Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). A SAR is the right to receive a payment measured by the excess of the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Stock on the date on which the Participant exercises the SAR over the grant price of the SAR determined by the Committee, which shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine consistent with the provisions of the Plan, including the following:

	(iv)		No SAR granted after February 2, 2010 may be exercisable as to one-third of the shares of Stock underlying such SAR before the first anniversary of the date the SAR was granted, as to an additional one-third of the shares of Stock underlying such SAR before the second anniversary of the date the SAR was granted, and as to the balance of the shares of Stock underlying such SAR before the third anniversary of the date the SAR was granted, except, in each case, in the event of death, disability, retirement or a Change of Control.

Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock is Stock that is issued to a Participant subject to such restrictions on transfer and such other restrictions on incidents of ownership as the Committee may determine, which restrictions shall lapse at such time or times or upon the occurrence of such event or events as the Committee may determine, including but not limited to the achievement, over a specified period of time, of one or more specific goals with respect to performance of the Corporation, a business unit (which may but need not be a Subsidiary) of the Corporation or that Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Award of Restricted Stock granted after February 2, 2010 that is subject to restrictions that lapse solely over a specified period of time, no restrictions may lapse as to any portion of such Award before the first anniversary of the date such Award was granted, as to two-thirds of such Award before the second anniversary of the date such Award was granted, and as to one-third of such Award before the third anniversary of the date such Award was granted, except, in each case, in the event of death, disability, retirement or a Change of

Control. Subject to the specified restrictions, the Participant as owner of those shares of Restricted Stock shall have the rights of the holder thereof, except that the Committee may provide at the time of the Award that any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to that Stock while subject to those restrictions shall not be payable or shall be accumulated, with or without interest, or reinvested in Stock and held subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant and, at the Corporation’s sole discretion, shall be held in book entry form subject to the Corporation’s instructions or shall be evidenced by a certificate, which shall bear an appropriate restrictive legend, shall be subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders and shall be held in custody by the Corporation until the restrictions on those shares of Restricted Stock lapse.

	d.		Restricted Stock Unit. A Restricted Stock Unit is an Award of a right to receive at a specified future date an amount based on the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Stock on the payout date, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, including but not limited to the achievement, over a specified period of time, of one or more specific goals with respect to performance of the Corporation, a business unit (which may but need not be a Subsidiary) of the Corporation or the Participant to whom the Restricted Stock Units are granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Award of Restricted Stock Units granted after February 2, 2010 that provides for payout based solely on the passage of a specified period of time, no payout of such Award may be made as to any portion of such Award before the first anniversary of the date such Award was granted, as to two-thirds of such Award before the second anniversary of the date such Award was granted, and as to one-third of such Award before the third anniversary of the date such Award was granted, except, in each case, in the event of death, disability, retirement or a Change of Control. Restricted Stock Units that become payable in accordance with their terms and conditions shall be paid out in Stock, in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units on the payout date (or at the sole discretion of the Committee, the day immediately preceding that date) or partly in cash (as so based) and partly in Stock, as the Committee may determine. Any person who holds Restricted Stock Units shall have no ownership interest in any shares of Stock to which such Restricted Stock Units relate until and unless payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units is actually made in shares of Stock. The Committee may provide for no deemed accumulation of Dividend Equivalents or for the deemed accumulation of Dividend Equivalents in cash, with or without interest, or the deemed reinvestment of Dividend Equivalents in Stock held subject to the same conditions as the Restricted Stock Unit and/or such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

	e.		Performance Units. A Performance Unit is an Award denominated in cash, the amount of which may be based on the achievement, over a specified period of time, of one or more specific goals with respect to performance of the Corporation, a business unit (which may but need not be a Subsidiary) of the Corporation or the Participant to whom the Performance Units are granted. The amount that may be paid to any one Participant with respect to Performance Units shall not exceed $5 million for any one Performance Period. Performance Units that become payable in accordance with their terms and conditions shall be paid out in cash, in Stock valued at the Fair Market Value on the payout date (or at the sole discretion of the Committee, the day immediately preceding that date) or partly in cash and partly in Stock (as so valued), as the Committee may determine.

