Each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or the Affiliates shall be eligible to participate in the Plan as of the first day he/she begins service on the Board, by electing to defer the Board member’s Directors Fees in accordance with the following provisions of the Plan. Section 4. ELECTION TO DEFER COMPENSATION. (a) In General. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 4, any election by an eligible individual to defer Director’s Fees for services performed during any calendar year may be deferred under the Plan only if the Deferral Election is filed no later than the last day of the preceding calendar year. (b) Initial Participation. For the first calendar year in which an individual becomes eligible to participate in any of the Related Plans, the individual may make an initial Deferral Election to participate in this Plan, provided that such election must be made by filing a Deferral Election to defer the Director’s Fees within 30 days after the date the individual initially becomes eligible to participate in any of the Related Plans, and may only apply with respect to the Director’s Fees paid for services to be performed after the election is filed. If an election is filed after the beginning of a Performance Period, the election may apply to no more than an amount equal to the total amount of the Director’s Fees for that Performance Period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the Performance Period after the election over the total number of days in the Performance Period. (c) Date of Filing. For purposes of this Section 4, a Deferral Election will be deemed to be filed on the later of the date it is filed with the Administrator or the date on which it becomes irrevocable. In the case of a Deferral Election described in paragraph (b) above that is with respect to the date an individual initially becomes eligible to participate in any of the Related Plans, and in the absence of provisions in the Deferral Election to the contrary, (i) if the Deferral Election is filed on or before such initial eligibility date, it will be considered to become irrevocable on the date such individual initially becomes eligible to participate in any of the Related Plans, and (ii) if the Deferral Election is filed after such initial eligibility date, it will be considered to become irrevocable on the 30th day after such initial eligibility date. An election shall be considered to be irrevocable for any year as of the date it can no longer be changed with respect to Director’s Fees for that year. 

 

4 US-DOCS\73613805.1 (d) Determination of Eligibility. For purposes of paragraph (b) above, an individual is deemed to be eligible to participate in any of the Related Plans at any time during which, under the respective plan’s terms and without further amendment or action by the plan sponsor, the individual is eligible to accrue an amount of deferred compensation (as that term is used in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(a)(7)) under the plan other than earnings on amounts previously deferred, even if the individual has elected not to accrue (or has not elected to accrue) an amount of deferred compensation under that plan. (e) Withdrawal From Plan for Future Director’s Fees. A Participant’s Deferral Election for any calendar year shall remain in effect for each subsequent calendar year unless it is modified or revoked prior to the first day of the calendar year as to which the modification or revocation applies. Such modification or revocation may be effected by submitting a completed notice of modification and withdrawal on the election form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Elections with respect to any calendar year shall be irrevocable during that calendar year. Section 5. DEFERRED FEE ACCOUNT. A Deferred Fee Account shall be maintained for each Participant electing to receive interest on his or her Deferred Fees. Cash and interest thereon shall be credited to a Participant’s Deferred Fee Account as set forth in the following paragraph. Until the Valuation Date preceding payment of the Deferred Fees to a Participant in accordance with Section 7, all amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferred Fee Account shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the twenty-year U.S. Government bond rate in effect on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Interest shall be compounded monthly, and shall be accrued as of the last day of each calendar month (a “Valuation Date” with respect to the Deferred Fee Account). As promptly as practicable following the close of each Quarter, a statement will be sent to each Participant reflecting the balance in his or her Deferred Fee Account as of the end of such Quarter. Section 6. PHANTOM STOCK ACCOUNT. A Participant may elect to invest all or a portion of his or her Deferred Fees in units of phantom stock. In such case, the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account will be credited each Quarter in which his or her election remains in effect with the number of units of phantom stock equal to the result obtained by dividing the portion of the Quarterly Deferral Amount to be invested in phantom stock by the average of the high and low price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of each Quarter. Until distribution as provided herein, the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account will be credited with additional units of phantom stock representing dividends declared on the Company’s common stock based on the average of the high and low price of such stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date such dividend is paid. The last day of each Quarter shall be a “Valuation Date” with respect to the Phantom Stock Account. The Phantom Stock Account will be merely a bookkeeping entry on the Company’s books so that no trust or escrow arrangement will be used and the Participant will remain a general, unsecured 

