The Performance Goals may be based on (i) absolute target values, (ii) growth, maintenance or limiting losses, as compared to a prior period, or (iii) values relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or to the performance of one or more relevant indices. The Performance Goals may be measured on a Company-wide basis or solely with respect to one or more business units, divisions, affiliates, or business segments. The Performance Goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from Award to Award. In establishing a Performance Goal on the Target Determination Date, the Committee shall define, in an objective fashion, the manner of calculating the Performance Goal it selects to use for such Performance Period. The Performance Goals shall be determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), unless the Committee determines that a non-GAAP measure can and will be used in a manner that complies with Section 162(m). The Committee may provide that the attainment of the Performance Goal shall be measured by appropriately adjusting the evaluation of Performance Goal performance as follows: to include or exclude restructuring and/or other nonrecurring charges; to include or exclude exchange rate effects, as applicable, for non-U.S. dollar denominated Performance Goals; to include or exclude the effects of changes to GAAP required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board; to include or exclude the effects of any statutory adjustments to corporate tax rates; to include or exclude the effects of any "extraordinary items" as determined under GAAP; to include or exclude the effect of payment of the bonuses under this Plan and any other bonus plans of the Company; to include or exclude the effect of stock based compensation and/or deferred compensation; to include or exclude any other unusual, non-recurring gain or loss or other extraordinary item; to respond to, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development; to respond to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions; to include or exclude the effects of divestitures, acquisitions or joint ventures; to include or exclude the effects of discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business unit under GAAP; to assume that any business divested by the Company achieved performance objectives at targeted levels during the balance of a Performance Period following such divestiture; to include or exclude the effect of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend or split, stock repurchase, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or any distributions to common shareholders other than regular cash dividends; to reflect a corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, separation (including a spinoff or other distribution of stock or property by a corporation), or reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code); to reflect any partial or complete corporate liquidation; to reflect shippable backlog; and to include or exclude the amortization of purchased intangibles, technology license arrangements and incomplete technology. The amount of any adjustment made pursuant to the prior sentence shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, unless the Committee determines that a non-GAAP adjustment can and will be used in a manner that complies with Section 162(m).
