  (a)   Not later than the ninetieth day of each calendar year, the Committee shall approve (i) a Target Award to be granted to each Participant and (ii) one or more performance targets and formulas for determining the amount of each Award. Performance targets shall be based upon the return on total capital employed, return on equity, return on tangible assets employed, economic value income, net income, market share, sales development or support costs of the Company and/or its subsidiaries; provided, however, that performance targets which are used in the Plan will not be used in the Company’s Annual Incentive Compensation Plan in the same year.

     The Committee may alter or amend this Plan from time to time or terminate it in its entirety; provided, however, that no such action shall, without the consent of a Participant, affect the rights in an outstanding Award of such Participant; and further provided, however, that no amendment may be made which would cause any amount paid to a Participant who is, or is determined by the Committee to be likely to become, a “covered employee” to be includable as “applicable employee remuneration” of such Participant, as such terms are defined in Section 162(m).
8. General Provisions
  (a)   No Right of Employment. Neither the adoption or operation of this Plan, nor any document describing or referring to this Plan, or any part thereof, shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or shall in any way affect the right and power of the Company to terminate the employment of any employee at any time with or without assigning a reason therefor to the same extent as the Company might have done if this Plan had not been adopted.
