Article II.              Terms And Conditions

The Implementation, Administrative and Trustee Services on the preceding pages are contingent upon the following tends:

1.                                      Required Documentation:  This Service Agreement may only be used in conjunction with the CORPORATEplan for Retirement Executive Plan (“CPR Executive”) and Trust Agreement (“Trust Agreement”) provided by Fidelity.  Fidelity’s provision of Administrative and trustee services under this Service Agreement shall be conditioned on the Employer delivering to the Trustee a copy of the executed CPR Executive Adoption Agreement and any amendments as soon as administratively feasible following the Plan’s or the amendment’s adoption.

2.                                      Data Submission:  The Employer or Plan Administrator will provide Fidelity on a timely basis with accurate and complete data via PSW.  As of the Implementation Date, the Employer or Plan Administrator must send Fidelity the following required data for each new or existing Participant: name, address, employment dates, employment status, status under the Plan as a Key Employee (if applicable), and initial investment elections.  After the Implementation Date, the Employer or Plan Administrator may only send Fidelity the aforementioned information for a new Participant or changes to the name, address, employment dates, employment status, or status as a Key Employee for an existing Participant.  The inclusion of an Employee in the information submitted to Fidelity shall constitute notice to Fidelity that such Employee has been made a participant in the Plan pursuant to Section 1.03 of the CPR Executive Adoption Agreement.  Investment election changes may only be made as provided in this Article II, Section Four.  Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses and/or expenses that arise due to the submission of incorrect or incomplete data, or data transmitted to Fidelity in an improper format.

3.                                      Services:  Fidelity will have the responsibility to perform only the services set forth in Articles I and II and Appendices A through E of this Agreement, effective as of the Implementation Date.  All other functions, including distributions to plan participants and any and all required tax reporting or withholding, except to the extent Fidelity has approved performing a distribution service as described in Appendix D, shall be the responsibility of the Employer and the Plan Administrator.

4.                                      Participant investment Direction:  If the Employer has selected participant direction for the treatment of the investment and reinvestment of contributions in the CPR Executive Adoption Agreement, the Trustee is directed to invest and reinvest such funds in a manner which corresponds directly to elections made by Participants.  Each Participant in the Plan shall submit his/her initial investment elections to the Employer or Plan Administrator.  These elections will then be submitted to Fidelity by the Employer or Plan Administrator in accordance with the terms set forth in Section One.  Thereafter, all subsequent investment elections for existing Participants may only be directed in accordance with this Section Four.  Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses and/or expenses that arise for clients who provide changes for existing Participant investment elections via PSW.

5



After his/her initial investment election, each Participant in the Plan shall be permitted to direct the investment of his/her individual account balance and investment of future contributions among the Permissible Investments as provided in, and subject to the provisions of, Appendix A to this Agreement through the use of Fidelity’s telephone exchange system or an internet or other electronically based exchange system.  The Employer hereby directs Fidelity to act upon such instructions without questioning the authenticity of such direction.

The number of exchanges from a Participant’s existing account balance will be governed by the mutual fund prospectus or other governing document for that investment, unless indicated otherwise in Appendix A or E.  Fidelity reserves the right to modify or withdraw the exchange privilege in the future.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including any Appendices, a proper exchange request received by Fidelity prior to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange shall be effective on that day.

A Participant shall be required to provide personal identification information prior to being given access to his/her accounts.  For security purposes, upon proper notice to Fidelity, the Employer may direct that a Participant using the telephone exchange system be required to respond to additional questions (e.g., date of birth, date of hire) before being able to access his/her accounts.  Only authorized Plan contact(s) and the Participant shall have access to a Participant’s account.  A third party may not have access to the Participant’s account or make exchanges of existing account balance and/or changes in the investment of future contributions.  Upon proper documentation and notice to the Employer, an individual who becomes an active Beneficiary in accordance with the Basic Plan Document due to the death of the Participant shall have the right to access the deceased Participant’s account for purposes of directing investments.  Fidelity reserves the right to establish a separate account for the Beneficiary based upon his/her entitlement to the deceased Participant’s account.

