2. Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee of the Board, composed solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors, who shall be appointed by the Board and who shall serve at the pleasure of the Board. If at any time no Committee shall be in office, the functions of the Committee specified in the Plan shall be exercised by the Board.  Any member of the Compensation Committee who is not an “outside” director under Treasury Regulation section 1.162-27(e)(3) shall be recused from all matters involving grants to Covered Employees (within the meaning of Code section 162(m)) of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan.

The Committee shall have plenary authority to grant to eligible Service Providers, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock.

In particular, the Committee shall have the authority, subject to the terms of the Plan:

(a) to select the Service Providers to whom Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock may from time to time be granted;

(b) to determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options, Non‑Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock or any combination thereof are to be granted hereunder; provided, however, Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to Non-Employee Directors,

(c) to determine the number of shares to be covered by each award granted hereunder,

(d) to determine the terms and conditions of any award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the share price, any restriction or limitation and any vesting acceleration or forfeiture waiver regarding any Stock Option or other award and the shares of Stock relating thereto, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine);

(e) to adjust the performance goals and measurements applicable to performance‑based awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan;

(f) to determine under what circumstances a Stock Option may be settled in cash or Restricted Stock under Section 5(k); and

(g) to determine to what extent and under what circumstances Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an award shall be deferred.

The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable, to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and any agreement relating thereto) and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office, except that the members thereof may authorize any one or more of their number or any Officer to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee.

Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan with respect to any award shall be made in its sole discretion at the time of the grant of the award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan, at any time thereafter.  All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan participants.

3. Stock Subject to Plan.  The total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for distribution under the Plan shall be 1,850,000 shares.  Such shares may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.

Subject to Section 6(b)(iv), if any shares of Stock that have been optioned cease to be subject to a Stock Option, if any shares of Stock that are subject to a Restricted Stock award are forfeited or if any Stock Option or other award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the participant in the form of Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with awards under the Plan.

2

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, such substitution or adjustments shall be made in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, in the number and option price of shares subject to outstanding Stock Options and in the number of shares subject to other outstanding awards granted under the Plan as may be determined to be appropriate by the Board, in its sole discretion and in compliance with Code section 409A; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any award shall always be a whole number.  Such adjusted option price shall also be used to determine the amount payable by the Company upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right associated with any Stock Option.

4. Eligibility.  Service Providers of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and profitability of the business of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates are eligible to be granted awards under the Plan; provided, however, Non-Employee Directors are not eligible to receive awards of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan.

5. Stock Options.  Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan and may be of two types:  Incentive Stock Options and Non‑Qualified Stock Options.  Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve.

Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Committee shall have the authority to grant to any optionee Incentive Stock Options, Non‑Qualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights); provided, however, Non-Employee Directors are not eligible to receive awards of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan.

Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code) and shall not be granted ten years after the earlier of (i) the date the Board of Directors adopts the Plan (as amended and restated) or (ii) the date the shareholders of the Company approve the Plan (as amended and restated).  To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a separate Non‑Qualified Stock Option.

Stock Options shall be evidenced by option agreements, the terms and provisions of which may differ.  An option agreement shall indicate on its face whether it is an agreement for Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options.  The grant of a Stock Option shall occur on the date the Committee by resolution selects a Service Provider as a participant in any grant of Stock Options, determines the number of Stock Options to be granted to such Service Provider and specifies the terms and provisions of the option agreement.  The Company shall notify a participant of any grant of Stock Options, and a written option agreement or agreements shall be duly executed and delivered by the Company.

Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the optionee affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.

Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem desirable:

(a) Option Price.  The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock at time of grant or such higher price as shall be determined by the Committee at grant.

(b) Option Term.  The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted, and no Non‑Qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years and one day after the date the Option is granted.

(c) Exercisability.  Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee.  If the Committee provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine.

(d) Method of Exercise.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the option period by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased.

3

Such notice shall be accompanied by the payment in full of the purchase price for such shares or, to the extent authorized by the Committee, by irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly pay to the Company in full the purchase price for such shares.  Such payment shall be made in cash, outstanding shares of Stock, in combinations thereof, or any other method of payment approved by the Committee; provided, however, that the deposit of any withholding tax shall be made in accordance with applicable law.  If shares of Stock are being used in part or full payment for the shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option, such shares shall be valued for the purpose of such exchange as of the date of exercise of the Stock Option at the Fair Market Value of the shares.  Any certificates evidencing shares of Stock used to pay the purchase price shall be accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank by the registered holder of the certificate (with signatures thereon guaranteed).  In the event the certificates tendered by the holder in such payment cover more shares than are required for such payment, the certificate shall also be accompanied by instructions from the holder to the Company's transfer agent with regard to the disposition of the balance of the shares covered thereby.

