supervisor, and approved in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.
	 
	 	(d)	 	There will be no adjustment for job performance for Entitled Operations
Employees who are Hourly Employees.

	4.04	 	Limitation of Award Payments and General Discretion

	 	(a)	 	Generally, no Award Payment shall be granted under this Plan with respect to
any Year in which the CFR is less than 50% of the Target CFR. However, the Committee
may elect, in its discretion, to grant Award Payments in any Year, regardless of the
CFR.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Award Payment for any Entitled Employee may exceed or be below the amount
calculated in accordance with this Section 4. Award Payments falling outside the
established range shall be reviewed and approved by the Board and Committee for the CEO
and the CEO and Committee for direct reports to the CEO. For all others, approval of
the CEO is required.

7

 

	 	(c)	 	An Entitled Employee who has been employed by the Corporation for less than one
year shall have his or her Award Payment prorated in accordance with his or her period
of employment.
	 
	 	(d)	 	An employee who for part of the Year was a full-time active employee but for
part of the Year was on long-term disability or an approved or unpaid leave of absence,
may be considered an Entitled Employee and eligible for a pro-rata share of the Award
Payment based upon the fraction of the Year the employee was considered a full-time
active employee. However, in situations where the fractional portion of the Year
worked is less than one-twelfth, the employee will not be considered an Entitled
Employee unless the CEO recommends and the Committee approves the exception.
	 
	 	(e)	 	An Entitled Employee who was, during a Year, promoted or demoted from one Group
to another Group set forth in Appendix “A”, shall have his or her Award Payment
calculated on the basis of his or her Group as at the end of the Year.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Notwithstanding the Groups established in Appendix “A”, the Committee may on
the recommendation of the CEO, designate an Eligible Employee for inclusion in one of
such Groups when, but for such designation, the Eligible Employee would not otherwise
be included in such Group.

	4.05	 	Timing of Award Payments
	 
	 	 	The Committee shall, on the recommendation of the CEO and within 30 days of the end of a
Year, approve the ACFR calculation and the amount of Award Payments for each Entitled
Employee who is a direct report to the CEO for any given Year. The CEO’s Award Payment will
be approved by the Board. Following approval of the ACFR, final calculations for the
remaining Entitled Employees will be prepared. The Award Payments shall be paid to Entitled
Employees within 30 days of the Committee’s approval of the ACFR and no later than 2 1/2
months after the end of the Year.
	 
	4.06	 	Recoupment Policy
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding any other provision under this Section, Entitled Employees who also
participate in the Corporation’s Medium-Term Incentive Plan shall be subject to the terms
and conditions of the Corporation’s Policy on Recoupment of Unearned Compensation (as
previously adopted and, from time to time, amended by the Board), a copy of which shall be
distributed to each such Entitled Employee upon participation in the Medium-Term Incentive
Plan.

Section 5—Administration of the Plan

	5.01	 	Administration
	 
	 	 	The Committee shall conclusively interpret the provisions of this Plan and decide all
questions of fact arising in the application of the Plan. Determinations and interpretations
in individual cases may be made by the CEO with due regard to consistency with any prior
action by the Committee and such determination shall be binding and conclusive upon the

8

 

	 	 	individual employees concerned and persons claiming under them. The Committee shall be
advised of any such determination or interpretation made by the CEO. To the extent
applicable, the Plan shall be administered with respect to Entitled Employees subject to
U.S. law so as to avoid penalties pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Section 6—Transfer of Employment

	6.01	 	Transfer of Employment
	 
	 	 	If an Entitled Employee’s employment is transferred during a Year to a different location,
within the Corporation the Senior Vice-President, Administration and the CEO shall determine
whether the Entitled Employee’s Award Payment is calculated in accordance with Section 4.02
(Calculation of Award Payment), Section 4.03 (Entitled Operations Employees), or a
combination of those sections.

Payment under this Plan shall not be:

	 	(a)	 	given as security;
	 
	 	(b)	 	subject to transfer, anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment,
encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	subject to execution, attachment, levy or similar process or assignment by
operation of law,

	 	 	and any attempt to effect any such action shall be null and void and of no effect.
	 
	7.02	 	Amendment or Termination
	 
	 	 	Subject to Section 7.03 (Effect of Amendment or Termination), this Plan may be amended in
whole or in part from time to time or terminated by the Corporation. Any amendment or
termination shall be binding on the Corporation, Entitled Employees, Eligible Employees and
their respective beneficiaries.
	 
	7.03	 	Effect of Amendment or Termination
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding Section 7.02 (Amendment or Termination), no amendment or termination of any
provision of this Plan shall directly or indirectly deprive any Entitled Employee or
beneficiary of all or any portion of an Award Payment earned with respect to any Year ending
prior to the date of the amendment or termination.

9

 

	7.04	 	No Enlargement of Contractual Rights
	 
	 	 	This Plan shall not give any Entitled Employee or Eligible Employee the right to be retained
in the service of the Corporation nor shall it interfere with the right of the Corporation
to terminate the employment of the Entitled Employee or Eligible Employee. Participation in
this Plan shall not give any Entitled Employee or Eligible Employee any right or claim to
any benefit, except to the extent provided in this Plan.
	 
	7.05	 	Interpretation
	 
	 	 	This Plan shall be interpreted pursuant to the laws of the Province of Saskatchewan. Section
headings are for convenience only and shall not be considered provisions of the Plan. Words

	7.06	 	Withholding of Taxes
	 
	 	 	The Corporation shall withhold all applicable taxes from any amounts paid pursuant to this

	 	 	This Plan shall be binding on any successor or successors of PCS Inc. whether by merger,
consolidation or otherwise.