A Participant may not change his/her address through a telephone or internet exchange system.  All such changes must be submitted to the Employer.  The Employer shall then send such changes to Fidelity in the required format.

5.                                      Employer Investment Direction:  If Employer investment direction is chosen by the Employer, then all Participant accounts must be invested in Permissible Investments as provided in, and subject to the provisions of, Appendix A to this Agreement.  A Participant will not be allowed to make any telephone exchanges of his/her account balance.  The Employer may replace any existing Fidelity Fund(s) for another by providing Fidelity with proper written direction at least thirty days prior to the effective date of the change.  Fidelity will charge the Employer a reasonable additional fee to facilitate the replacement of the fund(s).

6.                                      Contributions:  The Employer will be responsible for determining Employee eligibility and for computing Employee and/or Employer contributions for eligible Participants.  The Employer shall provide contribution related information and make contributions to the Plan in the manner provided in Appendix C.  If the Employer desires to use a Participant’s interest in the Plan to pay that Participant’s employment taxes due on vested

6



accruals under the Plan, the Employer shall accomplish such payments by reducing contributions to the Trust and shall be solely responsible for all tax reporting consequences of that reduction.

7.                                      Distributions:  Unless Fidelity has approved the Plan for a different service as described in Appendix D, Fidelity shall disburse monies to the Employer for Participant benefit payments in the amounts the Employer directs.  Distributions to Participants or Beneficiaries shall be requested by the Employer in the method described within, and subject to the constraints of, Appendix D.

8.                                      Fees:  As consideration for its services under this Agreement, Fidelity shall be entitled to the fees computed in accordance with Articles I and II and any Appendices or amendments to this Agreement.  A reasonable additional fee will be charged if Fidelity has to reprocess any contribution data transmission due to excessive errors of the Employer or payroll vendor.  Additional services and special reports or statements may be provided if Fidelity and Employer enter into a separate written agreement identifying such services and the associated fees.  Fidelity shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its costs and expenses incurred in the event of termination of this Agreement.  However, Fidelity reserves the right to charge a termination fee equal to a full year of fees identified under Articles I and II in the event the Employer terminates its relationship with Fidelity within one year after the Implementation Date.

The implementation service fee in Article I will be billed during the implementation process.  The administrative and trustee fees in Article II will become effective as of the later of the Plan’s Effective Date in Section 1.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement or the Implementation Date.  These fees shall be billed in arrears to the Employer quarterly.

If payment of the aforementioned fees is not received by Fidelity within sixty days of receipt of Fidelity’s quarterly invoice, or the fees are to be paid by the Participants, then the fees shall be paid from the Trust fund.  Unless allocable to the accounts of particular Participants, such fees shall be charged against the respective accounts of all Participants on a per capita basis.

9.                                      Duration and Amendment:  This Agreement shall remain in effect for the remainder of the current calendar year and shall thereafter be automatically extended for successive one-year terms.  Either party, however, by sixty days prior written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement unless the receiving party agrees to a shorter notice period.  This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time and from time to time by an instrument executed by the parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fidelity reserves the right to (1) terminate this Agreement if the Employer terminates any other agreement the Employer has with Fidelity to provide recordkeeping services to a retirement plan and (2) amend unilaterally to update services and procedures or to revise the fee schedule upon sixty days prior written notice to the Employer.

10.                               Beneficiary Designation Forms:  The Employer or Plan Administrator will be responsible for physical custody of all Participant beneficiary designation forms.

7



11.                               Service Providers:  Fidelity Management Trust Company is the Trustee of the Employer’s Plan under CPR Executive.  Fidelity may use its affiliates in providing the services described in this Agreement.

12.                               Construction and Interpretation:  This Agreement shall be consumed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts except to the extent such laws are superseded by Section 514 of ERISA.  Unless defined herein or a different meaning is clearly required by the context, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust.

