The performance goals, which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more or the following criteria: (i) earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ii) net income; (iii) operating income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) book value per Share; (vi) return on equity; (vii) expense management; (viii) return on investment before or after the cost of capital; (ix) improvements in capital structure; (x) profitability of an identifiable business unit or product; (xi) maintenance or

The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of its Subsidiaries or one or more of its 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 Committee may adjust, modify or amend the above business criteria, either in establishing any performance goal or in determining the extent to which any performance goal has been achieved. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall have the authority, at the time it establishes the performance goals for the applicable Performance Period, to make equitable adjustments in the business criteria in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or its operating units, in response to changes in applicable laws or regulations, or to account for items of gain, loss or expense determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principles, or as the Committee determines to be appropriate to reflect a true measurement of the profitability of the Company or its operating units, as applicable and to otherwise satisfy the objectives of this Plan. The maximum amount of an Award to any Participant with respect to a fiscal year of the Company shall be $5,000,000.
(b) Payment. 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, to so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Award, and to determine if the applicable Award shall be paid in cash or in the form of equity of the Company in conjunction with the Company's Amended and Restated 1997 Equity Participation Plan (or successor plan). No Awards will be paid for such Performance Period until such certification is made by the Committee. The amount of the Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable performance goal formula (including zero), at the discretion of the Committee. The amount of the 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 the Committee may require a Participant, to the extent consistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, to defer payment of an Award.
(c) Designation of Beneficiary. In the event of the death of a Participant, any payment due under this Plan shall be made to the Participant's estate or beneficiary designated in accordance with Committee rules.
