The Achievement
Percentage for each Performance Year shall be interpolated to the
actual EPS achieved for that Performance Year; provided, however,
that if the actual EPS achieved for any Performance Year is
(i) less than the corresponding threshold level set forth
above, the Achievement Percentage for such Performance Year shall
be 0% or (ii) greater than the corresponding maximum level set
forth above, the Achievement Percentage for such Performance Year
shall be 200%.
As described
above, the percentage of Performance Units that shall vest at the
end of the Performance Cycle shall be calculated by averaging the
Achievement Percentages attained for each Performance Year in the
Performance Cycle. By way of example, but not
limitation:
2
|
|
•
|
|
If
the actual EPS Performance Level Achieved for each of 2009, 2010
and 2011 was $ ___, $ ___and $ ___, respectively, the corresponding
Achievement Percentages for each of 2009, 2010 and 2011 would be
___%, ___% and ___%, respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Based on the foregoing, the
percentage of Performance Units that would vest at the end of the
Performance Cycle would be the average of the Achievement
Percentages, or ___%.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
As
a result, the Performance Units earned would equal
multiplied by ___%, or
Performance Units.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Of
the
Performance Units earned, the Participant would be entitled to
receive (a) 50% in cash, or $
(calculated by multiplying
Performance Units by $1.00 and multiplying the product by 50%), and
(b) 50% in shares of Common Stock, or
shares (calculated by multiplying
Performance Units by $1.00 and multiplying the product by 50%,
then, dividing by $1.9201, the Fair Market Value of the
Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant) with a cash
settlement to be made for any fractional shares.
|
|
7.
|
|
Settlement of Award:
The cash and shares of
Common Stock underlying the Performance Units which vest pursuant
to Section 6 of this Award Agreement shall be paid by the
Company to the Participant as provided in Section 9 of this
Award Agreement, subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 14 of this Award Agreement, with the number of shares
of Common Stock distributed, if any, rounded down to the next whole
share and a cash settlement made for any fractional shares.
Evidence of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to
this Award Agreement may be accomplished in such manner as the
Company or its authorized representatives shall deem appropriate
including, without limitation, electronic registration, book-entry
registration or issuance of a certificate or certificates in the
name of the Participant or in the name of such other party or
parties as the Company and its authorized representatives shall
deem appropriate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
the event the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Award
Agreement remain subject to any additional restrictions, the
Company and its authorized representatives shall ensure that the
Participant is prohibited from entering into any transaction, which
would violate any such restrictions, until such restrictions
lapse.

Eligibility for Earned Performance
Units: A
Participant will be eligible to receive Performance Units in which
the Participant has a vested interest pursuant to Section 6 of
this Award Agreement only if:
|
|
|
(a)
|
|
The
Participant was approved as a participant for the Performance
Cycle; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
(i) The Participant:
|
|
|
(A)
|
|
continues to be employed by the
Company through the end of the Performance Cycle; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B)
|
|
experiences a Termination of Service
during the Performance Cycle due to death, Total and Permanent
Disability or Retirement (for the purposes of this Agreement,
“Retirement” shall mean any Termination of Service
solely due to retirement upon attainment of age 65, or permitted
Early Retirement as determined by the Committee. Early Retirement
shall mean a person’s Termination of Service with
|
3
the Company:
(i) after attainment of age 55, but before attainment of age
65; and (ii) after completion of 15 years of service);
or
|
|
(ii)
|
|
There is a Change of Control of the
Company during the Performance Cycle.
|
If the
Participant experiences a Termination of Service due to death,
Total and Permanent Disability, Retirement or Early Retirement
during the Performance Cycle, the Participant shall be eligible to
vest in a fraction of the number of Performance Units in which the
Participant may have otherwise vested under Section 6 of this
Award Agreement for the Performance Cycle had the Participant
remained employed until the end of the Performance Cycle. The
fraction of the number of Performance Units in which the
Participant will vest in connection with the Participant’s
Termination of Service due to death, Total and Permanent
Disability, Retirement or Early Retirement will be determined using
a numerator which equals the number of complete Performance Years
that have elapsed since the beginning of the Performance Cycle as
of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and a
denominator which is equal to the number of Performance Years in
the Performance Cycle. In the event such pro-ration results in the
Participant vesting in a fractional number of Performance Units,
the number of Performance Units in which the Participant will vest
will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

otherwise provided i
