Note: Chair and committee member retainers are in addition to retainers for members of the Board of Directors.

No additional compensation for attending individual committee meetings. All cash retainers will be paid quarterly, in arrears, or upon the earlier resignation or removal of the non-employee directors, pro-rated based on the number of actual days served by the director during such calendar quarter. Chair and committee member retainers are in addition to retainers for members of the Board.

Additional Retainers for Committee Membership:

Optional Deferral Elections. A Non-Employee Director may submit a written election to the Secretary of the Company not to have the deferral provisions of Section 13.2(a) apply to the Non-Employee Director’s retainer fees or to have a deferral of a percentage other than fifty percent (50%) apply (an “Optional Deferral Election”) as follows:

Elective Deferral Credit. The Plan Administrator shall credit to the Account of each Participant the amount, if any, of the Retainer the Participant elected to defer pursuant to this Section 2. Such amount shall be credited as nearly as practicable as of the time or times when the Retainer would have been paid to the Participant but for the election to defer.

Cash Deferral Account. A cash deferral account (the "Cash Deferral Account") shall be established and maintained by the Company for each Participant that makes a cash deferral election under the Plan. Each Cash Deferral Account shall be credited as of the date the amount deferred otherwise would have become due and payable to the Participant and shall be credited to reflect the interest return thereon until paid. The establishment and maintenance of such Cash Deferral Accounts, however, shall not be construed as entitling any Participant to any specific assets of the Company and shall represent an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company with respect to the amounts due thereunder.

Cash Deferral Elections. Effective for payments on or after January 1, 1998, each Non-Employee Director may elect to defer all (100%) or fifty percent (50%) of the Director's Annual Retainer earned during the relevant calendar year into the Director's Cash Deferral Account. Amounts are deferred at the time they otherwise would have been paid were it not for the relevant deferral election.

Annual Deferral Amount. For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect, subject to withholding described in [Section 5.2(a)], to defer Salary and Bonus according to the following schedule:

Irrevocable Deferral Elections. Once a Plan Year has commenced, a Participant may not elect to change his or her deferral election that is in effect for that Plan Year, except if and to the extent permitted by the Committee and made in accordance with the provisions of [Section 3.2(c)] and Code section 409A specifically relating to a change and/or revocation of deferral elections related to a Participant’s Disability or an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency or a hardship distribution under the Qualified Plan.

Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral Amount is being withheld from a Participant, the Participant’s Employer shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Salary and Bonus, that are not being deferred, in a manner determined by the Employer, the Participant’s share of any Employer-provided welfare and fringe benefits elected by the Participant and/or FICA or other employment taxes on such Annual Deferral Amount, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the Annual Deferral Amount in order to satisfy the Participant’s election with respect to Employer-provided welfare and fringe benefits and the Employer’s obligation to withhold FICA and other employment taxes.
