When performance falls between the designated points in the table, the incentive will be determined by interpolation.
Discretionary Award
For 2008, the remaining fifty percent of the supplemental incentive will, in lieu of a discretionary component, be based on the following two safety measurements, each of which will be equally weighted:
§   Total Incident Injury Rate:
  Ø   Each Operating Unit has a “Total Incident Injury Rate” (“TIIR”) calculated for the prior year. Subject to each participant’s ethical behavior and compliance with the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, one-half of the discretionary award will be based on improvements in TIIR performance. The baseline for measuring current year performance is the respective actual TIIR for the prior year expressed as a percentage of hours worked. The following Bonus Eligibility Scale will be used to measure the amount of bonus earned as a result of improvement in the TIIR rate from the prior year to the current year:


         
If TIIR rate is   Bonus earned
Reduced by:   will be:
Less than 5%
    0 %
5%
    25 %
10%
    50 %
15%
    75 %
20%
    100 %
Greater than 35%
    125 %

  Ø   When performance falls between the designated points in the table, the incentive will be determined by interpolation.
 
  Ø   Regardless of the percentage decrease, if an operating unit has a TIIR below 1.75 at the end of 2007 then 100% of the target bonus is earned.
 
  Ø   Regardless of the percentage decrease, if an operating unit has a TIIR above the industry standard of 5.6; it is ineligible for this incentive component.


9


 

§   Safety Severity Rating:
  Ø   Each Operating Unit’s performance will also be measured based on Severity of claims. Subject to each participant’s ethical behavior and compliance with the Code of Business Conduct, one-half of the discretionary award will be based on the Operating Unit’s Safety Severity Rate. The baseline for measuring current year performance is the respective actual Total Incurred Loss Amount for the prior year expressed as a percentage of payroll. The following Bonus Eligibility Scale will be used to measure the amount of bonus earned as a result of improvement in the Total Incurred Rate from the prior year to the current year.:


         
If Total Incurred    
Loss Rate   Bonus earned
Reduced by:   will be:
Less than 5%
    0 %
5%
    25 %
10%
    50 %
15%
    75 %
20%
    100 %
Greater than 35%
    125 %

  Ø   When performance falls between the designated points in the table, the incentive will be determined by interpolation.
 
  Ø   Regardless of the percentage decrease, if an operating unit has a Total Incurred amount below $5,000 at the end of the current year then 100% of the target bonus is earned.


Limitations
§   Any calculated incentive will be subject to (i) assessment of overall company performance to ensure that payout of calculated incentives will not jeopardize the financial stability of the company and (ii) approval by the Compensation Committee.

§   A new participant added to this Plan during the Plan year will be pro-rated from their date of hire. In any event, a new participant must be employed by October 1 to be eligible for incentives in the current plan year
