**EXHIBIT (99.1)****MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY – AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009**

 We have market risk with respect to foreign currency exchangerates and interest rates. The market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in these rates as discussed below.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk**

  We  have   manufacturing   plants  and  salestransactions  worldwide and therefore are subject to foreign currency risk. Thisrisk is  composed  of both  potential  losses  from the  translation  of foreigncurrency  financial   statements  and  the  remeasurement  of  foreign  currencytransactions.  To manage this risk, we periodically  enter into forward exchangecontracts  either to hedge the net assets of a foreign  investment or to providean economic  hedge against  future cash flows.  The total net assets of non-U.S.operations  and  long-term   intercompany  loans  denominated  in  nonfunctionalcurrencies  subject to potential loss amount to approximately  $689 million.The  potential  loss in fair value  resulting  from a  hypothetical  10% adversechange in quoted foreign currency  exchange rates amounts to $68.9  million.Furthermore,  related to foreign  currency  transactions,  we have  exposure  tononfunctional   currency  balances  totaling  $103.7  million.  This  amountincludes,  on an  absolute  basis,  exposures  to  foreign  currency  assets andliabilities.  On a net basis, we had approximately  $43.5 million of foreigncurrency  liabilities as of December 31, 2009. As currency  rates change,  thesenonfunctional currency balances are revalued,  and the corresponding  adjustmentis recorded in the income  statement.  A hypothetical  change of 10% in currencyrates could result in an  adjustment  to the income  statement of  approximately$4.4 million. Actual results may differ.

**Interest Rate Risk**

 We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations with respect to our variable rate debt, depending on general economic conditions.

 On December 31, 2009, we had the following variable rate debt:

| **Long-term debt**                                                     |   |    |
|                                                                   |   |    |

| period interest rate of 1.35% in 2009                                  |   | 308,000 |
|                                                                   |   |    |
| Various notes and mortgages relative to operations principally outside |   |    |
| the United States, at an end of period average rate of 5.40% in 2009,  |   |    |
| due in varying amounts through 2021                                    |   | 212     |
|                                                                        |
| Total                                                                  | $  | 323,508 |
|                                                                        |

 Assuming borrowings were outstanding for an entire year, an increase/decrease of one percentage point in weighted average interest rates would increase/decrease interest expense by $3.2 million. To manage interest rate risk, we will periodically enter into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix the interest rates on variable debt to a specific rate for a period of time. As of December 31, 2009, we had no such swap agreements in place.
