*Textron is segregated into a Manufacturing group and a Finance group, as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The Finance group’s pre-tax income in excess of dividends paid is excluded from the Manufacturing group’s cash flows. All significant transactions between the borrowing groups have been eliminated from the consolidated column provided on page 5.

TEXTRON INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
Note 1:  Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006.  In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups. The Manufacturing group consists of Textron Inc., consolidated with the entities that operate in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments, while the Finance group consists of the Finance segment, comprised of Textron Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group.   Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services. Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance. To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements, including retail and wholesale financing activities for inventory sold by our Manufacturing group that is financed by our Finance group.

Note 3:  Finance Receivables

In the first quarter of 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position No. 13-2 “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction” (“FSP 13-2”).  FSP 13-2 requires a recalculation of returns on leveraged leases if there is a change or projected change in the timing of cash flows related to income taxes generated by the leveraged leases.  The impact of any estimated change in projected cash flows must be reported as an adjustment to the net leveraged lease investment and retained earnings at the date of adoption.  Our Finance group has leveraged leases with an initial investment balance of $209 million that we estimate could be impacted by changes in the timing of cash flows related to income taxes.  Upon the adoption, we reduced retained earnings for the $33 million cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, and reduced our investment in these leveraged leases by $50 million and deferred income tax liabilities by $17 million.

Note 5:  Earnings per Share
 
We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share based on income available to common shareholders, which approximates net income for each period.  We use the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period for the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of convertible preferred shares, stock options and restricted stock in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

The weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Note 8:  Income Taxes

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) at the beginning of fiscal 2007, which resulted in an increase of approximately $22 million to our December 31, 2006 retained earnings balance.  FIN 48 provides a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.  Unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions for which reserves have been established.
 
9.

As of the date of adoption, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $356 million, of which $225 million in benefits, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective tax rate in any future period.  The remaining $131 million in unrecognized tax benefits are related to discontinued operations.  We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.

We conduct business globally and, as a result, file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Belgium, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the U.S.  With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 1997 in these major jurisdictions.

We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations.  At the date of adoption, we had $77 million of accrued interest included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

Note 9:  Commitments and Contingencies
 
We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of our business, including proceedings and claims relating to private sector transactions; government contracts; compliance with applicable laws and regulations; production partners; product liability; employment; and environmental, safety and health matters. Some of these legal proceedings and claims seek damages, fines or penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination. As a government contractor, we are subject to audits, reviews and investigations to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.   Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in our being suspended or debarred from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, we do not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In connection with the 2002 recall of certain of our Lycoming turbocharged airplane engines, a former third-party supplier filed a lawsuit against Lycoming claiming that the former supplier had been wrongly blamed for aircraft engine failures resulting from its crankshaft forging process and that Lycoming’s design was the cause of the engine failures. In February 2005, a jury returned a verdict against Lycoming for $86 million in punitive damages, $2.7 million in expert fees and $1.7 million in increased insurance costs. The jury also found that the former supplier’s claim that it had incurred $5.3 million in attorneys’ fees was reasonable.  Judgment was entered on the verdict on March 29, 2005, awarding the former supplier $9.7 million in alleged compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and $86 million in alleged punitive damages.  While the ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot be assured, management strongly disagrees with the verdict and believes that it is probable that the verdict will be reversed through the appellate process.
 
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has challenged both the ability to accelerate the timing of tax deductions and the amounts of those deductions related to certain leveraged lease transactions within the Finance segment.  These transactions, along with other transactions with similar characteristics, have an initial investment of approximately $209 million.  Resolution of these issues may result in an adjustment to the timing of taxable income and deductions that reduce the effective yield of the leveraged lease transactions. In addition, resolution of these issues could result in the acceleration of cash payments to the IRS.  Deferred tax liabilities of $172 million are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet related to these leases at June 30, 2007. We believe that the proposed IRS adjustments are inconsistent with the tax law in existence at the time the leases were originated and intend to vigorously defend our position.

Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Program
Bell Helicopter is performing under a U.S. Government contract for System Development and Demonstration (“SDD”) of the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (“ARH”).  In March 2007, we received correspondence from the U.S. Government that indicated limitations of funding on the ARH SDD contract.  Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2007 we provided for losses of $25 million related to the ARH program, consisting of $7 million in SDD costs and supplier obligations which exceeded the original SDD contract funding limit and $18 million in supplier obligations incurred in the first quarter for long-lead, low-rate initial production (“LRIP”) ARH component production.

10.
 
 
In the second quarter of 2007, the Army agreed to re-plan the ARH program and we reached a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) related to aircraft specifications, pricing methodology and delivery schedules for 62 LRIP aircraft in two lots. The re-planned program also included additional funding for SDD costs through the end of the second quarter of 2007, which resulted in recovery of the $7 million in SDD costs previously expensed in the first quarter.  Further, we have agreed to conduct additional SDD activities on a funded-basis.

Based on the plan outlined in the MOU and our related estimates of aircraft production costs, including costs related to risks associated with achieving learning curve and schedule assumptions, it is our best estimate at this time that we will lose approximately $73 million on the production of the 62 LRIP aircraft.  Accordingly, a net charge of $48 million was recorded in the second quarter, reflecting an additional charge of $55 million for LRIP-related costs, offset by the $7 million of SDD cost recovery.  We anticipate that the contract awards will be finalized beginning in 2008, and we expect that these awards will be based on the terms outlined in the MOU.

The U.S. Government continues to have an option related to production of 18 to 36 aircraft under the original ARH program. However, it is unlikely that the option would be exercised before its term expires in December 2007 due to certain additional development requirements under the SDD contract that must be met before the option can be exercised.  As a result, the U.S. Government has agreed in the MOU to include the units under this option within the 62 LRIP aircraft specified in the MOU.

Note 10:  Guarantees and Indemnifications
 
As disclosed under the caption “Guarantees and Indemnifications” in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have issued or are party to certain guarantees.  As of June 30, 2007, there has been no material change to these guarantees.

We provide limited warranty and product maintenance programs, including parts and labor, for certain products for periods ranging from one to five years.  We estimate the costs that may be incurred under warranty programs and record a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.  Factors that affect this liability include the number of products sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim.  We assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty and product maintenance liabilities periodically and adjust the amounts as necessary.

Changes in our warranty and product maintenance liability are as follows:

Note 11:  Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement replaces multiple existing definitions of fair value with a single definition, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands financial statement disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This Statement applies only to fair value measurements that already are required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the first quarter of 2008, and we currently are evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations.

11.
 
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure eligible assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in value recognized in earnings.  Fair value treatment for eligible assets and liabilities may be elected either prospectively upon initial recognition, or if an event triggers a new basis of accounting for an existing asset or liability.  SFAS 159 is effective in the first quarter of 2008, and we currently are evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations.

Note 12:  Segment Information
 
Our four reportable segments are: Bell, Cessna, Industrial and Finance.  These segments reflect the manner in which we manage our operations. Segment profit is an important measure used to evaluate performance and for decision-making purposes.  Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense and certain corporate expenses.  The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense.  Provisions for losses on finance receivables involving the sale or lease of our products are recorded by the selling manufacturing division when our Finance group has recourse to the Manufacturing group.

Note 13: Subsequent Events

On July 18, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of our common stock, which will be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend to be distributed on August 24, 2007 to shareholders of record on August 3, 2007.  As a result of the stock split, we will issue approximately 125 million additional shares of common stock to our shareholders.  The stock split will require restatement of all historical shares and per share data in the third quarter of 2007.

Pro forma earnings per share for income from continuing operations amounts on a post-split basis for the three years ended December 30, 2006 would be as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues and Segment Profit

Second Quarter of 2007

Revenues increased $415 million, or 15%, to $3.2 billion in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the corresponding quarter in 2006.  This increase is primarily due to higher manufacturing volume and product mix of $240 million, higher pricing of $83 million, more revenues in our Finance segment of $47 million, favorable foreign exchange impact of $30 million in the Industrial segment and the benefit from acquisitions of $32 million, largely due to Overwatch Systems.  These increases were partially offset by the 2006 divestiture of non-core product lines of $16 million in the Industrial segment.

Segment profit increased $58 million, or 18%, to $386 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with the corresponding period in 2006.  This increase is primarily due to higher pricing of $83 million, a net benefit from higher volume and product mix of $34 million and more profit in the Finance segment of $12 million.  These increases were partially offset by inflation of $60 million and unfavorable cost performance of $20 million, which included a charge for Bell Helicopter’s Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (“ARH”) program of $48 million in the second quarter of 2007.

First Half of 2007

Revenues increased $747 million, or 14%, to $6.2 billion in the first half of 2007 compared with the corresponding period in 2006.  This increase is primarily due to higher manufacturing volume and product mix of $397 million, higher pricing of $154 million, more revenues in our Finance segment of $75 million, favorable foreign exchange impact of $65 million in the Industrial segment and the benefit from acquisitions of $59 million, largely due to Overwatch Systems, and the reimbursement of costs related to Hurricane Katrina of $28 million.  These increases were partially offset by the 2006 divestiture of non-core product lines of $32 million in the Industrial segment.

Segment profit increased $132 million, or 22%, to $744 million in the second half of 2007, compared with the corresponding period in 2006.  This increase is primarily due to higher pricing of $154 million, a net benefit from higher volume and product mix of $48 million, favorable cost performance of $23 million and more profit in the Finance segment of $15 million.  These increases were partially offset by inflation of $110 million.  Our favorable cost performance includes the reimbursement of costs related to Hurricane Katrina of $28 million and is net of a charge for Bell Helicopter’s ARH program of $73 million.

Backlog

Backlog in the Cessna and Bell Helicopter businesses grew to $14.0 billion at the end of second quarter of 2007, compared to the end of 2006, reflecting an increase of approximately $1.9 billion at Cessna and $500 million at Bell Helicopter, primarily for the V-22 Lot 11 contract.  At Cessna, new business jet orders outpaced deliveries by 2.5 to 1 in the first half of 2007, essentially filling out the 2008 delivery plan of approximately 470 jets.  In comparison, we expect to deliver about 380 jets in 2007.

Corporate Expenses and Other, net

Corporate expenses and other, net increased $18 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2006, primarily due to $12 million of higher compensation expenses, primarily as a result of our stock price appreciation, and $4 million of higher professional fees.

14.
 
 
Corporate expenses and other, net increased $19 million in the first half of 2007 compared with 2006, primarily due to $5 million of higher compensation expenses, $5 million of increased costs for divested operations and $5 million of higher professional fees.

U.S. Government Business
In the second quarter of 2007, revenues increased $70 million, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher net volume of $50 million and the benefit from acquisitions of $22 million. The volume increase is primarily due to higher V-22 volume of $47 million, more Armored Security Vehicle (“ASV”) deliveries worth $31 million and higher Intelligent Battlefield Systems (“IBS”) volume of $11 million, partially offset by $26 million in lower helicopter spares and service sales, and lower volume of $17 million for Joint Direct Attack Munitions (“JDAM”). Our ASV deliveries are well ahead of last year and a recent order from the U.S. Army will allow us to continue current production levels well into 2008.

In the second quarter of 2007, profit in our U.S. Government business decreased $40 million, compared with 2006, primarily due to unfavorable performance of $45 million. We recorded a $48 million charge in the second quarter of 2007 for the ARH program resulting in higher charges of $42 million over the corresponding quarter of 2006.  In addition, we had lower profitability for the V-22 program of $12 million that was partially offset by

favorable ASV performance of $11 million.   The lower profitability in the V-22 program is primarily due to a $7 million award fee received in 2006. Additionally, higher overhead costs incurred and absorbed into inventory in 2006 have negatively impacted current year V-22 margins. V-22 aircraft delivered in 2007 were in production during 2006 and absorbed higher overhead costs resulting from our prior year investments to improve operational systems. Improved ASV performance reflects overhead improvements of $5 million as well as other manufacturing efficiencies.  