 

5 US-DOCS\73613805.1 creditor with respect to his or her account. As promptly as practicable following the end of each Quarter, a statement will be sent to each Participant reflecting the balance in his or her Phantom Stock Account as of the end of such month. Section 7. PAYMENT OF DEFERRED FEES. (a) Distributions Pursuant to Participant’s Elections. (i) By filing a Distribution Election, a Participant may elect to receive distribution of benefits under the Plan in (A) a lump sum in a specified calendar year, or in annual installments, not to exceed ten, commencing in a specified calendar year, provided that such year of payment or commencement, respectively, may not be later than the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs, or (B) in a lump sum that is made, or in annual installments, not to exceed ten, that commence in the calendar year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs, or in the first or second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs. Subject to Section 7(e)(iv) and to the following sentence, distribution to be made in any year in accordance with this Section 7 shall be made on February 15 of that calendar year; provided that if the distribution is to be made in the calendar year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs, distribution shall be made on the Participant’s Termination Date. A Participant’s Distribution Election may also specify that distribution of Plan benefits will be accelerated to the date of a Change in Control Event. (ii) A director may elect a different time of payment for benefits attributable to fees for each different calendar year of service, provided that the Distribution Election applicable to fees attributable to services for any calendar year must be filed no later than the date for filing the Deferral Election for such fees. (iii) In the absence of filing a timely Distribution Election for fees deferred under the Plan for any calendar year, distribution of amounts attributable to that year shall be paid in a lump sum on the Participant’s Termination Date. (b) Distributions Upon Death of Participant. If a Participant’s Termination Date occurs on or after January 1, 2005 by reason of death, or if a Participant dies prior to having received all annual installments otherwise scheduled to be paid to him under this Section 7, the Participant’s executor or administrator will receive a lump sum payment equal to the Account balances determined as of the Valuation Date next prior to the date of actual distribution. Subject to Section (e)(iv) below, such payment shall be made within 30 days after the date of death. (c) Distributions Upon Occurrence of Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request the Administrator to allow withdrawal from the Participant’s Accounts in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local, 

 

6 US-DOCS\73613805.1 or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). However, in making the determination of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, the Administrator is not required to take into account any additional compensation that due to the Unforeseeable Emergency is available under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan but has not actually been paid, or that is available due to the Unforeseeable Emergency under another plan that would provide for deferred compensation except due to the application of the effective date provisions under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-6. (d) Distributions to Specified Employees. If a Participant is a Specified Employee at the Participant’s Termination Date, and distribution is made to the Participant by reason of the occurrence of such Termination Date, distributions of benefits under the Plan may not be made before the date that is six months after the Participant’s Termination Date or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant. At the end of the six-month period described in the preceding sentence, amounts that could not be paid by reason of the limitation in this Section (d) shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Termination Date. (e) General Distribution Rules. Distributions of amounts under the Plan are subject to the following: (i) Amount of Lump Sum Distributions. If a Participant’s Account balances are to be distributed in a lump sum in accordance with this Section 7, the distribution shall be comprised of: (A) a cash payment equal to the amount credited to the Participant’s Deferred Fee Account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made; plus (B) shares of the Company’s common stock equal in amount to the number of units of phantom stock credited to the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account of as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made. If, after the Valuation Date used to determine the amount of cash and number of shares to be distributed, additional amounts of cash or phantom units are credited to the Participant’s Accounts, such amounts (including shares of stock with respect to the Phantom Stock Account) shall be distributed as soon as practicable after being credited. (ii) Amount of Annual Installment Distributions. If a Participant’s Account balances are to be distributed in annual installments in accordance with this Section 7, each annual installment distribution shall be comprised of: (A) a cash payment equal to the amount credited to the Participant’s Deferred Fee Account of as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the total number of annual installments elected minus the number of annual installments, if any, previously paid; plus (B) shares of the Company’s common stock equal in amount to the number of units of phantom stock credited to the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account of as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which 

 