13.                               Reliance and Indemnification:  Fidelity may rely upon and act upon any writing or any other medium acceptable to Fidelity, including but not limited to electronic medium, from any person authorized by the Employer to give instructions concerning the Plan and may conclusively rely upon and be protected in acting upon any written or electronic order from the Employer or upon any other notice, request, consent, certificate, or other instructions or paper reasonably believed by it to have been executed by a duly authorized person, so long as it acts in good faith in taking or omitting to take any such action.  Fidelity need not inquire as to the basis in fact of any statement in writing received from the Employer.  Fidelity shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the information provided by the Employer in performance of its duties hereunder.  Unless resulting from Fidelity’s negligence or willful misconduct, the Employer shall indemnify and save harmless Fidelity from any and all liabilities and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees incurred or required to be paid by Fidelity in connection with the Plan.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and subject to the provisions of the attached Appendices to this Agreement, (i) any direction, notice or other communication provided to the Employer or Fidelity by another party required to be in writing by the Plan or this Service Agreement, (ii) any service provided under this Agreement requiring or utilizing written information, or (iii) any written communication or disclosure to Participants required by the Plan or this Service Agreement may be provided through any medium that is permitted under applicable law or regulation and, to the extent so allowed, will no longer require any writing to which reference is made in this Agreement.

2.                                       The basis-point-per-annum fee charged by Fidelity shall be computed and billed or charged in arrears quarterly based on the market value of Non-Fidelity Funds held in Participant Accounts on the last business day of the quarter.  In addition to the fees specified above, Fidelity shall be entitled to fees from the Fund Vendor as set forth in a separate agency agreement with the Fund Vendor.  Fidelity will make available appropriate information concerning the current provisions of such agreements electronically (currently through Plan Sponsor WebStation) for the Employer’s review.

3.                                       The Fund Vendor shall prepare and provide descriptive information on the funds for use by Fidelity in its written participant communication materials.  Fidelity shall utilize historical performance data obtained from third-party vendors in communications with plan participants.  The Employer hereby consents to Fidelity’s use of such materials and acknowledges that Fidelity is not responsible for the accuracy of such third-party information.

The Basis-point-per-annum fee has been waived on amounts invested in Non-Fidelity Funds.

Fidelity shall provide Enrollment and Education Services as provided in Article I and as outlined in this Appendix B.

1.                                      Enrollment and Educational Services

b.                                      Fidelity may from time to time produce communication materials and forms that the Employer may use regarding the Plan.  The Employer acknowledges that it is solely responsible for any such communication materials and/or forms, or modification thereof, ultimately distributed or otherwise used in connection with the Plan.

c.                                       Participants will receive account statements in the following manner:

Fidelity will mail Participant statements directly to Participants’ homes except for individual Participants who have indicated through Automated Channels (Fidelity Automated Retirement Benefits Line, NetBenefitsSM World Wide Web Internet service, or any other service subsequently employed by Fidelity to facilitate electronic plan administration) that they desire to receive statements only through Automated channels.



 

APPENDIX C — CONTRIBUTION PROCESSING

Fidelity shall provide contribution processing services as provided in Article I and as outlined in this Appendix C.  Contributions are subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

1.                                       The Employer shall be responsible for calculating and effecting Participant and Employer contributions to the Plan and transmitting such contributions and associated contribution data to Fidelity within legal time limits.

2.                                       The Employer must consolidate all contribution data for multiple payroll cycles and/or multiple sites into one transmission.  Contribution data shall be received by Fidelity via Plan Sponsor Webstation (“PSW”), or other medium permitted by Fidelity, in the manner specified.  The Employer’s computer system must meet certain minimum specifications to enable this service.

3.                                       Following the receipt of contribution data in good order (as determined by Fidelity) Fidelity shall, through Automated Clearing House (“ACH”), request an electronic funds transfer from the account the Employer has specified in the Service Setup Form.  Contributions received in good order will be credited to Participants’ accounts on the business day they are received, if received prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange’s business day.

4.                                       Notwithstanding section 3 contained herein, Fidelity may allow the Employer to wire transfer contributions according to instructions provided by Fidelity conditioned that the contribution data is reviewed by a Fidelity representative prior to the initiation of the transfer.  Fidelity reserves the right to require Employers to wire transfer all contributions if an ACH transfer is rejected.  Unsolicited or improperly formatted transfers may not be invested until properly identified and reconciled.

