BOARD DEFERRED COMPENSATION POLICY

Stock Retainer Elections by Directors. A Director who has met his or her Ownership Guideline under the Directors’ Compensation Policy may elect (the “Stock Retainer Election”) by the date that the Administrator prescribes (the “Election Deadline”) to receive one hundred percent (100%) of his or her Annual Equity Award for the following calendar year in the form of either (a) shares of Common Stock or (b) Stock Units payable in five years (“Five-Year Stock Units”). A Director who does not make an election will receive his or her Annual Equity Award in Stock Units payable at separation from service from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A, including due to the Director’s death (a “Separation from Service”).

Stock Retainer Election Payment Date. On each Stock Retainer Election, the Director shall elect whether he or she wishes to receive Common Stock or Five-Year Stock Units. If the Director elects to receive Five-Year Stock Units, the Five-Year Stock Units shall be payable on the earlier of (a) the date the Director has a Separation from Service or (b) January 15^th of the fifth (5th) calendar year ending after the calendar year in which the Annual Equity Award is earned.

Cash Retainer Elections by Directors. A Director may elect (the “Cash Retainer Election” and, together with the Stock Retainer Election, the “Election”) by the Election Deadline to receive one hundred percent (100%) of his or her Annual Cash Retainers for the following calendar year in the form of Stock Units. The Stock Units will, by default, be payablewithin 30 days following the date the Director has a Separation from Service. However, if the Director has met his or her Ownership Guideline under the Directors’ Compensation Policy as of the date of the last quarterly grant of the Annual Equity Award for a given year, the Director may elect on each Cash Retainer Election to receive his or her Annual Cash Retainers for the following calendar year in the form of Five-Year Stock Units instead. The Five-Year Stock Units shall be payable on the earlier of (a) the date the Director has a Separation from Service or (b) January 15^th of the fifth (5^th) calendar year ending after the calendar year in which the Annual Cash Retainers are earned.

Stock Units and Accounts. Each Director who receives Stock Units shall have a Stock Unit Account. Stock Units with respect to Annual Equity Awards shall be credited to the Director’s Stock Unit Account on the quarterly grant dates on which the Annual Equity Award is earned. Stock Units with respect to Annual Cash Retainers shall be credited to the Director’s Stock Unit Account on the quarterly dates on which the Annual Cash Retainers would otherwise have been paid. The number of Stock Units shall be calculated in accordance with the Directors’ Compensation Policy. Any Account Earnings shall be credited to the Director’s Stock Unit Account in accordance with the Administration Provisions.

Vesting. A Director shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested at all times in his or her Stock Unit Account.

Distributions from Stock Unit Account. At the payment date applicable to the Stock Units described above (the “Payment Date”), each Stock Unit shall be converted into one share of Common Stock and the shares shall be distributed to the Director as follows:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) below, distribution shall be made in a lump sum within 30 days following the Payment Date. All Account Earnings accrued to the date of any distribution shall be included in the payment.

(b) If the Payment Date occurs by reason of the Director’s death, the lump sum distribution of shares of Common Stock shall be made in the following order: (i) to the Director’s beneficiary selected by the Director on a form provided by the Administrator; (ii) if there is no beneficiary designation effective at the Director’s death, to the Director’s surviving spouse; or (iii) if there is no beneficiary designation effective or surviving spouse at the Director’s death, to the Director’s estate or personal representative, in each case as soon as administratively feasible following the Director’s death, but in no event later than 90 days following the Director’s death, provided the recipient shall not have a right to designate the taxable year of the payment.

(c) Any fraction of a Stock Unit to be distributed shall be converted into an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of distribution, multiplied by such fraction, and the cash shall be distributed.

The Company, in its discretion, may maintain one or more trusts to hold assets to be used for payment of benefits under the Policy;provided, that the assets of such trust shall be subject to the creditors of the Company in the event that the Company becomes insolvent or is subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to amend the provisions of the Policy at any time in order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax under Section 409A on any payments deferred, accrued or to be made hereunder. In no event shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on a Director by Section 409A or for damages for failing to comply with Section 409A, other than for withholding or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may honor any transfer required pursuant to the terms of a court order in a divorce or similar domestic relations matter to the extent that such transfer does not adversely affect the Company’s ability to register the offer and sale of the underlying shares on a FormS-8 Registration Statement and such transfer is otherwise in compliance with all applicable legal, regulatory and listing requirements.
