Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under [Section 2.03] if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election (or such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree). Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly (but no later than the close of business on the date of such request) by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

Elections. Any election under this Paragraph 8.9 shall be in writing on a form approved by the Committee, shall be filed in accordance with such procedures as the Committee shall establish and shall be subject to the written consent of the Eligible Participant’s spouse (as defined in Paragraph 8.1(e)) in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 8.1(f), if applicable. If an Eligible Participant who has filed an election under this Paragraph 8.9 becomes legally married prior to the Early Distribution Date, such election shall be subject to such spousal consent requirements.

Elections. All elections and notices of any kind hereunder shall be in writing and provided to the Secretary of the Company in a form prescribed by the Secretary. Unless marked as irrevocable, an election may be modified or revoked at any time prior to, and shall not be effective until, the deadline for making such election.

Deferral Elections. At any time within the 30-day period (or other shorter or longer period that the Committee selects in its sole discretion) in which a Participant who is a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees (within the meaning of the Code) receives an Award of Restricted Share Units (or before the calendar year in which such a Participant receives a subsequent Award, subject to adjustments by the Committee in accordance with Code Section 409A), the Committee may permit the Participant to irrevocably elect, on a form provided by and acceptable to the Committee, to defer the receipt of all or a percentage of the Shares that would otherwise be transferred to the Participant upon the vesting of such Award more than 12 months after the date of the Participant’s deferral election. If the Participant makes this election, the Shares subject to the election, and any associated dividends and interest, shall be credited to an account established pursuant to Section 9 on the date such Shares would otherwise have been released or issued to the Participant pursuant to Section 8(d) and no vesting shall occur (other than for death or Disability if provided pursuant to the Award Agreement) within the 12-month period following the date of the Participant’s election.

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.

For Directors who make an Annual Deferred Cash Election, the Company will establish a bookkeeping account for cash deferred for that Plan Year (an “Annual Deferred Cash Account”) and will credit to the Annual Deferred Cash Account the amount of the Eligible Fees earned and deferred by him/her as of the date such fees would normally be payable by the Company (the “Credit Date”). 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. The use of notional investments herein is solely as a device for computing the amount of benefits to be paid under the Plan, and the Company shall not be required to purchase such investments.

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.

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. On or before December 31 of any calendar year, an Officer may elect to defer receipt of Base Salary otherwise payable to the Officer for services rendered in a subsequent calendar year. On or before the 30th day after the date such Long-Term Incentive Award is granted and subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, an Officer may elect to defer the amount payable in respect of any Parent-Based Award or Time-Vesting Award but solely to the extent that such Award would not vest earlier than 12 months following such election. To the extent that any Time-Vesting Award or Parent-Based Award vests within 12 months of any deferral election, such election shall be void. On or before June 30 of any calendar year and subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, an Officer who has been continuously employed by the Participating Companies from the later of # January 1 of the calendar year in which the Officer’s services in respect of such award commence and # the date on which the performance criteria with respect to the subject Cash Bonus or Performance-Vesting Award were established may elect to defer receipt of Cash Bonuses and Performance-Vesting Awards otherwise payable to the Officer with respect to a performance period ending on December 31 of the year in which the deferral election is made. Furthermore, when an Officer who is not (and has not during the immediately preceding 24 months been) eligible to participate in any other plan, program or arrangement of the Company which must be aggregated with the Plan for purposes of Code Section 409A first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the Officer may elect, within the 30 day period immediately following such eligibility date, to defer receipt of Base Salary otherwise payable to the Officer in the calendar year in which such eligibility date occurs with respect to services performed after the date of the Deferral Election. A Deferral Election shall be made by written or electronic notice on a form or in a manner prescribed by or acceptable to the Company and shall be effective only when properly filed with the Company. The Company may from time to time establish minimum and maximum amounts (which may be stated as percentages of Compensation) that an Officer may defer. Any Deferral Election shall be subject to such conditions as the Company shall determine.

Deferral Elections. An Employee who satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 2 may, at the time and in the manner provided hereunder, elect to defer the receipt of his or her Eligible Compensation.
