4.9Financial Performance Goals – Section 16 Officers: The Financial Performance Goals for Section 16 Officers are defined inExhibit A. The Compensation Committee shall determine the performance goal achievement levels required to earn a Performance Payout Percentage of one hundred percent (100%). The results of the Financial Performance Goals as defined inExhibit A shall constitute the entire Incentive Award amount for each Section 16 Officer.
4.10Financial Performance Goals – All Other Participants:The Financial Performance Goals are set forth inExhibit A and shall consist of the performance goal achievement level required to establish an Incentive Award pool whereby the target equates to one-hundred percent (100%). The minimum and maximum for each of the Financial Performance Goals are 0% and 200% respectively, but the minimum and maximum for the Incentive Award pool are 50% and 175% respectively.
4.11Individual Performance Goals – All Other Participants:Participants who are not a Section 16 Officer are eligible to receive a portion of the Incentive Award pool based upon Individual Performance Goals for the Plan Measurement Cycle.

The Individual Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentages shall be based upon actual performance levels achieved against a Participant’s Individual Performance Goals for the Plan Measurement Cycle and shall be determined in accordance with the following scale:
Maximum performance level = Maximum Performance Payout Percentage (200%)
Target performance level = Target Performance Payout Percentage (100%)
Minimum performance level = Minimum Performance Payout Percentage (0%)
Performance Payout Percentages for achievement between these performance levels shall be based on the available Incentive Award pool.
4.12Incentive Award Calculation:
(a) For Section 16 Officers, the Committee shall evaluate actual performance results for the Plan Measurement Cycle, which shall be calculated as the Section 16 Officer Participant’s Financial Performance Component’s weighting percentage as described inSection 4.6multiplied by the Participant’s Base Earnings as an eligible Participant during the Plan Measurement Cycle, multiplied by the Participant’s Target Incentive Percentage, multiplied by the Participant’s Performance Payout Percentage for the Plan Measurement Cycle.
(b) For all other Participants who are not Section 16 Officers, the Incentive Award pool is calculated as each Participant’s Base Earnings multiplied by each Participant’s Target Incentive Percentage, multiplied by the Performance Payout Percentage of the Financial Performance Goals for the Plan Measurement Cycle. The Incentive Award pool is then allocated to the various department managers containing eligible Participants.
(c) For all other Participants who are not Section 16 Officers, each Participant’s Incentive Award shall be determined by each Participant’s manager assessing the performance of each Participant against their Individual Performance Goals for the Plan Measurement Cycle. Each Participant shall be eligible to receive a portion of the established pool of incentive dollars, subject toSection 4.1 andSection 6. If a Participant’s employment is terminated as described inSection 6 and after a Plan Measurement Cycle’s Incentive Award pool has been allocated to other eligible Participants, the terminated Participant’s allocated Incentive Award is forfeited and not reallocated to other eligible Participants from that given Plan Measurement Cycle or any other Plan Measurement Cycle.
