(1)   For purposes of computing the registration fee only. Pursuant to Rule 457(c) and (h), the Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share is based upon the average of the high and low prices for the Company’s Common Stock on the composite tape for the New York Stock Exchange on May 12, 2010.
 
(2)   Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, a registration fee of $63,350 was paid with respect to securities available for issuance under a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-120239) filed by Avery Dennison Corporation on November 5, 2004. Pursuant to Rule 457(b) and 457(p), $22,373.85 of prepaid registration fees is presently available for offset. The $5,368.89 registration fee associated with this registration statement is hereby offset against the prepaid registration fees made in connection with the securities available for issuance under Registration No. 333-120239. Two separate S-8 registration statements, registering obligations in accordance with (i) the Avery Dennison Corporation 2005 Executive Variable Retirement Plan, Amended and Restated, and (ii) the Avery Dennison Corporation Stock Option Incentive Plan, Amended and Restated, have been filed on the same day as this registration statement and for purposes of applying the filing fee are deemed to have been filed prior to this filing. Since the prepaid registration fees completely offset the registration fee for this filing, no additional registration fee is being paid for this filing, and, following this filing, $17,004.96 will remain available for future offset under Registration No. 333-120239 against registration fees that would otherwise be payable.
