Voting Rights and Dividend Equivalents
As a holder of PSUs, during the period from the Grant Date until the date the PSUs are paid, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional PSUs (“Dividend Equivalent PSUs”). The number of Dividend Equivalent PSUs will be determined as follows: multiply the number of PSUs and Dividend Equivalent PSUs currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on Common Stock, then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent PSUs will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original PSUs that gave rise to them, including performance vesting and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent PSUs on the date the PSUs are paid, the Dividend Equivalent PSUs will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of PSUs. This Award represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive payment in the future, and does not entitle you to voting rights or dividend rights as a shareholder.
Performance Vesting

This Award Agreement also sets forth the Maximum Number of Units (the "Maximum Units") that you may receive pursuant to this Award. Your right to receive all, any portion of, or more than the Target Units (but in no event more than the Maximum Units) will be contingent upon the achievement of specified levels of certain performance goals measured over the Performance Period. The applicable performance goals and the payout factors for each performance goal applicable to your Award for the Performance Period are set forth in Attachment B.

Within 60 days following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine (i) whether and to what extent the performance goals have been satisfied for the Performance Period, (ii) the number of PSUs that shall become deliverable under this Award, and (iii) whether the other applicable conditions for receipt of shares of Common Stock in respect of the PSUs have been met. Any PSUs not approved by the Committee in accordance with this paragraph will be forfeited and cancelled.
