Selection for participation by the Plan Administrator with respect to compensation earned for a Plan Year does

not confer upon the Eligible Employee the right to participate in the Plan with respect to compensation earned during a future Plan Year.  The Plan Administrator may require an Eligible Employee to comply with such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may specify in order for the Eligible Employee to participate in the Plan.
(b)    Participants.  Subject to Section 3(a) above, each Eligible Employee who makes an election to defer compensation under Section 4 hereof shall become a Participant in the Plan, and shall remain a Participant until receiving the distribution of the Participant’s entire Account balance in accordance with Section 6 hereof.  All Eligible Employees shall be eligible to defer their Annual Bonus under the Plan.  Only SEC Executive Officers for the applicable plan year shall be eligible to defer their Base Salary under the Plan.
		
	Section 4.
	Elections to Participate

(a)    Deferral Elections.  An Eligible Employee designated by the Plan Administrator to be a Participant in the Plan may file an Election Form with the Plan Administrator on or before the date specified in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof.  The Election Form shall permit the Participant to specify the Deferral Amount subject to a minimum Deferral Amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for the deferral of each of Base Salary and Annual Bonus, as applicable, or such amounts as may be specified by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.  The Election Form shall also set forth the terms of distribution of the Participant’s Account in accordance with Section 6 hereof and the Participant’s Beneficiary designation.  All elections to defer compensation under the Plan are irrevocable, and no changes to any Election Form delivered to the Plan Administrator shall be permitted, except as specifically provided under the terms of the Plan.
(b)    Maximum Deferrals.  An Eligible Employee may elect a Deferral Amount of up to 100% of the Eligible Employee’s Annual Bonus for a Plan Year.  An SEC Executive Officer shall also be permitted to elect a Deferral Amount of up to 100% of the SEC Executive Officer’s Base Salary for a Plan Year; provided that the Plan Administrator shall have the right to limit the Deferral Amount with respect to the Participant’s Annual Bonus or Base Salary, if applicable, of an SEC Executive Officer to ensure that the Company has sufficient funds to cover all applicable taxes and other necessary and appropriate deductions.
(c)    Timing and Effect of Elections.  Unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, deferral elections on an Election Form shall be made:
(i)    In the case of Base Salary and any Annual Bonus not qualifying as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, prior to the beginning of the Plan Year with respect to which the Base Salary and/or Annual Bonus is earned; and
(ii)    In the case of Annual Bonus that the Plan Administrator determines is  “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, no 

4

later than June 30th of the applicable Plan Year with respect to which the Annual Bonus is earned.
Deferral elections shall apply to Base Salary and Annual Bonus compensation for the Plan Year for which they are made.  Participants will be required to make deferral elections for future Plan Years at such times to be specified by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the foregoing.  If a Participant does not file an Election Form with the Plan Administrator on or before the deadline established by the Plan Administrator for deferral elections for a Plan Year, a Participant will be deemed not to have elected to defer Base Salary or Annual Bonus compensation for such Plan Year, as applicable.  A Participant’s election to defer Base Salary or Annual Bonus compensation with respect to a Plan Year shall not be affected by the Participant ceasing to be treated as an SEC Executive Officer or Eligible Employee following the time that such election is made.  
		
