	3.	SAMSUNG LICENSE GRANTS. 

3.1 Licensed Products License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.1, Samsung grants Spansion and its
Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual license under the Samsung Licensed Patents to make, have-made, sell, use, import, and otherwise dispose of Licensed Products. For clarity, the license
granted under this Section 3.1 includes the right of Spansion’s customers to use, sell, offer for sale, import or otherwise dispose of Spansion’s Licensed Products (either alone or as a component of another device) worldwide,
regardless of the jurisdiction in which such Licensed Products were first sold or manufactured, to the same extent that the Samsung Licensed Patents covering such Licensed Products would be deemed to have been exhausted under United States law if
such Licensed Products were first sold in the United States; provided however that the parties intend that the license granted herein extends only to a Spansion Licensed Product itself and not to any combination as a whole of the Spansion Licensed
Product with other products or technology, or to the end device as a whole into which the Spansion Licensed Product is incorporated. 
 3.2 Foundry Services License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2, Samsung grants Spansion and its Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, irrevocable, worldwide,
fully paid-up, perpetual license under the Samsung Licensed Patents to make Logic Devices, but not Memory Devices, for third parties that are designed (or designed in part) and sold by such third parties as their own products (i.e., the Logic Device
bears the commercial indicia or trademark of such third party), provided, however, that such license 

  
 [*] Certain information in
this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and 
 Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions. 
 3 

 
extends only to claims of Licensed Patents covering either (1) a process for manufacturing, assembling or testing a Logic Device (as opposed to data processing used by a Logic Device in its
operation, for example), or (2) a circuit or transistor structure within the Logic Device (but not the entirety of the Logic Device) that is (a) designed by Spansion and (b) included as a standard cell in the standard cell library
provided by Spansion in conjunction with its foundry services. Further, by way of clarification, while third party Logic Devices resulting from licensed foundry services are not Licensed Products, it is understood and agreed that Spansion’s
licensed use of the Samsung Licensed Patents in the manufacture of, or Spansion’s designs incorporated in, such third party Logic Devices exhausts such Samsung Licensed Patents worldwide to the extent and only to the extent of such licensed
activity with respect to such third party Logic Devices. Spansion acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly provided herein, this Section 3.2 shall not cover any manufacturing activities of Spansion on behalf of third parties for the
primary purpose of obtaining rights under the Samsung Licensed Patents (i.e., patent laundering), including making or having made products based on designs owned by third parties. 

3.3 Springing License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.3, Samsung grants Spansion and its Subsidiaries a
non-exclusive, non-transferrable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual license under any patents owned or controlled by Samsung or by its Subsidiaries that are not Samsung Licensed Patents to make, have-made, sell, use, import, and
otherwise dispose of Spansion’s Licensed Products provided that such license shall only be effective for patents that Samsung sells, transfers, assigns or grants exclusive licenses to with the right of enforcement to a third party during the
Term, and shall only become effective immediately prior to such sale, transfer, assignment or grant of exclusive license. 
 3.4
Ownership. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect Samsung’s ownership or control (or its Subsidiary’s ownership or control) of the Samsung Licensed Patents. Except for the license grants set forth in this Agreement, all other rights
are reserved. 
 3.5 Indemnity. Samsung, at its own expense, agrees to indemnify and hold Spansion and its Subsidiaries
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Spansion as a result of any assertion (i.e., the filing of a complaint with governmental body) during the
Term made by or on behalf of Samsung or its Subsidiaries of any patents owned or controlled by Samsung that are not Licensed Patents directly against Spansion or Spansion’s Subsidiaries for the use, manufacture, importation, sale or offer for
sale of Licensed Products. Samsung’s obligation to indemnify Spansion shall be suspended should Spansion breach its forbearance obligation, set forth in Section 4.5 below. 

 

	4.	SPANSION LICENSE GRANTS. 

4.1 Licensed Products License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1, Spansion grants Samsung and its
Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual license under the Spansion Licensed Patents to make, have-made, sell, use, import, and otherwise dispose of Licensed Products. For clarity, the license
granted under this Section 4.1 includes the right of Samsung’s customers to use, sell, offer for sale, import or otherwise dispose of Samsung’s Licensed Products (either alone or as a component of another device) worldwide, regardless
of the jurisdiction in which such Licensed Products were first sold or manufactured, to the same extent that the Spansion Licensed Patents covering such Licensed Products would be deemed to have been exhausted under United States law if such
Licensed Products were first sold in the United States; provided however that the parties intend that the license granted herein extends only to a Samsung Licensed Product itself and not to any combination as a whole of the Samsung Licensed Product
with other products or technology, or to the end device as a whole into which the Samsung Licensed Product is incorporated. 

