      Form
of Awards

      


      All
awards granted pursuant to this 2010 Plan shall be paid in cash (local
currency). 


      


      The
Compensation Committee retains the discretion to determine payment relative to
corporate objectives for all participants and the personal/business unit
objectives established for participants at the Vice President level and above,
after consideration of any recommendation by the Chief Executive
Officer.  The Compensation Committee recommends to the full Board of
Directors, for their approval, any changes to the compensation of the President
and Chief Executive Officer.

      


      Payment
of the personal/business unit component for participating exempt employees below
the Vice President level is based on management’s assessment of the level of
achievement relative to their specific, measurable, pre-defined
objectives.

      


      Payment
of a personal/business unit component for participating non-exempt employees is
based on management’s discretionary evaluation of individual
performance.

       

      Timing
of Payment

      


      If the
Compensation Committee determines to pay an award, the Corporation will make any
such payment not later than March 15, 2011.

      


      Recoupment
of Payment

      


      If the
Compensation Committee determines that any Plan participant has engaged in fraud
or intentional misconduct that has caused a restatement of the Corporation’s
financial statements, the Compensation Committee will review the STIP payment
received by that participant on the basis of the Corporation’s performance
during the periods affected by the restatement.  If the STIP payment
would have been lower if it had been based on the restated results, the
Compensation Committee may seek recoupment of the STIP payment.

      


      Termination
of Employment

      


      If a
participant is no longer an employee, for whatever reason, on the date awards
from the 2010 Plan are paid, the participant shall forfeit all rights to any
payments under the 2010 Plan.  Awards from the Plan are not earned
until they are paid.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      If an
employee’s termination is due to either death or disability, the Committee may,
at its discretion, determine whether any payment will be made to the participant
under the 2010 Plan.  If the Compensation Committee determines to pay
an award, the Corporation will make any such payment not later than March
15th,
2011.

      


      In no
event will payments under this Plan be either postponed or accelerated in the
event of termination of employment.

      


      Plan
Termination

      


      The
Compensation Committee may amend, modify, terminate or suspend operation of the
2010 Plan at any time.  Notice of any such changes will be
communicated to Plan participants.  In no event, however, will
payments under this Plan be either postponed or accelerated in the event of a
Plan termination.

      


      Administration

      


      The Human
Resources department shall administer the 2010 Plan.

      


      Disputes

      


      All
disputes associated with interpretation of the 2010 Plan or payments hereunder
shall be submitted to the Vice President of Human Resources for
resolution.

      


      NOTHING IN THIS 2010 PLAN
SHALL ACT AS A GUARANTEE OR CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT OR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN
THE 2011 PLAN, NOR SHALL IT ACT AS A GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT UNDER THE
PLAN.
