AWARDS

Incentive awards for all participants in this Program will be reviewed and approved by the Committee. For all participants, the annual incentive award par opportunity is the annualized salary approved by March 31, 2009 that is in effect on April 1, 2009 multiplied by the applicable position target incentive value percent.

Incentive awards for 2009 will be based on a combination of the following elements:

I.

 

CONSOLIDATED NET EARNINGS 40% OF INCENTIVE

Consolidated Net Earnings will be as reported on the Corporation’s year-end financial statements with adjustments for significant non-operational charges. Such adjustments will be defined by March 31, 2009 and have in the past been for Fresh Start Accounting, asbestos, restructuring charges, bankruptcy expenses and the cumulative impact of new accounting pronouncements. For all participants, this portion of the award represents 40% of the incentive par. This portion of the award will be paid from a pool funded by Consolidated Net Earnings results according to the following schedule:

 

 

 

 

 

$0 to $75 Million Net Earnings

 

2.68% of this tier will fund the pool

$75+ to $150 Million Net Earnings

 

2.13% of this tier will fund the pool

$150+ to $400 Million Net Earnings

 

1.72% of this tier will fund the pool

$400+ to $700 Million

 

1.22% of this tier will fund the pool

This is the same pool from which awards based on Consolidated Net Earnings will be paid under the USG Corporation 2009 Annual Management Incentive Program for employees, other than executive officers, occupying positions in Broadband 11 or higher (the “Other Program”). Each tier of earnings is calculated separately and added together to determine the total pool. This amount is then divided by the sum of the Net Earnings pars for all participants in this Program and the Other Program. The factor derived from this method is then applied to each participant’s Net Earnings pars to determine the individual award for this segment. For each executive officer, (i) their individual Net Earnings par shall be determined by March 31, 2009, and (ii) their individual factor shall be determined by taking into account the Net Earnings par of all participants eligible to participate in the Program and the Other Program as of March 31, 2009 and based on the sum of all such participants’ Net Earnings par as determined by March 31, 2009.
