SECTION 4 --------- TERMS OF OPTIONS 4.01 General. -------- Each Option shall be evidenced by an Agreement between the Company and the Grantee which shall be subject to applicable provisions of the Plan and shall contain the terms and conditions required by this Section 4, and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent herewith, as the Committee may deem appropriate in each case. 4.02 Option Price. ------------- The price at which each share of Company Stock covered by an Option may be purchased shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Book Value of the Company Stock as of the last day of the Company's fiscal year immediately preceding the date the Option is granted. 4.03 Period for Exercise. -------------------- Each Stock Option Agreement shall state the period or periods of time within which the Option may be exercised by the Grantee, in whole or in part, which shall be such period or periods of time as may be determined in each case by the Committee, provided that: (a) The Exercise Period of any Option may not extend beyond a date which is fifteen (15) years from the date on which the Option is granted; (b) Notwithstanding the specified Exercise Period of any Option, if the Grantee's employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated within the Exercise Period for any reason other than for "cause" [as defined in Section 4.03(c)] or death, the Exercise Period for any Option which is exercisable as of the date of termination shall expire on the earlier of its specified expiration date or a date which is ninety (90) days following the date of such termination; (c) Notwithstanding the specified Exercise Period of any Option, if the Grantee's employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated within the Exercise Period and the Committee finds that there exists "cause" for such termination, the Exercise Period for any Option held by the Grantee shall expire on the date of such termination of employment. For purposes of this Section 4.03(c), the term "cause" shall mean the commission by Grantee of an act of fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude involving the Company, any material breach by the Grantee of the Company's Code of Business Ethics and Conduct Policy as the same may be in effect from time to time, disloyalty to the Company's best interests, or the Grantee's commission (whether or not he or she is charged or convicted) of any act which would constitute, under any federal or state law, a crime carrying a maximum penalty of at least one year incarceration or a fine or forfeiture of at least $5,000; and (d) Notwithstanding the specified Exercise Period of any Option, if the Grantee dies during the Exercise Period while in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, the Exercise Period for any Option exercisable as of the date of death shall expire on the earlier of its specified expiration date or on 12:00 midnight on a date which is one year after the date of such death. Such Option may be exercised by the person or persons entitled to do so under the Grantee's last will and testament, by the Grantee's executor or personal representative, or, if the Grantee shall fail to make testamentary disposition of his or her Option or shall die intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the Option under applicable intestacy laws. (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 4.03, a Stock Option Agreement may provide for Exercise Periods extending beyond the limits specified in the preceding paragraphs (a) through (d) if such Stock Option Agreement is approved by the Board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors who are not parties to such Stock Option Agreement. 4.04 Exercise of Option. ------------------- Subject to Section 4.03, each Option may be exercised in whole or in part (but only with respect to whole shares) from time to time as specified in the Agreement.

The purchase price may be paid in cash, by check, or, with the approval of the Committee, in shares of Company Stock having, at the time the Option is exercised, an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the purchase price of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option, or a combination thereof. For purposes of this Section 4.04, an Option shall be considered to be exercised on the date notice of exercise and payment of the purchase price is personally delivered or deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at its then current corporate headquarters. No Grantee shall be under any obligation to exercise any Option granted hereunder.

SECTION 5 --------- TERMS OF SARS 5.01 General. -------- Each SAR shall be evidenced by an Agreement between the Company and the Grantee which shall be subject to applicable provisions of the Plan and shall contain the terms and conditions required by this Section 5, and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent herewith, as the Committee may deem appropriate in each case. 5.02 Base Price. ----------- The Base Price of a SAR shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Book Value of one share of Company Stock as of the last day of the Company's fiscal year immediately preceding the date the SAR is granted. 5.03 Period for Exercise. -------------------- Each Agreement shall state the period or periods of time within which the SAR may be exercised by the Grantee, in whole or in part, which shall be such period or periods of time as may be determined in each case by the Committee, provided that: (a) The Exercise Period of any SAR may not extend beyond a date which is fifteen (15) years from the date on which the SAR is granted; (b) Notwithstanding the specified Exercise Period of any SAR, if the Grantee's employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated within the Exercise Period for any reason other than for "cause" [as defined in Section 5.03(c)] or death, the Exercise Period for any SAR which is exercisable as of the date of termination shall expire on the earlier of the specified expiration date or a date which is ninety (90) days following the date of such termination; (c) Notwithstanding the specified Exercise Period of any SAR, if the Grantee's employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated within the Exercise Period and the Committee finds that there exists "cause" for such termination, the Exercise Period for any SAR held by the Grantee shall expire on the date of such termination of employment. For purposes of this Section 5.03(c), the term "cause" shall mean the commission by Grantee of an act of fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude involving the Company, any material breach by the Grantee of the Company's Code of Business Ethics and Conduct Policy as the same may be in effect from time to time, disloyalty to the Company's best interests, or the Grantee's commission (whether or not he or she is charged or convicted) of any act which would constitute, under any federal or state law, a crime carrying a maximum penalty of at least one year incarceration or a fine or forfeiture of at least $5, 000; and (d) Notwithstanding the specified Exercise Period of any SAR, if the Grantee dies during the Exercise Period while in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, the Exercise Period of any SAR exercisable as of the date of death shall expire on the earlier of the specified expiration date or 12: 00 midnight on a date which is one year after the date of such death. Such SAR may be exercised by the person or persons entitled to do so under the Grantee's