The Committee shall determine the actual Award payable to each Participant for each Year or other measurement period, taking into consideration, as it deems appropriate, the performance of the Company, Affiliate and/or a Business Unit, as the case may be, for the Year or other measurement period in relation to the Performance Goals theretofore established by the Committee, and the performance of the respective Participants during the Year or other measurement period. The fact that an Employee is selected as a Participant for any Year or other measurement period shall not mean that such Employee necessarily will receive an Award for that Year or other measurement period. The Committee may, in its discretion, increase or reduce the amount of an Award otherwise earned hereunder after considering such factors as it deems appropriate, including individual performance factors. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant discretionary Awards as it sees fit under the Plan.
Determination of Target Awards. The Committee, in its sole discretion, will establish a Target Award for each Participant (which may be expressed as a percentage of a Participants average annual base salary for the Performance Period or a fixed dollar amount or such other amount or based on such other formula as the Committee determines).
Determination of Individual Awards. Subject to achievement of any applicable minimum threshold objectives established under Section 7, fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 13, and compliance with the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 5(b), the Committee shall, as soon as practicable following, but not later than the December 31st immediately following, the end of a Performance Period, determine the amount of each Award to be made to a Participant under the Plan for the Performance Period, which amount shall, except as otherwise provided below, be the Business Performance Factor multiplied by the Target Award determined for such Participant for such Period pursuant to Section 9. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of any Award that otherwise would be awarded to any Participant for any Performance Period. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, increase the amount of any Award that otherwise would be awarded to any Participant for a Performance Period to an amount that is higher than the applicable Business Performance Factor multiplied by the Target Award based on exceptional individual, unit, division, group or Company performance. A Participant’s final Award may be adjusted up or down by their management to reflect their individual performance, except that any matters affecting Section 16 Persons or Executive Participants shall remain with the Committee. Individual Award amounts may be less than (including $0) or greater than 100% of the related Target Award. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may determine in its sole discretion not to make an Award to a particular Participant or to all Participants selected to participate in the Plan for any Performance Period.
Each member's Guideline Incentive will be expressed in dollars computed by multiplying the member's guideline percentage (indicated in the Company compensation structure) by the member's eligible annual base salary earnings for the incentive year. MIP employees receiving overtime will have MIP based on eligible base pay and overtime earnings. Actual incentives paid may vary from Guideline Incentive amounts based on the performance of the branch, district, or corporation.
Determination of Target Awards. The Administrator shall establish a Target Award for each Participant for each Performance Period, and the Administrator (or its designee) shall communicate the applicable Target Award to each Participant.
Determination of Actual Awards. After the end of each Performance Period, the Administrator will determine the extent to which the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant for the Performance Period were achieved or exceeded. The Actual Award for each Participant will be determined by applying the Payout Formula to the level of actual performance that has been determined by the Administrator; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Administrator may # reduce or eliminate the Actual Award that otherwise would be payable under the Payout Formula; # increase the Actual Award; or # determine whether or not any Participant will receive an Actual Award in the event that the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment before such Actual Award is to be paid pursuant to [Section 4.2]. If a Participants Actual Award is reduced or eliminated, no other Participants Actual Award shall be increased as a result. The Administrator has the absolute discretion to reduce or eliminate payment of an Actual Award if in the Administrators judgment corporate performance, financial condition, individual performance, general economic conditions, or other similar factors make such reduction or elimination appropriate.
Judicial Determination. In the event the Committee for any reason considers it improper to direct any payment as specified in this [Section 10.1], it may have a court of competent jurisdiction determine to whom payments should be made, in which event all expenses incurred in obtaining such determination may be deducted from the unpaid Deferred Compensation or charged to the payee. Any such payment shall constitute a complete discharge of all liability of the Employers to such Participant under the Plan.
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.
