 Deferred Compensation Plan balances until the earlier of termination, retirement or death, except that with respect to employee contributions only a date-based distribution election may be made. |

| (5) | Each of the NEOs is fully vested in the aggregate balance of their respective accounts based upon their respective years of service. |

Deferred Compensation Plan All of the NEOs are eligible to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan may generally elect to defer up to 80% of eligible base compensation and 80% of eligible cash incentive compensation. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan receive a Company contribution consisting of additional amounts above the limits of the matching contributions under the Company’s 401(k) Plan. Vesting in the Company contributions and any associated earnings occurs after two years of service. The Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded plan, meaning that the participants’ accounts are bookkeeping entries only and do not entitle them to ownership of any actual assets. The accounts represent an unsecured promise by the Company to pay participants’ benefits in the future. Participants’ account balances are credited with earnings and investment gains and losses by assuming that the deferred amounts were invested in one or more investment funds made available by the Company from time to time under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The investment alternatives include funds with different degrees of risk. The investment alternatives for 2024 were based on funds which generally correspond to the investment funds made available under the Company’s 401(k) Plan. Generally, distributions under the Plan cannot be made until the earlier of termination, retirement or death, except that with respect to employee contributions only a date-based distribution election may be made. A distribution cannot begin until six months following termination or separation of service (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) for certain participants. Distributions are made in cash in a lump sum, annual installments over 2 to 10 years, and/or date specific elections (available for employee contributions only).
