Beneficiary designation. You may name a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive any Restricted Stock that is settled after you die. This may be done only on the attached Beneficiary Designation Form and by following the rules described in that form and in the Plan. If you have not made an effective Beneficiary designation, your Beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or, if you do not have a surviving spouse, your estate. Tax Withholding: Income taxes must be withheld when your Award is settled (see the Plan’s Prospectus for a discussion of the tax treatment of your Award). These taxes may be paid in one of several ways. They are: • The Company may withhold this amount from other amounts owed to you (e.g., from your salary). • You may pay these taxes by giving the Company a check (payable to “ABX Air, Inc.”) in an amount equal to the taxes that must be withheld. • By having the Company withhold a portion of the shares that otherwise would be distributed. The number of shares withheld will have a fair market value equal to the taxes that must be withheld. • You may give the Company other shares of Company stock (that you have owned for at least six months) with a value equal to the taxes that must be withheld. You may choose the approach you prefer, although the Company may reject your preferred method for any reason (or for no reason). If this happens, the Company will specify (from among the alternatives just listed) how these taxes are to be paid. If you do not choose a method within 30 days of the Settlement Date, the Company will withhold a portion of the shares that otherwise would be distributed. The number of shares withheld will have a fair market value equal to the taxes that must be withheld and the balance of the shares will be distributed to you.
