EXHIBIT 10.1




2006 — 2008

Executive Performance Plan

Plan Summary



Awards: The Performance Shares will be earned on the Vesting Date (as defined below)
only to the extent that the Internal Net Sales Growth goal threshold described in a letter to you
(the “Letter”) for the Performance Period is exceeded, with any unearned Performance Shares being
forfeited without notice on the Vesting Date. Internal Net Sales Growth is defined as the Compound
Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in Net Sales as calculated by the Company over the Performance Period
after adjustments for foreign currency exchange but excluding any individual acquisitions and
divestitures over US $30 million (or the equivalent in other currencies).



Performance Period: The Company’s 2006-2008 fiscal years.



Vesting: Performance Shares are earned and vest on the third anniversary of the grant date
(the “Vesting Date”). Employees who die, are Disabled or Retire (as defined in the 2003 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)) prior to the Vesting Date will continue to vest and will be eligible
for a full un-prorated award upon vesting. Recipients will forfeit, without further notice and
effective as of their date of termination any unvested Performance Shares if their employment
terminates prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement.



Change of Control: Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a Change of Control (as
defined in the Plan), all Performance Shares will be considered fully earned and will be payable at
target promptly as practicable following the Change of Control. The Compensation Committee may
adjust the Performance Shares earned to the extent the actual Internal Net Sales Growth to that
date exceeds the target specified in your Letter, but in no case will the Performance Shares earned
be less than the target.



Dividends: Dividends are not paid on Performance Shares. After the Performance Shares are
vested and shares of the Company’s Common Stock are deposited in a Wells Fargo account for the
participant (net of taxes) soon after the Vesting Date, dividends will be paid
prospectively on all shares of the Company’s common stock if and when declared by the Board
of Directors.



Voting: Performance Shares are not entitled to any voting rights. After the Performance
Shares are vested and shares of the Company’s common stock are deposited in a Wells Fargo account
for the participant (net of taxes) soon after the Vesting Date, the participant will be entitled to
voting rights on the shares of the Company’s common stock.



 Taxes: Taxes will be due when the Performance Shares vest based on the Fair
Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the shares on the Vesting Date. In the year of
vesting, taxes will be reported on the appropriate tax reporting forms (W2 in the U.S., T4
in Canada). Employees will be deemed to have elected to pay the taxes owed by allowing the
Company to withhold shares on the Vesting Date (and delivering to the participant the net
shares of the Company’s common stock) at the statutory minimum. Taxes include Federal
taxes, social insurance or FICA taxes, and state and local taxes, if applicable.



Administration: Soon after the Vesting Date, the number of net shares of the Company’s
common stock earned will be deposited into a Wells Fargo account. After the shares of common stock
are deposited following the Vesting Date, participants can contact Wells Fargo at 1-877-910-5385
for customer service.

Communication: Target awards will be communicated to participants during the salary
planning communication in late February and early March, when other pay decisions such as merit
increase, bonus and stock option award are communicated. A plan summary is included with this
communication. Participants will receive confirmation of the actual number of Performance Shares
earned during the first quarter of the 2009 calendar year.



Registration: Upon the depositing of the shares in the Wells Fargo account, shares of the
Company’s common stock will be registered in the employee’s name. Employees can change the
registration of the shares by calling Wells Fargo.



Disposition at Vesting: After the shares of the Company’s common stock are deposited,
participants can leave the shares with Wells Fargo, ask Wells Fargo to sell the shares, have a
certificate issued to the participant or have the shares electronically transferred to another
broker.
A.
Benefits: Income from the 2006-2008 Executive Performance Plan will not be included in
earnings for the purposes of determining benefits, including pension, S&I, disability, life
insurance and other survivor benefits.



Insiders: After the Performance Shares vest and the net shares of common stock are
deposited, insiders cannot dispose of the shares of common stock without prior approval of the
Legal Department.



Other Plan Provisions: The 2006-2008 Executive Performance Plan was adopted under the Plan
and is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, including those related to the ability of the
Board of Directors to amend the Plan, the Executive Performance Plan or any awards thereunder.
Nothing in this summary or the 2006-2008 Executive Performance Plan or the Plan shall confer upon
the participant any right of continued employment.





This plan summary is subject to the actual plan document and any additional terms and
conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
