Administration.
(a) Authority of the
Committee . The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.
The Committee shall have full and final authority, in each case
subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to
select Eligible Persons to become Participants, grant Awards,
determine the type, number and other terms and conditions of, and
all other matters relating to, Awards, prescribe Award agreements
(which need not be identical for each Participant) and rules and
regulations for the administration of the Plan, construe and
interpret the Plan and Award agreements and correct defects, supply
omissions or reconcile inconsistencies therein, and to make all
other decisions and determinations as the Committee may deem
necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan.
2
(b) Manner of Exercise of
Committee Authority . At any time that a member of the
Committee is not a Qualified Member, any action of the Committee
relating to an Award intended by the Committee to qualify as
“performance-based compensation” within the meaning of
Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder, may be taken
either (i) by a subcommittee, designated by the Committee,
composed solely of two or more Qualified Members, or (ii) by
the Committee but with each such member who is not a Qualified
Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from such action;
provided, however, that, upon such abstention or recusal, the
Committee remains composed solely of two or more Qualified Members.
Such action, authorized by such a subcommittee or by the Committee
upon the abstention or recusal of such non-Qualified Member(s),
shall be the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan. Any
action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on
all persons, including the Corporation, its subsidiaries,
Participants, Beneficiaries, or other persons claiming rights from
or through a Participant, and shareholders. The express grant of
any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action
by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or
authority of the Committee. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Committee may delegate to officers or managers of the
Corporation or any subsidiary, or committees thereof, the
authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine,
to perform such functions, including administrative functions, as
the Committee may determine, to the extent that such delegation
will not cause Awards intended to qualify as
“performance-based compensation” under Code
Section 162(m) to fail to so qualify. The Committee may
appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan.
(c) Limitation of Liability .
The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good
faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished
to him or her by any executive officer, other officer or employee
of the Corporation or a subsidiary, the Corporation’s
independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in
the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee and any
officer or employee of the Corporation or a subsidiary acting at
the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally
liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith
with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Corporation with
respect to any such action or determination.
4. Eligibility

fiscal year during any part of which the Plan is in effect, the
maximum cash amount that may be earned under the Plan as a final
Annual Incentive Award or other cash annual Award in respect of any
fiscal year by any one Participant shall be $10 million, and the
maximum cash amount that may be earned under the Plan as a final
Performance Award or other cash Award in respect of a performance
period other than an annual period by any one Participant on an
annualized basis shall be $5 million.

Performance and Annual Incentive
Awards .
|
(a) Performance Conditions .
The right of a Participant to exercise or receive a grant or
settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to
such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee.
The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of
performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any
performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to reduce
or increase the amounts payable under any Award subject to
performance conditions, except as limited under Sections 5(b) and
5(c) hereof in the case of a Performance Award or Annual Incentive
Award intended to qualify under Code
Section 162(m).
(b) Performance Awards Granted to
Designated Covered Employees . If the Committee determines that
a Performance Award to be granted to an Eligible Person who is
designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee
should qualify as “performance-based compensation” for
purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant, exercise and/or
settlement of such Performance Award shall be contingent upon
achievement of pre-established performance goals and other terms
set forth in this Section 5(b).
(i) Performance Goals
Generally . The performance goals for such Performance Awards
shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level
or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as
specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 5(b).
Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the
requirements of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder
(including Regulation 1.162-27 and successor regulations thereto),
including the requirement that the level or levels of performance
targeted by the Committee result in the achievement of performance
goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Committee
may determine that such Performance Awards shall be granted,
exercised and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance
goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be achieved
as a condition to grant, exercise and/or settlement of such
Performance Awards. Performance goals may differ for Performance
Awards granted to any one Participant or to different
Participants.
(ii) Business Criteria . One
or more of the following business criteria for the Corporation, on
a consolidated basis, and/or for specified subsidiaries or business
units of the Corporation (except with respect to the total
shareholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be used
by the Committee in establishing performance goals for such
Performance Awards: (1) earnings pe
