Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, certain Other Stock-Based Awards granted under this Section 9 may 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) ("Performance-Based Awards"). A Participant's Performance-Based Award shall be determined based on the attainment of written performance goals approved by the Committee for a performance period of not less than one year 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 following criteria: # consolidated earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); # net income; # operating income; # earnings per Share; # book value per Share; # return on shareholders' equity; # expense management; # return on investment; # improvements in capital structure; # profitability of an identifiable business unit or product; # maintenance or improvement of profit margins; # stock price; # market share; # revenues or sales; # costs; # cash flow; # working capital and # return on assets. The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of its Affiliates or one or more of its or their divisions or units, or any combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one or more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Committee shall determine. In addition, to the degree consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto), the performance goals may be calculated without regard to extraordinary items. The Committee shall determine 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 and ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance-Based Award. No Performance-Based Awards will be paid for such performance period until such certification is made by the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable performance goal formula, at the discretion of the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of such performance period; provided, however, that a Participant may, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee and consistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, elect to defer payment of a Performance-Based Award.

Performance-Based Awards. The Committee, at any time, and from time to time, may grant Performance-Based Awards to a Participant in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. Each grant of a Performance-Based Award shall have an initial value or target number of shares of Common Stock that is established by the Committee. The Committee shall establish # performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are achieved, shall determine the value and/or number of shares subject to a Performance-Based Award that will be paid out to the Participant, and # the Performance Period, which shall mean the period of time during which the performance goals must be achieved in order to determine the degree of payout after vesting with respect to any such Performance-Based Award.

Performance-Based Awards. The grant, exercise and/or settlement of Performance-Based Awards shall be contingent upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals and other terms set forth in this [Section 9.3].

Performance-Based Awards. Any Performance-Based Awards held by the Participant that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited.

Performance-Based Awards. The number of shares subject to a Participant’s Performance-Based Award shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares subject to that Award by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full calendar months of employment or service that the Participant was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, beginning on the Award Date and ending on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). Any Performance-Based Awards held by the Participant for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months or greater after the Award Date shall be deemed vested in full. If the Award is conditioned upon Participant’s compliance with a noncompete covenant set forth in the Award Agreement, the Participant’s actual number of shares subject to the Award shall vest, in full, at the end of the later of the Performance Period or the expiration of the noncompete covenant.

Grant of Cash-Based Awards. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Compensation Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Cash-Based Awards to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. The consideration paid by the Participant may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property or any combination thereof), as the Committee shall determine.

Annual Award Limits. No Participant may be granted Options or SARs under the Plan for more than an aggregate of 1,000,000 Shares in a Plan Year, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4. The maximum dollar amount payable under all Performance Unit Awards and Cash-Based Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation plus the maximum value of Shares under all Performance Share Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, in the aggregate, granted to any one Participant in any one Plan Year shall not exceed $5,000,000; for this purpose, the value of Shares shall be the FMV of the Shares on the Grant Date of the applicable Award.

Performance Cash Grant. The Company hereby grants Holder the right to earn and vest in up to a maximum of ​ (the “Performance Cash”). On the Delivery Date, the Performance Cash entitles the Holder to receive a lump sum payment of cash equal to the amount of Earned Performance Cash up to and including the Maximum Performance Cash.

Grant of Awards. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine from the class of Eligible Persons those individuals to whom Awards under the Plan may be granted, the number of Shares subject to each Award, the price (if any) to be paid for the Shares or the Award and, in the case of Performance Awards, in addition to the matters addressed in Section 10, the specific objectives, goals and performance criteria that further define the Performance Award. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement signed by the Company and, if required by the Committee, by the Participant. The Award Agreement shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the Award established by the Committee, and each Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 23, 24, and 26 unless otherwise specifically provided in an Award Agreement.

Grant of Awards. Awards under the Plan are cash bonus opportunities. All Awards under the Plan shall be granted upon terms approved by the Committee which may include, without limitation, the performance goal(s) applicable to Awards and the methodology or other factors for determining the amount (if any) payable with respect to the Award if the Award is earned and payable in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Plan. Each Award shall relate to a designated Plan Year.

The Committee shall from time to time at its discretion select the Eligible Persons who are to be issued Grants and determine the number and type of Grants to be issued under any Award Agreement to an Eligible Person. In particular, the Committee shall # determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Grants awarded hereunder (including, but not limited to the performance goals and periods applicable to the award of Grants); # determine the time or times when and the manner and condition in which each Option shall be exercisable and the duration of the exercise period; and # determine or impose other conditions to the Grant or exercise of Options under the Plan as it may deem appropriate. The Committee may establish such rules, regulations and procedures for the administration of the Plan as it deems appropriate, determine the extent, if any, to which Options, Phantom Shares, Shares (whether or not Shares of Restricted Stock), DERs, Partnership Units or other equity-based awards shall be forfeited (whether or not such forfeiture is expressly contemplated hereunder), and take any other actions and make any other determinations or decisions that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Plan or the administration or interpretation thereof. The Committee shall also cause each Option to be designated as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-qualified Stock Option, except that no Incentive Stock Options may be granted to an Eligible Person who is not an Employee of the Company or a "subsidiary corporation" or a "parent corporation" as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code. The Grantee shall take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents the Committee may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or advisable in order to carry or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on the Grantee pursuant to the express provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement. DERs will be exercisable separately or together with Options, and paid in cash or other consideration at such times and in accordance with such rules, as the Committee shall determine in its discretion. Unless expressly provided hereunder, the Committee, with respect to any Grant, may exercise its discretion hereunder at the time of the award or thereafter. The Committee shall have the right and responsibility to interpret the Plan and the interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any Grant thereunder, including, without limitation, in the event of a dispute, shall be final and binding on all Grantees and other persons to the maximum extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of Section 23, no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Grant hereunder.

Additional Equity Awards: You will continue to be eligible to receive stock-based compensation, whether restricted stock units, performance-based stock units, stock options or otherwise, under the Company’s 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, or other stock-based compensation plans that the Company may establish from time-to-time. In addition to the equity awards granted to you in January 2023, which had a total grant value of $1,250,000, we will grant you additional RSUs with

Payment of Cash-Based Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards. Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award or an Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, in cash or Shares as the Committee determines.

Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award is any Award of Restricted Stock subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.

Long Term Incentive Award (“LTIP Award”). You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual long-term incentive equity grant program with a targeted grant fair value of $6,000,000. For the performance year 2020, you will receive a pro-rated targeted grant fair value of $3,000,000, which will be approved and granted at the first meeting of the Management Development and Compensation Committee after the Effective Date, and will be delivered 50% in Performance Stock Units (based on a Monte Carlo calculation), 30% in Stock Options (based on a Black Scholes methodology), and 20% in Restricted Stock Units ( based on the 30 day average prior to and including the grant date). All LTIP Awards will be governed by the terms and conditions consistent with awards made to other similarly situated officers of the Company.
