Section 2.1 Deferral Elections Generally. Each Director shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. In order to participate, a Director must submit a Deferral Election (using a form approved by the Company) to
the Company’s Secretary prior to the first day of the calendar year in which the Director's Fees or Stock Award would otherwise be received. The Director’s Deferral Election shall be effective and irrevocable with respect to the Fees and/or Stock Award specified therein that would otherwise be received by such Director for the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Deferral Election is made. The Deferral Election may also be made effective (by so specifying in the Deferral Election) with respect to subsequent calendar years; provided, however, that the Deferral Election with respect to any calendar year may be changed or revoked by filing a new Deferral Election prior to the beginning of such year. With respect to the calendar year in which a Director first becomes eligible to participate, a Deferral Election may be made within 30 days after the date the Director first
becomes eligible with respect to Fees payable or Stock Awards granted subsequent to the Deferral Election.
Section 2.2 Deferral to Cash Account or Share Account.
(a) Each Director shall specify in his/her Deferral Election whether Fee Deferrals are to be credited to a Cash Account and/or Share Account established by the Company on its books in his/her name. Fee Deferrals shall be credited to the Director's Cash Account and/or Share Account as of the date the deferred Fees would have otherwise been paid to the Director.
(b) Each Director shall also specify in his/her Deferral Election whether the Director wishes to defer all or any portion of his/her Stock Awards. Deferrals of Stock Awards shall be credited

(c) Any Deferrals that a Director elects to be credited to his/her Share Account pursuant to (a) or (b) above shall be in the form of Share Units, the number of which shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Fees or the value of the Stock Award subject to the election by the Fair Market Value on the date the Fees or Stock Award would have otherwise been paid or issued to the Director.

A Director's or Beneficiary's Share Account shall receive additional credits for cash dividends and
shall be adjusted for stock dividends, splits, combinations or other changes in the Common Stock. Cash dividends shall be converted into additional Share Units determined by dividing (i) the cash dividend amount that the Director would have received had he/she owned an equivalent number of
shares of Common Stock, by (ii) the Fair Market Value on the date on which the dividend is paid to the Company’s stockholders.
Article III - PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS
Section 3.1 Payment. Upon a Director's Separation from Service for any reason other than death, payment to the Director of his/her Accounts shall be made or commenced within 60 days following Separation from Service.
Section 3.2 Payment Election.
(a)
Initial Election. A Director’s
Cash Account shall be paid in a lump-sum within 60 days after his/her Separation from Service; provided that the Director may elect (using a form approved by the Company) at the time of his/her initial Deferral Election to have his/her Cash Account paid in monthly installments over two to 20 years.
(b)
Change to Prior Election. A Director may elect (using a form approved by the Company) to change a form of payment previously elected with respect to his or her Cash Account (or if the Director had made no election, then to elect a form other than the lump-sum), provided
(i) such new election does not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the election is made, and (ii) if commencement of payment is not related to the Director's Disability or death, the first payment with respect to which such new election is effective is deferred for a period of five years from the date such payment would otherwise have commenced.
(c)
Payment of Share Accounts. Subject to Section 4.2, a Director’s Share Account, if any, shall be paid in a single lump-sum within 60 days following the Director’s Separation from Service in the form of shares of Common Stock, which shall be issued to the Director or his/her Beneficiary pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock to
be issued to the Director or his/her Beneficiary shall be equal to the number of Share Units credited to the Director’s Share Account at such time, with any fractional Share Unit paid in cash based on current Fair Market Value.
Section 3.3 Payment to Beneficiary. If a Director dies prior to the commencement or completion of payments of his/her Cash Account, then such Account shall be paid (or continue to be paid if payments had previously commenced) within 60 days of the date of death to his/her Beneficiary (i) pursuant to the applicable payment election made by the Director or (ii) in a lump-sum if an effective payment election does not exist. If a Director dies prior to payment of his/her Share Account, if any, then such Account shall be paid within 60 days of the date of death to his/her Beneficiary pursuant to Section 3.2(c).
Each
current or former Director who has a Cash Account or Share Account may designate (using a form approved by the Company) a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom his/her Accounts shall be paid in the event of death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Director
and will be effective only when filed during his/her lifetime by the Director with the Company’s Secretary. If the Director shall have failed to name a Beneficiary, or if the named Beneficiary dies before receiving payment of the entire balance in such Director's Accounts, the Committee
may in its discretion make payment directly to the spouse or any one or more or all of the next of kin of the Director or to the legal representative of his/her estate.
Section 3.4 Small Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Article III to the contrary, if the aggregate value of a Director's Accounts is $10,000 or less on the Director's Separation from Service or death, such value shall be paid in a lump-sum to the Director or his/her Beneficiary in full settlement of his/her rights under this Plan.
Section 3.5 Domestic Relations Order. If a court order is issued to the Company that is intended to divide a Director's Accounts between the Director and his/her
spouse, such order shall be applied by the Company if it clearly specifies the manner for determining a former spouse's share of the Director's Accounts, and it does not provide for payments to the former spouse prior to the time the Director or his/her Beneficiary is eligible for payments. Payments pursuant to such an order shall be made only to the extent that payment of the Director's Accounts has commenced and shall reduce the Director's Accounts.
Article IV - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
Section 4.1 Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time. No such amendment or termination may decrease the balance of a Director's or Beneficiary's Accounts. In the event of Plan termination, each Director's or Beneficiary's Accounts
shall be paid to him/her as required by Article III hereof, or the Accounts may be paid in a lump-sum provided (i) the Company terminates all non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements of the same type at the same time that this Plan is terminated; (ii) the Company makes no payments to Directors and Beneficiaries for 12 months but makes all payments within 24 months; and (iii) the Company adopts no new non‑qualified deferred compensation arrangement of the same type for five years.
Section 4.2 Corporate Change. Upon a Corporate Change, the Board may terminate the Plan, and in such event each current or former Director and
each Beneficiary shall immediately receive a lump-sum payment of his/her Accounts. The Share Units in a Director’s Share Account shall be paid in cash, the amount to be determined by multiplying the number of Share Units credited to his/her Share Account on the date of the Corporate Change by the Fair Market Value on such date.
Article V - MISCELLANEOUS
Section 5.1 Administration. The Company, which shall administer the Plan, shall have the power and duty to maintain records concerning the Plan; to construe and interpret the Plan; and to authorize and direct all Plan payments. Any payment made in accordance with Plan provisions shall be in complete discharge of the Company's
obligation to make such payment.
Section 5.2 Service on the Board. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as conferring a right on any person to be nominated for reelection to the Board or to be reelected to the Board.
Section 5.3 No Right to Company Assets. Neither the Director nor any other person shall acquire by reason of the Plan any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company. Any payments hereunder shall be paid from the general assets of the
Company. The Director shall have only a contractual right to the amounts, if any, payable hereunder unsecured by any asset of the Company.
Section 5.4 Non-Assignability. Except as provided in Section 3.5, neither the Director nor any other person shall have any voluntary or involuntary right to commute, sell, assign, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall be, prior to actual payment, subject to the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Director or any other person, or be transferable by operation of law in the event
of the Director's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency.
Section 5.5 Incapacity of Recipient. If a current or former Director or a Beneficiary is deemed by the Company to be incapable of personally receiving any payments under the Plan, then, unless and until claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person, the Company may provide for such payment or any part thereof to be made to any other person or institution providing for the care and maintenance of such person.
