			3.1       Form of Grant–The grant under this Program shall be a RSU grant pursuant to the Ball Corporation 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan or its successor.

			3.2       Minimum Number of Newly Acquired Shares–The minimum number of Newly Acquired Shares that will be matched by RSUs at one time is the lesser of 500 shares or the amount required to complete the award.

500 shares or the amount required to complete the award, the Participant may then request that matching RSUs be granted.    
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.3       Granting of RSUs–Unless otherwise specified in the Award Letter, the RSUs will be granted on the 15th of each month provided the documentation required in this Section 3 is received on or before the 5th of that month, otherwise it will be granted the following month.  If the 15th occurs on a holiday or weekend, the RSUs will be issued on the workday immediately prior to that holiday or weekend.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 4.
			

			
	
			
			Holding Period for the Newly Acquired Shares




		
			 
		

		
			The Participant must agree that the Newly Acquired Shares for which the RSUs were granted will not be sold or transferred prior to the lapse of restrictions on the matching RSUs. Corporate officers are discouraged from pledging such shares, and should check with the General Counsel before doing so. For Participants that are not officers of the Corporation, a pledge of Newly Acquired Shares as collateral for any loan during the Holding Period is not considered to be a sale or transfer of the shares for purposes of this Program; however, in the event of default on the loan during the Holding Period, the Newly Acquired Shares will be considered to be sold and the matching RSUs will be forfeited.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 5.

				 6.
			

			
	
			
			Additional Cash Payment




		
			 
		

		
			The Participant also will receive a dividend equivalent, if any, payable with respect to the RSUs  from the date of grant until restrictions lapse.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 7.
			

			
	
			
			Retirement, Disability or Death




		
			 
		

		
			7.1       Retirement–Participants who retire before restrictions lapse on RSUs granted under this Program will receive a prorated portion of their outstanding RSUs and the restrictions on the prorated RSUs will lapse.  Fractional RSUs will be rounded up at proration.

			Forfeiture




		
			 
		

		
			All rights in and to any and all RSUs granted pursuant to this Program which have not had restrictions lapse as described above in this Program, shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s termination from the Corporation, except as provided for in Section 7. Any Participant whose employment terminates for cause, regardless of Retirement status, shall forfeit all outstanding RSUs under this Program.  In addition, any RSUs granted pursuant to this Program shall be forfeited if the Newly Acquired Shares to which the RSUs relate are sold or transferred by the Participant prior to the lapse of restrictions on such RSUs.  For each RSU for which the restrictions have lapsed, the holding period requirement for the Newly Acquired Shares for which the RSUs were granted shall also end.

			9.4       Recoupment of Awards Resulting from Fraud or Intentional Misconduct–If the Board or an appropriate Committee of the Board determines that any fraud or intentional misconduct by one or more Officers or other executives of the Corporation, or an affiliate, at a level of Vice President or above caused the Corporation, directly or indirectly, to restate its financial statements and the Officer or such executive has received more compensation than would have been paid absent the fraud or intentional misconduct, the Board or Committee, in its discretion, shall take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate to remedy the fraud or intentional misconduct and prevent its recurrence.  Such action may include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in appropriate cases, requiring partial or full reimbursement of any incentive compensation paid to the Officer or such executive or causing partial or full cancellation of any outstanding RSUs previously granted to such Officer or such executive in the amount by which the value of the such compensation exceeds or exceeded any lower value that would have resulted based on the restated financial results.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.5       Employment or Future Eligibility to Participate Not Guaranteed–Nothing contained in this Program, nor any action taken hereunder, shall be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation.  Designation as a Participant is discretionary, is not a contractual right, and may be revoked at any time by the Committee with respect to any RSUs not yet granted.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.6       Gender, Singular and Plural–All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine and feminine gender as the identity of the person or persons may require.
