(ii)“Award Amount” means the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Award granted to the Participant under this Subplan at the beginning of the Performance Period.

(iii)“Award Payment Date” means the date the Committee approves the payout of Common Stock covered by an award under this Subplan to a Participant.

(xii)“Return on Capital” shall mean the return produced by funds invested in the Company and shall be determined as Earnings from Continuing Operations, as defined in Section 2(a)(vi), divided by the Average Capital Employed.  The impact on Earnings from Continuing Operations and on Average Capital Employed of one or more acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $300 million or more and of individual acquisitions with a purchase price of greater than $100 million shall be excluded for the calendar year in which the acquisition or acquisitions occur.  Average Capital Employed shall be derived by adding the Company’s capital debt plus equity at the close of the last day of the year preceding the Performance Year to the Company’s capital debt plus equity at the close of the last day of the present Performance Year, with the resulting sum being divided by two.  Capital debt is defined as the sum of borrowing by the Company due within one year and long-term borrowing, as designated on the Company’s balance sheet.  The resulting ratio shall be multiplied by One Hundred (100) in order to convert such to a percentage.  Such percentage shall be calculated to the third place after the decimal point (i.e., xx.xxx%), and then rounded to the second place after the decimal point (i.e., xx.xx%). “Equity”, “borrowing due within one year”, and “long-term borrowing” shall be determined and measured in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), as applied in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the Effective Date, excluding the impact of any subsequent changes during the Performance Period in GAAP or in the manner of application of GAAP in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and including the results from any operations which are included in the Company's continuing operations as of the Effective Date and which are subsequently presented as discontinued operations during the Performance Period as a result of a divestiture.

(b)Any capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Subplan shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan.

Section 3.Administration. This Subplan shall be administered by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee shall have authority to interpret this Subplan, to prescribe rules and regulations relating to this Subplan, and to take any other actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of this Subplan, and shall retain all general authority granted to it under Article 4 of the Plan. At the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall approve Actual Grant Amounts awarded to participants under this Subplan in accordance with the applicable approval and certification requirements specified in the Plan.

Section 4.Eligibility; Types of Awards. The Participants who are eligible to participate in this Subplan are those employees who, as of the Participation Date, are at Salary Grade 49 and 105 and above. Employees who are promoted during the Performance Period to a position that would meet the above criteria, but who do not hold such position as of the Participation Date, are not eligible to participate in this Subplan. The Covered Employees identified on Schedule A shall receive Performance Awards that are Qualified Performance-Based Awards. The remainder of the Participants shall receive Performance Awards that are not intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Awards.

Section 5.Form of Payout of Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Subplan, amounts earned in connection with the Performance Awards under this Subplan shall be paid out in the form of unrestricted shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that any fractional share of Common Stock, payable as a result of Section 9 of this Subplan or otherwise, shall be paid in cash in an amount representing the market value of such fractional share at the time of payment.

Section 6.Size of Awards.

(a)Target Award. Exhibit A hereto shows by Salary Grade the Target Long- Term Incentive Award as a percentage of base salary and the percentage of Performance Shares determined by Salary Grade. The Salary Grade to be used in determining the percentage of base salary for any Award Amount to a Participant under this Subplan shall be the Salary Grade applicable to the position held by the participant on the Participation Date. The actual size of the Award Amount to the Participant shall be determined by the Committee with respect to Participants who are executive officers of the Company, and by the Committee’s senior management delegates in the case of all other Participants, based on the Participant’s past performance and potential for contributions to the Company’s future long term success. Based on this assessment, the Participant may receive no award, the target award amount, or any amount within the Target Award range of ±25% converted to increments of full Shares. The Committee shall provide its delegates with guidelines for determining the cumulative award targets for Participants who are not executive officers of the Company.

(b)Actual Grant Amount. Subject to the Committee’s authority to adjust the Actual Grant Amount described in Section 12, the Actual Grant Amount awarded to the Participant at the end of the Performance Period is determined by applying a multiplier to the Participant’s Award Amount. The multiplier shall be determined by comparing Company performance relative to two measures:

(i)The Company’s TSR during the Performance Period relative to the TSRs of the companies in the Comparison Group during the Performance Period. The Company and each company in the Comparison Group shall be ranked by TSR, in descending order, with the company having the highest TSR during the Performance Period being ranked number one. The Comparison Group shall further be separated into quintiles (first 20%, second 20%, etc.) and the Company’s position, in relation to the Comparison Group, shall be expressed as a position in the applicable quintile ranking; and

(ii)The arithmetic average, for each of the Performance Years during the Performance Period, of the Company’s average Return on Capital minus a Return on Capital target. The Return on Capital target will be determined by the Committee. In the case of Performance Awards that are intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Awards, the Return on Capital target for each year included in the Performance Period shall be established within 90 days after commencement of the Performance Period. Moreover, in the case of Performance Awards that are intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Awards, Return on Capital will be measured in a manner that complies with Code Section 162(m), including the requirement that the performance goals be objectively measured.

An award multiplier table is shown in Exhibit B. The award multiplier is based on the Company’s performance relative to its quintile ranking relative to the Comparison Group, and its average Return on Capital relative to a target during the Performance Period. The award multipliers range from 2.5 (i.e., 250%), if the Company’s TSR is in the top performing quintile (top 20%) of companies in the Comparison Group and the average Return on Capital minus the target Return on Capital is greater than 7 percentage points, to 0.0 (with no shares of Common Stock earned by Participants under this Subplan) if the Company does not meet the specified levels of performance relative to the two measures.

Section 7.Composition of Comparison Group.

(a)Qualified Performance-Based Awards. In the case of Performance Awards that are intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Awards, any member of the Comparison Group that ceases to exist during the Performance Period shall be disregarded for the entire Performance Period. There shall be no other adjustments in the Comparison Group after commencement of the Performance Period with respect to Performance Awards that are intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Awards.

(b)Performance Awards. In the case of Performance Awards that are not intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Awards, the Committee retains the discretion to make the following adjustments in the Comparison Group during the Performance Period. A company in the Comparison Group may be dropped from the Comparison Group if a company’s common stock ceases to be publicly traded on a national stock exchange or market; or a company is a party to a significant merger, acquisition, or other reorganization. Under these, or similar, circumstances, the company or companies may be removed from the Comparison Group, and may be replaced with another company or companies by Standard & Poor’s, consistent with their established criteria for selection of companies for the Comparison Group. In any case where the Comparison Group ceases to exist, or is otherwise determined to no longer be appropriate as the basis for a measure under this Subplan, the Committee may designate a replacement Comparison Group. In any such case, the Committee shall have authority to determine the appropriate method of calculating the TSR of such former and/or replacement Comparison Group, whether by complete substitution of the replacement Comparison Group (and disregard of the former Comparison Group) over the entire Performance Period or by pro rata calculations for each Comparison Group or otherwise.

Section 8.Preconditions to Payout Under Performance Awards.

(a)Continuous Employment. Except as specified in paragraph (b) below, to be eligible for payout under a Performance Award under this Subplan, a Participant must remain continuously employed with the Company or a Subsidiary at all times from the Effective Date through the Award Payment Date.

(b)Qualifying Termination, Death, Disability, or Termination for an Approved Reason Before the Award Payment Date. If a Participant’s employment is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination, death, disability, or any approved reason as determined by the Committee (in the case of an executive officer) or the executive officer responsible for Human Resources (in the case of non-executive officers) (including reduction in force, divestiture, special separation, or termination by mutual consent) prior to the Award Payment Date, the Participant shall receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Subplan, a payout representing a prorated portion of the Actual Grant Amount to which such Participant otherwise would have been entitled to receive under Section 6 of this Subplan had the Participant remained in employment to the end of the Performance Period, with the precise amount of such payout to be determined by multiplying the Actual Grant Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months employed in the Performance Period from the award effective date through and including the effective date of such termination, and the denominator of which is 36 (the total number of months in the Performance Period).

Section 9.Manner and Timing of Award Payments.

(a)Timing of Award Payment. Except as provided in Section 9(c), if any Awards are payable under this Subplan, the payment of such Awards to Participants shall be made as soon as is administratively practicable after final approval by the Committee of such payments and within the first taxable year immediately following the end of the Performance Period.

(b)Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold or require the grantee to remit a cash amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld. Further, either the Company or the grantee may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement by having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax which could be imposed on the transaction.

(c)Deferral of Award in Excess of the Maximum Deductible Amount. If payment under a Performance Award would, or could in the reasonable estimation of the Committee, result in the participant’s receiving compensation in excess of the Maximum Deductible Amount in a given year, then such portion (or all, as applicable) of the Award as would, or could in the reasonable estimation of the Committee, cause such participant to receive compensation from the Company in excess of the Maximum Deductible Amount may, at the sole discretion of the Committee, be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, which shall be paid at such time as permitted under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and applicable Treasury Regulations and guidance thereunder.

Section 10.No Rights as Stockholder. No certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued under this Subplan, nor shall any participant have any rights as a stockholder as a result of participation in this Subplan, until the Actual Grant Amount has been determined and such participant has otherwise become entitled to an Award under the terms of the Plan and this Subplan. In particular, no participant shall have any right to vote or to receive dividends on any shares of Common Stock under this Subplan until certificates for such shares have been issued as described above.

Section 11.Application of Plan. The provisions of the Plan shall apply to this Subplan, and the provisions of this Subplan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the terms of the Plan.