4.2 Foundry Services License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.2, Spansion grants Samsung and its
Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual license under the Spansion Licensed Patents to make Logic Devices, but not Memory Devices, for third parties that are designed (or designed in part)
and sold by such third parties as their own products (i.e., the Logic Device bears the commercial indicia or trademark of such third party), provided, however, that such license extends only to claims of Licensed Patents covering either (1) a
process for manufacturing, assembling or testing a Logic Device (as opposed to data processing used by a Logic Device in its operation, for example), or (2) a circuit or transistor structure within the Logic Device (but not

  
 [*] Certain information in

 Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions. 
 4 

 
the entirety of the Logic Device) that is (a) designed by Samsung and (b) included as a standard cell in the standard cell library provided by Samsung in conjunction with its foundry
services. Further, by way of clarification, while third party Logic Devices resulting from licensed foundry services are not Licensed Products, it is understood and agreed that Samsung’s licensed use of the Spansion Licensed Patents in the
manufacture of, or Samsung’s designs incorporated in, such third party Logic Devices exhausts such Spansion Licensed Patents worldwide to the extent and only to the extent of such licensed activity with respect to such third party Logic
Devices. Samsung acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly provided herein, this Section 4.2 shall not cover any manufacturing activities of Samsung on behalf of third parties for the primary purpose of obtaining rights under the
Spansion Licensed Patents (i.e., patent laundering), including making or having made products based on designs owned by third parties. 
 4.3 Springing License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.3, Spansion grants Samsung and its Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully
paid-up, perpetual license under any Spansion Licensed Patents to make, have-made, sell, use, import, and otherwise dispose of products other than Licensed Products made by or for Samsung and sold or offered for sale as Samsung’s own product
(i.e., the product bears the commercial indicia, including a die mark, or trademark, of Samsung), provided that such license shall only be effective for patents that Spansion sells, transfers, assigns or grants exclusive licenses to with the right
of enforcement to a third party during the Term, and shall only become effective immediately prior to such sale, transfer, assignment or grant of exclusive license. 
 4.4 Ownership. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect Spansion’s ownership or control (or its Subsidiary’s ownership or control) of the Spansion Licensed Patents. Except for the license
grants set forth in this Agreement, all other rights are reserved. 
 4.5 Forbearance. Spansion agrees to forbear during
the Term from asserting any Spansion Licensed Patents against Samsung, its Subsidiaries or Samsung’s customers with respect to any third-party Semiconductor Devices (which are not licensed hereunder) incorporated by Samsung in Samsung’s
Systems in favor of pursuing all available remedies against such third party supplier of Semiconductor Devices to Samsung. For clarity, Samsung acknowledges and agrees that the this forbearance does not limit Spansion’s rights to assert any
Licensed Patents against such third party supplier of unlicensed Semiconductor Devices to Samsung. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Samsung asserts a patent that is not a Licensed Patent against a Spansion customer during the Term which triggers an
indemnity obligation by Spansion to that customer, then Spansion’s forbearance under this section shall be suspended and Spansion shall be free to assert its Licensed Patents against Samsung for products that are not Licensed Products,
including but not limited to Samsung products that incorporate unlicensed third-party Semiconductor Devices. 
  

