unforeseeable Emergency; provided, however, that the withdrawal shall not exceed the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the need created by the Unforeseeable Emergency.
Hardship Withdrawals Hardship withdrawals, as provided for in paragraph 6.9 of the Basic Plan Document #04, [X] are [ ] are not permitted.
Hardship Distribution Upon the Board of Director's determination (following petition by the Executive) that the Executive has suffered an unforeseeable financial emergency as described in Section 2.2.2, the Company shall distribute to the Executive all or a portion of the Deferral Account balance as determined by the Company, but in no event shall the distribution be greater than is necessary to relieve the financial hardship.

a) requisitioning of their property or part thereof by its forces or authorities;
b) destruction of their property or part thereof by its forces or authorities which was not caused in combat action or was not required by the necessity of the situation, shall be accorded a prompt restitution, and where applicable prompt, adequate and effective compensation for damage or loss sustained during the period of requisitioning or as a result of destruction of their property.

Elective Deferrals (a) The Committee may establish procedures pursuant to which Employee may elect to defer, until a time or times later than the vesting of a Performance Share Unit, receipt of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of a Performance Share Unit, all on such terms and conditions as the Committee (or its designee) shall determine in its sole discretion. If any such deferrals are permitted for Employee, then notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, an Employee who elects such deferral shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any such deferred shares of Common Stock unless and until the date the deferral expires and certificates representing such shares are required to be delivered to Employee. The foregoing notwithstanding, no deferrals of Dividend Equivalents related to any Performance Share Units under this Award will be permitted. Moreover, the Committee further retains the authority and discretion to modify and/or terminate existing deferral elections, procedures and distribution options.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if deferral of Performance Share Units is permitted, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to permit the deferral of compensation only as allowed in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and any provision that would conflict with such requirements shall not be valid or enforceable. Employee acknowledges, without limitation, and consents that application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to this Agreement may require additional delay of payments otherwise payable under this Agreement. Employee and the Company further hereby agree to execute such further instruments and take such further action as reasonably may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX In the event of a change in the amount of the Ceding Company's liability on a reinsured policy due to a misstatement of age or sex, the Reinsurer's liability will change proportionately. Reinsurance premiums will be adjusted from the inception of the policy, and any difference will be settled without interest.
NO DISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT 14.01 There shall be no discrimination, interference, restriction, coercion, harassment, intimidation or any disciplinary action exercised or practiced with respect to an employee by reason of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability, conviction for which a pardon has been granted, or union affiliation.
14.02 Grievances arising from Article 14.01 shall first be dealt with through an alternate dispute resolution process (ADR) as agreed to by the parties. Once alternate dispute resolution mechanisms are agreed to by the parties, the grievance will be held in abeyance pending the results of the ADR process. Furthermore, employees are precluded from other avenues of redress, save and except applicable legislative procedures, until the ADR process has concluded. The ADR process shall not result in any unreasonable delay.
14.03 Any level in the grievance procedure shall be waived if a person hearing the grievance is the subject of the complaint.
