An Account established for a Participant in connection with the deferral of an award otherwise payable in shares of Stock shall be denominated in Stock units (each representing a share of Stock). An Account described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be equitably adjusted by the Plan Administrator to reflect any stock dividends, stock splits or combinations of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalizations or other changes in the Corporation’s capital structure, and shall be adjusted in connection with the payment of any dividend or other distribution on the Stock to reflect the notional (hypothetical) reinvestment of the amount of the dividend or distribution in additional shares of Stock, such additional shares being treated thereafter (including with respect to subsequent dividends and distributions) in the same manner as the shares initially deferred. Any notional reinvestment shall be deemed to have been Information Classification: Limited Access - 4 -
made using the closing price of the Stock on the date the dividend or other distribution was paid. (b) Cash deferrals. All Accounts not described in Section 3.4(a) shall be adjusted for notional (hypothetical) investment experience as described in this Section 3.4(b). The Plan Administrator shall designate for purposes of the Plan one or more investment alternatives (each, a “tracking option”), including, if the Plan Administrator so determines, a tracking option that offers a return of notional interest and including, solely with respect to Plan Years commencing prior to January 1, 2013, a tracking option notionally invested in shares of Stock. Each Participant shall have the opportunity to allocate Accounts not described in Section 3.4(a) and/or additional cash deferrals among the available tracking options. Amounts allocated under the Plan to a tracking option shall be treated as notionally invested in that tracking option. In the absence of an affirmative allocation by a Participant, the Plan Administrator may designate a default tracking option and treat the Accounts and/or deferrals (or such portions thereof as shall not have been affirmatively allocated) as being notionally invested in the default tracking option. The Plan Administrator shall periodically adjust Accounts to reflect increases or decreases attributable to these notional investments, and with respect to any Account invested in a tracking option notionally invested in Stock, shall also adjust such Account in the manner described in Section 3.4(a). Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and subject to such rules as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, a Participant may make notional investment changes at any time with respect to existing deferrals and/or future deferrals. The Plan Administrator may, at the direction of the Board, at any time and from time to time, eliminate or add tracking options or substitute a new for an existing tracking option, including with respect to balances already notionally invested under the Plan. The Corporation may, but need not, purchase securities or other investments with characteristics similar to the tracking options from time to time offered under the Plan, but any such securities or other investments shall remain part of the Corporation’s general assets. 3.5 Miscellaneous. The Plan Administrator shall maintain such records and prepare such reports as it considers necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Plan. In addition to the adjustments to Accounts referred to in Section 3.4 above, the Plan Administrator shall increase each Account to reflect additional deferrals and shall decrease the Account to reflect distributions.

4.1 Vesting of Accounts. All Accounts are fully vested at all times. However, the fact that an Account is fully vested shall not give a Participant or Beneficiary or any other person any right to receive the value of such Account except in accordance with the terms of the Plan. ARTICLE V PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS 5.1 Time of Payment; In General. Each Participant shall elect, not later than the date of each Deferred Compensation Agreement entered into, for the portion of his or her Accounts under the Plan attributable to the Compensation so deferred is to be paid, or commence to be paid, in accordance with Section 5.2 below, either: (a) at Separation from Service whenever occurring, or (b) at the earlier or (i) a specified date not earlier than the date five years after the effective date of such Deferred Compensation Agreement or (ii) Separation from Service (for Plan Years commencing prior to January 1, 2013, limited to a specified date not earlier than the date five years after the effective date of such Deferred Compensation Agreement).

Where payment is to be made in installments, the amount of each installment shall be determined by dividing the total amount standing to the Participant’s credit under each Account that is subject to the election immediately prior to the installment by the number of installments remaining to be paid. In the absence of an affirmative election, a Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive a single payment. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant must make the same election for all Deferred Compensation Agreements entered into with respect to Compensation earned in the same Plan Year. (ii) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(b)(i) hereof, with respect to elections applicable to Plan Years commencing prior to January 1, 2013, payment of all or a portion a Participant’s Accounts shall be made in a single payment or in annual installments over a period of two to 10 years as elected by means of the respective Deferred Compensation Agreement.

In the absence of an affirmative election, a Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive a single payment. Information Classification: Limited Access - 7 -
