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.

Each Eligible Executive may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his/her Gainsharing Award and/or the entirety of any of his/her Stock Awards in respect of any Plan Year by completing a Deferral Agreement in such manner and in accordance with such procedures as the Committee shall establish from time to time. If a Gainsharing Award is payable in installments, each installment, whether or not payable in the same Plan Year, shall be subject to the same Deferral Agreement. Any taxes or other amounts due with respect to any deferred Gainsharing Award or Annual Stock Award shall be paid by the Eligible Executive to the Company no later than the date specified by the Company. Non-Annual Stock Awards are not eligible to be deferred under the Plan.
Each Deferral Agreement must satisfy all of the following requirements:
If an Eligible Executive wishes to defer receipt of all or a portion of any Award for a fixed period of time (“Fixed Deferral Period”), then his/her Deferral Agreement relating to such Award shall specify that Fixed Deferral Period. Such Fixed Deferral Period shall not be less than three (3) years following # in the case of a deferral of all or a portion of a Gainsharing Award, the end of the Plan Year in which the Gainsharing Award will be earned and # in the case of a deferral of a Stock Award, the end of the Plan Year in which the last of the restrictions applicable to the Stock Award expires. In the case of a Stock Award as to which restrictions expire in installments, the Fixed Deferral Period must end on the same date for all installments. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 2.3, Eligible Executives may not elect a Fixed Deferral Period with respect to the deferral of any Performance-Based Stock Award.
The HRC or Plan Manager shall determine whether an Award is paid in cash or equity or a combination thereof and at what level such Awards shall be subject to deferral whether in cash or equity. Generally, deferred Awards shall be paid in the form of Restricted Share Rights, unless prohibited by Applicable Laws, Policies, and Expectations, or as determined by the Plan Manager, in which case the deferred Awards will be paid in the form of long-term cash. Deferred Awards shall be paid in the form of long-term incentives, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable long-term incentive plan and respective Award agreement.
