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 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.

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.

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.

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.
