 will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, which may include restrictions based upon the achievement of performance objectives.

Performance Shares

Other stock-based awards granted under the plan may include performance shares, which are restricted stock units that vest based on the achievement of performance goals specified in the applicable award agreement. Performance shares may be settled in shares or cash, as specified in the award agreement which may include additional limitations, terms and conditions, as the Committee may determine.

Dividend Equivalents

As determined by the Committee in its discretion, stock-based awards such as restricted stock units and performance shares may provide the participant with a deferred and contingent right to receive dividend equivalents, either in cash or in additional shares. Any such dividend equivalents will be accumulated or deemed reinvested until such time as the underlying award becomes vested (including, where applicable, the achievement of performance objectives). No dividend equivalents shall be granted with respect to shares underlying any stock option or SAR.

Performance Objectives

The plan provides that performance objectives may be established by the Committee in connection with any award granted under the Plan. Performance objectives may relate to the performance of the Company or one or more of our subsidiaries, divisions, departments, units, functions, partnerships, joint ventures or minority investments, product lines or products, or the performance of an individual participant, and performance objectives may be made relative to the performance of a group or companies or a special index of companies.

However, vesting and exercisability (as applicable) of awards that are assumed in connection with a change in control generally would be accelerated in full on a “double-trigger” basis, if, within twenty-four months after the change in control, the participant’s employment is terminated under circumstances specified in the applicable award agreement. To the extent outstanding awards granted under the Plan are not assumed, substituted or continued in connection with a change in control, then such awards generally would become vested in full upon the change in control.

For purposes of the Plan, a “change in control” generally includes (a) the acquisition of more than 50% of the
