EXHIBIT 10.1 (continued)

For each Performance Period, if actual performance under each measure is greater than Threshold Performance, but is less than Target Performance, awards shall be calculated pursuant to the table above, determined on a straight line interpolation between Threshold Performance and Target Performance levels. For the Thirty-Nine Month Performance Period only, if actual performance under each measure is greater than Target Performance, but is less than Maximum Performance, awards shall be calculated pursuant to the table above, determined on a straight line interpolation between Target Performance and Maximum Performance levels.

Payment of amounts earned under this Plan with respect to any Performance Period shall take place on or before March 15 of the calendar year next following the close of such Performance Period.

3.           Payment Contingent on Continued Service with the Company. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided by paragraph 4, in order to be eligible to receive an award under this Plan, you must be employed full time by the Company from the date you begin participating in the Plan, until the close of the Performance Period in respect of which the payment is to be made. If your full-time employment by the Company terminates for any reason before the close of the Performance Period in respect of which a payment is to be made pursuant to any of the preceding paragraph, then, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided by paragraph 4 below, upon such termination of employment you shall relinquish any right to be paid any money that would otherwise thereafter be paid to you pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Performance Period.

4.           Exception for Certain Terms of Service during Performance Period. If, before the close of the Thirty-Nine Month Performance Period, you cease to be continuously employed full time by the Company by reason of early or normal retirement, as defined in the applicable Company pension plan in which you participate, or for any other reason (including, but not limited to, by reason of your being transferred to a position not eligible for inclusion in this Plan) except for (a) cause, or (b) your voluntary termination of employment, then, the Company will pay you (or your Beneficiary, in the case of your death) the amount of money which would have been paid to you pursuant to paragraph 2 if your full-time employment and participation in the Plan had continued until the close of the Thirty-Nine Month Performance Period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of full months of continuous full-time employment that you actually served during the Thirty-Nine Month Performance Period, and the denominator of which shall be Thirty-Nine months. Any money payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid at the same time, on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions that would have applied if your full-time employment and participation in the Plan had continued until the close of the Thirty-Nine Month Performance Period.

5.           Withholding. All amounts of money that are payable pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts as the Company may, in its sole discretion, determine are required to be withheld or collected under the laws or regulations of any governmental authority, whether federal, state, or local and whether domestic or foreign.

6.           Administration, Interpretation, and Construction. The terms and conditions of the Plan shall be administered, interpreted, and construed by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Human Resources Committee”) or its designated administrator of the Plan, whose decisions shall be final, binding, and conclusive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any determination as to whether or not your employment has been terminated for cause, or has been terminated voluntarily by you, or whether you have

  

Page 4 of 6

  

EXHIBIT 10.1 (continued)

transferred to a position not eligible for participation, shall be made in the good faith but otherwise absolute discretion of the Human Resources Committee or its designated administrator of the Plan.

7.           No Employment Rights. No provision of the Plan shall confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or shall in any way affect the right and power of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to terminate your employment at any time for any reason or no reason, or shall impose upon the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, any liability not expressly provided for in the Plan if your employment is so terminated.

8.           Rights Not Transferable. No rights under this Plan, contingent or otherwise, shall be assignable or transferable other than to a “Beneficiary” (as hereafter defined) upon your death, either voluntarily, or, to the full extent permitted by law, involuntarily, by way of encumbrance, pledge, attachment, levy, or charge of any nature. Any attempt to transfer, assign, encumber, pledge, attach, levy upon, or charge any rights under the Plan, other than to a Beneficiary in the event of your death, shall be null, void, and of no force or effect and, in the event of any such attempt, the Human Resources Committee may terminate your participation in the Plan. For this purpose, a “Beneficiary” shall mean a person or entity (including a trust or estate), designated in writing by you on the attached form or similar document to whom amounts that would have otherwise been made to you shall pass in the event of your death. If no such person or entity has been so designated, or if no person or entity so designated is alive or in existence at the time any amount becomes payable pursuant to this Plan, your “Beneficiary” shall mean the legal representative of your estate.

9.           Successors and Mergers, Consolidation or Change in Control. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall inure to the benefit of and bind you and the Company, its successors, assignees and personal representatives. If a change in control should occur, then the rights and obligations created hereunder shall be the rights and obligations of the acquirer or successor corporation.

10.           Employment or Failure Eligibility to Participate Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as a contract of employment or as giving you any right to be retained in the employ of the Company. Designation as a Participant may be revoked at any time.

Finally, this Plan provides you the opportunity to earn special incentive compensation on the terms and conditions set forth above. I am very pleased that you have been chosen to participate in this Special Incentive Plan and am confident that you will have a significant impact on our Company’s success.
