No Deferral Election – Restriction Period. Restricted Stock Units are subject to a Restriction Period which will terminate on or, if Corporation’s Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the next date on which the Corporation’s Common Stock is traded.
A Director who elects to participate in the deferral of Director’s Fees under the Plan shall file a deferral election on a form, which shall indicate:
Deferral Election. Each Participant may make an irrevocable election to defer distribution of Restricted Stock Unit Shares payable in respect of an Award until the Participant’s Separation from Service, in accordance with this Agreement and procedures established by the Corporate Secretary. To make a deferral election, a Participant must file an irrevocable deferral form with the Corporation before the beginning of the year in which such Award would be granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in accordance with [Section 3] of the Plan, an individual is to be elected by the Board to be a non-employee director of the Corporation after the Committee has made an Award to non-employee directors for that calendar year, then that individual must make the deferral election prior to that individual’s election as a director in order to defer distribution of the initial grant of Restrict Stock Unit Shares. The deferral election must specify whether the Participant is to receive the Restricted Stock Unit Shares upon the Participant’s Separation From Service in either a single distribution or in ten annual installments.
Deferral Election. Each Director may elect, with respect to any Year, that all or any percentage of his or her Eligible Compensation be deferred in accordance with the terms of this Plan.
The Period of Restriction shall begin on the Grant Date and lapse, except as otherwise provided in [Sections 3 and 4]4] of this Agreement, as follows:
Restriction Period; Payment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan and provided that Grantee remains continuously employed throughout the restriction periods set forth below, one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest per year over three years on each September 30th following the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”), as set forth below:
Period of Restriction. The Award of Restricted Stock Units described in this Agreement shall be subject to the Period of Restriction as set forth in Paragraph 2; for purposes of this Agreement, “Period of Restriction” means the period of time after which the Award shall be deemed “vested” and settled in cash as provided in the Plan and this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder, and all rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated.
Terminations of Employment A Participant who completes a deferral election in accordance with this [Section 2.4], but who has a Termination of Employment prior to the deadline for making such election has expired, will be deemed to have made no deferral election for the respective period.
An election to defer Compensation shall be effective on the date an eligible Employee or Director delivers a completed Election of Deferral form to the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that, if the eligible Employee or Director delivers another properly completed Election of Deferral form to the Plan Administrator prior to the close of the deferral election period described in [Section 4.1] , the deferral election on the form bearing the latest date shall control. After the last day of the election period, the controlling election made prior to the close of the period shall be irrevocable.
“Election Period” means the period established by the Committee during which Participant deferral and distribution elections must be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, the Election Period shall be the month of December, provided however that the Election Period shall in no event end later than the last day of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year in which Compensation with regard to which a deferral is made is earned. Elections shall only be permissible if made during the Election Period.