5.                                       In the event that Fidelity, or any of its affiliates, provides tools or services to assist the Employer with the calculation of the Matching Employer and/or Employer Contributions, Fidelity does not represent, warrant, guarantee or certify that such calculations are accurate.  The Employer agrees that Fidelity has no responsibility for any such calculations.



 

APPENDIX D — DISTRIBUTION PROCESSING

1.                                      Distributions for benefit payments will be processed once a month based upon a mutually acceptable date determined immediately after the implementation period by Fidelity and the Plan Administrator.  Distributions will only be processed if there is complete, accurate and properly authorized data received by Fidelity in the required media.  All distribution requests received after the monthly cutoff date will be processed the following month.  The monthly withdrawal date may be changed once each Plan Year based upon the written consent of Fidelity and the Employer.  Fidelity shall not be responsible for:  (i) making benefit payments to Participants under the Plan, (ii) any Federal, State or local income tax reporting or withholding with respect to such Plan benefits, and (iii) FICA (Social Security and Medicare) or any Federal or State unemployment tax with respect to Plan distributions.

2.                                      Class Year Accounting (CYA).  The Employer has elected CYA in its CPR Executive Plan and Fidelity hereby agrees to track specific contribution years in which contributions paid to the Trust will be distributed to the Participants.  The Employer agrees that this will be tracked electronically and that the Participants will make their elections for distributions through the NetBenefitsSM website or any other application subsequently utilized by Fidelity for that purpose (“NetBenefitsSM”.  The Employer understands that Fidelity will only track as part of the contributions constituting one class year those contributions actually received into the Trust by Fidelity during the calendar year.  A Participant may not elect to defer a subsequent calendar year’s deferrals for a period of less than 12 months from the first day of the calendar year in which such deferrals would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.  Notwithstanding the Employer having elected this CYA provision, all distributions for benefit payments will be paid in accordance with the distribution provisions provided in Section 1 of this Appendix D, except that distributions will be paid on the date established within Fidelity’s electronic tracking system.

CHICAGO BOARD OPTIONS EXCHANGE
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

AMENDMENT TO THE ADOPTION AGREEMENT
AND BASIC PLAN DOCUMENT

This Amendment, which is effective February 16, 2005, is an integral part of the Fidelity Corporate Plan for Retirement Executive Plan as adopted by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (“Employer”) in establishing the Chicago Board Options Exchange Supplemental Retirement Plan (“Plan”).  The provisions set forth in this attachment shall be applicable with respect to the Plan as adopted by the Employer notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Basic Plan Document or the Adoption Agreement to the contrary.  The execution of the Adoption Agreement by the Employer is only valid with the inclusion of the provisions set forth below.

ADOPTION AGREEMENT

1.                                       Section 1.03(a)(1) – Coverage.  All Employees earning over the compensation limitation set forth in Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as adjusted from time to time, are eligible to participate in the Plan.  In addition, all Employees described in paragraph 4 are eligible to participate in the Plan to the extent set forth in said paragraph.  Individuals performing services on a consulting, contract or self-employed basis shall not be eligible to participate.

2.                                       Section 1.05 –Contributions.  A Participant may elect to make deferral contributions, pursuant to § 1.05(a) of the Adoption Agreement, in an amount or percentage of his or her Compensation for any Plan Year in excess of $210,000.  Deferral contributions with respect to Compensation amounts below $210,000 may be made only under the Chicago Board Options Exchange Smart Plan.

Deferrals of Compensation shall be made pursuant to election forms filed with the Employer in writing, or by other means prescribed by the Employer, no later than the close of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the services related to such Compensation are performed.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however:

(a)                                  In the first calendar year in which an Employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, an election to defer Compensation may be made with respect to services to be performed subsequent to the delivery of an election form within 30 days after the date the Employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.

