WHEREAS,
the
Grantee and the Company entered into Performance Share Unit Agreements to
memorialize the grant of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) by the Committee on
____________, 2005 and ____________, 2006 (“2005 and 2006

WHEREAS,
the
Committee desires to amend the 2005 and 2006 Agreements to change the treatment

WHEREAS,
the
Grantee agrees to such change;
NOW,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
that
Section 3 in each of the 2005 and 2006 Agreements is hereby deleted in its
entirety and such Section 3 should be replaced with the following:
3. Awards
on Certain Events.
Notwithstanding the requirement in Section 2 of this Agreement that a Grantee
be
actively employed on the last day of the Performance Period:
a) Performance
Share Units shall be awarded at the end of the Performance Period pursuant
to
Section 2 to any Grantee who terminates employment during the Performance
Period:
(i) | on the Grantee’s Retirement Date; | ||
(ii) | on the Grantee’s Disability Retirement Date; | ||
(iii) |
on
the date of the Grantee’s death prior to his termination of employment
from the Corporation; or
|
||
(iv) |
as
a result of a Change in Control.
|
The
number of Performance Share Units awarded pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall
equal the product of the Performance Share Units that would otherwise be awarded
had the Grantee remained employed until the last day of the Performance Period
multiplied by (1) the number of days the Grantee was employed during the
Performance Period over (2) the number of days in the Performance
Period.
b) In
the
event that a transaction constituting a Change in Control is consummated, as
of
the date on which such a transaction is effective, as provided in the agreement
therefore, Section 3(a)(iv) of this Agreement is superseded and the following
shall occur:
The performance goals established in Section 2(b) of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been met at target, and all Performance Shares Units under this Agreement may be adjusted by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan including, but not limited to, its authority to do so under Section 11(c) thereof. |
RESOLVED
FURTHER,
that
except as amended hereby, the 2005 and 2006 Agreements shall remain in full
force and effect as originally entered into by the Company and the
Grantee.

WITNESS WHEREOF,
the
Company has caused this Agreement to Amend Prior Employee Performance Share
Unit
Agreements to be executed by its duly authorized officers under its corporate
seal, and the Grantee has executed this document as of __________ __,
