participant to receive any shares or amounts in connection with such awards will terminate without further obligation on the part of the Corporation.
VIII. Stockholder Status; Dividends and Dividend Equivalents
During the Restricted Period, a participant to whom Restricted Stock Units are credited will not be a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to such units. However, the Corporation will credit each Restricted Stock Unit with dividend equivalents corresponding in amount and timing to cash dividends that would be payable with respect to an outstanding share. Dividend equivalents will be paid currently or, if the Committee so determines with respect to any Awards granted in a subsequent Compensation Year, will be deemed to be reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units.
IX. Form of Awards
During the Restricted Period, Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by book-entry credits in records maintained by or on behalf of the Corporation. Restricted Stock Units will represent only an unfunded and unsecured contractual right to receive shares, if any, payable in settlement of the award.
X. Settlement of Awards
(1) Restricted Stock Units will be settled in shares. If and when the Restricted Period expires with respect to an award of Restricted Stock Units, the Corporation will, subject to Section XIV and the provisions of this Section X below, deliver one share free of restriction in settlement of each unit to or for the account of the participant, or the participant's estate, or designated beneficiary, if applicable, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Restricted Period, unless the participant has elected to defer the date of issuance as provided below.
(2) Subject to any conditions deemed appropriate from time to time by the Committee (including suspension of the right to elect deferrals or to make changes to any existing deferral election) and the provisions of this Section X below, a participant may elect to defer the date on which shares are issued to such participant under subsection X.(1) above using the form attached as Exhibit A (or any successor form approved by the Administrator). Any such election with respect to any Award must be made by, and may not be revoked after, December 31 of the Compensation Year before the Award is granted, provided, however, that in the case of a Non-Employee Director who first becomes eligible to receive an Award under these Rules, any such election must be made within thirty (30) days after the Non-Employee Director becomes eligible, and may not be revoked after such date.
(3) Shares will be delivered in certificate or book-entry form and cash (including dividends or dividend equivalents) will be paid by check, wire transfer, or direct deposit, in each case in accordance with the procedures of the Administrator or its delegate in effect at the time.

Exhibit 10.3

(4) The issuance or delivery of any shares may be postponed by the Corporation for such period as may in the determination of the Administrator be required to comply with any applicable requirements under the federal securities laws (including, without limitation, the exemptions provided in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), any applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange, or any other requirements or exemptions applicable to the issuance or delivery of such shares. The Corporation will not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares if the issuance or delivery would constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange.
(5) Awards granted under these Rules constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" which are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. These Rules and all documents and agreements relating to Awards shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of these Rules and any other documents and agreements relating to the Awards to the contrary, the Committee may adopt such amendments to these Rules and such other documents and agreements or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
XI. Change in Capitalization; Adjustments
If a stock split, stock dividend, merger, or other relevant change in capitalization occurs, the Administrator will adjust the terms of outstanding awards, including the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to a participant's account or the securities issuable in settlement of such units, as well as the maximum number of shares issuable under Section V, as appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Non-Employee Directors under these Rules. Any new shares or securities issued with respect to outstanding Restricted Stock Units will be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Corporation, and will be subject to the same provisions, restrictions, and requirements as such Restricted Stock Unit.
XII. Beneficiary Designation
Participants may designate a beneficiary to whom shares under these Rules may be delivered or paid on the death of the participant, provided that such designation will only be given effect if the designation is expressly authorized as a non-testamentary transfer under applicable laws of descent and distribution as determined by the Administrator. Beneficiary designations will be subject to such forms, requirements, and procedures as the Administrator may establish.
XIII. Payment of Director’s Fees
The Director's Retainer Fee Payment shall be paid to each Non-Employee Director, as of each Payment Date, as set forth in these Rules and subject to such other payment policies and procedures as the Administrator or its delegate may establish from time to time.

XIV. Withholding Taxes
The Corporation has the right, in its sole discretion, to deduct or withhold at any time shares or cash subject to or otherwise deliverable or payable in connection with an award (including cash payable as dividends or dividend equivalents) or any Director’s Retainer Fee Payment as may in the determination of the Administrator be necessary to satisfy any required withholding or similar taxes with respect to such awards. Withheld shares may be retained by the Corporation or sold on behalf of the participant.
XV. Amendments to the Rules
(1) The Board or Administrator may from time to time amend or cease granting awards under these Rules.
(2) An amendment of these Rules will, unless the amendment provides otherwise, be immediately and automatically effective for all outstanding awards.
(3) The Board or Administrator may amend any outstanding award under these Rules, provided the award, as amended, contains only such terms and conditions as would be permitted or required for a new award under these Rules.
XVI. General Provisions
(1) The Administrator or its delegate is authorized to establish forms of agreement between the Corporation and each participant to evidence awards under these Rules, and to require execution of such agreements as a condition to a participant's receipt of an award.
(2) The grant of an award under these Rules does not give a participant any right to remain a director of the Corporation.
(3) These Rules will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the United States of America, without regard to any conflict of law rules.
