TEXTRON INC.

Note 1 :  Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.  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 January 2, 2010.  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.  We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron Inc. consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments.  The Finance group, which is also the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation, its subsidiaries and the securitization trusts consolidated into it, along with two other finance subsidiaries owned by Textron Inc. 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 and financed by our Finance group.

Note 2:  Special Charges

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we initiated a restructuring program to reduce overhead costs and improve productivity across the company and announced the exit of portions of our commercial finance business.  Our restructuring program primarily includes corporate and segment direct and indirect workforce reductions and the consolidation of certain operations.  By the end of 2010, we expect to have eliminated approximately 11,000 positions worldwide representing approximately 25% of our global workforce since the inception of the program.  As of April 3, 2010, we have terminated approximately 10,500 employees and have exited 25 leased and owned facilities and plants under this program.

Cash paid
    (20 )           (20 )
Balance at April 3, 2010
  $ 38     $ 5     $ 43  

The specific restructuring measures and associated estimated costs are based on our best judgment under prevailing circumstances.  We believe that the restructuring reserve balance is adequate to cover the costs presently accruable relating to activities formally identified and committed to under approved plans as of April 3, 2010 and anticipate that all actions related to these liabilities will be completed within a 12-month period.  We estimate that we will incur approximately $20 million in additional pre-tax restructuring costs during the remainder of 2010, most of which will result in future cash outlays.  The additional costs are expected to primarily include relocation costs at Cessna as it consolidates certain operations and severance costs in the Cessna and Finance segments.  We expect that the program will be substantially completed in 2010; however, we also expect to incur additional costs to exit the non-captive portion of our commercial finance business over the next two to three years, which are estimated to be within a range of $10 million to $15 million, primarily attributable to severance and retention benefits.

  Note 3 :  Share-Based Compensation
 
Share-based compensation expense includes restricted stock and stock option awards, as well as performance share units, restricted stock units, and deferred income plan stock unit awards which are payable in cash.  The compensation expense we recorded in net income for our share-based compensation plans is as follows:

    (9 )      
Total net compensation cost included in net income
  $ 12     $ 12  

In January 2010, we discontinued hedging our stock-based compensation awards and we have not entered into any new forward contracts.

Stock Options
The stock option compensation cost calculated under the fair value approach is recognized over the vesting period of the stock options.  The weighted-average fair value of options granted per share was $7 and $2 in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. We estimate the fair value of options granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on our common stock, historical volatilities and other factors.  We use historical data to estimate option exercise behavior, adjusted to reflect anticipated changes in expected life.
 
The weighted-average assumptions used in our Black-Scholes option-pricing model for awards issued during the respective periods are as follows:

Note 5:  Discontinued Operations

On April 3, 2009, we sold HR Textron, an operating unit previously reported within the Textron Systems segment, for $376 million in cash proceeds.  The sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $8 million after final settlement and net after-tax proceeds of approximately $280 million.  Also, in the first quarter of 2009, we had a $34 million tax benefit from the reduction in tax contingencies as a result of the HR Textron sale and a valuation allowance reversal on a previously established deferred tax asset.

Note 7:  Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense for continuing operations of $15 million for the first quarter of 2010 equated to an effective income tax rate of 136.4% (provision on income), compared with an effective income tax rate for continuing operations of 4.9% (benefit on income) for the first quarter of 2009.  The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the write-off of an $11 million deferred tax asset related to a change in the tax treatment of the Medicare Part D program due to recently enacted U.S. health-care law and a prior year tax benefit due to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the recognition of a capital gain in connection with the sale of CESCOM.

Note 8 :  Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share based on net income, which approximates income available to common shareholders for each period.  Basic earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and restricted stock units to be paid in stock that are deemed participating securities as they provide nonforfeitable rights to dividends.  Diluted earnings per share considers the dilutive effect of all potential future common stock, including convertible preferred shares, Convertible Notes, stock options and warrants and restricted stock units in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

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

Dilutive effect of convertible preferred shares, stock options
and restricted stock units
          968  
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding
    273,174       244,956  

The potential dilutive effect of 28 million weighted-average shares of convertible debt, restricted stocks units, stock options and warrants was excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended April 3, 2010 as the shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss from continuing operations.  In addition, stock options to purchase 7 million shares of common stock outstanding are excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended April 3, 2010 as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period.  These securities will likely dilute earnings per share in the future.

During the first quarter of 2010, we reclassified $144 million of captive finance receivables from held for investment to held for sale as a result of inquiries we have received to purchase these finance receivables.  We determined a sale of these finance receivables would be consistent with our goal to maximize the economic value of our portfolio and accelerate cash collections.

