For purposes of this Plan, such Associates are limited to the Chief Executive Officer, Vice Presidents, Directors, Managers and Supervisors, by job title, provided that they are assigned a salary grade of E-12 or above; provided, however, that non-U.S. Associates will be eligible for participation in the Plan based upon job title only.

3.2Participation:Participation in the Plan shall be determined annually by the Vice President, Human Resources; provided, however, that participation by Section 16 Officers of the Company shall be determined by the Committee. Associates approved for participation shall be notified of their selection.
3.3Partial Plan Year Participation:The Vice President, Human Resources may allow an Associate who becomes eligible during the Plan Year, either as a new hire or as a result of an internal promotion, to participate in the Plan; provided, however, participation by Section 16 Officers of the Company shall be determined by the Committee. In either such case, for purposes of calculating any Incentive Award, any such Participant’s Base Earnings for the Annual Performance Period and the applicable Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period shall be pro-rated based on the time during the applicable period that the Associate was an eligible Participant.

3.4Changes In Participation Level and/or Organizational Unit:A Participant who changes positions and/or is assigned to a different organizational unit (as defined by their reporting relationship), during the Plan Year, shall have their Incentive Award calculated on a prorated basis using the time eligible in each position to account for changes in the calculation components. However, if such a change occurs on or after November 1, 2009, the Participant’s Incentive Award for time worked from November 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 will be calculated using the measures of the Participant’s position immediately preceding November 1, 2009.
3.5Leave of Absence:A Participant on an approved leave of absence, as defined by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, shall be considered eligible for a full Incentive Award payable at the same time as other Participants.

