English term or phrase: Performance Award et Performance-Based Award
Dans un share plan, uen différence est faite entre ces deux termes...
Comment les traduire ? ça me semble identique..

Performance awards take the form of shares of cass A common stock or stock units. Such awards will be contingent upon the attainment of certain performance goals. Such awards may, but need not, be performance-based awards. (voyez????)

Certain benefits granted under the share plan qualify for the performance-based compensation exemption to section 162 of the internal revenue code. Awards of such qualifying Benefits are referred to as "performance-based awards".

Comment traduire ces deux termes qui semblent pourtant identique. Si vous avez une idée? Merci

performance award et performance-based award
bonus performance/bonus à base de performance


Explanation:
The word for "award" is optional, but this is why is makes sense to retain the same structure of terms in the translation -- the first seems to be the name of this award in terms of a corporate employee compenstation plan, to distingusished it from time-based compeonent, etc.
The second term is in the context of a law where is determines whether this earning qualifies for an exemption. The point of your text is to make it clear that the performance award in question may not necessarily qualify for the exemption granted to other similar earnings under the internal revenue code.
