ARTICLE 2

DEFERRALS

2.1 Elections Generally. The Executive may annually file a Base Salary, Bonus and Performance-Based Compensation Deferral Election Form and a Benefit Payment Election Form with the Administrator no later than the end of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which services leading to the compensation to be deferred will be performed. The elections shall specify the amount of Compensation to be deferred for the following Plan Year as well as the timing of payment of such Deferrals and earnings attributable to such Deferrals. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, any election under a Base Salary, Bonus and Performance-Based Compensation Deferral Election Form shall be irrevocable as of December 31 of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year with respect to which the election relates.

2.2 Initial Election. After being notified by the Administrator of becoming eligible to participate in this Agreement, the Executive may make an initial deferral election by delivering to the Administrator signed Deferral Election Forms within thirty (30) days after becoming eligible. The Deferral Election Forms shall set forth the amount of Base Salary, Bonus and Performance-Based Compensation to be deferred. However, if the Executive was eligible to participate in any other account balance plans sponsored by the Employer (as referenced in Code Section 409A) prior to becoming eligible to participate in this Agreement, including the Deferred Compensation Agreement, the initial Deferral Election Form under this Agreement shall not be effective until the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Executive became eligible to participate in this Agreement.

2.3 Election Changes. The Executive may modify the amount of Deferrals annually by filing a new Deferral Election Form with the Employer. The modified deferral shall not be effective until the calendar year following the year in which the subsequent Deferral Election Form is received by the Employer.

2.4 Hardship. If an Unforeseeable Emergency occurs, the Executive, by written instructions to the Employer may discontinue deferrals hereunder. Any subsequent Deferral Elections may be made only in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof.

2.5 Employer Contributions. In addition to any Deferrals, the Employer may, at any time, make a Contribution to the Deferral Account. Contributions may, at the election of the Employer, be subject to a vesting schedule or such other conditions as the Employer may provide in writing to the Executive prior to making the Contribution. A Contribution made in a Plan Year, together with any earnings thereon, will be paid in the same manner as the Executive elects for the payment of any Deferral made during such Plan Year pursuant to the Benefit Payment Election Form completed by the Executive for the Plan Year of the Deferral; provided, however, that if no Deferral is made for a Plan Year in which a Contribution is made, then the Contribution, and any earnings thereon, shall be paid in the manner elected by the Executive for the payment of Deferrals under the Benefit Payment Election Form completed by the Executive closest in time before the Plan Year of the Contribution.

ARTICLE 3

DEFERRAL ACCOUNT

3.1 Establishing and Crediting. The Employer shall establish a Deferral Account on its books for the Executive and shall credit to the Deferral Account the following amounts:

(a) Any Deferrals or Contributions hereunder; and

(b) Interest as follows:

(i) on the last day of each month prior to the earliest of Separation from Service, Disability or the Executive’s death, interest shall be credited on the Deferral Account balance at an annual rate equal to the Accumulation Period Crediting Rate, compounded monthly; and

(ii) on the last day of each month following the earliest of Separation from Service, Disability or the Executive’s death, interest shall be credited on the Deferral Account balance at an annual rate equal to the Distribution Period Crediting Rate, compounded monthly.

3.2 Recordkeeping Device Only. The Deferral Account is solely a device for measuring amounts to be paid under this Agreement and is not a trust fund of any kind.

ARTICLE 4

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

4.1 Normal Benefit. Unless Disability, Separation from Service or the Executive’s death occurs prior to Normal Benefit Age, the Employer shall pay the Executive the Normal Benefit hereunder commencing at the time selected on the Benefit Payment Election Form. The benefit shall be the Deferral Account balance calculated at the time payment commences in lieu of any other benefit hereunder. This benefit shall be paid commencing the date indicated, and on the schedule elected, by the Executive on the various Benefit Payment Election Forms completed by the Executive.

4.2 Early Termination Benefit. If Early Termination occurs, the Employer shall pay the Executive the Deferral Account balance calculated at Separation from Service in lieu of any other benefit hereunder. This benefit shall be paid commencing the date indicated, and on the schedule elected, by the Executive on the various Benefit Payment Election Forms completed by the Executive.