	Section 5.
	Accounts and Interest Credits

(a)    Participant Accounts.  An Account shall be maintained for each Participant under the Plan.  A Participant’s Account shall consist of book entries only and shall not constitute a separate cash fund or other asset held in trust or as security for the Company’s obligation to pay the amount of the Account to the Participant.  The balance of a Participant’s Account shall be the sum of Deferral Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account, adjusted for interest credits and reduced by the amount of applicable tax withholding, distributions and expenses.  A Participant’s Account may include sub-accounts as the Company considers necessary or advisable for purposes of maintaining a proper accounting of amounts credited or debited for a Participant under the Plan.  A Participant shall receive or have on-line access to a statement of such Participant’s Account no less frequently than once a year following the end of each Plan Year.
(b)    Crediting of Deferral Amount.  A Participant who has filed an Election Form with the Plan Administrator for the deferral of Base Salary and/or Annual Bonus compensation with respect to a Plan Year shall have the Deferral Amount deducted from the applicable compensation and credited to the Participant’s Account under the Plan at the same time as the compensation would otherwise be paid to the Participant.  The Deferral Amount so credited shall be reduced by applicable withholding, distributions and expenses.
(c)    Interest Credits.  The Accounts of Participants shall be credited with interest computed each Plan Year or portion thereof at a rate equal to 120% of the long-term applicable federal rate, with monthly compounding (as prescribed under section 1274(d) of the Code), as in effect for the month of December for the immediately preceding Plan Year.  Such interest shall accrue on all Deferral Amounts and prior earnings thereon and be credited daily to a Participant’s Account.
(d)    Vesting of Accounts.  All Deferral Amounts and interest credits thereon under a Participant’s Account shall be fully vested at all times.
		
	Section 6.
	Distribution of Accounts

5

(a)    Distribution upon Separation from Service.  A Participant shall specify on an Election Form the manner in which the Participant’s deferred Base Salary and Annual Bonus compensation as applicable for a Plan Year (and earnings thereon) shall be distributed from the Participant’s Account under the Plan upon the Participant’s Separation from Service.  Any election by the Participant as to the distribution of such portion of the Account shall be irrevocable.  A Participant may elect, to the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator and set forth on the Election Form, that such portion of the Account be distributed upon a Participant’s Separation from Service either in:
(iii)    Lump Sum payment in January of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs; or
(iv)    Annual Installment payments over a period of two (2) to ten (10) years commencing in January of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs, with subsequent installment payments to be made in each January within the applicable period.  
If a Participant fails to make a timely payment election on the Election Form for a Plan Year, the Participant's Deferral Amount for such Plan Year (and earnings thereon) shall be distributed in a lump sum in accordance with Section 6(a)(i) hereof.
(b)    Distribution of Account.  The Company shall distribute amounts from the  Participant’s Account in the manner specified in this Section 6.  If the payment option described in Section 6(a)(i) hereof is applicable, the amount of the lump sum shall be calculated using the valuation of the applicable portion of the Participant’s Account as of the December 31 preceding the date of the payment.  If the payment option described in Section 6(a)(ii) hereof is applicable, the amount of each installment shall be calculated using the valuation of the applicable portion of the Participant’s Account as of the December 31 preceding the date of the installment payment divided by the number of installment payments that have not yet been made.  
(c)    Distribution upon Death.  Notwithstanding any election made by a Participant or any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, if a Participant dies before full distribution of his Account balance, any remaining balance shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum within 90 days following the date of the Participant's death.  The amount of such lump sum distribution shall be calculated using the valuation of the Participant's Account as of the date preceding the date of distribution.  Any payment required to be made to a Participant under the Plan that cannot be made due to the Participant’s death shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary, subject to applicable law.  Each Participant shall have the right to designate one or more Beneficiaries, and to change a Beneficiary designation, from time to time by filing a written notice with the Plan Administrator.  In the event that a Beneficiary does not survive the Participant and no successor Beneficiary is selected, or in the event no valid Beneficiary designation has been made, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate.

6

(d)    Unforeseeable Emergency.  Upon the written request of a Participant, the Plan Administrator may permit the Participant to withdraw some or all of the Participant’s Account for the purpose of enabling the Participant to meet the immediate needs created by an Unforeseeable Emergency.  The circumstances that will constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but in any case, the amounts distributed with respect to an Unforeseeable Emergency shall not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such Unforeseeable Emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent that the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan.
(e)    Withholding Taxes.  All distributions of a Participant’s Account under the Plan shall be subject to income tax and other withholdings that the Plan Administrator deems necessary or appropriate, and the Plan Administrator may reduce the amount credited to any Participant’s Account to the extent it deems necessary to satisfy tax withholding requirements.  Participants or Beneficiaries receiving distributions under the Plan shall bear all taxes on amounts paid under the Plan to the extent that taxes are not withheld thereon, irrespective of whether withholding is required.
		
