If a Participant fails to make a timely payment election on the Election Form for a Plan Year, the amounts deferred in the Deferred Compensation Account and the Deferred Stock Account, as applicable, for such Plan Year (and earnings thereon) shall be distributed in a lump sum in accordance with [Section 6(a)(i)] hereof.
To the extent applicable, it is intended that the compensation arrangements under this Agreement be in full compliance with Code Section 409A. This Agreement shall be construed in a manner to give effect to such intention. In no event whatsoever (including, but not limited to as a result of this paragraph 16 or otherwise) shall [[Organization A:Organization]] or any of its affiliates be liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on you under Code Section 409A. Neither [[Organization A:Organization]] nor any of its affiliates have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless from any or all such taxes, interest or penalties, or liability for any damages related thereto. You acknowledge that you have been advised to obtain independent legal, tax or other counsel in connection with Code Section 409A.
The Participants shall have a 100% vested right to the amounts credited to their Deferred Compensation Account, payable at the time and in the form specified in the Plan.
Section # Time, Amount and Form of Payment. Each payment of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation to such Participant will be subject to the following rules and any other rules adopted from time to time by the Committee and uniformly applied:
Deferred Payment Option. Payment of the balance of a Participant’s Account upon Retirement or Disability (or the commencement of installment payments as described in [Section 5.1(a)(iii)] above) may, with respect to such one or more Plan Year Accounts and/or Performance Cycle Accounts as the Participant may elect at the time of the initial deferral election with respect thereto, be deferred to such date, not later than the first day of the month following his or her seventieth (70th) birthday, as the Participant may specify in such election. A Participant’s election for installment or deferred payment with respect to such Account may also be made at any later date more than twelve months prior to the date that payment with respect to such Account would otherwise be made or begin, but an election at such a later date shall be given effect only if the deferred date for making or commencement of payments under such election is not earlier than five years after the date the payment with respect to such Account would have been made or begun prior to such later election.
In the case of a Director who has both a Deferred Compensation Account and Stock Units, if a partial distribution of a deferred portion of Director’s Fees is to be made and if the Director’s Stock Units are immediately payable in accordance with the previous paragraph, payment shall be made partially from the Director’s Deferred Compensation Account and partially from Stock Units, in proportion to the relative size of the Deferred Compensation Account and the Stock Units. If the Director’s Stock Units are not immediately payable in accordance with the previous paragraph, the partial payment shall be made entirely from the Director’s Deferred Compensation Account.
Each participating Non-Employee Director may elect to have all or a portion of his cash compensation placed into one or both of two unfunded accounts maintained by the Company (hereafter Deferred Accounts). At the time a Non-Employee Director makes a deferral election, such Non-Employee Director shall specify the time and manner in which the Deferred Accounts shall be paid, using the deferral election forms prescribed by the Committee. Payment of the Deferred Accounts may be made # at the time of the Non-Employee Director’s Termination or # based on a specific date after the Non-Employee Director’s Termination (including the date the Non-Employee Director attains a specified age). The Non-Employee Director’s deferral election form also must specify the allocation and investment of the deferred compensation between the Stock Unit Account and the Income Account. If a Non-Employee Director fails to specify the allocation and investment of the deferred compensation, then it shall be allocated and invested in the Income Account. Amounts deferred into the Stock Unit Account or the Income Account may not be transferred to the other deferred account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Non-Employee Director elects to receive a credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a) or 4(d), such credit may not be allocated to the Income Account.
Under the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, an Outside Director may elect to have all or part of director fees credited to a deferred compensation account in the form of units equivalent to shares of the Company's common stock.
Discretionary Deferrals. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, provide additional compensation to eligible directors in the form of Share Units, with such Share Units being deferred and credited to the participant’s deferred compensation account pursuant to Section 3.
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. If Participant is eligible, and has made the appropriate election, to defer the Award into Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”), and the Award is eligible for deferral under the Deferral Plan, then at the time of vesting, the Restricted Stock Units that would otherwise vest under this Agreement (but not any Dividend Equivalents, which shall be delivered to Participant in accordance with Paragraph 10), instead of being delivered to Participant shall be credited to Participant’s account under the Deferral Plan, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deferral Plan and any related deferral agreement.
