Summary of Compensation Arrangements for Executive Officers

This table shows the base salary, annual bonus and all other compensation paid to the named executives.  The table also shows the grant date fair value of the stock and option awards made to the named executives and the increase in the present value of the retirement benefit of each named executive.

(1)   The amounts in these columns do not reflect the actual value the named executives will realize from the stock option, restricted stock and performance share awards made to the executives.  The amounts in the table are the grant date value of the awards computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (excluding any effect of estimated forfeitures).  The Company will recognize a portion of the grant date value of the awards each year as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.

The Compensation Committee included performance shares in the equity-based awards to the named executives for the first time in 2010.  The performance shares are earned based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return versus the S&P Midcap 400 Index® over the three year period ending December 31, 2012.  The 2010 stock awards column includes the following grant date values of the performance share awards:  Mr. Roberts $1,440,548, Mr. Ford $312,736, Mr. Altmeyer $439,643, Mr. Sutter $341,189 and Mrs. Lowe $294,354.  The grant date values for the performance shares were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and assumptions regarding the future performance of the Company’s common stock and the stock of the S&P MidCap 400 Index® companies, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, correlation coefficients a nd dividend reinvestment.  The grant date values of the performance share awards assuming the maximum number of performance shares would be earned at the end of the three year performance period based on the $34.21 closing market price of the Company’ common stock on the grant date would have been:  Mr. Roberts $1,957,154, Mr. Ford $424,888, Mr. Altmeyer $597,306, Mr. Sutter $463,546 and Mrs. Lowe $399,914.

Dividends will accrue during the three (3) year performance period and will be paid on awarded performance Shares.

The table on the following page provides the actuarial present value of each named executive’s accumulated benefit under the Company’s Retirement and Supplemental Pension Plans.

The Retirement Plan provides benefits under a cash benefit accrual formula that was added to the plan in 1997.  Under the formula, participants accumulate a cash balance benefit based upon a percentage of compensation allocation made annually to the participants’ cash balance accounts.  The allocation percentage ranges from 2% to 7% of total base salary and annual bonus (including amounts deferred under the Savings Plan and Section 125 of the Code) depending on each participant’s years of service.  The cash balance account is further credited with interest annually.  The interest credit is based on the One Year Treasury Constant Maturities as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release over the one year period ending on the December 31st immediately preceding the applicable plan year.  The interest rate for the plan year ending December  ;31, 2010 was 4%.  The Retirement Plan was closed to new participants effective December 31, 2004.  No employees hired on or after January 1, 2005 are eligible to participate in the Plan.

The benefits under the Supplemental Pension Plan are equal to the difference between the benefits that would have been payable under the Retirement Plan without regard to the compensation limitation imposed by the Code or the limitation on participation in the Retirement Plan that became effective on January 1, 2005 and the actual benefits payable under the Retirement Plan as so limited.

Benefits under the Retirement Plan are payable as a monthly annuity or in a lump sum payment.  Vested benefits under the Supplement Pension Plan are payable only in the form of a monthly annuity.  The benefits under the Retirement Plan become vested after the executive completes 5 years of vesting service, or if earlier, the date the executive terminates employment due to death or disability.  The benefits under the Supplemental Plan become vested after the executive completes ten years of vesting service and retires at or after age 55, or if earlier, the date the executive terminates employment due to death or disability.

The Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Roberts provides that Mr. Roberts will receive a monthly benefit under the Supplemental Pension Plan of $25,703, expressed as a life annuity commencing on January 1, 2013.  The benefit vests at the rate of 20% per year commencing June 21, 2008, or if earlier, the date the Company terminates Mr. Roberts’ employment other than for gross or willful misconduct or Mr. Roberts terminates employment due to death, disability or retirement or for good reason, as defined in his employment agreement with the Company.  The benefit will be actuarially adjusted if it is paid in any form other than a life annuity or the benefit commencement date is before or after January 1, 2013.

(1)   The amounts presented in this column represent the number of actual years the named executive has been a participant in each plan.  None of the named executives have been given credit under the plans for years of service in addition to their actual years of service presented in the table.  Messrs. Roberts and Sutter commenced employment after December 31, 2004 and are not eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan for Employees of Carlisle Corporation.

Note 13 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes the valuation assumptions and other information relating to the Retirement Plan and Supplemental Pension Plan.

Each named executive officer is a party to an executive severance agreement providing for benefits in the event of a “change in control” (defined generally as an acquisition of 20% or more of the outstanding voting Shares or a change in the majority in the Board of Directors).  In the event of any termination of an executive’s employment (including due to the executive’s resignation) within three (3) years of a change of control (other than due to the executive’s death or disability or after the executive attains age 65), each change in control agreement provides that the executive will be entitled to receive three years’ compensation, including bonus, retirement benefits equal to the benefits the executive would have received had he or she completed three additional years of employment, continuation of all life, accident, health, savings, and other fr inge benefits for three years, and relocation assistance.  The three year benefit period is reduced if the executive terminates within three years of the date the executive would attain age 65.  In addition, the agreements provide that the executive will become fully vested in all outstanding stock option and restricted Share awards and outstanding performance shares will be earned at the maximum level.  If any payments to a named executive are considered excess “parachute payments”* and the amount of the excess is more than 15%, the Company is required to provide a tax gross up for the excise taxes the executive would be required to pay with respect to the payments.

* Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code defines “parachute payments” as payments which (i) are compensatory in nature, (ii) are made to or for the benefit of a shareholder, officer or highly compensated individual, and (iii) are contingent on a change in ownership or effective control (or change in ownership of a substantial portion of assets) of a corporation.  If the parachute payments have an aggregate present value of at least 3 times the average annual compensation earned by the recipient of the payment over the 5 years preceding the date of the change in control, the amount of the payments in excess of 1 times such average annual compensation are not deductible by the payor for federal income tax purposes and are subject to a 20% excise tax (payable by the recipient) in addition to regular income taxes.
