Compensation Deferrals Other Than Performance. Based Bonus Deferrals Each Plan Year, an Eligible Individual may elect to defer receipt of no less than the minimum and no greater than the maximum percentage or amount selected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement with respect to each type of Compensation (other than Performance-Based Bonuses) earned with respect to pay periods beginning on and after the effective date of the election; provided, however, that Compensation earned prior to the date the Participant satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 3 shall not be eligible for deferral under this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a Participant’s Deferral Election for a Plan Year under this subsection must be made not later than December 31 of the preceding Plan Year (or such earlier date as determined by the Administrator) with respect to Compensation (other than Performance-Based Bonuses) earned in pay periods beginning on or after the following January 1 in accordance with rules established by the Administrator. An election to defer restricted stock units (RSUs) into the Plan must be made by one of the following deadlines: (i) the end of the calendar year prior to the date of grant of the RSU; (ii) 12 months before the payment date of the RSU (vesting date is treated as the payment date for these purposes), but the election will not take effect for 12 months, and the subsequent payout date must be at least five years later than the original payment date); (iii) within 30 days of the date of grant (but only if the RSU is structured so that vesting is contingent on the Participant performing services for at least an additional 12 months); or (iv) within 6 months of the payment (vesting) date, but only if the RSU is performance-based under Code Section 409A, and only if the performance period must be at least 12 months long and either: (a) the amount of the compensation cannot be reasonably ascertained at the time of the election, or (b) the performance requirement is still not substantially certain to be met at the time of the election. If the Employer allows for deferral of RSUs structured so that a specified portion of the RSU grant vests periodically (for example, an RSU grant over a four-year period vesting 25% annually), then the election to defer may be made separately with respect to each portion of the grant that vests in a given year, if permitted by the Employer. However, each election for each portion of the grant must be made either: (i) within thirty days of the date of grant or each anniversary thereof, and only if the RSU is structured so that vesting is contingent on the employee performing services for at least an additional 12 months subsequent to the election; or (ii) 12 months before the payment date of the RSU (vesting date is treated as the payment date for these purposes), but the election will not take effect for 12 months, and the subsequent payout date must be at least five years later than the previous payment date. An Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider who first becomes an Eligible Individual during a Plan Year (by virtue of a promotion, Compensation increase, commencement of employment with the Employer, commencement of Board service, execution of an agreement to provide services to an Employer, or any other reason) shall be provided enrollment documents (including Deferral Election forms) as soon as administratively feasible following such initial notification of eligibility. Such Eligible Individual must make his Deferral Elections within 30 days after first becoming an Eligible Individual, with respect to his Compensation (other than Performance-Based Bonuses) earned on or after the effective date of the Deferral Election (provided, however, that if such Eligible Individual is participating in any other account balance plan maintained by the Employer or any member of the Employer’s “controlled group” (as defined in subsections 414(b) and (c) of the Code), such Eligible Individual must make his Compensation Deferral Election no later than December 31 of the preceding Plan Year (or such earlier date as determined by the Administrator), or he may not elect to make Compensation Deferrals for that initial Plan Year). If an Eligible Individual does not elect to make Compensation Deferrals during that initial 30-day period, he may not later elect to make Compensation Deferrals for that year under this subsection. In the event that an Eligible Individual first becomes eligible during a Plan Year with respect to which Fiscal Year Compensation is payable, such Eligible Individual must make his Fiscal Year Compensation Deferral Election on or before the end of the fiscal year of the Employer immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which any services are performed for which the Fiscal Year Compensation is payable. In the case of an Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider who is rehired (or who recommences Board Service or recommences providing services to an Employer as an Other Service Provider) after having previously been an Eligible Individual, the phrase “first becomes an Eligible Individual” in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be interpreted to apply only where the Eligible Individual either (i) previously received payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, or (ii) did not previously receive payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, but is rehired (or recommences Board Service or recommences providing services to an Employer as an Other Service Provider) at least 24 months after his last day as a previously Eligible Individual prior to again becoming such an Eligible Individual. In all other cases such rehired Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider may not elect to make Compensation Deferrals until the next date determined by the Administrator with respect to Compensation earned after the following January 1. Similarly, in the case of an Employee who recommences status as an Eligible Individual for any other reason after having previously lost his status as an Eligible Individual (due to Compensation fluctuations, transfer from an ineligible location or job classification, or otherwise), the phrase “first becomes an Eligible Individual” shall be interpreted to apply only where the Eligible Individual either: (i) previously received payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, or (ii) did not previously receive payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, but regains his status as an Eligible Individual at least 24 months after his last day as a previously Eligible Individual prior to again becoming such an Eligible Individual. In all other cases such Re-Eligible