Provided further however that in the event that Executive failed to receive an MICP award in either of the two (2) years preceding the Termination Year as a result of the financial performance of the Company generally (and not as a result of Executive's individual performance) then, in such case, the MICP award to be used for purposes of this Section 3.2 shall be the target MICP award established by the Corporation or the most recent MICP award received by Executive, whichever is greater." |
2. Except as hereinabove amended, the ESA shall continue in full force and effect.
