DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
The following description of the common stock of Cummins Inc. (the “Company”) summarizes general terms and provisions that apply to the Company’s common stock. The summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws (as amended and restated), which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
General
The Company is authorized to issue up to 500 million shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share. Subject to the limitations described below and the prior rights of the Company’s preferred stock and preference stock, the Company’s common stock is entitled to dividends when and as declared by the Company’s board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share. There is no provision for cumulative voting or preemptive rights. The holders of the Company’s preferred stock and the holders of the Company’s preference stock are each entitled to elect two directors to the Company’s board of directors upon default in the payment of six quarterly dividends on any series of such class and have voting rights with respect to amendments of the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation affecting certain of their rights and in the case of certain mergers, consolidations and dispositions of substantially all of the Company’s assets. Upon any liquidation, voluntary or involuntary, of the Company, holders of common stock are (to the exclusion of any holders of preferred stock and preference stock) entitled ratably to all of the Company’s assets after payment of its liabilities and satisfaction of the liquidation preferences of the preferred stock and the preference stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The transfer agent and registrar for the Company’s common stock is EQ Shareowner Services, Mendota Heights, Minnesota.
Dividends
The holders of common stock shall be entitled to share ratably in dividends or other distributions as are declared from time to time on the shares of the common stock at the discretion of the board of directors. No dividends or distributions may be declared or paid or made on, or acquisitions made of, any common stock unless dividends on all outstanding preferred stock and preference stock for all past quarterly dividend periods have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment set apart.
Certain Provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law
As an Indiana corporation, the Company is governed by the Indiana Business Corporation Law, or the IBCL. Under specified circumstances, the following provisions of the IBCL may delay, prevent or make more difficult certain unsolicited acquisitions or changes of control of the Company. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the Company’s management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which shareholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interest.
Special Meetings by the Shareholders. Under Chapter 29 of the IBCL, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of common stock may be effected only at an annual meeting or special meeting (which special meeting shall be called by the Company upon written request by shareholders holding not less than 10% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock) of such holders, and shareholders may act in lieu of such meetings only by unanimous written consent. 
Control Share Acquisitions. Under Chapter 42 of the IBCL, an acquiring person or group who makes a “control share acquisition” in an “issuing public corporation” may not exercise voting rights on any “control shares” unless these voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the disinterested shareholders of the issuing public corporation at a special meeting of those shareholders held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. If control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of all voting power, all shareholders of the issuing public corporation have dissenters’ rights to receive the fair value of their shares pursuant to Chapter 44 of the IBCL.
Under the IBCL, “control shares” means shares acquired by a person that, when added to all other shares of the issuing public corporation owned by that person or in respect to which that person may exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would otherwise entitle that person to exercise voting power of the issuing public corporation in the election of directors within any of the following ranges:

•one-fifth or more but less than one-third;
•one-third or more but less than a majority; or
•a majority or more.
“Control share acquisition” means, subject to specified exceptions, the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person of ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding control shares. For the purposes of determining whether an acquisition constitutes a control share acquisition, shares acquired within 90 days or under a plan to make a control share acquisition are considered to have been acquired in the same acquisition. “Issuing public corporation” means a corporation which has (i) 100 or more shareholders, (ii) its principal place of business or its principal office in Indiana, or that owns or controls assets within Indiana having a fair market value of greater than $1,000,000, and (iii) (A) more than 10% of its shareholders resident in Indiana, (B) more than 10% of its shares owned of record or owned beneficially by Indiana residents, or (C) 1,000 shareholders resident in Indiana.
The above provisions do not apply if, before a control share acquisition is made, the corporation’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, including a by-law adopted by the corporation’s board of directors, provide that they do not apply. The Company’s By-laws provide that the Company is not subject to the Control Share Act. However, the Company’s By-laws may be amended by the Company’s board of directors without a shareholder vote.
Certain Business Combinations. Chapter 43 of the IBCL restricts the ability of a “resident domestic corporation” to engage in any combinations with an “interested shareholder” for five years after the date the interested shareholder became such, unless the combination or the purchase of shares by the interested shareholder on the interested shareholder’s date of acquiring shares is approved by the board of directors of the resident domestic corporation before that date. If the combination was not previously approved, the interested shareholder may effect a combination after the five-year period only if that shareholder receives approval from a majority of the disinterested shareholders or the offer meets specified fair price criteria. For purposes of the above provisions, “resident domestic corporation” means an Indiana corporation that has 100 or more shareholders. “Interested shareholder” means any person, other than the resident domestic corporation or its subsidiaries, who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the resident domestic corporation or (2) an affiliate or associate of the resident domestic corporation, which at any time within the five-year period immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the resident domestic corporation.
The definition of “beneficial owner” for purposes of Chapter 43, means a person who, directly or indirectly, has the right to acquire or vote the subject shares (excluding voting rights under revocable proxies made in accordance with federal law), has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding or voting or disposing of the subject shares, or holds any “derivative instrument” that includes the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase in the value of the subject shares.
The above provisions do not apply to corporations that elect not to be subject to Chapter 43 in an amendment to their articles of incorporation approved by a majority of the disinterested shareholders. That amendment, however, cannot become effective until 18 months after its passage and would apply only to share acquisitions occurring after its effective date. The Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation do not exclude it from Chapter 43.
The overall effect of the above provisions may be to render more difficult or to discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, the assumption of control of the Company by a holder of a large block of the Company’s stock or other person, or the removal of incumbent management, even if such actions may be beneficial to the Company’s shareholders generally.
Directors’ Duties and Liability. Under Chapter 35 of the IBCL, directors are required to discharge their duties:
•in good faith;
•with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances; and
•in a manner the directors reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the corporation.
However, the IBCL also provides that a director is not liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to act, regardless of the nature of the alleged breach of duty (including breaches of the duty of care, the duty of loyalty, and the duty of good faith) unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of the director’s office and the action or failure to act constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness.

This exoneration from liability under the IBCL does not affect the liability of directors for violations of the federal securities laws. Chapter 35 of the IBCL also provides that a board of directors, in discharging its duties, may consider, in its discretion, both the long-term and short-term best interests of the corporation, taking into account, and weighing as the directors deem appropriate, the effects of an action on the corporation’s shareholders, employees, suppliers and customers and the communities in which offices or other facilities of the corporation are located and any other factors the directors consider pertinent. Directors are not required to consider the effects of a proposed corporate action on any particular corporate constituent group or interest as a dominant or controlling factor. If a determination is made with the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors of the board, that determination is conclusively presumed to be valid unless it can be demonstrated that the determination was not made in good faith after reasonable investigation. Chapter 35 specifically provides that specified judicial decisions in Delaware and other jurisdictions, which might be looked upon for guidance in interpreting Indiana law, including decisions that propose a higher or different degree of scrutiny in response to a proposed acquisition of the corporation, are inconsistent with the proper application of the business judgment rule under that section.
Mandatory Classified Board of Directors. Under Chapter 33 of the IBCL, a corporation with a class of voting shares registered with the SEC under Section 12 of the Exchange Act must have a classified board of directors unless the corporation adopts a by-law expressly electing not to be governed by this provision by the later of July 31, 2009 or 30 days after the corporation’s voting shares are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Company’s By-Laws (as amended and restated) include a provision whereby the Company elected to not be subject to this mandatory requirement; however, the IBCL permits this election to be rescinded by subsequent action of the Company’s board of directors.Exhibit

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 1.01.    Restatement. Cummins Inc. ("Cummins") established the Cummins Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("Plan"), effective November 1, 1998.

Section 1.02.    Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to allow eligible employees of Cummins and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Employer") to purchase shares of Cummins common stock and receive a matching employer contribution.  The Plan is not intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

ACCOUNTS, CONTRIBUTIONS, AND PURCHASES

Section 4.01.    Accounts. The Administrator shall establish an Account for each Participant as that Participant's agent. 

Section 4.02.    Payroll Deduction Contributions. As a condition of participation, an Eligible Employee must elect on an Applicable Form to have a percentage of his Base Pay withheld from his cash compensation to be used for the purchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan. The minimum payroll deduction contribution shall be 1% of Base Pay, and the maximum contribution 15% of Base Pay; provided, however, Cummins may, in its sole discretion, change the minimum and/or maximum contribution amount at any time. A Participant may change his elected payroll deduction contributions at any time by submitting a request to his Employer or the Administrator, as directed, in which case his new election will become effective as soon as administratively feasible after it is received. The Employer shall forward amounts to be used to purchase Plan Shares to the Administrator prior to the time of such purchase. 

