Amendment of 2005 Executive Incentive Plan
On December 29, 2006, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its 2005 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
Under the Plan, each year a maximum fund is established by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Trustees (the “Committee”) based on the salaries of the eligible participants at the end of the prior year. Eligible participants are executives that the Committee designates. An award to a participant is payable in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after the award date. A participant may defer a portion of an award into the Company's Deferred Income Plan, as amended. (The Deferred Income Plan was included as Exhibit 10.19 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and Amendment No. 1 to the Deferred Income Plan was included as Exhibit 10.2.2 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2001.)
Under the Amendment, in making the determination of the maximum fund the Committee is to consider the Company’s performance with respect to goals for Company Net Income, Operating Budget and Performance Indicators (as such terms are defined in the Amendment) and may, as the Committee deems relevant, consider additional factors. For any year in which the Company omits a dividend on its common stock or Company Net Income is less than 90% of its target, the maximum fund shall be reduced to zero, unless the Committee determines otherwise. Awards from the maximum fund to participants (other than those with employment agreements providing otherwise) will be based upon Company Net Income, achievement of relevant Operating Budget goals and Performance Indicators, and individual performance.
A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The Plan was included as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated December 29, 2005. The foregoing description should be read in conjunction with such exhibits, which are incorporated herein by reference.