7 US-DOCS\73613805.1 shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the total number of annual installments elected minus the number of annual installments, if any, previously distributed, provided that any fractional units of phantom stock shall be paid in cash. If, after the Valuation Date used to determine the amount of cash and number of shares to be distributed as the final installment, additional amounts of cash or phantom units are credited to the Participant’s Accounts under the Plan, such amounts (including shares of stock with respect to the Phantom Stock Account) shall be distributed as soon as practicable after being credited. If Participant’s Account balances are to be distributed in annual installments in accordance with this Section 7 but such Account balances are less than the applicable annual elective deferral limits set by the Internal Revenue Service, the distribution shall instead be made in a single lump sum cash payment. (iii) Deferrals During Year of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, it is recited that Director’s Fees that are deferred with respect to any calendar year shall be allocated to the Participant’s Accounts in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan, regardless of whether the Participant’s Termination Date occurs during that year. (iv) Permitted Date of Distribution. For purposes of Code section 409A, a distribution will be considered to be made under the Plan as of the date specified in the Plan if it is made no later than the end of the calendar year in which such date occurs or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following that specified date, provided that the Participant is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph (iv) are intended to conform the payments under this Plan to the requirements of Code section 409A, and shall not be construed to permit delay by the Company of payment of amounts due earlier in accordance with this Agreement. (v) Fractional Shares. Cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional share of Company stock that would otherwise be distributed with respect to the Phantom Stock Account. (vi) Application of Section 7. Distributions from a Participant’s Deferred Fee Account and/or Phantom Stock Account may only be made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7. Section 8. PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS UNSECURED. No fund is to be created to meet payment obligations under this Plan, and the right of a Participant to receive any unpaid portion of any amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferred Fee Account and/or Phantom Stock Account shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. Section 9. NON-ASSIGNABILITY. The right of a Participant to receive any unpaid portion of any amounts credited to his or her Deferred Fee Account and/or Phantom Stock Account shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered or be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation, except that a Participant may designate, on forms provided by the Company, a beneficiary to receive benefits under the 

 

8 US-DOCS\73613805.1 Plan in the event of such Participant’s death. If there is no beneficiary designation in effect for a Participant, or if there is no surviving designated beneficiary, then the benefits specified hereunder shall be distributed in accordance with the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Section 10. ADMINISTRATION. The “Administrator” of this Plan shall be the Senior Vice President, Human Resources of the Company, who shall have authority to adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan and to interpret and implement the provisions hereof. Section 11. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION This Plan may at any time be amended, modified or terminated by the Board. No amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect such Participant’s rights with respect to amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferred Fee Account and/or Phantom Stock Account. No such amendment, modification, or termination shall be adopted or effective if it would result in accelerated recognition of income or imposition of additional tax under Code section 409A or, except as otherwise provided in the amendment, would cause amounts that were not otherwise subject to Code section 409A to become subject to section 409A.amendeddirectorsphantoms

(ii) The relationship as a director will be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on a bona fide leave of absence (determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h)). (j) Unforeseeable Emergency.

