  PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT

  

 

1.        The Grant.  Alliant Techsystems Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to you, on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Performance Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) and in the
Alliant Techsystems Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a Performance
Award as of the date, and for the number of Shares (the “Performance Shares”),
which the Company or its agent provided to you separately in writing through an
electronic notice and on-line award acceptance web page (the “Electronic Notice
and On-Line Award Acceptance”).

2.        Measuring Period.  The Measuring Period for purposes of
determining whether the Company will pay you the Performance Shares shall be                                    .

3.        Performance Goals.  The Performance Goals for purposes of
determining whether the Company will pay you the Performance Shares are set
forth in the Performance Accountability Chart, which the Company provided to
you separately in writing.

4.        Payment.  The Company will pay you the Performance
Shares if and to the extent that the Performance Goals are achieved, as set
forth in the Performance Accountability Chart and as determined by the
Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”)
in its sole discretion.

5.        Form and Timing of Payment. The Company
will pay you any shares payable pursuant to this Agreement in shares of common
stock of the Company (the “Shares”), with one Share issued for each Performance
Share earned.  The Company will pay you
the Performance Shares as soon as practicable after the Committee determines,
in its sole discretion, after the end of the Measuring Period, whether, and the
extent to which, the Performance Goals have been achieved.

6.        Change in Control.  After a Change in Control (as defined in
Appendix A to this Agreement), the Performance Shares shall immediately be
payable at the median performance level, but prorated for your active service
time with the Company during the Measuring Period.  However, if you are or become a participant
in the Company’s Income Security Plan or any successor or substitute plan (the “ISP”),
the terms of payment of the Performance Shares shall be governed by the
provisions of the ISP.

7.        Forfeiture.  In the event of your termination of
employment prior to the end of the Measuring Period, other than by reason of
death, Disability (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement), retirement, or
voluntary or involuntary layoff, all of your Performance Shares and rights to
payment of any Shares shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited.  In the event of your termination of
employment prior to the end of the Measuring Period by reason of Disability,
retirement, or voluntary or involuntary layoff, you shall be entitled to
receive, after the end of the Measuring Period, the number of Shares determined
by the Committee pursuant to this Agreement, but prorated for your active
service time with the Company during the Measuring Period.  In the event of your death prior to the end of
the Measuring Period, your estate shall be entitled to receive, within a
practicable time after your death, payment of the Performance Shares at the median
performance level, but prorated for your active service time with the Company
during the Measuring Period.  In the
event you are reassigned to a position and as a result you are no longer
eligible for Performance Shares, you shall be entitled to receive, after the
end of the Measuring Period, the number of Shares determined by the Committee
pursuant to this Agreement, but prorated for your service time as an eligible
participant during the Measuring Period.

8.        Rights.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to grant you
any rights as a holder of Shares unless and until the Company actually issues
the Shares to you as provided herein.

9.        Income Taxes.  You are liable for any federal, state and
local income or other taxes applicable upon the grant of the Performance
Shares, the receipt of the Shares, or subsequent disposition of the Shares, and
you acknowledge that you should consult with your own tax advisor regarding the
applicable tax consequences.  Upon
payment of the Performance Shares and/or issuance of the Shares to you, the
Company will pay your required minimum statutory withholding taxes by
withholding Shares otherwise to be delivered upon the payment of the
Performance Shares with a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to
the amount of such taxes.  Alternatively,
if you notify the Company prior to the end of the Measuring Period, you may
elect to pay all or a portion of the minimum statutory withholding taxes by
(a) delivering to the Company Shares other than Shares issuable upon the
payment of the Performance Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
of such taxes or (b) paying cash, provided that if you do not deliver such
Shares or cash to the Company by the second business day after the payment date
of the Performance Shares, the Company will pay your required minimum statutory
withholding taxes by withholding Shares otherwise to be delivered upon the
payment of the Performance Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
of such taxes.

10.  Acknowledgment.  This Award of Performance Shares shall not be
effective until you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Plan, and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Prospectus relating to the Plan,
by accepting this Award in writing or electronically as specified by the
Company or its agent in the Electronic Notice and On-Line Award Acceptance.

Stock is hereby made available and is reserved for delivery upon exercise of

Stock, stock appreciation rights and performance shares associated with such
Award shall become available for other Awards.

4. ADMINISTRATION

(b) The Board may,
in its discretion, delegate to another committee of the Board any or all of the
authority and responsibility of the Committee with respect to Awards to
Grantees who are not Section 16 Grantees at the time any such delegated
authority or responsibility is exercised. Such other committee may consist of
one or more directors who may, but need not be, officers or employees of the
Company or of any of its Subsidiaries. To the extent that the Board has
delegated the authority and responsibility of the Committee to such other
committee, all references to the Committee in the Plan shall be to such other

specific performance units shall be identified with a specific option or
specific shares of restricted stock and, if so, whether they shall be

such additional conditions, restrictions, and limitations upon the grant,
exercise or retention of Awards as the Committee may, before or concurrently
with the grant thereof, deem appropriate, including, without limitation,
requiring simultaneous exercise of related identified options, stock
appreciation rights, performance units, and limiting the percentage of options,
stock appreciation rights, and performance units which may from time to time be
exercised by a Grantee.