(b)                                 An election to defer a performance-based bonus, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and guidance issued thereunder, may be made no later than six months before the end of the 12 month performance period during which the services related to the bonus are performed.

The Company will make a matching contribution to the Plan as set forth in § 1.05(b) of the Adoption Agreement based upon the amount of each Participant’s deferral contributions made under the Plan; provided that such matching contribution will be based only on the



Participant’s deferral contributions that relate to his Compensation in excess of $210,000.  Compensation for purposes of § 1.05 shall have the meaning set forth in § 1.04.  The $210,000 amount referred to above shall be adjusted periodically to reflect cost of living increases at the same time and in the same manner as such amount is adjusted under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17), or any successor section.  Deferral contributions shall be in whole or decimal percentages as designated by a Participant in his or her election form.  The Deferral contribution for the period commencing February 16, 2005 and ending on December 31, 2005 shall not exceed 13% of Compensation in excess of $210,000 for calendar year 2005.

3.                                       Section 1.05(b)(2) – Matching Contributions.  Notwithstanding the matching contribution described in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer shall make a matching contribution and/or a profit sharing contribution to the Plan for a Plan Year for any Participant (regardless of the amount of his or her Compensation for such Plan Year) who elects to defer earnings otherwise payable to him or her in such Plan Year pursuant to the terms of the Chicago Board Option Exchange Deferred Compensation Plan for Officers, and as a result thereof receives a reduced matching contribution and/or a reduced profit sharing contribution for such Plan Year pursuant to the terms of the Chicago Board Options Exchange Smart Plan.  The amount of the matching contribution and/or a profit sharing contribution made by the Employer to the Plan for a Participant pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence shall equal the amount by which the matching contribution and/or profit sharing contribution made for him or her for the applicable Plan Year pursuant to the terms of the Chicago Board Options Exchange Smart Plan is reduced as a result of a deferral of earnings made pursuant to the terms of the Chicago Board Options Exchange Deferred Compensation Plan for Officers.  A matching contribution and/or a profit sharing contribution made for a Participant pursuant to this paragraph shall be in addition to any matching contribution, if any, made for him or her for the applicable Plan Year pursuant to the Adoption Agreement.

4.                                       Section 1.05(c)(2) – Discretionary Employer Contributions.  The Employer may from time to time, in its sole discretion, make an additional discretionary contribution for some or all Participants.

5.                                       Section 1.06(b) – Distribution Dates.  Each election form delivered to the Employer with respect to a calendar year shall specify the date on which the applicable contributions and earnings thereon shall be distributed.  Such date shall be the first to occur of (1) the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Employer; and (2) a date selected by the Participant, provided that a selected date must be at least one year after the date of the election.  Any distribution described in clause (1) shall be made as soon as practicable following the date of termination with the Employer; provided, however, that in no event will distribution begin earlier than the first day of the seventh calendar month following termination if the Participant was a Key Employee.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if elected by the Participant on his or her initial election form, distribution of a Participant’s entire interest in the Plan shall be made as soon as practicable after the date of consummation of a Change of Control in accordance with Plan Section 7.08; provided, however, that a Change of Control shall not include:

2



(a)                                  any change in form of organization of the Employer from a non-stock entity to a stock corporation, or

(b)                                 any public offering of the Employer’s shares of stock after it becomes a stock corporation.

If the Participant fails to make an election, a change of control distribution will not be made to the Participant.

6.                                       Section 1.07(d) – Forfeiture.  Notwithstanding the vesting schedules set forth in Sections 1.07(a) and (b), if the employment of any Participant, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Employer, shall be terminated by the Employer for Cause, the Matching Contributions and Discretionary Employer Contributions credited to the Account of the Participant shall be forfeited, and no amount shall be payable to or with respect to the Participant pursuant to the terms of the Plan.  For purposes of this Section, Cause shall be deemed to exist if, and only if:

(a)                                  A Participant shall engage, during the performance of his or her duties for the Employer, in acts or omissions constituting dishonesty, intentional breach of fiduciary obligation, or intentional wrongdoing or malfeasance;

(b)                                 A Participant shall intentionally disobey or disregard a lawful and proper direction of the Board of Directors; or

(c)                                  A Participant shall materially breach an employment agreement entered into between the Participant and the Employer and such breach by its nature is incapable of being cured, or such breach remains uncured for more than 30 days following receipt by the Participant of written notice from the Employer specifying the nature of the breach and demanding the cure thereof.  For purposes of this clause (c), a material breach of any such employment agreement that involves inattention by the Participant to his or her duties under the employment agreement shall be deemed a breach capable of cure.

