Mr. Everitt is co-leader of Deere's Agriculture and Turf

Mr. Everitt has also held additional responsibilities in such
areas as Corporate Secretary, Corporate Engineering, Technology
Development, Human Resources and Labor Relations.
Mr. Loree serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer of Stanley Black & Decker, a position he has held since

subsequently since the merger of Stanley and Black & Decker
which was completed in March 2010. His responsibilities
include executive oversight for all business segments including the
company's European and Asian operations, as well as global
sourcing, IT and business development. Before that, Mr. Loree
served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
Stanley, having joined the company in 1999 from General Electric
where he served for almost 20 years, including vice president for
finance and strategic planning within GE Capital.
Announcing the appointments, Harsco Chairman, President and CEO
Salvatore D. Fazzolari said, "We warmly welcome Dave and Jim to the

two of the world's most respected organizations and equally for
their exceptional global knowledge within virtually every key

be an asset to Harsco's continued emerging market expansion."
Subject to their re-election at next year's Annual Meeting of
Stockholders in April 2011, Mr. Everitt and Mr. Loree will
succeed D. Howard Pierce and Geoffrey D. H. Butler, both of whom
are planning to retire from the Board at that time and not stand