	Section 7.
	Administrative Matters 

(a)    Claims Process.   
To be effective under this procedure, a claim for benefits by a Participant or Beneficiary must be made to the Plan Administrator or its designee in writing, unless the Plan Administrator or its designee waives such writing requirement.

If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator or its designee shall furnish such claimant with written notice of the denial within 90 days after the original claim was filed, unless special circumstances require a longer period (not exceeding an additional 90 days) for adjudication and the claimant is notified in writing of such extension prior to the expiration of the initial 90-day period.  A notice of denial shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (1) the reasons for denial,  (2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information needed to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such information is necessary, and (4) an explanation of the Plan’s claims procedure.

The claimant shall have 90 days from receipt of the denial notice in which to make written application for review by the Plan Administrator or its designee.  The claimant shall have the right (1) to receive upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits, and (2) to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim.

7

The Plan Administrator or its designee shall issue a decision within 60 days after receipt of an application for review, unless special circumstances require an extension.  In no event will the decision be delayed beyond 120 days after receipt of the application for review.

A claimant for benefits whose application for review is totally or partially denied may make a final appeal to the Plan Administrator or designee within 90 days from receipt of the second denial notice.  The final request for review must be in writing.  The same rights detailed in (iii) above will apply for this appeal.

The Plan Administrator shall issue a decision on the final appeal within 60 days after the receipt of an final appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension.  In no event will the decision be delayed beyond 120 days after receipt of the final appeal.

The Plan Administrator may establish such additional rules and procedures for processing claims as it deems advisable.  All interpretations, determinations, and decisions of the Plan Administrator or its designee under this claims procedure shall be final and conclusive.
 
(b)    Incapacity.  If the Plan Administrator determines that any person entitled to benefits under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness, accident or other physical and mental incapacity, any payment due (unless a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative has been appointed) may be paid consistent with the terms described herein for the benefit of such person to such person’s spouse, parent, brother, sister, adult child or other party deemed by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion to ensure proper care for such person.
(c)    Inability to Locate.  If the Plan Administrator is unable to locate a person to whom a payment is due under the Plan for a period of twelve (12) months, commencing with the first day of the month as of which the payment becomes payable, the total amount payable to such person shall be forfeited.
		
	Section 8.
	Unfunded Status

All Accounts and all rights of Participants to benefits under the Plan are unfunded obligations of the Company.  Plan benefits shall be paid from the general assets of the Company, and Participants shall have the status of an unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to all interests under the Plan.  The Plan is a plan of unfunded deferred compensation for purposes of ERISA.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, but shall not be required to, establish a trust or other funding vehicle under the Plan that does not affect the Plan’s status as a Plan of unfunded deferred compensation under ERISA.
		
	Section 9.
	Nontransferability; Successors

No interest of any person in, or right to receive a distribution under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind; nor may such interest or right to receive a distribution be 

8

taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily for the satisfaction of the debts of, or other obligations or claims against, such person.  
The obligations of the Company under the Plan will be binding upon the Company’s successors, transferees and assigns.
		
	Section 10.
	Limitation of Rights

Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue to be employed by the Company or to serve in the capacity in which the Participant is employed by the Company.  Nothing in the Plan shall be interpreted as creating a right of a Participant to receive  any amount of Base Salary, Annual Bonus or other compensation or benefit from the Company.
		
	Section 11.
	Enforceability

The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with ERISA, and to the extent not preempted thereby, the laws of the State of Indiana, regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles or provisions of choice or conflict of law doctrines.  To the extent that any provision of the Plan or portion thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted herefrom and the remainder of such provision and the Plan shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect.
		