All Participants who are on an approved leave of absence shall be considered employed for purposes ofSection 4.1.
3.6No Right to Participate: Participation by an Associate in the Plan in any period prior to the Plan Year does not provide a right or entitlement to be selected for participation in the Plan Year or any future period.
SECTION 4 – INCENTIVE AWARD DETERMINATION
4.1Eligibility for Incentive Award:Except as provided inSection 6, in order to be eligible to receive an Incentive Award for any Plan Year, a Participant must be employed continuously as a Participant through the entire Plan Year (or partial Plan Year, in accordance withSection 3.3) and at the time that the Incentive Award is paid.
4.2 Financial Performance Goals:
(a) The Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals for the Company and its business units for the first Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period and for the second Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period are set forth inExhibit A. Each Participant’s Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals for the second Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period shall consist of the same performance measures (e.g., Income from Operations, Revenue) applicable on the last business day of the first Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period with respect to such Participant’s Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals for the first Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period, except as described inExhibit A. The Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goal for the first Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period shall consist of the performance goal achievement level required to earn a Performance Payout Percentage of one-hundred percent (100%); and the Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goal for the second Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period shall consist of the performance goal achievement level required to earn a Performance Payout Percentage of thirty-three percent (33%).
(b) The Performance Payout Percentages that will be awarded for the respective Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals and the Annual Financial Performance Goals at various performance levels are set forth inExhibit A. The maximum Performance Payout Percentages for the Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals for the Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period is 100% for each period and the maximum Performance Payout Percentages for the Annual Financial Performance Goals is 200%.
4
4.3Individual Performance Goals:All Participants are eligible to receive a portion of their Incentive Award based upon Individual Performance Goals for the Plan Year, which shall be communicated to Participants promptly after such Individual Performance Goals are determined.
(a) The Individual Performance Goals for Section 16 Officers, and the Individual Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentages for achievement against such Individual Performance Goals by Section 16 Officers, shall be determined by the Committee prior to March 31, 2009.
(b) Individual Performance Goals (including minimum, target and maximum performance levels) for all Participants other than Section 16 Officers shall be approved by their respective functional Vice Presidents. The Individual Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentages for all other Participants shall be based upon actual performance levels achieved against their Individual Performance Goals for the Plan Year and shall be determined in accordance with the following scale:
Maximum performance level = Maximum Performance Payout Percentage (200%)
Target performance level = Target Performance Payout Percentage (100%)
Minimum performance level = Minimum Performance Payout Percentage (0%)
Performance Payout Percentages for achievement between these performance levels shall be calculated based on a scale determined by the Vice President, Human Resources (or Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers), and such scale shall be communicated to such Participants promptly after they are determined. In no case shall the Individual Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentage exceed 200%, nor shall any payment be made for achievement that falls below the minimum performance level.
4.4Incentive Components:All Participants shall have their individual Incentive Award calculated on the basis of two independent incentive components, a “Financial Performance Component” (as measured by achievement of Financial Performance Goals) and an “Individual Performance Component” (as measured by Individual Performance Goals), which shall each be given a weighting percentage such that the total of both percentages equals 100%. These two incentive components will be calculated separately and added together to determine the Participant’s Incentive Award as set forth inSection 4.5. The assignment and weighting of the two incentive components (a) shall be communicated to Participants at the same time as their eligibility notification, (b) with respect to Section 16 Officers shall be determined by the Committee, and (c) with respect to other Participants, shall be determined by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Vice President, Human Resources.
4.5Incentive Award Calculation:
(a) The Company shall evaluate actual performance results for each of the Semi-Annual Financial Performance Periods against the respective Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period’s Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals. Each Participant’s Incentive Award with respect to the Participant’s Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals for both Semi-Annual Financial Performance Periods (the “Combined Semi-Annual Award”) shall be calculated as the Participant’s Financial Performance Component’s weighting percentage multiplied by the sum of (i) the Participant’s Base Earnings during the first Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period, multiplied by the Participant’s Target Incentive Percentage, multiplied by the Participant’s Performance Payout Percentage for the first Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period, plus (ii) the Participant’s Base Earnings during the second Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period, multiplied by the Participant’s Target Incentive Percentage, multiplied by the Participant’s Performance Payout Percentage for the second Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period,
5
(b) The Company shall also evaluate actual performance results for the Annual Performance Period against the Annual Financial Performance Goals. Each Participant’s Incentive Award with respect to the Participant’s Annual Financial Performance Goals (the “Annual Award”) shall be calculated as the amount, if any, by which (i) the Participant’s Financial Performance Component’s weighting percentage, multiplied by the Participant’s Base Earnings during the Annual Performance Period, multiplied by the Participant’s Target Incentive Percentage, multiplied by the Performance Payout Percentage for the Annual Performance Period, exceeds (ii) the amount of the Combined Semi-Annual Award. In no event shall the Annual Award be a negative number.
(c) Each Participant’s Incentive Award with respect to the Participant’s Individual Performance Goal (the “Individual Award”) shall be calculated as the Participant’s Individual Performance Component’s weighting percentage multiplied by the Participant’s Base Earnings during the Plan Year, multiplied by the Participant’s Target Incentive Percentage, multiplied by the Participant’s Performance Payout Percentage for the Participant’s Individual Performance Goal.
The above computations shall be made using the following formula:
INCENTIVE AWARD =
Financial Performance Component:
1. Combined Semi-Annual Award, which shall equal H times the sum of (A x B x E) plus (A x C x F)
2. Annual Award, which shall equal the amount by which (H x A x D x G) exceeds the Combined Semi-Annual Award
Individual Performance Component: multiply A x D x I x J
Where:
A = Target Incentive Percentage
B = Base Earnings during the first Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period
C = Base Earnings during the second Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period
D = Base Earnings during the Plan Year
E = Performance Payout Percentage for the first Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period
F = Performance Payout Percentage for the second Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period
G = Performance Payout Percentage for Annual Financial Performance Goal
H = Financial Performance Component weighting percentage
I = Performance Payout Percentage for Individual Performance Goal
J = Individual Performance Component weighting percentage
4.6Illustrative Example:The following example is provided for illustrative purposes. If (a) a Participant’s Target Incentive Percentage was equal to 10%, (b) the Participant’s Base Earnings during the Plan Year were equal to $80,000 ($40,000 during each Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period), (c) the applicable Performance Payout Percentage for the first applicable Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period was equal to 80%, (d) the applicable Performance Payout Percentage for the second applicable Semi-Annual Financial Performance Period was equal to 100%, (e) the applicable Annual Financial Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentage was equal to 100% (f) the applicable Performance Payout Percentage for the Participant’s Individual Performance Goal was equal to 110%, and (g) Financial Performance Component weighting percentage was 60% and Individual Performance Component weighting percentage was equal to 40%; then the amount of Incentive Award earned would be equal to:
Financial Performance Component:
| | |
| 1. Combined Semi-Annual Award | | = 60% x [(10% x $40,000 x 80%) + (10% x $40,000 x 100%)] |
| | = 60% x [$3,200 + $4,000] = 60% x $7,200 = $4,320 |
|
| 2. Annual Award = (60% x 10% x $80,000 x 100%) - $4,320 = $4,800 - $4,320 = $480 |
Total Financial Performance Component Incentive Award = $4,320 + $480 = $4,800
6
Individual Performance Component: 10% x $80,000 x 110% x 40% = $3,520
Total Incentive award = $4,320 + $480 + $3,520 = $8,320
4.7Multiple Financial Performance Goals:In cases where multiple financial performance measures are used with respect to one Financial Performance Goal, such financial performance measures will be calculated separately and the assigned weighting with respect to each financial performance measure shall be used to determine a single Financial Performance Goal achievement percentage.
4.8Minimum Performance Standard:Participants whose personal performance is rated as “Substantially Below Expectations” as part of the Company’s Annual Performance Management Review process shall not be eligible to receive an award under this Plan, including any incentive resulting from the achievement of Financial Performance Goals and/or Individual Performance Goals.
SECTION 5 – PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE AWARDS
5.1Form and Timing of Payment:Payment of Incentive Awards shall be made in cash, subject to applicable payroll tax and benefit plan withholdings, after the end of the Plan Year following the final determination of the fiscal year’s financial results, but in any event, such payment shall be made during the calendar year following the end of the Plan Year.
5.2Performance-Based Compensation Exemption from Code Section 162(m):With respect to Incentive Awards payable to Section 16 Officers, the Individual Award and the Incentive Awards with respect to Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals are intended to meet the performance-based exception under Code Section 162(m). Before any such Incentive Award is paid to a Section 16 Officer, the Committee shall certify in writing that the related Semi-Annual Financial Performance Goals or Individual Performance Goals, as applicable, have been satisfied.