Performance Shares. A Performance Share is an Award of a right to receive at a specified future date an amount based on the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Stock on the payout date, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, including but not limited to the achievement, over a specified period of time, of one or more specific goals with respect to performance of the Corporation, a business unit (which may but need not be a Subsidiary) of the Corporation or the Participant to whom the Performance Shares are granted. Performance Shares that become payable in accordance with their terms and conditions shall be paid out in Stock, in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock underlying the Performance Shares on the payout date (or at the sole discretion of the Committee, the day immediately preceding that date) or partly in cash (as so based) and partly in Stock, as the Committee may determine. Any person who holds Performance Shares shall have no ownership interest in any shares of Stock to which such Performance Shares relate until and unless payment with respect to such Performance Shares is actually made in shares of Stock.

Performance Compensation Awards.

	(i)		The Committee may, at the time of grant of an Award (other than an Option or SAR) designate such Award as a “Performance Compensation Award” in order that such Award constitute qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m); *provided, however,* that no Performance Compensation Award may be granted to a Prospective Employee or an Employee who on the date of grant is a leased employee of, or a consultant to, the Corporation or a Subsidiary. With respect to each such Performance Compensation Award, the Committee shall (on or before the 90^th day of the applicable Performance Period or such other period as may be required by Code Section 162(m)) establish, in writing, a Performance Period, Performance Measure(s), Performance Goal(s) and Performance Formula(s). Once established for a Performance Period, such items shall not be amended or otherwise modified if and to the extent such amendment or modification would cause the compensation payable pursuant to the Award to fail to constitute qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m).

	(ii)		A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that the Performance Goal(s) for that Award are achieved and the Performance Formula as applied against such Performance Goal(s) determines that all or some portion of such Participant’s Award has been earned for the Performance Period. As soon as practicable after the close of each Performance Period, the Committee shall review and determine whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goal(s) for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, determine the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned by the Participant for such Performance Period based upon such Participant’s Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the actual amount of the Performance Compensation Award to be paid to the Participant and, in so doing, may in its sole discretion decrease, but not increase, the amount of the Award otherwise payable to the Participant based upon such performance. The maximum Performance Compensation Award for any one Participant for any one Performance Period shall be determined in accordance with Sections 4(e) and 5(g), as applicable.

Deferrals. The Committee may require or permit Participants to defer the issuance or vesting of shares of Stock or the settlement of Awards under such rules and procedures as it may establish under the Plan. The Committee may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest on the deferral amounts or the payment or crediting of Dividend Equivalents on deferred settlements in shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no deferral will be permitted if it will result in the Plan becoming an “employee pension benefit plan” under Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), that is not otherwise exempt under Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the Corporation that any deferral made under this Section 4(h) shall (A) satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 409A or (B) satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.

Other Section 409A Provisions. In addition to the provisions related to the deferral of Awards under the Plan set forth in Section 4(h) and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to Awards:

	(i)		To the extent not otherwise set forth in the Plan, it is the intent of the Corporation that the Award Agreement for each Award shall set forth (or shall incorporate by reference to the Corporation’s Deferred Compensation Plan) such terms and conditions as are necessary to (A) satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 409A or (B) satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.

	(ii)		Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intent of the Corporation that any payment of dividends on Restricted Stock or any payment of Dividend Equivalents on Restricted Stock Units shall (A) satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 409A or (B) satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, including without limitation, to the extent necessary, the establishment of a separate written arrangement providing for the payment of such dividends or Dividend Equivalents.

	(iii)		Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Corporation makes no representation that the Plan or any Award will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Plan or any Award.

	(iv)		Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of any Award that is subject to and not exempt from Section 409A, (i) all references to “Change of Control” (other than the references in Section 10(a)(ii)(x)) shall instead refer to “Change of Control that constitutes a “Section 409A Change of Control”, (ii) all references to “retirement” shall instead refer to “retirement that constitutes a Separation from Service”, and (iii) all references to a Participant’s employment being terminated shall instead be to the Participant’s Separation from Service.

