3
3.3 Death After Termination of Employment But Before Payment of a Lifetime Benefit Commences. If the Executive is entitled to a Lifetime Benefit under this Agreement, but dies prior to the commencement of said benefit payments, the Company shall pay the same benefit payments to the Executive’s beneficiary that the Executive was entitled to prior to death except that the benefit payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the date of the Executive’s death.
Beneficiaries

Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all liability with respect to such benefit.
General Limitations
5.1 Suicide or Misstatement. The Company shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive commits suicide within three years after the date of this Agreement.

5.2 Competition After Termination of Employment. The Company shall not pay or continue to pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive, within two years of Termination of Employment and without the prior written consent of the Company, engages in, becomes interested in, directly or indirectly, as a sole proprietor, as a partner in a partnership, or as a substantial shareholder in a corporation, or becomes associated with, in the capacity of employee, director, officer, principal, agent, trustee or in any other capacity whatsoever, any enterprise conducted in the trading area (a 50 mile radius) of the business of the Company, which enterprise is, or may deemed to be, competitive with any business carried on by the Company as of the date of the Executive’s Termination of Employment or retirement.

1.10
|
“Termination of Employment” means the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for reasons other than death. Whether a Termination of Employment takes place is determined based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the termination of the Executive’s employment and whether the Company and the Executive intended for the Executive to provide significant services for the Company following such termination. A change in the Executive’s employment status will not be considered a Termination of Employment if:
|
|
(a)
|
the Executive continues to provide services as an employee of the Company at an annual rate that is twenty percent (20%) or more of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment (or, if employed less than three years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration for such services is twenty percent (20%) or more of the average annual remuneration earned during the final three full calendar years of employment (or, if less, such lesser period), or