The determination
of the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan or any Award Agreement

promoting the purposes of the Plan.

GRANTS

(a) General Conditions.

(i) The Grant Date of an Award shall be the date on
which the Committee grants the Award or such later date as specified in advance
by the Committee.

(iii) A Grantee may, if otherwise eligible, be granted
additional Awards in any combination; provided that no Grantee may be granted
Awards identified with more than 250,000 shares of Stock in any calendar year.

(iv) The Committee may grant Awards with terms and
conditions which differ among the Grantees thereof. To the extent not set forth

Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date and (ii) unless such option relates
to treasury shares, shall not be less than the par value of the Stock.

(c) Grant of Incentive Stock Options. At the time of
the grant of any option, the Committee may designate that such option shall be
made subject to additional restrictions to permit it to qualify as an “incentive
stock option” under the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Any option designated as an incentive stock option:

(i) shall have an Option Price of (A) not less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date or (B) in the case
of a 10% Owner, not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the
Grant Date;

(ii) shall be for a period of not more than 10 years
(five years, in the case of a 10% Owner) from the Grant Date, and shall be
subject to earlier termination as provided herein or in the applicable Award Agreement;

(iii) shall not have an aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined for each incentive stock option at its Grant Date) of Stock with
respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by
such Grantee during any calendar year (under the Plan and any other employee stock
option plan of the Grantee’s employer or any parent or subsidiary thereof (“Other
Plans”)), determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code, which exceeds $100,000 (the “$100,000 Limit”);

(iv) shall, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of
Stock (determined on the Grant Date) with respect to all incentive stock
options previously granted under the Plan and any Other Plans (“Prior Grants”)
and any incentive stock options under such grant (the “Current Grant”) which
are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year would exceed the $100,000
Limit, be exercisable as follows:

(A) the portion of the Current Grant exercisable for
the first time by the Grantee during any calendar year which would be, when
added to any portions of any Prior Grants exercisable for the first time by the
Grantee during such calendar year with respect to stock which would have an
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective Grant Date for
such options) in excess of the $100,000 Limit shall, notwithstanding the terms
of the Current Grant, be exercisable for the first time by the Grantee in the
first subsequent calendar year or years in which it could be exercisable for
the first time by the Grantee when added to all Prior Grants without exceeding
the $100,000 Limit; and

(B) if, viewed as of the date of the Current Grant,
any portion of a Current Grant could not be exercised under the provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence during any calendar year commencing with the
calendar year in which it is first exercisable through and including the last
calendar year in which it may by its terms be exercised, such portion of the
Current Grant shall not be an incentive stock option, but shall be exercisable
as a separate option at such date or dates as are provided in the Current
Grant;

(v) shall be granted within 10 years from the
Restatement Effective Date; and

(vi) shall require the Grantee to notify the Committee
of any disposition of any Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the
incentive stock option under the circumstances described in

 3
 

Section 421(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions),
within 10 days of such disposition.

Notwithstanding
the foregoing and Article 4(c)(v), the Committee may take any action with
respect to any option, including but not limited to an incentive stock option,
without the consent of the Grantee, in order to prevent such option from being
treated as an incentive stock option.

(d) Grant of Reload Options. The Committee may from
time to time, in its discretion, adopt a policy, which policy shall not remain
in effect for longer than 12 months at a time, but which may be adopted for
successive 12-month periods, under which each Grantee who exercises while the
policy is in effect an option for shares of Stock which have a Fair Market
Value equal to not less than 100% of the Option Price for such options (or such
greater percentage set forth in the policy) (“Exercised Options”) and paid the
Option Price with shares of Stock shall be granted, subject to Article 3,
additional options (“Reload Options”) in an amount equal to the sum (“Reload
Number”) of the number of shares of Stock tendered to exercise the Exercised
Options plus, if so provided by the Committee, the number of shares of Stock,
if any, retained by the Company in connection with the exercise of the
Exercised Options to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding
requirements.

Reload Options shall be subject to the following terms
and conditions:

(i) the Grant Date for each Reload Option shall be the
date of exercise of the Exercised Option to which it relates;

(ii) the Reload Option may be exercised at any time
during the unexpired term of the Exercised Option (subject to earlier
termination thereof as provided in the Plan and in the applicable Award
Agreement); and

(iii) the terms of the Reload Option shall be the same
as the terms of the Exercised Option to which it relates, except that (A) the
Option Price shall be the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date of
the Reload Option and (B) no Reload Option may be exercised within one year
from the Grant Date thereof.

(e) Grant of Shares of Restricted Stock.

(i) Before the grant of any shares of restricted
stock, the Committee shall determine, in its discretion:

(A) whether the certificates for such shares shall be
delivered to the Grantee or held (together with a stock power executed in blank
by the Grantee) in escrow by the Secretary of the Company until such shares become
nonforfeitable or are forfeited,

(B) the per share purchase price of such shares
(which, subject to clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence, may be zero), and

(C) the restrictions applicable to such grant; provided,
however, that the per share purchase price of all such shares (other than
treasury shares) shall be greater than or equal to the par value of such
shares.

