4.1    Elections to Defer Compensation and Equity Awards.

4.1.1    Amount and Timing of Deferrals. Subject to Section 3 above, a Director may elect to defer any percentage or dollar amount of his or her Compensation with respect to a Plan Year up to 100% of the amount of such Compensation. In addition, a Director may elect to receive any Equity Award granted or to be granted, as the case may be, to the Director during a Plan Year in the form of Stock Units credited under this Plan and defer the payment of up to 100% of such Stock Units as provided herein. Except as provided in Section 4.1.2, any election by a Director to defer Compensation and any Equity Award must be filed with the Corporation, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Corporation, by December 31 preceding the Plan Year with respect to which such election is effective or such earlier deadline as may be established by the Administrator with respect to such Plan Year.

4.1.2    First Year of Eligibility. In the case of an individual to be elected or appointed to the Board for the first time (i.e., a new Director) who was not previously employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, he or she may make an election to defer Compensation and any Equity Award by filing a deferral election with the Corporation, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Corporation, prior to the first day on which he or she is a Director. Such election shall be effective beginning with the Plan Year in which the individual is first a Director as to Compensation and any Equity Award earned for services performed on or after the date he or she is first a Director.

This Plan is adopted effective February 1, 2022. In the case of the first Plan Year under this Plan (2022), a Director in office on February 1, 2022 may make an election to defer Compensation and any Equity Award by filing a deferral election with the Corporation, on a form and in a manner

prescribed by the Corporation, on or before February 25, 2022. Such election shall be effective beginning with the second through fourth quarters of 2022 (which quarters shall constitute the first Plan Year under this Plan) as to Compensation and any Equity Award earned for services performed during such quarters.

4.1.3    “Evergreen” Duration of Deferral Election and Changes to Deferral Elections. Any election to defer Compensation or any Equity Award made under Section 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.2 shall be irrevocable and shall continue in effect for (1) the Plan Year for which it is effective, and (2) unless and until a new election by the Director becomes effective as provided below, each subsequent Plan Year for so long as the Director remains a member of the Board. If a Director makes a new election pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or provides the Corporation with written notice to terminate deferrals, such new election shall take effect beginning with the first new Plan Year to commence after such election or notice is received by the Corporation. A Director who has filed an election to terminate deferrals under this Plan may elect to recommence deferrals for future Plan Years by filing a new election pursuant to Section 4.1.1.

5.1    Crediting of Stock Units. The Corporation shall establish and maintain an Account for each Director who has elected under Section 4.1 to defer a portion of his or her Compensation or Equity Awards. On or as soon as administratively practical after the date Compensation a Director has elected to defer under Section 4.1 would otherwise have been paid to the Director but for such deferral (the “Cash Payment Date”), the Corporation shall credit such Director’s Account with a number of Stock Units determined by dividing the amount of such Compensation deferred by the Director to this Plan by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the corresponding Cash Payment Date. On or as soon as administratively practical after the date an Equity Award that a Director has elected to defer under Section 4.1 is granted, the Corporation shall credit such Director’s Account with a number of Stock Units equal to the number of Stock Units the Director has elected to defer hereunder.

5.2    Dividend Equivalents. As of any date on which the Corporation pays a cash dividend on its Common Stock (the “Dividend Payment Date”), the Director’s Account shall be credited with additional Stock Units equal to (i) the per-share cash dividend paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock on such date, multiplied by (ii) the total number of Stock Units (including any Dividend Equivalents previously credited hereunder) in the Director’s Account at the start of business as of the related dividend payment record date, divided by (iii) the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock as of the Dividend Payment Date. For clarity and to avoid duplication, Stock Units credited under this Plan will accrue dividend equivalents pursuant to this Section 5.2 and will not accrue divided equivalents pursuant to the applicable award agreement.

5.3    Account Not Funded; No Stockholder Rights. A Director’s Account shall be a memorandum account on the books of the Corporation. The Stock Units credited to a Director’s Account shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock that will eventually paid to such Director in accordance with this Plan. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. No Director shall be entitled to any voting or other stockholder rights with respect to Stock Units credited under this Plan.

The number of Stock Units credited (and the underlying shares of Common Stock to which the Stock Units relate) shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 6 of this Plan.

5.4    Reduction in Stock Units. A Director’s Account shall be reduced by the number of Stock Units with respect to which payment is made or that terminate because the vesting requirements applicable to the Stock Units are not satisfied.