Section 12.Adjustment of Actual Grant Amount. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Actual Grant Amount to reflect overall Company performance and business and financial conditions, except in the case of a Performance Award that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such actions would cause the Performance Award that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. In the case of a Performance Award that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award, the Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Award downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determined.

Section 13.Reimbursement of Certain Compensation Following Restatement. The Performance Awards are subject to the provisions of the Plan and any applicable law or Company policy requiring reimbursement to the Company of certain incentive-based compensation following an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement or due to other events or conditions.

Section 14.Amendments. The Committee may, from time to time, amend this Subplan in any manner.

Section 15. Code Section 409A. All Performance Awards granted under this Subplan shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan concerning Code Section 409A, which provisions shall be incorporated into this Subplan by reference.

13.Adjustment of Actual Grant Amount. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Actual Earned Shares to reflect overall Company performance and business and financial conditions, except in the case of an Award that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such actions would cause the Performance Shares that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the performance-based exemption under Code Section 162(m). In the case of an Award that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award, the Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Award downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determined.

14.Reimbursement of Certain Compensation Following Restatement.

If you are a resident of or employed in a country other than the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Performance Shares, to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Common Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Award) in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, you agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as may be required to allow your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).

16.No Guarantee of Employment. The grant of the Performance Shares shall not create any employment relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Further, the grant of the Performance Shares shall not confer upon you any right of continued employment with your Employer nor limit in any way the right of your Employer to terminate your employment at any time. You shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the settlement or payment of the Performance Shares pursuant to the attainment of the performance objectives until the date of issuance of such shares of Common Stock.

Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan or the Subplan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your employment with your Employer.

18.Termination Indemnities. Your participation in the Plan and Subplan is voluntary. The value of the Performance Shares and any other awards granted under the Plan and Subplan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of your employment (and your employment contract, if any).

NO LATER THAN 120 (ONE HUNDRED TWENTY) DAYS FOLLOWING THE GRANT DATE.

1.    Waiver of Termination Rights. In consideration of the grant of your Award, you agree that you waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of any termination of employment for any reason whatsoever, insofar as those rights result or may result from (a) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the Plan or the Subplan, or (b) you cease to have rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any awards under the Plan or Subplan as a result of such termination.

1.    Qualifying Person Exemption. The following provision shall supplement Section 20 of the Performance Shares Notice:

The grant of the Performance Shares under the Plan is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption” under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Plan or the Subplan have not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. You should note that, as a result, the Performance Shares is subject to section 257 of the SFA and accordingly, you will be unable to make (a) any subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Performance Shares in Singapore or (b) any offer of sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired as a result of the Performance Shares in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.).

1.    Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding. The following provision shall replace Section 8 of the Performance Shares Notice:

Regardless of any action the Company or your Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, primary and secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding attributable to or payable in connection with or pursuant to the grant of the Performance Shares, the settlement or payment of the Performance Shares pursuant to the attainment of the performance objectives, and the acquisition of shares of Common Stock, or the release or assignment of the Performance Shares for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Performance Shares (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility. Furthermore, the Company and/or your Employer: (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Shares, including the grant of the Performance Shares, settlement or payment of the Performance Shares pursuant to the attainment of the performance objectives, the acquisition of shares of Common Stock, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Shares to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

As a condition of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement or payment of the Performance Shares pursuant to the attainment of the performance objectives, the Company and your Employer shall be entitled to withhold and you agree to pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or your Employer to satisfy, all obligations of the Company and/or your Employer to account to HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) for any Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and your Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you from any salary/wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and your Employer. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, you authorize the Company and/or your Employer, each at its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by one of the following: (a) by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement or payment of the Performance Shares pursuant to the attainment of the performance objectives a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount, provided, however, that in no event may the whole number of shares of Common Stock withheld in the case of this clause (a) exceed the applicable statutory minimum withholding rates (if any); or (b) in cash. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Common Stock as described herein, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Performance Shares.

If, by the date on which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs (the "Chargeable Event"), you have relocated to a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which you were living in at the Date of Grant, you acknowledge that the Company and your Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

You also agree that the Company and your Employer may determine the amount of Tax-Related Items to be withheld and accounted for by reference to the maximum applicable rates, without prejudice to any right which you may have to recover any overpayment from the relevant tax authorities.

You shall pay to the Company or your Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or your Employer may be required to account to HMRC with respect to the Chargeable Event that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. If payment or withholding is not made within 90 days of the Chargeable Event or such other period as required under U.K. law (the "Due Date"), you agree that the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items shall (assuming you are not a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), constitute a loan owed by you to your Employer, effective on the Due Date. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current HMRC Official Rate and it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company and/or your Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to above. If any of the foregoing methods of collection are not allowed under applicable laws or if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section, the Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

3.    Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your employment with your Employer for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract, insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to settlement or payment of the Performance Shares as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of the Performance Shares. Upon the grant of the Performance Shares, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.
