Limitations on Awards. The maximum number of shares that may be awarded pursuant to options, restricted stock, RSUs, and performance units and shares under the Amended and Restated Plan to any “covered employee,” as such term is defined in the regulations promulgated under Code Section 162(m), in any one calendar year is limited to 200,000 shares of our common stock unless, as described on page 68 of this Proxy Statement, the Committee determines that the award of such shares will not be designed to comply with the exception for performance-based compensation from the tax deductibility limitations of Section 162(m). In addition, in any one calendar year, a “covered employee” may not receive a cash amount payable under the Amended and Restated Plan greater than $3,000,000 unless, as described on page 68 of this Proxy Statement, the Committee determines that the award of such amount will not be designed to comply with the exception for performance-based compensation from the tax deductibility limitations of Section 162(m). The maximum number of shares that may be awarded pursuant to any award under the Amended and Restated Plan during any calendar year to any non-employee member of our Board is limited to 50,000.