In the first half of 2007, revenues increased $199 million, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher net volume and mix of $137 million, the benefit from acquisitions of $38 million and a cost reimbursement related to Hurricane Katrina of $28 million. The volume increase is primarily due to more ASV deliveries of $94 million, higher H-1 revenue of $59 million, higher V-22 volume of $39 million and higher IBS volume of $26 million, partially offset by $42 million in lower helicopter spares and service sales, and lower volume of $31 million for JDAM.

In the first half of 2007, profit in our U.S. Government business decreased $28 million, compared with 2006. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable performance of $31 million and the net impact from inflation and pricing of $13 million, partially offset by higher net volume and mix of $13 million. The unfavorable performance reflected higher charges recorded for the ARH program of $64 million and lower V-22 profitability of $20 million, partially offset by the Hurricane Katrina cost reimbursement of $28 million and favorable ASV performance of $11 million.
 
ARH Program - Bell Helicopter is performing under a U.S. Government contract for System Development and Demonstration (“SDD”) of the ARH.  In March 2007, we received correspondence from the U.S. Government that indicated limitations of funding on the ARH SDD contract.  Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2007 we provided for losses of $25 million related to the ARH program, consisting of $7 million in SDD costs and supplier obligations which exceeded the original SDD contract funding limit and $18 million in supplier obligations incurred in the first quarter for long-lead, low-rate initial production (“LRIP”) ARH component production.

In the second quarter of 2007, the Army agreed to re-plan the ARH program and we reached a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) related to aircraft specifications, pricing methodology and delivery schedules for 62 LRIP aircraft in two lots. The re-planned program also included additional funding for SDD costs through the end of the second quarter of 2007, which resulted in recovery of the $7 million in SDD costs previously expensed in the first quarter.  Further, we have agreed to conduct additional SDD activities on a funded-basis.

Based on the plan outlined in the MOU and our related estimates of aircraft production costs, including costs related to risks associated with achieving learning curve and schedule assumptions, it is our best estimate at this time that we will lose approximately $73 million on the production of the 62 LRIP aircraft.  Accordingly, a net charge of $48 million was recorded in the second quarter, reflecting an additional charge of $55 million for LRIP-related costs, offset by the $7 million of SDD cost recovery.  We anticipate that the contract awards will be finalized beginning in 2008, and we expect that these awards will be based on the terms outlined in the MOU.  We expect that any contracts for lots subsequent to the initial two LRIP lots will be priced to fully recover costs plus a reasonable profit.

The U.S. Government continues to have an option related to production of 18 to 36 aircraft under the original ARH program. However, it is unlikely that the option would be exercised before its term expires in December 2007 due to certain additional development requirements under the SDD contract that must be met before the option can be exercised.  As a result, the U.S. Government has agreed in the MOU to include the units under this option within the 62 LRIP aircraft specified in the MOU.

Commercial Business
In the second quarter of 2007, commercial revenues increased $40 million, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher pricing of $21 million, the benefit from acquisitions of $10 million and higher volume of $9 million. Higher volume reflects more helicopter deliveries of $39 million, partially offset by lower spares and service volume of $13 million and lower Huey II kit deliveries of $12 million.
 
 
16.

In the second quarter of 2007, commercial profit increased $34 million, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher pricing of $21 million, favorable cost performance of $15 million and lower engineering, research and development expense of $13 million, partially offset by inflation of $10 million.  The lower engineering, research and development expense resulted from the delay of spending for such cost to the second half of 2007.

In the first half of 2007, commercial revenues increased $67 million, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher pricing of $40 million and the benefit from acquisitions of $21 million. Volume increased slightly as higher helicopter deliveries of $52 million were partially offset by lower Huey II kit deliveries of $34 million and lower spares and service volume of $11 million.

In the first half of 2007, commercial profit increased $44 million, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher pricing of $40 million, favorable cost performance of $22 million and lower engineering, research and development expense of $17 million, partially offset by inflation of $19 million and the net impact of unfavorable product mix of $14 million.

Cessna has continued to grow its revenues and segment profit due, in part, to its increased international deliveries,  as over half of our 95 Citation business jets in the second quarter of 2007 went to international customers, primarily in Europe and Latin America. We delivered a total of 76 jets in the second quarter of 2006. In May, the Mustang became the first new-generation entry level jet to be certified in Europe. We have continued to ramp up our Mustang production with 10 aircraft delivered in the second quarter of 2007.

Revenues at Cessna increased $198 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2006 due to higher volume of $147 million, primarily related to Citation business jets, and higher pricing of $51 million.  Segment profit increased $47 million at Cessna in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher pricing of $51 million and the impact of the higher volume of $31 million, partially offset by inflation of $26 million and increased product development expense of $9 million.   Favorable warranty performance of $9 million resulting from lower point of sale warranty costs for aircraft sold during the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2006, was offset by other favorable warranty performance of $10 million recorded in 2006.

Revenues at Cessna increased $297 million in the first half of 2007, compared with 2006 due to higher volume of $202 million, primarily related to Citation business jets, and higher pricing of $95 million. Segment profit increased $85 million at Cessna in the first six months of 2007, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher pricing of $95 million and the impact of the higher volume of $47 million, partially offset by inflation of $44 million and increased product development expense of $16 million. Favorable warranty performance of $16 million resulting from lower point of sale warranty costs for aircraft sold during the first half of 2007, compared with 2006, was offset by other favorable warranty performance of $19 million recorded in 2006.

Revenues in the Industrial segment increased $60 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2006 primarily due to higher volume of $34 million, favorable foreign exchange impact of $30 million and higher pricing of $13 million, partially offset by the divestiture of non-core product lines of $16 million.  Profit in the Industrial segment increased $5 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2006 mainly due to $13 million of higher pricing, $7 million of improved cost performance and $2 million each in higher volume and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by $19 million of inflation.

Revenues in the Industrial segment increased $109 million in the first half of 2007, compared with 2006 primarily due to favorable foreign exchange impact of $65 million, higher volume of $52 million and higher pricing of $23 million, partially offset by the divestiture of non-core product lines of $32 million.  Profit in the Industrial segment increased $16 million in the first half of 2007, compared with 2006 mainly due to $26 million of improved cost performance and higher pricing of $23 million, partially offset by $38 million of inflation.

The Finance segment continued to grow its managed finance receivables with a 5%, or $507 million, increase since the end of 2006.  In addition, our already strong portfolio quality statistics continued to improve.

Revenues in the Finance segment increased $47 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2006. The increase was primarily due to a $26 million increase related to higher average finance receivables and a $21 million gain on the sale of a leveraged lease investment. Average finance receivables increased primarily due to growth in the aviation, distribution and resort finance businesses, partially offset by an increase in the level of distribution finance receivables sold.

Profit in the Finance segment increased $12 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2006 primarily due to a $21 million gain on the sale of a leveraged lease investment and a $12 million increase related to higher average finance receivables, partially offset by a $12 million increase in the provision for losses and $8 million related to the impact of competitive pricing pressures. The increase in provision for losses is primarily attributable to $5 million of higher provision for losses related to specific reserving actions taken on one account in the media finance portfolio, and a $6 million reduction in 2006 in the rate utilized to establish the allowance for losses in several portfolios due to improvements in credit quality.

Revenues in the Finance segment increased $75 million in the first half of 2007, compared with 2006. The increase was primarily due to a $59 million increase related to higher average finance receivables, a $21 million gain on the sale of a leveraged lease investment and a $15 million increase from a higher interest rate environment, partially offset by $13 million in lower leveraged lease earnings due to an unfavorable cumulative earnings adjustment attributable to the recognition of residual value impairments. Average finance receivables increased primarily due to growth in the aviation, distribution and resort finance businesses, partially offset by an increase in the level of distribution finance receivables sold.
 
Profit in the Finance segment increased $15 million in the first half of 2007, compared with 2006 primarily due to a $28 million increase related to higher average finance receivables and a $21 million gain on the sale of a leveraged lease investment, partially offset by $13 million in lower leveraged lease earnings due to an unfavorable cumulative earnings adjustment attributable to the recognition of residual value impairments, $12 million related to the impact of competitive pricing pressures and an $8 million increase in the provision for losses, largely due to one account.

The Finance segment has continued to sustain improvements in portfolio quality as indicated by an improved nonperforming assets percentage and 60+ days contractual delinquency percentage.  Net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables increased to 0.52% during the first half of 2007 as compared with 0.35% for the corresponding period of 2006.  The increase in the percentage reflects charge-off activity in 2007 that primarily relates to accounts for which a specific allowance for losses had been established in previous periods.  As a result of these charge-offs, the allowance for losses on receivables decreased by $7 million in the first half of 2007.  This decrease corresponds with a $24 million decrease in nonaccrual finance receivables during the same period and results in an increase in the allowance for losses as a percentage of nonaccrual finance receivables.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups. The Manufacturing group consists of Textron Inc., consolidated with the entities that operate in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments, while the Finance group consists of the Finance segment, comprised of Textron Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group. Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services. Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance.  To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the consolidated financial statements.

Through our Finance group, we provide diversified commercial financing to third parties.  In addition, this group finances retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment manufactured by our Manufacturing group, otherwise known as captive financing.  In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash received from customers or from securitizations is reflected as operating activities when received. However, in the cash flow information provided for the separate borrowing groups, cash flows related to captive financing activities are reflected based on the operations of each group. For example, when product is sold by our Manufacturing group to a customer that is financed by the Finance group, the origination of the finance receivable is recorded within investing activities as a cash outflow on our Finance group’s statement of cash flows.  Meanwhile, the Manufacturing group records the cash received from the Finance group on the customer’s behalf within operating cash flows as a cash inflow on our Manufacturing group’s statement of cash flows. Although cash is transferred between the two borrowing groups, there is no cash transaction reported in the consolidated cash flows at the time of the original financing. These captive financing activities, along with all significant intercompany transactions, are reclassified or eliminated from the consolidated statements of cash flows, as detailed below in the operating cash flows of continuing operations section.

The debt (net of cash)-to-capital ratio for our Manufacturing group as of June 30, 2007 was 28%, compared with 29% at December 30, 2006, and the gross debt-to-capital ratio as of June 30, 2007 was 38%, compared with 40% at December 30, 2006.  Our Manufacturing group targets a gross debt-to-capital ratio that is consistent with an A rated company.

We have a policy of maintaining unused committed bank lines of credit in an amount not less than outstanding commercial paper balances.  These facilities are in support of commercial paper and letters of credit issuances only, and neither of these primary lines of credit was drawn at June 30, 2007 or December 30, 2006.

Cash flows received from consolidated financing activities decreased during the first half of 2007 primarily due a reduction in short-term debt borrowings in the Finance group of $613 million and higher payments on long-term debt in the Finance group of $337 million.  These amounts were partially offset by less cash used to repurchase our stock of $377 million and a reduction in the cash used to pay dividends of $50 million due to the timing of payments.
 
Stock Repurchases
In the first half of 2007 and 2006, we repurchased 2,271,292 and 6,979,672 shares of common stock, respectively, under Board-authorized share repurchase programs for an aggregate cost of $219 million and $610 million, respectively.

Dividends
We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.3875 per share in the first and second quarters of 2007 and 2006. Dividend payments to shareholders totaled $97 million in the first half of 2007, compared with $147 million in the first half of 2006.  The decrease in dividend payments reflects the fourth quarter 2005 dividend that was paid in the first half of 2006, while the fourth quarter 2006 dividend was paid in the fourth quarter.

On July 18, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of our common stock, which will be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend to be distributed on August 24, 2007 to shareholders of record on August 3, 2007.  Accordingly, we will issue approximately 125 million additional shares of common stock to our shareholders.  The Board of Directors also approved the retirement of approximately 85 million shares of treasury stock to reduce annual exchange listing costs, which will result in a reduction in treasury stock of approximately $4.9 billion, which is offset by reductions in capital surplus of approximately $764 million and retained earnings of approximately $4.1 billion, with no impact on total shareholders’ equity.

Also on July 18, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a 19% increase in our annualized common stock dividend rate from $1.55 per share to $1.84 per share ($0.775 per share to $0.92 per share on a post-split basis) and authorized the repurchase of up to 24 million shares of our common stock on a post-split basis.

