(b) Termination of Employment On Account of Death.

In the event of a Change in Control, the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any Performance Awards shall lapse and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Performance Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at a 1.0x multiple of each of the Target TSR Stock Award and the Target Net Sales Stock Award (in each case, as set forth on Exhibit A) or, if greater, the payout levels prescribed by Exhibit A based on actual performance through the date immediately prior to the Change in Control, and such achieved Performance Awards shall be settled in shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Change in Control. Any portion of the Performance Award that could have been earned in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 that is not earned (in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5) as of the Change in Control shall be immediately forfeited on the Change in Control. Actual performance shall be calculated as if the last day of the Performance Period was the date immediately prior to the Change in Control and, for purposes of calculating the Multiple of Target Net Sales, Target Net Sales shall equal Target Net Sales (as set forth on Exhibit A) multiplied by a fraction equal to (i) the number of days elapsed between January 1, 2010 and the date of the Change in Control divided by (ii) 1096.
