Common use of Election to Defer Distribution Clause in Contracts

Election to Defer Distribution. If the distribution is subject to United States tax law, an eligible Grantee may elect to defer the distribution of RSUs granted under this Award. The Grantee may make a separate deferral election with respect to RSUs vesting on each separate Vesting Date. Such election(s) shall be in accordance with such rules and within such time periods as may be established by the Committee. A deferral, if elected, will result in the transfer of the deferred RSUs into the HBI Stock Fund in the Company’s deferred compensation plan in effect, and applicable to the Grantee, at the time the deferred RSUs would have otherwise been distributed. The applicable Company deferred compensation plan rules will govern the administration of this Award beginning on the date the RSUs are credited to the applicable deferred compensation plan. Dividend equivalents that accrue with respect to RSUs granted under this Award pursuant to Paragraph 3 may not be deferred and will be paid in accordance with Paragraph 3.
