SIGNATURE/AUTHORIZATION
     I acknowledge that I have reviewed the Plan and understand that my participation will be subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Plan. Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Election Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Plan.
     I understand that this Election Agreement applies only to the compensation earned by me during the periods specified above and will not apply to compensation earned in subsequent years.
 
1   Note that with respect to any Unvested Excess Core Contributions, the period of deferral can end no sooner than the date on which the Eligible Associate has achieved three Years of Service (as defined in and determined under the Savings and Investment Pension Plan).

 


 

     I acknowledge that I have been advised to consult with my own financial, tax, estate planning and legal advisors before making this election to defer in order to determine the tax effects and other implications of my participation in the Plan.
     I understand that generally my Termination of Employment will occur when I cease to be an associate. However, if I continue to provide services for the Company (as an employee or independent contractor) after I cease to be an associate, my Termination of Employment for purposes of the Plan may not occur until a later date.
     I understand that amendments to bring the Plan into compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code are necessary, and I further agree that the Company has my consent to make these amendments with an effective date no later than January 1, 2009.
               Dated this       day of                     , 2007.
