	Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI)


CFROI defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by operating capital employed.  


Adjusted free cash flow ties to external free cash flow definition adjusted for:
·Acquisition/sale of “strategic” assets;
·Exclusive of pension cash contributions and tax payments or refunds;
·Impact on FCF of any change in financing; and,
·Impact of cash restructuring activities versus budget. 


Operating capital employed defined as total assets less total liabilities excluding cash, debt and tax balances.  Operating capital employed will be calculated on a five point basis. 
	 
	Payout as a % of Target (1)
	2012 Goal

	Threshold
	50%
	X%

	Target
	100%
	Y%

	Maximum
	150%
	Z%






(1) If performance is between the threshold and maximum levels set forth above, then the payout as a percentage of target shall be interpolated appropriately.  No payout below threshold.


The following definitions shall apply for purpose of applying the TSR modifier:


“Average Stock Price” means the average of the closing transaction prices of a share of common stock of a company, as reported on the principal national stock exchange on which such common stock is traded, for the 20 business days immediately preceding the date for which the Average Stock Price is being determined. 


“TSR Comparator Group” means the “Leisure Products” sub-industry group within the Global Industry Classification Standard Consumer Durables and Apparel Global Industry Group.  For purposes of determining TSR Performance with respect to the Award Performance Period, the companies included in the Leisure Products sub-industry group shall be determined at the beginning of the 3-year period, excluding those entities that are bankrupt, listed on the pink sheets or not listed at all.  Should a company within the TSR Comparator Group become bankrupt after the start of the Award Performance Period, they shall be assigned a TSR of -100%.  Companies emerging from bankruptcy shall not be tracked for purposes of the current performance period.  If two companies within the TSR Comparator Group merge, only the surviving entity shall be counted.  Should a company within the TSR Comparator Group merge with a company outside of the TSR Comparator Group, then that entity shall be excluded from the final calculation.


“TSR Performance” means a company's cumulative total shareholder return as measured by dividing (A) the sum of (i) the cumulative amount of dividends for the Award Performance Period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (ii) the increase or decrease in the Average Stock Price from the first day of the Award Performance Period to the last day of the Award Performance Period, by (B) the Average Stock Price determined as of the first day of the Award Performance Period.