If payment of the option exercise price of a Non‑Qualified Stock Option is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock, such Restricted Stock (and any replacement shares relating thereto) shall remain (or be) restricted in accordance with the original terms of the Restricted Stock award in question, and any additional Stock received upon the exercise shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made.  Subject to any forfeiture restrictions that may apply if a Stock Option is exercised using Restricted Stock, an optionee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends, with respect to shares subject to the Stock Option when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has given the representation described in Section 12(a).

(e) Non‑transferability of Options.  No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee other than by will or by laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of the optionee, it being understood that the terms “holder” and “optionee” include the guardian and legal representative of the optionee named in the option agreement and any person to whom an option is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(f) Termination by Death.  Subject to Section 5(j), if an optionee's status as a Service Provider terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Committee may specify) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

(g) Termination by Reason of Disability.  Subject to Section 5(j), if an optionee's status as a Service Provider terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of three years (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such termination as a Service Provider or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that, if the optionee dies within such three‑year period (or such shorter period), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such three‑year (or such shorter) period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. With respect to an Employee, in the event of termination of employment by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non‑Qualified Stock Option.

(h) Termination by Reason of Retirement.  Subject to Section 5(j), if an Employee optionee's employment terminates by reason of Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of three years (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter, provided, however, that, if the optionee dies within such three‑year (or such shorter) period any unexercised Stock option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such three‑year (or such shorter) period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.  In the event of termination of employment by reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non‑Qualified Stock Option.

(i) Other Termination.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if an optionee's status as a Service provider terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, the Stock Option shall thereupon terminate, except that such Stock Option, to the extent then exercisable, may be exercised for the lesser of three months following such termination or the balance of such Stock Option's term in the event the Service Provider is not an Employee and may be exercised for the lesser of three months

4

or the balance of such Stock Option's term if the optionee is an Employee and is involuntarily terminated by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate without cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an optionee's status as a Service Provider terminates at or after a Change in Control (as defined in Section 8(b)), other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee shall be exercisable for the lesser of (x) six months and one day, and (y) the balance of such Stock Option's term pursuant to Section 5(b).  In the event of termination of employment at or after a Change in Control, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non‑Qualified Stock Option.

(j) Incentive Stock Option Limitations.  To the extent required for “incentive stock option” status under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the optionee during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of any subsidiary or parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) shall not exceed $100,000.

The Committee is authorized to provide at grant that, to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code, if a participant's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated by reason of death, Disability or Retirement and the portion of any Incentive Stock Option that is otherwise exercisable during the post‑termination period specified under Sections 5(f), (g), or (h), applied without regard to this Section 5(j), is greater than the portion of such option that is exercisable as an “incentive stock option” during such post‑termination period under Section 422, such post‑termination period shall automatically be extended (but not beyond the original option term) to the extent necessary to permit the optionee to exercise such Incentive Stock Option (either as an Incentive Stock Option or, if exercised after the expiration periods that apply for the purposes of Section 422, as a Non‑Qualified Stock Option).

(k) Cashing Out of Option; Settlement of Spread Value in Restricted Stock.  On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of any Stock Option to be exercised by paying the optionee an amount, in cash or Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Stock over the option price (the “Spread Value”) on the effective date of such cash out.

Cash outs relating to options held by optionees who are actually or potentially subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall comply with the provisions of Rule 16b‑3, to the extent applicable.

In addition, if the option agreement so provides at grant or is amended after grant and prior to exercise to so provide (with the optionee's consent), the Committee may require that all or part of the shares to be issued with respect to the Spread Value payable in the event of a cash out of an unexercised Stock Option or the Spread Value portion of an exercised Stock Option take the form of Restricted Stock, which shall be valued on the date of exercise on the basis of the Fair Market Value of such Restricted Stock, determined without regard to the forfeiture restrictions involved.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, upon a Change in Control (as defined in Section 8(b)) other than a Change in Control specified in clause (i) of Section 8(b) arising as a result of beneficial ownership (as defined therein) by the Plan participant of Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities (as such terms are defined below), in the case of Stock Options other than Stock Options held by an Officer or Director of the Company (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) which were granted less than six months prior to the Change in Control, during the 60‑day period from and after a Change in Control (the “Exercise Period”), unless the Committee shall determine otherwise at the time of grant, an optionee shall have the right, in lieu of the payment of the exercise price of the shares of Stock being purchased under the Stock Option and by giving notice to the Company, to elect (within the Exercise Period) to surrender all or part of the Stock Option to the Company and to receive cash, within 30 days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount by which the “Change in Control Price” (as defined in Section 8(c)) per share of Stock on the date of such election shall exceed the exercise price per share of Stock under the Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares of Stock granted under the Stock Option as to which the right granted under this Section 5(k) shall have been exercised.