Capital Resources
 
Under a shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our Manufacturing group may issue public debt and other securities in one or more offerings up to a total maximum offering of $2.0 billion.  At June 30, 2007, we had $1.6 billion available under this registration statement.
 
Under a previously filed registration statement, the Finance group may issue an unlimited amount of public debt.  Our Finance group issued $640 million of term debt and CAD 140 million of term debt during the first half of 2007 under this registration statement.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2007, the Finance group issued $300 million of 6% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes, which mature in 2067.  The Finance group has the right to redeem the notes at par beginning in 2017, and is obligated to redeem the notes beginning in 2042.

Foreign Exchange Risks
 
Our financial results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and economic conditions in the foreign markets in which our products are manufactured and/or sold.  For the first half of 2007, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes from the first half of 2006 increased revenues by approximately $65 million (1.2%) and increased segment profit by approximately $4 million (0.7%).

Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement replaces multiple existing definitions of fair value with a single definition, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands financial statement disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This Statement applies only to fair value measurements that already are required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the first quarter of 2008, and we currently are evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure eligible assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in value recognized in earnings.  Fair value treatment for eligible assets and liabilities may be elected either prospectively upon initial recognition, or if an event triggers a new basis of accounting for an existing asset or liability.  SFAS 159 is effective in the first quarter of 2008, and we currently are evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations.

During the first month of the second quarter of 2007, Textron received a total of 3,731 shares as payments for the exercise price of employee stock options, which are not included in the publicly announced repurchase plan.
   
**
These shares were purchased pursuant to a plan authorizing the repurchase of up to 12 million shares of Textron common stock that had been announced on January 26, 2006, and had no expiration date.  On July 18, 2007, Textron’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan under which Textron is authorized to repurchase up to 24 million shares of common stock (equivalent of 12 million shares prior to the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend to be distributed on August 24, 2007).  The new plan has no expiration date and supercedes the existing repurchase plan, which was cancelled effective July 18, 2007.

Meetings of Stockholders.
 
Section 2.01.  Place of Meetings.  All meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place either within or without the State of Delaware as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors and specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice of said meetings.
 
Section 2.02.  Annual Meetings.  (a) The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before the meeting shall be held on such day, at such time and in such place (either within or without the State of Delaware) as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) If the election of directors shall not be held on the day fixed by the Board of Directors for any annual meeting, or on the day of any adjourned session thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting as soon thereafter as conveniently may be. At such special meeting the stockholders may elect the directors and transact other business with the same force and effect as at an annual meeting duly called and held. (c) At any annual meeting, or special meeting held in lieu thereof, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by any stockholder who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(c). Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Amended and Restated By-Laws (“By-Laws”), the only business which shall be conducted at any such meeting of the stockholders shall (i) have been specified in the written notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given pursuant to Section 2.04, (ii) be brought before the meeting at the direction of the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting or (iii) have been specified in a timely written notice to the Secretary, in accordance with all of the following requirements, by or on behalf of any stockholder who shall have been a stockholder of record on the record date for such meeting and who shall continue to be entitled to vote thereat. To be timely in the case of an annual meeting, each such notice must be delivered to, or be mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders, provided, however, that in the event the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days of such anniversary date, such notice must be so delivered or so mailed and received, not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of annual meeting was first made, whichever first occurs.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting, or a special meeting held in lieu thereof, commence a new period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

Section 2.03.  Special Meetings.  A special meeting of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chief executive officer or by order of the Board of Directors. The business which may be transacted at a special meeting is limited to that set forth in the notice of special meeting and, if the notice so provides, such other matters as the chief executive officer or the Board of Directors may bring before the meeting.
 
Section 2.04.  Notice of Meetings.  (a) Except as otherwise required by statute, notice of each annual or special meeting of the stockholders shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the day on which the meeting is to be held by delivering written notice thereof to such stockholder personally or by mailing such notice, postage prepaid, addressed to such stockholder at the stockholder’s post-office address last shown in the records of the Corporation or by transmitting notice thereof to such stockholder by any other available method. Every such notice shall state the time and place of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, shall state briefly the purposes thereof. (b) Except as otherwise required by statute, notice of any meeting of stockholders shall not be required to be given to any stockholders who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy or who shall waive such notice in writing or by electronic transmission either before or after such meeting. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders shall not be required to be given except when expressly required by statute.
 
Section 2.05.  Quorum.  (a) At each meeting of the stock holders, except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the holders or record of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. (b) In the absence of a quorum a majority in interest of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy or, in the absence of all such stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or act as secretary of, such meeting, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, until stockholders holding the requisite amount of stock shall be present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.
 
Section 2.06.  Organization.  At each meeting of the stockholders the Chairman of the Board or, in his or her absence, the President or, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board and the President, the Lead Director or, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the President and the Lead Director, the Vice Chairman of the Board or, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Lead Director and the Vice Chairman of the Board, any Vice President or, in the absence of all such officers, a chairman chosen by a majority vote of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall act as chairman, and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or, in the absence of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries, a person whom the chairman of such meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.
 
Section 2.07.  Voting.  (a) Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, at every meeting of the stockholders each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of capital stock of the Corporation registered in such stockholder’s name on the books of the Corporation:
 
(i)      on the date fixed pursuant to Section 8.03 of these By-Laws as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting; or
 
(ii)      if no such record date shall have been fixed, then the record date shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of such meeting is given.
 
(b) Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held. In the case of stock held jointly by two or more executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, trustees or other fiduciaries, such fiduciaries may designate in writing one or more of their number to represent such stock and vote the shares so held, unless there is a provision to the contrary in the instrument, if any, defining their powers and duties. (c) Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote thereon until such stock is transferred on the books of the Corporation to the pledgee, and thereafter only the pledgee shall be entitled to vote. (d) Any stockholder entitled to vote may do so in person or by such stockholder’s proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder or by such stockholder’s attorney thereunto authorized, or by a telegram, cable or any other available method delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted after three years from its date, unless said proxy provides for a longer period. (e) At all meetings of the stockholders, all matters (except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws) shall be decided by the vote of a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, present in person or by proxy, at such meeting, a quorum being present.
 
Section 2.08.  Voting Procedures and Inspectors of Elec tions.  (a) The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. (b) The inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v)   certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors. (c) The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Delaware Court of Chancery upon application by a stockholder shall determine otherwise.

Such list shall be open during ordinary business hours to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the election, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. (b) Such list shall be produced andkept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. (c) Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the directors to produce such list at any meeting for the election of directors they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such meeting. (d) The stock ledger shall be conclusive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger and the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.09 on the books of the Corporation or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 3.03.  Nomination and Election of Directors.  Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at a meeting of the stockholders may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors by any nominating committee or person appointed by the Board or at an annual meeting or special meeting held in lieu thereof, by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at such meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3.03. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, in the case of a nomination to be made at an annual meeting, each such notice must be delivered to, or be mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days of such anniversary date, such notice must be so delivered, or so mailed and received, not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of annual meeting was first made, whichever first occurs. To be timely in the case of a nomination to be made at a special meeting held in lieu of an annual meeting, such notice must be delivered to, or be mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of special meeting was first made, whichever first occurs. In no event, shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting, or a special meeting held in lieu thereof, commence a new period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by the person, and (iv) any other information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to the Proxy Rules, and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and record address of stockholder, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation held of record, owned beneficially and represented by proxy by such stockholder as of the record date for the meeting (if such date shall then have been made publicly available) and as of the date of such notice by the stockholder, (iii) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by such stockholder, and (v) such other information regarding such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitation of proxies for election of directors pursuant to the Proxy Rules. Such notice must be accompanied by the written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.

(b)The Corporation shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was an Agent against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
 
(c)To the extent that an Agent shall be successful on the merits or otherwise (including dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified, to the full extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
 
(d)Any indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b). Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
 
(e)Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Agent in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article XII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that, based upon the facts known to the Board of Directors or counsel at the time such determination is made such Agent acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such Agent believed or had reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the Board of Directors or independent legal counsel reasonably determines that such person deliberately breached such person’s duty to the Corporation or its stockholders.
 
(f)The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Article XII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. All rights to indemnification under this Article XII shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Corporation and each Agent who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article XII is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Article XII shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing.
 
(g)The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Agent against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article XII.
 
(h)For purposes of this Article XII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger, which, if its separate existence had continued would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article XII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
 
(i)For purposes of this Article XII, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article XII.
 
(j)The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article XII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

6.   Awards in General
 
(a)  Types of Awards . Awards under the Plan may consist of Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Stock, Performance Share Units and Other Awards. Any Award described in Sections 7 through 11 of the Plan may be granted singly or in combination or tandem with any other Award, as the Committee may determine. Awards under the Plan may be made in combination with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to awards or rights under any other compensation or benefit plan of the Company, including the plan of any acquired entity.
 
(b)  Terms Set Forth in Award Document . The terms and conditions of each Award shall be set forth in an Award Document in a form approved by the Committee for such Award, which Award Document shall contain terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to applicable laws, the Committee may accelerate (i) the vesting or payment of any Award, (ii) the lapse of restrictions on any Award or (iii) the date on which any Award first becomes exercisable. The Committee shall exercise this discretion only in the event of death, disability, Change of Control, retirement, or termination without cause. If an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, or if an Award is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 409A or Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall have discretion to alter the terms of the Award only to the extent that the alteration would not cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or the “performance-based compensation” exemption under Section 162(m), respectively.  The terms of Awards may vary among Participants, and the Plan does not impose upon the Committee any requirement to make Awards subject to uniform terms. Accordingly, the terms of individual Award Documents may vary.
 
(c)  Termination of Employment . The Committee shall specify at or after the time of grant of an Award the provisions governing the disposition of an Award in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, in connection with a Participant’s termination of employment, the Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the vesting, exercisability or settlement of, eliminate the restrictions and conditions applicable to, alter the form of payment, or extend the post-termination exercise period of an outstanding Award. Such provisions may be specified in the applicable Award Document or determined at a subsequent time.  If an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, or if an Award is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 409A or Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall have discretion to alter the terms of the Award only to the extent that the alteration would not cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or the “performance-based compensation” exemption under Section 162(m), respectively.  
 
(d)  Change of Control . (i) The Committee shall have full authority to determine the effect, if any, of a Change of Control of the Company or any Subsidiary   on the vesting, exercisability, settlement, payment or lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award, which effect may be specified in the applicable Award Document or determined at a subsequent time. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board or the Committee shall, at any time prior to, coincident with or after the effective time of a Change of Control, take such actions as it may consider appropriate, including, without limitation:  (A) providing for the acceleration of any vesting conditions relating to the exercise or settlement of an Award or that an Award shall terminate or expire unless exercised or settled in full on or before a date fixed by the Committee; (B) making such adjustments to the Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control; (C) causing the Awards then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by the surviving corporation in such Change of Control; or (D) permitting or requiring Participants to surrender outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for a cash payment equal to the difference, if any, between the highest price paid for a Share in the Change of Control transaction and the Exercise Price of the Award.   If an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have discretion to alter the terms of the Award only to the extent that the alteration would not cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.  In addition, except as otherwise specified in an Award Document (or a Participant’s written employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary):
 
(1)  any and all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall become immediately exercisable;
 
(2)  any restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units outstanding as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall lapse;
 
(3)  the Performance Targets with respect to all Performance Share Units, Performance Stock and other performance-based Awards granted pursuant to Sections 6(g) or 10 outstanding as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall be deemed to have been attained at the specified target level of performance;
 
(4)  the vesting of all Awards denominated in Shares outstanding as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall be accelerated; and
 
(5)  any Award that became earned or vested as a result of the Change in Control shall be paid in full within 30 days after the vesting date (unless the payment would constitute an impermissible acceleration of a distribution that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, in which case the payment shall be made on the original distribution date).
 
(ii)   Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Committee may provide, in an Award Document or subsequent to the grant of an Award for the accelerated vesting, exercisability and/or the deemed attainment of a Performance Target with respect to an Award upon specified events similar to a Change of Control.
 
