Achievement: Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award
Notice, the cash incentive amount payable under this Performance Award will
depend upon achievement of certain Performance Goals and will be determined in
accordance with Appendix A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate or reduce the Performance Award
payment that otherwise would be payable to you.
Payment: The Company will distribute cash for the Performance Award following
the Committee’s determination and written certification of the achievement of
the Performance Goals and the Committee’s determination of the amount to be paid
to you under the Performance Award for the Performance Period in the calendar
year commencing immediately following the last day of the Performance Period.
Separation from Service: If your employment terminates during the applicable
Performance Period by reason of death or Disability, you will be eligible to
receive an amount equal to (i) the Performance Award payment (determined as
though you had remained employed through the last day of the Performance
Period), multiplied by (ii) the Pro-Rata Fraction. If your employment terminates
during the Performance Period due to Retirement or by the Company other than for
Cause, the Committee may in its sole discretion determine that you will be
eligible to receive an amount up to (i) the Performance Award payment
(determined as though you had remained employed through the last day of the
Performance Period), multiplied by (ii) the Pro-Rata Fraction. If your
employment terminates prior to the last day of the Performance Period in any
other circumstance or the Committee does not determine that you will receive a
Performance Award payment pursuant to the preceding sentence, your Performance
Award will be immediately canceled as of the date of such termination of
employment without payment of any consideration to you. For purposes of this
paragraph, “Pro Rata Fraction” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days that have elapsed in the applicable Performance Period through
your termination of employment and the denominator of which is the number of
days in the Performance Period.