	Section 12.
	Effective Date; Amendment and Termination

The Plan, as amended and restated, shall become effective for the 2009 Plan Year  and for future Plan Years until terminated by the Board.  The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and in any manner; provided that no amendment or termination shall reduce the amount credited to a Participant’s Account at the time of any such amendment or termination, and no amendment shall be effective that shall cause the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Section 409A.  Upon termination of the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, (i) all future deferrals of compensation will cease, (ii) all Plan Accounts will continue to receive interest credits (or be invested) as permitted under the Plan, and (iii) all Plan Accounts will be distributed in accordance with the Participant’s elections under the provisions of the Plan, unless the Company determines in its sole discretion that all such amounts shall be distributed upon termination in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.

A Participant may designate the Beneficiary, in writing, in a form acceptable to the Committee, and filed with the Committee before the Participant’s death.

If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, any amount not distributed to the Participant during the

For purposes of this rule, "unforeseeable emergency" means severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent of the Participant, loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant.

	3.4
	Adjustments for Significant Events.  Not later than 90 days after the beginning of an Applicable Year, the Committee may specify with respect to Company Bonuses for the Applicable Year that the performance measures described in Section 5.2 will be determined before the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings or special charges or gains, changes in corporate capitalization, accounting changes, and/or events that are treated as extraordinary items for accounting purposes.

		
	3.5
	Finality of Committee Determinations.  Any determination by the Committee of Revenue, Revenue Change, EPS, EPS Change, Pipeline Metrics, any other performance measure, Performance Benchmarks and the level and entitlement to Company Bonus, and any interpretation, rule, or decision adopted by the Committee under the Plan or in carrying out or administering the Plan, will be final and binding for all purposes and upon all interested persons, their heirs, and personal representatives.

- 8 -

SECTION 5.  DEFINITION AND COMPUTATION OF COMPANY BONUS

		
	5.1
	Computation for Eligible Employees.  Company Bonus amounts will depend significantly on Company performance as well as whether Participants met their job expectations for certain Eligible Employees.  As more specifically described below, a Participant’s Company Bonus is calculated by multiplying the Participant’s Bonus Target by his Participant Earnings and the Company Performance Bonus Multiple.  For eligible management and Lilly employees and those Participants designated by the Committee, whether an individual met their job expectations will also impact the Company Bonus calculation, as described in Section 5.6(c) below.  Company Bonuses are paid out to eligible Participants in the manner provided below.

		
	5.2
	Establishment of Performance Measures.  Not later than 90 days after the beginning of each Applicable Year, the Committee will, in its sole discretion, determine appropriate performance measures for use in calculating Company Bonus amounts.  These performance measures may include, but are not limited to, Revenue Change, EPS Change, growth in net income, return on assets, return on equity, Pipeline Metrics, total shareholder return, EVA, MVA or any of the foregoing before the effect of acquisitions, divestitures, accounting changes, restructurings and special charges or gains.  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to a written resolution adopted by the Committee for the Applicable Year, the Committee will use as performance measures EPS Change, Revenue Change and Pipeline Metrics, in each case before the effect of acquisitions, divestitures, accounting changes, restructurings and special charges or gains (determined as described above) as performance measures.

		
	5.3
	Establishment of Performance Benchmarks.  Not later than 90 days after the beginning of each Applicable Year, the Committee will establish Performance Benchmarks for the Company based on the performance measures described in Section 5.2 above.  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to a written resolution adopted by the Committee for the Applicable Year, the Performance Benchmarks will correspond with EPS Change and Revenue Change amounts for the Applicable Year, established with reference to Lilly’s internal business plan as reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and Pipeline Metrics as approved by the Committee in consultation with the Science and Technology Committee.  The Performance Benchmarks will correspond to EPS Change, Revenue Change and Pipeline Metric multiples equal to 1.0.  The Committee will also adopt a formula that will determine the extent to which the performance measure multiples will vary as the Company’s actual results relative to the internal plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company vary from the Performance Benchmarks.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each performance measure multiple established above will be no less than 0.0 or greater than 2.0 in any Applicable Year, regardless of the Company’s actual results.