4.3 Disability Benefit. If the Executive experiences a Disability prior to Normal Benefit Age, the Employer shall pay the Executive the Deferral Account balance calculated as of the date of determination of Disability, in lieu of any other benefit hereunder. This benefit shall be paid commencing the date indicated, and on the schedule elected, by the Executive on the various Benefit Payment Election Forms completed by the Executive.

4.4 Change in Control Benefit. If a Change in Control occurs, followed within twenty-four (24) months by Separation from Service, provided, however, that such Separation from Service occurs prior to Normal Benefit Age the Employer shall pay the Executive the Deferral Account balance calculated at Separation from Service, in lieu of any other benefit hereunder. This benefit shall be paid commencing the date indicated, and on the schedule elected, by the Executive on the various Benefit Payment Election Forms completed by the Executive.

4.5 Death Prior to Commencement of Benefit Payments. In the event the Executive dies prior to any benefit payments pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4 of this Agreement, the Employer shall pay the Beneficiary the Deferral Account balance calculated as of the date of the Executive’s death, in lieu of any other benefit hereunder. This benefit shall be paid commencing the date indicated, and on the schedule elected, by the Executive on the various Benefit Payment Election Forms completed by the Executive.

4.6 Death Subsequent to Commencement of Benefit Payments. In the event the Executive dies while receiving payments, but prior to receiving all payments due and owing hereunder, the Employer shall pay the Beneficiary the same amounts at the same times as the Employer would have paid the Executive, had the Executive survived.

4.7 Hardship Distribution. If an Unforeseeable Emergency occurs, the Executive may petition the Board to receive a distribution from the Agreement (a “Hardship Distribution”). The Board in its sole discretion may grant such petition. If granted, the Executive shall receive, within sixty (60) days, a distribution from the Agreement only to the extent deemed necessary by the Board to remedy the Unforeseeable Emergency, plus an amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. In any event, the maximum amount which may be paid out as a Hardship Distribution is the Deferral Account balance as of the day the Executive petitioned the Board to receive a Hardship Distribution. A Hardship Distribution shall reduce the Deferral Account balance.

4.8 Termination for Cause. If the Employer terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, the minimum crediting rate described in Section 1.19 shall be ignored such that the interest credited during the distribution period is equal to the average yield on the 10-year Treasury Note during the month immediately preceding the commencement of benefit payments, plus two percent (2%).

4.9 Restriction on Commencement of Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is considered a Specified Employee at the time of Separation from Service, the provisions of this Section shall govern all distributions hereunder. Distributions which would otherwise be made to the Executive due to Separation from Service shall not be made during the first six (6) months following Separation from Service. Rather, any distribution which would otherwise be paid to the Executive during such period shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following Separation from Service, or if earlier, upon the Executive’s death. All subsequent distributions shall be paid as they would have had this Section not applied.

4.10 Acceleration of Payments. Except as specifically permitted herein, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment may be made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments may be accelerated, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4) in the following circumstances: (i) as a result of certain domestic relations orders; (ii) in compliance with ethics laws or conflicts of interest laws; (iii) in limited cashouts (but not in excess of the limit under Code §402(g)(l)(B)); (iv) to pay employment-related taxes; or (v) to pay any taxes that may become due at any time that the Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.

4.11 Delays in Payment by Employer. A payment may be delayed to a date after the designated payment date under any of the circumstances described below, and the provision will not fail to meet the requirements of establishing a permissible payment event, provided that the delay in payment complies with all of the requirements of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(b)(7). The delay in the payment will not constitute a subsequent deferral election, so long as the Employer treats all payments to similarly situated service providers on a reasonably consistent basis.

(a) Payments subject to Code Section 162(m). If the Employer reasonably anticipates that the Employer’s deduction with respect to any distribution under this Agreement would be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the Employer to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution from this Agreement is deductible, the Employer may delay payment of any amount that would otherwise be distributed under this Agreement. The delayed amounts shall be distributed to the Executive (or the Beneficiary in the event of the Executive’s death) either (i) during the Executive’s first taxable year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m), or (ii) during the period beginning with the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the year in which the Separation from Service occurs or the 15th day of the third month following the Separation from Service, subject to further delay in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(b)(7) if the Executive is a Specified Employee at the time of the Separation from Service.

