Each director of the Company also receives annual incentive awards under the Company's 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan. A form of the 2005 Incentive Award Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.36 in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The 2005 Incentive Award Agreement is substantially the same as the previously granted Book Value Award Agreement.
In 2001, the Company's directors approved a Directors' Retirement Compensation Plan (the "Retirement Plan"). The Retirement Plan becomes effective for each Company director (including directors who are employees of the Company) upon terminating service from the Board of Directors provided that such termination was not made under conditions adverse to the Company's interest. Effective with the annual meeting wherein the director is not reappointed to the Board of Directors, and provided benefits are not paid until such time as the director has attained the age of 65, the Company will pay an annual retirement benefit equal to 50% of the average annual total compensation of the director for the highest three full years ("three year average compensation"). The annual retirement benefit of 50% of the three year average compensation vests at the rate of 4.0% for each year of Board of Directors service up to a maximum of 100% vesting through termination of service. Payments continue for a maximum of ten years over the remaining life of the former director, or his or her then spouse, if the director pre-deceases the spouse. No payments are to be made after the death of the director and spouse.