We periodically evaluate finance receivables held for investment, excluding homogeneous loan portfolios and finance leases, for impairment.  Finance receivables classified as held for sale are reflected at the lower of cost or fair value and are excluded from this assessment.  A finance receivable is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired finance receivables are classified as either nonaccrual or accrual loans.  Nonaccrual finance receivables include accounts that are contractually delinquent by more than three months for which the accrual of interest income is suspended.  Impaired accrual finance receivables represent loans with original terms that have been or are expected to be significantly modified to reflect deferred principal payments, generally at market interest rates, for which collection of principal and interest is not doubtful.

Our impaired finance receivables are as follows:

The average recorded investment in impaired nonaccrual finance receivables was $975 million and $311 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The average recorded investment in impaired accrual finance receivables amounted to $187 million and $45 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Nonaccrual finance receivables include impaired finance receivables, as well as accounts in homogeneous loan portfolios that are not considered to be impaired but are contractually delinquent by more than three months.  At April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, nonaccrual finance receivables totaled $1.03 billion and $1.04 billion, respectively.  Nonaccrual finance receivables resulted in the Finance segment’s revenues being reduced by $17 million and $8 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Note 11: Debt

Subsequent to quarter-end, we decided to pay down a portion of the outstanding amount owed under Textron Inc.’s bank line of credit and repaid approximately $250 million.  This debt was classified as long-term debt on our balance sheet at April 3, 2010.

4.5% Convertible Senior Notes
Our common stock price exceeded the conversion threshold price of $17.06 per share for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ended March 31, 2010.  Accordingly, the notes are convertible at the holder’s option through June 30, 2010.  We may deliver shares of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock in satisfaction of our obligations upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.  We intend to settle the face value of the Convertible Notes in cash.  We have continued to classify these Convertible Notes as long-term based on our intent and ability to maintain the debt outstanding for at least one year through the use of various funding sources available to us.

Note 12:  Guarantees and Indemnifications

As disclosed under the caption “Guarantees and Indemnifications” in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Textron’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have issued or are party to certain guarantees.  As of April 3, 2010, 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.  Additionally, we may establish warranty liabilities related to the issuance of aircraft service bulletins for aircraft no longer covered under the limited warranty programs.

Note 13 :  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 commercial and financial 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.

On April 6, 2010, a jury in the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court returned verdicts against Avco Corporation, which includes the Lycoming Engines operating division, for $24.7 million in compensatory damages and $64 million in punitive damages in an aviation products liability case involving a 1999 accident.   Judgment has not been entered pending post-trial motions.  While the ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot be assured, we strongly disagree with the verdicts and intend to appeal the verdicts if our post-trial motions are unsuccessful.  We believe that it is probable that the verdicts will be reversed through the appellate process. 

Note 14:  Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  We prioritize the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (the “inputs”) into a three-tier fair value hierarchy.  This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, requiring companies to develop their own assumptions.  Observable inputs that do not meet the criteria of Level 1, and include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, are categorized as Level 2.  Level 3 inputs are those that reflect our estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.  Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data.  These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.

Foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique.  The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers.  This is observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions so they are classified as Level 2.  We record changes in the fair value of these contracts in other comprehensive income to the extent they are effective as cash flow hedges.  If a contract does not qualify for hedge accounting or is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the contract are recorded in earnings.

The Finance group’s derivative contracts are not exchange-traded.  Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value utilizing widely accepted, third-party developed valuation models.  The actual terms of each individual contract are entered into a valuation model, along with interest rate and foreign exchange rate data, which is based on readily observable market data published by third-party leading financial news and data providers.  Credit risk is factored into the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities based on the differential between both our credit default swap spread for liabilities and the counterparty’s credit default swap spread for assets as compared to a standard AA-rated counterparty; however, this had no significant impact on the valuation as of April 3, 2010.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The table below presents those assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that had fair value measurement adjustments for the Finance group during the first quarter of 2010.  These assets were measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) and include the following:

Finance Receivables Held for Sale - Finance receivables held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.  Finance receivables held for sale are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during periods in which the fair value is lower than the cost value.  The majority of the finance receivables held for sale were identified at the individual loan level.  Golf course, timeshare and hotel mortgages classified as held for sale were identified as a portion of a larger portfolio with common characteristics based on the intention to balance the sale of certain loans with the collection of others to maximize economic value.  There was no significant change in the fair value of the finance receivables held for sale in the first quarter of 2009.  During the first quarter of 2010, we sold $208 million of finance receivables classified as held for sale in the distribution finance product line and recorded a $13 million gain related to this sale.  Total gains related to receivable sales were $15 million for the first quarter of 2010.

