B. Annual Grants of Restricted Stock
At the time of each Annual Meeting of Shareholders, each Director shall receive an annual grant

determined quarterly and shall be equal to the percentage of the
Annual Retainer elected, divided by four, divided by the price per
share of Company Stock on the last day of each quarter. For
administrative purposes, shares may not actually be distributed until
after the end of the year in which the Annual Retainer was earned.
Or
2. On a deferred basis:

deferral election shall clearly specify the time of payment. All deferral
elections shall be irrevocable.
iv. Dividends/Stock Splits - Dividends, if any, on deferred shares of Common
Stock shall be paid in additional shares having a fair market value equal to the
amount of the dividends paid on the date of payment. However, any fractional
shares shall be paid in cash. Deferred Stock shall be subject to any stock
splits, reverse stock splits, or stock dividends.
v. Code Section 409A – The Plan is subject to the provisions of Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code enacted under the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004, and any regulations issued thereunder. The Plan shall be interpreted
