(v) In the event that a Participant ceases to serve as a member of the Board for
any reason, all Stock Units held by such Participant at the time of such
cessation that have not yet become vested shall be immediately forfeited;
provided, however, that in the event of the Participant’s disability (as such
term if defined in Section 22(e) of the Code) or death, the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any unvested Stock Units then
held by such Participant.

Grant Date then held in Participant’s Deferral Account.

(iii) In the event that a Participant ceases to serve as a member of the Board

Stock Units pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall, within thirty
(30) days following such cessation, subject to Section 16 of the Plan, issue to
the Participant a number of Common Shares equal to the number of vested Stock
Units subject to each such award held in the Participant’s Deferral Account at
the time of such cessation.

  6.   Deferred Compensation  

(a) Contributions to Deferral Accounts. Pursuant to Section 5(e)(i) of this
Independent Directors Plan, on each Grant Date the Stock Units awarded to a
Participant pursuant to Section 5 of this Independent Directors Plan shall be
automatically credited to the applicable Participant’s Deferral Account.

(b) Distributions.

(i) Distribution Elections. Prior to each Grant Date, each Independent Director
who is eligible to receive an award of Stock Units pursuant to Section 5 of this
Independent Directors Plan shall be required to complete and submit to the
Committee an election on a form provided by the Company (a “Distribution
Election Form”) as to the timing and form of distributions from his or her
Deferral Account with respect to amounts attributable to the Stock Units awarded
on such Grant Date. If no valid distribution election is made with respect to an
award of Stock Units, the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Account that is
attributable such award shall be distributed, subject to Section 5(e)(iii) of
this Independent Directors Plan, in the form of a lump sum payment on the third
anniversary of the Grant Date of such award.

(ii) Scheduled In-Service Distributions.

(1) Lump Sum or Installment Payments. A Participant may elect on a Distribution
Election Form to receive distributions from the vested portion of his or her
Deferral Account while he or she is still a member of the Board (an “In-Service
Distribution”) in (A) a single lump sum payment, or (B) annual installment
payments over a period of five (5) or ten (10) years, with the amount of each
payment determined as set forth in Section 6(b)(viii) of this Independent
Directors Plan. If the amount a Participant elects to receive pursuant to an
In-Service Distribution is less than $     , payment shall be made in a single
lump sum. If a Participant elects to receive installment payments under
(B) above, the amount of each installment payment shall be equal to the balance
remaining in the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Account that is subject
to such installment election (as determined immediately prior to each such
payment), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one (1), and the
denominator of which is the total number of remaining installment payments. The
installment amount shall be adjusted annually to reflect gains and losses, if
any, allocated to such Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to
Section 6(c)(ii).

(2) Time of Distributions. A Participant’s election under this Section 6(b)(ii)
must specify the future year in which the payment of the deferred amounts shall
commence, provided that the year in which an In-Service Distribution of amounts
attributable to an award of Stock Units is to commence must be at least three
(3) years after the Grant Date of such award.

(3) Separate Annual Elections. Any desired In-Service Distribution must be
separately elected for each Stock Unit award. Thus, to elect a scheduled
In-Service Distribution with respect to a specific Plan Year’s Stock Units, a
new Distribution Election Form must be submitted during the applicable election
period. Once the applicable election period has passed, an In-Service
Distribution may not be elected for that Plan Year’s award.

(4) Amendment of Election. A Participant may delay the commencement of an
In-Service Distribution or amend his or her election as to the form of the
distribution at any time provided that (A) such amendment must be made in the
manner specified by the Committee at least one (1) calendar year prior to the
date the distribution would otherwise commence, (B) the amendment will not take
effect until at least one (1) calendar year after the amendment is submitted,
and (C) the amendment provides for the deferral of the date of payments commence
for a minimum of five (5) additional years. For purposes of the limitation set
forth clause (C) of the preceding sentence, distributions that are to be paid in
installments (as opposed to in a lump sum) shall be treated as a single payment
payable on the date the installments are due to commence. Any change in the form
or timing of payment may not accelerate distributions to the Participant, except
to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of
the additional tax set forth in Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

(5) Termination of Board Service Prior to Completion of In-Service Distribution.
If a Participant’s Board service with the Company terminates for any reason
prior to receiving full payment of an In-Service Distribution or while he or she
is receiving scheduled installment payments pursuant to this Section 6(b)(ii),
the unpaid portion of the Participant’s elected distribution shall be paid in
accordance with Section 6(b)(iii) below.

