(a) Subject to applicable law, receipt of the payment of all or any portion of the Stock Units shall be deferred until the date on which the Participant incurs a Separation from Service, as defined in clause (c) below, if the Participant has filed a deferral election, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 7(b), no later than the deadline described in Paragraph 7(b). Any such election shall likewise apply to the Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to such deferred Stock Units. Deferred Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to a cash account with respect to the Stock Units (“Cash Account”) maintained by Northern on its books in the name of the Participant. Until the entire balance of a Cash Account has been paid to the Participant or to the Participant’s Beneficiaries (as defined in Paragraph 6), such balance shall be adjusted on the last day of each calendar quarter to reflect accrued interest on such balance based on the rate of interest determined from time to time by the Committee.
