E. INCOMPETENCE OR INCAPACITY
In the event the Plan determines that the Covered Person is incompetent or incapable of executing a valid receipt and no guardian has been appointed, or in the event a Covered Person has not provided the Plan with an address at which he or she can be located for payment, the Plan may, during the lifetime of the Covered Person, pay any amount otherwise payable to the Covered Person, to the spouse, or relative by blood of the Covered Person, or to any other person or institution determined by the Plan to be equitably entitled thereto; or in the event of the death of the Covered Person before all amounts payable have been paid, the Plan may pay any such amount to one or more of the following surviving relatives of the Covered Person: Lawful spouse, child or children, mother, father, brothers or sisters, or to the Covered Person's estate, as the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, may designate. Any payment in accordance with the provision shall discharge the obligation of the Plan hereunder to the extent of such payment.