5.5    Vesting of Stock Units. Stock Units credited to a Director’s Account pursuant to an election to defer Compensation (and any Dividend Equivalents credited thereon) are 100 percent vested at all times. Stock Units credited to a Director’s Account pursuant to an election to defer an Equity Award shall be subject to the vesting conditions applicable to such Equity Award pursuant to the Corporation’s Equity Award Program (and, to the extent such vesting conditions are not met, shall be subject to termination without payment in accordance with the terms of the Equity Award Program); provided that Dividend Equivalents credited to a Director’s Account with respect to such Stock units shall be 100 percent vested at all times.

Upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to): any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization; any spin-off, split-up, or non-cash distribution in respect of the Common Stock; or any exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock; then the Administrator shall equitably and proportionately adjust (1) the number, amount and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) that may become payable (or with respect to which the value of Stock Units is measured, as the case may be) with respect to the Stock Units credited under this Plan, as well as (2) the closing prices taken into account in determining Fair Market Value to the extent such an event occurs during the trading days over which the Fair Market Value is determined, in each case to the extent necessary to preserve the intended level of benefits (but without duplication of benefits if Dividend Equivalents are credited with respect to any such event). Without limiting the generality of Section 8, any good faith determination by the Administrator as to whether an adjustment is required in the circumstances pursuant to this Section 6, and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

7.1    Timing of Payment of Stock Units.

7.1.1    Timing of Payment Generally. Subject to Section 7.1.2 below, Stock Units credited to a Director’s Account, to the extent such Stock Units are then vested, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum upon or as soon as administratively practical following (and in all events within thirty (30) days following) the Director’s Separation from Service; provided, however, that at the time of making a deferral election pursuant to Section 4.1, a Director may elect to have the Stock Units subject to such election paid in substantially equal annual installments (not less than two (2) installments and not more than five (5) installments), with the first such installment to be paid upon or as soon as administratively practical following (and in all events within thirty (30) days following) the Director’s Separation from Service and the remaining installments to be paid each year thereafter in the same calendar month in which the Director’s Separation from Service

occurs until the entire Account has been paid. For example, if a Director elects payment in annual installments over five (5) years, the first installment payment would equal one-fifth (1/5th) of the Stock Units subject to such election and credited to the Director’s Account as of the Director’s Separation from Service (rounded to the nearest whole share), the second installment payment would equal one-fourth (1/4th) of the Stock Units subject to such election and credited to the Director’s Account as of the start of the month for the month in which the first anniversary of the Director’s Separation from Service occurs (rounded to the nearest whole share), and so on. The final payment (whether lump sum or installments) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

7.1.2    Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs before any Stock Units credited to a Director’s Account otherwise become payable (including any installment payments that the Director may have elected that have not yet become payable), such Stock Units shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum upon or as soon as administratively practical following (and in all events within thirty (30) days following) the Change in Control.

7.1.3    “Evergreen” Duration of Payment Election and Changes to Payment Elections. A Director’s election as to the form of payment of his or her Account made under this Section 7.1 shall be irrevocable and shall apply to Stock Units (including Dividend Equivalent Stock Units) credited in respect of deferrals of Compensation and Equity Awards for the Plan Year for which it is effective and each subsequent Plan Year for so long as the Director remains a member of the Board unless, prior to the commencement of such subsequent Plan Year, the Director makes a new election pursuant to Section 4.1 that provides a different timing of payment for the deferred Compensation and Equity Awards for such subsequent Plan Year (but, for purposes of clarity, any such new election shall not apply to the Plan Year in which it is made or any prior Plan Year).

7.2    Form of Payment. Distribution of Stock Units shall be made in the form of a share of the Corporation’s Common Stock for each Stock Unit to be paid (subject to Section 6 and with any fractional Stock Units to be rounded down to the nearest whole Stock Unit; provided that fractional Stock Units shall be cumulated until sufficient to produce a whole Stock Unit, in all cases remaining fractional Stock Unit interests shall terminate in the event the remaining Stock Units terminate, and any remaining fractional Stock Unit interest shall terminate on the final payment date applicable to the Director’s Account). The Director or any other person entitled under this Plan or the Performance Incentive Plan to receive a payment of shares of Common Stock shall deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances required pursuant to the Stock Plan. The Corporation may make payment of shares of Common Stock either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion.

7.3    Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if any payment of Stock Units pursuant to this Section 7 is triggered by a Director’s Separation from Service and the Director is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of the Director’s Separation from Service, the Director shall not be entitled to receive such payment until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the Director’s Separation from Service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date

of the Director’s death. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Director upon or in the six (6) month period following the Director’s Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 7.3 shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after the Director’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of the Director’s death). The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Code Section 409A.

7.4    Death of Director. In the event that a Director or former Director dies before receiving payment of his or her vested Stock Units under this Plan, the balance of the Director’s vested Stock Units shall be paid to the Director’s Beneficiary, in the form of a lump sum payment, as soon as administratively practical after the date of the Director’s death.

