This Election and the provisions of my Restricted Share Award and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between me and the Company regarding this matter, and will continue in full force and effect until and unless I execute a superseding distribution election pursuant to Section 8(c)(ii) of the Plan.

4. Performance Shares being Deferred. I hereby elect to defer the receipt of percent ( %) of the Restricted Shares that would otherwise be transferred to me more than 12 months after the date of this deferral election (or upon my earlier death). I understand and recognize that pursuant to this Election, the Company agrees to credit me on its books and records with Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 8 of the Plan. Notwithstanding this deferral election, whenever the Company pays cash dividends to its shareholders, I elect with respect to any DSUs credited pursuant to this Agreement and any Restricted Shares subject to further vesting –