(ii) Payment of the purchase price (if greater than
zero) for shares of restricted stock shall be made in full by the Grantee
before the delivery of such shares and, in any event, no later than 10 days
after the Grant Date for such shares. Such payment may, at the election of the Grantee,
be made in any one or any combination of the following:

(A) cash,

(B) Stock valued at its Fair Market Value on the
business day next preceding the date of payment, or

(C) with the approval of the Committee, shares of
restricted stock, each valued at the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the business day next preceding the date of payment;

 4
 

provided that:

(1) in the discretion of the Committee and to the
extent permitted by law, payment may also be made in accordance with Article
11; and

(2) if the purchase price for restricted stock (“New
Restricted Stock”) is paid with shares of restricted stock (“Old Restricted Stock”),
the restrictions applicable to the New Restricted Stock shall be the same as if
the Grantee had paid for the New Restricted Stock in cash unless, in the
judgment of the Committee, the Old Restricted Stock was subject to a greater
risk of forfeiture, in which case a number of shares of New Restricted Stock
equal to the number of shares of Old Restricted Stock tendered in payment for
New Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Old
Restricted Stock, determined immediately before such payment.

(iii) The Committee may, but need not, provide that
all or any portion of a Grantee’s Award of restricted stock shall be forfeited:

(A) upon the Grantee’s Termination of Employment
within a specified time period after the Grant Date, or

(B) if the Company or the Grantee does not achieve
specified performance goals within a specified time period after the Grant Date
and before the Grantee’s Termination of Employment.

(iv) If a share of restricted stock is forfeited,
then:

(A) the Grantee shall be deemed to have resold such
share of restricted stock to the Company at the lesser of (1) the purchase
price paid by the Grantee (such purchase price shall be deemed to be zero dollars
($0) if no purchase price was paid) or (2) the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the date of such forfeiture;

(B) the Company shall pay to the Grantee the amount
determined under clause (A) of this sentence as soon as is administratively practical;
and

(C) such share of restricted stock shall cease to be
outstanding, and shall no longer confer on the Grantee thereof any rights as a stockholder
of the Company, from and after the date of the Company’s tender of the payment
specified in clause (B) of this sentence.

(v) Any share of restricted stock shall bear an
appropriate legend specifying that such share is non-transferable and subject
to the restrictions set forth in the Plan. If any shares of restricted stock become
nonforfeitable, the Company shall cause certificates for such shares to be
issued or reissued without such legend.

(f) Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. When granted,
stock appreciation rights may, but need not, be identified with shares of Stock
subject to a specific option or specific shares of restricted stock of the
Grantee (including any option or shares of restricted stock granted on or
before the Grant Date of the stock appreciation rights) in a number equal to or
different from the number of stock appreciation rights so granted. If stock
appreciation rights are identified with shares of Stock subject to an option or
with shares of restricted stock, then, unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Award Agreement, the Grantee’s associated stock appreciation rights
shall terminate upon (i) the expiration, termination, forfeiture, or
cancellation of such option or shares of restricted stock, (ii) the purchase of
shares of Stock subject to such option, or (iii) the nonforfeitability of such
shares of restricted stock, as the case may be.

(g) Grant of Performance Units and Performance Shares.

(i) Before the grant of any performance unit or
performance share, the Committee shall:

(A) determine performance goals applicable to such
grant,

(B) designate a period, of not less than one year nor
more than seven years, for the measurement of the extent to which performance goals
are attained (the “Measuring Period”), and

 5
 

(C) assign a “Performance Percentage” to each level of
attainment of performance goals during the Measuring Period, with the
percentage applicable to minimum attainment being zero percent (0%) and the percentage
applicable to maximum attainment to be determined by the Committee from time to
time (but not to exceed 100% in the case of performance shares).

(ii) In establishing performance goals, the Committee
may consider such performance factor or factors as it deems appropriate,
including, without limitation, net income, growth in net income, earnings per
share, growth of earnings per share, return on equity, or return on capital.
The Committee may, at any time, in its discretion, modify performance goals in order
to facilitate their attainment for any reason, including, but not limited to,
recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or a
Subsidiary or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.
If a Grantee is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit
of the Company during a performance period, the Committee may adjust or
eliminate the performance goals as it deems appropriate.

(iii) When granted, performance units may, but need
not, be identified with shares of Stock subject to a specific option or
specific shares of restricted stock of the Grantee in a number equal to or
different from the number of the performance units so granted. If performance
units are identified with shares of Stock subject to an option or shares of restricted
stock, then, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the
Grantee’s associated performance units shall terminate upon (i) the expiration,
termination, forfeiture, or cancellation of such option or shares of restricted
stock, (ii) the purchase of shares of Stock subject to such option, or (iii)
the nonforfeitability of such shares of restricted stock, as the case may be.

7. GRANTEE’S
AGREEMENT TO SERVE

Each Grantee who is granted an Award shall, by
executing such Grantee’s Award Agreement, agree that such Grantee will remain
in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for at least one year
after the Grant Date. No obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
as to the length of any Grantee’s employment shall be implied by the terms of
the Plan, any grant of an Award hereunder or any Award Agreement. The Company
and its Subsidiaries reserve the same rights to terminate employment of any
Grantee as existed before the Effective Date.