Section 5: Stock Available under Plan

Subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 9 and the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate number of shares of Stock available for delivery pursuant to the Plan shall be 8.1 million plus any shares of Stock remaining available for delivery pursuant to the Prior Plan as of the date of approval of the Plan by the Corporation’s shareowners, of which no more than 1.8 million shares of Stock may be available for delivery pursuant to Awards granted in any form provided for under the Plan other than Options or SARs.

	b.		For purposes of this Section 5, if an Award (other than a Dividend Equivalent) is denominated in shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates (or in the case of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, the maximum number of shares of Stock deliverable pursuant thereto), shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of shares of Stock available for delivery pursuant to the Plan.

	c.		For purposes of this Section 5, Dividend Equivalents denominated in shares of Stock, dividends on Restricted Stock receivable in shares of Stock and Awards not denominated, but potentially payable, in shares of Stock shall be counted against the aggregate number of shares of Stock available for delivery pursuant to the Plan in such amount and at such time as the Dividend Equivalents, dividends and such Awards are settled in shares of Stock.

	d.		For purposes of this Section 5, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Awards that operate in tandem with (whether granted simultaneously with or at a different time from), or that are substituted for, other Awards or awards granted under the Prior Plan may only be counted once against the aggregate number of shares available for delivery pursuant to the Plan, and the Committee shall adopt procedures, as it deems appropriate, in order to avoid double counting.

	e.		For purposes of this Section 5, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than as provided in the following sentence), (i) any shares of Stock covered by or related to Awards or awards granted under the Prior Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance or delivery of such shares of Stock, are settled in cash in lieu of shares of Stock, or are exchanged with the Committee’s permission, prior to the issuance of shares of Stock, for Awards not involving shares of Stock, shall be available again for delivery pursuant to the Plan and (ii) with respect to any Award described in Section 5(b), upon exercise, settlement or payment thereof with shares of Stock in an amount less than the number of shares of Stock counted on the date of grant against the aggregate number of shares of Stock available for delivery pursuant to the Plan, a number of shares of Stock equal to such deficit shall be available again on the date of such exercise, settlement or payment for delivery pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) shares of Stock that are delivered to or withheld by the Corporation to pay all or any portion of the exercise price or withholding taxes under Awards or awards granted under the Prior Plan shall not be made available again for delivery pursuant to the Plan and (y) there shall be no adjustment to the number of shares of Stock available for delivery pursuant to the Plan upon the exercise or settlement of SARs in whole or in part in shares of Stock, regardless of the number of shares of stock issued or delivered in connection with such exercise or settlement.

	f.		For purposes of this Section 5, any shares of Stock that are delivered by the Corporation, and any Awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation, through the assumption by the Corporation or a Subsidiary of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired company, shall not be counted against the aggregate number of shares of Stock available for delivery pursuant to the Plan.

	g.		Subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 9, no single Participant shall receive Awards, in any fiscal year of the Corporation, in the form of (i) Options or SARs that would result in the number of shares of Stock that relate to Options, SARs and options to purchase Stock or stock appreciation rights under any other plan of the Corporation or a Subsidiary granted to such Participant during such fiscal year exceeding 650,000 shares; and (ii) Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares that would result in the number of shares of Stock granted as Restricted Stock, deliverable in payment of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares granted and granted as restricted stock or deliverable in payment of restricted stock units or performance shares granted under any other plan or program of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to such Participant during such fiscal year exceeding 250,000 shares.

	h.		The Stock that may be delivered on grant, exercise or settlement of an Award under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of shares held in treasury or authorized but unissued shares. At all times the Corporation will reserve and keep available a sufficient number of shares of Stock to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding Awards made under the Plan.

Section 6: Award Agreements

Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement shall set forth the terms and conditions applicable to the Award, including but not limited to (i) provisions for the time at which the Award becomes exercisable or otherwise vests; (ii) provisions for the treatment of the Award in the event of the termination of a Participant’s status as an Employee; (iii) any special provisions applicable in the event of an occurrence of a Change of Control, as determined by the Committee consistent with the provisions of the Plan; and (iv) in the Committee’s sole discretion, any additional provisions as may be necessary to (A) satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 409A or (B) satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.

