that this group numbers less than 20 people, the next highest paid
executive(s) (excluding “talent”), who earn more than $5 million in total
compensation in descending order until the group numbers 20 people. The
executive officers and other employees whose compensation packages are

determining the long-term incentive component of the Chairman’s and the
Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, the Committee shall consider,

positions at comparable companies, and the awards given to the Chairman

to the Board on this process.

162(m) Plan”) and the equity-based plans (collectively, the “Plans”), the
appropriateness of the allocation of benefits under the Plans and the extent
to which such Plans are meeting their intended objectives and, where
appropriate, recommend that the Board modify any Plan that yields
payments and benefits that are not reasonably related to employee
performance.
6. Oversee the administration of the Plans in accordance with their terms,
construe all terms and provisions, conditions and limitations of such Plansand make factual determinations required for the administration of such
Plans.

to subcommittees or individuals as it deems appropriate and in accordance with
