Annual Elections of Deferral. An election to defer Fees shall be made prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the Fees will be earned; provided, however, that an election made within 30 days after a person first becomes a Director shall be effective for Fees earned during that year. An election shall continue in effect until the end of the year following the date of the deferral election, or until the end of the Director’s service on the Board, whichever shall occur first. The election to defer receipt of payment may not be canceled or modified unless the Chairman, in his sole discretion, determines that an Unforeseen Emergency exists, or except as otherwise permitted by Internal Revenue Service regulations.

Deferral Elections. At any time within the 30-day period (or other shorter or longer period that the Committee selects in its sole discretion) in which a Participant who is a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees (within the meaning of the Code) receives an Award of Restricted Share Units (or before the calendar year in which such a Participant receives a subsequent Award, subject to adjustments by the Committee in accordance with Code Section 409A), the Committee may permit the Participant to irrevocably elect, on a form provided by and acceptable to the Committee, to defer the receipt of all or a percentage of the Shares that would otherwise be transferred to the Participant upon the vesting of such Award more than 12 months after the date of the Participant’s deferral election. If the Participant makes this election, the Shares subject to the election, and any associated dividends and interest, shall be credited to an account established pursuant to [Section 9] on the date such Shares would otherwise have been released or issued to the Participant pursuant to [Section 8(d)] and no vesting shall occur (other than for death or Disability if provided pursuant to the Award Agreement) within the 12-month period following the date of the Participant’s election.

For Directors who make an Annual Deferred Cash Election, the Company will establish a bookkeeping account for cash deferred for that Plan Year (an “Annual Deferred Cash Account”) and will credit to the Annual Deferred Cash Account the amount of the Eligible Fees earned and deferred by him/her as of the date such fees would normally be payable by the Company (the “Credit Date”). Amounts credited to an Eligible Director’s Annual Deferred Cash Account will be adjusted for gains and/or losses to the same extent that equal amounts would have been adjusted if they had been invested in one or more notional investments designated by the Company. The use of notional investments herein is solely as a device for computing the amount of benefits to be paid under the Plan, and the Company shall not be required to purchase such investments.
