Exhibit 10.2.27

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 4, 2022 (the “Grant Date”) by and between MGIC Investment Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), and ___________________ (the “Director”). Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified in Exhibit A to this Agreement or the MGIC Investment Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
1.             Award of RSUs.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company awards to the Director 8,085.3816 restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
2.             Release Date; Termination of Service as a Result of Death or Disability.  The RSUs shall be settled by the issuance of one share of Stock per RSU on the “Release Date,” which, subject to any deferral election made with respect to the RSUs under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, shall be the date that is ten business days following February 1 of the year immediately following the year in which the RSUs are granted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Director’s service is terminated because of death or permanent and total disability (as determined by the Company in its discretion on the basis of the definition set forth in Code Section 22(e)(3)), then the Release Date for the RSUs shall accelerate and shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after such death or disability.   
3.             Transfer After Release Date; Securities Law Restrictions. The Director agrees and acknowledges with respect to any Stock delivered in settlement of RSUs that has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and that, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, absent such registration cannot be publicly sold or otherwise disposed of, (i) the Director will not sell or otherwise dispose of such Stock except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, or in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, is exempt from such registration, and (ii) a legend may be placed on the certificates or other evidence for the Stock delivered in settlement of the RSUs to such effect. 
4.             Beneficiary.          
                (a)           The Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the Stock to be delivered in settlement of RSUs following the death of the Director. The Director may from time to time revoke or change his or her Beneficiary without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by making a new designation in the Beneficiary System.  The last such designation made shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Beneficiary System prior to the Director’s death, and in no event shall any designation be effective as of a date prior to such receipt.
(b)           If no such Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of a Director’s death, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Director or if such designation conflicts with law, upon the death of the Director, the Director’s estate shall be entitled to receive the Stock to be delivered in settlement of RSUs.  If the Company is in doubt as to the right of any person to receive such property, the Company may retain the same and any distributions thereon, without liability for any interest thereon, until the Company determines the person entitled thereto, or the Company may deliver such property and any distributions thereon to any court of appropriate jurisdiction and such delivery shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Company therefor.
5.             Voting, Dividend and Other Rights of RSUs.
(a)           Voting and Other Rights of RSUs.  RSUs represent only the right to receive Stock on the terms provided in this Agreement.  The Director shall have no rights as a holder of Stock, including the right to vote or to receive dividends, until evidence for such Stock is actually delivered in settlement of RSUs.  
(b)           Dividend Rights.  Notwithstanding the preceding subsection, whenever cash dividends or other distributions are paid by the Company on its outstanding shares of Stock, there shall be credited under this Agreement additional RSUs equal to (i) the aggregate dividend or distribution that would be payable on a number of outstanding shares of Stock equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Agreement on the record date for the dividend divided by (ii) the closing price per share of Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day immediately preceding the date of payment of the dividend.  If, after the record date and before the payment date for a cash dividend or other distribution that would otherwise result in crediting of additional RSUs under the foregoing, the RSUs to which such distribution relates are settled in shares of Stock, then the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the amount of the distribution for each such RSU with respect to which such distribution was made.     

