In the case of a Participant’s Disability, the employment termination shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that the Administrator determines that the Participant is Disabled. Except as otherwise provided by this Section 7.4. if a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason prior to the date that Award Payments are paid, as of the date of such termination, Participant shall have no rights to an Award Payment for the Performance Period (or any future Performance Period under the Plan).

8. General Provisions.

8.1 Taxes. Taxes and other withholdings may be withheld from any amounts payable under this Plan to the extent that the Company determines that this is required by applicable law. Each Participant has sole responsibility for any other taxes, interest, and penalties imposed in connection with this Plan or any Awards or payments under this Plan, including, but not limited to, any taxes, interest, and penalties arising under Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall not have any obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes, interests, and penalties. The Company has not and will not provide any tax advice to any Participant. A Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax advisors to the extent the Participant deems advisable.

8.2 Code Section 409A. This Plan and the payments and benefits provided under this Plan are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined at the reasonable discretion of the Administrator. Any taxable benefits or payments provided under this Plan are intended to be separate payments that qualify for the “short term deferral” exception to Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent possible. Whenever any payment is to be made within a specified period of time under this Plan, the exact timing of payment within such period shall be determined at the discretion of the Administrator. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company does not make any representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Plan comply with Section 409A of the Code.

8.3 No Assignment. A Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, encumber, gift, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or convey any right under this Plan or any Award, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void. The Company may assign the Plan and the obligations to make payments under the Plan to a Person in the event that the Company (a) consolidates with or merges into such Person; (b) transfers its controlling interest in the Company to such Person; or (c) transfers all or substantially all of its assets and properties, or all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company, to such Person, in each case, whether in one or a series of transactions.

8.4 No Guarantee of Employment. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as creating or implying the creation of a contract of employment or service between any Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates, or giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates. In the absence of a formal written employment contract specifying otherwise, all Participants are “at-will” employees and may be terminated from their employment with or without cause, for any reason.

8.5 No Funding. This Plan shall at all times be entirely unfunded, and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates for payment of any benefits hereunder. No Participant or other person shall have any interest in any particular assets of the Company by reason of the right to receive a benefit under this Plan and any such Participant or other person shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any rights under this Plan. This Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

8.6 Not Salary. Payments hereunder shall not be deemed salary or other compensation or

remuneration to a Participant for the purpose of computing benefits to which a Participant may be entitled under any severance arrangement, retirement plan, employment agreement, or other similar compensation or remuneration plan, program, policy, agreement, or arrangement that the Company or any of its Affiliates may now or hereafter have or adopt or enter into.

8.7 Amendment and Termination of this Plan. The Administrator may, at any time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit any provision of this Plan expressly requiring an amendment to this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) other than an amendment related to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, no amendment, suspension, or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant to Awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension, or termination, without the written consent of such affected Participant, and (b) if not terminated prior thereto, the Plan shall automatically terminate on the date all amounts to be paid to Participants under the Plan have been paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

8.8 Entire Plan. This Plan supersedes any and all other agreements either oral or written, between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any other individual with respect to the subject matter hereof.

8.9 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Plan shall be governed by and construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. Except for an action by the Company seeking injunctive relief (which may be brought in any court immediately and without complying with any dispute resolution procedures), all disputes arising out of or related to the Plan shall be resolved exclusively by the state or federal courts with jurisdiction over Sisters, Oregon and each Participant irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit, or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court in connection with such action.

8.10 Severability. If any provision of this Plan shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction.