(iii)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Document, the provisions of this Section 6(d) may not be terminated, amended, or modified upon or after a Change of Control in a manner that would adversely affect a Participant’s rights with respect to an outstanding Award without the prior written consent of the Participant. Subject to Section 16, the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, may terminate, amend or modify this Section 6(d) at any time and from time to time prior to a Change of Control.
 
(e)  Dividends and Dividend Equivalents . The Committee may provide Participants with the right to receive dividends or payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect to an outstanding Award, which payments can either be paid currently or deemed to have been reinvested in Shares, and can be made in Shares, cash or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine; provided , however , that the terms of any payment or reinvestment of dividends (including the time and form in which reinvested dividends will be paid to the Participant) must be specified in the Award Document when the Award is granted and must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code.   Dividends or dividend equivalents that are paid currently with respect to any non-vested Award generally shall be paid at the same time as dividends are paid to the Company’s shareholders, and in no event later than 2½ months after the end of the year in which the dividend record date falls.  Dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested with respect to any non-vested Award shall vest and be paid out at the same time and under the same conditions as the underlying Award.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.
 
(f)  Rights of a Stockholder . A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by an Award (including voting rights) until the date the Participant or his or her nominee becomes the holder of record of such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date, except as provided in Section 13.
 
(g)  Performance-Based Awards . (i) The Committee may determine whether any Award (or portion of an Award) under the Plan is intended to be “performance-based compensation” as that term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code. Any such Awards (or portions of Awards) designated to be “performance-based compensation” shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more Performance Targets to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code and will be subject to all other conditions and requirements of Section 162(m). The Performance Targets will consist of specified levels of one or more of the following performance criteria as the Committee deems appropriate: operating cash flows from continuing operations, operating working capital, free cash flow, revenues, segment profit, corporate expenses, special charges, gain (loss) on sale of business, income from continuing operations, net income, EBITDA—earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, EBIT—earnings before interest and taxes, EPS—earnings per share, as adjusted EPS, ROA - return on assets, ROS—return on sales, ROE—return on equity, ROIC—return on invested capital, WACC—weighted average cost of capital, total shareholder return, stock price appreciation, growth in managed assets, organic growth, cost performance, net cost reductions, inventory turns, selling and administrative expense as a percentage of sales, days sales outstanding, ratio of income to fixed charges, segment profit margins, total profit margin, EVA—economic value added, intrinsic value and effective income tax rate, in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (subject to modifications approved by the Committee) consistently applied on a business unit, divisional, subsidiary or consolidated basis or any combination thereof. The Performance Targets may be described in terms of objectives that are related to the individual Participant or objectives that are Company-wide or related to a Subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit and may be measured on an absolute or cumulative basis or on the basis of percentage of improvement over time, and may be measured in terms of Company performance (or performance of the applicable Subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit) or measured relative to selected peer companies or a market index. In addition, for Awards or portions of Awards not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may establish Performance Targets based on other criteria as it deems appropriate.
 
(ii)  The Participants will be designated, and the applicable Performance Targets will be established, by the Committee within ninety (90) days following the commencement of the applicable Performance Period (or such earlier or later date permitted or required by Section 162(m) of the Code). Each Participant will be assigned a Target Number payable if Performance Targets are achieved. Any payment of an Award granted with Performance Targets shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case that the Performance Targets and any other material conditions were satisfied. The Committee may determine, at the time of Award grant and to the extent permitted by Code Section 162(m) and the regulations and interpretive rulings thereunder, that if performance exceeds the specified Performance Targets, the Award may be settled with payment greater than the Target Number, but in no event may such payment exceed the limits set forth in Section 5(c). Similarly, the Committee may establish a payment that is below the Target Number but above a threshold level of payment if performance is below established Performance Targets. The Committee retains the right to reduce any Award notwithstanding the attainment of the Performance Targets. Notwithstanding the above, for any Award or portion of an Award designated to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee does not retain any right to increase any amount otherwise determined under the provisions of the Plan and the Award.
 
(h)  Deferrals .    All Awards that are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture when granted shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum (in cash, Shares, or a combination of the two) no later than the end of the year in which the Award vests (or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month after the Award vests), unless the Participant has made a valid election under a deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Company to defer all or part of the Award.  No deferral opportunity shall exist with respect to an Award unless explicitly permitted by the Committee at the time of grant.  No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall include a right to defer gain upon exercise or any other deferral feature.
 
(i)  Repricing of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights . Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, except as may be specifically authorized by the Company’s shareholders, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall not be granted in substitution for a previously granted Option or Stock Appreciation Right being canceled or surrendered as a condition of receiving a new Award, if the new Award would have a lower exercise price than the Award it replaces, nor shall the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be reduced once the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is granted. The foregoing shall not (i) prevent adjustments pursuant to Section 13 or (ii) apply to grants of Substitute Awards.
 
 
7.   Terms and Conditions of Options
 
(a)  General . The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Options to Eligible Individuals and shall determine whether such Options shall be Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Document that shall expressly identify the Option as an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option, and be in such form and contain such provisions as the Committee shall from time to time deem appropriate.
 
(b)  Exercise Price . The exercise price of an Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant or shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant. In no event shall the exercise price of an Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; provided , however that the exercise price of a Substitute Award granted as an Option shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Section 424 of the Code and may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value.
 
(c)  Term . An Option shall be effective for such term as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in the Award Document relating to such Option, and the Committee may extend the term of an Option after the time of grant; provided , however , that the term of an Option may in no event extend beyond the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the date of grant of such Option.
 
(d)  Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price . Options shall be exercised by delivery of a notice of exercise in a form approved by the Company.  Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Document, the exercise price of an Option may be paid (i) in cash or cash equivalents, (ii) by actual delivery or attestation to ownership of freely transferable Shares already owned by the person exercising the Option, (iii) by a combination of cash and Shares equal in value to the exercise price, (iv) through net share settlement or similar procedure involving the withholding of Shares subject to the Option with a value equal to the exercise price or (v) by such other means as the Committee may authorize. In accordance with the rules and procedures authorized by the Committee for this purpose, the Option may also be exercised through a “cashless exercise” procedure authorized by the Committee from time to time that permits Participants to exercise Options by delivering irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount necessary to pay the exercise price and the amount of any required tax or other withholding obligations or such other procedures determined by the Company from time to time.
 
(e)  Incentive Stock Options . The exercise price per Share of an Incentive Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant or shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. No Incentive Stock Option may be issued pursuant to the Plan to any individual who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, unless (i) the exercise price determined as of the date of grant is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the Shares subject to such Incentive Stock Option and (ii) the Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable more than five (5) years from the date of grant thereof. No Participant shall be granted any Incentive Stock Option which would result in such Participant receiving a grant of Incentive Stock Options that would have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), determined as of the time of grant, that would be exercisable for the first time by such Participant during any calendar year. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after February 28, 2017, the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, as amended from time to time.
 
 
8.  Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
 
(a)    Minimum Vesting Provisions . Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units settled in Shares that are granted without any other performance-based qualification criteria other than the Participant’s continued service shall have a minimum period of restriction of three (3) years. Performance-based grants shall feature a minimum period of restriction of one (1) year.
 
(b)  Restricted Stock . The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Restricted Stock to Eligible Individuals. An Award of Restricted Stock shall consist of one or more Shares granted to an Eligible Individual, and shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award and specified in the applicable Award Document. Restricted Stock may, among other things, be subject to restrictions on transferability, vesting requirements or other specified circumstances under which it may be canceled.
 
(c)  Restricted Stock Units.  The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Individuals. A Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle a Participant to receive, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and the applicable Award Document, one or more Shares. Restricted Stock Units may, among other things, be subject to restrictions on transferability, vesting requirements or other specified circumstances under which they may be canceled.  If and when the cancellation provisions lapse, the Restricted Stock Units shall become Shares owned by the applicable Participant or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, cash, or a combination of cash and Shares, with a value equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of payment.
 
 
9.   Stock Appreciation Rights
 
(a)  General.  The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Individuals. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle a Participant to receive, upon satisfaction of the conditions to payment specified in the applicable Award Document, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the number of Shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised over the grant price for such Stock Appreciation Right specified in the applicable Award Document. The grant price per share of Shares covered by a Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant or, alternatively, shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall the grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; provided , however , that the grant price of a Substitute Award granted as a Stock Appreciation Rights shall be in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value. Payments to a Participant upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash or Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the number of Shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised over the grant price for such Stock Appreciation Right. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right settled in Shares shall not exceed ten (10) years.
 
(b)  Stock Appreciation Rights in Tandem with Options.  A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted either at the same time as such Option or subsequent thereto. If granted in tandem with an Option, a Stock Appreciation Right shall cover the same number of Shares as covered by the Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent the related Option shall be exercisable, and shall have the same term as the related Option. The grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option shall equal the per-share exercise price of the Option to which it relates. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option, the related Option shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of Shares covered by such exercise; conversely, if the related Option is exercised as to some or all of the Shares covered by the tandem grant, the tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of Shares covered by the Option exercise.
 
 
10.  Terms and Conditions of Performance Stock and Performance Share Units

At the sole discretion of the Committee, Performance Share Units shall be settled through the delivery of Shares or cash, or a combination of Shares and cash.
 
 
11.  Other Awards
 
The Committee shall have the authority to specify the terms and provisions of other forms of equity- or cash-based Awards not described above that the Committee determines to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan and the interests of the Company, which Awards may provide for cash payments or settlement in Shares. To the extent that any such Awards which constitute “full value” awards are to be settled in Shares and are performance-based, the minimum period of restriction shall be one (1) year. Awards which constitute “full value” awards and are to be settled in Shares that have no performance-based criteria other than the Participant’s continued service shall have a minimum period of restriction of three (3) years.
 
 
12.  Certain Restrictions
 
(a)  Transfers. No Award shall be transferable other than pursuant to a beneficiary designation under Section 12(c), by last will and testament or by the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order, as the case may be; provided , however , that the Committee may, subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations and such terms and conditions as it shall specify, permit the transfer of an Award, other than an Incentive Stock Option, for no consideration to a Permitted Transferee. Any Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall be further transferable only by last will and testament or the laws of descent and distribution or, for no consideration, to another Permitted Transferee of the Participant.
 
(b)  Award Exercisable Only by Participant.  During the lifetime of a Participant, an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant or by a Permitted Transferee to whom such Award has been transferred in accordance with Section 12(a) above. The grant of an Award shall impose no obligation on a Participant to exercise or settle the Award.
 
(c)  Beneficiary Designation.  The beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Participant to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit shall be determined under the Company’s Group Life Insurance Plan. A Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, including the beneficiary designated under the Company’s Group Life Insurance Plan, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing (in such form or manner as may be prescribed by the Committee) with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of a valid designation under the Company’s Group Life Insurance Plan or otherwise, if no validly designated beneficiary survives the Participant or if each surviving validly designated beneficiary is legally impaired or prohibited from receiving the benefits under an Award, the Participant’s beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate.
 
 
13.  Recapitalization or Reorganization
 
(a)  Authority of the Company and Stockholders.  The existence of the Plan, the Award Documents and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Shares or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
 
(b)  Change in Capitalization.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Document, the number and kind of Shares authorized for issuance under Section 5 of the Plan, including the maximum number of Shares available under the special limits provided for in Section 5(c), shall be equitably adjusted in the sole discretion of the Committee in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, reclassification, merger, consolidation, separation, extraordinary cash dividend, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of Shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase Shares at a price substantially below Fair Market Value, or any other corporate event or distribution of stock or property of the Company affecting the Shares in order to preserve, but not increase, the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. In addition, upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, the number and kind of Shares subject to any outstanding Award and the exercise price per Share (or the grant price per Share, as the case may be), if any, under any outstanding Award shall be equitably adjusted (including by payment of cash to a Participant) in the sole discretion of the Committee in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to Participants. Such adjustments shall be made by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such adjusted Awards shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting or settlement schedule to which the underlying Award is subject.
 
