Future of the Plan

While this plan is intended to continue indefinitely, an unqualified commitment is impossible. Therefore, the Company reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate any part or the whole plan. Any such modification, suspension or termination will be made by written resolution of the Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. Board of Directors or its delegates.

Any amendment, however, may not deprive you of any benefits to which you are entitled prior to the effective date of the amendment. If the plan is modified, any claims incurred prior to the date of modification will be paid in accordance with the plan in effect at that time. Any expense incurred after the amendment date will be paid in accordance with the new plan provision.

If the plan is terminated, any eligible claims incurred before the date of termination will be paid to the extent assets held by the Company are available, if submitted to the claims administrator within a reasonable period of time, as established by the plan Administrator. Any claims incurred after the date of termination will not be considered for payment.

Being a member of this plan does not grant any current or future employment rights. Plan membership is not an inducement or condition of employment. Your right to any payment is determined solely under the plan's provisions.