8.
NON-TRANSFERABILITY

Each Award (other than restricted stock) granted
hereunder shall by its terms not be assignable or transferable other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the
Grantee’s lifetime, only by the Grantee. Each share of restricted stock shall
be non-transferable until such share becomes nonforfeitable.

9. EXERCISE

(a) Exercise of Options. Subject to Articles
4(c)(vii), 10 and 15 and such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose,
each option shall be exercisable in one or more installments commencing not
earlier than the Grant Date of such option. Each option shall be exercised by
delivery to the Company of written notice of intent to purchase a specific
number of shares of Stock subject to the option. The Option Price of any shares
of Stock as to which an option shall be exercised shall be paid in full at the
time of the exercise. Payment may, at the election of the Grantee, be made in
any one or any combination of the following:

(i) cash,

(ii) Stock valued at its Fair Market Value on the
business day next preceding the date of exercise, or

(iii) with the approval of the Committee, shares of
restricted stock, each valued at the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the business day next preceding the date of exercise.

 6
 

In the discretion of the Committee and to the extent
permitted by law, payment may also be made in accordance with Article 11.

If restricted stock (“Tendered Restricted Stock”) is
used to pay the Option Price for Stock, then a number of shares of Stock
acquired on exercise of the option equal to the number of shares of Tendered
Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Tendered
Restricted Stock, determined as of the date of exercise of the option. If the
Option Price for restricted stock is paid with Tendered Restricted Stock, and
if the Committee determines that the restricted stock acquired on exercise of
the option is subject to restrictions that cause it to have a greater risk of
forfeiture than the Tendered Restricted Stock, then notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, all the restricted stock acquired on exercise of the option
shall be subject to such restrictions.

(b) Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to
Articles 4(c) (vii), 10 and 15 and such terms and conditions as the Committee
may impose, each stock appreciation right shall be exercisable not earlier than
the first anniversary of the Grant Date of such stock appreciation right, to
the extent the option with which it is identified, if any, may be exercised and
to the extent the restricted stock with which it is identified, if any, is
nonforfeitable, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. Stock appreciation
rights shall be exercised by delivery to the Company of written notice of
intent to exercise a specific number of stock appreciation rights. Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the exercise of stock
appreciation rights which are identified with shares subject to an option or
shares of restricted stock shall result in the cancellation or forfeiture of
such option or shares of restricted stock, as the case may be, to the extent of
such exercise.

The benefit for each stock appreciation right
exercised shall be equal to the difference between:

(i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the
date of such exercise

and

(ii) an amount equal to:

(A) in the case of a stock appreciation right
identified with a share of Stock subject to an option, the Option Price of such
option, unless the Committee in the grant of the stock appreciation right specified
a higher amount, or

(B) in the case of any other stock appreciation right,
the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date of such stock appreciation
right;

provided that the Committee, in its discretion, may
provide that the benefit for any stock appreciation right shall not exceed a
stated percentage (which may exceed 100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share
of Stock on such Grant Date. The benefit upon the exercise of a stock appreciation
right shall be payable in cash, except that the Committee, with respect to any
particular exercise, may, in its discretion, pay benefits wholly or partly in
Stock.

(c) Exercise of Performance Units. Subject to Articles
10 and 15 and such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, if, with
respect to any performance unit, the minimum performance goals have been
achieved during the applicable Measuring Period, then such performance unit
shall be exercisable commencing on the later of (i) the first anniversary of
the Grant Date or (ii) the first day after the end of the applicable Measuring
Period. Performance units shall be exercised by delivery to the Company of
written notice of intent to exercise a specific number of performance units;
provided, however, that performance units not identified with an option or
shares of restricted stock shall be deemed exercised on the date on which they
first become exercisable. Unless otherwise provided for in the applicable Award
Agreement, the exercise of performance units which are identified with an
option or shares of restricted stock shall result in the cancellation or
forfeiture of such option or shares of restricted stock, as the case may be, to
the extent of such exercise.

The benefit for each performance unit exercised shall
be an amount equal to the product of:

(i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the
Grant Date of the performance unit multiplied by

 7
 

(ii) the Performance Percentage attained during the
Measuring Period for such performance unit.

The benefit upon the exercise of a performance unit shall
be payable as soon as is administratively practicable after the later of (i)
the date the Grantee exercises or is deemed to exercise such performance unit,
or (ii) the date (or dates in the event of installment payments) as provided in
the applicable Award Agreement. Such benefit shall be payable in cash, except
that the Committee, with respect to any particular exercise, may, in its
discretion, pay benefits wholly or partly in Stock. The number of shares of
Stock payable in lieu of cash shall be determined by valuing the Stock at its
Fair Market Value on the business day next preceding the date such benefit is
to be paid.

