The retainer amount automatically exchanged for Phantom Shares shall be $15,000, unless otherwise determined by the Board from time to time but in all events prior to the first day of the Plan Year for which the annual retainer is awarded.

All Phantom Shares issued under and subject to the terms of this Plan will be issued under the Master Stock Plan (and/or its successor plans) and shall be deemed to be “other stock-based awards” for purposes of such plan; provided, that any Phantom Shares credited before November 22, 2019 are subject to the 2010 Master Stock Incentive Plan, and any Phantom Shares credited before November 19, 2010 are subject to the 2001 Master Stock Incentive Plan.

Grant of Phantom Shares. Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Committee shall, in its discretion as reflected by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement: # authorize the Granting of Phantom Shares to Eligible Persons and # determine or impose other conditions to the grant of Phantom Shares under the Plan as it may deem appropriate.

Each vested and outstanding Phantom Share shall be settled by the transfer to the Grantee of one Share; provided, however, that, the Committee at the time of grant (or, in the appropriate case, as determined by the Committee, thereafter) may provide that a Phantom Share may be settled # in cash at the applicable Phantom Share Value, # in cash or by transfer of Shares as elected by the Grantee in accordance with procedures established by the Committee or # in cash or by transfer of Shares as elected by the Company.
