3.02 How Your Award May Be Earned Earlier: Regardless of the regular settlement criteria, your Award will be earned:

• If you die, Retire (i.e., terminate employment after age 55) or become disabled (as defined in the Company’s disability plan) during the Performance Period, you (or your beneficiary) will receive the shares attributable to the Net Income Performance Criteria but only if net income is at least 100% of target net income at any period during the Performance Period and never reaches 180% of target net income at any time during the Performance Period.