Section 4.03.    Employer Contributions. The Employer shall forward the required Employer Contributions allocated for each Participant on account of his payroll deduction contributions to the Administrator prior to the time of purchase of the Plan Shares.

In addition, unless otherwise elected by the Participant, cash dividends on Plan Shares allocated to his Account shall be credited to his Account at the time such dividends are paid. Any stock dividends or shares received as a result of a stock split on any Plan Shares credited to a Participant's Account shall be credited to the Participant's Account when received by the Administrator.
 
Section 4.05.    Application of Cash. All payroll deductions received or held by the Employer under the Plan may be used by the Employer for any corporate purpose, and the Employer is not obligated to segregate such payroll deductions or contributions. Until Plan Shares are issued, Participants will only have the rights of an unsecured creditor. 

ARTICLE V

PURCHASE AND SALE OF PLAN SHARES 

Section 5.01.    Purchase of Plan Shares. The Administrator shall purchase Plan Shares in negotiated transactions or on any securities exchange or other securities trading facility on which Common Stock is traded. The purchases shall be on terms as to price, delivery, and other matters, and shall be executed through those brokers or dealers, as the Administrator may determine. Under certain circumstances, observance of the rules and regulations of the Commission or applicable securities exchange or other securities trading facility may require temporary suspension of purchases by the Administrator or may require that a purchase be spread over a longer period than indicated in Section 4.05. In that event, purchases shall be made or resumed when permitted by the rules and regulations of the Commission or applicable securities exchange or other securities trading facility; and the Administrator shall not be accountable for its inability to make all purchases within the applicable period. If any Commission, securities exchange, or other securities trading facility suspension of trading in Common Stock remains effective for 90 consecutive days, the Administrator shall remit promptly after the end of such period (i) to the Participant, all cash credited to the Participant's Account other than the Employer Contributions attributable to the Participant's payroll deductions and cash dividends paid on Plan Shares credited to the Participant's Account and (ii) to the Employer, any Employer Contribution credited to the Participant's Account.

4852-6679-5672.3

EXHIBIT 10(i)

Section 5.02.    Certificates or Book Entries for Plan Shares. The Administrator shall hold the Plan Shares of all Participants in its name or in the name of its nominee evidenced by appropriate book entry. No book entry shall be made in Participant's name unless and until his Account is terminated. 

Section 5.03.    Sale of Plan Shares. A Participant may request that the Administrator sell all or any part of his Plan Shares at any time. A Participant who wishes to sell any part of his Plan Shares may do so by providing notice to the Administrator on an Applicable Form. Upon receipt of the notice, the Administrator, as the Participant's agent, shall sell the number of Plan Shares specified in the Participant's notice within five business days after receiving the Participant's notice of instruction to sell and shall deliver to the Participant the proceeds of the sale, less a handling charge, brokerage commissions, and other costs of sale. Whole and fractional shares may be aggregated and sold with those of other Participants, in which case the proceeds for each Participant shall be based on the average sales price of all shares aggregated and sold. Any sale may, but need not, be made by purchase for other Accounts, in which case the price shall be the mean of the high and low selling price of Common Stock as reported by the principal stock exchange on which the stock is traded on the date on which the Administrator receives notice of the Participant's notice of instruction to sell, or, if the stock is not traded on such date, the mean on the next prior date on which the Common Stock was so traded. Any fractional shares that are not sold shall be paid for in cash at a price equal to the mean of the high and low selling prices of Common Stock as reported by the principal stock exchange on which Common Stock is traded on the date on which the Administrator receives notice of the Participant's notice of instruction to sell or, if the stock is not traded on such date, the mean on the next prior date on which the Common Stock was so traded.

ARTICLE VI

VOTING AND TENDER OF PLAN SHARES 

Section 6.01.    Voting of Plan Shares. The Administrator shall vote Plan Shares credited to a Participant's Account as instructed by the Participant on an Applicable Form provided to the Administrator at least five days (or such shorter period as the law may require) before the meeting at which such Plan Shares are to be voted. The Administrator shall not vote Plan Shares for which no instructions have been received. 