 
14.  Term of the Plan
 
Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 16, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Effective Date, except with respect to Awards then outstanding. No Awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Effective Date.  No Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after February 28, 2017, the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board.  To the extent (but only to the extent) required by Section 162(m) of the Code, no Award that is intended to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) shall be granted after the first shareholder meeting in 2012 unless the material terms of the performance goal for the Award have been disclosed to and reapproved by shareholders before that date.
 
 
15.  Effective Date
 
The Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date.
 
 
16.  Amendment and Termination
 
Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board may at any time terminate or, from time to time, amend, modify or suspend the Plan; provided , however , that no termination, amendment, modification or suspension (i) will be effective without the approval of the stockholders of the Company if such approval is required under applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the rules of NYSE and (ii) shall materially and adversely alter or impair the rights of a Participant in any Award previously made under the Plan without the consent of the holder thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall have broad authority to amend the Plan or any Award under the Plan without the consent of a Participant to the extent it deems necessary or desirable (a) to comply with, take into account changes in, or interpretations of, applicable tax laws, securities laws, employment laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, (b) to take into account unusual or nonrecurring events or market conditions (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 13(b)), or (c) to take into account significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets or other property by the Company.
 
 
17.  Miscellaneous
 
(a)  Tax Withholding.  The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, may require any individual entitled to receive a payment of an Award to remit to the Company, prior to payment, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements. In the case of an Award payable in Shares, the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit taxes by the Company withholding Shares that would otherwise be received by such individual or repurchasing Shares that were issued to the Participant to satisfy the (i) minimum statutory withholding rates within the United States, or (ii) in accordance with local tax jurisdictions outside the United States, as applicable, for any applicable tax withholding purposes, in accordance with all applicable laws and pursuant to such rules as the Committee may establish from time to time. The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant (whether or not such payment is made in connection with an Award) any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments.
 
(b)  No Right to Awards or Employment.  No person shall have any claim or right to receive Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan, the grant of Awards under the Plan nor any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan shall be deemed to create or confer on any Eligible Individual any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate the employment of such Eligible Individual at any time. No Award shall constitute salary or contractual compensation for the year of grant, any later year or any other period of time. Payments received by a Participant under any Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of employment-related rights or benefits under any other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company and the Subsidiaries, unless otherwise specifically provided for under the terms of such plan or arrangement or by the Committee.
 
(c)  Securities Law Restrictions.  An Award may not be exercised or settled, and no Shares may be issued in connection with an Award, unless the issuance of such Shares (i) has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) has qualified under applicable state “blue sky” laws (or the Company has determined that an exemption from registration and from qualification under such state “blue sky” laws is available) and (iii) complies with all applicable foreign securities laws. All certificates for Shares 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 Securities and Exchange Commission, any exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable 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.
 
(d)    S ection 162(m) of the Code.  The Plan is intended to comply in all respects with Section 162(m) of the Code; provided , however , that in the event the Committee determines that compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code is not desired with respect to a particular Award (or portion of an Award), compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code will not be required. In addition, if any provision of this Plan would cause Awards or portions of Awards that are intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, to fail to so qualify, that provision shall be severed from, and shall be deemed not to be a part of, the Plan, but the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.
 
(e)  Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or an Award Document, if any provision of the Plan or an Award Document contravenes any regulations or guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code or would cause an Award to be subject to additional taxes, accelerated taxation, interest and/or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of the Plan or Award Document may be modified by the Committee without the consent of the Participant in any manner the Committee deems reasonable or necessary. In making such modifications the Committee shall attempt, but shall not be obligated, to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without contravening the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Committee may have pursuant to the Plan shall not be applicable to an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent such discretionary authority would contravene Section 409A of the Code or the guidance promulgated thereunder.
 
(f)    Awards to Individuals Subject to Laws of a Jurisdiction Outside of the United States.  To the extent that Awards under the Plan are awarded to Eligible Individuals who are domiciled or reside outside of the United States or to persons who are domiciled or reside in the United States but who are subject to the tax laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, the Committee may adjust the terms of the Awards granted hereunder to such person (i) to comply with the laws, rules and regulations of such jurisdiction and (ii) to permit the grant of the Award not to be a taxable event to the Participant. The authority granted under the previous sentence shall include the discretion for the Committee to adopt, on behalf of the Company, one or more sub-plans applicable to separate classes of Eligible Individuals who are subject to the laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States.
 
(g)  Satisfaction of Obligations.  Subject to applicable law, the Company may apply any cash, Shares, securities or other consideration received upon exercise or settlement of an Award to any obligations a Participant owes to the Company and the Subsidiaries in connection with the Plan or otherwise, including, without limitation, any tax obligations or obligations under a currency facility established in connection with the Plan.
 
(h)  No Limitation on Corporate Actions.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from taking any corporate action, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on any Awards made under the Plan. No Participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any such action.
 
(i)  Unfunded Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan for incentive compensation. Prior to the issuance of Shares, cash or other form of payment in connection with an Award, nothing contained herein shall give any Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. The Committee may, but is not obligated to, authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares with respect to awards hereunder.
 
(j)  Successors.  All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
 
(k)  Application of Funds.  The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Awards will be used for general corporate purposes.
 
(l)  Award Document.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and any Award Document, the Plan shall govern and the Award Document shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such conflict or inconsistency.
 
(m)  Headings.  The headings of Sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.
 
(n)  Severability.  If any provision of this Plan is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan.
 
(o)    Expenses.    The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
 
(p)  Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law.  Except as to matters of federal law, the Plan and all actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Rhode Island. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan or any award under the Plan shall be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Rhode Island, and no other court, agency or tribunal shall have jurisdiction to resolve any such dispute, controversy or claim.
 
(q)    Compliance with Individual Tax Requirements.   The Plan is intended, and shall be interpreted, to provide compensation that is exempt from Section 409A , or that complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A.  The Company does not warrant that the Plan will comply with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Participant or with respect to any payment, however.  In no event shall the Company; any Subsidiary; any director, officer, or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary; or any member of the Committee be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy any other requirements of applicable tax laws.

TEXTRON 2007 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(5/2007)
 



1.   Grant of Options .  Pursuant to instructions of the Organization and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board and pursuant to the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Textron has granted to Optionee the right and option (the "Option") to purchase all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares") set forth on the applicable Notice of Grant signed by Textron and Optionee (the “Notice of Grant”) on the terms and conditions herein set forth.

2.     Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Option Shares shall be the price set forth on the Notice of Grant, which is the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

3.   Term of Option and Period of Exercise .  The Option shall expire on the date set forth on the Notice of Grant (ten years from the Date of Grant), subject to earlier expiration or termination as hereinafter provided.  Except as provided in Section 6(c) or (d) or Section 9 hereof, the Option may not be exercised for one year from the Date of Grant; after one year from the Date of Grant, the Option may be exercised for up to one-third of the Option Shares; after two years from the Date of Grant, the Option may be exercised for up to two-thirds of the Option Shares; and after three years from the Date of Grant, the Option may be exercised as to all remaining Option Shares.  The Option shall not be exercisable for less than 50 Option Shares (or the remaining number of Option Shares if that number is less than 50) or after it shall have expired or terminated.

4.   Exercise of Option .  

(a)  Subject to these terms and conditions and the Stock Option Non-Competition Agreement entered into in consideration of  this Option, the Option may be exercised by written notice to Textron, at its principal office, at 40 Westminster Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02903, Attention:  Stock Plan Lead, Executive Rewards.  Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option and the number of Option Shares in respect of which it is being exercised, and shall be signed by the person or person so exercising the Option.  Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of said Option Shares, upon the receipt of which Textron shall issue and deliver as soon as practicable a certificate or certificates representing said Option Shares. The certificate or certificates for said Option Shares shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising the Option  (or, if the Option shall be exercised by Optionee and if Optionee shall so request in  the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the name of Optionee and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as aforesaid to or upon the written order of the person or persons exercising the Option.  During the life of the optionee, an option shall be exercisable only by the optionee or by the optionee’s guardian or legal representative.  In the event the Option is being exercised pursuant to Section 6(d) by any person or persons other than Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.  All Option Shares issued as provided herein will be fully paid and nonassessable.  Textron shall pay all original issue taxes, if any, with respect to the issuance thereof.

(b)  The purchase price of the Option Shares shall be paid in full at the time of exercise at the election of Optionee (1) in cash, (2) by tendering to Textron shares of Common Stock then owned by Optionee having a fair market value equal to such purchase price on the date of exercise or (3) partly in cash and partly in shares of Common Stock valued at fair market value on the date of exercise.  To the extent that payment is made in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing the amount of such payment by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of payment.  Except as provided in Section 6, the Option may not be exercised unless Optionee was an optionee of either Textron or a Subsidiary at all times from the Date of Grant through the date of exercise.  Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder of Textron unless and until a certificate for shares of Common Stock shall have been issued to Optionee.

5.   Non-Assignability of Option .  The Option shall not be assignable or transferable by Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

6.   Termination of Employment .  

(a)  If Optionee's employment with Textron or a Subsidiary shall terminate for cause, all Option(s) held by the Optionee shall expire immediately.

(b)  If Optionee's employment with Textron or a Subsidiary shall terminate after Optionee has become eligible for normal or early retirement, and if Section 6(a) does not apply, Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option within 36 months after termination to the extent the Option is exercisable at the time of exercise.  Early Retirement with Textron is defined as attainment of age 60, the completion of 20 years of vesting service, or the attainment of age 55 with the completion of 10 years of vesting service.  Normal Retirement with Textron is age 65.

(c)  If Optionee's employment with Textron or a Subsidiary shall terminate as a result of Optionee's total disability, Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option as to all unexercised Option Shares (whether or not the Option was fully exercisable at the time of termination of employment) until the expiration of its term.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "total disability" shall mean the inability of the executive to engage in any substantial gainful activity due to injury, illness, disease, bodily or mental infirmity which can be expected to result in death or is expected to be permanent.  An individual shall not be considered disabled unless Optionee furnishes proof of the existence thereof.  Textron may required the existence or non-existence of a disability to be determined by a physician whose selection is mutually agreed upon by the executive (or his or her representatives) and Textron.

(d)  If Optionee shall die while employed by Textron or a Subsidiary or while the Option is still exercisable under Section 6(b), (c) or (e), the Option may be exercised as to all unexercised Option Shares (whether or not the Option was fully exercisable at the time of death) within a period of one year from the date of Optionee's death by the executor or administrator of Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom Optionee shall have transferred such right by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

(e)  If Optionee's employment with Textron and its related companies shall terminate for any reason not specified in Sections 6(a), (b), (c) or (d), Optionee shall have the right to exercise each Option granted to the Optionee within three months after Optionee's termination (or within such later time, up to 36 months after his or her termination of employment, as the Committee may determine) but, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, only to the extent the Option is exercisable at the time of such termination of employment.  In no event, however, shall an option be exercisable under this Section 6(e) for six months from the Date of Grant.

(f)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

7.   No Right to Employment .  Nothing in this document shall confer upon Optionee the right to continue in the employment of Textron or a Subsidiary or affect any right which Textron or a Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of Optionee.

8.   Corporate Changes .  The number of Option Shares and the purchase price thereof shall both be equitably adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or any other corporate event affecting the Common Stock, as provided in the Plan, in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to the Optionee.
 
9.   Change in Control .  In the event of a change in control of Textron as defined in Section 2(a) of the Plan, and except as otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the change in control, each unexpired Option shall be exercisable, beginning immediately, as to all remaining Option Shares subject to the Option.

10.  Definition of Certain Terms .  Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

11.  Option Subject to Plan .  The Option is in all respects subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that termination or amendment of the Plan (except amendments as required by technical corrections of the Code) shall not, without the consent of Optionee, adversely affect Optionee's rights under the Option.

12.  Non-Qualified Option .  The Option is a "Non-Qualified Option" as defined in the Plan and not an "incentive stock option" under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended.

13.  Administration .  Pursuant to Section 3(d) of the Plan, the Board at any time may designate one or more officers or committees of Textron to act in place of the Committee in making certain determinations under the Plan.

