Administration. Currently, the Long-Term Plan is administered by the Compensation and Management Resources Committee, each member of which is an “outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Long-Term Plan also provides that the plan may be administered by a sub-committee of the Compensation and Management Resources Committee. The Committee has the authority to grant awards, determine performance criteria, certify attainment of performance goals, construe and interpret the Long-Term Plan and make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Long-Term Plan.
