(1)

Earnings per share (EPS) amounts used for purposes of determining short-term incentive pool will be based on utility earnings from continuing operations only

 

(2)

If cash flow amounts do not meet the target amount, the short term incentive pool will only be funded at 85%.

 

(3)

If the Threshold EPS level of $2.32, which is the mid-point of utilities earnings per share guidance issued on February 8, 2007, is not met, there will be no payout for the 2007 plan year

 

MICP Target Incentives: Achievement of the target level goals and objectives may result in a payout of 100% of the incentive opportunity. However, a participant’s final award may range anywhere from 0 to 200% of that target based on an individual’s achievement of performance goals. Incentive opportunity is expressed as a percentage of eligible earnings for the plan year.
