and
WHEREAS, effective August 3, 2009, the Committee
made an award of performance stock units to the Employee as an
inducement to achieve the below described performance
objective.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and of the covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. Performance
Stock Unit Award Grant . Subject to the terms of the
Plan, a copy of which has been provided to the Employee and is
incorporated herein by reference, the Company has granted Employee
an award of performance stock units effective August 3,
2009. Such performance stock units entitle the Employee
to receive a cash payment equal to the product of the number of
units awarded pursuant to the table below, multiplied by the fair
market value of the Company’s common stock as of June 30,
2012, if the Company achieves the economic profit objective stated
below (the “Performance Objective”):

The Performance Objective is the amount of the
Company’s economic profit (measured as the difference between
the Company’s cumulative net operating profit after taxes and
the Company’s cumulative capital charge) for the cumulative
three fiscal year period ending June 30, 2012, as specified in the
table above. If the Company achieves the maximum
Performance Objective as specified on the table above, the Employee
will earn the maximum number of performance stock
units. If the Company achieves the target Performance
Objective as specified on the table above, the Employee will
receive the target number of performance stock units. If
the Company achieves the threshold Performance Objective stated
above, the Employee will earn the threshold number of performance
stock units. No performance stock units will be earned for
performance below the 3-year cumulative economic profit threshold
and no additional performance stock units will be earned for
performance exceeding the 3-year cumulative economic profit
maximum. In the event that the Company’s economic
profit is between the achievement levels set forth in the above
table, the number of performance stock units awarded shall be
determined by interpolation. The Committee shall certify
whether and to what extent such Performance Objective is satisfied
before any payment pursuant to a performance stock unit is
made. Such certification, and payments pursuant to such
certification, shall be made within 2½ months after June 30,
2012.
2. Price Paid by
Employee . The price to be paid by the Employee for
the performance stock units granted shall be
No
Dollars ($ 0.00 ) per share.
3. Voluntary
Termination of Employment Prior to Retirement/Termination for
Cause . If prior to attaining the Performance
Objective the Employee voluntarily terminates employment prior to
the Employee becoming eligible for normal or early retirement under
the Company’s defined benefit pension plan covering the
Employee or the employment of the Employee is terminated for cause,
the performance stock units granted to the Employee shall be
forfeited. The Committee shall conclusively determine
whether the Employee was terminated for cause for purposes of this
performance stock unit award.
4. Termination of
Employment due to Death or Disability . If prior to
attaining the Performance Objective the Employee terminates
employment due to death or disability, a prorated portion of the
performance stock units granted shall immediately vest, and the
Company shall make a cash payment pursuant to such prorated awards
as if the maximum Performance Objective had been fully
achieved. In such event, the calculation of the cash
payment due to the Employee shall be based on the fair market value
of the Company’s common stock as of t
