ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 
By signing this Deferral Election, I hereby acknowledge my understanding and acceptance of the following:
1.
Irrevocable Election. This election is irrevocable. I understand that I may not revoke or modify this election (except as provided in the Plan or in such limited circumstances as the Compensation Committee may permit in accordance with law). I do not expect to be able to make any changes to the manner of timing of distributions set forth in this Deferral Election.
2.
Company Right to Terminate Election and Early Transfer. The Company reserves the right to terminate this Deferral Election and/or the Plan at any time. In such case, Stock Units which are subject to the Deferral Election may be converted into Shares and such Shares may be transferred to me at such times permitted by Code Section 409A, notwithstanding any election made herein.
3.
Withholding. The Company and its affiliates shall have the right to deduct from all deferrals or payments hereunder, any federal, state, or local tax required by law to be withheld.
4.
Tax Code Section 409A Dealing with Deferred Compensation. I understand that this election shall be construed in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Deferral Election, as well as the Plan and the requirements of Code Section 409A. To the extent Code Section 409A is applicable to any Stock Unit, it is intended that such Stock Unit complies with the deferral, payout and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Deferral Election, the Company, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, reserves the right, but shall not be required, to unilaterally amend or modify this election to help distributions qualify for exemption from or compliance with Code Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation that Stock Units under the Plan shall be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A. I understand that Code Section 409A is complex, that any additional taxes and other liabilities under Code Section 409A are my responsibility and that the Company encourages me to consult a tax advisor regarding the potential impact of Code Section 409A.
