#### Treatment of Short-Term Incentives
In general, NEOs are ineligible to receive short-term incentives under the STIP in the event of a termination of employment or Change in Control. However, in the event of a NEO’s death, disability or retirement, the NEO will be eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of the earned STIP award (based on the number of days served during the performance period divided by the length of the performance period), based on actual performance.

In the event of a Change in Control without termination, no portion of the short-term incentive will be received by the NEO.
