Vesting on Eligible Income. A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in any Eligible Income deferred under this Plan and credited to his Account.

Net Income. Net Income of the Partnership with respect to any fiscal period shall mean the excess of the gross sales for such period over all operating expenses for such period, as those terms are defined herein, determined on an accrual basis and determined without regard to amounts deducted by the Partnership for cost recovery of tangible assets or amortization of capitalized or other capital accounts.

The Company shall not deliver shares of Common Stock in respect of the exercise of any Option unless and until you have made satisfactory arrangements to pay or otherwise satisfy all applicable tax withholding obligations. Unless you pay the tax withholding obligations to the Company by cash or check in connection with the exercise of the Option, tax withholding may be effected, at the Company’s option, by withholding Common Stock issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option (provided that shares of Common Stock may be withheld only to the extent that such tax withholding will not result in adverse accounting treatment for the Company). You acknowledge that the Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes required to be withheld by law in connection with the exercise of the Option from any amounts payable by it to you (including, without limitation, future cash wages).

Income Taxes. On the distribution date of the deferred shares, the Company shall retain or sell, without notice, a sufficient number of shares to cover the amount needed to fulfill its withholding requirements for Federal, state and local income taxes, and other taxes.

Income Account. The account will be credited with the amount deferred, and interest shall begin to accrue, as of the date the Non-Employee Director’s cash compensation is payable. Interest is credited at a rate equal to the simple combined average of the monthly Aa Industrial Bond yield averages for the immediately preceding calendar quarter as reported in Moody’s Bond Record. Interest is compounded quarterly. Amounts credited to the Income Account shall be distributed either in a single payment or in substantially equal quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments (over a period not to exceed 15 years), as specified by the Non-Employee Director on the deferral election form. If a Non-Employee Director fails to specify the manner in which the Income Account shall be distributed, then it shall be distributed in a single payment.

Income Taxes. The Participant shall pay to the Company promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Participant recognizes taxable income in respect of the shares of Common Stock received by the Participant upon the conversion of all or a portion of the Participant’s Stock Unit Account, an amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to such shares of Common Stock. Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, the delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned or by withholding such number of actual shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement as is equal to the withholding tax due, or in a combination of such methods. In the event that the Participant does not affirmatively instruct the Company ahead of the applicable vesting date that he or she wishes to pay withholding taxes in another manner specified above, the Company shall withhold shares from the settlement of the Award.