6.             Tax Withholding.  
(a)           It shall be a condition of the obligation of the Company to deliver Stock in settlement of RSUs that the Director shall pay the Company upon its demand, such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying its liability, if any, to withhold federal, state, or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of the award of the RSUs or the delivery of Stock in settlement of the RSUs. The withholding tax obligation arising from the settlement of RSUs shall be satisfied through a withholding by the Company of a sufficient number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be delivered to the director.
(b)           To the extent provided in the resolutions awarding RSUs subject to this Agreement, and subject to applicable law and accounting rules, the Director shall be entitled to deliver cash or have a number of shares of Stock withheld in excess of the minimum amount required to be withheld by the Company. 
7.             Adjustments in Event of Change in Stock or Fiscal Year.  In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Stock that occurs after the date of this Agreement but before the Release Date, the number of RSUs shall be proportionally adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares resulting from such event, any such adjustment rounded down to the next lower whole share. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock for any other reason, including but not limited to, any recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar event which, in the judgment of the Committee, could distort the implementation of the award of RSUs or the realization of the objectives of such award, the Committee shall make such adjustments in the RSUs, or in the terms, conditions or restrictions of this Agreement as the Committee deems equitable.  In addition, if the Company changes its fiscal year from a year ending December 31, the Committee may make such adjustments in the Release Date as the Committee deems equitable. The determination of the Committee as to any such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Agreement.
8.             Powers of Company Not Affected; No Right to Continued Service.
(a)           The existence of the RSUs shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any combination, subdivision or reclassification of the Stock or any reorganization, merger, consolidation, business combination, exchange of shares, or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any issue of bonds, debentures or stock having rights or preferences equal, superior or affecting any property to be issued in settlement of RSUs or the rights thereof, or dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 
(b)           Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company.  
9.             Interpretation by Committee.  The Director agrees that any dispute or disagreement which may arise in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and that any interpretation by the Committee of the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and any determination made by the Committee under this Agreement or the Plan may be made in the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  Any such determination need not be uniform and may be made differently among participants awarded RSUs.
10.          Miscellaneous.  
(a)           This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein between residents thereof.
(b)           The waiver by the Company of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or waiver of any other provision hereof.              
(c)           The RSUs shall be deemed to have been awarded pursuant to the Plan and the action of the Committee authorizing such awards; as a result, such awards are subject to the terms and conditions thereof.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the provisions of the Plan or such authorization, the provisions of the Plan (to such extent) and/or such authorization shall prevail. A copy of the Plan is available on request of the Director made in writing (including by e-mail) to the Company’s Secretary.
(d)           Any notice, filing or delivery hereunder or with respect to RSUs shall be given to the Director at his or her home address as indicated in the records of the Company, and shall be given to the Committee or the Company at 250 East Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee 53202, Attention: Secretary.  All such notices shall be given by first class mail, postage pre‐paid, or by personal delivery.

(e)           This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Director, the Beneficiary and the personal representative(s) and heirs of the Director, except that the Director may not transfer any RSUs or any interest in any RSUs.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized signer as of the day and year set forth above.

Article I
PURPOSE
1.1.Effective Date
.  HANGER, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively referred to herein as the “Employer”), established this Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), as of the Effective Date.  The Plan was previously amended and restated as of January 1, 2005, to conform to the requirements of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and new Code Section 409A, and was further revised effective as of January 1, 2011, to change the formula for determining the accrued benefits due to employees who initially become participants on or after January 1, 2011.   The Plan is now amended and restated to reflect the current name of the Company and to make other ministerial changes to the Plan.  
1.2.Purpose
.  The purpose of the Plan is to promote the best interests of the Company and Company stockholders by attracting and retaining key management employees having a strong interest in the success of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and encouraging their service, loyalty and good counsel.
1.3.Legal Compliance
.  It is the intention of the Company:
(a)That the Plan and all elections, deferrals, rights and features, notwithstanding any written terms or provisions to the contrary, be operated in good faith compliance with Code Section 409A; and
(b)That the Plan will be amended or restated retroactively to January 1, 2005, or any later appropriate date, if necessary and without requiring the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary, in order that the Plan be in compliance with Code Section 409A; and
(c)That the Plan shall at all times be administered and interpreted in such a manner as to constitute an unfunded Plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, so as to qualify for all available exemptions from the provisions of Title I of ERISA; and 
(d)That the Plan constitutes a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for all purposes of Code Section 3121(v)(2) (“Special Timing Rule”) and 4 U. S. C. Section 114 (“Pension Source Act”).
Article II

1.1.“Accrued Benefit”
 means the annual benefit amount calculated pursuant to Article VI.

If the rate of Base Salary changes during a calendar year the higher rate shall be annualized to determine Base Salary for the year.
1.5.“Beneficiary”
 means the person or entity designated by a Participant to be his or her beneficiary for purposes of receiving benefits under the Plan in the event the Participant dies before receiving payment in full of the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit.

If a Participant designates his or her Spouse as a Beneficiary, such Beneficiary designation automatically shall become null and void on the date of the Participant’s divorce or legal separation from such Spouse.  If a valid Beneficiary designation is not in effect at the time of the Participant’s death, the estate of the Participant is deemed to be the sole Beneficiary.  If the Administrator is uncertain as to the identity of the Participant’s Beneficiary, the Administrator may deem the estate of the Participant to be the sole Beneficiary.

1.12.“Employer” 
means the Company and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates.  
1.13.“ERISA”
 means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and as interpreted by regulations and rulings issued pursuant to ERISA.  Any references to a specific provision shall be deemed to include references to any successor ERISA provision.

