                   KEY EMPLOYEE TREASURY STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                                    ARTICLE 1
                                     GENERAL

1.1    PURPOSE

Whirlpool Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), hereby adopts
this Key Employee Treasury Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the
Plan is to foster and promote the long-term financial success of the Corporation
by attracting and retaining outstanding employees by enabling them to
participate in the Corporation's growth by providing for discretionary awards of
stock-based forms of compensation to be paid in common stock, $1.00 par value
per share ("Common Stock"), from the Corporation's treasury.

1.2    ADMINISTRATION

The Plan shall be administered by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Committee").

1.3    PARTICIPATION

Awards under the Plan shall only be granted to officers and other key employees
of the Corporation. When selecting participants to receive Awards and the form
and amount of Awards, the Committee may consider the employee's job function and
responsibilities; the employee's past, present, and potential future
contributions to the Corporation; and other factors deemed relevant by the
Committee. Grants may be made to the same individual on more than one occasion.

1.4    SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

All Awards granted under the Plan shall be paid in treasury shares of the
Corporation's Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
may be awarded for all purposes under the Plan shall be 200,000 (subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 3.1).

1.5    GENDER AND NUMBER

Except when otherwise indicated by the context, words in the masculine gender
when used in the Plan shall include the feminine gender, the singular shall
include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.

                                  ARTICLE II
                            AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN

2.1      TYPES OF AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN

Awards under the Plan may be in the form of any one or more of the following:
Non-qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units,
Performance Shares, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Equivalents, Unrestricted
Stock Grants, as well as grants of any other stock-based form of compensation
within the discretion of the Committee (collectively, the "Awards"). All Awards
granted under the Plan shall be paid in treasury shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock.

2.2      TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS

The Committee will establish the terms and conditions of each Award as it deems
appropriate at the time of each grant.

                                   ARTICLE III
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

3.1      ADJUSTMENT UPON CERTAIN CHANGES

In the event of a stock dividend or stock split, or combination or other
reduction in the number of issued shares of Common Stock, a merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, sale or exchange of
substantially all assets, or dissolution of the Corporation, the Board of
Directors shall, in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights under
this Plan, make such adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common
Stock authorized by the Plan. In the event fractional shares of Common Stock
would otherwise result from any such adjustment, the number of shares of Common
Stock so authorized and covered and the prices thereof shall be further adjusted
so as to eliminate such fractions.

3.2      AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof
at any time and may amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board of
Directors may deem advisable in order that any Awards thereunder shall conform
to or otherwise reflect any change in applicable laws or regulations, or to
permit the Corporation or the Directors to enjoy the benefits of any change in
applicable laws or regulations, or in any other respect the Board of Directors
may deem to be in the best interests of the Corporation. No such amendment,
suspension, or termination shall impair rights under any outstanding Awards
without the consent of the individual affected thereby.

<PAGE>

3.3     LISTING, REGISTRATION AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Each award of Common Stock shall be subject to the requirement that if at any
time counsel to the Corporation shall determine that the listing, registration,
or qualification thereof or of any shares of Common Stock or other property
subject thereto upon any securities exchange or under any foreign, federal, or
state securities or other law or regulation, or the consent or approval of any
governmental body or the taking of any other action to comply with or otherwise
with respect to any such law or regulation, is necessary or desirable as a
condition to or in connection with the award of such Common Stock or other
property thereunder, no such award may be paid in Common Stock unless such
listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval, or other action shall
have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the
Corporation. The Corporation may at any time impose any limitations upon the
terms of any award under this Plan that, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors, are necessary or desirable in order to cause the Plan or any other
plan of the Corporation to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

3.4     RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS

Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the
Corporation to terminate any employee's employment at any time, nor confer upon
any employee any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or a
Subsidiary for any period of time or to continue the employee's present or any
other rate of compensation. No employee shall have a right to be selected to
receive Awards under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected
again.

3.5     REQUIREMENTS OF LAW; GOVERNING LAW

The issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or
national securities exchanges as may be required. The Plan shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The
provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted so as to comply with the conditions
or requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, unless applicable law
otherwise requires a contrary interpretation of any such provision.

3.6     TERM OF PLAN

Awards shall be made hereunder until this Plan is terminated by action of the
Corporation's Board of Directors.
