ARTICLE 3.
ELIGIBILITY

           Section 3.1. Selection of Participants . The Administrator shall select the key employees of the Company or an Affiliate for participation in the Plan. No employee shall have any right to receive an Annual Performance Award in any year even if an Annual Performance Award has been previously granted in prior years. In general, it is expected that the Administrator will determine which key employees are to receive an Annual Performance Award prior to, or within the first ninety (90) days of, the first day of the applicable Performance Period.

           Section 3.2. Termination of Approval . Until the earlier of the end of a Performance Period or a Participant’s termination of employment, the Administrator may at any time withdraw its approval for a Participant’s participation in the Plan. In the event of the Administrator’s withdrawal of approval, the employee concerned shall cease to be a Participant as of the date selected by the Administrator, the employee’s Annual Performance Awards shall be cancelled, and the employee shall not be entitled to any payment under those Annual Performance Awards unless the Administrator determines otherwise. If payment is approved by the Administrator notwithstanding the withdrawal of approval, the payment shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2, subject to Section 5.3, after the end of the Performance Period, and the payment amount shall equal the award amount calculated under Section 5.1, reduced in such manner or by such amount (if at all) as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. A Participant shall be notified of the Administrator’s withdrawal of its approval for the Participant’s participation in the Plan as soon as practicable following such action.

           Section 3.3. Transfers In, Out and Between Eligible Positions .

          (a) Notwithstanding Section 3.1, if a key employee is hired or promoted into a position that is eligible for an Annual Performance Award, the Administrator may (1) select such key employee as a Participant at any time during the course of a Performance Period, (2) take action resulting in a key employee’s receipt of an additional Annual Performance Award, where, with respect to a particular Performance Period already in progress, the key employee is currently a Participant in the Plan and already has an Annual Performance Award for that Performance Period, or (3) change the Performance Goals, Performance Measures, Performance Scale or potential award amount under an Annual Performance Award that is already in effect; provided that the Administrator may not apply the discretion described in clause (3) with regard to any Annual Performance Award that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m). The Administrator may, but is not required to, prorate the amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Participant under such Annual Performance Award had the Participant been employed during the entire Performance Period to reflect the Participant’s actual period of employment during the Performance Period.

          (b) If a Participant is demoted during a Performance Period, the Administrator may decrease the potential award amount of any Annual Performance Award the Participant may be eligible to receive, or revise the Performance Goals, Performance Measures or Performance Scale applicable to the Participant (provided that any such revision as applied to an individual who is a covered employee under Code Section 162(m) may result only in a reduction of the amount that would have otherwise been payable absent such revision), as the Administrator

determines is necessary to reflect the Participant’s demotion, or the Administrator may withdraw its approval for the Participant’s participation in the Plan in accordance with Section 3.2.

          (c) If a Participant is transferred from employment by the Company to the employment of an Affiliate, or vice versa, the Administrator may revise the Participant’s Annual Performance Award to reflect the transfer, including but not limited to, changing the potential award amount, Performance Measures, Performance Goals and Performance Scale applicable to the Participant (provided that any such revision as applied to an individual who is a covered employee under Code Section 162(m) may result only in a reduction of the amount that would have otherwise been payable absent such revision).

           Section 3.4. Termination of Employment .

          (a) Except as otherwise provided under the terms of an employment or severance agreement between a Participant and the Company, no Participant shall earn an incentive award for a Performance Period unless the Participant is employed by the Company or an Affiliate (or is on an approved leave of absence) on the last day of such Performance Period, unless the Participant’s employment was terminated during the year as a result of Retirement, Total and Permanent Disability or death at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, or unless payment is approved by the Administrator after considering the cause of the Participant’s termination. If payment is approved by the Administrator, the payment shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2, subject to Section 5.3, after the end of the Performance Period, and the payment amount shall equal the award amount calculated under Section 5.1, reduced in such manner or by such amount (if at all) as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

          (b) If a Participant’s employment is terminated as a result of death, Total and Permanent Disability or Retirement, at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, then unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary or estate in the event of his or her death) shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the product of (x) the award amount calculated under Section 5.1 and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Participant’s whole calendar months of employment during the Performance Period for such award and the denominator of which is the number of calendar months in the Performance Period for such award. Payment shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2, subject to Section 5.3.

ARTICLE 4.