		
	5.4
	Company Performance Bonus Multiple.  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to a written resolution adopted by the Committee not later than 90 days after the beginning of the Applicable Year, the Company Performance Bonus Multiple is equal to the product of the EPS Change multiple and 0.50 plus the product of the Revenue Change multiple and 0.25 

- 9 -

plus the product of the Pipeline Metrics multiple and 0.25 (i.e., Company Performance Bonus Multiple = (EPS Change multiple * 0.50) + (Revenue Change multiple * 0.25) + (Pipeline Metrics multiple * 0.25)).

		
	5.5
	Company Performance Bonus Multiple Threshold and Ceiling; Committee’s Downward Discretion.  Notwithstanding Sections 5.3 and 5.4, the Company Performance Bonus Multiple will not be less than 0.25 or greater than 2.0 in an Applicable Year.  If the calculations described in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 above result in a number that is less than 0.25, the Company Performance Bonus Multiple will equal 0.25 for the Applicable Year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5, at any time prior to certification as described in Section 3.3, the Committee in its discretion may 

		
	a.
	reduce the Company Performance Bonus Multiple (including but not limited to a reduction below 0.25) for some or all Eligible Employees, or

		
	b.
	increase one or more Performance Benchmarks.

		
	5.6
	Participant Company Bonus.  

		
	a.
	Bonus Target.  Not later than 90 days after the beginning of the Applicable Year, the Bonus Target for each Participant, whether such Participant is designated on an individual basis or by specified job categories, classifications, levels, subsidiaries or other appropriate classification, will be determined by the Committee on a basis that takes into consideration a Participant's pay grade level and job responsibilities.  The Bonus Target for each Participant for the Applicable Year will be expressed as a percentage of Participant Earnings as of December 31 of the Applicable Year.  No later than early in the Applicable Year, each Participant will receive information regarding the Participant’s Bonus Target.  In the event that a Participant’s pay grade level changes during the Applicable Year (e.g., because of promotion, demotion or otherwise), the Participant’s Bonus Target will be prorated based on the Bonus Target applicable to each pay grade level (with related job responsibilities) and the percentage of time that the Participant is employed at each pay grade level during the Applicable Year.

		
	b.
	Company Bonus Calculation.  Except as described in Section 5.6(c) below, a Participant’s Company Bonus will equal the product of the Company Performance Bonus Multiple and the Participant’s Bonus Target and the Participant’s Earnings.  

		
	c.
	Adjustment for Individual Performance Multiplier, if Applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all eligible management employees (except Lilly Executive Officers), United States employees and other employees as may be designated from time to time by the Committee are subject to individual performance multipliers.  For all such Participants subject to an individual performance multiplier, the amount calculated in Section 5.6(b) above will be adjusted based on whether the Participant met job expectationsas determined by the Company at the end of the Applicable Year.  If a Participant does not meet such job 

- 10 -

expectations, the Participant will receive an individual performance multiplier equal to either 0.0 or 0.5, as determined by the Company.  In that event, the individual performance multiplier will be multiplied by the amount described in Section 5.6(b) above to calculate the Participant’s Company Bonus.  If a Participant meets job expectations, the Participant’s Company Bonus will equal the amount calculated in Section 5.6(b) above.  In addition, if a Participant meets job expectations, the Company may increase the Participant’s Company Bonus by an additional amount based on its determination of the Participant’s individual performance and related factors.  Not later than 90 days after the beginning of the Applicable Year, the Committee will determine applicable multipliers for meeting job expectations or ranges for the applicable rating system in effect for the Participant.  For each such Participant, such rating will be determined by the Participant’s supervision.