8.1    Administrator. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, this Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board.

8.2    Powers and Duties of the Administrator. The Administrator shall be charged with the general administration of this Plan, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish its purposes, including, but not by way of limitation, the following:

(a)    To construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan;

(b)    To make any required determination as to the amount or kind of benefits payable to Directors and their Beneficiaries, and to determine the time and manner in which such benefits are paid;

(c)    To make and publish such rules for the regulation of this Plan and procedures for the administration of this Plan as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof; and

(d)    To delegate ministerial, non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or to third parties.

8.3    Binding Determinations; Indemnification.  Any action taken by, or inaction of, the Corporation, any Subsidiary, or the Administrator relating or pursuant to this Plan and within its authority hereunder or under applicable law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons.  Neither the Board nor any Board committee, nor any member thereof or person acting at the direction thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with this Plan (or any Stock Units credited under this Plan), and all such persons shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors and officers liability insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time.

8.4    Information. To enable the Administrator to perform its functions, the Corporation shall supply full and timely information to the Administrator on all

matters relating to the compensation of all Directors, their termination of service, and such other pertinent facts as the Administrator may require.

8.5    Annual Statements. At least annually, the Corporation shall provide each Director with an Account a statement as to the number of Stock Units credited as of the date of such statement to such Director’s Account.

9.1    Unsecured General Creditor. Directors and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. No assets of the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be held under any trust or held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Corporation under this Plan. Any and all of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of each such entity. The Corporation’s obligations under this Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Corporation to pay money in the future to those persons to whom the Corporation has a benefit obligation under this Plan (as determined in accordance with the terms hereof), and the respective rights of the Directors and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors.

9.2    Restriction Against Assignment. The Corporation shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by this Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Director’s Account shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Director, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a Director’s Account be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Director, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any distribution or payment from this Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Director, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Administrator shall direct.

9.3    Withholding. The Corporation shall reasonably determine the amount of any federal, state, local or other income, employment, or other taxes which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries may reasonably be obligated to withhold with respect to the vesting or other event with respect to the Stock Units. If such withholding event occurs in connection with the distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units and subject to compliance with all applicable laws, the Corporation shall automatically withhold and reacquire the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution. If, however, any withholding event occurs with respect to the Stock Units other than in connection with the distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, or if the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such withholding and reacquisition of shares as described above, the Corporation shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Director and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Director the amount of any such withholding obligations.

9.4    Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board or the Administrator may at any time amend or modify this Plan, except that no amendment or modification shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any amounts allocated to a Director’s Account. In addition, the Board or the Administrator reserves discretion to terminate this Plan and pay the Stock Units credited to Director’s Account hereunder to the Director, in each case in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

9.5    Governing Law; Severability. This Plan shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. If any provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

9.6    Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity. In the event that any amount becomes payable under this Plan to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Administrator, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt therefore, the Administrator may direct that such payment be made to any person found by the Administrator, in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Administrator, the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

9.7    No Service Commitment. Nothing contained in this Plan constitutes a continued service commitment by the Corporation or interferes with the right of the Corporation to increase or decrease the compensation of the Director from the rate in existence at any time. No Director shall have any right to any payment or benefit hereunder except to the extent provided in this Plan.

9.8    Compliance with Laws. This Plan and the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock and/or the payment of money through the deferral of compensation under this Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities law) and to such approvals by any listing, agency or any regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Corporation, provide such assurances and representations to the Corporation as the Corporation may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

9.9    Construction and Interpretation. It is the intent of the Corporation that transactions pursuant to this Plan satisfy and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”) so that, to the extent elections are timely made, the crediting of Stock Units, the payment of Stock Units and any other event with respect to Stock Units under this Plan will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and will not be subjected to avoidable liability thereunder.

This Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (including the Treasury Regulations and other published guidance relating thereto) so as not to subject any Director to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Code Section 409A. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or

interest under Code Section 409A yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to the Director. Each payment and installment payable under this Plan is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

9.10    Headings, etc. Not Part of Agreement. Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

9.11    No Advice to Participants. Each Director is hereby advised to consult with his or her own tax, legal and/or investment advisors with respect to any advice the Director may determine is needed or appropriate with respect to this Plan (including, without limitation, to determine the foreign, state, local, estate and/or gift tax consequences with respect to the Stock Units and any shares that may be acquired upon payment of the Stock Units). Neither the Corporation nor any of its officers, directors, affiliates or advisors makes any representation (except for the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Plan) or recommendation with respect to this Plan.
