In addition, the Committee may grant performance awards payable to Plan participants upon the achievement of performance goals during applicable performance periods. The maximum number of shares that may be granted under the Plan is 3,000,000, of which no more than 400,000 may be granted to any individual in a calendar year, and the maximum dollar amount with respect to awards denominated in cash that may be granted to an individual in a calendar year is $1,500,000. This description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Plan document, which is filed as Annex A to the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed on October 11, 2012 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
On December 14, 2012, the Committee granted the following awards under the Plan to the Company’s executive officers:

In addition to the PSUs earned when Annual Goals are met, the executive officers may each earn supplemental units if the Company achieves cumulative financial performance measures based on the previous three fiscal years (for example, for fiscal 2013, fiscal years 2011-2013) (the “Three-Year Goals”). If the Three-Year Goals are achieved, executive officers will each vest in additional PSUs of up to 100% of the number of PSUs that vest in that fiscal year upon the satisfaction of the relevant Annual Goals.Supplemental units are earned only in a fiscal year for which units are awarded for meeting the Annual Goals.Except as otherwise provided in an executive officer’s employment agreement, upon his termination of employment for any reason, any unvested PSUs will be forfeited without payment.
The Target PSUs granted to the executive officers are as follows:
