Set forth below is a summary of the Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan, a
copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
•
Awards
.
The Plan permits the grant of cash incentive awards to eligible participants,
payable upon the attainment of performance goals attributable to enterprise-wide performance metrics and/or
business unit performance metrics. The performance period may be a calendar quarter, another three-month
period, or the calendar year.
•
Administration.
With respect to awards to participants who are officers of the Company for purposes of
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section 16 Officers"), the Plan will be administered by
the Human Resources Subcommittee of the Board (the "Committee"). With respect to
awards to all other participants, the Plan will be administered by the Section 16
Officer(s) to whom the Committee has delegated authority to administer the Plan (collectively with
the Committee, the "Administrator").
•
Eligible Participants.
All salaried employees, management employees and certain represented
employees (if required by their collective bargaining agreement) of the Company or its affiliates who are regular full-time or regular part-time employees on the
U.S. payroll and designated international employees are eligible to receive an award.
•
Enterprise-Wide Performance Metrics, Business Unit Performance Metrics and Related Performance Goals.
The Committee will select one or more
enterprise-wide performance metrics to establish the applicable performance goals. Enterprise-wide
performance metrics may include measures related to financial performance, operational performance,
customer satisfaction, or
other metrics determined to be critical enterprise-wide measures of success.
The Administrator will select one or more performance measures related to divisions or units
and will work with the leaders of each business unit to establish performance goals with respect
to each business unit performance metric for each performance period.
Enterprise-wide and business unit performance metrics may vary among participating employers,
business units or divisions,

•
Minimum Financial Performance Trigger.
The Committee will establish a minimum level of financial performance,

sole discretion, amend, modify or waive the minimum financial performance trigger.
•
Bonus Pool.
After the end of a calendar year, the Committee will establish, for such calendar year, a
bonus pool equal to the aggregate amount of all individual participant awards, determined by multiplying each
participant's Incentive Opportunity and wages. A participant's Incentive Opportunity is a percentage of
wages, determined by the Administrator, based on the actual level of achievement of the Plan's performance
goals. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, make any upward or downward adjustments
to the bonus pool.
•
Incentive Award Formula.
The actual amount of a participant's award for a performance period is the
product of such participant's (1) Incentive Opportunity, (2) wages, and (3) Individual Performance Multiplier.
A participant's Individual Performance Multiplier is a percentage based on the participant's performance as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion that
increases, decreases or eliminates the amount of an award earned by a participant for the applicable
performance period, even if the performance goals were attained. The aggregate amount of actual participant
awards for a calendar year cannot exceed the bonus pool (but may be less than the bonus pool).
•
Eligibility for Payment.
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion,
a participant must be an employee on the first business day
following the end of the applicable performance period to be eligible for payment
of an award.
•
Amendment and Termination.

Board at any time. Any awards under the Plan may be amended,
or terminated by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
