Once established, the Interest Equivalent Rate shall remain the same for the entire Plan Year. At the end of each calendar month, the balance in the Officer’s deferred compensation account as of the immediately preceding month will be multiplied by the Interest Equivalent Rate divided by 12. The resulting interest amount shall then be credited to Officer’s bookkeeping account. The total of the amounts credited to Officer’s bookkeeping account shall be payable in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. For purposes of determining Officer’s Eligible Compensation, base salary shall be defined as that amount specifically approved by the Company as base salary and shall exclude other payments such as perquisite allowance, insurance reimbursements, special awards, etc., as determined by the Committee or its designee, in the Committee’s or its designee’s sole discretion. For purposes of determining Officer’s Eligible Compensation, annual incentive compensation shall mean all amounts earned under the Company’s annual Incentive Compensation Program (or comparable annual bonus plan) for a given year whether payable currently or over a period of future years and excludes equity compensation except as awarded in lieu of cash under the annual Incentive Compensation Program, in each such case as determined by the Committee or its designee, in the Committee’s or its designee’s sole discretion. The Committee will make an annual determination regarding whether to continue the Plan for the next Plan Year and whether Officer shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Plan for such Plan Year. In the event Officer’s participation in the Plan is terminated, as of the date of termination of Officer’s participation, no further deferrals of Eligible Compensation shall be added to Officer’s bookkeeping account. Officer’s bookkeeping account shall, however, continue to be maintained and administered (including monthly credits of interest at the Interest Equivalent Rate in effect for the Plan Year) in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Unless the Committee discontinues Officer’s participation in the Plan, his/her participation in the Plan shall continue in like manner for each Plan Year after the first Plan Year for so long as Officer shall continue his/her employment with the Company.
