discretion appoint or remove a third-party recordkeeper to maintain the Accounts as provided herein.

Section 4. VOLUNTARY DEFERRALS

Voluntary Deferrals . Each Participant may elect, in such form and manner specified by the Administrative Committee, to defer the receipt of any cash remuneration to be earned with respect to services to be performed as a non-employee member of the Board after the effective date of the election. Such election shall be effective on the first day of the Plan Year following the date it is received by the Administrative Committee, provided that to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, a Participant may elect within 30 days of first becoming a Participant to have an election take effect immediately with respect to any compensation for services to be performed after the date of the election.

A Participant may modify an existing election effective on the first day of the Plan Year following the date on which the revised election is received by the Administrative Committee.

The conversion shall be accomplished by dividing each Participant’s Voluntary Deferrals by the average of the high and low prices at which a share of

(b)

 

Vesting . A Restricted Stock Subaccount shall be subject to the same vesting standards as would have applied under the Restricted Stock Plan had the Participant elected to receive Restricted Stock under that plan rather than Visteon Stock Units under this Plan.

(a)

 

Conversion to Visteon Stock Units . Any cash dividends that would have been payable in any month on the Visteon Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account had such units been actual shares of Company Stock shall be converted, for recordkeeping purposes, into whole and fractional Visteon Stock Units, with fractional units calculated to four decimal places, with the resulting Visteon Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Dividend subaccount. The conversion shall be accomplished by dividing the Participant’s deemed dividends for the month by the average of the high and low prices at which a share of Common Stock shall have been sold regular way on the Exchange on the last day of such month on which the Exchange is open to transact trades.
