ARTICLE V

TIME AND FORM OF PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

5.01 Time of Payment of Account

Executive may elect, at the time he completes his Deferral Election form for a Deferral Year, to have the portion of his Account attributable to Base Salary deferred for such Deferral Year paid (i) at the time of his Separation from Service; (ii) on a specified date; or (iii) on the earliest of the Executive’s Separation from Service, Change in Control, upon an anniversary of a Change in Control or a specified date. In the event Executive fails to make an election under this Section 5.01 on a Deferral Election form, the portion of his Account subject to such Deferral Election shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days of Executive’s Separation from Service, subject to Section 5.03.

5.02 Form of Payment

Executive shall elect on his Deferral Election form to receive the amounts subject to such Deferral Election form in a lump sum or in annual installments of two to 10 years, with the lump sum or first installment paid within 30 days of the event specified by the Executive on his Deferral Election Form. One remaining installment, if any, shall be paid on each January 15 (or any later date in the same calendar year) following the Executive’s Separation from Service, Change in Control, death, Disability or specified date until all installments are paid.

5.03 Delay for Specified Employees

If Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of his Separation from Service (other than death or Disability), the payments due under this Agreement shall be paid or begin on the first day of the month immediately following the six-month anniversary of the Executive’s Separation from Service. Installments that would have been paid during such six-month period had Executive not been a Specified Employee will be included in the first payment. Such delay shall apply only to the extent required by Code Section 409A and, thus, generally shall not apply to payments due only upon a specified date or Change in Control, death or Disability.

5.04 Payment in the Event of Executive’s Death or Disability

If Executive’s employment terminates due to his death, Disability or Executive dies after payments have commenced under this Agreement, any remaining payments shall be made to Executive’s beneficiary in accordance with his Deferral Election forms or the default provisions of this Agreement (where no time or form of payment has been selected on a Deferral Election form).

5.05 Change in the Time and Form of Payment

Executive may change his or her election to a subsequent payout by submitting a subsequent Deferral Election form to the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, which must comply with Code section 409A and Treasury Regulations thereunder. Such subsequent deferral election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made and the election must be made at least 12 months before the payment is scheduled to be made or commence (where required by Treasury Regulations under Code section 409A). The payment with respect to which such subsequent deferral election is made must be deferred for a period not less than five years from the date the payment would otherwise be made or commence. The payment election forms most recently accepted by the Board shall govern the payout of benefits.

5.06 Hardship Distribution

(a) A distribution of a portion of Executive’s Account because of an Unforeseeable Emergency will be permitted only to the extent required by Executive to satisfy the emergency need. Whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has occurred will be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. Distributions in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency may be made by and with the approval of the Board upon written request by Executive. A distribution because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be paid in a single lump sum within 30 days after Board approval.

(b) An “Unforeseeable Emergency” is defined as a severe financial hardship to Executive resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of Executive or of a dependent of Executive, loss of Executive’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond Executive’s control. The circumstances that will constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any event, any distribution under this Agreement section shall not exceed the remaining amount required by Executive to resolve the hardship after (i) reimbursement or compensation through insurance or otherwise, (ii) obtaining liquidation of Executive’s assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause a severe financial hardship, or (iii) suspension of deferrals under this Agreement. If Executive claims hardship, he shall be required to submit to the Board documentation of the hardship and proof that the loss is not covered by other means.

5.07 Prohibition on Acceleration

Except as provided in Code section 409A or Treasury Regulations thereunder, no acceleration in the time or schedule of any amount scheduled to be paid under this Agreement is permitted.

ARTICLE VI

FUNDING

The Corporation has only a contractual obligation to pay the benefits described in this Agreement. All benefits are to be satisfied solely out of the general corporate assets of the Corporation and shall remain subject to the claims of its general creditors. No assets of the Corporation will be segregated or committed to the satisfaction of its obligations to the Executive or any Beneficiary under this Agreement. If the Corporation, in its sole discretion, elects to

6

purchase life insurance on the life of the Executive in connection with this Agreement, the Executive must submit to a physical examination, if required by the insurer, and otherwise cooperate in the issuance of such policy or his rights under this Agreement will be forfeited.

The Corporation shall establish a grantor trust which may be used to hold assets of the Corporation which are maintained as reserves against the Corporation’s unfunded, unsecured obligations hereunder. Such reserves shall at all times be subject to the claims of the Corporation’s general creditors. To the extent such trust or other vehicle is established, and assets contributed, for the purpose of fulfilling the Corporation’s obligations hereunder, then such obligation of the Corporation shall be reduced to the extent such assets are utilized to meet its obligations hereunder. Any such trust and the assets held thereunder are intended to conform in substance to the terms of the model trust described in Revenue Procedure 92-64. The Corporation is required to deposit assets in such trust, equal to the amount of Base Salary deferred by the Executive, within five business days of the date such Base Salary would otherwise have been paid to the Executive.

ARTICLE VII

MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement may be modified or terminated only by a written instrument signed by both parties, and only in a manner that does not violate Code section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

ARTICLE VIII

OTHER BENEFITS AND AGREEMENTS

The benefits provided for Executive and his Beneficiary under this Agreement are in addition to any other benefits available to such Executive under any other Agreement or program of the Corporation for its employees. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided for, this Agreement shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify, or amend any other Agreement or program of the Corporation in which the Executive is participating.

ARTICLE IX

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF BENEFITS

No right or benefit under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of the person entitled to such benefit. If the Executive or any Beneficiary under this Agreement should become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right to a benefit hereunder, then such right or benefit, in the discretion of the Board, shall cease and terminate, and, in such event, the Board may hold or apply the same or any part thereof for the benefit of such Executive or Beneficiary, his or her spouse, children, or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in such portion as the Board may deem proper.

7

ARTICLE X

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

ARTICLE XI

This Agreement does not in any way limit the right of the Corporation at any time and for any reason to terminate the Executive’s employment which termination may affect or preclude the Executive’s entitlement to an Account.
