Certain other subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans or, in certain countries, termination pay plans covering substantially all regular employees. The funding policy for the qualified defined benefit plans in North America and the defined benefit plans in the U.K. is to contribute assets at least equal in amount to regulatory minimum requirements. Nonqualified U.S. plans providing pension benefits in excess of limitations imposed by the U.S. income tax code are not funded. Funding for the remaining defined benefit plans outside the U.S. is based on legal requirements, tax considerations, investment opportunities, and customary business practices in these countries.   In 2009, the Corporation took action with respect to its U.S. defined benefit pension and supplemental defined benefit plans to provide that no future compensation and benefit service will be accrued under these plans, other than for certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements, for plan years after December 31, 2009 (“U.S. DB Pension Freeze”).   The U.S. DB Pension Freeze resulted in a pension curtailment charge aggregating $21 million in 2009 due to the write-off of applicable unamortized prior service costs. As a result of the curtailment, plan assets and projected benefit obligations were required to be remeasured as of the curtailment date. The remeasurement decreased the projected benefit obligations by approximately $320 million. In addition, the average remaining life expectancy of inactive participants rather than the average remaining service lives of active employees must be used in the amortization of actuarial gains and losses as a result of the freeze.   Other Postretirement Benefit Plans   Substantially all U.S. retirees and employees are covered by unfunded health care and life insurance benefit plans. Certain benefits are based on years of service and/or age at retirement. The plans are principally noncontributory for employees who were eligible to retire before 1993 and contributory for most employees who retire after 1992, and the Corporation provides no subsidized benefits to most employees hired after 2003.   In the U.S., health care benefit costs are capped and indexed by 3 percent annually for certain employees retiring on or before April 1, 2004. The future cost for retiree health care benefits is limited to a defined fixed cost based on the years of service for certain employees retiring after April 1, 2004. The annual increase in the consolidated weighted-average health care cost trend rate is expected to be 7.1 percent in 2010 and 2011 and to decline to 5.0 percent in 2015 and thereafter.   Summarized

Principal Plans   Strategic asset allocation decisions are made with the intent of maximizing return at an acceptable level of risk. Risk factors considered in setting the strategic asset allocation include, among other things, plan participants retirement benefit security, the estimated payments of the associated liabilities, the plan funded status, and the corporate financial condition. The resulting strategic asset allocation is a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. Equity investments are typically diversified across geographies and market capitalization. Fixed income investments are diversified across multiple sectors including government issues, corporate debt instruments, and securitized instruments with a portfolio duration that is consistent with the estimated payment of the associated liability. Actual asset allocation is regularly reviewed and periodically rebalanced to the strategic allocation when considered appropriate.   When deemed appropriate, certain of the Corporation’s defined benefit pension trusts execute hedging strategies to manage the price risk applicable to equity investments. These strategies are designed to limit the downside exposure of equity investments by trading off upside potential above an acceptable level. In 2009, zero-cost equity collars were established to protect against potential losses beyond a certain level and to allow realization of potential gains up to a certain level on $1.0 billion of U.S. equity exposure in the Corporation’s U.S. pension trust from June 2 to December 30, 2009. In January 2010, similar equity collars were established to protect against potential losses beyond a certain level and to allow realization of potential gains up to a certain level on $1.3 billion of U.S. equity exposure in the Corporation’s U.S. pension plan. The maturity dates of the equity collars vary, with the latest maturity date occurring in January 2011.   The expected long-term rate of return is evaluated on an annual basis. In setting this assumption, a number of factors are considered including projected future returns by asset class, current asset allocation and historical long-term market performance. As part of the factors related to historical market performance, the Corporation considered the range of compounded annual returns for 15 rolling 15-year and 20-year periods through 2009 relative to each plan’s current asset allocation.   The weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on pension fund assets used to calculate pension expense for the Principal Plans was 8.47 percent in 2009 compared with 8.48 percent in 2008 and will be 8.19 percent in 2010. The expected long-term rate of return on the assets in the Principal Plans is based on an asset allocation assumption of about 65 percent with equity managers, with expected long-term rates of return ranging from 9 to 10 percent, and about 35 percent with fixed income managers, with an expected long-term rate of return ranging from 6 to 7 percent.   Plan Assets   The Corporation’s pension plan

to the type of security being valued. Substantially all of the equity securities held directly by the Principal Plans are actively traded and fair values are determined based on quoted market prices. Fair values of U.S. Treasury securities are determined based on trading activity in the marketplace.   Fair values of U.S. corporate debt, U.S. securitized fixed income and international bonds are typically determined by reference to the values of similar securities traded in the marketplace and current interest rate levels. Multiple pricing services are typically employed to assist in determining these valuations.   Fair values of equity securities and fixed income securities held through units of pooled funds are based on net asset value (NAV) of the units of the pooled fund determined by the fund manager. Pooled funds are similar in nature to retail mutual funds, but are more efficient for institutional investors than retail mutual funds. As pooled funds are only accessible by institutional investors, the NAV is not readily observable by noninstitutional investors.   Equity securities held directly by the pension trusts and those held through units in pooled funds are monitored as to issuer and industry. Except for U.S. Treasuries, concentrations of fixed income securities are similarly monitored for concentrations by issuer and industry. As of December 31, 2009 there were no significant concentrations of equity or debt securities in any single issuer or industry.   As of December 31, 2009, there was less than $1 million of assets in the Principal Plans with a level 3 fair value determination (significant unobservable inputs). In addition, during 2009, there were no significant transfers of assets in the Principal Plans to or from level 3 fair value determinations.   Cash Flows   The Corporation currently expects to contribute about $240 million to its pension plans in 2010.   Estimated Future Benefit Payments   Over the next ten years, the Corporation expects that the following gross benefit payments and related Medicare Part D reimbursements will occur:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center" border="0"> <tr> <td width="60%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="11%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td valign="bottom" width="11%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td valign="bottom" width="11%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center" colspan="2">Pension Benefits</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center" colspan="2">Other Benefits</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center" colspan="2">Medicare Part D Reimbursements</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center" colspan="8">(Millions of dollars)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> 2010 </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">350</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">80</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(4</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> 2011 </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">352</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">81</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(4</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> 2012 </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">351</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">80</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(5</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> 2013 </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">357</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">81</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(5</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> 2014 </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">365</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">84</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(5</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> 2015 – 2019 </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,997</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">485</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(27</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td> </tr> </table>   Health Care Cost Trends   Assumed health care cost trend rates affect the amounts reported for postretirement health care benefit plans.

In addition, the Corporation adopted, effective January 1, 2010, a new 401(k) profit sharing plan, and amended its supplemental plan, to provide for a matching contribution of 100 percent of a U.S. employee’s contributions to the plans, to a yearly maximum of four percent of eligible compensation, as well as a discretionary profit sharing contribution, in which contributions will be based on the Corporation’s profit performance. Except for certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements, U.S. participants’ investment balances in the Corporation’s existing 401(k) plan and Retirement Contribution Plan were transferred to the new 401(k) plan on January 1, 2010.   Contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are primarily based on the compensation of covered employees. The Corporation’s contributions, all of which were charged to expense, were $61 million in both 2009 and 2008, and $56 million in 2007.   Voluntary contribution investment plans are provided to substantially all North American and most European employees. Under the plans, the Corporation matches a portion of employee contributions.
