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. All amounts credited to a Participant’s
Account will be treated as a reduction of Director Compensation
otherwise payable to such Participant. Distributions pursuant to
Articles 5 and 6 shall be debited against a Participant’s
Account.
|
|
|

Valuation of Accounts . The Account is
a bookkeeping account, the value of which shall be based upon the
Market Value of Company Stock. Deferrals will be credited to the
Account in the form of units, each reflecting one share of Company
Stock. Fractional units will also be credited to such account, if
applicable. 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. It is
understood and agreed that the Company assumes no risk of any
decrease in the value of Company Stock or the Participant’s
Account, and the Company’s sole obligations are to maintain
the Participant’s Account and make cash payments or transfer
Company Stock to the Participant as herein provided.

Common Stock credited to a Participant’s Account shall be

shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization,
stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or
exchange of shares or other securities of the

|
|
Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to
purchase shares or other securities of the Company, or other
