5.Determination of Award Amounts Payable. Following the completion of each performance period, the Committee will determine the degree to which the applicable performance goals were attained and the corresponding Award amounts that would be payable to participants based on such attainment. The Committee is authorized, in its sole and absolute discretion and based on such factors as it deems relevant, to increase or decrease (including to zero) the amount of an Award that would otherwise be payable to any participant based on attainment of applicable performance goals.
6.Payment of Awards. The amount of any Award determined by the Committee to be payable to a participant will be paid to the participant in a lump sum cash payment (less applicable withholding taxes) no later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the applicable performance period.

The Committee shall have the authority to interpret this Plan and any Award made under this Plan, to establish, amend, waive and rescind any rules relating to the administration of this Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable. The determinations of the Committee in the administration of this Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Committee may delegate all or any portion of its authority under the Plan to any one or more of its members or, as to Awards to participants or eligible employees who are not executive officers of the Company, to one or more executive officers of the Company
