of Performance Goal

For EPS Growth below the “threshold” percentage level, no Shares shall be deliverable to the Grantee. For EPS Growth between (i) the “threshold” percentage level and the “target” percentage level or (ii) between the “target” percentage level and the “maximum” percentage level (as specified in Table 1, above), the whole and/or partial number of Shares deliverable with respect to each Performance Share Unit will be interpolated by the Committee to three decimal places.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Appendix A to the contrary, to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code and any other applicable laws or regulations, the Committee may adjust the “target,” “threshold” and “maximum” EPS Growth performance percentage levels, in its sole discretion, so as to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the Grantee’s Performance Share Units as a result of any event specified in the definition of “Performance Goals” in the Plan, but only to the extent that the exercise of such discretion would not cause the Performance Share Units to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.
