XX Participant deferrals not allowed.

Performance-Based Grants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, certain Shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Section 8 may, at the discretion of the Committee, be granted in a manner which is intended to be deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto). The restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock shall lapse based wholly or partially on the attainment of written performance goals approved by the Committee for a performance period established by the Committee # while the outcome for that performance period is substantially uncertain and # no more than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to which the performance goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal to 25 percent of the relevant performance period. The performance goals, which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more of the criteria set forth in [Section 9(b)] below. The Committee shall determine in its discretion whether, with respect to a performance period, the applicable performance goals have been met with respect to a given Participant and, if they have, shall so certify prior to the release of the restrictions on the Shares.

A special election period

Performance-Based Compensation. "Performance-Based Compensation" means a Bonus that is intended to constitute "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of [Section 162(m)(4)(C)] of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Performance-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements as to the timing of deferral elections with respect to Base Salary, an irrevocable deferral election pertaining to Performance Cash or Performance Shares which qualify as “performance-based compensation” may be made by timely delivering an election form to the Committee, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, no later than six months before the end of the applicable performance period, provided that such compensation is not yet readily ascertainable. “Performance-based compensation” shall be compensation based on services performed over a period of at least twelve (12) months, in accordance with section 409A of the Code and related guidance. (For this purpose, restricted stock does not qualify as “performance-based compensation” unless subject to a performance-based vesting condition or as otherwise qualified under section 409A of the Code and related guidance.) The deferral election for the preceding performance period, if any, shall not automatically carry over and continue in effect for subsequent performance period; rather, an affirmative election for each period shall be required.

Performance-Based Compensation. Pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, if this Award of Performance Units is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, any amounts payable with respect to this Award shall be determined in a manner permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code.

Performance-Based Compensation. Any awards (“Awards”) made to Executives under the Plan will be performance-based compensation with three dimensions. First, the Plan is designed to encourage the Executives to focus on initiatives that support the Company’s long-term strategic objectives but not at the expense of meeting or exceeding the expectations of the Company’s shareholders as reflected in the annual or multi-year performance goals approved by the Committee. There will be no payment of any Awards unless the Company achieves its minimum net income goal pre-established by the Committee.

Cash-Based Awards. The maximum aggregate amount awarded or credited with respect to Cash-Based Awards to any one Participant in any one Plan Year may not exceed the value of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) determined as of the date of vesting or payout, as applicable, plus the amount of the Participant’s unused applicable Annual Award Limit for Cash-Based Awards as of the close of the previous Plan Year.

The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Performance Awards to Participants.

The Administrator is authorized to grant Performance Awards to any Eligible Individual. The value of Performance Awards may be linked to any one or more of the Performance Criteria or other specific criteria determined by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator.
