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. If a Participant is permitted to elect to defer an Award or any payment under an Award, such election must be in writing (on a form acceptable to the Committee) and must be received by the Company by the following election deadlines:

Lender Elections. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to provide a portion of the Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide a portion of the Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable. Each prospective lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to fund any portion of the requested Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments and, if so, by what amount. Any prospective lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to fund any portion of the Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable.

Default Elections. If a Participant fails to specify the date on which payment of the deferred amount and any HP Matching Contributions for the Plan Year (and earnings thereon) is to commence, then Participant will be deemed to have elected distribution at Participant’s Termination Date, subject to Sections 5.3 or 5.4 below. If a Participant fails to make an effective payment form designation on a Deferral Form, the amount deferred and any HP Matching Contributions for the Plan Year (and earnings thereon) under such Deferral Form will be distributed in a single lump sum in the year elected.

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.

A participant may elect to have all of his accounts invested in such investment fund or combination of investment funds as may be established by the trustee and made available for the benefit of participants; provided, however, that in no event may the participant direct that any portion of his account(s) be invested in collectibles (as defined in Code section 408(m)). A participant's investment election shall not apply to any portion of any account that may be invested in a participant loan sub-account established under [Section 4.4]. The investment results shall be allocated to the participant's account(s) based upon earnings and losses on the participant's share in such investment fund or funds.

Tax Elections. Buyer will not make any election under Code Section 338 or Code Section 336 (or any similar provisions under state, local, or foreign Law) with respect to the acquisition of the Partnership Interest pursuant to this Agreement.

Initial Options. Each Initial Option shall vest and become exercisable in thirty-six (36) substantially equal monthly installments following the date of grant, such that the Initial Option shall be fully vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service as a Non-Employee Director through each such vesting date.

Initial Awards. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the Effective Date will be granted an award of Options (an “Initial Award”) to purchase a number of Shares having a Value (as defined below) of $758,000, with any resulting fraction rounded down to the nearest whole Share. The Initial Award will be granted automatically on the first Trading Day on or after the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director (the first date as an Outside Director, the “Initial Start Date”), whether through election by the Company’s stockholders or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. If an individual was a member of the Board and also an employee, becoming an Outside Director due to termination of employment will not entitle the Outside Director to an Initial Award. Each Initial Award will be scheduled to vest as follows: One-thirty sixth (1/36th) of the Shares subject to the Initial Award will be scheduled to vest each month following the grant date, in each case subject to the Outside Director continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

Initial Awards. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board on any date (including the date of an Annual Meeting) shall be automatically granted, on the date of such Non-Employee Director’s initial election or appointment (such Non-Employee Director’s “Start Date”), an award of restricted stock units that have an aggregate fair value on such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date equal to $400,000 (as determined in accordance with ASC 718). The awards described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.” For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything set forth herein, # no Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award, and # in the event that a Non-Employee Director’s Start Date occurs on the date of an Annual Meeting, such Director shall receive an award of restricted stock units that have an aggregate fair value on such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date equal to $600,000 (as determined in accordance with ASC 718) (which is meant to represent the sum of an Initial Award and an Annual Award).
