A Director who elects to participate in the deferral of Director’s Fees under the Plan shall file a deferral election on a form, which shall indicate:

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 Elections. A Monthly Deferral Participant in the Plan may file an Election Form with the Plan Administrator on or before the date specified in accordance with [Section 4(c)] hereof. The Election Form shall permit the Monthly Deferral Participant to specify the Deferral Amount, subject to a minimum annual Deferral Amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000), for the deferral of Monthly Compensation, or such amounts as may be specified by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, and whether such Deferral Amount shall be credited in cash to his or her Deferred Compensation Account or in Shares to his or her Deferred Stock Account, pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof. The Election Form shall also set forth the terms of distribution of the Participant’s Account in accordance with Section 6 hereof and the Participant’s Beneficiary designation. All elections to defer compensation under the Plan are irrevocable, and no changes to any Election Form delivered to the Plan Administrator shall be permitted, except as specifically provided under the terms of the Plan.

Deferral Elections. On or before December 31 of any calendar year, an Officer may elect to defer receipt of Base Salary otherwise payable to the Officer for services rendered in a subsequent calendar year. On or before the 30th day after the date such Long-Term Incentive Award is granted and subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, an Officer may elect to defer the amount payable in respect of any Parent-Based Award or Time-Vesting Award but solely to the extent that such Award would not vest earlier than 12 months following such election. To the extent that any Time-Vesting Award or Parent-Based Award vests within 12 months of any deferral election, such election shall be void. On or before June 30 of any calendar year and subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, an Officer who has been continuously employed by the Participating Companies from the later of # January 1 of the calendar year in which the Officer’s services in respect of such award commence and # the date on which the performance criteria with respect to the subject Cash Bonus or Performance-Vesting Award were established may elect to defer receipt of Cash Bonuses and Performance-Vesting Awards otherwise payable to the Officer with respect to a performance period ending on December 31 of the year in which the deferral election is made. Furthermore, when an Officer who is not (and has not during the immediately preceding 24 months been) eligible to participate in any other plan, program or arrangement of the Company which must be aggregated with the Plan for purposes of Code Section 409A first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the Officer may elect, within the 30 day period immediately following such eligibility date, to defer receipt of Base Salary otherwise payable to the Officer in the calendar year in which such eligibility date occurs with respect to services performed after the date of the Deferral Election. A Deferral Election shall be made by written or electronic notice on a form or in a manner prescribed by or acceptable to the Company and shall be effective only when properly filed with the Company. The Company may from time to time establish minimum and maximum amounts (which may be stated as percentages of Compensation) that an Officer may defer. Any Deferral Election shall be subject to such conditions as the Company shall determine.

Deferral Credit. A “Deferral Credit” is the amount credited to a Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 3.1.

Deferral Elections. An Employee who satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 2 may, at the time and in the manner provided hereunder, elect to defer the receipt of his or her Eligible Compensation.

Deferral Credits. Deferral Credits (and related Earnings Credits) of each Participant shall be fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable at all times, except as otherwise provided.

The schedule of annual retainers (the “Annual Retainers”) for the Non-Employee Directors is as follows:

A Non-Employee Director may elect, on or before December 31 of any year, to defer at least 25% of the cash compensation to be paid to the Non-Employee Director for services as a Company director during the following calendar year and/or elect to receive a credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a). Before the term of a new Non-Employee Director begins, he may elect within thirty (30) days of first becoming eligible to participate in the Plan to defer payment of the cash compensation earned for the remainder of the calendar year in which his term begins and/or elect to receive a credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(d). Any credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a) or 4(d) shall be for the same number of shares of Common Stock and have the same restrictions and vesting provisions otherwise applicable to the grant of Restricted Stock. Such credit to the Stock Unit Account shall be evidenced by a written Deferred Restricted Stock Unit Grant Agreement that shall be executed by the Non-Employee Director and an authorized Company representative which shall indicate the date of the Deferred Restricted Stock Unit award, the number of units awarded, and contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine with respect to such Deferred Restricted Stock Unit grant consistent with the Plan.
