Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below, may elect to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees, Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) for services to be performed in the following the calendar year by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable.

	(iii)
	New Directors. Each Eligible Director who during the preceding twenty-four (24) months has not participated in any deferred compensation arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate that would be treated as a single plan with this Plan under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2)(i) and who joins the Board between annual meetings of stockholders may elect prior to first becoming an Eligible Director to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee and/or Non-Executive Chairman Fee, a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) and/or Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) up to the number which is calculated by (A) multiplying the sum of his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) payable with respect to the time prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders which the Eligible Director is first elected to the Board by the Proration Fraction and (B) dividing the product resulting from clause (A) by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date that the Eligible Director becomes an Eligible Director. Each Eligible Director may also elect to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director), Common 











Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Meeting Fees (or portion thereof) by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Quarterly Payment Date. To be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the date that the Eligible Director becomes a Director, and such Election Form shall be irrevocable on the date he or she first becomes an Eligible Director for that calendar year with respect to any election (or lack of election) to receive Restricted Stock Units.
		
	(b)
	Restricted Stock Units. 


		
	(i)
	Account. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock Units to an Eligible Director, such units shall be credited to an account established for such Eligible Director.  A Restricted Stock Unit shall be treated as granted on the corresponding Accounting Date or last day of the calendar quarter relating to the fees for which the Restricted Stock Units are determined.  Each Eligible Director shall receive an annual statement showing the number of Restricted Stock Units that have been credited to the Eligible Director’s account under the Program. 


		
	(ii)
	Dividend Equivalent Credits. An Eligible Director’s account shall be credited with Dividend Equivalent Credits equivalent to the amount of dividends paid by the Company to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock based on the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Eligible Director’s account on the dividend record date for shares of Common Stock. Such Dividend Equivalent Credit shall be converted into an equivalent number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) based on the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the related dividend payment date and such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same distribution timing as the underlying Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Credits related. If a dividend is paid in cash, each Eligible Director shall be credited, as of each applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the following formula: 


(A X B) / C 
in which “A” equals the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director on the dividend record date, “B” equals the cash dividend per share and “C” equals the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. If a dividend is paid in property other than cash, Dividend Equivalent Credits shall be credited, as of the applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the formula set forth above, except that “B” shall equal the fair market value per share of the property that the Eligible Director would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director as of the dividend record date, had such shares been owned by the Eligible Director as of the record date for such dividend. 
		
	(iii)
	Time of Payment. All payments in respect of an Eligible Director’s Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable but not more than ninety (90) days following the earlier of (A) the Eligible Director’s death (B) the occurrence of a Change in Control, and (C) the specific date (including upon the Eligible Director’s Separation from Service) the Eligible Director has elected to receive payment pursuant to the applicable Election Form pursuant to which such Eligible Director elected to receive such Restricted Stock Units in lieu of cash.  If distribution is to be made upon a Separation from Service and the individual is a “specified employee,” as defined under Code section 409A, on the date of such Separation from Service, then no distribution will be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of the individual’s Separation from Services, or if earlier, upon his or her death.


		
	(iv)
	Form of Payment. Payment in respect of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in one lump sum payment in the form of shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any payment made upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in full or partial payment of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in cash in an amount equal the Change in Control Price multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional units). 


		
	(c)
	Stock Plan. 


All shares of Common Stock and all Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Section 7 shall be awarded under, and in accordance with, the terms of the Stock Plan. Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be considered Other Stock-Based Awards under the Plan.

	For purposes of this Section 8, “Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 


		
	(b)

	(ii)
	a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the date of the election or appointment; or 


		
	(iii)
	the consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company,  a sale or other disposition in a transaction or series of related transactions within a 12-month period of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the issuance by the Company of its stock in connection with the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity (each, a “Business Combination”) in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the owners of the Company’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such Business Combination own (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) immediately after the transaction or transactions more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one of more subsidiaries), and (2) no person, entity or group (other than a direct or indirect parent entity of the Company that, after giving effect to the Business Combination, beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding voting securities (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from the Business Combination) has acquired, during a 12-month period, ownership (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) of 35% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination.


Notwithstanding anything herein stated, no Change in Control shall be deemed to occur unless such event constitutes a change in ownership or effective control, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets, of a business under Code section 409A.
SECTION 9. AMENDMENT; TERMINATION 
The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Program in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment which requires stockholder approval in order for the exemptions available under Rule 16b-3 to be applicable to the Program and the Eligible Directors shall be effective unless the same shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon. 
SECTION 10. RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE DIRECTORS 
Nothing contained in the Program or with respect to any grant shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the stockholders of the Company to remove any Eligible Director from the Board pursuant to the bylaws of the Company, nor confer upon any Eligible Director any right to continue in the service of the Company as a director. 
SECTION 11. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS 
		
	(a)
	Investment Representations. The Company may require any Eligible Director to whom Common Stock is issued, as a condition of receiving such Common Stock, to give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that such person is acquiring the Common Stock for his or her own account for 











investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.
		
	(b)
	Compliance with Securities Laws. Each issuance shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares thereunder, such issuance may not be accepted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification.

	(d)

SECTION 12. WITHHOLDING 
The Company may defer making payments or delivering shares of Common Stock under the Program for up to 30 days to ensure that satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of any federal, state or local income or employment taxes that the Company reasonably determines in its sole discretion are required to be withheld with respect to such payment or delivery.

The Program and all rights hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware. 
SECTION 14. UNFUNDED PROGRAM

The Program shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Eligible Director or other person.