Participant may not elect to make Compensation Deferrals until the next date determined by the Administrator with respect to Compensation earned after the following January 1. An election to make Compensation Deferrals under this subsection 4.1 shall remain in effect through the last pay period commencing in the calendar year to which the election applies (except as provided in subsections 2.9 or 4.5), shall apply with respect to the applicable type of Compensation (other than Performance-Based Bonuses) to which the Deferral Election relates earned for pay periods commencing in the applicable calendar year to which the election applies, and shall be irrevocable (provided, however, that a Participant making a Deferral Election under this subsection may change his election at any time prior to December 31 of the year preceding the year for which the Deferral Election is applicable, subject to rules established by the Administrator). If a Participant fails to make a Compensation Deferral election for a given Plan Year, such Participant’s Compensation Deferral Election for that Plan Year shall be deemed to be zero; provided, however, that if the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement that a Participant’s Compensation Deferral Election shall be “evergreen”, then such Participant’s Compensation Deferral Election shall be deemed to be identical to the most recent applicable Deferral Election on file with the Administrator with respect to the applicable type of Compensation; provided, however, that no In-Service Distribution shall be applicable to any amounts deferred in a year in which the Participant fails to make an affirmative election, and payment of such amounts for such year shall be made in accordance with his most recent election on file with the Administrator (if no election is on file, then such amounts shall be paid to him in a single lump sum). Compensation Deferrals shall be credited to the Participant’s Compensation Deferral Account as soon as administratively feasible after such amounts would have been payable to the Participant.

In the case of an Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider who is rehired (or who recommences Board Service or recommences providing services to an Employer as an Other Service Provider) after having previously been an Eligible Individual, the phrase “first becomes an Eligible Individual” in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be interpreted to apply only where the Eligible Individual either (i) previously received payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, or (ii) did not previously receive payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, but is rehired (or recommences Board Service or recommences providing services to an Employer as an Other Service Provider) at least 24 months after his last day as a previously Eligible Individual prior to again becoming such an Eligible Individual. In all other cases such rehired Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider may not elect to make Compensation Deferrals until the next date determined by the Administrator with respect to Compensation earned after the following January 1. Similarly, in the case of an Employee who recommences status as an Eligible Individual for any other reason after having previously lost his status as an Eligible Individual (due to Compensation fluctuations, transfer from an ineligible location or job classification, or otherwise), the phrase “first becomes an Eligible Individual” shall be interpreted to apply only where the Eligible Individual either: (i) previously received payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, or (ii) did not previously receive payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, but regains his status as an Eligible Individual at least 24 months after his last day as a previously Eligible Individual prior to again becoming such an Eligible Individual. In all other cases such Re-Eligible Participant may not elect to make Compensation Deferrals until the next date determined by the Administrator with respect to Compensation earned after the following January 1. An election to make Compensation Deferrals under this subsection 4.1 shall remain in effect through the last pay period commencing in the calendar year to which the election applies (except as provided in subsections 2.9 or subsection 4.5), shall apply with respect to the applicable type of Compensation (other than Performance-Based Bonuses) to which the Deferral Election relates earned for pay periods commencing in the applicable calendar year to which the election applies, and shall be irrevocable (provided, however, that a Participant making a Deferral Election under this subsection may change his election at any time prior to December 31 of the year preceding the year for which the Deferral Election is applicable, subject to rules established by the Plan Administrator). If a Participant fails to make a Compensation Deferral election for a given Plan Year, such Participant’s Compensation Deferral Election for that Plan Year shall be deemed to be zero; provided, however, that if the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement that a Participant’s Compensation Deferral Election shall be “evergreen”, then such Participant’s Compensation Deferral Election shall be deemed to be identical to the most recent applicable Deferral Election on file with the Administrator with respect to the applicable type of Compensation; provided, however, that no In-Service Distribution shall be applicable to any amounts deferred in a year in which the Participant fails to make an affirmative election, and payment of such amounts for such year shall be made in accordance with his most recent election on file with the Administrator (if no election is on file, then such amounts shall be paid to him in a single lump sum). With respect to “401(k) Refund” and “401(k) Continuation Compensation” deferrals, a Participant’s action or inaction under the 401(k) Plan, including an adjustment to a deferral election under such qualified plan, will not be treated as either a deferral election or an acceleration of a payment under this Plan, provided that for any given calendar year, the Participant’s actions or inactions under the 401(k) Plan do not result in an increase in the amounts deferred under all nonqualified deferred compensation plans in which the Participant participates in excess of the limit with respect to elective deferrals under 402(g) in effect for the calendar year in which such actions or inactions occur. Compensation Deferrals shall be credited to the Participant’s Compensation Deferral Account as soon as administratively feasible after such amounts would have been payable to the Participant.