	5.	ASSIGNMENT; ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES. 

5.1 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or the rights set forth herein without the prior written consent of the
other Party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without the consent of the other Party upon any acquisition, change of control, or sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the assigning Party if the purchaser is a financial buyer that does not have any products of its own prior to the acquisition, change of control or asset sale (“Financial Buyer”). Any purported
assignment of this Agreement or the rights granted herein that does not comply with this Section 5.1 shall be null and void from the beginning. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 
 5.2 Acquisitions. If during the life of the Licensed Patents of
either Party, a Party acquires a third party or all or substantially all of its assets, or merges with a third party and is the surviving or controlling entity after the close of the transaction, then the licenses set forth in this Agreement will
not apply to the acquired entity or its assets or products lines if, in the final fiscal year before the acquisition, such entity made (or had made on its behalf) and sold Licensed Products for which such entity received more than ten billion U.S.
dollars (US$10,000,000,000) in gross revenue. Any patents owned or controlled by such acquired entity, to the extent that such patents would qualify as Licensed Patents of the acquiring Party hereunder, shall upon the closing of such acquisition
transaction be licensed to the non-acquiring Party hereunder. 
 5.3 Divestitures. If during the life of the Licensed
Patents either Party is sold to a third party, sells all or substantially all of its assets, or sells the assets of a product line, to a third party, or merges with a third party and is not the surviving or controlling entity after the close of the
transaction, then the licenses granted to such Party will not apply to any portions of the business that such Party sells, divests, or spins off to a third party except with respect to those Licensed Products (by part number) that were made by or on
behalf of the divesting Party immediately prior to the divestiture (“Divested Products”). The divesting Party will assign in

 Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions. 
 5 

 
part to the acquiring entity the licenses as set forth in Section 5.3 of this Agreement but only as to the Divested Products so long as they maintain the same part number of the Licensed
Products. For clarity, no other current or future products, if any, of that acquirer will be licensed under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.3 does not apply to a Financial Buyer, but would apply to any subsequent strategic
purchaser (i.e., an entity that designs, makes and sells products). 
  

	6.	SETTLEMENT OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS. 

6.1 Samsung Claim. Spansion and Samsung agree that any and all claims that Samsung has asserted or could assert in the Bankruptcy
Proceeding, including, without limitation, the proofs of claim designated as Claim Nos. 1036, 1037 and 1038 on the claims register maintained in the Bankruptcy Proceeding and any other prepetition, administrative or other claims shall be deemed
settled claims against Spansion in the aggregate amount of forty-five million dollars ($45,000,000) (collectively, “Samsung Claim”), and the Samsung Claim shall be deemed to be a Class 5B claim under the Plan. Samsung hereby irrevocably
assigns, transfers and sells the Samsung Claim and all rights thereunder to Spansion for thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) (the “Claim Purchase Amount”). The Claim Purchase Amount was calculated using Spansion’s standard internal
formula for purchasing bankruptcy claims and applied a nine percent discount off Spansion’s share price as of the close of market on June 10, 2011, which was $18.59. Spansion’s obligation to pay the Claim Purchase Amount to Samsung
shall be binding (subject to Sections 6.2, 6.3, and 7 herein) even if the Court disallows the Samsung Claim or allows it in an amount different than the amount agreed to between the parties pursuant to this paragraph. 

6.2 Offset. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Claim Purchase Amount will not be paid in cash to Samsung but will instead
be applied as an offset against any amounts payable by Samsung to Spansion pursuant to Section 7 below. 
 6.3 Costs and
Tax. Spansion will be solely responsible for seeking Court approval for the settlement terms set forth in Section 6.1 and shall pay all of its own costs and expenses related thereto. Spansion shall also be responsible for any Korean
withholding tax owed by Samsung and arising out of the offset (in the amount of the Claim Purchase Amount) as set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. Spansion agrees to timely provide such tax amounts to Samsung pursuant to Section 7.2 and allow
Samsung to fulfill its Korean withholding tax requirements. Samsung agrees to provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Spansion in securing Court approval of the Samsung claim, and Spansion agrees to reimburse Samsung for all costs and
expenses reasonably arising from such assistance. 
  

	7.	PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. 

 7.1 Initial Payment and Installments. Samsung shall pay Spansion a total of one hundred and fifty million ($150,000,000) dollars, including an initial payment of twenty-five million dollars
($25,000,000), which shall be due August 15, 2011, and twenty (20) quarterly installments thereafter of six million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($6,250,000) each beginning in the fourth calendar quarter of 2011, subject to
Spansions’s application of the Claim Purchase Amount it owes Samsung for the Samsung Claim as an offset against the initial payment of twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) and five million dollars ($5,000,000) of the first quarterly
payment owed by Samsung hereunder and further subject to taxes as set forth in 

  
 [*] Certain information in
this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and 
 Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions. 
 6 