In the event that a Participant does not receive a year-end performance rating, but is otherwise eligible for a Company Bonus, the amount calculated in Section 5.6(b) will be multiplied by 1.0 so that the Participant’s actual Company Bonus will be the amount calculated in Section 5.6(b) above.

		
	5.7
	Conditions on Company Bonus.  Payment of any Company Bonus is neither guaranteed nor automatic.  A Participant’s Company Bonus is not considered to be any form of compensation, wages, or benefits, unless and until paid. 

		
	5.8
	Special Limitations and Conditions Applicable to Lilly Executive Officers.  Any Company Bonus to a Lilly Executive Officer shall be subject to the terms of the Executive Officer Incentive Plan.  As a result, no Company Bonus shall be paid to a Lilly Executive Officer, unless the Executive Incentive Bonus Plan is approved by Lilly shareholders at their annual meeting in April, 2011, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Code Section 162(m), and the amount of any Company Bonus to a Lilly Executive Officer for an Applicable Year shall under no circumstances exceed the amount payable for such Applicable Year pursuant to the Executive Officer Incentive Plan.

		
	5.9
	Required Employment.  Except as provided below in this Section 5.9, required by applicable law or as otherwise designated by the Committee, if a Participant is not employed by the Company on the last day of the Applicable Year, or is otherwise not an Eligible Employee on that date, the Participant is not entitled to any Company Bonus payment under this Plan for that Applicable Year.

	Leaves of Absence.  A Participant who, on the last day of the Applicable Year, is on approved leave of absence under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, military leave under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, or such other approved leave of absence will be considered to be an Eligible Employee on that date for purposes of this Plan.

Company on the last day of the Applicable Year, will be treated as satisfying the last-day-of-Applicable Year requirement for purposes of this Plan.  In that event, his Company Bonus will be based on his Participant Earnings for the portion of the Applicable Year in which the employee was a Participant in the Plan.

		
	c.
	Retirement, Disability or Death.  Except as described below, a Participant who was an Eligible Employee for some portion of the Applicable Year and then takes Retirement, becomes and remains Disabled through the end of the Applicable Year, or dies during the Applicable Year will be considered to satisfy the last-day-of-Applicable-Year requirement described in this Section 5.9 for purposes of this Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Employee in the United States who has not received a year-end performance rating and (1) is on employment probation (or its equivalent outside the United States) and takes Retirement in lieu of a termination of employment; or (2) takes Retirement in lieu of termination of employment because of an immediately terminable offense (e.g. absence of three days without notice, insubordination, violation of drug policy, possession of firearms, misconduct) will not be considered to satisfy the last day of Applicable Year requirement.

		
	d.
	Reallocation, Medical Reassignment, Plant Closing or Reduction in Workforce.  A Participant who was an Eligible Employee for some portion of the Applicable Year and whose employment is terminated as a result of his failure to locate a position following his reallocation or medical reassignment in the United States, or a Plant Closing or Reduction in Workforce will be considered to satisfy the last-day-of-Applicable Year requirement described in this Section 5.9 for purposes of this Plan.  The Committee or its designee’s determination regarding whether a Participant’s termination is a direct result of either a Plant Closing or a Reduction in Workforce will be final and binding.

		
	e.
	Expiration of Contract:  A Participant who was an Eligible Employee for some portion of the Applicable Year and is subject to an agreement that describes a specific end date of employment and whose employment ends as a direct result of the expiration (not termination) of the agreement prior to the end of the Applicable Year will be considered to satisfy the last-day-of-Applicable Year requirement described in this Section 5.9 for purposes of this Plan.  The Committee or its designee’s determination regarding whether a Participant’s end of employment is a direct result of the expiration of the individual’s agreement will be final and binding.   

		
	f.
	Notice of Resignation.  In addition, a Participant who submits a notice of resignation from employment with the Company prior to the end of the Applicable Year and whose effective date of resignation is two (2) weeks or less from the date of notice of resignation (or as otherwise required by law) will be considered employed by the Company for purposes of this Plan until the end of his specified notice period.

