Qualifying Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment during a Performance Period due to a Qualifying Retirement with respect to such Performance Period, the Participant will be entitled to receive the Shares, if any, that the Committee determines (in accordance with Section 5) to be payable with respect to the Award Opportunity for such Performance Period, as if the Participant had remained continuously employed through the end of the Performance Period.

Qualifying Retirement.
