		VALUATION OF STOCK UNITS
		

		
			 
		

		
			Retainer/Stipends:  The number of units to be awarded to a director is determined as follows: 
		

		
			 
		

		
			The cash value of the retainer and/or stipends payable to the director are divided by the Fair Market Value (the closing price) of the Company’s common stock on the date the retainer or stipends were earned.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Dividends:  As of the date of any payment of a stock dividend or stock split by the Company, a director’s Stock Unit Account will be credited with Stock Units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional share entitlements) which are payable by the Company with respect to the number of shares (including fractional share entitlements) equal to the number of Stock Units credited to the director’s Stock Unit Account on the record date for such stock dividend or stock split.  As of the date of any dividend in cash or property or other distribution payable to holders of Common Stock, the director’s Stock Unit Account shall be credited with additional Stock Units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional share entitlements) that could have been purchased at the Fair Market Value as of such payment date with the amount which would have been received as a dividend or distribution on the number of shares (including fractional share entitlements) equal to the Stock Units credited to the director’s Stock Unit Account as of the record date.
		

		
			ELECTION RULES AND PROCEDURES
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each director must elect by December 31 of the preceding year (or within 30 days after the individual becomes a director, in which case the election shall be effective only with respect to amounts that are earned for services performed after the date the election is delivered) whether he or she will receive the cash portion of his or her annual retainer and stipends in cash or stock units.  All elections made are irrevocable.
		

		
			 
		

		
			DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon termination of service as a director, a director’s stock unit account shall be paid out in the form of cash (valuing each stock unit at the Fair Market Value (the closing price) of a share of the Company’s common stock on the termination date) or Company common stock, at the election of the director (one share of common stock shall be distributed for each stock unit in the director’s stock unit account).  Absent a valid election, stock units shall be paid out in common stock.
