	3.
	Determination of Awards. 

		
	(a)
	Certification of Performance Goals.  As soon as practicable after availability of the Company’s financial results (on an audited basis in the case of the fourth fiscal quarter) for each quarterly Performance Period, the Chief Executive Officer will report to the Committee with respect to the amounts of the Individual Objectives attained by each Participant and related adjustment to any Award potentially paid hereunder, and the Committee will determine the Corporate Objectives met for each quarter of the Performance Period, and following the fourth fiscal quarter, the Annual Corporate Objective, and certify the achievement of the Performance Goals and the calculation of Awards to be paid pursuant to the Incentive Plan (the “Performance Goal Certification”); provided, however, no Award will be paid to a Participant at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter if both the Corporate Objectives for the fourth fiscal quarter and the Annual Corporate Objective are not achieved.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee will retain the discretion to alter the value of the Award to be granted to any Participant pursuant to this Incentive Plan.

		
	(b)
	Change in Control. In connection with a Change in Control, and provided that the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company until immediately prior to the Change in Control, then, immediately prior to the Change in Control, an adjusted value of the Award will be paid to the Participant calculated as follows:

		
	(i)
	Completed Performance Periods. The amount of the Award for completed Performance Periods will be that value set forth next to the Participant’s name for each such period in Annex A as adjusted based on a Performance Goal Certification that is completed prior to the date which is ten business days prior to the Change in Control (the “CinC Measure Date”).

		
	(ii)
	Uncompleted Performance Periods. The amount of the Award for uncompleted Performance Periods will be cancelled and terminated, provided, however, that the Committee may determine to provide for pro-rata payment for such uncompleted Performance Periods. 

		
	(c)
	Termination For Any Reason Prior to the Performance Goal Certification Date. Subject to Section 3(b), if a Participant’s employment with the Company terminates prior to the Performance Goal Certification Date (defined below) for any reason, then that Participant will not be entitled to receive any Award under this Incentive Plan for the applicable Performance Period, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

		
	4.
	Award Amounts. 

Subject to Section 3(b), the Award, if any, to be paid will be as determined on the date of the Performance Goal Certification (the “Performance Goal Certification Date”), subject to adjustment for the level of performance of the Annual Corporate Objective, the Corporate Objectives and the applicable Individual Objectives set forth in Annex A.  To the extent a Participant’s Award is terminated prior to payment for any reason, such terminated amount may be reallocated to other Participants eligible for an Award, subject to approval by the Committee.
		
	5.
	Incentive Plan Administration. 

Notwithstanding the authority of the Chief Executive Officer in respect of the Individual Objectives as provided herein, the Committee will be responsible for all decisions and recommendations regarding Incentive Plan administration and retains final authority regarding all aspects of Incentive Plan administration, the resolution of any disputes, the interpretation of the Incentive Plan, and the application of the Incentive Plan in any respect to a Participant. All determinations and interpretations made by the Committee in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons. The Committee may, without notice, amend, suspend or terminate the Incentive Plan. 
		
	6.
	Withholding. 

Whenever payments pursuant to an Award are to be made, the Company will have the right to withhold any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld. The Company will have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise payable to such Participant such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Participant to pay such withholding taxes. If the Participant fails to make such tax payments as are required, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. 
7.    Financial Restatements. 
If the Company’s financial statements for the Performance Period are the subject of a restatement due to error or misconduct prior to the fifth anniversary of the Performance Goal Certification Date, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in all appropriate cases, the Company will seek, and all Participants will take such action as required to effect, reimbursement of excess performance compensation issued or paid under the Incentive Plan for the Performance Period. For purposes of this Incentive Plan, excess performance compensation means the positive difference, if any, between (i) the Incentive Plan Award actually paid to the Participant and (ii) the Incentive Plan Award that would have been paid to the Participant had the applicable Performance Goals been calculated based on the Company’s financial statements as restated. The Company will not be required to award any Participant any additional Award hereunder should the restated financial statements result in a higher multiplier as compared to the Performance Goals. 
8.    General Provisions. 
		
	(a)
	Non-Exclusivity of Incentive Plan. The adoption of the Incentive Plan by the Board or the Compensation Committee will not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other bonus or incentive compensation arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, cash or equity-based compensation arrangements, either tied to performance or otherwise, and any such other arrangements as may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

		
	(b)
	Limitation on Rights as a Participant. The Company is not obligated to give uniform treatment to Participants under the Incentive Plan. Participation in the Incentive Plan during the Performance Period does not convey any right to receive any award or to participate in the Incentive Plan as to any other period.

		
	(c)
	No Employment or Service Rights. Nothing in the Incentive Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan will (i) confer upon any Participant any right to continue to be retained in the employ or service of the Company, (ii) change the at-will employment relationship between the Company and a Participant, or (iii) interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any Participant or other person at any time, with or without cause, and with or without advance notice.

		
	(d)
	Validity. If any provision of the Incentive Plan is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, the same will not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provision of the Incentive Plan.

		
	(e)
	Governing Law. The Incentive Plan will be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to principles of conflicts of law) and applicable federal law.

		
	(f)
	Timing of Payment. Any Award to be paid under the Incentive Plan shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Committee’s determinations and certifications under Section 3(a); provided, however, any such payment shall be made following the end of the Company’s taxable year that coincides with or includes the end of a Performance Period and shall be made no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of such taxable year of the Company.  The Incentive Plan is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  To the extent that an Award or the payment of such Award is subject to section 409A of the Code, the Award shall be granted and paid in a manner that will comply with section 409A of the Code, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, except as otherwise determined by the Committee.  Any provision of the Incentive Plan that would cause the grant of an Award or the payment of such Award to fail to satisfy section 409A of the Code shall be amended to comply with section 409A of the Code on a timely basis, and may be amended on a retroactive basis, in accordance with regulations and other guidance issued under section 409A of the Code.

		
	(g)
	Excess Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any of the payments in respect of an Award under this Incentive Plan, together with any other payments the Participant has the right to receive from the Company or any purchaser, successor, or assign (together, the “Payment”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code), then such Payments shall be payable either in (i) full or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and the Participant shall receive the greater, on an after-tax basis, of (i) or (ii) above, as determined by the Company or an independent accountant or tax advisor selected by the Participant.  In the event that the Payments are to be reduced pursuant to this Section 8(g), such Payments shall be reduced such that the reduction of compensation to be provided to or for the benefit of the Participant as a result of this Section 8(g) is minimized and to effectuate that, the Payments shall be reduced (i) by first reducing or eliminating the portion of such Payments which is not payable in cash (other than that portion of such payments that is subject to clause (iii) below), (ii) then by reducing or eliminating cash Payments (other than that portion of such Payments subject to clause (iii) below) and (iii) then by reducing or eliminating the portion of such Payments (whether or not payable in cash) to which Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1 Q/A 24(c) (or any successor provision thereto) applies, in each case in reverse order beginning with Payments which are to be paid the farthest in time from the date of the change in control transaction.  Any reductions made pursuant to this Section 8(g) shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero.

		
	(h)
	Headings. The headings of the Sections in this Incentive Plan are inserted for convenience only and will not be deemed to affect the meaning of this Incentive Plan.

9.    Effective Date.