1.18.“Separation from Service”
 means an employee’s last day of work or, if later, the expiration date of any required notice period applicable to the employee; provided, however, that no Separation from Service shall be deemed to have occurred earlier than the date as of which the employee has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, including Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h), determined by applying the default rules thereof.
3

1.19.“Spouse”
 means the surviving spouse of the Participant, as such term is defined in the law of the State of residency of the Participant, and within the meaning of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (Pub. L. 104-99), at the applicable time.
1.20.“Year of Credited Service”
 means twelve (12) full months of employment with the Employer measured from a Participant’s initial coverage date (as that term is described in Article VI).  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator to be a greater amount, service for this purpose is limited to regular, full-time salaried employment by the Employer, including periods of authorized leave of absence.  Effective January 1, 2006, any period following a Participant’s termination of employment date with the Employer during which the Participant is entitled to wage continuation payments, severance pay, or separation pay shall be deemed for this purpose to be an authorized leave of absence and employment after a Participant’s initial coverage date of fewer than twelve (12) full months shall be counted as a pro rata Year of Credited Service.
1.21.“Year of Vesting Service”
 means twelve (12) full months of employment with the Employer measured from an employee’s most recent employment date with the Employer.

Article III
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
1.1.Administrator
.  The Committee shall appoint the Administrator, who shall administer the Plan for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries, subject to the terms of the Plan.  The Administrator shall administer the Plan in accordance with its terms and shall have the power and discretion to construe the terms of the Plan and to determine all questions arising in connection with the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan.  The Administrator may establish procedures, correct any defect, or reconcile any inconsistency in such manner and to such extent as is deemed necessary or advisable to carry out the purposes of the Plan.  Prior to a Change in Control, all actions by the Administrator shall be binding on all persons unless they are arbitrary or capricious.  The standard of review of Administrator actions following a Change in Control shall be the less deferential de novo standard of review.
1.2.Administrator Duties
.  The Administrator is responsible for the general administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to the following:
(a)The discretion to determine matters of eligibility of employees to participate or remain a Participant and to receive Plan benefits;
4

(b)To determine the amount of benefits payable on behalf of a Participant;
(c)To maintain Plan records;
(d)To interpret the Plan and adopt rules for Plan administration; and
(e)To assist Participants and Beneficiaries regarding their rights and benefits under the Plan.
1.3.Information
.  The Employer shall provide to the Administrator all information necessary to the administration of the Plan.  The Administrator may rely on such information as is supplied by the Employer and shall have no duty to verify such information.
1.4.Claims Procedure
.  A claim for benefits shall be deemed filed when the Administrator receives written notice from either the person claiming a benefit (hereafter referred to as “claimant”), or an Employer, that a Participant has either retired, died, or terminated the Participant’s employment for any other reason.  Upon receipt of this written notice, the Administrator shall determine the benefits, if any, payable to the claimant.  The Administrator shall communicate in writing to the claimant the benefits, if any, so determined within ninety (90) days after the date the Administrator receives the written notice described above that a claim has been filed.  If special circumstances require, the 90-day period set forth in the preceding sentence may be extended up to a period of ninety (90) additional days, provided the Administrator furnishes the claimant a written notice, prior to the expiration of the initial 90-day period, of the extension, specifying the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Administrator expects to determine the benefits payable, if any.
If any claim for benefits is subject to a dispute or is partially or wholly denied, the Administrator shall provide the claimant a written notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant the specific reason(s) for the benefit determination made by the Administrator; specific reference(s) to pertinent Plan provisions on which the benefit determination is based; a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; necessary information as to the requirements for submitting the disputed claim for a review; and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination.
A claimant who, upon receipt of the written notice described in the preceding paragraph, desires a review of the benefit determination made by the Administrator must file not later than sixty (60) days (subject to circumstantial extensions) after such receipt a written request for a review of the benefit determination.  Such written request must be filed with the Committee.  The requested review shall be conducted by the Committee in such a manner so as to provide the claimant a full and fair review of the claimant’s claim and the initial determination.  Upon receipt by the Committee of a written request for such a review, the Committee shall advise the claimant in writing that the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative, may review documents pertinent to the disputed claim and the claimant may submit written issues and comments to the Committee for consideration during the review.
5

