An Eligible Director may, on the Selection Date, or, if he is elected to the Board for the first time, on a date that is no later than 15 days after the date of such first election to the Board, in lieu of the Payment Date specified in the immediately preceding sentence, irrevocably (except as hereinafter provided) select a Payment Date with respect to such Program Award that is the second (2nd), third (3rd), fourth (4th), or fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of grant (an “Alternative Initial Payment Date”). Any Eligible Director who has timely selected an Alternative Initial Payment Date may at any time thereafter but prior to the earlier to occur of # the Eligible Director’s ceasing to be a member of the Board for any reason or # the date that is twelve months prior to the Alternative Initial Payment Date, irrevocably select a deferred payment date (the “Deferred Payment Date”) that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Alternative Initial Payment Date. In the case of an Eligible Director who selects an Alternative Initial Payment Date and does not thereafter select a Deferred Payment Date, the Alternative Initial Payment Date shall be the “Payment Date” for purposes of Paragraph 4 above and Paragraph 6 below. In the case of an Eligible Director who selects an Alternative Initial Payment Date and thereafter timely and properly selects a Deferred Payment Date, the Deferred Payment Date shall be the “Payment Date” for purposes of Paragraph 4 above and Paragraph 6 below.