Section 7: Amendment and Termination

The Board of Directors may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part; provided, however, that, without the approval of the shareowners of the Corporation, no such action shall (i) increase the number of shares of Stock available for delivery pursuant to the Plan as set forth in Section 5 (other than adjustments pursuant to Section 9), (ii) change the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan, (iii) amend Section 4(a)(v) to allow for accelerated exercisability of Awards of Options described in such clause, (iv) amend Section 4(b)(iv) to allow for accelerated exercisability of Awards of SARs described in such clause, (v) amend the second sentence of Section 4(c) to allow for accelerated lapses of restrictions on Awards of Restricted Stock described in such sentence, (vi) amend the second sentence of Section 4(d) to allow for accelerated payouts of Awards of Restricted Stock Units described in such sentence, or (vii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, or otherwise be effective to the extent that such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan, including applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 9, no such action shall impair the rights of any holder of an Award without the holder’s consent. The Committee may, subject to the Plan, at any time alter or amend any or all Award Agreements to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that, subject to Section 9, (A) no such alteration or amendment shall impair the rights of any holder of an Award without the holder’s consent and (B) without the approval of the shareowners of the Corporation, no such alteration or amendment shall accelerate (x) the exercisability of an Award of Options or SARs, (y) the lapse of restrictions on an Award of Restricted Stock or (z) the payout of an Award of Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units or Performance Shares, except, in each case described in this clause (B), in the event of death, disability, retirement or a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Board of Directors nor the Committee shall (except pursuant to Section 9) amend the Plan or any Award Agreement to reprice any Option or SAR whose exercise price is above the then Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Award, whether by decreasing the exercise price, canceling the Award and granting a substitute Award, repurchasing the Award for cash, or otherwise.

Section 8: Administration

	a.		The Plan and all Awards shall be administered by the Committee.

	b.		Any member of the Committee who, at the time of any proposed grant of one or more Awards, is not both an “outside director” as defined for purposes of Code Section 162(m) and a “Non-Employee Director” as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3)(i) under the Exchange Act shall abstain from and take no part in the Committee’s action on the proposed grant.

	c.		The Committee shall have full and complete authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to exercise all of the powers granted to it under the Plan, (ii) to construe, interpret and implement the Plan and any related document, (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the Plan, (iv) to make all determinations necessary or advisable in administering the Plan, and (v) to correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan. The actions and determinations of the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan and any Awards will be final and conclusive. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among Employees or Prospective Employees who receive, or who are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

	d.		The Committee and others to whom the Committee has delegated such duties shall keep a record of all their proceedings and actions and shall maintain all such books of account, records and other data as shall be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.

	e.		The Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses of administering the Plan, including but not limited to the payment of professional fees.

	f.		It is the intent of the Corporation that the Plan and Awards hereunder satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfy: (i) in the case of Participants who are or may be Executive Officers, the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, so that such persons will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3, or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subjected to avoidable liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; (ii) in the case of Performance Compensation Awards to Covered Employees, the applicable requirements of Code Section 162(m); and (iii) either the requirements for exemption under Section 409A or the requirements of Section 409A. If any provision of the Plan or of any Award Agreement would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 8(f), that provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict. To the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict with such intent and to the extent legally permitted, such provision shall be deemed void as to the applicable Participant.

	g.		The Committee may appoint such accountants, counsel, and other experts as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Plan.

