Such credit or charge card shall not be used to incur any personal (non-business-related) expenses; any personal expenses inadvertently charged to such card shall be reimbursed immediately by the Executive to the Company.

(g) Spousal/Partner Travel Expenses. Subject to the pre-approval of the Chairman or Board, the Company shall pay or reimburse to the Executive all travel and related expenses for the Executive’s spouse/partner to attend all business functions, events, meetings, and conferences at which the participation of spouses/partners is ordinary and customary.