(l) Leveraged Stock Options.  Any of the shares of Stock reserved and available for distribution under the Plan may be used for grants of “Leveraged Stock Options” pursuant to the Company's Leveraged Stock Option Program described below (the “LSO Program”).

(i) Objectives.  The LSO Program is designed to build upon the Company's Economic Value Added Bonus Plan (“EVA Plan”) by tying the interests of certain senior executives (“Senior Executives”) to the long term consolidated results of the Company.  In this way, the objectives of Senior Executives will be more closely aligned with the Company's shareholders.  Whereas the EVA Plan provides for near and intermediate term rewards, the LSO Program provides a longer term focus by allowing Senior Executives to participate in the long‑term appreciation in the equity value of the Company.  In general, the LSO Program is structured such that each year an amount equivalent to the Total Bonus Payout under the EVA Plan is invested on behalf of Senior Executives in options on the Company's Stock (“LSOs”).  These LSOs become exercisable after they have been held for three years, and they expire at the end of ten years.  The LSO Program is also structured so that a fair return must be provided to the Company's shareholders before the options become valuable.

5

(ii) Leveraged Stock Option Grant.  For fiscal 1995 and subsequent years, the dollar amount to be invested in LSOs for each Senior Executive shall be equal to the amount of each Senior Executive's Total Bonus Payout determined under the EVA Plan effective for the applicable fiscal year. The number of LSOs awarded shall be determined by dividing (a) the dollar amount of such LSO award by (b) 10% of the Fair Market Value of Company Stock on the date of the grant, as determined by the Committee, rounded (up or down) to the nearest 10 shares.

(iii) Term.  All LSOs shall be exercisable beginning on the third anniversary of the date of grant, and shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant unless sooner exercised, unless the Committee determines other dates.

(iv) Exercise Price.  The exercise price for LSOs shall be the product of 90% of the Fair Market Value per share as determined above, times the sum taken to the fifth (5th) power of (a) 1, plus (b) the Estimated Annual Growth Rate, but in no event may the exercise price be less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant.  The Estimated Annual Growth Rate is the average daily closing 10‑year U.S. Treasury note yield rate for the month of April immediately preceding the relevant Plan year, plus 2%. So,

Exercise Price = (.9 X FMV) X (1 + Estimated Annual Growth Rate)5

(v) Limitations on LSO Grants and Carryover.  Notwithstanding subsection (l)(ii) above, the maximum number of LSOs that may be granted to all Senior Executives for any Plan year, shall be 40,000.  In the event that the 40,000 limitation shall be in effect for any Plan year, the dollar amount to be invested for each Senior Executive shall be reduced by proration based on the aggregate Total Bonus Payouts of all Senior Executives so that the limitation is not exceeded.  The amount of any such reduction shall be carried forward to subsequent years and invested in LSOs to the extent the annual limitation is not exceeded in such years.  LSOs may not be awarded to Non-Employee Directors under the Plan.

(vi) The Plan.  Except as modified herein, LSOs are Incentive Stock Options to the extent they are eligible for treatment as such under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.  If not eligible for Incentive Stock Option treatment, the LSOs shall constitute Non‑Qualified Stock Options.  Except as specifically modified herein, LSOs shall be governed by the terms of the Plan.

(m) Stock Option Limit.  The following limitations will apply to grants of Stock Options under Section 5 this Plan and Stock Appreciation Rights under Section 6 of this Plan to Covered Employees:

(i) No Covered Employee will be granted Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan to receive more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock in any Company fiscal year, provided that the Company may make an additional one‑time grant of up to 10,000 shares to newly hired Covered Employees.

The foregoing limitations are intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights so as to qualify such awards as “performance‑based compensation” within the meaning of Code section 162(m).  In the event that the Committee determines that such limitations are not required to qualify Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as performance‑based compensation, the Committee may modify or eliminate such limitations in its discretion.

6. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Grant and Exercise.  Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the Plan, and such rights may be granted only at the time of grant of such Stock Option.  No Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to a Non-Employee Director if granted in conjunction with an Incentive Stock Option.

A Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted with respect to a given Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option, except that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, a Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by a related Stock Option shall not be reduced until the number of shares covered by an exercise or termination of the related Stock Option exceeds the number of shares not covered by the Stock Appreciation Right.

A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an optionee in accordance with Section 6(b) by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.  Upon such exercise and surrender, the optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 6(b).  Stock Options which have been so surrendered shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised.

6

(b) Terms and Conditions.  Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, including the following:

(i) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and this Section 6.

