Section 3.03. Company Deferrals.

(a) Company Deferrals Prior August 1, 2013.

In no event shall the total Company Deferrals under this Plan plus the Company matching contributions under the Savings Plan in the same Plan Year exceed $12,000, in the aggregate, in respect of any such Participant. All such amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as soon as practicable and after the Company is able to determine the amount of such Company Deferrals to be made for the Participant to this Plan. The Company Deferral shall be deemed to be made in shares of Company Stock or cash in the Company’s sole discretion in accordance with and to the extent consistent with procedures approved by the Administration Committee or its delegate.

A Participant’s election options concerning the timing of his distributions shall include:
