Earned Shares. The Target Award shall become earned, and the number of Performance Share Units actually covered by the Target Award shall become fixed, when the Compensation Committee certifies that the Performance Measures have been achieved during the Performance Period. The number of such Performance Share Units shall be fixed in accordance with Section 3.4(iii) based on the degree (as determined by the Compensation Committee) to which the Performance Measures are achieved during the Performance Period. Such Perfomance Share Units are referred to as “Earned Shares”. The Compensation Committee shall have the authority to exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the level of deemed achievement of the Performance Measures; provided, that, in respect of any Performance Share Unit Award granted to any Participant who is, or is determined by the Compensation Committee to be likely to become, a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor provision), only “negative discretion” (as such term is used in Treasury Regulation section 1.162-27(e)(2)(iii) or any successor provision) may be exercised.
Earned Shares. The Performance Shares granted hereby shall be earned based on the level of the Corporation’s results with respect to each of the Management Objectives established for the Performance Period covered by this Agreement. The number of Performance Shares earned shall be determined based on the level of results of the Management Objectives in accordance with the matrix, which correlates performance against both measures, as set forth on Exhibits B-1 and B-2. No additional Performance Shares shall be earned for results in excess of the maximum level of results for the Management Objectives. If results for a Management Objective are attained at interim levels of performance on the matrix, a proportionate number of Performance Shares shall be earned, as determined by mathematical interpolation, as described by example in Exhibit B-1. If the Corporation’s performance with respect to both Management Objectives is determined to be below the 10th percentile, the number of Performance Shares earned, if any, shall be at the discretion of the Committee, except in the case of Covered Employees.
Earned Shares. Subject to the Committee’s authority to adjust the number of Earned Shares as described in Section 7 of this Schedule A, the Earned Shares at the end of the Performance Period is determined based on the achievement of:
