or an Affiliate, within two (2) years of the date of such Participant’s or Vested Former
Participant’s termination of employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate;

          (b) to the detriment of the Corporation or any Affiliate, directly or indirectly competed with
the Corporation or any Affiliate as an owner, employee, partner, director or contractor of a

considerable knowledge as a result of his or her employment by the Corporation or any Affiliate,
either for his or her own benefit or with any person other than the Corporation or any Affiliate,
without the prior written consent of the Committee, within two (2) years of the date of such
Participant’s or Vested Former Participant’s termination of employment with the Corporation or an
Affiliate; or

          (c) been discharged from employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate for “Cause.”
“Cause” shall include the occurrence of any of the following events or such other dishonest or
disloyal act or omission as the Committee reasonably determines to be “Cause”:

               (i) the Participant or Vested Former Participant has misappropriated any funds or property of
the Corporation or any Affiliate or committed any other act of willful malfeasance or willful
misconduct in connection with his or her employment;

               (ii) the Participant or Vested Former Participant has, without the prior knowledge or written
consent of the Committee, obtained personal profit as a result of any transaction by a third party
with the Corporation or any Affiliate;

               (iii) the Participant or Vested Former Participant has sold or otherwise imparted to any
person, firm, or corporation the names of the customers of the Corporation or any Affiliate or any
confidential records, data, formulae, specifications and other trade secrets or other information
of value to the Corporation or any Affiliate derived by his or her association with the Corporation
or any Affiliate;

               (iv) the Participant or Vested Former Participant fails, on a continuing basis, to perform
such duties as are requested by any employee to whom the Participant or Vested Former Participant
reports or the Board; or

               (v) the Participant or Vested Former Participant commits any felony or any misdemeanor
involving moral turpitude.

7

 

In any case described in this Section 3.4, the Participant, Vested Former Participant or Surviving
Spouse shall be given prior written notice that no benefits or no further benefits, as the case may
be, will be paid to such Participant, Vested Former Participant or Surviving Spouse. Such written
notice shall specify the particular act(s), or failures to act, on the basis of which the decision
to terminate benefits has been made.

     3.5 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant or
Vested Former Participant who receives any portion of his or her Retirement Benefit in a lump sum
pursuant to an Election shall receive such lump sum portion of his or her Retirement Benefit
subject to the condition that if such Participant or Vested Former Participant engages in any of
the acts described in clause (i) or (ii) or (iii) of Section 3.4(c), then such Participant or
Vested Former Participant shall, within sixty (60) days after written notice by the Corporation,
repay to the Corporation the amount described in Section 3.5(b).

          (b) The amount described under this Section 3.5(b) shall equal the difference, as determined
by the Committee, between (i) the lump sum amount paid to the Participant or Vested Former
Participant and (ii) present value of the total annuity payments that would have been paid to the
Participant or Vested Former Participant as of the date of the Corporation’s written notice
described in Section 3.5(a) with respect to such lump sum amount, if that portion of his or her
Retirement Benefit had instead been paid in the form of an annuity. For this purpose, the value of
the hypothetical annuity described in (ii) shall be calculated in the same manner as the lump sum
described in (i) was calculated at the time it was paid.

Section 4.

Amount and Payment of Retirement Benefits

     4.1 The Retirement Benefit provided by the Plan is designed to provide each Participant and
Vested Former Participant with an annual pension from the Plan and certain other sources equal to
his or her Retirement Benefit as hereinafter specified. Thus, the Retirement Benefits described
hereunder as payable to Participants and Vested Former Participants will be offset by retirement
benefits payable from sources outside the Plan as specified herein.

     4.2 (a) The Retirement Benefit of a Participant or Vested Former Participant shall be an
annual benefit equal to four percent (4%) of his or her Average Final Compensation for each year of
Credited Service, up to a maximum of ten (10) years of Credited Service, as (i) reduced under
Section 4.3, if applicable, and (ii) offset by his or her Other Retirement Income and his or her
Retirement Account Benefit. For a partial year of Credited Service, a pro rata portion calculated
by crediting a full month for each completed and partial month of Credited Service, of four percent
(4%) of the Participant’s or Vested Former Participant’s Average Final Compensation is included in
the annual benefit.

          (b) Any portion of the Retirement Benefit provided under this Section 4.2 payable in the form
of an annuity pursuant to Section 4.4 shall be payable in monthly installments and will commence on
the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or next following the day of the Participant’s
or Vested Former Participant’s Retirement, and any portion of such Retirement Benefit payable in a
lump sum pursuant to Section 4.4 shall be paid on the

8

 

date that is sixty (60) days after the date when annuity payments under this Section 4.2
commence, or would commence if any portion of the Retirement Benefit were payable in the form of an
annuity, or as soon as practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any
Participant or Vested Former Participant who is a Specified Key Employee, no amount will be paid to
him or her under the Plan upon Retirement prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date
of separation from service with the Corporation or an Affiliate, except as permitted under Code
Section 409A.

          (c) If the Retirement Benefit under this Plan is payable to a Participant or Vested Former
Participant in a different form and/or at a different time than his or her Other Retirement Income
or his or her Retirement Account Benefit, the offset provided in this Plan shall be calculated by
converting the amount of such Participant’s or Vested Former Participant’s Other Retirement Income
and Retirement Account Benefit to a straight life annuity at the Participant’s or Vested Former
Participant’s age at which the Retirement Benefit is payable, using actuarial assumptions that are
used for purposes of determining the actuarial equivalent of an amount under the Retirement
Account.

     4.3 If a Participant or Vested Former Participant retires prior to age sixty (60), his or her
Retirement Benefit, prior to the application of the offsets as described in Section 4.2(a)(ii),
shall be reduced as set forth in this Section 4.3. If such Participant or Vested Former
Participant terminates employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate prior to age fifty-five
(55), his or her Retirement Benefit shall be reduced by six percent (6%) of his or her Average
Final Compensation for each year or fraction thereof that his or her Retirement commenced prior to
reaching age sixty (60). If such Participant retires at or after age fifty-five (55), his or her
Retirement Benefit shall be reduced by three percent (3%) of his or her Average Final Compensation
for each year or fraction thereof that his or her Retirement commenced prior to reaching age sixty
(60).

     4.4 (a) Except as provided under Section 4.4(b) or Section 4.4(c), a Retirement Benefit under
this Plan shall be payable to a Participant or Vested Former Participant in the form of a straight
life annuity if the Participant or Vested Former Participant is unmarried upon commencement of
payment and in the form of a joint and 50% survivor annuity if the Participant or Vested Former
Participant is legally married upon commencement of payment, without regard to any optional form of
benefits elected under the Retirement Account.

          (b) If a Participant or a Vested Former Participant makes an Election pursuant to Section 4.5,
a Retirement Benefit under this Plan shall be payable to such Participant or such Vested Former
Participant in the form or combination of forms of payment elected pursuant to such Election, and
without regard to any optional form of benefit elected under the Retirement Account. Any lump sum
distribution of a Participant’s or Vested Former Participant’s Retirement Benefit under the Plan
shall fully satisfy all present and future Plan liability with respect to such Participant or
Vested Former Participant and any Surviving Spouse for such portion or all of such Retirement
Benefit so distributed.

     4.5 (a) A Participant may elect, on a form supplied by the Committee, to receive all, none,
or a specified portion, as provided in Section 4.5(c), of his or her Retirement Benefit under the
Plan in a lump sum and to receive any balance of such Retirement Benefit in

9

 

the form of an annuity; provided, that any such Election shall be effective for
purposes of this Plan only if the conditions of Section 4.5(b) are satisfied. A Participant may
elect a payment form different than the payment form previously elected by him under this Section
4.5(a) by filing a revised election form; provided, that any such new Election shall be
effective only if the conditions of Section 4.5(b) are satisfied with respect to such new Election.
Any prior Election made by a Participant that has satisfied the conditions of Section 4.5(b)
remains effective for purposes of the Plan until such Participant has made a new Election
satisfying the conditions of Section 4.5(b). The amount of any portion of a Participant’s or a
Vested Former Participant’s Retirement Benefit payable as a lump sum under this Section 4.5 will
equal the present value of such portion of the Retirement Benefit, and such present value shall be
determined (i) based on a discount rate equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the
fifteen (15) year non-callable U.S. Treasury bond yields as of the close of business on the last
business day of each of the three months immediately preceding the date the annuity value is
determined and (ii) using the mortality table used for purposes of valuing amounts under the
Retirement Account.

          (b) A Participant’s Election under Section 4.5(a) may be made prior to the later of the date
he or she becomes eligible to participate in the Plan or January 1, 2007, or such later date as
permitted by guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service without being treated as a change in
the time or form of payment under Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C). A Participant’s Election under
Section 4.5(a) made later than permitted under the preceding sentence becomes effective only if the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Participant does not reach Retirement prior to a date
that is at least twelve (12) full calendar months after the Election Date of such Election, (ii)
except as provided in Section 4.5(d), the Election delays payment of the Retirement Benefit for a
period of at least five (5) years from the date the payment would otherwise have been made, and
(iii) such Participant submits the form provided by the Corporation to the Compensation and
Benefits Department.

          (c) A Participant making an election under Section 4.5(a) may specify the portion of his or
her Retirement Benefit under the Plan to be received in a lump sum as follows: zero percent (0%),
twenty-five percent (25%), fifty percent (50%), seventy-five percent (75%) or one hundred percent
(100%). The remainder of the Retirement Benefit, if any, shall be paid in the form of a straight
life annuity if the Participant is unmarried upon commencement of payment and in the form of a
joint and 50% survivor annuity if the Participant is legally married upon commencement of payment,
without regard to any optional form of benefits elected under the Retirement Account.

          (d) In the event a Participant who has made an Election pursuant to Section 4.5(a) dies or
becomes disabled, within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(C), while employed by the
Corporation or an Affiliate, Section 4.5(b)(ii) shall not apply and the Election will not be
treated as delaying payment of any benefits under this Plan for a period of five (5) years from the
date the payment would otherwise have been made.

10

 

Section 5.

Disability Benefits

     5.1 In the event that a Participant terminates employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate
by reason of total and permanent disability, as defined in the Long-Term Disability Plan, a
Disability Benefit shall be payable to such Participant under the Plan, except as limited by
Section 5.3. The Disability Benefit is designed to supplement each eligible Participant’s
disability benefits payable from other sources, and is therefore offset as described in Section
5.2.

     5.2 The Disability Benefit shall be payable in monthly installments during the same period
that the Long-Term Disability Plan Benefit is payable. The amount of each Disability Benefit
installment shall be equal to one-twelfth of the following: sixty percent (60%) of the
Participant’s Earnings, less the Participant’s annualized Long-Term Disability Plan Benefit, less
the Participant’s annualized Other Disability Income, if any. A Participant’s Disability Benefit
shall also be offset by the amount, if any, the Participant receives, concurrent with the
Disability Benefit, from his or her Retirement Account Benefit and/or the Pension Benefit
Equalization Plan of Dun & Bradstreet Corporation.

     5.3 Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall any Participant receive a Disability Benefit
if he or she was not enrolled for the maximum disability insurance coverage available under the
Long-Term Disability Plan at the time of disability, or if he or she has not maintained such
coverage through the time of termination of employment, unless the Participant was not then
eligible for coverage under the Long-Term Disability Plan.

Section 6.

Surviving Spouse’s Benefits

     6.1 Upon the death of a Participant or Vested Former Participant for whom payment of the
Retirement Benefit has commenced in the form of a joint and 50% survivor annuity, the only death
benefit provided by the Plan shall be the survivor portion of such annuity. No death benefit shall
be provided by the Plan upon the death of a Participant or Vested Former Participant for whom
payment of the Retirement Benefit commenced in any other form prior to death.

     6.2 Upon the death of a Participant or Vested Former Participant who has completed at least
five (5) years of Vesting Service with the Corporation or an Affiliate and has attained age
fifty-five (55), his or her Surviving Spouse will be entitled to a Surviving Spouse’s Benefit under
this Plan equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Retirement Benefit that would have been provided from
the Plan had the Participant or Vested Former Participant commenced payment of the Retirement
Benefit on the date of his or her death. Except as provided in Section 6.4, payment of the
Surviving Spouse Benefit will be made in a straight life annuity based on the life of the Surviving
Spouse and will commence as of the first day of the month following the death of the Participant or
Vested Former Participant.

11

 

     6.3 Upon the death of a Participant or Vested Former Participant who has completed at least
five (5) years of Vesting Service with the Corporation or an Affiliate and has not attained age
fifty-five (55), his or her Surviving Spouse will be entitled to a Surviving Spouse’s Benefit under
this Plan equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Retirement Benefit that would have been provided from
the Plan had the Participant or Vested Former Participant terminated employment with the
Corporation or an Affiliate on the date of his or her death and elected to have the payment of such
benefit commence at age fifty-five (55). Except as provided in Section 6.4, payment of the
Surviving Spouse Benefit will be made in a straight life annuity based on the life of the Surviving
Spouse and will commence as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the
month in which the Participant or Vested Former Participant would have attained age fifty-five
(55).

     6.4 (a) If a Participant or a Vested Former Participant, while he or she was a Participant,
has made an Election under Section 4.5 and such Election is effective on the date of such
Participant’s or Vested Former Participant’s death, the Surviving Spouse’s Benefit payable to a
Surviving Spouse of such Participant or Vested Former Participant will be payable in the form or
combination of forms of payment so elected by such Participant or Vested Former Participant
pursuant to such Election. The amount of any lump sum payment under this Section 6.4 shall be the
present value of the applicable portion of the Surviving Spouse’s Benefit payable under the Plan,
as defined in this Section 6, and such present value shall be determined using the actuarial
assumptions set forth in Section 4.5(a). Any lump sum distribution of a Surviving Spouse’s Benefit
under the Plan shall fully satisfy all present and future Plan liability with respect to such
Surviving Spouse for such portion or all of such Surviving Spouse’s Benefit so distributed.

          (b) Any portion of a Surviving Spouse’s Benefit provided under Section 6.2 or 6.3, which is
payable as an annuity shall be paid in the manner and at such time as set forth in Section 6.2 or
6.3, as applicable, and any such benefit which is payable as a lump sum shall be paid sixty (60)
days after the date when annuity payments commence, or would commence if any portion of such
Surviving Spouse’s Benefit were payable as an annuity as set forth in Section 6.2 or 6.3, as
applicable.

     6.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6, the amount of a Surviving Spouse’s
Benefit shall be reduced by one (1) percentage point for each year (including a half year or more
as a full year) in excess of ten (10) that the age of the Participant or Vested Former Participant
exceeds the age of the Surviving Spouse.

Section 7.

Committee

     7.1 The Board and the Committee severally (and not jointly) shall be responsible for the
administration of the Plan. Any member of the Committee may resign at will by notice to the Board
or may be removed at any time (with or without cause) by the Board.

     7.2 The members of the Committee may, from time to time, allocate responsibilities among
themselves, and may delegate to any management committee, employee,

12

 

director or agent its responsibility to perform any act hereunder, including, without
limitation, those matters involving the exercise of discretion, provided that such delegation shall
be subject to revocation at any time at its discretion.

     7.3 The Committee (and its delegees) shall have the exclusive authority to interpret the
provisions of the Plan and construe all of its terms (including, without limitation, all disputed
and uncertain terms), to adopt, amend, and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of
the Plan, and generally to conduct and administer the Plan and to make all determinations in
connection with the Plan as may be necessary or advisable. All such actions of the Committee shall
be conclusive and binding upon all Participants, Former Participants, Vested Former Participants
and Surviving Spouses. All deference permitted by law shall be given to such interpretations,
determinations and actions.

     7.4 Any action to be taken by the Committee shall be taken by a majority of its members,
either at a meeting or by written instrument approved by such majority in the absence of a meeting.
A written resolution or memorandum signed by one (1) Committee member and the secretary of the
Committee shall be sufficient evidence to any person of any action taken pursuant to the Plan.

     7.5 Any person, corporation or other entity may serve in more than one (1) fiduciary capacity
under the Plan.

Section 8.

Miscellaneous

     8.1 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate, suspend or amend this Plan at any
time or from time to time, in whole or in part, to the fullest extent permitted under Code Section
409A. The Committee may delegate its authority to amend the Plan at any time, in its sole
discretion. The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall have the authority to amend
Section 2.1 of the Plan to add restrictions on eligibility for participation in the Plan and to
remove restrictions previously added to Section 2.1 pursuant to the authority granted in this
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination, suspension or amendment of the Plan may
adversely affect a Participant’s or Vested Former Participant’s vested benefit under the Plan, or a
retired Participant’s or Vested Former Participant’s right or the right of a Surviving Spouse to
receive or to continue to receive a benefit in accordance with the Plan as in effect on the date
immediately preceding the date of such termination, suspension or amendment. The preceding
sentence shall not restrict in any way the Committee’s discretion to amend or delete Section 8.3 of
the Plan at any time prior to a Change in Control.

     8.2 Nothing contained herein will confer upon any Participant, Former Participant or Vested
Former Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Corporation or any Affiliate, nor
will it interfere with the right of the Corporation or any Affiliate to discharge or otherwise deal
with Participants, Former Participants or Vested Former Participants with respect to matters of
employment without regard to the existence of the Plan.

13

 

     8.3 (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant has less than
five (5) years of Vesting Service at the time of a Change in Control, and as a result of the
Change in Control, and before he or she completes five (5) years of Vesting Service, (i) the Plan
is terminated, (ii) the Participant is removed from further participation in the Plan, or (iii) the
Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate is terminated as a result of action
initiated directly or indirectly by the Corporation or an Affiliate, such Participant shall be
entitled to a Retirement Benefit equal to twenty percent (20%) of his or her Average Final
Compensation, or, if that amount cannot be determined, the amount that would be the Participant’s
Average Final Compensation if he or she terminated employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate
on the date he or she becomes eligible for a Retirement Benefit under this Section 8.3(a), and the
Corporation will remain obligated to pay all benefits under the Plan.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control,

               (i) no reduction under Section 4.3 shall be made in a Participant’s or Vested Former
Participant’s Retirement Benefit, notwithstanding his or her termination of employment or
Retirement prior to age sixty (60) following such Change in Control;

               (ii) the provisions of Section 3.4(a) and (b) shall not apply to any Participant, Vested
Former Participant or Surviving Spouse;

               (iii) each Participant with less than five (5) years of Vesting Service who is entitled to a
Retirement Benefit under Section 8.3(a) shall receive a lump sum distribution of the present value
of such Retirement Benefit within thirty (30) days from the earlier of the first date that a
distribution to the Participant is permissible under Code Section 409A as a result of termination
of the Plan, or the date his or her employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate is terminated;
and

               (iv) each Participant who is not included in (iii) above and who is not already receiving a
Retirement Benefit under the Plan shall receive

          (A) within thirty (30) days of the date of such Change in Control, a
lump sum distribution of the present value of his or her accrued Retirement
Benefit under the Plan as of the applicable date, and

          (B) within thirty (30) days from the earlier of the first date that a
distribution to the Participant is permissible under Code Section 409A as a
result of termination of the Plan, or the date his or her employment with
the Corporation or an Affiliate is terminated, a lump sum distribution of
the present value of his or her additional Retirement Benefit accrued after
the applicable event in (A) computed as of the applicable date herein set
forth in (B).

In determining the amount of the lump sum distributions to be paid under this Section 8.3, the
actuarial assumptions described in Section 4.5(a) shall be used.

14

 

     8.4 Participants and Vested Former Participants shall have the status of general unsecured
creditors of the Corporation and this Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Corporation to make
benefit payments at the time or times required hereunder. It is the intention of the Corporation
that this Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and any trust created by the Corporation in meeting its
obligations under the Plan shall meet the requirements necessary to retain such unfunded status.

     8.5 To the maximum extent permitted by law, no benefit under the Plan shall be assignable or
subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, claims of creditors, pledge, attachment or
encumbrances of any kind.

     8.6 The Corporation may withhold from any benefit under the Plan an amount sufficient to
satisfy its tax withholding obligations under any applicable federal, state, local or foreign law
or regulation. In addition, the Corporation may withhold from any wages or other compensation
payable to a Participant or Vested Former Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax
withholding obligations, including but not limited to its obligations under the Federal Insurance
Contributions Act, with respect to benefits accrued under the Plan prior to the date such benefits
are paid.

     8.7 The Plan is established under and will be construed according to the laws of the State of
New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, to the extent such laws are not
preempted by ERISA. By claiming a right to benefits under the Plan, any Participant, Vested Former
Participant, Surviving Spouse or beneficiary of such person agrees to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court in New Jersey to resolve disputes arising
hereunder.

     8.8 For tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA, the Plan is intended to qualify as
an unfunded “top-hat” plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation
for a select group of management or highly-compensated employees and shall be interpreted
accordingly.

     8.9 Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Plan is intended to comply with Code
Section 409A and shall at all times be interpreted and administered in accordance with such intent.
To the extent that any provision of the Plan violates Code Section 409A, such provision shall be
automatically reformed, if possible, to comply with Code Section 409A or stricken from the Plan.

The Committee may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof
consisting solely of at least two individuals who are each “non-employee directors” within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Act (or any successor rule thereto) and “outside directors” within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto). The Committee shall have
the authority to select the Covered Employees to be granted Awards under the Plan, to determine the
size and terms of an Award (subject to the limitations imposed on Awards in Section 5 below), to
modify the terms of any Award that has been granted (except for any modification that would
increase the amount of the Award), to determine the time when Awards will be made and the
Performance Period to which they relate, to establish performance objectives in respect of such
Performance Periods and to certify that such performance objectives were attained; provided,
however, that any such action shall be consistent with the applicable provisions of Section 162(m)

rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems
necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan; provided, however, that any action
permitted to be taken by the Committee may be taken by the Board, in its discretion. The Committee

the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the
interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and
absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned.
Determinations made by the Committee under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively
among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. The Committee shall
have the right to deduct from any payment made under the Plan any federal, state, local or foreign
income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. To the extent
consistent with the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may delegate
to one or more employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the authority to take actions on
its behalf pursuant to the Plan.

4. Eligibility and Participation

     The Committee shall designate those persons who shall be Participants for each Performance
Period. Participants shall be selected from among the Covered Employees of the Company and any of
its Subsidiaries who are in a position to have a material impact on the results of the operations
of the Company or of one or more of its Subsidiaries.

5. Awards

     (a)Performance Goals. A Participant’s Award shall be determined based on the attainment of
written performance goals approved by the Committee for a Performance Period established by the
Committee (i) while the outcome for the Performance Period is substantially uncertain and (ii) no
more than 90 days after the commencement of

2

 

the Performance Period to which the performance goal relates or, if less than 90 days, the
number of days which is equal to 25 percent of the relevant Performance Period. The performance
goals, which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more or the following criteria: (i)
earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization); (ii) net income; (iii) operating income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) book value per
Share; (vi) return on stockholders’ equity; (vii) expense management; (viii) return on investment
before or after the cost of capital; (ix) improvements in capital structure; (x) profitability of
an identifiable business unit or product; (xi) maintenance or improvement of profit margins; (xii)
stock price; (xiii) market share; (xiv) revenues or sales; (xv) costs; (xvi) cash flow; (xvii)
working capital; (xviii) changes in net assets (whether or not multiplied by a constant percentage
intended to represent the cost of capital); and (xix) return on assets. The foregoing criteria may
relate to the Company, one or more of its Subsidiaries or one or more of its divisions, units,
partnerships, joint ventures or minority investments, product lines or products or any combination
of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one or more peer
group companies of indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Committee shall determine. In
addition, to the degree consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section
thereto), the performance goals may be calculated without regard to extraordinary items or
accounting changes. The maximum amount of an Award to any Participant with respect to a fiscal year
of the Company shall be $3,000,000.

     (b) Payment. The Committee shall determine whether, with respect to a Performance Period, the
applicable performance goals have been met with respect to a given Participant and, if they have,
to so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Award. No Awards will be paid for such
Performance Period until such certification is made by the Committee. The amount of the Award
actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable
performance goal formula (including zero), at the discretion of the Committee. The amount of the
Award determined by the Committee for a Performance Period shall be paid to the Participant at such
time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of such Performance
Period.

     (c) Compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code. The provisions of this Section 5 shall be
administered and interpreted in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code to ensure the
deductibility by the Company or its Subsidiaries of the payment of Awards; provided, however, that
the Committee may, in its sole discretion, administer the Plan in violation of Section 162(m) of
the Code.

     (d) Termination of Employment. If a Participant dies, retires, is assigned to a different
position, is granted a leave of absence, or if the Participant’s employment is otherwise terminated
(except with cause by the Company, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) during a
Performance Period (other than a Performance Period in which a Change in Control occurs), a
pro-rata share of the Participant’s award based on the period of actual participation shall be paid
to the Participant after the end of the Performance Period if it would have become earned and
payable had the Participant’s employment status not changed; provided, however, that the amount of
the Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the
applicable performance goal formula (including zero), at the discretion of the Committee.

6. Amendments or Termination

     The Board or the Committee may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would diminish any of the rights under any Award
theretofore granted to a Participant under the Plan without such Participant’s consent; provided,
however, that the Board or the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as it deems necessary to
permit the granting of Awards meeting the requirements of the Code or other applicable laws.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Board or the Committee may not amend, alter or
discontinue the provisions relating to Section 10(b) of the Plan after the occurrence of a Change
in Control.

7. No Right to Employment

     Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant
or other person any right to continue to be employed by or perform services for the Company or any
Subsidiary, and the right to terminate the employment of or performance of services by any
Participant at any time and for any reason is specifically reserved to the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

8. Nontransferabililty of Awards

     An award shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant otherwise than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution.

3

 

9. Reduction of Awards

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee, in its sole discretion (but
subject to applicable law), may reduce any amounts payable to any Participant hereunder in order to
satisfy any liabilities owed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by the Participant.

10. Adjustments Upon Certain Events

     (a)
Generally. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any Share
dividend or split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination
or exchange of Shares or other corporate exchange, or any distribution to stockholders of Shares
other than regular cash dividends or any similar transaction to the foregoing, the Committee in its
sole discretion and without liability to any person may make such substitution or adjustment, if
any, as it deems to be equitable, as to any affected terms of outstanding Awards.

     (b)
Change in Control. In the event that (i) a Participant’s employment is actually or
constructively terminated during a given Performance Period (the “Affected Performance Period”) and
(ii) a Change in Control shall have occurred within the 365 days immediately preceding the date of
such termination, then such Participant shall receive, promptly after the date of such termination,
an Award for the Affected Performance Period as if the performance goals for such Performance
Period had been achieved at 100%.

11. Miscellaneous Provisions

     The Company is the sponsor and legal obligor under the Plan and shall make all payments
hereunder, other than any payments to be made by any of the Subsidiaries (in which case payment
shall be made by such Subsidiary, as appropriate). The Company shall not be required to establish
any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to ensure the payment of
any amounts under the Plan, and the Participants’ rights to the payment hereunder shall be no
greater than the rights of the Company’s (or Subsidiary’s) unsecured creditors. All expenses
involved in administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

12. Choice of Law

     The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware.

13. Effectiveness of the Plan

     The re-approved Plan shall be effective as of May 2, 2006.