Compensation Deferrals Other Than Performance. Based Bonus Deferrals Each Plan Year, an Eligible Individual may elect to defer receipt of no less than the minimum and no greater than the maximum percentage or amount selected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement with respect to each type of Compensation (other than Performance-Based Bonuses) earned with respect to pay periods beginning on and after the effective date of the election; provided, however, that Compensation earned prior to the date the Participant satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 3 shall not be eligible for deferral under this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a Participant’s Deferral Election for a Plan Year under this subsection must be made not later than December 31 of the preceding Plan Year (or such #128470046 v1 earlier date as determined by the Administrator) with respect to Compensation (other than Performance-Based Bonuses) earned in pay periods beginning on or after the following January 1 in accordance with rules established by the Administrator. An election to defer restricted stock units (RSUs) into the Plan must be made by one of the following deadlines: (i) the end of the calendar year prior to the date of grant of the RSU; (ii) 12 months before the payment date of the RSU (vesting date is treated as the payment date for these purposes), but the election will not take effect for 12 months, and the subsequent payout date must be at least five years later than the original payment date); (iii) within 30 days of the date of grant (but only if the RSU is structured so that vesting is contingent on the Participant performing services for at least an additional 12 months); or (iv) within 6 months of the payment (vesting) date, but only if the RSU is performance-based under Code Section 409A, and only if the performance period must be at least 12 months long and either: (a) the amount of the compensation cannot be reasonably ascertained at the time of the election, or (b) the performance requirement is still not substantially certain to be met at the time of the election. If the Employer allows for deferral of RSUs structured so that a specified portion of the RSU grant vests periodically (for example, an RSU grant over a four-year period vesting 25% annually), then the election to defer may be made separately with respect to each portion of the grant that vests in a given year, if permitted by the Employer. However, each election for each portion of the grant must be made either: (i) within thirty days of the date of grant or each anniversary thereof, and only if the RSU is structured so that vesting is contingent on the employee performing services for at least an additional 12 months subsequent to the election; or (ii) 12 months before the payment date of the RSU (vesting date is treated as the payment date for these purposes), but the election will not take effect for 12 months, and the subsequent payout date must be at least five years later than the previous payment date. An Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider who first becomes an Eligible Individual during a Plan Year (by virtue of a promotion, Compensation increase, commencement of employment with the Employer, commencement of Board service, execution of an agreement to provide services to an Employer, or any other reason) shall be provided enrollment documents (including Deferral Election forms) as soon as administratively feasible following such initial notification of eligibility. Such Eligible Individual must make his Deferral Elections within 30 days after first becoming an Eligible Individual, with respect to his Compensation (other than Performance-Based Bonuses) earned on or after the effective date of the Deferral Election (provided, however, that if such Eligible Individual is participating in any other account balance plan maintained by the Employer or any member of the Employer’s “controlled group” (as defined in subsections 414(b) and (c) of the Code), such Eligible Individual must make his Compensation Deferral Election no later than December 31 of the preceding Plan Year (or such earlier date as determined by the Administrator), or he may not elect to make Compensation Deferrals for that initial Plan Year). If an Eligible Individual does not elect to make Compensation Deferrals during that initial 30-day period, he may not later elect to make Compensation Deferrals for that year under this subsection. In the event that an Eligible Individual first becomes eligible during a Plan Year with respect to which Fiscal Year Compensation is payable, such Eligible Individual must make his Fiscal Year Compensation Deferral Election on or before the end of the fiscal year of the Employer immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which any services are performed for which the Fiscal Year Compensation is payable.