14.  Withholding Taxes .  Whenever Textron proposes or is required to issue or transfer Option Shares, Textron shall have the right to withhold or to require the optionee to remit to Textron an amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements.  Whenever under the Plan payments by Textron are to be made in cash, such payments shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements.

          15.   Cause.   “Cause” shall mean:  (i) an act or acts of willful misrepresentation, fraud or willful dishonesty (other than good faith expense account disputes) by the executive which in any case in intended to result in his or another person or entity’s substantial personal enrichment at the expense of Textron: (ii) any willful misconduct by the executive with regard to Textron, its business, assets, or employees that has, or was intended to have a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron:  (iii) any material, willful and knowing violation by the executive of (x) Textron’s Business Conduct Guidelines, or (y) any of his or her fiduciary duties to Textron which in either case has, or was intended to have, a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron; (iv) the willful or reckless behavior of the executive with regard to a matter of a material nature which has a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron: (v) the executive’s willful failure to attempt to perform his or her duties or his or her willful failure to attempt to follow the legal written direction of the Board, which in either case is not remedied within ten (10) days after receipt by the executive of a written notice from Textron specifying the details thereof; or (vi) the executive’s conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere or guilty to, a felony (other than (x) a traffic infraction or (y) vicarious liability solely as a result of his position provided the executive did not have actual knowledge of the actions or in actions creating the violation of the law or the executive relied in good faith on the advice of counsel with regard to the legality of such action or inaction (or the advice of other specifically qualified professionals as to the appropriate or proper action or inaction to take with regard to matters which are not matters of legal interpretation); No action or inaction should be deemed willful if not demonstrably willful and if taken or not taken by the executive in good faith as not being adverse to the best interests of Textron. Reference in this paragraph to Textron shall also include direct and indirect subsidiaries of Textron, and materiality and material adverse impact shall be measured based on the action or inaction and the impact upon, and not the size of, Textron taken as a whole, provided that after a Change in Control, the size of Textron, taken as a whole, shall be a relevant factor in determining materiality and material adverse impact.

Reference in this paragraph to Textron shall also include direct and indirect subsidiaries of Textron, and materiality and material adverse impact shall be measured based on the action or inaction and the impact upon, and not the size of, Textron taken as a whole, provided that after a Change in Control, the size of Textron, taken as a whole, shall be a relevant factor in determining materiality and material adverse impact.

TEXTRON INC.
TEXTRON 2007 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
  (5/2007A)

·  
Pursuant to the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Textron has awarded to executive the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth on the applicable Notice of Grant signed by Textron and Grantee on the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Restricted Stock Unit constitutes the right to receive one share (a “Share”) of Common Stock.  As the applicable “Period of Restriction” lapses, Textron will issue to the executive that number of Shares less the number of Shares needed to satisfy required statutory withholding. Shares may be issued in the form of a certificate or a notification to the executive that the Shares are held in a book-entry account on the executive’s behalf.

·  
If the executive’s employment with Textron shall terminate for “Cause,” all Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units awarded to the executive that are still subject to the applicable “Period of Restriction" shall be forfeited.

·  
Except as otherwise provided herein, the executive shall not be entitled to receive Shares if the executive’s employment with Textron ends for any reason prior to the end of the Period of Restriction applicable to such Shares, provided that if the executive’s employment ends prior to such date and at least three years after the date of grant because of “Disability,” death or after the executive has become eligible for “Early or Normal Retirement,” the executive or the executive’s estate will receive a certificate for a “Pro-Rata Portion” of such Shares.

·  
Notwithstanding the above, the applicable Period of Restriction for the Shares which may be issued pursuant to this Award shall end immediately upon a “Change in Control” of Textron, as defined in the Plan. In such instance, Textron shall issue the Shares to the executive (or to the executive’s estate in the event of the executive’s death prior to payment) as soon as administratively practical after the Change in Control. Note: Sale of a business unit usually does not constitute a Change in Control as defined in the Plan. If executive’s employment with Textron is involuntarily terminated due to the sale of a business that does not constitute a Change in Control as defined in the Plan, executive’s then-unissued Shares will be forfeited.

·  
The number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units awarded to the executive hereunder shall be equitably adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or any other corporate event affecting the Common Stock, as provided in the Plan, in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to the Grantee.

·  
Nothing in this document shall confer upon the executive the right to continue in the employment of Textron or affect any right that Textron may have to terminate the employment of the executive.

·  
The Restricted Stock Units shall not be assignable or transferable by the executive.  The Shares, once issued to the executive, shall be freely transferable.

·  
The executive shall not have voting rights nor will the executive qualify for dividends with respect to the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units during the Period of Restriction.

·  
The Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan in all respects.

DEFINITIONS
 
“Cause”
 
 
"Cause" shall mean: (i) an act or acts of willful misrepresentation, fraud or willful dishonesty (other than good faith expense account disputes) by the executive which in any case is intended to result in his or another person or entity’s substantial personal enrichment at the expense of Textron; (ii) any willful misconduct by the executive with regard to Textron, its business, assets or employees that has, or was intended to have, a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron; (iii) any material, willful and knowing violation by the executive of (x) Textron's Business Conduct Guidelines, or (y) any of his or her fiduciary duties to Textron which in either case has, or was intended to have, a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron; (iv) the willful or reckless behavior of the executive with regard to a matter of a material nature which has a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron; (v) the executive's willful failure to attempt to perform his or her duties or his or her willful failure to attempt to follow the legal written direction of the Board, which in either case is not remedied within ten (10) days after receipt by the executive of a written notice from Textron specifying the details thereof; or (vi) the executive's conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere or guilty to, a felony (other than (x) a traffic infraction or (y) vicarious liability solely as a result of his position provided the executive did not have actual knowledge of the actions or in actions creating the violation of the law or the executive relied in good faith on the advice of counsel with regard to the legality of such action or inaction (or the advice of other specifically qualified professionals as to the appropriate or proper action or inaction to take with regard to matters which are not matters of legal interpretation); No action or inaction should be deemed willful if not demonstrably willful and if taken or not taken by the executive in good faith as not being adverse to the best interests of Textron. Reference in this paragraph to Textron shall also include direct and indirect subsidiaries of Textron, and materiality and material adverse impact shall be measured based on the action or inaction and the impact upon, and not the size of, Textron taken as a whole, provided that after a Change in Control, the size of Textron, taken as a whole, shall be a relevant factor in determining materiality and material adverse impact.
 
 
“Period of Restriction”
 

For the purposes of this grant, the Period of Restriction means, for any Share which may be issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit, the period prior to the date on which such Share becomes issuable.

“Early or Normal Retirement”

“Early retirement” with Textron is defined as attainment of age 60 or the completion of 20 years of vesting service or the attainment of age 55 with the completion of 10 years of vesting service. “Normal retirement” with Textron is age 65.
 
“Disability”

“Disability", shall mean, for purposes of this award, the inability of the executive to engage in any substantial gainful activity due to injury, illness, disease, bodily or mental infirmity which can be expected to result in death or is expected to be permanent.  An individual shall not be considered disabled unless executive furnishes proof of the existence thereof.  Textron may required the existence or non-existence of a disability to be determined by a physician whose selection is mutually agreed upon by the executive (or his or her representatives) and Textron.
 


“Pro-Rata Portion”

“Pro-Rata Portion” shall mean the number of complete or partial months of executive’s active service to Textron during the Period of Restriction divided by the number of months in the Period of Restriction.  An employee must be employed by Textron for a minimum of three years after the grant date before pro-rata Shares may be issued.

Example: On July 16, 2003, an executive was granted 2,500 Restricted Stock Units constituting the right to receive 2,500 Shares to be issued in accordance with the following vesting schedule:
 

Shares
Vest Dates
834
July 16, 2006
833
July 16, 2007
833
July 16, 2008

The executive terminates employment with Textron on August 30, 2006 after having attained age 55 with the completion of 10 years of vesting service.
 

Because the executive’s age and years of service qualify as ‘early retirement’ and executive was employed by Textron for three years after the grant date, the executive is eligible for the issuance of a pro-rata portion of the Shares. The number of Shares earned would be calculated as follows:



Vest Date
Shares Issuable
 
Number of Complete or Partial Months Employed by Textron During the Period of Restriction (1)
 
Number of Months in the Period of Restriction

(4) July 16, 2003 – July 16, 2008

*Fractional Shares will be paid in cash. For instance, if the share price is $90 on the date that the Shares are issued, then Textron would pay the executive $2.24 (.0249 X $90 = $2.24)

Exhibit 10.5

 


 
TEXTRON SPILLOVER SAVINGS PLAN
 

 
Effective January 1, 2008
 
 




Textron Spillover Savings Plan
Effective January 1, 2008



 
 
Introduction
 
The Textron Spillover Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement.   The Plan is a continuation of the defined contribution portions of the Supplemental Benefits Plan for Textron Key Executives (the “Key Executive Plan”) and the Textron Supplemental Benefits Plan for Executives (the “Executive Plan”).  The defined contribution portions of these plans were separated from the defined benefit portions of the plans effective January 1, 2007, and the defined benefit portions were combined to form the Textron Spillover Pension Plan.  The defined contribution portions of the Key Executive Plan and the Executive Plan were continued as separate plans, the   Supplemental Savings Plan for Textron Key Executives and the Textron Supplemental Savings Plan for Executives, on and after January 1, 2007.  These two plans are now being combined, effective January 1, 2008, to form the Textron Spillover Savings Plan.
 
The Plan provides supplemental savings benefits for designated executives of Textron and its affiliates who participate in the Textron Savings Plan.  The Plan provides benefits that would have been payable under the Textron Savings Plan if not for the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”).
 
Appendix A and Appendix B of the Plan set forth the defined contribution provisions of the Key Executive Plan and the Executive Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, when IRC Section 409A was enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  Supplemental savings benefits that were earned and vested (within the meaning of Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increase that is permitted to be included in such amounts under IRC Section 409A, are calculated and paid solely as provided in Appendix A or Appendix B, whichever is applicable, and are not subject to any other provisions of the Textron Spillover Savings Plan.
 
A Key Executive’s supplemental savings benefits that were earned or vested after 2004 and before January 1, 2008, under the Key Executive Plan are subject to the provisions of IRC Section 409A.  These benefits are calculated under Appendix A, but are paid exclusively as provided in the Textron Spillover Savings Plan (not including Appendix A).  Although the provisions of the Textron Spillover Savings Plan generally are effective as of January 1, 2008, the provisions that govern the distribution of benefits earned or vested after 2004 under the Key Executive Plan are effective as of January 1, 2005.
 
Supplemental savings benefits provided under the Executive Plan generally are paid out no later than March 15 following the year in which the benefits are credited to a participant’s account.  In a few cases, however, supplemental savings benefits that were earned and vested under the Executive Plan before January 1, 2005, remained unpaid as of the date on which this Plan was established.  These benefits will be paid to the Participants in a lump sum in January of 2008.  Any benefits that were credited under the Executive Plan between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2007, shall be paid exclusively as provided in Appendix B.
 
Appendix A permits a Participant to request a distribution option before the end of 2007 for the benefits payable under that Appendix.  This special election provision is effective as of July 25, 2007, the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board.

Article III – Spillover Savings Benefit

3.01  
Supplemental Matching Contribution .  If a Participant contributes at least 10% of eligible compensation to the Textron Savings Plan during a calendar year, the Participant’s Account under the Plan shall be credited with a supplemental matching contribution equal to (1) 5% [i.e., 50% of 10%] of the Participant’s Compensation, reduced by (2) the Participant’s actual matching contribution for the calendar year under the Textron Savings Plan.  If a Participant participates in a Qualified Savings Plan other than the Textron Savings Plan, the Participant shall receive a comparable supplemental matching contribution in an amount sufficient to restore the portion of the matching contribution lost because of the application of the Statutory Limit to eligible compensation under the Qualified Savings Plan.  The Participant must be employed by a Textron Company on December 31 of the calendar year in order to receive a supplemental matching contribution for that calendar year.

3.02  
Crediting Contributions .  Textron shall credit the supplemental matching contribution to a Participant’s Account after the end of the calendar year for which the supplemental matching contribution is made, but not later than March 15 of the following year.  The credit shall be made as a number of Supplemental Shares determined by dividing the amount of the supplemental matching contribution for the calendar year by the average of the composite closing prices of Textron common stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal for each trading day in the calendar year for which the credit is made.

3.03  
Crediting Dividend Equivalents and Other Adjustments . Textron shall credit additional Supplemental Shares to a Participant’s Account in each calendar quarter to reflect the dividend equivalents attributable to the Supplemental Shares that were credited to the Participant’s Account on the record date.  The number of additional Supplemental Shares shall be determined by dividing the dividend amount by the average of the composite closing prices of Textron common stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal for the month in which the record date occurs.  The number of Supplemental Shares credited to a Participant’s Account shall be adjusted, without receipt of any consideration by Textron, on account of any stock split, stock dividend, or similar increase or decrease affecting Textron common stock, as if the Supplemental Shares were actual shares of Textron common stock.

3.04  
Converting Supplemental Shares to Cash .  All distributions from the Plan shall be made in cash.  The cash value distributed will be determined by multiplying the current value of Textron common stock by the number of whole and fractional Supplemental Shares in the Participant’s Account as of the distribution date.  The current value of a share of Textron common stock on the distribution date shall be the average of the composite closing prices, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, for the first ten trading days of the calendar month following the Participant’s Separation From Service, death, or Total Disability.

Article IV – Vesting

4.01  
Vesting Schedule .  Except as provided in Section 4.02, a Participant’s Account shall be vested to the same extent that the Participant’s matching contribution account under the Qualified Savings Plan is vested.  Any portion of the Participant’s Account that is not vested at the time of the Participant’s Separation From Service shall be forfeited.

4.02  
Change in Control .  In the event of a Change in Control, a Participant’s Account shall become fully vested.

5.02   
Disability or Death .  If a Participant dies or suffers a Total Disability before his Account is distributed, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a lump sum in cash on the last business day of the month following his death or Total Disability.   The Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan shall be the same as the Participant’s beneficiary under the Qualified Savings Plan.  If a Beneficiary is receiving installment payments as of December 31, 2007, any remaining installments due after 2007 shall be aggregated and paid in a lump sum on the first business day of January 2008.

5.03  
Administrative Adjustments in Payment Date .  A payment is treated as being made on the date when it is due under the Plan if the payment is made on the due date specified by the Plan, or on a later date that is either (a) in the same calendar year (for a payment whose specified due date is on or before September 30), or (b) by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date specified by the Plan (for a payment whose specified due date is on or after October 1).  A payment also is treated as being made on the date when it is due under the Plan if the payment is made not more than 30 days before the due date specified by the Plan, provided that the payment is not made earlier than six months after the Participant’s Separation From Service.  A Participant may not, directly or indirectly, designate the taxable year of a payment made in reliance on the administrative rules in this Section 5.03.

5.04  
Distribution Upon Change in Control .  Subject to the following sentence, if a Change in Control also qualifies as a “change in control” under IRC Section 409A, the Participant’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum in cash on the first business day of the month following the Change in Control.  If a Participant’s Separation From Service occurred before the Change in Control, the lump sum payment under this Section 5.04 shall not be made earlier than six months after the Participant’s Separation From Service.

5.05  
Distributions Before January 1, 2008 .  Distributions after 2004 and before the effective date of the Plan were made in good faith compliance with IRC Section 409A and Internal Revenue Service guidance interpreting IRC Section 409A.

Article VI – Unfunded Plan

6.01  
No Plan Assets .  Benefits provided under this Plan are unfunded obligations of Textron.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall require Textron to segregate any monies from its general funds, to create any trust, to make any special deposits, or to purchase any policies of insurance with respect to such obligations.  If Textron elects to purchase individual policies of insurance on one or more of the Participants to help finance its obligations under this Plan, such individual policies and the proceeds of the policies shall at all times remain the sole property of Textron and neither the Participants whose lives are insured not their Beneficiaries shall have any ownership rights in such policies of insurance.
 
6.02  
Top-Hat Plan Status .  The Plan is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

9.04  
Controlling State Law .  This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

9.05  
No Right to Employment .  Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between any Participant and any Textron Company, or to suggest or create a right in any Participant of continued employment at any Textron Company.

9.06  
Additional Conditions Imposed .  Textron, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer, and the Benefits Committee may impose such other lawful terms and conditions on participation in this Plan as deemed desirable.  The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Human Resources Officer, and members of the Benefits Committee may participate in this Plan.

TEXTRON SPILLOVER SAVINGS PLAN

Defined Contribution Provisions
of the
Supplemental Benefits Plan for
Textron Key Executives
(As in effect before January 1, 2008)
 





         Textron Spillover Savings Plan       
      
         Appendix A — Key Executive Plan       
      
        
        
Introduction
 
A.
Key Executive Plan
 
(As in Effect Before January 1, 2007)
 
Before 2007, the Supplemental Benefits Plan for Textron Key Executives (the “Key Executive Plan”) was a separate unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement for designated key executives of Textron and its affiliates.  The Key Executive Plan supplemented key executives’ benefits under Textron’s tax-qualified defined benefit plans and tax-qualified defined contribution plans by providing benefits that exceeded the statutory limits under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).  The Key Executive Plan also provided supplemental pension benefits based on certain elements of key executives’ compensation that were not included in pensionable compensation under the tax-qualified defined benefit plans.
 
B.
Supplemental Savings Plan for Textron Key Executives
 
(Effective January 1, 2007)
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the defined benefit portion of the Key Executive Plan was separated from the defined contribution portion of the Key Executive Plan.  The defined benefit portion of the Key Executive Plan continued as part of the Textron Spillover Pension Plan, and the defined contribution portion of the Key Executive Plan continued as a separate plan, the Supplemental Savings Plan for Textron Key Executives.

C.
Textron Spillover Savings Plan
 
(Effective January 1, 2008)
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Supplemental Savings Plan for Textron Key Executives and the Textron Supplemental Savings Plan for Executives were merged to form the Textron Spillover Savings Plan.
 
D.
Key Executive Protected Benefits
 
(Earned and Vested Before 2005)
 
The portion of Appendix A that follows this Introduction sets forth the defined contribution provisions of the Key Executive Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, when IRC Section 409A was enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, with certain modifications imposing additional restrictions on distributions and changing provisions for measuring investment returns.  Key Executives’ supplemental savings benefits that were earned and vested (within the meaning of Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increase that is permitted to be included in such amounts under Section 409A (“Key Executive Protected Benefits”), are calculated and paid solely as provided in Appendix A, and are not subject to any other provisions of the Textron Spillover Savings Plan. 
 
The Key Executive Protected Benefits are not intended to be subject to IRC Section 409A.  No amendment to this Appendix A that would constitute a “material modification” for purposes of Section 409A shall be effective unless the amending instrument states that it is intended to materially modify Appendix A and to cause the Key Executive Protected Benefits to become subject to Section 409A.  Although the Key Executive Protected Benefits are not intended to be subject to Section 409A, no Textron Company (nor any director, officer, or other representative of a Textron Company) shall be liable for any adverse tax consequence suffered by a Participant or beneficiary if a Key Executive Protected Benefit becomes subject to Section 409A.

E.
Benefits Subject To Section 409A
 
(Earned or Vested From 2005 Through 2007)
 
Supplemental savings benefits earned by Key Executives after 2004, and supplemental savings benefits that became vested after 2004, are subject to the provisions of IRC Section 409A.  To the extent that these benefits were earned under the Key Executive Plan before January 1, 2008, the benefits shall be calculated under the provisions of the Key Executive Plan set forth in this Appendix A.  However, any benefits earned or vested under the Key Executive Plan after 2004 shall be paid exclusively as provided in the Textron Spillover Savings Plan (not including any appendix to the Textron Spillover Savings Plan), and shall not be subject to any provision of Appendix A that relates to the payment or distribution of benefits.  Although the provisions of the Textron Spillover Savings Plan generally are effective as of January 1, 2008, the provisions that govern the distribution of benefits earned or vested after 2004 under the Key Executive Plan are effective as of January 1, 2005.
 
Section 6.02(c) of Appendix A requires a Participant to make an election by the end of 2007 if the Participant wishes to request one of the distribution options in Section 6.02.  Section 1.08 of the Market Square Profit Sharing Plan Schedule requires a Participant to make an election by the end of 2007 if the Participant wishes to request one of the distribution options in Section 1.08.  These election provisions are effective as of July 25, 2007, the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board.
 
Key Executive Plan

Article III—Supplemental Savings Benefits
 
3.01
Textron shall maintain a supplemental savings account and a fixed income account for each Participant who participates in the Savings Plan for making credits, payments, and transfers described in this Article.
 
3.02
A Participant who contributes at least 10% of eligible compensation to the Textron Savings Plan each month shall receive a supplemental savings credit.  Textron shall, as of the end of each calendar month, credit Supplemental Shares to each supplemental savings account, equal to the lost employer contribution for the month divided by the average of the composite closing prices of Textron common stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal for the month.  The lost employer contribution for the month shall be equal to the Participant’s Savings Plan eligible compensation for the month times the Participant’s Savings Plan election percentage (not to exceed 10%) times 50%, less the employer contribution made to the Participant’s Savings Plan Account for the month.
 
 3.03
Textron shall, in each calendar quarter, credit Supplemental Shares to a Participant’s supplemental savings account equal in number to the number of shares of Textron common stock that would have been allocated on account of dividends to the Participant’s supplemental savings account as of that date, based on the average of the composite closing prices of Textron common stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal for the month in which the date of record occurs.
 
3.04
Amounts in the fixed income account shall earn interest at a monthly interest rate that is one twelfth of the average for the calendar month of the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Index as published by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor thereto), or, if such monthly yield is no longer published, a substantially similar average selected by the Benefits Committee.  Interest shall be credited on the last day of each calendar month on the average daily balance of the fixed income account during the month.
 
3.05
A Participant who has terminated her Textron employment may, once each calendar month, elect to transfer, in 5% increments (with a minimum transfer of 10% of the supplemental savings account), effective the first calendar day of the month following the minimum notice of three business days, any amount in her supplemental savings account to her fixed income account.  The cash value transferred will be determined by multiplying the current value of Textron common stock by the number of whole and fractional Supplemental Shares in her supplemental savings account as of the end of the month in which the election is made times the percentage being transferred.  If any portion of a Participant’s accounts under the Savings Plan shall be forfeited, a proportionate part of the Participant’s Supplemental Shares also shall be forfeited.  The current value of a share of Textron common stock at the transfer date shall be the average of the composite closing prices, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, for the first ten trading days of the effective month.
 
3.06
The number of Supplemental Shares credited to a Participant’s account under this Article III shall be adjusted, without receipt of any consideration by Textron, on account of any stock split, stock dividend, or similar increase or decrease affecting Textron common stock, as if the Supplemental Shares were actual shares of Textron common stock.
 
 
Article IV—Supplemental Included Plan Benefits
 
4.01
The Management Committee  may cause this Plan to provide supplemental benefits on account of an Included Plan by adopting a Schedule to this Plan.  The Schedule shall specify any special terms or conditions upon which the supplemental benefits shall be provided.  Except as specifically provided in a Schedule, all of the terms and conditions of this Plan shall apply to the Included Plan.
 
 
Article V—Unfunded Plan
 
5.01
Benefits to be provided under this Plan are unfunded obligations of Textron. Nothing contained in this Plan shall require Textron to segregate any monies from its general funds, to create any trust, to make any special deposits, or to purchase any policies of insurance with respect to such obligations.  If Textron elects to purchase individual policies of insurance on one or more of the Participants to help finance its obligations under this Plan, such individual policies and the proceeds therefrom shall at all times remain the sole property of Textron and neither the Participants whose lives are insured nor their beneficiaries shall have any ownership rights in such policies of insurance.
 
