    TEXTRON
      2007 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

     

    INCENTIVE
      STOCK OPTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     

    (5/2007)

      

    
      

    

    


     

    1.    Grant
      of
      Options.  Pursuant to instructions of the Organization and
      Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board and pursuant to the 2007
      Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Textron has granted to Optionee the right
      and option (the "Option") to purchase all or any part of the number
      of shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares") set forth
      on the applicable Notice of Grant signed by Textron and
      Optionee (the “Notice of Grant”) on the terms and conditions herein set
      forth.

     

    2.    Purchase
      Price.  The purchase price of the Option Shares shall be the
      price set forth on the Notice of Grant, which is the fair market value of a
      share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

     

    3.    Term
      of Option
      and Period of Exercise.  The Option shall expire on the date set
      forth on the Notice of Grant (ten years from the Date of Grant), subject to
      earlier expiration or termination as hereinafter provided.  Except as
      provided in Section 6(c) or (d) or Section 9 hereof, the Option may not be
      exercised for one year from the Date of Grant; after one year from the Date
      of
      Grant, the Option may be exercised for up to one-third of the Option Shares;
      after two years from the Date of Grant, the Option may be exercised for up
      to
      two-thirds of the Option Shares; and after three years from the Date of Grant,
      the Option may be exercised as to all remaining Option Shares.  The
      Option shall not be exercisable for less than 50 Option Shares (or the remaining
      number of Option Shares if that number is less than 50) or after it shall have
      expired or terminated.

     

    4.    Exercise
      of
      Option.  

     

    (a)    Subject
      to these
      terms and conditions and the Stock Option Non-Competition Agreement entered
      into
      in consideration of this Option, the Option may be exercised by written notice
      to Textron, at its principal office, at 40 Westminster Street, Providence,
      Rhode
      Island 02903, Attention:  Stock Plan Lead, Executive
      Rewards.  Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option
      and the number of Option Shares in respect of which it is being exercised,
      and
      shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising the
      Option.  Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full
      purchase price of said Option Shares, upon the receipt of which Textron shall
      issue and deliver as soon as practicable a certificate or certificates
      representing said Option Shares. The certificate or certificates for said Option
      Shares shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising
      the Option (or, if the Option shall be exercised by Optionee and if Optionee
      shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in
      the
      name of Optionee and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and
      shall be delivered as aforesaid to or upon the written order of the person
      or
      persons exercising the Option.  During the life of the optionee, an
      option shall be exercisable only by the optionee or by the optionee’s guardian
      or legal representative.  In the event the Option is being exercised
      pursuant to Section 6(d) by any person or persons other than Optionee, the
      notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person
      or
      persons to exercise the Option.  All Option Shares issued as provided
      herein will be fully paid and nonassessable.  Textron shall pay all
      original issue taxes, if any, with respect to the issuance thereof.

     

    (b)    The
      purchase price of
      the Option Shares shall be paid in full at the time of exercise at the election
      of Optionee (1) in cash, (2) by tendering to Textron shares of Common Stock
      then
      owned by Optionee having a fair market value equal to such purchase price on
      the
      date of exercise or (3) partly in cash and partly in shares of Common Stock
      valued at fair market value on the date of exercise.  To the extent
      that payment is made in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall
      be
      determined by dividing the amount of such payment by the fair market value
      of a
      share of Common Stock on the date of payment.  Except as provided in
      Section 6, the Option may not be exercised unless Optionee was
      an  employee of either Textron or a Subsidiary at all times from the
      Date of Grant through the date of exercise. Optionee shall have no rights as
      a
      shareholder of Textron unless and until a certificate for shares of Common
      Stock
      shall have been issued to Optionee.

     

    5.    Non-Assignability
      of
      Option.  The Option shall not be assignable or transferable by
      Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and
      distribution.  

     

    6.    Termination
      of
      Employment.  

     

    (a)    If
      Optionee's
      employment with Textron or a Subsidiary shall terminate for cause, all Option(s)
      held by the optionee shall expire immediately.

     

    (b)    If
      Optionee's
      employment with Textron or a Subsidiary shall terminate after Optionee has
      become eligible for normal or early retirement, and if Section 6(a) does not
      apply, Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option within 36 months
      after termination to the extent the Option is exercisable at the time of
      exercise.  Early Retirement with Textron is defined as attainment of
      age 60, the completion of 20 years of vesting service, or the attainment of
      age
      55 with the completion of 10 years of vesting service.  Normal
      Retirement with Textron is age 65.

