4.1

 

Deferrals . A Participant’s Deferrals under Article 4 herein shall be credited to an Account maintained for each Participant as described in Section 4.2.

Valuation of Accounts . The Account is a bookkeeping account, the value of which shall be based upon the Market Value of Company Stock.

The number of such credited units will be determined by dividing the value of the Director Compensation that would have been paid during a calendar quarter had it not been deferred, by the Market Value per share of the Company Stock on the last day of that calendar quarter on which shares of Company Stock traded. The Account shall be credited with additional units upon payment of any dividends on Company Stock based on the number of units credited on the record date for such dividends, and such dividends shall be credited as units as if the dividends were immediately reinvested in such Company Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Plan place no obligation upon the Company to invest or to continue to invest any portion of the amounts in the Participant’s Account, to invest in or to continue to invest in any specific asset, to liquidate any particular investment, or to apply in any specific manner the proceeds from the sale, liquidation, or maturity of any particular investment.
