I have received and read a copy of my Incentive Plan with the accompanying Glossary of Terms and Conditions. I understand that participation in this Plan should in no way be construed as a contract or promise of employment and/or compensation. Employment is at-will, and therefore employment and compensation can terminate, with or without cause and with or without notice, at any time at the option of the Company or employee. I also understand that this Incentive Plan will be subject to review, and likely to change next year.