(d) Payment of Performance Shares. Subject to Articles
10 and 15 and such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, if the minimum
performance goals specified by the Committee with respect to an Award of
performance shares have been achieved during the applicable Measuring Period,
then the Company shall pay to the Grantee of such Award shares of Stock equal
in number to the product of the number of performance shares specified in the
applicable Award Agreement multiplied by the Performance Percentage achieved
during such Measuring Period, except to the extent that the Committee in its
discretion determines that cash be paid in lieu of some or all of such shares
of Stock. The amount of cash payable in lieu of a share of Stock shall be
determined by valuing such share at its Fair Market Value on the business day
next preceding the date such cash is to be paid. Payments pursuant to this
Article 9(d) shall be made as soon as administratively practical after the end
of the applicable Measuring Period. Any performance shares with respect to
which the performance goals have not been achieved by the end of the applicable
Measuring Period shall expire.

10. EFFECTS OF A
CHANGE OF CONTROL

(I) The following provisions of this Article 10 shall
apply to Awards not covered by Article 10(II) below.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan,
after a Change of Control:

(i) all options, stock appreciation rights, and
performance units granted under the Plan shall immediately be fully
exercisable;

(ii) all shares of restricted stock shall immediately
be nonforfeitable and freely transferable; and

(iii) the Company shall, within three business days
after the date of the Change of Control, pay a benefit with respect to all
performance shares computed pursuant to Article 10(I)(c).

(b) In the event of a Change of Control, the benefit,
if any, payable with respect to any performance unit for which the Measuring
Period has not ended shall be equal to the product of:

(i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the
Grant Date of the performance unit multiplied successively by each of the
following:

(ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of months (including as a whole month any partial month) that have elapsed
since the beginning of such Measuring Period until the date of the Change of
Control and the denominator of which is the number of months (including as a
whole month any partial month) in the Measuring Period (the “Time Proration Factor”);
and

(iii) the Performance Percentage specified in the
applicable Award Agreement for the achievement of “on plan” performance as of
the end of the Measuring Period (the “On-Plan Performance Factor”).

(c) In the event of a Change of Control, the number of
shares of Stock to be delivered, if any, with respect to any performance shares
shall be equal to the number of performance shares granted multiplied
successively by each of the following:

(i) the Time Proration Factor; and

(ii) the On-Plan Performance Factor.

 8
 

(d) After a Change of Control, Article 7 shall not be
construed to prevent the exercise of, or the payment of benefits pursuant to, a
Grantee’s Award or the nonforfeitability of a Grantee’s shares of restricted
stock, whether or not such Grantee remains employed for one year after the
applicable Grant Date.

(II) The following provisions of this Article 10 shall
apply to Awards granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date to any Grantee
who is or becomes a Participant in the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Income Security
Plan (the “Income Security Plan”) and shall be applicable so long as such
Grantee is a Participant in the Income Security Plan. In the event a Grantee
ceases to be a Participant in the Income Security Plan, the provisions of
Article 10(I) shall apply to Awards held by such Grantee. In the event the
Income Security Plan is terminated or amended so as to adversely affect the
rights of Participants thereunder, the provisions of Article 10(I) shall apply
to all Awards held by all Grantees.

In the event of a Qualifying Termination of a
Participant in the Income Security Plan, (a) any unvested Award shall thereupon
vest and (i) in the case of options, shall be exercisable for the lesser of the
normal expiration date or three (3) years after the Date of Termination, and
(ii) in the case of performance shares shall vest as of the Date of Termination
on a pro rata basis according to the expired portion of the total measuring
period over which the performance for such award is to be measured, and based
upon deemed attainment of the target performance, or if greater, based upon the
actual performance achieved, and (b) if the Stock ceases to be listed for
trading on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or the National
Market List of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., Automated
Quotation System (a “Trading System”) and any such Award is not replaced with
an award for securities which are traded on a Trading System (which replacement
award shall have the same or greater current value, as determined in good faith
by the Board, or the Board of Directors of the Company’s successor), then the Participant
shall be entitled to receive the value of any such Award (including any pro
rata portion of performance shares, as described above) in cash (within ten
(10) days of the date on which the Stock ceases to be traded on a Trading System)
in an amount calculated based upon the highest price paid for the purchase of
shares of Stock by a Person as of any date within six (6) months before or
subsequent to a Change of Control (as defined in paragraph (g) (ii) of Exhibit
A.

11. LOAN AND
GUARANTEES

The Committee may, in its discretion:

(a) allow a Grantee to defer payment to the Company of
all or any portion of (i) the Option Price of an option, (ii) the purchase
price of a share of restricted stock, or (iii) any taxes associated with a
benefit hereunder which is not a cash benefit at the time such benefit is so
taxable, or

(b) cause the Company to guarantee a loan from a third
party to the Grantee, in an amount equal to all or any portion of such Option
Price, purchase price, or any related taxes.

Any such payment deferral or guarantee by the Company
pursuant to this Article 11 shall be, on a secured or unsecured basis, for such
periods, at such interest rates, and on such other terms and conditions as the
Committee may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Grantee shall not be
entitled to defer the payment of such Option Price, purchase price, or any
related taxes unless the Grantee (i) enters into a binding obligation to pay
the portion of the Option Price, purchase price, or any related taxes which is
deferred and (ii) pays upon exercise of an option or grant of shares of
restricted stock, as the case may be, an amount equal to or greater than the
aggregate par value of all shares of Stock (other than treasury shares) to be
then delivered. If the Committee has permitted a payment deferral or caused the
Company to guarantee a loan pursuant to this Article 11, then the Committee
may, in its discretion, require the immediate payment of such deferred amount
or the immediate release of such guarantee upon the Grantee’s Termination of
Employment or if the Grantee sells or otherwise transfers the Grantee’s shares
of Stock purchased pursuant to such deferral or guarantee.

