For calendar year _______, the Participant hereby elects to receive 100% of his or her cash compensation, including any committee, chairperson and/or attendance fees, in the form of elective Restricted Stock Units.  This election shall continue in effect for subsequent calendar years unless revoked by the Participant.  
Section 1.2Number of Elective Restricted Stock Units.  
The cash compensation the Participant has elected under Section 1.1 above shall be converted to a number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the quotient of (a) the amount of such cash compensation then payable, divided by (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date the cash compensation would have otherwise been paid to the Participant.

The number of Restricted Stock Units determined under Section 1.2 are units that will be reflected in a book account maintained by the Corporation.    
Section 1.4Immediate Vesting of Restricted Stock Units
(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4(b) below, these Restricted Stock Units shall be fully vested.  The Participant will not have any dividend rights or voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units and will not be deemed a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to any of the Restricted Stock Units unless and until shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Participant in settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit pursuant to Section 1.5. 
(b)If the Participant is removed from the Board by the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation for cause, or the Participant resigns or decides not to stand for reelection to the Board following delivery of notice to the stockholders of a proposal to remove the Participant from the Board for cause (for these purposes, cause shall include, but not be limited to, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform the Participant's duties and responsibilities as a member of the Board for any reason other than illness or incapacity), then all Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited.

Section 1.6Restricted Stock Units Subject to Plan
The Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalent rights, granted hereunder are subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, including without limitation, Sections 7.4 and 8.9 of the Plan.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan (including the Program, as applicable).
Section 1.7Dividend Equivalents
During the period beginning on the date the Restricted Share Units are credited to the Participant's book account and ending on the date that shares of Common Stock are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units (including Deferred Shares (as defined in the Program) under the Program) equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution.  Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable (or forfeitable) upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash.
