The Committee may grant Other Stock-Based Awards not otherwise described by the terms of this Plan to a Participant in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. Such Awards may involve the transfer of actual Shares to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Shares.

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.

Performance-Based Restrictions. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide restrictions that lapse upon the attainment of specified performance objectives. In such case, the provisions of Sections 9.2 and 9.3 will apply (including, but not limited to, the enumerated performance objectives). If the Award Agreement governing an Award provides that such Award is intended to be “performance based compensation,” the provisions of Article 9 will also apply.

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.