(iii) Distributions upon Termination of Board Service for Reasons Other Than
Death.

(1) Lump Sum or Installment Payments. As an alternative to electing an
In-Service Distribution under Section 6(b)(ii) of this Independent Directors
Plan, a Participant may elect on a Distribution Election Form to receive the
vested balance credited to his or her Deferral Account following termination of
Board service for any reason other than death in (A) a single lump sum payment,
or (B) annual installment payments over a period of five (5) or ten (10) years,
with the amount of each payment determined as set forth in Section 6(b)(viii) of
this Independent Directors Plan. If the amount a Participant elects to receive
pursuant to an In-Service Distribution is less than $     , payment shall be
made in a single lump sum. If a Participant elects to receive installment
payments under (B) above, the amount of each installment payment shall be equal
to the balance remaining in the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Account
that is subject to such installment election (as determined immediately prior to
each such payment), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one (1),
and the denominator of which is the total number of remaining installment
payments. The installment amount shall be adjusted annually to reflect gains and
losses, if any, allocated to such Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to
Section 6(c)(ii).

(2) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies prior to receiving full payment
his or her Deferral Account as elected under this Section 6(b)(iii), the balance
of the vested portion of such Participant’s Deferral Account shall be paid to
the Participant’s designated beneficiary in the form of a lump sum as soon as
administratively practicable following the Participant’s death. The amount of
any such lump sum payment shall be determined as set forth in
Section 6(b)(viii).

(iv) Stock Units Awarded on Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, that portion of a Participant’s Deferral Account that is
attributable the award of Stock Units pursuant to Section 5 of this Independent
Directors Plan on the Effective Date shall be distributed, subject to
Section 5(e)(iii) of this Independent Directors Plan, in the form of a lump sum
payment on the third anniversary of the Effective Date.

(v) Form of Distribution. That portion of a Participant’s Deferral Account that
remains notionally invested, at the time of distribution, in Stock Units and/or
Common Shares shall be distributed in the form of Common Shares. That portion of
a Participant’s Deferral Account that is notionally invested, at the time of
distribution, in any investment alternative other than Stock Units or Common
Shares shall be distributed in cash.

(vi) Financial Hardship. The Committee shall have the authority to alter the
timing or manner of payment of amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferral
Account in the event that the Participant establishes, to the satisfaction of
the Committee, “severe financial hardship” (as defined herein). For purposes of
this Section 6(b)(vi), “severe financial hardship” shall mean any financial
hardship resulting from the illness or injury of a Participant or dependent (as
determined by the Committee), the casualty loss of a Participant’s real or
personal property, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable
circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the
Participant. In any event, payment under this Section 6(b)(vi) may not be made
to the extent such emergency is or may be relieved: (A) through reimbursement or
compensation by insurance or otherwise; or (B) by liquidation of the
Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not
itself cause severe financial hardship. Withdrawals of amounts because of a
severe financial hardship may only be permitted to the extent reasonably
necessary to satisfy the hardship, plus to pay taxes on the withdrawal. The
Participant’s Deferral Account will be credited with earnings in accordance with
this Section 6 up to the date of distribution.

(vii) Incompetence of Distributee. In the event that it shall be found that a
person entitled to receive payment under the Plan (including a designated
beneficiary) is a minor or is physically or mentally incapable of personally
receiving and giving a valid receipt for any payment due (unless prior claim
therefor shall have been made by a duly qualified committee or other legal
representative), such payment may be made to any person whom the Committee in
its sole discretion determines is entitled to receive it, and any such payment
shall fully discharge the Company, the Company, the Committee and the Plan from
any further liability to the person otherwise entitled to payment hereunder, to
the extent of such payment.

(viii) Value of Stock Units on Distribution. In the event of a distribution
hereunder, the amount payable to the Participant receiving such distribution
shall be as follows:

(A) In the event Participant has selected an investment other than Stock Units
or Common Shares, and such Participant has elected to take payment of the
Deferral Account in a lump sum payout, or a lump sum payout is otherwise
required hereunder, the Company shall pay the Participant an amount in cash
equal to the balance in such Participant’s Deferral Account as of the date
elected by the Participant, or as of the date of the event requiring such lump
sum payout, as the case may be.

(B) In the event Participant has selected investment an investment other than
Stock Units or Common Shares, and such Participant has elected to take payment
of the Deferral Account in installments, the Company shall pay the Participant
annually installment payments, with each payment equal to the balance of the
Deferral Account on the applicable anniversary date selected by Participant,
divided by the number of installments remaining.

(C) In the event Participant has selected investment in Stock Units and/or
Common Shares, and such Participant has elected to take payment of the Deferral
Account in a lump sum payout, or a lump sum payout is otherwise required
hereunder, the Company shall, subject to Section 16 of the Plan, issue to the
Participant a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Stock Units and
Common Shares in such Participant’s Deferral Account.

(D) If Participant has selected investment in Stock Units and/or Common Shares,
and such Participant has elected to take payment of the Deferral Account in
installment payouts, such Participant shall receive on each installment payment
date, subject to Section 16 of the Plan, a number of Common Shares equal to the
total number of Stock Units and Common Shares in such Participant’s Deferral
Account, divided by the number of installments elected.

(E) Any distributions due by the Company under this Section 6 shall be made as
soon as administratively feasible, but, subject to Section 16 of the Plan, in no
event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the day the amount of such
payment is determined pursuant to this Section 6(b)(viii).

(c) Deferral Accounts.

(i) Participants’ Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain an
individual bookkeeping Deferral Account for each Participant. Each Deferral
Account shall be credited with Stock Units in accordance with Section 6(a) of
this Independent Directors Plan, generally within five (5) business days of the
third anniversary of the applicable Grant Date, and as provided in
Section 6(c)(ii). Each Participant shall be fully vested in his or her Deferral
Account at all times.

(ii) Earnings on Deferred Amounts.

(1) A Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited with earnings (or losses)
based on a deemed investment of the Participant’s Deferral Account, as directed
by each Participant, which deemed investment shall be Stock Units/Common Shares
or one or more hypothetical investment alternatives made available by the
Committee from time to time; provided, however, that amounts credited to a
Participant’s Deferral Account in respect of an award Stock Units under this
Independent Directors Plan must remain invested Stock Units until third
anniversary of the Grant Date of such award. A Participant shall have no voting
rights or any other rights as a holder of Common Shares with respect to any
Stock Units or Common Shares allocated to his or her Deferral Account; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Participant has had
Common Shares credited to such Participant’s Deferral Account and the Company
pays cash dividends with respect to the Common Shares, such Participant’s
Deferral Account will be credited with an additional number of Common Shares
equal to (A) the dividend per Common Share multiplied by (B) the number of
Common Shares in such Participant’s Deferral Account divided by (C) the Fair
Market Value of one Common Share on the date such dividend is paid to the
holders of Common Shares.

(2) Deemed earnings (and losses) on a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be
credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account on a monthly basis. Any portion of
a Participant’s Deferral Account which is subject to distribution in
installments shall continue to be credited with deemed earnings (or losses)
until fully paid out to the Participant.

(3) The Committee reserves the right to change the options available for deemed
investments under the Plan from time to time, or to eliminate any such option at
any time. A Participant may specify a separate investment allocation with
respect any portion of his or her Deferral Account, subject to limitations
imposed by the Committee. Participants may modify their deemed investment
instructions each business day with respect to any portion (whole percentages
only) of their Deferral Account; provided they notify the Committee or its
designee within the time and in the manner specified by the Committee. Elections
and amendments thereto pursuant to this Section 6(c)(ii) shall be made in the
manner prescribed by the Committee.

(iii) Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate a beneficiary
or beneficiaries (each a “Beneficiary”) who, upon the Participant’s death, or
physical or mental incapacity will receive the amounts that otherwise would have
been paid to the Participant under this Independent Directors Plan. All
designations shall be signed by the Participant, and shall be in such form as
prescribed by the Committee. Each designation shall be effective as of the date
delivered to the Committee or its designee by the Participant. Participants may
change their beneficiary designations on such form as prescribed by the
Committee. The payment of amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account
shall be in accordance with the last unrevoked written beneficiary designation
that has been signed by the Participant and delivered to the Committee or its
designee prior to the Participant’s death. In the event that all the
beneficiaries named by a Participant pursuant to this Section 6(c)(iii)
predecease the Participant, the deferred amounts that would have been paid to
the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries shall be paid to the
Participant’s estate. In the event a Participant does not designate a
beneficiary, or for any reason such designation is ineffective, in whole or in
part, the amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the Participant or the
Participant’s beneficiaries under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant’s
estate.

(d) Trust. Nothing contained in this Independent Directors Plan shall create a
trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any
Participant. Nevertheless, the Company may establish one or more trusts, with
such trustee(s) as the Committee may approve, for the purpose of providing for
the payment of deferred amounts and earnings thereon. Such trust or trusts may
be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the
Company’s general creditors upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

(e) Nontransferability. Participants’ rights to deferred amounts and earnings
credited thereon under the Independent Directors Plan may not be sold,
transferred, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic
relations order, nor shall the Company make any payment under the Independent
Directors Plan to any assignee or creditor of a Participant.

  7.   Rights of Participants.  

(a) Contractual Obligation. The Independent Directors Plan shall create an
unfunded, unsecured contractual obligation on the part of the Company to make
payments due under Stock Unit awards, and to make payments from the
Participants’ Deferral Accounts when due. Payments under the Independent
Directors Plan shall be made out of the general assets of the Company or from
the trust or trusts referred to in Section 6(d) above.

(b) Unsecured Interest. No Participant or party claiming an interest in benefits
of a Participant hereunder shall have any interest whatsoever in any specific
asset of the Company. To the extent that any party acquires a right to receive
payments under the Independent Directors Plan, such right shall be equivalent to
that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Each Participant, by
participating hereunder, agrees to waive any priority creditor status with
respect to any amounts due hereunder. The Company shall have no duty to set
aside or invest any amounts credited to Participants’ Deferral Accounts or Stock
Unit awards under this Independent Directors Plan. Accounts established
hereunder are solely for bookkeeping purposes and the Company shall not be
required to segregate any funds based on such accounts.

  8.   Miscellaneous.  

(a) Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the
Company under the Independent Directors Plan shall be sufficient if in writing
and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail to the Committee,
and if mailed, shall be addressed to the principal executive offices of the
Company. Notice mailed to a Participant shall be at such address as is given in
the records of the Company. Notices to the Company shall be deemed given as of
the date of delivery. Notice to a Participant or beneficiary shall be deemed
given as of the date of hand delivery, or if delivery is made by mail, three
(3) days following the postmark date.

(b) Costs of the Independent Directors Plan. All costs of implementing and
administering the Independent Directors Plan shall be borne by the Company.

  9.   Amendments and Termination  

The Company reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate the Independent
Directors Plan (in whole or in part) at any time by action of the Board or the
Committee, with or without prior notice. Except as described below in this
Section 9, no such amendment or termination shall in any material manner
adversely affect any Participant’s rights to any amounts already deferred or
credited hereunder or deemed earnings thereon, up to the point of amendment or
termination, without the consent of the Participant. Termination of the
Independent Directors Plan shall not be a permitted distribution event, except
to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of
any additional taxes or other penalties under Section 409A of the Code. If
payout is commenced pursuant to the operation of this Section 9, the payment of
deferred amounts and earnings thereon shall be made in the manner selected by
each Participant under Section 6(b)(iii) herein (other than the commencement
date).

Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have broad authority to amend
the Independent Directors Plan to take in to account changes in applicable
securities and tax laws and accounting rules.

  10.   General Provisions  

(a) Additional Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Independent
Directors Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is
required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable
only in specific cases.

(b) No Right to Continued Service. Neither the adoption of the Independent
Directors Plan nor the award of Stock Units hereunder shall confer upon any
individual any right to continued service as a member of the Board, nor shall it
interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the service of
an individual at any time.

(c) Arbitration. Any individual making a claim for benefits under this
Independent Directors Plan may contest the Committee’s decision to deny such
claim or appeal therefrom only by submitting the matter to binding arbitration
before a single arbitrator. Any arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles,
California, unless otherwise agreed to by the Committee. The arbitration shall
be conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s authority shall be limited to the
affirmation or reversal of the Committee’s denial of the claim or appeal, based
solely on whether or not the Committee’s decision was arbitrary or capricious,
and the arbitrator shall have no power to alter, add to, or subtract from any
provision of this Independent Directors Plan. Except as otherwise required by
applicable law, the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all
parties, if warranted on the record and reasonably based on applicable law and
the provisions of this Independent Directors Plan. The arbitrator shall have no
power to award any punitive, exemplary, consequential or special damages, and
under no circumstances shall an award contain any amount that in any way
reflects any of such types of damages. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s
fees and costs of arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

  11.   Governing Law.  

The Independent Directors Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the
State of California.
