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:

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.

 

8.

 

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.