 9
 

12. NOTIFICATION
UNDER SECTION 83(B)

If the Committee has not, on the Grant Date or any
later date, prohibited such Grantee from making the following election, and a
Grantee shall, in connection with the exercise of any option, or the grant of
any share of restricted stock, make the election permitted under Section 83(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., an election to include in such Grantee’s
gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code), such Grantee shall notify the Company of such
election within 10 days of filing notice of the election with the Internal
Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant
to regulations issued under the authority of Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code.

13. MANDATORY
WITHHOLDING TAXES

(a) Whenever under the Plan, cash or shares of Stock
are to be delivered upon exercise or payment of an Award or upon a share of
restricted stock becoming nonforfeitable, or any other event with respect to
rights and benefits hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to require as a
condition of delivery (i) that the Grantee remit an amount sufficient to satisfy
all federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements related thereto,
(ii) the withholding of such sums from compensation otherwise due to the
Grantee or from any shares of Stock due to the Grantee under the Plan or (iii)
any combination of the foregoing.

(b) If any disqualifying disposition described in
Article 6(c) (vi) is made with respect to shares of Stock acquired under an
incentive stock option granted pursuant to the Plan or any election described
in Article 12 is made, then the person making such disqualifying disposition or
election shall remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all
federal, state, and local withholding taxes thereby incurred; provided that, in
lieu of or in addition to the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to
withhold such sums from compensation otherwise due to the Grantee or from any
shares of Stock due to the Grantee under the Plan.

14. ELECTIVE SHARE
WITHHOLDING

(a) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee on or
after the Grant Date, and pursuant to Article 14(b), a Grantee may elect the
withholding (“Share Withholding”) by the Company of a portion of the shares of
Stock otherwise deliverable to such Grantee upon the exercise or payment of an
Award or upon a share of restricted stock’s becoming nonforfeitable (each a
“Taxable Event”) having a Fair Market Value equal to:

(i) the amount necessary to satisfy required federal,
state, or local withholding tax liability attributable to the Taxable Event; or

(ii) with the Committee’s prior approval, a greater
amount, not to exceed the estimated total amount of such Grantee’s tax
liability with respect to the Taxable Event.

(b) Each Share Withholding election by a Grantee shall
be subject to the following restrictions:

(i) any Grantee’s election shall be subject to the
Committee’s right to revoke its approval of Share Withholding by such Grantee
at any time before the Grantee’s election; and

(ii) the Grantee’s election shall be irrevocable.

(c) The elective share withholding provisions of this
Article 14 shall be available with respect to any Award, including Awards
granted prior to the Restatement Effective Date.

15. TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT

(a) Restricted Stock and Performance Shares. Except as
otherwise provided by the Committee on or after the Grant Date, a Grantee’s
shares of restricted stock that are forfeitable shall be forfeited upon the
Grantee’s Termination of Employment, and a Grantee’s performance shares that
have not become deliverable shall terminate upon the Grantee’s Termination of
Employment.

 10

(b) Other Awards. An unexercised option, stock
appreciation right, or performance unit shall terminate upon the Grantee’s
Termination of Employment, except that the Committee may provide on or after
the Grant Date that:

(i) if the Grantee’s Termination of Employment is
caused by the death of the Grantee, then any unexercised option, stock
appreciation rights, or performance units, to the extent exercisable on the
date of the Grantee’s death, may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time
within one year after the Grantee’s death by the Grantee’s personal
representative or by the person to whom the option, stock appreciation rights,
or performance units are transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent
and distribution;

(ii) if the Grantee’s Termination of Employment is as
a result of retirement, then any unexercised option, stock appreciation rights,
or performance units, to the extent exercisable at the date of such Termination
of Employment, may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time within 90
days after such Termination of Employment; provided that, if the Grantee dies
after such Termination of Employment and before the end of such 90-day period,
such option, stock appreciation rights, or performance units may be exercised
by the deceased Grantee’s personal representative or by the person to whom the
option, stock appreciation rights, or performance units are transferred by will
or the applicable laws of descent and distribution within one year after the
Grantee’s Termination of Employment;

(iii) if the Grantee’s Termination of Employment is on
account of the Disability of the Grantee, then any unexercised option, stock
appreciation rights, or performance units, to the extent exercisable at the
date of such Termination of Employment, may be exercised, in whole or in part,
at any time within one year after the date of such Termination of Employment; provided
that, if the Grantee dies after such Termination of Employment and before the
end of such one-year period, such option, stock appreciation rights, or
performance units may be exercised by the deceased Grantee’s personal
representative or by the person to whom the option, stock appreciation rights,
or performance units are transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent
and distribution within one year after the Grantee’s Termination of Employment,
or, if later, within 180 days after the Grantee’s death.

