Amounts credited to an Eligible Director’s Annual Deferred Cash Account will be adjusted for gains and/or losses to the same extent that equal amounts would have been adjusted if they had been invested in one or more notional investments designated by the Company.

Eligible Directors may elect to exchange part or all of their Eligible Fees for a Plan Year for the Company’s commitment to issue to such Eligible Directors a fixed number of shares of common stock of the Company at a future date. The Company’s commitment to issue shares shall be referred to as “Phantom Shares” held in an “Annual Deferred Stock Account”.
