18

 


 

To the extent a Participant or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company, and such person shall have only the unsecured promise of the Company that such payments shall be made.

ARTICLE 4

Payment of Deferred Compensation.

4.1.                  Payment in Accordance with Elections. Subject to the terms of this Article 4, a Participant’s Account shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to the Participant in the form(s) elected by the Participant in the Participant’s Deferral Election(s) as soon as practicable following the Participant’s Separation from Service (but in no event more than 60 days after such Separation From Service or, in the case of installments, such other applicable payment date under Section 4.3 hereof).

4.2.                  Form of Payment. Payment with respect to Phantom Shares credited to a Participant’s Account prior to January 1, 2006 shall be paid in the form of shares of Common Stock. Payment with respect to Phantom Shares credited to a Participant’s Account on or after January 1, 2006 shall be paid in the form of cash.

4.3.                  Permissible Payment Methods. A Participant may, pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, elect to receive payment of Phantom Shares credited to the Participant’s Account in either of the following methods of payment:

(a)       a single payment, payable within 60 days after the Participant’s Separation from Service, or

(b)       annual installment payments, commencing within 60 days after the Participant’s Separation from Service (with subsequent payments being made on each anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service until completion of the installment period), over a period of years (selected by the Participant) not to exceed 15, with the amount of each annual installment calculated by dividing the balance of the relevant Account (or portion thereof) at the end of the prior year by the number of installments remaining to be paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any election made by a Participant to the contrary, in the event that a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs within two years following a Change in Control, such Participant’s Account shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.3(a) hereof. If any annual installment (other than the last installment), calculated as set forth in Section 4.3(b) hereof, would result in the payment of a fractional share of Common Stock, such annual installment shall be reduced to the next lowest whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, as part of a single payment pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or a final installment payment, a fractional share of Common Stock would be paid, then in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional share on the date the payment is calculated shall be paid in cash.

 

19

 


 

4.4.                  Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator may accelerate payment of all or a portion of a Participant’s Account upon the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount of such payment shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from such payment). The determination of whether a Participant has experienced an Unforeseeable Emergency and the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need shall be based on all the facts and circumstances taking into consideration the financial resources available to the Participant and shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. If payment of less than all of a Participant’s Account is accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.4, the accelerated payment shall be deducted proportionately from all amounts credited to the Participant’s Account.

4.5.                  Certain Election Form Filings. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 4 to the contrary, in the case of any Participant who has executed an “Election Form” with respect to the payment of distributions of stock of Guaranty Financial Group Inc. and Forestar Real Estate Group Inc. and the payment of any special dividend made in connection with the Company’s sale of certain of its timberland assets, such distributions and dividends shall be paid in accordance with the Election Form.

4.6.      Section 409A Mandatory Delay in Benefit Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article 4, to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator shall delay payment of the Account of a Participant who is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) until the earlier of (a) the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation From Service, or (b) the date of the specified employee’s death. The aggregate amount of payment(s) otherwise payable during the delay period (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the simple average of the rate for the last four reported quarters preceding the Participant’s Separation from Service under the Vanguard U.S. Treasury Fund under the Temple-Inland Salaried Savings Plan or any successor thereto) shall be payable to the specified employee upon the expiration of the delay period.

4.7.      Payment of Post-2007 Dividends. Not later than 30 days after the payment date of any cash dividend or cash distribution declared on the Common Stock on or after January 1, 2008, the Company shall pay to each Participant the amount of the dividend that would have been paid to the Participant with respect to the Phantom Shares credited to the Participant’s Account if such Phantom Shares were actual issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Participant.

4.8.                  Payment Upon Death. Notwithstanding Section 4.1, in the event of a Participant’s death, the entire balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary, as determined in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof) in the form of a single payment as soon as practicable after death (and in no event more than 90 days after death).

4.9.                  Certain Additional Payments. If any payment to a Participant or his or her beneficiary under this Plan (a “Plan Payment”) will be subject to the excise tax

 

20

 


 

(the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall pay to the Participant (or his or her surviving beneficiary) an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Participant (or his or her surviving beneficiary), after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Plan Payment and any federal, state and local income tax and Excise Tax upon the payment of provided for by this Section 4.9, shall be equal to the Plan Payment. For purposes of determining whether any Plan Payment will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (a) any other payments or benefits received or to be received by the Participant (or his or her surviving beneficiary) in connection with a Change in Control or the Participant’s termination of membership on the Board (whether pursuant to the terms of this Plan or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a Change in Control or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company’s independent auditors and acceptable to the Participant (or the Participant’s surviving beneficiary) such other payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the base amount (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code), or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, (b) the amount of the Plan Payment which shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax Shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the total amount of the Plan Payment or (ii) the amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) (after applying clause (a), above), and (c) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. The Company shall pay the Gross-Up Payment to the Eligible Director within 30 days following the Eligible Director’s remittance of the tax in respect of which the Gross-Up Payment relates.
