Deferral of RSUs. You may elect to defer the settlement of Your RSUs for a period of five years from the date such RSUs would otherwise be settled; provided, that Your deferral election is made and has been in effect for at least 12 months before the date on which such RSUs would otherwise be settled. Any such deferral will be made pursuant to the terms of a separate deferred compensation plan adopted by the Company for this purpose. Settlement of the deferred RSUs will be made in accordance with the terms of such deferred compensation plan.

Period of Deferral. All deferrals shall be until the Outside Director experiences a Separation from Service. For purposes of this Plan, “Separation from Service” shall mean termination of service with A&B as described in section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Once specified, the date(s) for payment of deferred fees may not be changed.

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.

Deferral of Fees. Each Director may elect on an Election Form that all or a portion of any Fees earned for services performed as a member of the Board subsequent to the date of his deferral election shall not be paid in accordance with the normal quarterly payment schedule, but shall instead be distributed to him (or in the event of his death, to his Beneficiary) in accordance with the provisions of Article V (Payments). Elections shall be made in one percent (1%) increments, or such other increments as may be specified by the Company, and shall include a separate election with respect to the time and form of payment applicable to Deferral Periods ending pursuant to an election made in accordance with this [Section 3.1(a)], which may not exceed eight (8) years, and Deferral Periods ending pursuant to [Section 5.2] (Termination of Service) due to a Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason, which may not exceed three (3) years.

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.
