Performance Goals Generally. The performance goals for such Performance Awards shall be based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Section 7(b)(ii) and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to such criteria, as specified by the Administrator consistent with this Section 7(b). Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Administrator result in the performance goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Administrator may determine that more than one performance goal must be achieved as a condition to settlement of such Performance Awards.

The Committee also may benchmark Performance Goals under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of other corporations. The Committee will set such Performance Goals within the time prescribed by [Section 162(m)]. The Committee will have the discretion to adjust targets set for pre-established performance objectives as it deems appropriate to reflect the inclusion or exclusion of the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances in accordance with [Section 162(m)]. If the Committee determines it is advisable to grant Awards that will not qualify for the performance-based exception of [Section 162(m)], the Committee may grant Awards that do not so qualify.
