Grandfathered benefits that are exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (those amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005, and earnings thereon) will be distributed to participants in lump sum payments as soon as practicable after January 1, 2010 (and no later than December 31, 2010). Benefits attributable to the portions of the plans that are subject to Section 409A (non-grandfathered benefits, those amounts deferred or vested after December 31, 2004 and earnings thereon) will be distributed, also in lump sum payments, within the 12-24 month period after termination of the plans, as required by Section 409A. At November 30, 2009, account balances of the 10 current directors and for the named executive officers were $5.06 million.