5.02
This Plan is intended in part to provide benefits for a select group of management employees who are highly compensated, within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and in part to be an excess benefit plan, pursuant to Section 3(36) of ERISA.
 
5.03
No Participant shall be required or permitted to make contributions to this Plan.
 
 
Article VI—Plan Administration
 
6.01
Textron shall be the plan administrator of this Plan and shall be solely responsible for its general administration and interpretation. Textron shall have all such powers as may be necessary to carry out the provisions hereof. Textron may from time to time establish rules for the administration of this Plan and the transaction of its business. Subject to Section 6.05, any action by Textron shall be final, conclusive, and binding on each Participant and all persons claiming by, through or under any Participant. Textron (and any person or persons to whom it delegates any of its authority as plan administrator) shall have discretionary authority to determine eligibility for Plan benefits, to construe the terms of the Plan, and to determine all questions arising in the administration of the Plan, and shall make all such determinations and interpretations in a nondiscriminatory manner.
 
6.02    
(a)      Except as provided in the following sentence, and in subsections (b), (c), and (d), below, the distribution of any account under Article III or Article IV shall be made at the same time, in the same manner, to the same persons and in the same proportions, as is made the payment or distribution under the related Savings Plan or Included Plan, or otherwise as determined by the Benefits Committee in its sole discretion. However, if a Participant’s supplemental savings account contains 50 or fewer Supplemental Shares at termination, such Participant’s supplemental savings account shall be paid in a single sum.  Textron may withhold from benefits and accounts under this Plan, any taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no benefit shall be paid to any Participant while employed by Textron.
 
            
(b)      Each amount then credited to the accounts under Article III and Article IV shall become due and payable to the respective Participants and beneficiaries immediately upon a Change in Control as defined in Section 7.03.
 
(c)           Effective for payments commencing on or after January 1, 2008, the Benefits Committee has exercised its discretion pursuant to subsection (a) to determine that all distributions shall be made or shall commence at the time of a Participant’s termination of employment in one of the following forms of payment:
 
(i)           A cash lump sum.
 
(ii)           Annual installments in cash over a period not exceeding 15 years (or the Participant’s life expectancy, if less), calculated each year by dividing the Participant’s unpaid account balance as of January 1 of that year by the remaining number of unpaid installments.  If a Participant dies while receiving installment payments, the remaining installments will be paid in a lump sum to the Participant’s designated beneficiary.
 
A Participant who wishes to request a form of payment must file an election, in a form acceptable to Textron, before December 31, 2007, to indicate her preferred form of payment; but all Participant elections shall be subject to the Benefits Committee’s discretion to change the elected form of payment.   If a Participant’s supplemental savings account contains 50 or fewer Supplemental Shares at termination, the Participant’s supplemental savings account shall be paid in a cash lump sum at the Participant’s termination of employment.  If a Participant who is still employed by a Textron Company fails to request a form of payment before the end of 2007, such Participant’s account shall be paid in a lump sum in cash six months after the Participant’s termination of employment.  If a Participant’s employment with all Textron Companies has terminated before the election deadline, and if the Participant fails to request a form of payment before the end of 2007, such Participant’s account shall be paid in a lump sum in cash in January 2008.
 
(d)           Effective January 1, 2008, any payment to a beneficiary shall be made in a lump sum in the month following the Participant’s death (or in January 2008, if later).  If a beneficiary is receiving installment payments as of December 31, 2007, any remaining installments due after 2007 shall be aggregated and paid in a lump sum in January 2008.
 
6.03
Textron may employ or engage such agents, accountants, actuaries, counsel, other experts and other persons as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan. Textron shall be entitled to rely upon all certifications made by an accountant selected by Textron.  Textron and its committees, officers, directors and employees shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by them in good faith in reliance upon the advice or opinion of any such agent, accountant, actuary, counsel or other expert.  All action so taken, suffered or omitted shall be conclusive upon each of them and upon all other persons interested in this Plan.
 
6.04
Textron may require proof of death or total disability of any Participant, former Participant or beneficiary and evidence of the right of any person to receive any Plan benefit.
 
6.05
Claims under this Plan shall be filed in writing with Textron, and shall be reviewed and resolved pursuant to the claims procedure in Section 7.05 of the Textron Spillover Savings Plan.
 
 
Article VII—Miscellaneous
 
7.01
Unless a contrary or different meaning is expressly provided, each use in this Plan of the masculine or feminine gender shall include the other and each use of the singular number shall include the plural.
 
7.02
(a)          Textron shall recognize the right of an alternate payee named in a domestic relations order to receive all or a portion of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan, provided that (1) the domestic relations order would be a “qualified domestic relations order” within the meaning of IRC Section 414(p) if IRC Section 414(p) were applicable to the Plan (except that the order may require payment to be made to the alternate payee before the Participant’s earliest retirement age), (2) the domestic relations order does not purport to give the alternate payee any right to assets of any Textron Company, (3) the domestic relations order does not purport to allow the alternate payee to defer payments beyond the date when the benefits assigned to the alternate payee would have been paid to the Participant, and (4) the domestic relations order does not require the Plan to make a payment to an alternate payee in any form other than a cash lump sum.
 
 
 
(b)            Except as provided in subsection (a) concerning domestic relations orders, no amount payable at any time under this Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of any kind to the extent that the assignment or other action would cause the amount to be included in the Participant’s gross income or treated as a distribution for federal income tax purposes.  A Participant may, with the written approval of the Benefits Committee, make an assignment of a benefit for estate planning or similar purposes if the assignment does not cause the amount to be included in the Participant’s gross income or treated as a distribution for federal income tax purposes.  Any attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any such benefit, whether presently or subsequently payable, shall be void unless so approved.  Except as required by law, no benefit payable under this Plan shall in any manner be subject to garnishment, attachment, execution or other legal process, or be liable for or subject to the debts or liability of any Participant or beneficiary
 
7.03
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, the Board or its designee shall have the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan at any time by written ratification of such action; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination:
 
 
(1)
shall reduce an amount credited to any supplemental account under Article III or Article IV of this Plan immediately before the effective date of the amendment, modification, suspension or termination; or
 
 
(2)
shall be made to Section 6.02 or 7.03 following a Change in Control.
 
 
If after a Change in Control any claim is made or any litigation is brought by a Participant or beneficiary to enforce or interpret any provision contained in this Plan, Textron and the “person” or “group” described in the next following sentence shall be liable, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Participant or beneficiary and to pay prejudgment interest on any recovery as provided in Section 7.06 of the Textron Spillover Savings Plan.
 
 
For purposes of this Plan, a “Change in Control” shall occur if (i) any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) other than Textron, any trustee or other fiduciary holding Textron common stock under an employee benefit plan of Textron or a related company, or any corporation which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of Textron in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Textron common stock, is or becomes (other than by acquisition from Textron or a related company) the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of more than 30% of the then outstanding voting stock of Textron, or (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board (and any new director whose election by the Board or whose nomination for election by Textron’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) stockholders of Textron approve a merger or consolidation of Textron with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of Textron outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Textron or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (iv) the stockholders of Textron approve a plan of complete liquidation of Textron or an agreement for the sale or disposition by Textron of all or substantially all of Textron’s assets.
 
7.04
This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
7.05
Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between any Participant and any Textron Company, or to suggest or create a right in any Participant to be continued in employment as a Key Executive or other employee of any Textron Company.
 
7.06
Textron, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer, and the Benefits Committee may impose such other lawful terms and conditions on participation in this Plan as deemed desirable. The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Human Resources Officer and members of the Benefits Committee may participate in this Plan.

Textron Spillover Savings Plan
Appendix A — Key Executive Plan
Market Square Profit Sharing Plan Schedule
 
This Schedule to the Supplemental Benefits Plan for Textron Key Executives (the “Key Executive Plan”) was restated effective January 1, 2000, pursuant to Article IV of the Key Executive Plan.  The Schedule is included herein as part of Appendix A to the Textron Spillover Savings Plan.  Appendix A sets forth the defined contribution provisions of the Key Executive Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004.
 
1.01
“Market Square Plan” means The Market Square Profit Sharing Plan, as amended and restated from time to time.
 
1.02
Textron shall maintain a stock unit account and a fixed income account for each participant for making credits, payments, and transfers described in this Schedule.
 
1.03
Textron shall, in each calendar quarter, credit Supplemental Shares to a Participant’s stock unit account equal in number to the number of shares of Textron common stock that would have been allocated on account of dividends to the Participant’s stock unit account as of that date, based on the average of the composite closing prices of Textron common stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal for the month in which the date of record occurs.
 
1.04
Amounts in the fixed income account shall earn interest at a monthly interest rate that is the average for the calendar month of the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Index as published by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor thereto), or, if such monthly yield is no longer published, a substantially similar average selected by the Benefits Committee.  Interest shall be credited on the last day of each calendar month on the average daily balance of the fixed income account during the month.
 
1.05
A Participant who has terminated her Textron employment may, once each calendar month, elect to transfer, in 5% increments (with a minimum transfer of 10% of the stock unit account), effective the first calendar day of the month following the minimum notice of three business days, any amount in her stock unit account to her general fund account.  The cash value transferred will be determined by multiplying the current value of Textron common stock by the number of whole and fractional Supplemental Shares in her stock unit account as of the end of the month in which the election is made times the percentage being transferred.  The current value of a share of Textron common stock at the transfer date shall be the average of the composite closing prices, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, for the first ten trading days of the effective month.
 
1.06
The number of Supplemental Shares credited to a Participant’s account under this schedule shall be adjusted, without receipt of any consideration by Textron, on account of any stock split, stock dividend, or similar increase or decrease affecting Textron common stock, as if the Supplemental Shares were actually shares of Textron common stock.
 
1.07
Subject to Section 1.08, below, benefits shall become payable upon the Participant’s termination of Textron employment or such other time as determined by the Benefits Committee in its sole discretion.  Textron, upon the written instructions of the Benefits Committee or its designee, shall distribute the benefits in accordance with any one or a combination of the following methods after considering any method of payment requested by the Participant or by the beneficiaries entitled to receive the benefits:
 
(1)  
Payment in a single sum.
 
(2)  
Payment in a number of annual installments, each payable as soon as practicable after the end of each successive calendar year, over a period not exceeding the life expectancy of the payee or his primary beneficiary (whichever is greater) determined as of the  date on which the benefits first became payable.  The annual installments shall be calculated each year by dividing the unpaid amount of the benefits as of January 1 of that year by the remaining number of unpaid installments.  Plan benefits payable under Section 1.07 shall begin to be paid not later than April 1 of the calendar year that begins after the date the Participant attains or would have attained age 70½.
 
1.08
Effective for payments commencing on or after January 1, 2008, the Benefits Committee has exercised its discretion pursuant to Section 1.07 to determine that all distributions shall be made or shall commence at the time of a Participant’s termination of employment (or in January 2008, if later) in one of the following forms of payment:
 
(i)           A cash lump sum.
 
(ii)           Annual installments in cash over a period not exceeding 15 years (or the Participant’s life expectancy, if less), calculated each year by dividing the Participant’s unpaid account balance as of January 1 of that year by the remaining number of unpaid installments.  If a Participant dies while receiving installment payments, the remaining installments will be paid in a lump sum to the Participant’s designated beneficiary.
 
A Participant who wishes to request a form of payment must file an election, in a form acceptable to Textron, before December 31, 2007, to indicate her preferred form of payment; but all Participant elections shall be subject to the Benefits Committee’s discretion to change the elected form of payment.   If a Participant who is still employed by a Textron Company fails to request a form of payment before the end of 2007, such Participant’s account shall be paid in a lump sum in cash six months after the Participant’s termination of employment.  If a Participant’s employment with all Textron Companies has terminated before the election deadline, and if the Participant fails to request a form of payment before the end of 2007, such Participant’s account shall be paid in a lump sum in cash in January 2008.
 
Effective January 1, 2008, any payment to a beneficiary shall be made in a lump sum in the month following the Participant’s death (or in January 2008, if later).  If a beneficiary is receiving installment payments as of December 31, 2007, any remaining installments due after 2007 shall be aggregated and paid in a lump sum in January 2008.