 
Section 7.2 below. Quarterly payments by Samsung shall be due forty-five (45) days from the beginning of the calendar quarter in which they are owed, including the first quarterly
payment of one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) due on November 15, 2011. Prior to August 15, 2011, Spansion shall deposit the Claim Purchase Amount owed to Samsung in a separate account owned and controlled by
Spansion. 
 7.2 Taxes. All cash payments by Samsung to Spansion are subject to Korean withholding taxes, which Samsung
shall deduct and pay on Spansion’s behalf from each payment. Further, Spansion shall forward tax on each of the offsets set forth in Section 7.1 to Samsung within twenty four (24) hours of its occurrence in the following amounts:
(a) for the offset of twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000) on August 15, 2011, four million one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars ($4,125,000) and (b) for the offset of five million dollars ($5,000,000) on
November 15, 2011, eight hundred and twenty five thousand dollars ($825,000). Samsung shall promptly provide Spansion with all tax receipts or certificates as proof of tax payments hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, however, Samsung has no
further obligation whatsoever in any Spansion attempt to petition the Korean tax authorities for refund on any of the taxes hereunder. 
  

	8.	REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND EXCLUSIONS. 

8.1 Mutual Representations and Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants that (a) it has the full power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, (b) this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized and approved by and on behalf of the Party by all requisite corporate
actions; (c) this Agreement is binding on and enforceable against such Party and its Subsidiaries in accordance with its terms, and (d) its compliance (and the compliance of its Subsidiaries) with its obligations (and the obligations
applicable to such Subsidiaries) hereunder will not conflict with or result in a breach of any judicial or administrative order, award, judgment, decree, or agreement to which such Party (or its Subsidiary) is a Party or is otherwise bound.

 8.2 Exclusions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as: 

a. a warranty or representation by any Party hereto as to the validity or scope of any patents; or 

b. conferring upon any Party hereto or its Subsidiaries any license, immunity, covenant, release or other right under any patents, except
the licenses and releases expressly granted hereunder; or 
 c. a warranty or representation that any acts licensed or released
hereunder will be free from infringement of patents, other than those under which licenses, immunities, conditional non-assertion covenants and releases have been granted hereunder; or 

d. an agreement to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for infringement or an agreement conferring any right to
bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for infringement; or 
 e. conferring any right to use, in
advertising, publicity, or otherwise, any trademark or trade name, or any contraction, abbreviation or simulation thereof, of any Party hereto; or 

  
 [*] Certain information in
this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and 
 Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions. 
 7 

 f. an obligation to furnish any technical information or know-how. 

8.3 No Implied Licenses. Each Party hereby retains all rights not expressly granted by this Agreement. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, each Party hereby disclaims any and all implied licenses, immunities and other rights. In addition, this Agreement provides no licenses, immunities or other rights to any Party hereto under any trademarks or trade names,
copyrights, mask work rights or trade secrets. The parties acknowledge and agree that the licenses and releases granted by each Party under this Agreement are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no rule of interpretation may
be applied to otherwise affect any Party’s right to exclude others from practicing the claims of such Party’s patents. 
  

	9.	TERM; SURVIVAL. 

 9.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the Term. 

9.2 Survival. Section 1, Sections 3.1-3.4, Sections 4.1-4.4, Sections 5.1-5.3, Sections 8.2-8.3, Sections 9.2, 10, 11, 12,
and 13 shall survive the expiration of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, all licenses herein shall survive the end of the Term. 
  

	10.	RELEASES.  

 10.1 Each Party releases the other of any and all claims of patent infringement, whether known or not, that existed prior to signing this Agreement. 

10.2 Each Party further provides a limited release of the other Party’s customers from any and all claims of patent infringement
arising solely from the customers’ use, manufacture, offer for sale, importation or sale of the other Party’s Licensed Products prior to signing this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the limited release of the other Party’s
customers set forth herein is limited to the customer’s infringement by the other Party’s Licensed Products (alone or as a component of another product) and not the combination as a whole with any other product or technology. Further, to
the extent that such customers make, use, sell, import or offer to sell products that include third party products that infringe the Party’s patents, such infringement is not released hereunder. 

10.3 Each Party expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law which, if applied to this Agreement, would otherwise exclude
from its binding effect any claims not known by such Party to exist which arose prior to the signing of this Agreement. 
 EACH
PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS: 
 A
GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 

EACH PARTY, BEING AWARE OF SAID CODE SECTION, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE THEREUNDER, AS

WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR EFFECT. 
  