The Committee shall review the disputed claim and render a decision not later than sixty (60) days following the receipt by the Committee of the written request for a review, unless special circumstances require an extension of the time for processing, in which case the decision shall be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following such receipt.  A written notice of any such extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension.
The Committee shall render its decision on review in writing to the claimant within the applicable time period set forth above (but not later than five (5) days after the determination is made) and shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, as well as references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.  Should the Committee fail to render its decision within the applicable time period the claim shall be deemed to have been denied.
“Written notice” includes electronic notification meeting the requirements of ERISA regulation 2520.104b-1(c)(1)(i), (iii), and (iv).
1.5.Indemnification
.  The Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Administrator from any liability which the Administrator may incur in connection with the performance of his or her duties in connection with this Plan, so long as the Administrator has not acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner prior to a Change in Control (or was acting in good faith after a Change in Control) and within what the Administrator understood to be the scope of his or her duties.
Article IV

ENTITLEMENT TO ACCRUED BENEFIT

In addition, the Committee is authorized to increase the applicable percentage set forth in the Participant’s Table, described in Article VI, for a Participant who is promoted.
1.2.Entitlement to Accrued Benefits
.  Subject to Section 4.3, and the small payment rules in Section 7.4, a Participant shall be entitled to the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit upon the first to occur of:

1.3.Forfeiture for Certain Reasons
.  Notwithstanding Section 4.2 or any other Plan provision, one hundred percent (100%) of a Participant’s unpaid Accrued Benefit shall be forfeited and not eligible for payment if the Committee determines as of the Participant’s termination of employment, or subsequently, that either of the following has occurred:
6

(a)The Participant, in a willful and continuous manner, failed to discharge the Participant’s duties and responsibilities as an employee after having been given notice and an opportunity to cure; the Participant committed a material act of dishonesty involving the Employer; or the Participant was convicted of a felony; or
(b)The Participant materially violated any confidentiality agreement or other covenant restricting actions detrimental to the Employer as set forth in written agreements entered into by the Employer and the Participant.  
Article V
VESTING
1.1.Vesting
.  A Participant’s entitlement to his or her Accrued Benefit hereunder vests and becomes nonforfeitable (except as provided in Section 4.3) at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per Year of Vesting Service.  The Committee may apply a shorter vesting schedule in the case of any Participant, should it choose to do so.
1.2.Forfeiture If Not Vested
.  If Separation from Service occurs before the Participant is vested in any Accrued Benefits, no benefits are payable hereunder.
Article VI
AMOUNT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT
1.1.Amount of Accrued Benefit

(a)with respect to a Participant whose initial coverage date was prior to January 1, 2011, the Participant’s Final Average Salary multiplied by the applicable percentage, as determined by the Committee and set out in the Participants’ Table I, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, multiplied by a fraction determined as follows:  
(i)If a Participant’s initial coverage date (determined by the Committee and set out in the Participants’ Table) occurs on or before the Participant’s forty-fifth (45th) birthday, the numerator of the fraction shall be the Participant’s total number of Years of Credited Service as of the Participant’s termination of employment or twenty (20) Years of Credited Service (whichever is less) and the denominator shall be twenty (20) Years of Credited Service.
(ii)If a Participant’s initial coverage date (as described in (i)) occurs after the Participant’s forty-fifth (45th) birthday, the numerator of the fraction shall be the maximum number of Years of Credited Service that could be completed between the Participant’s initial Plan coverage date and the Participant’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday or, if less, the Participant’s total number of Years of Credited Service as of the 
7

