Performance Criteria

The incentive is earned based on achievement of the following:



|                            |  |                                                                                      |  |       
|--------------------------- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |  | ------
|Component                   |  | Performance Criteria                                                                 |  | Weight
|Corporate Operating Profit* |  | Below 100% of plan = no payout 100% of plan = 100%
payout 200% of plan = 200% payout |  | 50%   
|Results                     |  | Shared team goals (based on Business Unit/Group
achievement)                         |  | 50%   

---

|* | Operating profit is based on GAAP operating income, adjusted for certain one time gains and/or charges (severance, impairment, restructuring costs, acquired in-process R&D,
first year gains or losses of any acquired or divested entities, etc).
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corporate Operating Profit Component

A participant can earn up to 200%** of the corporate operating profit portion of the incentive. The target for operating profit at 100% of plan must be reached before the
operating profit component of the program will payout. After the operating profit target is achieved, the payout is linear (i.e. at 110% of operating profit target an employee receives 110% of the operating profit portion of the incentive; at 175%
of operating profit target employee receives 175% of the operating profit portion of the incentive).

|** | Total payout not to exceed 150% of Incentive Target.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------

Results
Component

A participant can earn up to 100% of the results portion of the incentive. If the operating profit is below 80% of plan there is no payout of
the results portion of the incentive. If operating profit is greater than or equal to 80% of plan the payout is based on achievement of the results portion of the incentive.

Goals

The achievement of results is based on review of performance against pre-established goals. Officers submit
their groups results goal detail to the CEO as soon as practicable in the plan year for review and approval.

The Business Unit/Group officer is
responsible for tracking and monitoring goal achievement. As soon as possible after the end of each incentive period, the Business Unit/Group officer will report their groups goal achievement to the CEO for review and approval. The CEO has
final authority to approve goal achievement and payouts.

In the event conditions outside of the control of the plan participants have changed during the
incentive period in such a way that one or more of the specific result goals are no longer appropriate to the intent of the plan, the CEO has the authority to adjust the results payout for those individuals impacted.

Incentive Periods

There are two incentive periods during the year
for which performance criteria are established and achievement is reviewed. The incentive periods are January 1  June 30 and July 1  December 31.



---

Payment & Timing

As soon as practicable following an incentive period, operating profit achievement for the incentive period is determined.

The officer is
responsible for submitting the Business Unit/Groups achievement of the pre-established team goals as soon as practicable following the end of each incentive period.

Once achievement of all performance criteria is reviewed and approved by the CEO, payment will be processed in the next regular pay cycle. The overall achievement of performance criteria, stated as a percentage of
pay, is applied to base earnings received during the 6 month incentive period.

The participant must be in a regular, active employment status on the date
payment is made in order to receive payment.

New Hires and Change in Status

Employees hired post-nomination process will be eligible as follows:



|                            |  |         
|--------------------------- |  | --------
|Position                    |  | Eligible
|Officer                     |  | Yes     
|Employees Grade 26-27       |  | Yes     
|Employees Grade 25 or lower |  | No      

If a plan participant changes job responsibility during an incentive period the participants eligibility
will be reviewed for continued participation in the plan.

If the participant remains eligible after the job change, the payout will be pro-rated, taking
into consideration the incentive target percentage and the applicable goals/results.

If no longer eligible due to a change in job responsibility, the
participant will receive a pro-rated portion of the payout, based on actual achievement, for the portion of the bonus period in which the participant was eligible.

Communications

Participants nominated into the plan will receive a full copy of these guidelines. Officers are responsible for
communicating the approved goals to their Business Unit/Group participants as soon as possible within the incentive period.

Miscellaneous Provisions

This plan does not constitute a guarantee of employment and is subject to amendment, including but not limited to plan terms and conditions and
eligibility, or termination, with Board of Director approval.
