
    
    In cases of grade/target change that occur during the Bonus
Period, the base salary in effect at the end of each time period will be
used to compute the target bonus award for each respective portion of the
Bonus Period.
    
    In cases of changes in work schedule, (i.e., 35 to 40 hours or
vice versa), the base salary in effect at the end of each time period
will be used to compute the annual target bonus award.
 Prorated Bonus Awards
  
    
    New Hires and Rehires Bonus award will be prorated based upon
the number of months employed during the Bonus Period. For example, a
participant initially hired on July 1st would be eligible for
50% of the annual bonus award. In the case of rehires, there is no
credit for prior service and the rehire date must occur prior to October
1st in order for the participant to be eligible under the Plan
for the Bonus Period.
    
    Leaves of Absence Time taken during a leave of absence is not
credited toward eligibility for a bonus award; therefore, awards will be
prorated for the length of time on leave of absence. Furthermore, bonus
payments are not considered earned and payable unless and until the
participant returns to work, with the exception of Military Leave. If
the leave of absence lasts nine months or more during the Bonus Period,
the participant will not have met the three-month eligibility required to
earn a bonus for that Bonus Period.
    
    Promotions and Demotions If the action results in a movement
from one bonus-eligible position to another bonus-eligible position (with
either a higher or lower bonus target) a pro-rated bonus award will be
calculated. The bonus award will be calculated separately by factoring
the time in each bonus eligible position by the corresponding bonus
target and base pay during the participants tenure in each position.
However, if a participant is both promoted and later demoted during the
Bonus Period, the participants entire bonus eligibility and bonus target
percent will be determined by the lower grade.
    
    Status Change
 o
    
    Change in employment status The bonus award is not
payable unless the participant has occupied a bonus-eligible
position for at least three months during the Bonus Period
and meets all eligibility criteria during the last full
quarter of the
Bonus Period, i.e., from Oct 1st
through December 31st. The bonus award will be
based upon the base salary in effect at the end of the
applicable time period and the annual bonus target while in
the bonus-eligible position.

    Bonus-eligible position to a non-bonus eligible position
  The bonus award is prorated based upon the time in a
bonus-eligible position as long as the participant was in
the position for a minimum of three months during the Bonus
Period. A participant must occupy a bonus-eligible position
prior to October 1st in order to be eligible to
receive a bonus payment for the Bonus Period.o
    
    Non-bonus-eligible position to a bonus-eligible position
  The bonus award will be prorated based on the time
worked, the corresponding bonus target, and the salary in
effect at the end of the period while in the bonus-eligible
position as long as the participant was in the eligible
position for a minimum of three months during the Bonus
Period. A participant must move into the bonus-eligible
position prior to October 1st in order to be
eligible to receive a bonus payment for the Bonus Period.

following the final approval of bonus awards for the Bonus Period, but not