	General Rule.  Payment under the Plan will be made in the year following the Applicable Year on or prior to March 15 of such year.

		
	6.2

	6.3
	Deceased Eligible Employee.  In the event an Eligible Employee dies before payment under the Plan is made, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, authorize the Company to pay to his personal representative or beneficiary an amount not to exceed the amount established by the Committee to reflect the payment accrued at the date of death.  Any such payment would be paid consistent with the timing requirements described in subsection 6.1 above.

SECTION 7.  ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES

		
	7.1
	Establishment and Amendment by the Committee.  The Committee may establish objective and nondiscriminatory written guidelines for administering those provisions of the Plan that expressly provide for the determination of eligibility, Company Bonus or benefits on the basis of rules established by the Committee.  The Committee may, from time to time, amend or supplement the administrative guidelines established in accordance with this subsection 7.1.  The administrative guidelines established or amended in accordance with this subsection 7.1 will not be effective to the extent that they materially increase the Plan's liability, or to the extent that they are inconsistent with, or purport to amend, any provision of the Plan set forth in a document other than such administrative guidelines.

		
	7.2.
	Amendment by Board of Directors.  Any administrative guidelines established by the Committee pursuant to subsection 7.1 may be amended or revoked by the Board of Directors, either prospectively or retroactively, in accordance with the general amendment procedures set forth in section 9 below.

	8.1
	No Vested Right.  No employee, participant, beneficiary, or other individual will have a vested right to a Company Bonus or any part thereof until payment is made to him under Section 6.

- 13 -

		
	8.2
	No Employment Rights.  No provision of the Plan or any action taken by the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, or the Committee will give any person any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.  The right and power of the Company to dismiss or discharge any Participant for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, is specifically reserved.

		
	8.3
	No Adjustments.  After the certification of the calculation of EPS, EPS Change, Revenue, Revenue Change, Pipeline Metrics and any other material terms of the calculation of the Company Performance Bonus Multiple and Company Bonus for the Applicable Year as described in Section 3.3 above, no adjustments will be made to reflect any subsequent change in accounting, the effect of federal, state, or municipal taxes later assessed or determined, or otherwise.  

		
	8.4
	Executive Compensation Recovery Policy.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, including Section 8.3, all payments made or to be made pursuant to the Plan are subject to the Company's Executive Compensation Recovery Policy, as in effect from time to time.  In addition, nothing herein shall limit the Company’s power to take such action as it deems necessary to remedy any misconduct, prevent its recurrence and, if appropriate, based on all relevant facts and circumstances, punish the wrongdoer in a manner that it deems appropriate.  

		
	8.5
	Other Representations.  Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any employee, participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other person.  Although Participants generally have no right to any payment from this Plan, to the extent that any Participant acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right will be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.  All payments to be made hereunder will be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund will be established, and no segregation of assets will be made, to assure payment of such amount.

		
	8.6
	Tax Withholding.  The Company will make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all federal, state, local, and other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to Company Bonus payments under the Plan, including, but not limited to, deducting the amount required to be withheld from the amount of cash otherwise payable under the Plan, or from salary or any other amount then or thereafter payable to an employee, Participant, beneficiary, or legal representative.

		
	8.7
	Currency.  The Company Bonus will be based on the currency in which the highest portion of base pay is regularly paid.  The Committee will determine the appropriate foreign exchange conversion methodology in its discretion.

	8.8
	Effect of Plan on other Company plans.  Nothing contained in this Plan is intended to amend, modify, terminate, or rescind other benefit or compensation plans established or maintained by the Company.  Whether and to what extent a Participant’s Company Bonus is taken into account under any other plan will be determined solely in accordance with the terms of such plan.

		
	8.9
	Construction.  This Plan and all the rights thereunder will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Indiana, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

		
	8.10