There are no active, quoted market prices for our finance receivables. The estimate of fair value was determined based on the use of discounted cash flow models to estimate the exit price we expect to receive in the principal market for each type of loan in an orderly transaction, which includes both the sale of pools of similar assets and the sale of individual loans. The models we used incorporate estimates of the rate of return, financing cost, capital structure and/or discount rate expectations of current market participants combined with estimated loan cash flows based on credit losses, payment rates and credit line utilization rates. Where available, the assumptions related to the expectations of current market participants are compared with observable market inputs, including bids from prospective purchasers of similar loans and certain bond market indices for loans of similar perceived credit quality. Although we utilize and prioritize these market observable inputs in our discounted cash flow models, these inputs rarely are derived from markets with directly comparable loan structures, industries and collateral types. Therefore, all valuations of finance receivables held for sale involve significant management judgment, which can result in differences between our fair value estimates and those of other market participants.
 
Impaired Finance Receivables - Finance receivable impairment is measured by comparing the expected future cash flows discounted at the finance receivable’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the receivable is collateral dependent, with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount is higher, we establish a reserve based on this difference. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired finance receivables and the underlying collateral that may differ from actual results. Impaired nonaccrual finance receivables are included in the table above since the measurement of required reserves on our impaired finance receivables is significantly dependent on the fair value of the underlying collateral.  Fair values of collateral are determined based on the use of appraisals, industry pricing guides, input from market participants, our recent experience selling similar assets or internally developed discounted cash flow models. In the first quarter of 2009, fair value measurements recorded on impaired finance receivables resulted in a $32 million charge to provision for loan losses and primarily were related to initial fair value adjustments.

Other assets – Other assets include repossessed assets and properties, operating assets received in satisfaction of troubled finance receivables and other investments, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and have no active, quoted market prices.  The fair value of these assets is determined based on the use of appraisals, industry pricing guides, input from market participants, our recent experience selling similar assets or internally developed discounted cash flow models.  For our other investments, the discounted cash flow models incorporate assumptions specific to the nature of the investments’ business and underlying assets and include industry valuation benchmarks such as discount rates, capitalization rates and cash flow multiples.  For repossessed assets and properties, which are considered assets held for sale, if the carrying amount of the asset is higher than the estimated fair value, we record a corresponding charge to income for the difference.  For operating assets received in satisfaction of troubled finance receivables and other investments, if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is estimated to be less than the carrying value, we record a charge to income for any shortfall between estimated fair value and the carrying amount.

Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions.  We utilize the same valuation methodologies to determine the fair value estimates for finance receivables held for investment as used for finance receivables held for sale.

Investments in other marketable securities represent notes receivable issued by securitization trusts that purchase timeshare notes receivable from timeshare developers.  These notes are classified as held-to-maturity and are held at amortized cost.  The estimate of fair value was based on observable market inputs for similar securitization interests in markets that are currently inactive.

At April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, approximately 46% and 54%, respectively, of the fair value of term debt for the Finance group was determined based on observable market transactions.  The remaining Finance group debt was determined based on discounted cash flow analyses using observable market inputs from debt with similar duration, subordination and credit default expectations.

We hedge our net investment position in major currencies and generate foreign currency interest payments that offset other transactional exposures in these currencies. To accomplish this, we borrow directly in foreign currency and designate a portion of foreign currency debt as a hedge of net investments. We also may utilize currency forwards as hedges of our related foreign net investments. Currency effects on the effective portion of these hedges, which are reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment account within other comprehensive income (OCI), produced a $29 million after-tax gain in the first quarter of 2010, resulting in an accumulated net gain balance of $17 million at April 3, 2010.  The ineffective portion of these hedges was insignificant.
 
Our exposure to loss from nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative agreements at April 3, 2010 is minimal.  We do not anticipate nonperformance by counterparties in the periodic settlements of amounts due.  We historically have minimized this potential for risk by entering into contracts exclusively with major, financially sound counterparties having no less than a long-term bond rating of A.  The credit risk generally is limited to the amount by which the counterparties’ contractual obligations exceed our obligations to the counterparty.  We continuously monitor our exposures to ensure that we limit our risks.

Fair Value Hedges
Our Finance group enters into interest rate exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate receivables and debt due to fluctuations in interest rates.  By using these contracts, we are able to convert our fixed-rate cash flows to floating-rate cash flows.  The amount of ineffectiveness on our fair value hedges is insignificant.  The effect of these contracts is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the gain (loss) for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 is provided in the following table:

Cash Flow Hedges
We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world, and, therefore, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.  The primary purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the volatility associated with foreign currency purchases of materials, foreign currency sales of products, and other assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business.  We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts and purchased options with maturities of no more than 18 months that qualify as cash flow hedges. These are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases and overhead expenses.  At April 3, 2010, we had a net deferred gain of $32 million in OCI related to these cash flow hedges.  As the underlying transactions occur, we expect to reclassify an $11 million gain into earnings in the next 12 months and $21 million of gains in the following 12-month period.

