Voluntary Deferral of Annual Retainer Payable to Nonemployee Directors

Deferral Election. During the term of the 2007 Award Plan, a Nonemployee Director may elect to receive all or a portion of the cash component of his or her Annual Retainer in the form of Deferred Stock Units or to have such amounts placed in an Interest Account. He or she may also elect to receive all or part of the stock component of his or her Annual Retainer in the form of Deferred Stock Units. The interest Account is a hypothetical investment account bearing interest at the rate of one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the applicable federal long-term rate, compounded annually, and set as of the first day of each calendar year. A Stock Unit is an accounting equivalent of one share of the Company’s Common Stock. A deferral election is irrevocable and is valid only for the calendar year following the election.

Number of Stock Units. The number of Deferred Stock Units to be granted in connection with a deferral election shall equal the portion of the Annual Retainer being deferred into Stock Units divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the scheduled payment date of the amount deferred. When dividends are paid on shares of Common Stock, dividend equivalents would be earned on the Deferred Stock Units acquired by the Nonemployee Directors under the 2007 Stock Plan.

Distribution. The distribution of amounts deferred by the Nonemployee Directors shall occur as soon as administratively feasible following his or her termination of service as a director. The Nonemployee Director will receive a cash lump sum distribution equal to any balance of the deferred Annual Retainer allocated to his or her Interest Account, and a lump sum distribution in shares of Common Stock for the number of shares allocated to his or her Deferred Stock Unit Account. Alternatively, the Nonemployee Director may elect to receive his or her distribution in up to three annual installments, with the annual installment amount frozen as of the first distribution date.
