EDIT : here is what you're after ....

 #pragma strict

 var theTimer : float = 0.0;
 var theStartTime : float = 120.0;
 var showRemaining : boolean = false;

 function Start() 
 {
     theTimer = theStartTime;
 }

 function Update() 
 {
     theTimer -= Time.deltaTime;

     if (theTimer < 10) 
     {
         Debug.Log("TEN SECONDS LEFT !");
         showRemaining = true;
     }

     if (theTimer <= 0) 
     {
         Debug.Log("OUT OF TIME");
         theTimer = 0;
     }

     if ( Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.G) )
     {
         Debug.Log("Resetting");
         theTimer = theStartTime;
         showRemaining = false;
     }
 }

 function OnGUI() 
 {
     var text : String = String.Format( "{0:00}:{1:00}", parseInt( theTimer / 60.0 ), parseInt( theTimer % 60.0 ) ); 

     if (showRemaining)
     {
         GUI.Label( Rect( 10, 10, Screen.width - 20, 30), text );
     }
 }

 var showRemaining : boolean = false;

 ... in update
 if (remainingTime < 10secs)
 {
     showRemaining = true;
 }

 ... OnGUI
 if (showRemaining)
 {
     GUI.Box( Rect(0,0,100,20), remainingTime.ToString() );
 }
