Common use of Right to Payment Clause in Contracts

Right to Payment. The entitlement of an Executive or Beneficiary to benefits under the applicable Executive Compensation Plan shall be determined by the Company or such party as it shall designate under the Executive Compensation Plans (other than any Executive or Beneficiary), and any claim for benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set forth in the applicable Executive Compensation Plan. However, notwithstanding that general rule, after the Effective Time, the dispute resolution procedure and arbitration provisions of the Executive’s Severance Agreement shall be substituted for the claims procedure set forth in each of the Executive Compensation Plans, subject to the limitations of Section 3. Further, in the event of a dispute between an Executive and the Company after the Effective Time involving any of the Executive Compensation Plans, the determinations of the Company (or any plan administrator) shall not be entitled to deference, it being the intent of the parties that there shall be independent determinations of any disputed fact or issue through the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures.