(c) Other Exceptions at the Discretion of the
Committee. If the Grantee has a Termination of Employment for any reason, other
than conviction of the Grantee of any felony or other crime involving
dishonesty, fraud or moral turpitude, or the Grantee’s habitual neglect of his
duties, the Committee may provide on or after the Grant Date (including after a
Grantee’s Termination of Employment, but before the expiration of the term
specified in the applicable Award Agreement) for one or more of the following:

(i) that any unexercised option, stock appreciation
rights, or performance units, to the extent exercisable on the date of such Termination
of Employment, may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time within a
period specified by the Committee after the date of such Termination of
Employment;

(ii) that any option, stock appreciation rights, or
performance units which are not exercisable on or before the date of such
Termination of Employment (A) will continue to become exercisable, as if such
Termination of Employment had not occurred, after such date for a period
specified by the Committee and, (B) to the extent such option, stock appreciation
rights, or performance units have become exercisable during such period, may be
exercised, in whole or in part, at or before the end of such period;

(iii) that any shares of restricted stock that have
not become nonforfeitable on or before the date of such Termination of
Employment, and any performance shares that have not become deliverable on or
before the date of such Termination of Employment may become nonforfeitable or deliverable,
as the case may be, as if such Termination of Employment had not occurred after
such date for a period specified by the Committee; or

(iv) that if the Grantee dies after such Termination
of Employment and before the expiration of the period specified under clause
(i) or (ii) of this Article 15(c), such option, stock appreciation rights, or
performance units may be exercised by the deceased Grantee’s personal
representative or by the person to whom the option, stock appreciation rights,
or performance units are transferred by will or the applicable

 11
 

laws of descent and
distribution within the specified period after the Grantee’s Termination of
Employment, or, if later, within 180 days after the Grantee’s death.

(d) Maximum Extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Award shall be exercisable beyond the maximum term permitted under the
original Award Agreement unless the Committee explicitly extends such original
term, in which case such term shall not be extended beyond the maximum term
permitted by the Plan.

16. SUBSTITUTE
AWARDS

(a) In the case of an Award to a Grantee who is not a
Section 16 Grantee, the Committee may cancel, with the consent of a Grantee,
any such Award, and may substitute a new Award therefor. The Committee may
also, in its discretion, provide that the Grant Date of the canceled Award
shall be the date used to determine the earliest date or dates for exercising
the new substituted Award under Article 9 hereof so that the Grantee may
exercise the substituted Award at the same time as if the Grantee had held the
substituted Award since the Grant Date of the canceled Award.

(b) Options (“Replacement Options”) shall
automatically be granted under the Plan to each Transferred Employee (as
defined in the Distribution Agreement dated as of September 24, 1990 between
Honeywell and the Company (the “Distribution Agreement”)) who holds unexercised
options granted under the Honeywell Plans (“Honeywell Options”) at the
Distribution Date (as defined in the Distribution Agreement); provided that
such person executes an agreement before the Distribution Date or as of such
later date as the Committee shall permit, providing for the substitution of
Replacement Options for Honeywell Options, and enters into such additional
agreements as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or appropriate to
cancel such person’s right to exercise any Honeywell Options.

(i) The Option Price for a Replacement Option shall be
determined by the following formula:

	
  

  	
  A =

  	
  B X C

  	
   

  	 

	
   

  	
   

  	
  D

  	
   

  

 

Any fraction of a cent shall be rounded down (up in
the case of an incentive stock option) to the next full cent.

(ii) The number of shares of Stock for which the
Replacement Option is exercisable shall be determined in accordance with the
following formula:

	
  

  	
  Number of shares
  =

  	
  E(D - B)

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  C - A

  	
   

  

 

Any fractional share shall be rounded up (down in the
case of an incentive stock option) to the next full share.

(iii) In the foregoing formulas,

“A” is the Option Price,

“B” is the option exercise price for a Honeywell
Option,

“C” is the average of the fair market values of the
Stock for each of the first three consecutive trading days on which the Stock
is traded (regular way) on the New York Stock Exchange,

“D” is the fair market value of a share of Honeywell
stock on the Distribution Date (without giving effect to the Distribution (as
defined in the Distribution Agreement)), and

“E” is the number of shares of Honeywell stock for
which the Honeywell Option was exercisable.

Solely for purposes of this Article 16(b), the fair
market value of a security as of a date shall be the average of the high and
low sale prices of such security on such date (as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Tape).

 12
 

(iv) Each Replacement Option shall have the same terms
and conditions (other than the Option Price and the number of shares of Stock)
as, and not give the Grantee any benefits which he did not have under, the corresponding
Honeywell Option.

17. SECURITIES LAW
MATTERS

(a) If the Committee deems necessary to comply with
the Securities Act of 1933, the Committee may require a written investment
intent representation by the Grantee and may require that a restrictive legend
be affixed to certificates for shares of Stock.

(b) If based upon the opinion of counsel for the
Company, the Committee determines that the exercise or nonforfeitability of, or
delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Award would violate any applicable
provision of (i) federal or state securities law or (ii) the listing
requirements of any national securities exchange on which are listed any of the
Company’s equity securities, then the Committee may postpone any such exercise,
nonforfeitability or delivery, as the case may be, but the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery to
comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date. The Committee’s
authority under this Article 17(b) shall expire on the date of any Change of
Control.

