If the Participant does not exercise such Option within the time specified, the Option (to the extent not exercised) shall automatically terminate.  

		
	10.

	Restrictions and Performance Criteria.  Stock Awards shall vest at such time and in such installments as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in the case of Stock Awards issued to corporate officers and Employees designated as “Group Presidents,” the vesting of Stock Awards may be subject to the attainment of performance goals, including attainment of certain levels of Total Shareholder Return of the Company relative to Total Shareholder Return of a peer group of companies.

For the purposes of this subsection, a company (other than an Affiliate) which is engaged in the business of producing, leasing or selling products or providing services of the type now or at any time hereafter made or provided by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed to compete with the Company;

For purposes of this Plan, the Awardee shall not be required to devote a major portion of time to such services and shall be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services.

whether the Awardee ceases to be an Employee because of such work force restructuring shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.  
		
	(g)
	Rights as a Shareholder.  The Participant shall have the rights equivalent to those of a shareholder and shall be a shareholder only after Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) to the Participant.  

		
	12.
	Other Provisions Applicable to Awards.  

		
	(a)
	Non-Transferability of Awards.  Unless provided otherwise in an Award Agreement, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by beneficiary designation, will or by the laws of descent or distribution.  

		
	(b)
	Certification.  Prior to the payment of any compensation under an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall certify the extent to which any performance criteria and any other material terms under such Award have been satisfied (other than in cases where such relate solely to the increase in the value of the Common Stock).  

		
	13.
	Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale.  

		
	(a)
	Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, (i) the number and kind of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, (ii) the price per Share subject to each such outstanding Award and (iii) the Share limitations set forth in Section 3, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number or kind of issued shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award.  

		
	(b)
	Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.  The Committee in its discretion may provide for an Option to be fully vested and exercisable until ten (10) days prior to such transaction.  In addition, the Committee may provide that any restrictions on any Award shall lapse prior to the transaction, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.  

		
	(c)
	Change in Control.  In the event there is a Change in Control of the Company, as determined by the Committee, the Committee may, in its discretion, (i) provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment to, each outstanding Award; (ii) accelerate the vesting of Options and terminate any restrictions on Stock Awards; and (iii) provide for the cancellation of Awards in exchange for a cash payment to the Participant.  

		
	14.
	Amendment and Termination of the Plan.  

		
	(a)
	Amendment and Termination.  The Committee may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan or any Award Agreement, but any such amendment shall be subject to approval of the shareowners of the Company in the manner and to the extent required by applicable law (including applicable stock exchange requirements).  In addition, without limiting the foregoing, unless approved by the shareowners of the Company, no such amendment shall be made that would: 

		
	(i)
	materially increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan, other than an increase pursuant to Section 13; 

		
	(ii)
	reduce the minimum exercise price for Options granted under the Plan; 

		
	(iii)
	reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options; or 

		
	(iv)
	change the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.  

		
	(b)
	Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Award, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Committee, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.  Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Committee's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.  

		
	(c)
	Effect of the Plan on Other Arrangements.  Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board or the Committee nor the submission of the Plan to the shareowners of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it or they may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.  

		
	15.
	Designation of Beneficiary.  

		
	(a)
	An Awardee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive the Awardee's rights pursuant to Awardee's Award or the Awardee may include his or her Awards in an omnibus beneficiary designation for all benefits under the Plan.  To the extent that Awardee has completed a designation of beneficiary, such beneficiary designation shall remain in effect with respect to any Award hereunder until changed by the Awardee to the extent enforceable under applicable law.  

		
	(b)
	Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Awardee at any time by written notice in a form approved by the Committee.  In the event of the death of an Awardee and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Awardee's death, the Company shall allow the executor or administrator of the estate of the Awardee to exercise the Award, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may allow the spouse or one of the dependents or relatives of the Awardee to exercise the Award to the extent permissible under Applicable Law.