The Committee may delegate, and revoke the delegation of, all or any portion of its authority and powers under the Plan to the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, except that the Committee may not delegate any discretionary authority with respect to Awards granted to the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or substantive decisions or functions regarding the Plan or Awards to the extent inconsistent with the intent expressed in Section 8(f) or to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

Section 9: Adjustment Provisions

	a.		In the event of any change in or affecting the outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a stock dividend or split, merger or consolidation (whether or not the Corporation is a surviving corporation), recapitalization, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate changes or an extraordinary dividend in cash, securities or other property, the Board of Directors shall make such amendments to the Plan and outstanding Awards and Award Agreements and make such equitable and other adjustments and take such actions thereunder as are applicable under the circumstances. Such equitable adjustments as they relate to outstanding Awards shall be required to ensure that the intrinsic value of each outstanding Award immediately after any of the aforementioned events is equal to the intrinsic value of each outstanding Award immediately prior to any of such aforementioned events. Such amendments, adjustments and actions shall include, without limitation, as applicable, changes in the number of shares of Stock then remaining available for delivery pursuant to the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be granted or delivered as or in payment of Awards to any single Participant pursuant to the Plan, including those that are then covered by outstanding Awards, the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Awards, the Option exercise price under outstanding Options and the SAR grant price under outstanding SARs, and accelerating the vesting of outstanding Awards.

	b.		The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board of Directors or the shareowners of the Corporation to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in its capital structure, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, any dividend of Stock, cash, securities or other property, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

Section 10: Miscellaneous

Change of Control. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of an Award, and except as is necessary to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 409A or the requirements of Section 409A:

(i)

in the case of all Awards (other than Awards granted to Executive Officers after February 2, 2010), upon a Change of Control, all outstanding Options and SARs will become vested and exercisable; all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse; all performance goals applicable to Awards will be deemed achieved at levels determined by the Committee and all other terms and conditions met; all Performance Units, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares will be paid out as promptly as practicable; and all other Awards will be delivered or paid; and

(ii)

in the case of Awards granted to Executive Officers after February 2, 2010, (x) if (A) a Change of Control occurs, (B) all such Awards that are outstanding are assumed or substituted with comparable awards by the successor corporation in such Change of Control or its parent corporation and (C) within two years of such Change of Control the Executive Officer’s employment is terminated (1) by reason of death or disability, (2) by the Executive Officer for a Change of Control Good Reason or (3) by the Corporation other than for Cause or (y) if (A) a Change of Control occurs and (B) all such Awards that are outstanding are not assumed or substituted with comparable awards by the successor corporation in such Change of Control or its parent corporation, all outstanding Options and SARs (and, in the case of clause (x), any substituted awards of options or stock appreciation rights) will become vested and exercisable; all restrictions on Restricted Stock (and, in the case of clause (x), any substituted awards of restricted stock) will lapse; all performance goals applicable to Awards (and, in the case of clause (x), any substituted awards) will be deemed achieved at levels determined by the Committee and all other terms and conditions met; all Performance Units, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares (and, in the case of clause (x), any substituted awards of performance units, restricted stock units or performance shares) will be paid out as promptly as practicable; and all other Awards (and, in the case of clause (x), any other substituted awards) will be delivered or paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Award that is subject to and not exempt from Section 409A, any payment of amounts or delivery of shares under such Awards will be paid promptly and in any event within ninety (90) days of such Change of Control in the case of subclauses (i) and (ii)(y) above and within ninety (90) days of the Participant’s Separation from Service in the case of clause (ii)(x) above.

	b.		Nonassignability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall be assignable or transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall an Award be transferrable for value or consideration to the Participant.

	c.		Other Payments or Awards. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Corporation or a Subsidiary from making any award or payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect.

	d.		Payments to Other Persons. If payments are legally required to be made to any person other than the person to whom any payment is provided to be made under the Plan, then payments shall be made accordingly; *provided however,* to the extent that such payments would cause an Award to fail to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 409A or the requirements of Section 409A, the Committee may determine in its sole discretion not to make such payments in such manner. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability hereunder.

	e.		Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. No provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall require the Corporation or a Subsidiary, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Corporation or a Subsidiary maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under generally applicable law.

	f.		Limits of Liability. Any liability of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to any Participant with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created by the Plan and the Award Agreement related thereto. Neither the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, nor any member of the Board of Directors or of the Committee, nor any other person participating in any determination of any question under the Plan, or in the interpretation, administration or application of the Plan, shall have any liability to any party for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith under the Plan.

