Each Participant’s award will be based upon the level of actual performance achieved relative to the established performance measures, as determined by a percentage from 0 percent to a maximum of 250 percent, as determined by the Administrator.
The Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine each Participant’s award. The Administrator’s decision will be based upon the level of actual performance achieved.
The Board in its sole discretion shall approve the amount of the aggregate incentive compensation awards to be granted based on the recommendation of the Committee. The incentive compensation awards to be made to the Chairman of the Board and/or the Chief Executive Officer of Commerce shall be determined by the Committee. All other awards to be made under this Plan may be determined by the Committee, or should the Committee so direct, by a committee consisting of the Chief Executive Officer of Commerce, a Vice Chairman designated by the Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive Director of Talent Management.
Actual performance shall be compared to any predetermined Performance Goals to determine payout of Awards. An authorized Administrator shall then determine the percentage of the Target Award (using the related payout schedule) to be distributed to Employees for the relevant Performance Period as it may determine in its sole and complete discretion.
Determination of Award. Following the completion of each Performance Period and prior to payment of any Award, the Committee shall certify in writing whether and the extent to which the applicable Performance Targets have been achieved for such Performance Period and the amount of the Award, if any, pursuant to this Section 4, earned by Participants for such Performance Period. In determining the amount of the Award earned by a Participant for a given Performance Period, the Committee shall have the right to eliminate or reduce (but not to increase) the incentive amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.
Incentive Compensation Award Determination. The Committee shall make a written determination prior to payment of an Incentive Compensation Award as to the degree to which the applicable performance objective(s) has(have) been attained and the resulting Incentive Compensation Award payment amount. With respect to any such Committee determination, approved minutes of the meeting in which the determination is made shall be treated as written determination.
Determination of Award Amounts. Following the completion of a performance period, the Committee will review actual performance as measured against the pre-established performance goals for that period. If threshold performance goals that were established by the Committee are not achieved, no awards will be paid under the Plan. In the event that the performance goals have been met or exceeded, the Committee will approve # the extent to which the performance goals applicable to a participant have been achieved, making any adjustments that the Committee deems appropriate; and # the resulting amount of each individual participant’s award. The actual award paid to a given participant may be higher or lower than his or her target award; however, no award paid to a single participant may exceed $3 million for twelve-month performance period (or a pro rata dollar amount for any performance period that is not twelve months).
Determination of Annual Incentive Award. The Annual Incentive Award for each Participant shall be determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.1. in its sole discretion based on the attainment of the Performance Measure(s) or such other factors as the Committee determines in its sole discretion.