3 US-DOCS\73613336.4 Section 5. DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) Distributions Pursuant to Participant’s Elections. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 5, including without limitation paragraph 5(e)(iii), a Participant’s benefits will be distributed in a lump sum within 30 days after the Quarter in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs. (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, by filing a Distribution Election, a Participant may elect to receive distribution of benefits under the Plan in annual installments, not to exceed ten, that commence within 30 days after the Quarter in which Participant’s Termination Date occurs, subject to Section 5(a)(ii) below. A Participant’s Distribution Election may also specify that distribution of Plan benefits will be accelerated to the date of a Change in Control Event, subject to the requirements of Section 5(a)(ii). Subject to Section 5(e)(iv), distribution to be made in any year in accordance with this Section 5 shall be made on February 15 of that calendar year. (ii) With respect to the balance of a Participant’s Phantom Stock Account on January 31, 2017 (the “Prior Accounts”) any Distribution Election (A) will not be effective until twelve months after the date the Distribution Election is filed with the Administrator, (B) may not commence distribution of the Prior Accounts prior to 30 days after the end of the Quarter in which the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s Termination Date occurs and (C) will in all events be made and administered in compliance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(b). (iii) A Participant may make one Distribution Election for Prior Accounts and one Distribution Election for Quarterly Phantom Stock Amounts credited after January 1, 2017.  For the first calendar year in which an individual becomes eligible to participate in any of the Plan, the individual may make a Distribution Election, provided that such election must be made within 30 days after the date the individual initially becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, and may only apply with respect to Quarterly Phantom Stock Amounts paid for services to be performed after the election is filed.  If an election is filed after the beginning of a Quarter, the election may apply to no more than an amount equal to the total amount of the Phantom Stock Account for that Quarter multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the Quarter after the election over the total number of days in the Quarter and the full amount of Quarterly Phantom Stock Amounts earned for all subsequent Quarters.  A Distribution Election will be deemed to be filed on the later of the date it is filed with the Administrator or the date on which it becomes irrevocable.  If a Distribution Election is filed on or before the date a director first becomes eligible for participation in the Plan, it will be considered to become irrevocable on the date such individual initially becomes a Participant, and if the Distribution Election is filed after such initial eligibility date, it will be considered to become irrevocable on the 30th day after such initial eligibility date.  (b) Distributions Upon Death of Participant.   If a Participant dies prior to having received all annual installments otherwise scheduled to be distributed to him under this Section 5, the Participant’s executor or administrator will 

 

4 US-DOCS\73613336.4 receive the balance of the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account in a lump sum within 30 days after the Quarter in which the Participant’s death occurs.  (c) Distributions to Specified Employees. If a Participant is a Specified Employee at the Participant’s Termination Date, and distribution is made to the Participant by reason of the occurrence of such Termination Date, distributions of benefits under the Plan may not be made before the date that is six months after the Participant’s Termination Date or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant. At the end of the six-month period described in the preceding sentence, amounts that could not be paid by reason of the limitation in this Section (c) shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Termination Date. (d) Distributions Upon Occurrence of Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request the Administrator to allow withdrawal from the Participant’s Accounts in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). However, in making the determination of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, the Administrator is not required to take into account any additional compensation that due to the Unforeseeable Emergency is available under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan but has not actually been paid, or that is available due to the Unforeseeable Emergency under another plan that would provide for deferred compensation except due to the application of the effective date provisions under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-6. (e) General Distribution Rules. Distributions of amounts under the Plan are subject to the following: (i) Amount of Lump Sum Distributions. Distribution of a Participant’s benefits under the Plan shall be in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Incentive Award Plan or any shareholder-approved successor plan thereto equal in amount to the number of units of phantom stock credited to the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made. If, after the Valuation Date used to determine the number of shares to be distributed, additional phantom units are credited to the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account, shares of stock with respect to the additional phantom units shall be distributed as soon as practicable after being credited. (ii) Amount of Annual Installment Distributions.  If a Participant’s Phantom Stock Account is to be distributed in annual installments in accordance with this Section 5, each annual installment distribution shall be comprised of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Incentive Award Plan or any shareholder-approved successor plan thereto equal in amount to the number of units 

 

5 US-DOCS\73613336.4 of phantom stock credited to the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the total number of annual installments elected minus the number of annual installments, if any, previously paid. If, after the Valuation Date used to determine the number of shares to be distributed as the final installment, additional phantom units are credited to the Participant’s Phantom Stock Account, shares of stock with respect to the additional phantom units shall be distributed as soon as practicable after being credited. If Participant’s Phantom Stock Account is to be distributed in annual installments in accordance with this Section 5 but such Phantom Stock Account balance has a value based on the average of the high and low price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day prior to any distribution that is less than the applicable annual elective deferral limits set by the Internal Revenue Service, the distribution shall instead be made in a single distribution of Company common stock. (iii) Deferrals During Year of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, it is recited that phantom units with respect to any calendar year shall be allocated to the Participant’s Accounts in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan, regardless of whether the Participant’s Termination Date occurs during that year. (iv) Permitted Date of Distribution. For purposes of Code section 409A, a distribution will be considered to be made under the Plan as of the date specified in the Plan if it is made no later than the end of the calendar year in which such date occurs or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following that specified date, provided that the Participant is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment.
