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.

Deferral Election. Each Director may elect, with respect to any Year, that all or any percentage of his or her Eligible Compensation be deferred in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to any conditions deemed appropriate from time to time by the Committee (including suspension of the right to elect deferrals or to make changes to any existing deferral election), the Awardee may elect to defer the delivery of the Stock to be delivered in settlement of the Units using such deferral election form as approved by the Committee from time to time.

Deferral Period. If the Participant elects on the Deferral Election to have the shares underlying the Restricted Stock Unit award and/or Performance Stock Unit award deferred for a specified period, the shares shall be distributed, or commence to be distributed, within 30 days of the end of specified period as elected by the Participant. For example, if a Participant elects to have the shares underlying the 2013 grant of Restricted Stock Units which vest on December 31, 2015 deferred for 3 years, the shares shall be distributed within 30 days following December 31, 2018. If the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment prior to the end of the elected deferral period, the shares underlying the Restricted Stock Unit award and/or Performance Stock Unit award shall be distributed, or commence to be distributed, within 30 days following the end of the elected deferral period (the Termination of Employment is not a distribution event under this Section 4.1).

Eligible employees who are members of a select group of management or highly compensated employees may elect to defer all or a portion of an incentive compensation award until the earlier to occur of the eligible employee’s # Disability or # Separation from Service. Anyone who has made a deferral shall remain a “participant” until such individual has received payment of all of his or her accounts under this Plan. A deferral must be expressed either as “all” or a specified percentage effective for 2024 and future calendar years. The granting of an incentive compensation award is discretionary and neither delivery of deferral election materials nor an election to defer shall affect entitlement to such an award. All deferral elections made under the Plan are irrevocable. It is intended that this arrangement qualify as, and shall be administered to qualify as being unfunded and being primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

Deferral Accounts.

[Section 409A] Award deferrals shall be credited to the Deferral Account as of the date that the underlying Award would otherwise have been paid if such payment had not been deferred. Awards that were otherwise payable in cash will be credited to the Deferral Account as an equivalent amount of cash and Awards that were otherwise payable in shares of Stock will be credited to the Deferral Account as an equivalent number of shares of stock.

Mandatory Deferral. Fifty percent (50%) of each payment comprising any annual retainer fees payable by the Company to each Non-Employee Director shall automatically be withheld by the Company and deferred hereunder, except to the extent that the Non-Employee Director has made an Optional Deferral Election in accordance with Section 13.2(b).
