In determining whether the RSUs have been earned based upon the Performance Targets, the Committee shall consider the effects of the following items, to the extent identified in the audited financial statements of the Company or the Bank (as the case may be), or in the Management Discussion and Analysis section of the Company’s annual report provided to its stockholders: (i) extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring items of gain or loss, (ii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business, (iii) changes in tax or accounting principles, regulations or laws or (iv) mergers or acquisitions.