(b) Payments that would violate federal securities laws or other applicable law. A payment may be delayed where the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or other applicable law, provided that the payment is made at the earliest date at which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code is not treated as a violation of law.

(c) Solvency. Notwithstanding the above, a payment may be delayed where the payment would jeopardize the ability of the Employer to continue as a going concern, provided that the payment is made during the first calendar year in which the making of the payment would not have such effect.

4.12 Treatment of Payment as Made on Designated Payment Date. Solely for purposes of determining compliance with Code Section 409A, any payment under this Agreement made after the required payment date shall be deemed made on the required payment date provided that such payment is made by the latest of: (i) the end of the calendar year in which the payment is due; (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the payment due date; (iii) if Employer cannot calculate the payment amount on account of administrative impracticality which is beyond the Executive’s control, the end of the first calendar year which payment calculation is practicable; and (iv) if Employer does not have sufficient funds to make the payment without jeopardizing the Employer’s solvency, in the first calendar year in which the Employer’s funds are sufficient to make the payment.

4.13 Facility of Payment. If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to a person who is otherwise incompetent, then the Administrator may make such distribution: (i) to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of a minor payee with whom the payee maintains his or her residence; or (ii) to the conservator or administrator or, if none, to the person having custody of an incompetent payee. Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Employer and the Administrator from further liability on account thereof.

4.14 Excise Tax Gross Up. In the event any payment described herein, when added to all other amounts or benefits provided to or on behalf of the Executive in connection with his Separation from Service would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Code Section 4999, the Employer will pay the Executive an additional cash payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that the after-tax proceeds of the Gross-Up Payment (including any income tax or excise tax on the Gross-Up Payment) will be equal to the amount of the excise tax. Such Gross-Up payment will be made not later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Executive remits the excise tax.

4.15 Changes in Form of Timing of Benefit Payments. The Employer and the Executive may, subject to the terms hereof, amend this Agreement to delay the timing or change the form of payments. Any such amendments shall comply with all of the requirements of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(b), including the following:

(a) the amendment must take effect not less than twelve (12) months after the amendment is made;

(b) the amendment must, for benefits distributable due solely to the arrival of a specified date, or on account of a Separation from Service or a Change in Control, delay the commencement of distributions for a minimum of five (5) years from the date the first distribution would otherwise have been paid;

(c) the amendment must, for benefits distributable due solely to the arrival of a specified date, be made not less than twelve (12) months before distribution is scheduled to begin; and

(d) the amendment may not accelerate the time or schedule of any distribution.

4.16 Rabbi Trust. The Employer shall create a rabbi trust within thirty (30) days following a Separation from Service or, if earlier, prior to or concurrently with a Change in Control. At all times after such creation, the trust shall be funded with assets at least equal to the Deferral Account balance. Until paid to Executive as specified in this Agreement, the principal of the trust and any earnings thereon shall (a) be held separate and apart from other funds of the Employer, (b) be used exclusively for discharge of the Employer’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and (c) continue to be subject to the claims of the Employer’s general creditors. The trustee of any trust described in this Section shall be unrelated to, and independent of, the Employer and any successor to the Employer hereunder.

ARTICLE 5

BENEFICIARIES

5.1 Designation of Beneficiaries. The Executive may designate any person to receive any benefits payable under the Agreement upon the Executive’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Executive by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Executive, shall be in the form prescribed by the Administrator and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Administrator during the Executive’s lifetime. If the Executive names someone other than the Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated by the Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse and returned to the Administrator. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved.

5.2 Absence of Beneficiary Designation. In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary validly named by the Executive, the Employer shall pay the benefit payment to the Executive’s spouse. If the spouse is not living then the Employer shall pay the benefit payment to the Executive’s living descendants per stirpes, and if there are no living descendants, to the Executive’s estate, In determining the existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Employer may rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Executive’s personal representative, executor, or administrator.

ARTICLE 6

ADMINISTRATION

When making a determination or calculation, the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by the Employer, Executive or Beneficiary.