	11.	CONFIDENTIALITY. 

 11.1 The parties shall not disclose the terms or existence of this Agreement, or the discussions relating hereto to any other person or entity (collectively, the “Confidential Information”),
except that a Party may disclose Confidential Information: 
 a. to its or its Subsidiaries’ respective directors,
statutory auditors, officers, employees, advisors and other representatives, in each case that have a need to know such Confidential Information, provided that the disclosing Party shall be responsible for such person’s or entity’s
adherence to the terms hereof; 
 b. in the case of Spansion, the US bankruptcy courts, provided however, that Spansion shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with Samsung prior to making any such disclosure; 
 c. as may be required by
applicable law or regulations of any applicable securities exchange, provided however, that any Party so required to disclose any such information shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other parties prior to making any such
disclosure; and 
 d. as otherwise may be agreed in writing by the parties. 

 

	12.	PUBLICITY. 

 12.1 Neither Party shall issue any press release, publicity statement or other public notice relating to the this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld) unless required under applicable securities laws or regulations of any applicable securities exchange or by order of any applicable bankruptcy court; provided however, that any Party so required to disclose any such
information shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other parties prior to making any such disclosure. 
  

	13.	GENERAL. 

 13.1 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Neither Party
by virtue of this Agreement is authorized to bind the other Party or to act as an agent, employee or legal representative of the other Party, and the relationship of the parties is, and at all times will continue to be, that of independent
contractors. 
 13.2 Governing Law/Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of California,
without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require application of another law. In the event that a dispute arises under this Agreement, the parties agree that such dispute shall be exclusively resolved by the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, which shall retain jurisdiction over the Parties and this matter for the purposes of resolving disputes. 
 13.3 Notices. All notices and other communications permitted or required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally; mailed by registered or certified mail,

 Exhibit 10(c) 
 SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION 
 PAYABLE TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

 Director Fees. The cash compensation payable to Sherwin-Williams’ non-employee directors is as
follows: 
  

	 	•	 	 An annual cash retainer of $85,000; 

  

	 	•	 	 An additional annual cash retainer of $21,000 for the Lead Director; 

 

	 	•	 	 An additional annual cash retainer of $21,000 for the chair of the Audit Committee; 

 

	 	•	 	 An additional annual cash retainer of $21,000 for the chair of the Compensation and Management Development Committee; 

 

	 	•	 	 An additional annual cash retainer of $15,000 for the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and 

 

	 	•	 	 A meeting fee of $1,750 for each Board or Committee meeting attended in excess of twelve meetings during a calendar year. For purposes of calculating
the number of meetings during a calendar year, any Board and Committee meetings held within 24 hours shall constitute one meeting. 

 All retainer amounts are payable in quarterly installments in advance. All meeting fees are payable on the date of the meeting. 
 In addition, non-employee directors receive an annual grant of restricted stock of approximately $95,000, valued over a prior 90-day period, under The Sherwin-Williams Company 2006 Stock Plan for
Nonemployee Directors. 
 Other Benefits. All directors are reimbursed for reasonable travel and other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and of committees of the Board of Directors. 
 Sherwin-Williams pays the premiums for liability insurance and business travel accident insurance for all directors, including $225,000 accidental death and dismemberment coverage and $225,000 permanent
total disability coverage, while the directors are traveling on Sherwin-Williams’ business. 
 Directors may also receive
the same discounts as Sherwin-Williams’ employees on the purchase of products at Sherwin-Williams’ stores and are eligible to participate in Sherwin-Williams’ matching gifts on the same basis as employees. These programs provide for
annual matches for gifts of up to $5,000 under the matching gifts to education program and $1,000 under the matching gifts for volunteer leaders program, as well as annual grants of up to $200 under the grants for volunteers program. 

 Deferral of Director Fees. In accordance with the Director Deferred Fee Plan,
directors may elect to defer all or a part of their retainer and meeting fees. Deferred fees may be credited in a common stock account, a shadow stock account or an interest bearing cash account. The value of the shadow stock account reflects
changes in the market price of Sherwin-Williams common stock and the payment of dividend equivalents at the same rate as paid on the common stock. Amounts deferred may be distributed either in annual installments over a period up to ten years or in
a lump sum pursuant to a director’s payment election. Amounts credited to a shadow stock account are distributed in cash.