    


    (c)    If
      Optionee's
      employment with Textron or a Subsidiary shall terminate as a result of
      Optionee's total disability, Optionee shall have the right to exercise the
      Option as to all unexercised Option Shares (whether or not the Option was fully
      exercisable at the time of termination of employment) until the expiration
      of
      its term.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "total disability"
      shall mean the inability of the executive to engage in any substantial gainful
      activity due to injury, illness, disease, bodily or mental infirmity which
      is
      expected to be permanent.  An individual shall not be considered
      disabled unless Optionee furnishes proof of the existence
      thereof.  Textron may required the existence or non-existence of a
      disability to be determined by a physician whose selection is mutually agreed
      upon by the executive (or his or her representatives) and Textron.

    


    (d)    If
      Optionee shall die
      while employed by Textron or a Subsidiary or while the Option is still
      exercisable under Sections 6(b), (c) or (e), the Option may be exercised as
      to
      all unexercised Option Shares (whether or not the Option was fully exercisable
      at the time of termination of employment) within a period of one year from
      the
      date of Optionee's death by the executor or administrator of Optionee's estate
      or by the person or persons to whom Optionee shall have transferred such right
      by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

    


    (e)    If
      Optionee's
      employment with Textron and its related companies shall terminate for any reason
      not specified in Sections 6(a), (b), (c) or (d), Optionee shall have the right
      to exercise each Option granted to the optionee within three months after
      Optionee's termination (or within such later time, up to 36 months after his
      or
      her termination of employment, as the Committee may determine) but, unless
      otherwise determined by the Committee, only to the extent the Option is
      exercisable at the time of such termination of employment.  In no
      event, however, shall an option be exercisable under this Section 6(e) for
      six
      months from the Date of Grant.

    


    (f)    Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Section 6, in no event shall the Option be
      exercisable after the expiration of its term.

    


    (g)    Notwithstanding
      any longer period provided above for exercise of the Option, to be eligible
      for
      treatment as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422A of the Internal
      Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended (the "Code"), the Option must be
      exercised within three months of Optionee's termination of em­ployment
      (other than by death or as a result of disability) with Textron or a Subsidiary,
      and in the case of Optionee's disability (within the meaning of Section
      422A(c)(9) of the Code) within one year of such termination.  Exercise
      of the Option after the applicable period specified in the foregoing sentence
      may result in less favorable tax treatment.

    


    7.    No
      Right to
      Employment.  Nothing in this document shall confer upon Optionee
      the right to continue in the employment of Textron or a Subsidiary or affect
      any
      right which Textron or a Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of
      Optionee.

    


    8.    Corporate
      Changes.  The number of Option Shares and the purchase price
      thereof shall both be equitably adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock
      dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
      spin-off, or any other corporate event affecting the Common Stock, as provided
      in the Plan, in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended
      to
      be made available to the Optionee.

     

    9.    Change
      in
      Control.  In the event of a change in control as defined in
      Section 2(a) of the Plan, and except as otherwise determined by the Committee
      prior to the change in control, each unexpired Option shall be exercisable,
      beginning immediately, as to all remaining Option Shares subject to the Option.
      

    


    10.    Definition
      of
      Certain Terms.  Terms used herein but not defined shall have the
      meanings set forth in the Plan.

    


    11.    Option
      Subject to
      Plan.  The Option is in all respects subject to the terms and
      conditions of the Plan as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that
      termination or amendment of the Plan (except amendments as required by technical
      corrections of the Code) shall not, without the consent of Optionee, adversely
      affect Optionee's rights under the Option.

    


    12.    Incentive
      Stock
      Option.  

    


    (a)    The
      Option is
      intended to be an "incentive stock option" under Section 422A of the Code,
      to
      the extent provided thereunder.

    


    (b)    If
      Optionee  disposes of any Option Shares by sale, exchange, gift or
      other disposition and described in Section 424(c) of the Code, either
      (1) within two years after the date of the grant of the Option or
      (2) within one year of the acquisition of such Option Shares, the Optionee
      shall notify the Stock Plan Lead, Executive Rewards at Textron's principal
      office, at 40 Westminster Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02903, of such
      disposition, the amount realized, the exercise price and the date of exercise
      of
      such Option Shares.  Sale or exchange of Option Shares within
      the periods specified in the foregoing sentence may result in less favorable
      tax
      treatment.  Textron shall have the right to withhold from
      other sums which it may owe to the Optionee, or to accept remittance by the
      Optionee of sums in lieu of, an amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state
      and local withholding tax requirements relating to such a
      disposition.

    


    (c)    Optionee
      represents
      that Optionee does not own stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total
      combined voting power of all classes of stock of Textron or any
      Subsidiary.

