together with a written promise by the Participant to retain the shares for the Holding Period, then the Corporation will grant the Participant a designated number of RSUs for each Newly Acquired Share so acquired as specified in the Participant’s Award Letter, up to the maximum number of RSUs also specified in the Participant’s Award Letter.

	
  

	
3.1

	
Minimum Number of Newly Acquired Shares–The minimum number of Newly Acquired Shares pursuant to market purchase or stock option exercise that will be matched by RSUs at one time is the lesser of 500 shares or the amount required to complete the award.  The Participant may accumulate purchases, and when the total number of accumulated shares is equal to or exceeds 500 shares or the amount required to complete the award, the Participant may then request that matching RSUs be granted.  There is no minimum number of Newly Acquired Shares pursuant to deferral of economic value added incentive compensation that will be matched at one time.

	
  

	
3.2

	
Granting of Restricted Stock Units–The RSUs will be granted on the 15th of each month provided the documentation required in this Section 3 is received on or before the 5th of that month, otherwise it will be granted the following month.  If the 15th occurs on a holiday or weekend, the RSUs will be issued on the workday immediately prior to that holiday or weekend.

4.           Holding Period for the Newly Acquired Shares

The Participant must agree that the Newly Acquired Shares for which the RSUs were granted will not be sold, transferred, or diversified, prior to the lapse of restrictions on the matching RSUs.  A pledge of Newly Acquired Shares as collateral for any loan during the Holding Period is not considered to be a sale or transfer of the shares for purposes of this Program; however, in the event of default on the loan during the Holding Period, the Newly Acquired Shares will be considered to be sold and the matching RSUs will be forfeited.

5.           Lapse of Restrictions

	
  

	
5.1

6.           Additional Cash Payment

The Participant also will receive a dividend equivalent, if any, payable with respect to the RSUs from the date of grant until restrictions lapse.

7.           Retirement, Disability or Death

	
  

	
7.1

	
Early Retirement–Participants who retire pursuant to early retirement before restrictions lapse on RSUs granted under this Program will receive a prorated portion of their outstanding RSUs and the restrictions on the prorated units will lapse.  Fractional units will be rounded up at proration.

7.3

	
Disability or Death–Restrictions on the RSUs outstanding at death or disability will lapse and Ball Corporation common stock will be issued to the participant or the participant’s estate or beneficiary.

8.           Forfeiture

All rights in and to any and all RSUs granted pursuant to this Program which have not had restrictions lapse as described above in this Program, shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s termination from the Corporation, except as provided for in Section 7.  In addition, any RSUs granted pursuant to this Program shall be forfeited if the Newly Acquired Shares to which the RSUs relate are sold or transferred by the Participant prior to the lapse of restrictions on such RSUs.  For each RSU for which the restrictions have lapsed, the holding period requirement for the Newly Acquired Shares for which the RSUs were granted shall also end.

9.           Defer Release of Restricted Stock Units

Participants may be given the opportunity to elect to defer release of RSUs where allowed by laws of the country that apply to the Participant.  Such opportunity to defer is not guaranteed.

If deferral is permitted, participants in the Program may defer RSUs granted under this Program into the Ball Corporation 2005 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan (the “Deferred Stock Plan”) or its successor by making an election to defer within 30 days of the RSU grant date.  If a Participant elects to defer, Units will be credited to the Participant’s designated account(s) in the Deferred Stock Plan or its successor upon lapse.  Upon deferral, the Unit may be eligible for a Corporation Matching Contribution under the Deferred Stock Plan or its successor.  Restrictions and the Participant’s rights with respect to such Units will be determined under the terms of the Program.  The actual deferral of the RSUs will not occur until restrictions lapse on the RSUs.

10.5

	
Employment or Future Eligibility to Participate Not Guaranteed–Nothing contained in this Program nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation.
