Committee Discretion. Unless a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Committee retains the sole discretion to reduce the number of Performance Shares earned, with respect to any or all Participants, if the formula would result in payouts that the Committee deems to be disproportionate to Company performance or other circumstances merit a reduction in the amounts earned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the percentage of the target award to be vested based on Total Shareholder Return shall not exceed 50% (threshold level) if the absolute Total Shareholder Return of the Company for the Performance Period is negative.
Payment of Awards. The number of Performance Shares earned shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 or 3.3 of the Sub-Plan, as appropriate. Further, the terms of the awards are subject to the applicable provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 8, 2011, by and among Duke Energy Corporation, Diamond Acquisition Corporation and the Company, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 10, 2011.