Section 6.02.    Tender or Exchange Offer. If a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock is initiated, the Administrator, upon receipt of information with respect thereto as the holder of record of the Plan Shares, shall either (i) forward, or provide for forwarding, to each Participant, the information provided by the offeror to holders of record of Common Stock or (ii) provide to the offeror the name and mailing address of each Participant, as reflected on the records of the Administrator, with instructions to mail such material to each Participant. The Administrator shall tender all or part of a Participant's Plan Shares in response to written instructions from the Participant in such form as the Administrator may reasonably require and only if such instructions are received by the Administrator at least five days (or such shorter period as may be required by law) before termination of the offer. Unless the Administrator has received instructions in accordance with the previous sentence, it will not tender a Participant's Plan Shares. Except to the extent that disclosure is required to tender Plan Shares pursuant to proper written instructions, the Administrator shall maintain the confidentiality of a Participant's election to tender or not tender Plan Shares. 

ARTICLE VII

PLAN EXPENSES 

Section 7.01.    Expenses. Cummins shall pay the service charges, brokerage, costs of mailing and other charges incurred in connection with the purchase of Plan Shares. The cost of selling Plan Shares shall be borne by Participants, as provided herein.

EXHIBIT 10(i)

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
Section 8.01.    Amendment. Cummins may, in its sole discretion, amend this Plan at any time; provided, however, except as required by law, no amendment shall be retroactive, nor shall any amendment deprive any Participant of amounts credited to his Account. 

Section 8.02.    Termination. Cummins may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Plan at any time. If Cummins does not earlier terminate the Plan, it shall terminate automatically on the tenth anniversary of its approval by Cummins' shareholders. 

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

Section 9.01.    Non-U.S. Participation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, Cummins may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures for jurisdictions outside of the U.S. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Cummins specifically is authorized to adopt rules, procedures and sub-plans regarding, without limitation, eligibility to participate, the definition of Base Pay, handling of payroll deductions, making of contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions, payment of interest on amounts held pending the purchase of Shares, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary-designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of Plan Share issuances, which may vary according to local requirements.
 
Section 9.02.    Statements. The Administrator shall provide or make available to Participants periodic statements summarizing the transactions in the Participant's Account since the most recent available statement. 

Section 9.03.    Tax Matters. Each Participant is responsible for all taxes (whether local, state or federal) due because of Employer Contributions, the payment of a dividend, or the sale of Plan Shares credited to his Account. Prior to the time that any federal, state, or any other tax liability becomes payable by the Employer with respect to Employer Contributions or Plan Shares as a result of participation in the Plan to any authority, national insurance, social security, payment-on-account or other taxing authority, including any liability of the Participant to pay an employer tax or social insurance contribution obligation, the affected Participant shall make adequate provision for payment of such taxes. At any time, the Employer may, but is not obligated to, withhold from the Participant's compensation the amount necessary for the Employer to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Employer any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Plan Shares by the Participant. In addition, the Employer may withhold from the proceeds of the sale of Plan Shares (i) a sufficient whole number of Plan Shares otherwise issuable following purchase having an aggregate fair market value equal to the applicable withholding obligations or (ii) by any other means set forth in the Applicable Form. Where necessary to avoid negative accounting treatment, the Employer will withhold taxes at the applicable statutory minimum withholding rates. The Administrator shall timely prepare and forward to the United States Internal Revenue Service, the appropriate state and local authorities, and Participants the information returns required by the Code and applicable state or local statutes. All Employer Contributions shall constitute taxable income to the Participant to whose Account they are credited and shall be reported to the applicable taxing authority. ' 

Section 9.04.    Limitation on the Employers' and the Administrator's Liability. The Employers and the Administrator shall not be liable for any action that is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Plan taken or omitted in good faith, including without limitation, any claim of liability:

4852-6679-5672.3

EXHIBIT 10(i)

(a)  Arising out of failure to terminate a Participant's Account upon the Participant's death or otherwise before the receipt of written notice of the event causing termination, accompanied by documentation deemed satisfactory by the Administrator; 

(b)  With respect to the prices at which Plan Shares are purchased or sold for a Participant's Account and the timing and terms on which the purchase or sale is made; or 

(c)  For the market value, or any fluctuation in the market value, after purchase or sale of Plan Shares for a Participant's Account. 

Section 9.05.    Transfer; Assignment. Except as is expressly provided in this Plan, no Participant may sell, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise assign or transfer his Account, any interest in his Account, or any cash or stock credited to his Account. Any attempt to sell, pledge, hypothecate, assign, or transfer his Account, any interest in his Account, or any cash or stock credited to his Account shall be void.
