ELECTION PROCEDURE. An Eligible Director wishing to participate in this Plan must file a written notice on the Notice of Election form electing to defer payment for a Plan Year of all or a portion of his or her Fees as a Director (“Election”). Any such Election must be filed prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which the Director’s annual service period begins and shall be effective only with respect to Fees earned after the end of the Plan Year in which the Election is filed. If, however, the Election is with respect to the first year a Director is eligible to participate in this Plan, the Committee may permit a Director to make the Election within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Director is first eligible; provided, however, any such Election will only apply with respect to Fees earned after the effective date of the Election. Any such Election will continue in effect until the Director modifies or terminates such Election effective as of the beginning of a subsequent Plan Year. An effective Election may be terminated or modified for any subsequent Plan Year by filing either a new Notice of Election form to effect modifications, or a Notice of Termination form to effect terminations, on or before the December 31st immediately preceding the Plan Year for which such modification or termination is to become effective. An Election shall not be effective until receipt of the fully and properly completed Notice of Election form by the Secretary of the Company. A fully and properly completed Notice of Election form must indicate: # the percentage of Fees to be deferred; # manner of payment upon distribution; # payment commencement date; and # deemed investment election. Once effective for a Plan Year, an Election is irrevocable and may not be changed for that Plan Year. No subsequent election may change the manner of payment, the payment commencement date or the deemed investment of the Fees previously deferred. An Election shall apply to Fees payable with respect to each subsequent Plan Year, unless terminated or modified as described herein. A person for whom an effective Election is terminated may thereafter file a new Notice of Election form, in the manner described above, for future Plan Years for which he or she is eligible to participate in this Plan.

In order to participate in the Plan with respect to Director’s Fees for a particular Year, a Director must file a deferral election with the Secretary of the Company prior to January 1 of such Year; provided, however, that in the case of a newly elected or appointed Director an election to participate shall be effective for the Year in which the Director is first elected or appointed if it is filed no later than thirty (30) days following the date of the Director’s election or appointment to the Board. Any initial election filed by a newly elected or appointed Director shall apply only to Director’s Fees earned after the effective date of the election. A new Director who does not elect to make deferrals of Director’s Fees during the initial thirty (30)-day election period may not later elect to make deferrals of Director’s Fees for the calendar year of his or her initial eligibility. If a payment of Director’s Fees (such as annual retainer fees or fees for serving as Chairman of a Committee) are due for services performed over a period of time which includes the period both before and the period after the date of the election, the election will apply to an amount equal to the total amount of the Director’s Fee paid for such performance period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election over the total number of days in the performance period.

Whether the percentage deferral election shall be effective only with respect to Director’s Fees paid for the Year in which the Director’s participation in the Plan is to commence as determined pursuant to Section 4 above or shall apply with respect to Director’s Fees paid for that Year and all subsequent Years until revoked or modified by the Director, it being intended that a Director shall have only one (1) election in effect with respect to the Year during which payment is to commence and the form of the payment for all amounts deferred under the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding intention that a Director have only one (1) election in effect with respect to the time and form of payment, # any elections in effect as of January 1, 2008, shall remain in effect unless changed in accordance with the terms of Sections 5(f) or (g) of the Plan and # a Director whose existing election provides for benefits to commence in the next Year or who has already begun receiving payments, may elect a new time and form of payment for amounts to be deferred in subsequent Years. Changes to the Year of commencement and form of payment may be made only in accordance with the rules of Sections 5(f) or (g), below. The Director shall notify the Secretary of the Company in writing of any such revocation or modification of a deferral election or permitted new election with respect to the time or form of payment, which elections shall apply solely to amounts deferred with respect to Years following the Year in which the revocation, modification or new payment election is made; and

Section # Deferral Elections Generally. Each Director shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. In order to participate, a Director must submit a Deferral Election (using a form approved by the Company) to the Company’s Secretary prior to the first day of the calendar year in which the Director's Fees or Stock Award would otherwise be received. The Director’s Deferral Election shall be effective and irrevocable with respect to the Fees and/or Stock Award specified therein that would otherwise be received by such Director for the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Deferral Election is made. The Deferral Election may also be made effective (by so specifying in the Deferral Election) with respect to subsequent calendar years; provided, however, that the Deferral Election with respect to any calendar year may be changed or revoked by filing a new Deferral Election prior to the beginning of such year. With respect to the calendar year in which a Director first becomes eligible to participate, a Deferral Election may be made within 30 days after the date the Director first becomes eligible with respect to Fees payable or Stock Awards granted subsequent to the Deferral Election.
