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
|
|
|
|
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. Notwithstanding the prior