Participant’s termination of employment, and the denominator shall be the maximum number of Years of Credited Service that could be completed between the Participant’s initial Plan coverage date and the Participant’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday. 
(b)with respect to a Participant whose initial coverage date (determined by the Committee and set out in the Participants’ Table II) is on or after January 1, 2011, the Participant’s Final Average Salary multiplied by two percent (2%) (or such different percentage, as determined by the Committee and set out in the Participants’ Table II, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference), multiplied by the Participant’s total number of Years of Credited Service as of the Participant’s termination of employment; provided that in no event shall the amount of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit determined under this subsection (b) exceed forty percent (40%) of the Participant’s Final Average Salary.  
Article VII
FORM AND COMMENCEMENT OF
PAYMENTS TO A PARTICIPANT
1.1.Form
.  A Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be paid in the form of a single annual payment for fifteen (15) consecutive calendar years except as otherwise provided in the small payment rules in Section 7.4.
1.2.Commencement
.  Payments shall ordinarily commence on an Employer payroll date in January of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which occurs the earlier of the Participant’s normal or early retirement dates.  However, any benefit payments that would otherwise be payable within six (6) months after the Participant’s Separation from Service shall be accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service (or if earlier, the date of death of the Participant).
1.3.Reduction for Early Commencement
.  Any benefit payments commencing before the Participant has attained age sixty-five (65) shall be reduced to reflect the number of years by which the benefit payment commencement date precedes the date on which normal retirement benefits would have commenced, with the reduction being two percent (2%) per year.  There is no actuarial increase for commencement of payments after the January following attainment of age sixty-five (65).
1.4.Small Payment Rules
.  The following small payment rules are effective on and after January 1, 2006:
(a)Small Present Value at Payment Due Date.  If on any date on which a payment to a Participant is otherwise due under this Article VII, the Present Value of all remaining payments due to the Participant is one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or less, such Present Value amount shall be paid in a lump sum on the payment date to the Participant in full and complete termination of the entirety of the Participant’s interest 
8

in the Plan.  Payment shall be made on the first day of the month following the six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service.  Such dollar amount shall be adjusted not less frequently than once every five (5) years by the Administrator for cost-of-living increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) beginning in 2010.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount paid under this subsection shall not exceed the maximum permitted payment amount described in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).
(b)De Minimis Cash Out Rule at Termination of Employment.  If, as of a Participant’s Separation from Service, the Present Value of the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit is no greater than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), such amount shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum amount in full and complete settlement of the Participant’s interest in the Plan.  Payment shall be made on the first day of the month following the six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service.
1.5.Death While In Pay Status
.  If a Participant who is receiving installment payments of his or her Accrued Benefits dies before payment in full is completed, any remaining installment payments shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary, including when applicable, in accordance with the small payment rule of Section 7.4(a).
1.6.Withholding of Taxes and Amounts Due
.  The Employer shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Employer an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, or to deduct from all payments made pursuant to the Plan (or from a Participant’s other compensation) amounts sufficient to satisfy withholding tax requirements.  Employment taxes with respect to amounts deferred hereunder shall be payable in accordance with Code Section 3121(v)(2) and may be withheld from a Participant’s compensation if due prior to the time of a distribution under the Plan.  In addition, the Employer may deduct from any payment hereunder all amounts owed to the Employer by the Participant for any reason.
1.7.No Representation as to Tax Consequences
.  The Employer makes no representations, warranties, or assurances and assumes no responsibility as to the tax consequences of this Plan.
Article VIII
DEATH BENEFITS BEFORE PAYMENTS COMMENCE
1.1.Amount
.  If a Participant who has a vested interest in his or her Accrued Benefit dies before payment of the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit has commenced, the Beneficiary of the Participant shall be entitled to receive a death benefit hereunder.  The death benefit is equal to the deceased Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit at the time of death.
1.2.Form
9

.  The death benefit shall be paid in the form of a single annual payment for fifteen (15) consecutive calendar years, subject to Section 8.3(b) and the small payment rules of Section 7.4.
1.3.Commencement.  
(a)Upon the death of a Participant eligible for early or normal retirement, death benefit payments shall commence on a payroll date in January of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Participant's death occurs.  Any payments commencing before the Participant would have reached age sixty-five (65) shall be reduced to reflect the number of years by which the benefit payment commencement date precedes the date on which normal retirement benefits would have commenced to the Participant, with the reduction being at the rate of two percent (2%) per year.
(b)Upon the death of a Participant who is not eligible for early or normal retirement at the time of death, the Administrator shall discount to their Present Value the installment payments that would otherwise be payable to the Participant, had the Participant survived to age sixty-five (65), and make payment in full in a single lump sum payment to the Beneficiary.  
Article IX
EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL
1.1.Vesting Accelerated for Active Participants
.  If a Change in Control is determined by the Board to have occurred while a Participant is actively employed by the Employer, the Participant shall be immediately and fully vested in the Participant’s Accrued Benefit determined as of the date of the Change in Control.
1.2.Plan May Be Terminated and Paid Out
.  If a Change in Control is determined by the Board to have occurred then, in the sole discretion of the Board, and subject to Code Section 409A, including specifically the plan termination rules in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix), the Plan may be terminated and the entire Present Value of Accrued Benefits of each Participant be distributed in a lump sum as soon as reasonably possible.  
1.3.Rabbi Trust To Be Established and Funded
.  If a Change in Control is determined by the Board to have occurred, and the Plan is not terminated as described in Section 9.2, the Company shall, no later than thirty (30) days after the Change in Control, pay into an irrevocable grantor trust (sometimes also referred to as a “rabbi trust”), created by the Company for this purpose, an amount so that the trust’s assets are equal to the Present Value of the Accrued Benefits of all Participants determined on the date of the Change in Control, and periodically thereafter pay into the trust any additional amount necessary so that the trust’s assets continue to equal the Present Value of all Accrued Benefits determined at least annually thereafter.  All assets held by such trust shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency.  Insolvency for this purpose means that the Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due or the Company is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
10