18. FUNDING

Benefits payable under the Plan to any person shall be
paid directly by the Company. The Company shall not be required to fund, or
otherwise segregate assets to be used for payment of, benefits under the Plan.

19. NO EMPLOYMENT
RIGHTS

Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor the
granting of any Award shall be construed to (a) give any Grantee the right to
remain employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any benefits
not specifically provided by the Plan or (b) in any manner modify the right of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to modify, amend, or terminate any of
its employee benefit plans.

20. RIGHTS AS A
STOCKHOLDER

A Grantee shall not, by reason of any Award (other
than restricted stock) have any right as a stockholder of the Company with
respect to the shares of Stock which may be deliverable upon exercise or
payment of such Award until such shares have been delivered to him. Shares of
restricted stock held by a Grantee or held in escrow by the Secretary of the
Company shall confer on the Grantee all rights of a stockholder of the Company,
except as otherwise provided in the Plan. The Committee, in its discretion, at
the time of grant of restricted stock, may permit or require the payment of
cash dividends thereon to be deferred and, if the Committee so determines,
reinvested in additional restricted stock to the extent shares are available
under Article 3, or otherwise reinvested. Stock dividends and deferred cash
dividends issued with respect to restricted stock shall be treated as
additional shares of restricted stock that are subject to the same restrictions
and other terms as apply to the shares with respect to which such dividends are
issued. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide for crediting to and
payment of interest on deferred cash dividends.

21. NATURE OF
PAYMENTS

Any and all grants, payments of cash, or deliveries of
shares of Stock hereunder shall constitute special incentive payments to the
Grantee and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary
or compensation of the Grantee for the purposes of determining any pension,
retirement, death or other benefits under (a) any pension, retirement,
profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance or other employee benefit plan of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (b) any agreement between the Company or
any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Grantee, on the other hand, except as
such plan or agreement shall otherwise expressly provide.

 13
 

22. NON-UNIFORM
DETERMINATIONS

Neither the Committee’s nor the Board’s determinations
under the Plan need be uniform and may be made by the Committee or the Board
selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards
(whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other
things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, to enter into
non-uniform and selective Award Agreements as to (a) the identity of the
Grantees, (b) the terms and provisions of Awards, and (c) the treatment, under
Article 15, of Terminations of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee’s interpretation of Plan provisions shall be uniform as to similarly
situated Grantees.

23. ADJUSTMENTS

The Committee shall make equitable adjustment of:

(a) the aggregate numbers of shares of Stock,
performance shares, and stock appreciation rights, available under Articles
3(a) and 3(b),

(b) the number of shares of Stock, shares of
restricted stock or performance shares covered by an Award,

(c) the Option Price, and

(d) the Fair Market Value of Stock to be used to
determine the amount of the benefit payable upon exercise of stock appreciation
rights or performance units to reflect a stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split, share combination, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, asset
spin-off, reorganization or similar event of or by the Company.

24. AMENDMENT OF
THE PLAN

The Board may from time to time in its discretion
amend or modify the Plan without the approval of the stockholders of the
Company, except to the extent required by applicable law or national securities
exchange regulations, and except that, without stockholder approval, no
amendment or modification will (a) except as permitted by Article 23, increase
either (i) the aggregate number of shares of Stock made available and reserved
for delivery on account of the exercise of Awards and payment of benefits in
connection with Awards, as set forth in Article 3(a), or (ii) the maximum
number of stock appreciation rights and performance shares that may be issued
under the Plan, as set forth in Article 3(b), (b) increase the limitation set
forth in Article 6 (a) (iii) on the maximum number of shares of Stock that may
be covered by Awards to any one Grantee in any calendar year, (c) decrease the
minimum Option Price set forth in Article 6(b) (i), or (d) eliminate the
restriction against granting substitute Awards to Section 16 Grantees, as set
forth in Article 16(a). In addition, no amendment of modification will
adversely affect any of the rights of any Grantee, without such Grantee’s
consent, under any Award previously granted under the Plan.

25. TERMINATION OF
THE PLAN

The Plan shall terminate on such date as the Board may
determine. Any termination, whether in whole or in part, shall not affect any
Award then outstanding under the Plan.

26. NO ILLEGAL
TRANSACTIONS

The Plan and all Awards granted pursuant to it are
subject to all laws and regulations of any governmental authority which may be
applicable thereto; and notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award,
Grantees shall not be entitled to exercise Awards or receive the benefits
thereof and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Stock or pay any
benefits to a Grantee if such exercise, delivery, receipt or payment of
benefits would constitute a violation by the Grantee or the Company of any
provision of any such law or regulation.

 14
 

27. CONTROLLING
LAW

The law of the State of Minnesota, except its law with
respect to choice of law, shall be controlling in all matters relating to the
Plan.

28. SEVERABILITY

If all or any part of the Plan is declared by any
court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or
invalidity shall not serve to invalidate any portion of the Plan not declared
to be unlawful or invalid. Any Article or part of an Article so declared to be
unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will
give effect to the terms of such Article or part of an Article to the fullest
extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