    


    13.    Administration.  Pursuant
      to Section 3(d) of the Plan, the Board at any time may designate one or more
      officers or committees of Textron to act in place of the Committee in making
      certain determinations under the Plan.

    


      14.    Withholding
      Taxes.  Whenever Textron proposes or is required to issue or
      transfer Option Shares, Textron shall have the right to withhold or to require
      the Optionee to remit to Textron an amount sufficient to satisfy
      any  Federal, state and local withholding tax
      requirements.  Whenever under the plan payments by Textron are to be
      made in cash, such payments shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy
      any
      Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements

    .

              15.    Cause.  “Cause”
      shall mean:  (i) an act or acts of willful misrepresentation, fraud or
      willful dishonesty (other than good faith expense account disputes) by the
      executive which in any case in intended to result in his or another person
      or
      entity’s substantial personal enrichment at the expense of Textron: (ii) any
      willful misconduct by the executive with regard to Textron, its business,
      assets, or employees that has, or was intended to have a material adverse impact
      (economic or otherwise) on Textron:  (iii) any material, willful and
      knowing violation by the executive of (x) Textron’s Business Conduct Guidelines,
      or (y) any of his or her fiduciary duties to Textron which in either case has,
      or was intended to have, a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise)
      on
      Textron; (iv) the willful or reckless behavior of the executive with regard
      to a
      matter of a material nature which has a material adverse impact (economic or
      otherwise) on Textron: (v) the executive’s willful failure to attempt to perform
      his or her duties or his or her willful failure to attempt to follow the legal
      written direction of the Board, which in either case is not remedied within
      ten
      (10) days after receipt by the executive of a written notice from Textron
      specifying the details thereof; or (vi) the executive’s conviction of, or
      pleading nolo contendere or guilty to, a felony (other than (x) a traffic
      infraction or (y) vicarious liability solely as a result of his position
      provided the executive did not have actual knowledge of the actions or in
      actions creating the violation of the law or the executive relied in good faith
      on the advice of counsel with regard to the legality of such action or inaction
      (or the advice of other specifically qualified professionals as to the
      appropriate or proper action or inaction to take with regard to matters which
      are not matters of legal interpretation); No action or inaction should be deemed
      willful if not demonstrably willful and if taken or not taken by the executive
      in good faith as not being adverse to the best interests of Textron. Reference
      in this paragraph to Textron shall also include direct and indirect subsidiaries
      of Textron, and materiality and material adverse impact shall be measured based
      on the action or inaction and the impact upon, and not the size of, Textron
      taken as a whole, provided that after a Change in Control, the size of Textron,
      taken as a whole, shall be a relevant factor in determining materiality and
      material adverse impact.

              Forfeiture
                of unexercised options and required repayment if you disclose confidential
                information

            


    

    You
      specifically acknowledge that any trade secrets or confidential business and
      technical information of the Company or its suppliers or customers, whether
      reduced to writing, maintained on any form of electronic media, or maintained
      in
      your mind or memory and whether compiled by you or the Company, derives
      independent economic value from not being readily known to or ascertainable
      by
      proper means by others who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or
      use;
      that reasonable efforts have been made by the Company to maintain the secrecy
      of
      such information; that such information is the sole property of the Company
      or
      its suppliers or customers and that any retention, use or disclosure of such
      information by you during your employment (except in the course of performing
      your duties and obligations of employment with the Company) or after termination
      thereof, shall constitute a misappropriation of the trade secrets of the Company

      any
      such trade secrets, then  (i) this Option shall terminate effective
      the date you enter into such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation
      of
      another term or condition of this Option or the Plan and (ii) provided this
      Option has been held by you for less than 5 years at the time of exercise,
      you
      are required to repay Textron an amount equal to any gains realized in any
      Option exercise which occurs on the date beginning 180 days prior to the earlier
      of (a) your termination of employment or (b) the termination of this Option,
      or
      at any time after such date.  For purposes of this Agreement, the gain
      realized shall be equal to the difference between the fair market value of
      the
      stock on the date of the exercise and the Option exercise price.

              Organization
                and Compensation Committee
                Discretion

            


    

    
      	
               

            	
              You

                above
                only if the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board
                of
                Directors (or its duly appointed agent) determines in its sole discretion
                that such action is in the best interests of
                Textron.

              Severability

            


    

    
      	
               

            	
              The
                parties agree that each provision contained in this Agreement shall
                be
                treated as a separate and independent clause, and the unenforceability
                of
                any one clause shall in no way impair the enforceability of any of
                the
                other clauses herein.  Moreover, if one or more of the
                provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held
                to be
                excessively broad as to scope, activity or subject, then such provisions
                shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting and
                reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible
                with
                the applicable law.
