Business Growth Program

The Business Growth Program (“BGP”) is a part of The Procter & Gamble Company’s
(the “Company” or “P&G”) long-term incentive plan and is designed to provide
additional focus on key Company measures for top executives with senior
management responsibility for total Company results. Awards are made pursuant to
the authority delegated by the Board of Directors to the Compensation &
Leadership Development Committee (the “Committee”) for awarding additional
remuneration and the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan.

I. ELIGIBILITY

The Chief Executive and those principal officers recommended by management and
approved by the Committee may participate.

II. CALCULATION

A BGP Award may be payable for a three-year performance period starting on July
1 of the first year and ending on June 30 three years later (“Performance
Period”). Interim awards may also be payable at the conclusion of the first and
second years of the program. The Committee reviews and approves awards relative
to the base period of the fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year of the
Performance Period unless adjusted for the reasons set forth below. It assesses
Company performance according to the pre-established financial measures of
diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) growth and operating total shareholder return
(“OTSR”).

Adjustments may be made for significant acquisitions and divestitures, major
equity investments, or other unusual items not reflected in the Company’s
operating plan or base year results. In all cases, the Committee retains
discretion to determine whether certain items should be included or excluded
from award calculations and to verify that awards are appropriate and consistent
with the long-term interests of shareholders. The Committee has the discretion
to change the duration of the Performance Period. The Committee may reduce the
Three Year Award if it determines that payouts do not correspond to actual
business results.

·  
The Three-Year Award is calculated as: (Award Payout Factor) X (Participant's
Target Award).

The Award Payout Factor ranging from 0% to 200% is assessed relative to a
performance level of EPS growth and OTSR.

A Participant’s Target Award is based on a multiple of the executive’s base
salary at the beginning of any Performance Period. For the Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive the target is two times base salary, times the number of
years participating in the Performance Period. For all others, the target is one
times base salary times the number of years participating in the Performance
Period.

·  
Interim Awards are payable only if EPS growth and OTSR meet or exceed targets
relative to the base period at the end of the first year and the first two years
combined, respectively. Interim awards are calculated using the same factors as
the three-year award. However, each interim award is only a partial progress
payment, paid at 30% of the full three-year calculation. Any interim payments
are subtracted from the full three-year award when calculating the final BGP
payment.

 
III. TIMING AND FORM

BGP awards are delivered on or about September 15th for the fiscal year just
completed. Each year’s award, if payable, will be delivered half in three-year
restricted stock units and half in cash. Participants may elect to receive
restricted stock units, deferred compensation, or stock options (in special
cases where RSUs are impractical due to local taxing) in place of the cash
portion. Any award or portion of an award paid in restricted stock units, stock
options, or other equity shall be awarded pursuant to this program and the terms
and conditions of the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan or any
successor stock plan approved in accordance with applicable listing standards,
as they may be revised from time to time.

The award form choices and relevant considerations are explained in payment
preference materials generally in the form of Appendix 1. Participants receive
written notice of their award detailing the calculation, generally in the form
of Appendix 2. The grant letters are generally in the form of Appendix 3.
 
IV. SEPARATION FROM THE COMPANY

·  
Retirement, death or disability:

o  
If prior to completion of a fiscal year, the Chief Executive may allow an
interim payment (typically if worked more than six months in the year) based on
that year’s earned amount. Any such payment will be paid on the timing described
above, and will be adjusted (if necessary) when the final payout is made at the
end of the Performance Period.

o  
If after completion of fiscal year, an interim payment based on that year’s
earned amount will be paid on the timing described above and adjusted (if
necessary) when the final payout is made at the end of the Performance Period.

·  
Special Separation with a Separation Package:

o  
If prior to completion of the fiscal year, no interim or final payment will be
paid.

o  
If after the completion of the fiscal year, the Chief Executive may exercise
discretion in allowing the payment of the completed year’s payment. No final
payment will be made at the end of the Performance Period.

·  
Voluntary resignation or termination for cause:

o  
Prior to the completion of Performance Period, forfeit any award.

o  
After completion of Performance Period but prior to payment date, final award
will be paid.

 
V. CHANGE IN CONTROL

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control in any fiscal
year, BGP awards will be calculated in accordance with Section II above, but
each factor will be calculated for the period from the beginning of the fiscal
year in which a Change in Control occurred up to and including the date of such
Change in Control (“CIC Period”) and each target will be prorated at the time of
Change in Control. “Change in Control” shall have the same meaning as defined in
the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan.
 
VI. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

While any interim or final payout received by an individual for any year under
this program shall be considered as earned remuneration in addition to salary
paid, it shall be understood that this plan does not give to any officer or
employee any contract rights, express or implied, against any Company for any
BGP award or future interim or final payout, or for compensation in addition to
the salary paid to him or her, or any right to question the action of the Board
of Directors or the Committee.

Each award made to the Chief Executive, Vice-Chairs, Group Presidents,
Presidents, Global Function Heads and Senior Vice Presidents and equivalents
made pursuant to this plan is subject to the Senior Executive Recoupment Policy
adopted by the Committee in December 2006.

This program document may be amended at any time by the Committee.
