Any individual who is granted an Option pursuant to this Article 4 may hold more than one Option granted pursuant to the Plan at the same time.

Award Agreements. The terms of Other Equity Awards granted hereunder shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the Plan. The terms of such Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

Incentive awards paid under the Plan will be based solely on the attainment of specified performance goals established by the Committee during the first 90 days of the Plan Year. Performance goals will be based on objective criteria specifically defined by the Committee on a Company, business unit or peer group comparison basis, which may include or exclude specified items of an unusual or non-recurring nature and are based on one or more of the following: net income, return on assets, return on net assets, return on sales, return on capital, return on equity, return on revenue, sales growth, market share, cash flow, cost reduction, total shareholder return, economic value added, cash flow return on investment and cash value added. Performance goals may include a minimum, maximum and target level of performance with the size of individual awards, if any, based on the level attained. Actual goal attainment will be certified in writing by the Committee before payout.
