Form and Timing of Payment Under Awards; Deferrals. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Related Entity upon the exercise of an Option or other Award or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. Any installment or deferral provided for in the preceding sentence shall, however, subject to the terms of the Plan, be subject to the Company’s compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and all applicable rules of the Listing Market. Subject to Sections 7(e) and 9(a) hereof, the settlement of any Award may be accelerated, and cash paid in lieu of Shares in connection with such settlement, in the sole discretion of the Committee or upon occurrence of one or more specified events (in addition to a Change in Control). Any such settlement shall be at a value determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, which, without limitation, may in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be limited to the amount if any by which the Fair Market Value of a Share on the settlement date exceeds the exercise or grant price. Installment or deferred payments may be required by the Committee (subject to Section 7(e) of the Plan, including the consent provisions thereof in the case of any deferral of an outstanding Award not provided for in the original Award Agreement) or permitted at the election of the Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee. The acceleration of the settlement of any Award, and the payment of any Award in installments or on an deferred basis, all shall be done all in a manner that is intended to be exempt from or otherwise satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may, without limitation, make provision for the payment or crediting of a reasonable interest rate on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents or other amounts in respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in Shares.

Awards Deferrals. Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, to the extent that the terms of any Award held by a Participant who is subject to United States federal income tax requires or permits installment or deferred payment of such Award resulting in a "deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder (a "[Section 409A] Award"), such [Section 409A] Award shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

Timing and Form of Payment. After the bonus amount for a quarter is certified by the Committee or the President, as applicable, the bonus shall be paid in cash in a single lump sum within 45 days after the last day of the quarter, provided that the payment (if any) for the fourth quarter shall occur on or after January 1, 2023 and on or before March 15, 2023. Bonus payments are intended to qualify as short-term deferrals under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and shall be paid not later than the latest specified payment date (March 15, 2023). The Company shall have the authority to delay the payment of any bonus under the Program to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with Code section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i).

Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made at the time(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Performance Awards will be made at the time(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Performance Awards in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

Amounts contained in a participating Director’s Deferred Compensation Account will, subject to [Section 4.5] below, be distributed in a lump sum within 45 days following the applicable Payment Event (in any case, such payment date, the “Payment Date”), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exact Payment Date shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion (and the participating Director shall not have the right to designate the time of payment).

Calculation, Form and Timing of Payment. The calculation (including actuarial assumptions), form and timing of the Payment or Death Benefit upon the occurrence of a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Separation from Service”) shall be the same as the calculation (including actuarial assumptions), form and timing of similar payments to Employee or designated beneficiary as the case may be, under the terms of the SERP and the SBP (but, as to the SBP, only concerning the “Pension Benefit” provided thereunder) as each may be amended from time to time.

PAYOUT FORM AND TIMING. Annual Incentive Awards will be paid in a lump sum in cash as soon as administratively practicable after the Committee or the CEO (in the case of Participants that are not [Section 16] Officers) determines whether and to what extent Performance Objectives were achieved, but in any event during the calendar year following the end of the Plan Year for which the Annual Incentive Awards, if any, were earned; provided that any Annual Incentive Award which is properly deferred by a Participant under a deferred compensation plan or arrangement adopted or approved by the Company shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of such deferral.

Timing of Payment. After the bonus amount is certified by the Committee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the bonuses shall be paid in cash in a single lump sum. Notwithstanding anything in Section V.2 to the contrary, such payment shall occur following the completion of the 2024 calendar year, and in any event, on or before March 15, 2025.

Timing of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11(b) or in Section 13, distribution of Awards for a Performance Period shall be made on, or as soon as practicable after, the distribution date for such Awards determined by the Committee, which date shall be on or before March 15 following the end of the applicable Performance Period, but in no event shall such date be later than the December 31 immediately following such March 15, and shall be payable in cash. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Participant shall have the unconditional right to an Award hereunder until the Performance Period has concluded and the exact amount of the Award (if any) has been determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 10. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12, payment of any Award is subject to continued active employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries until the date the Award is paid.
