Form and Time of Payment. The Award earned by reason of the Administrator’s certification as described above will be payable to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary, or personal administrator in the case of your death or Disability) in (x) cash, (y) Common Stock or (z) a combination of cash and Common Stock, in all cases, at the Administrator’s sole discretion, during the first calendar year that commences immediately following the Maturity Date and at any time after the Vest Date; provided, that, in all cases, such payment shall occur on or before March 15 of such subsequent calendar year (the “Payment Date”). The number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered, if applicable, on the Payment Date will be determined by multiplying the number of Performance Share Units set forth in paragraph 1 by the Performance Multiple (as defined below) and, as applicable, rounded to the nearest whole number (such resulting number, the “Award Amount”). If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Award Amount on the Vest Date less any portion of the Award Amount paid in Common Stock.