	g.		Rights of Employees and Prospective Employees. Status as an eligible Employee or Prospective Employee shall not be construed as a commitment that any Award shall be made under the Plan to such eligible Employee or Prospective Employee or to eligible Employees or Prospective Employees generally. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Employee or Prospective Employee any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Corporation or a Subsidiary or constitute any contract of employment or limit in any way the right of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to change such person’s compensation or other benefits or to terminate the employment or other service of such person with or without cause. A transfer of an Employee from the Corporation to a Subsidiary, or vice versa, or from one Subsidiary to another, and a leave of absence, duly authorized by the Corporation, shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other service; *provided, however,* that, to the extent that Section 409A is applicable to an Award, Section 409A’s definition of “separation of service”, to the extent contradictory, may apply to determine when a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution upon termination of employment.

	h.		Rights as a Shareowner. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareowner with respect to any Stock covered by an Award until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record thereof. Except as provided in Section 9, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights, unless the Award Agreement specifically requires such adjustment.

	i.		Withholding. Applicable taxes, to the extent required by law, shall be withheld in respect of all Awards. A Participant may satisfy the withholding obligation by paying the amount of any taxes in cash or, with the approval of the Committee, shares of Stock may be delivered to the Corporation or deducted from the payment to satisfy the obligation in full or in part. The amount of the withholding and the number of shares of Stock to be delivered to the Corporation or deducted in satisfaction of the withholding requirement shall be determined by the Corporation with reference to the Fair Market Value of the Stock when the withholding is required to be made; *provided, however,* that the amount of withholding to be paid in respect of Options exercised through the cashless method in which shares of Stock for which the Options are exercised are immediately sold may be determined by reference to the price at which said shares are sold. The Corporation shall have no obligation to deliver any Stock pursuant to the grant or settlement of any Award until it has been reimbursed for all required withholding taxes.

	j.		Section Headings. The section headings contained herein are for the purpose of convenience only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than the section headings, shall control.

	k.		Construction. In interpreting the Plan, the masculine gender shall include the feminine, the neuter gender shall include the masculine or feminine, and the singular shall include the plural unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Any reference to a statutory provision or a rule under a statute shall be deemed a reference to that provision or any successor provision unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

	l.		Invalidity. If any term or provision contained herein or in any Award Agreement shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, such term or provision will be reformed so that it is valid, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part thereof.

	m.		Applicable Law. The Plan, the Award Agreements and all actions taken hereunder or thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof.

	n.		Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be required to sell, issue or deliver shares of Stock hereunder or thereunder if the sale, issuance or delivery thereof would constitute a violation by the Participant or the Corporation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange; and as a condition of any sale or issuance the Corporation may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Corporation may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation.

	o.		Supplementary Plans. The Committee may authorize supplementary plans applicable to Employees or Prospective Employees subject to the tax laws of one or more countries other than the United States and providing for the grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units or Performance Shares to such Employees or Prospective Employees on terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, determined by the Committee, which may differ from the terms and conditions of other Awards pursuant to the Plan for the purpose of complying with the conditions for qualification of Awards for favorable treatment under foreign tax laws. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Options granted under any supplementary plan shall include provisions that conform with Sections 4(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); SARs granted under any supplementary plan shall include provisions that conform with Section 4(b); Restricted Stock granted under any supplementary plan shall include provisions that conform with Section 4(c); Restricted Stock Units granted under any supplementary plan shall include provisions that conform with Section 4(d); Performance Units granted under any supplementary plan shall include provisions that conform with Section 4(e) and Performance Shares granted under any supplementary plan shall include provisions that conform with Section 4(f).

	p.		Effective Date and Term. The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on December 5, 2007 and will become effective upon approval by the Corporation’s shareowners. The Plan shall remain in effect until all Awards under the Plan have been exercised or terminated under the terms of the Plan and applicable Award Agreements; *provided, however,* that Awards under the Plan may be granted only within ten (10) years from the effective date of the Plan.