last will and testament, by the Grantee's executor or personal representative, or, if the Grantee shall fail to make testamentary disposition of his or her SAR or shall die intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the SAR under applicable intestacy laws. 5.04 Exercise of SAR. ---------------- Subject to Section 5.03, each SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (but only with respect to whole shares) from time to time as specified in the Agreement. Each Grantee may exercise a SAR by giving written notice of the exercise to the Company, specifying the number of SARs which are being exercised. Upon exercise of the SAR, the Grantee shall be paid an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Fair Market Value per share of the Company Stock as of the date on which the SAR is exercised and (ii) the Base Price less, if required, any applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of this Section 5.04, a SAR shall be considered to be exercised on the date notice of exercise is personally delivered or deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at its then current corporate headquarters. No Grantee shall be under any obligation to exercise any SAR granted hereunder. The Grantee may exercise or not exercise a SAR in his or her sole discretion. 5.05 Date SAR Granted. ----------------- For purposes of the Plan, a SAR shall be considered as having been granted on the date on which the Committee authorized the grant of the SAR, except where the Committee has designated a later date, in which event the later date shall constitute the date of grant of the SAR; provided, however, that in either case notice of the grant of the SAR shall be given to the Grantee within a reasonable time. SECTION 6 --------- COMPANY STOCK 6.01 Number of Shares Subject to Options. ------------------------------------ The aggregate number of shares of Company Stock that may be sold or delivered under the Plan as Options shall not exceed Seventy Five Thousand (75,000) shares. Shares of Company Stock sold or delivered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, shares reacquired by the Company, or a combination of both, as the Committee may from time to time determine. Shares of Company Stock not purchased under any Option granted under the Plan which are no longer available for purchase thereunder by virtue of the total or partial expiration, termination or voluntary surrender of the Option shall continue to be otherwise available for the purposes of the Plan. 6.02 Maximum Number of SARs. ----------------------- The aggregate number of SARs that may be issued or granted under the Plan shall not exceed the equivalent of Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares of Company Stock. SARs not exercised under the Plan which are no longer available for exercise by virtue of the total or partial expiration, termination or voluntary surrender of the SAR shall continue to be otherwise available for the purposes of the Plan. 6.03 Effect of Stock Dividends, Merger, etc. --------------------------------------- In the event of any merger, consolidation, share exchange, split-up or combination involving the Company, if any stock dividend is declared upon the Company Stock, or if there is any stock split, stock distribution, or other recapitalization of the Company with respect to its Company Stock, resulting in a split-up or combination or exchange of shares, the aggregate number and kind of shares which may thereafter be offered under the Plan, the kind of shares then subject to Options granted and the per share Option Price and the number of then issued SARs therefor shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted, without (in the case of Options) any change in the aggregate Option Price, all as the Committee may deem appropriate. If pursuant to any such transaction shares of Company Stock outstanding are exchanged for or converted into shares of stock or other equity securities of any other corporation or entity, all outstanding Options shall thereupon be converted into options to purchase, and all SARs shall thereupon be deemed to represent, a proportionate number of shares of the stock or other equity securities of such other corporation or entity into which Company Stock is thereby converted or exchanged, without (in the case of Options) any change in the aggregate Option Price, all as the Committee may deem appropriate. SECTION 7 --------- GENERAL 7.01 Government and Other Regulations. --------------------------------- The obligation of the Company to issue or transfer and deliver shares for Options exercised under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, regulations, rules, orders and approval which shall then be in effect and required by governmental entities. 7.02 Nontransferability. ------------------- No Option or SAR shall be transferable or assignable by the Grantee except by last will and testament or the laws of descent and distribution. During the Grantee's lifetime, Options and SARs shall be exercisable only by the Grantee or by the Grantee's guardian or legal representative. 7.03 General Restriction. -------------------- Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board or the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification of securities upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the issue or purchase of securities thereunder, such Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board or the Committee. 7.04 Changes in Terms of Outstanding Options and SARs. ------------------------------------------------- For purposes of this Plan, a change in the terms (including, without limitation, any extension of the Term or Expiration Date) of an outstanding Option or SAR shall be not deemed to constitute the grant of a new Option or SAR, notwithstanding that such change may be so treated for financial accounting or other purposes. 7.05 No Rights as Stockholder. ------------------------- The holder of an Option shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Company Stock subject to the Option until such shares of Company Stock shall have been delivered to him or her. The holder of a SAR shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company. 7.06 Effective Date and Duration of Plan. ------------------------------------ The Plan shall become effective November 1, 1991. No Options and no SARs shall be granted under the Plan after November 30, 2001. 7.07 Amendments. ----------- The Board may from time to time amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such action shall (a) impair without the Grantee's consent any Option or SAR theretofore granted under the Plan or deprive any Grantee of any shares of Company Stock which he or she may have acquired through or as a result of the Plan, or (b) in the event the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, be made without Company shareholder approval where such change would (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, (ii) increase the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Option or SARs under the Plan (other than as provided in Section 6.02), (iii) decrease the percentage relationship which must exist between the Option Price and the Book Value of the Company Stock as provided under Section 4.02, or (iv) alter the class of employees who are eligible to be granted Options and SARs pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02. 7.08 Construction. ------------- Except as otherwise required by applicable federal laws, the Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
