RATE APPLICABLE TO
PARTICIPATING DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS UNDER THE
DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Effective for the 2011 plan year, the Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee has approved an applicable interest rate for the Directors and Executives Deferred Compensation Plan of 11.5%. That rate is a reduction from the 12.25% rate in effect for 2010, and applies prospectively to certain participants, including all participants who presently are directors or executive officers of the registrant. Rates generally are subject to annual approval by the Committee, but generally remain in effect until changed. The new interest rate, within the context of the entire Plan, has been established at a level intended to provide both retention and long-term non-compete incentives.
