A Participant
may elect to make Deferrals to his or her Account for a Plan Year

Administrative Committee on or before the due date established by
the Administrative Committee for the Plan Year for which the
Deferral Election is being made. Except as provided in paragraphs
(b), (c) and (d) of this Section 4.1, such due date
shall be prior to January 1 of the Plan Year in which services
for which the Compensation would otherwise be payable
commence.
|
|
|
(b)

The
Administrative Committee may provide for separate Deferral
Elections and due dates for the various elements of Compensation,
such as base salary and bonuses. Any Deferral Election must be made

later than the date upon which the performance criteria are
established through a date no earlier than the date upon which the

provided that in no event may an election to defer
performance-based compensation be made after such compensation has
become both substantially certain to be paid and readily
ascertainable.

(“Terms and Conditions”). Other than for purposes of
determining the value of such contributions under Article 6 of the
Plan, the Terms and Conditions shall apply to PST Restoration
Program Contributions accounted for under this Plan.

Administrative Committee a Deferral Election within thirty
(30) days after the date on which such Participant is notified
that he or she has become eligible to participate in the Plan. For
this purpose, the date of the notice shall be the date of
notification, regardless of when actually received by the
Participant. A Participant may not, however, make a Deferral
Election under this Section 4.1(c) if the Participant is
already eligible to participate in another deferred compensation
plan that is required under Code Section 409A to be aggregated

Except as
otherwise set forth in paragraph (c) of this Article 4.1, only

Plan Year with respect to an element of Compensation shall not be
permitted to make Deferrals for such element of Compensation for
such Plan Year.

Election shall direct the Employer to reduce the
Participant’s Compensation (or the element thereof) by a
whole percentage specified by the Participant in the Deferral
Election.

specified by the Participant in the Deferral Election cannot reduce

withholdings required by law, as determined by the Administrative
Committee.

|
|
(h)
|
Except as
otherwise provided in paragraphs (c) and (h) of this
Article 4.1, a Deferral Election for Compensation shall be
effective only for the Plan Year for which it is made. Once filed
with the Administrative Committee, a Deferral Election shall be
irrevocable.
|
|
|
(i)
|
In making a
Deferral Election, the Participant consents to the Employer’s
withholding from his or her currently payable Compensation the
amount or amounts elected and the crediting of such withheld
amounts to the Participant’s Account, as provided in the
Plan.
|
4.2 Automatic Cancellation of
Deferral Elections .
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event
the Participant ceases to be a Participant, all of such
Participant’s Deferral Elections pertaining to Plan Years
that have not commenced shall immediately be cancelled, and the
Participant’s right to make future Deferral Elections shall
be suspended until the Participant again becomes a

Notwithstanding anything in th