Article X
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
1.1.Amendment or Termination by Board
.  There is no time limit on the duration of the Plan.  However, the Company, by action of the Board or its Compensation Committee, may at any time to comply with Code Section 409A or for any reason, amend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 9.3 shall not be amended or in any way curtailed following a Change in Control until all Accrued Benefits as of the date of the Change in Control have been paid.
1.2.No Reduction or Delay of Benefit Payments
.  Except to the extent required for the Plan to comply with Code Section 409A or other applicable law, however, no amendment shall be effective so as to reduce the amount of benefit payable to any Participant or to delay the payment of any amount to a Participant beyond the time that such amount would be payable without regard to such amendment.
1.3.Cash Out on Plan Termination
.  If the Plan is terminated, to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, the Present Value of all Accrued Benefits shall be distributed to Participants in lump sum payments as of the effective date of the Plan termination (or at such other time as permitted by Code Section 409A).
Article XI
MISCELLANEOUS
1.1.Unfunded Plan; Unsecured Liability
.  This Plan is unfunded and is maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.  The Company may authorize creation of a trust or other arrangements to assist the Company in meeting its obligations under the Plan.  However, any liability to any person with respect to the Plan shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created pursuant to the Plan.  Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to its terms shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between any Employer and the Participant, or any other person.  The right of the Participant to receive benefits hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Participant’s Employer and neither the Participant nor any other person shall have any rights in or against any amounts which may be earmarked by the Employer in order to implement this Plan or any other specific assets of the Employer. 
1.2.No Contract of Employment
.  The Plan is an expression of the Company’s current policy with respect to Company executives who meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the Plan.  The Plan is not a contract of employment, nor does it provide any Participant with a right to continue in the employment of the Employer.  No Participant, Beneficiary or other person shall have any legal or other right to any benefit payments except in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and then only while the Plan is in effect and subject to the Company’s right to amend or terminate the Plan.
1.3.Nonalienation of Benefits; Offset
.  
11

(a)The right of a Participant or any other person to the payment of benefits under this Plan shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered except as otherwise provided by law, and no rights or benefits hereunder shall be subject to attachment or legal process for or against a Participant or his or her Beneficiary.
(b)If, at the time a payment is due hereunder, the Company determines that the Participant is indebted or obligated to the Company or any subsidiary or other affiliate thereof (including, but not limited to, for amounts owed as a result of the Participant’s breach of his or her fiduciary duty owed to, or breach of any restrictive covenant in effect with, the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate), then the payment to be made to or with respect to such Participant (including a payment to the Beneficiary thereof) may, at the discretion of the Company, be reduced by the amount of such indebtedness or obligation; provided, however, that an election by the Company to not reduce any such payment shall not constitute a waiver of its claim for such indebtedness or obligation.  
1.4.Effect on Retirement Plans
.  Any benefits accrued pursuant to this Plan shall not be deemed compensation to the Participant for the purpose of computing benefits under any qualified retirement plan or other benefit plan, whether qualified or nonqualified, which may be maintained by the Employer.
1.5.Severability
.  If any of the provisions of the Plan shall be held to be invalid, or shall be determined to be inconsistent with the purpose of the Plan, the remainder of the Plan shall not be affected thereby.
1.6.Merger, Consolidation or Acquisition
.  This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participants and their heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives.
1.7.Governing Law
.  This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware to the extent not preempted by federal law.
1.8.Binding Effect
.  This document and any amendments hereto contain all the terms and provisions of the Plan and shall constitute the entire Plan, any other alleged terms or provisions being of no effect.  Obligations incurred by the Employer pursuant to this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Participant, his or her Beneficiaries, personal representatives, heirs and legatees.