The following shall not constitute Cause:

(a)                                  Any personal or policy disagreement between a Participant and the Employer, or any member of the Employer or of the Board of Directors, or

(b)                                 Any action taken by a Participant in connection with his or her duties for the Employer, or any failure to act, if the Participant acted or failed to act in good faith, and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interest of the Employer, and he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

7.                                       Section 1.07(e) – Full Vesting.  In addition to the events indicated under Section 1.07(e), a Participant will be fully vested in his or her Account in the event of the termination of the Plan.

3



8.                                       Section 1.07(h) – Definition of Disabled.  A Participant is considered disabled when that Participant (1) has been approved for long-term disability benefits by the long-term disability insurance provider of the Employer and has been receiving long-term disability benefits for a period of at least six months, or (2) becomes entitled to receive a Disability Insurance Benefit under the Social Security Act.

9.                                       Section 1.10 – Distributions.  A distribution to a Participant pursuant to the Plan shall be made to him or her in a single lump sum, unless the Participant, in the initial election form filed with the Employer with respect to the amount being distributed, indicated an election to be paid in annual installments over a period of 10 or fewer years, as designated by the Participant.  If payments are made in installments, the unpaid portion of the Participant’s interest in the Plan from time to time shall continue to be adjusted to reflect earnings, gains and losses thereon.

If a Participant’s employment with the Employer terminates due to death, his or her entire interest in the Plan shall be paid in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after death to his or her beneficiary most recently designated by him or her prior to the date of death.  Each Participant from time to time, pursuant to a beneficiary designation form furnished by the Employer, may designate any legal or natural person or persons (who may be designated contingently or successively) to whom his or her Account is to be paid if he or she dies before receiving the entire balance thereof.  A beneficiary designation shall be effective only when the executed beneficiary form is delivered to the Employer in writing or by other method prescribed by the Employer while the Participant is alive and will cancel all beneficiary designation forms delivered earlier.  If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary prior to his or her death, or if all designated beneficiaries predecease the Participant, his or her interest in the Plan shall be paid to his or her surviving spouse, or if none, to his or her lawful descendants, per stirpes, or if none survive him or her, to the legally appointed representatives of his or her estate, or if none are appointed within six months after the date of his or her death, to his or her heirs at law under the laws of descent and distribution of the state in which the Participant is domiciled at the date of death.

A Participant may subsequently change the time or form of distribution of a deferral contribution elected by him or her in an election form if (1) the new election constitutes a delay in payment or change in the form of payment from a lump sum to annual installments or to a longer period of annual installments, (2) such election does not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made, (3) the first payment with respect to which such election is made is deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made, and (4) any election related to a payment to be made at a specified date is made at least 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment.

BASIC PLAN DOCUMENT

10.                                 Section 9.02 – Retroactive Amendments – An amendment made by the Employer in accordance with Section 9.01 may be made effective on a date prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which it is adopted, provided that no such amendment shall adversely affect the interest of any Participant in the Plan.

11.                                 Section 11.02 – This provision shall not apply.

ADOPTION AGREEMENT

Section 1.05 –Contributions.  A Participant may elect to make deferral contributions, pursuant to § 1.05(a) of the Adoption Agreement, in an amount or percentage of his or her Compensation for any Plan Year in excess of $210,000.  Deferral contributions with respect to Compensation amounts below $210,000 may be made only under the Chicago Board Options Exchange Smart Plan.

Deferrals of Compensation shall be made pursuant to election forms filed with the Employer in writing, or by other means prescribed by the Employer, no later than the close of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the services related to such Compensation are performed.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however:
