of the Scheduled Settlement Date; (ii) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the

occurs after the Scheduled Settlement Date.

I further understand that if I make a valid deferral election hereunder, any
vested Restricted Stock Units deferred hereunder will be settled within the
thirty (30) day period following the earliest of the following to occur,
provided that such event constitutes a permissible payment event pursuant to the
requirements of Code Section 409A: (i) my elected Deferred Settlement Date (set
forth above); (ii) my death; (iii) my Disability; or (iv) a Change in Control. I
also understand that if I am a “specified employee” (within the meaning of such
term under Code Section 409A and determined using any identification methodology
and procedure selected by the Company from time to time, or, if none, the
default methodology and procedure specified under Code Section 409A) at the time
of settlement, any amounts deferred hereunder that are subject to Code
Section 409A, except in the event of death, shall be delayed in accordance with
the requirements of Code Section 409A until the day immediately following the
six month anniversary of my “separation of service” within the meaning of Code
Section 409A (and the guidance issued thereunder).

I further understand that any dividend equivalents that I may be otherwise
entitled to receive under my Award Agreement with respect to a Restricted Stock
Unit shall be paid to me at the same time as applicable Common Shares under the
relevant Restricted Stock Units are paid to me.

I further understand that any issuance or payment of Common Shares or cash,
respectively, that I receive in connection with my Restricted Stock Units will
be a taxable event for Federal income tax and Self-Employment Contributions
(SECA) tax purposes.

I further understand that I am under no obligation to make any deferral election
with respect to my Restricted Stock Units.

I acknowledge that I have reviewed a copy of the Plan and that this election
form and my participation in the Plan are subject to the terms, conditions and
provisions of the Plan and my Award Agreement. I acknowledge that this election
shall not be effective unless and until it is filed with, and its receipt is
acknowledged by, the Company. I further acknowledge and agree that my election
relates solely to the Restricted Stock Units covered by the Award Agreement
specified above.

The terms of the Plan and my Award Agreement shall be incorporated herein in
their entirety and made part of this election form. Unless otherwise defined
herein, any capitalized term shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the
Plan and my Award Agreement.
