Vested deferred stock units are payable in shares of Common Stock, either in a lump sum or, if the grantee has so elected, in annual installments, in each case beginning on the 30th day following grantee's termination of service as a director of the Corporation.  Deferred stock units pay dividend equivalents which are reinvested in additional deferred stock units.</footnote>