(ii) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of Stock or both equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock over the option price per share specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment.

In the case of Stock Appreciation Rights relating to Stock Options held by optionees who are actually or potentially subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Committee may require that such Stock Appreciation Rights be exercised only in accordance with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b‑3.

(iii) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent that the underlying Stock Option would be transferable under Section 5(e).

(iv) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option or part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Section 3 on the number of shares of Stock to be issued under the Plan, but only to the extent of the number of shares issued under the Stock Appreciation Right at the time of exercise based on the value of the Stock Appreciation Right at such time.

7. Restricted Stock.

(a) Administration.  Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan.  The Committee shall determine the Service Providers to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the awards, in addition to those contained in Section 7(c).

The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors or criteria as the Committee shall determine.  The provisions of Restricted Stock awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

(b) Awards and Certificates.  Each participant receiving a Restricted Stock award shall be issued a certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock.  Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such award, substantially in the following form:

“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION Stock Incentive Plan. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION, 3333 West Good Hope Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53209‑2043.”

The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Restricted Stock award, the participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such award.

(c) Terms and Conditions.  Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and, conditions:

(i) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement referred to in Section 7(c)(vii), during a period set by the Committee, commencing with the date of such award (the “Restriction Period”), the participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock.  Within these limits and subject to Section 7(c)(iv), the Committee may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions, in whole or in part, based on service, performance and such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine.

(ii) Except as provided in this paragraph (ii), and Section 7(c)(i), the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares, other than, except as determined by the Committee, the right to receive any cash dividends.  The Committee, at the time of the award, shall determine whether any unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to cash dividends or whether such cash dividends shall be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock.  Any dividends payable on the Restricted Stock in the form of Stock shall be paid in the form of Restricted Stock and shall be immediately subject to the same forfeiture and other provisions of this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent as the shares of Restricted Stock.

7

(iii) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and Sections 7(c)(i) and (iv), upon termination of a participant's status as a Service Provider for any reason during the Restriction Period, all shares still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the participant.

(iv) Except to the extent that an award of Restricted Stock is issued in lieu of cash compensation or in settlement of the spread value of Stock Options pursuant to Section 5(k), the Restriction Period for any grant of shares of Restricted Stock under this Plan shall comply with the following:  (A) with respect to shares of Restricted Stock that vest or otherwise become unrestricted based upon the participant's continued status as a Service Provider with the Company, the minimum Restriction Period shall be three years from the date of grant and after the end of such three year period the restrictions may lapse as to shares of Restricted Stock either immediately or in installments as determined by the Committee; and (B) at the discretion of the Committee, the remaining restrictions may be waived or lapse prior to the end of the Restriction Period in the event of the participant's death, Disability or Retirement or in connection with certain transactions that may involve a Change in Control as provided in Section 8 of this Plan.  Shares of Restricted Stock that are awarded in lieu of cash compensation or pursuant to Section 5(k) may have any Restriction Period as may be determined by the Committee.  For purposes of this Section 7(c)(iv), shares of Restricted Stock shall be deemed to have been awarded in lieu of cash compensation to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Restricted Stock on the date of grant is not greater than the amount of any cash compensation that the participant agrees to forego as a condition to the grant.

9. Amendments and Termination.  The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made (i) which would impair the rights of an optionee under a Stock Option or a recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right or Restricted Stock award theretofore granted without the optionee's or recipient's consent or (ii) which, without the approval of the Company's shareholders, would:

10. Repricing.  Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 3, neither the per share option price for any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 or the per share grant price for any Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to Section 6 may be decreased after the date of grant nor may an outstanding Stock Option or an outstanding Stock Appreciation Right be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Stock Option or new Stock Appreciation Right with a lower exercise or grant price without the approval of the Company's shareholders.

12. General Provisions.

(a) The Committee may require each person purchasing shares pursuant to a Stock Option to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the optionee or participant is acquiring the shares without a view to the distribution thereof.  The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(b) Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its Service Providers.

(c) The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Service Provider any right to a continued relationship as a Service Provider nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate to terminate such relationship at any time.

(d) No later than the dates as of which an amount first becomes includable in the gross income of the participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to any award under the Plan, the participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.  Unless otherwise determined by the Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the participant.

(e) At the time of grant, the Committee may provide in connection with any grant made under this Plan that the shares of Stock received as a result of such grant shall be subject to a right of first refusal pursuant to which the participant shall be required to offer to the Company any shares that the participant wishes to sell at the then Fair Market Value of the Stock, subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may specify at the time of grant.

(f) The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the participant's death are to be paid.

(g) The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

(h) The reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of Stock are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Stock Options and other Plan awards).