For our cash flow hedges, the amount of gain (loss) recognized in OCI and the amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income for the Manufacturing group for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 is provided in the following table:

The Manufacturing group enters into certain other foreign currency exchange contracts that do not meet hedge accounting criteria and primarily are intended to protect against exposure related to intercompany financing transactions. For these instruments, the Manufacturing group reported in selling and administrative expenses an $8 million gain and a $17 million loss in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, which were offset by the revaluation of the intercompany financing transactions.

The Finance group also utilizes certain foreign currency exchange contracts that do not meet hedge accounting criteria and are intended to convert certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities into the functional currency of the respective legal entity.  Gains and losses related to these derivative instruments are naturally offset by the translation of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.  For these instruments, the Finance group reported in selling and administrative expenses a $7 million loss in the first quarter of 2010, which

was offset by a $6 million gain resulting from the translation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Note 16 :  Segment Information

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance.  Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes.  Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses and special charges.  The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense and excludes special charges.  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.

Our revenues by segment and a reconciliation of segment profit to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows:

RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks, including those discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, which may affect the value of our securities.  The risks discussed in our SEC filings are those that we believe currently are the most significant, although additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem less significant also may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations, perhaps materially.

The increasing costs of certain employee and retiree benefits could adversely affect our results.

Our earnings and cash flow may be impacted by the amount of income or expense we expend or record for employee benefit plans. This is particularly true for our defined benefit pension plans, where the contributions to those plans are driven by, among other things, our assumptions of the rate of return on plan assets, the discount rate used for future payment obligations and the rates of future cost growth. If the actual investment return and rates prove materially different from our assumptions, this could adversely impact the amount of pension expense and require larger contributions to the plans. Also, changing pension legislation and regulations could increase the cost associated with our defined benefit pension plans. In addition, medical costs are rising at a rate faster than the general inflation rate. Continued medical cost inflation in excess of the general inflation rate increases the risk that we will not be able to mitigate the rising costs of medical benefits. Moreover, the U.S. Congress has recently enacted a comprehensive health-care law, and we are evaluating the potential impacts of this new law on our business.  We expect that some of the requirements of this new law will increase our future costs. Increases to the costs of pension and medical benefits could have an adverse effect on our financial results of operations.

Our business is subject to the risks of doing business in foreign countries.

Our international business exposes us to certain unique and potentially greater risks than our domestic business, and our exposure to such risks may increase if our international business continues to grow. Our international business is subject to U.S. and local government regulations and procurement policies and practices, which may change from time to time, including regulations relating to import-export control, environmental, health and safety, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings or cash settlement challenges, as well as to varying currency, geopolitical and economic risks. These international risks may be especially significant with respect to sales of aerospace and defense products. We maintain manufacturing facilities, services centers, supply centers, and other facilities worldwide, including in various emerging market countries, and we expect that our investment in emerging market countries will continue to increase.  Emerging market operations can present many risks, including civil disturbances, economic and government instability, terrorism and related safety concerns, health concerns, cultural differences in employment and business practices, the imposition of exchange controls and risks associated with inadequate infrastructures to deal with natural disasters.  The impact of any one or more of these or other factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.  We also are exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations and teaming with international subcontractors and suppliers in connection with international programs. Some international government customers require contractors to agree to specific in-country purchases, manufacturing agreements or financial support arrangements, known as offsets, as a condition for a contract award. The contracts generally extend over several years and may include penalties if we fail to meet the offset requirements, which could adversely impact our revenues, profitability and cash flows. Additionally, we are facing increasing competition in our international markets from foreign and multinational firms that may have certain advantages, including, for example, cost advantages, over us; as a result, our ability to compete successfully in those markets may be adversely affected, which could negatively impact our revenues.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues
Revenues decreased $316 million, or 13%, to $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the corresponding period of 2009, primarily due to a $460 million decrease in revenues at Cessna and Bell, reflecting reductions in commercial aircraft deliveries, and $46 million in lower revenues at the Finance segment largely due to lower average finance receivables resulting from the continued liquidation of the non-captive portfolio.  These revenue decreases were partially offset by a $150 million increase in revenues in the Industrial segment largely due to higher volume reflecting improvements in the automotive market and a $40 million increase in revenues at Textron Systems, primarily due to higher defense volumes.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues was 83.2% in both of the first quarters of 2010 and 2009.    Cost of sales was favorably impacted by improved leverage on higher volumes at the Industrial segment as a result of cost reduction initiatives, offset by higher costs of sales as a percentage of revenue at Cessna.  In the first quarter of 2010, Cessna’s sales mix reflected a higher proportion of lower margin business jets and research and development costs represented a greater percentage of the lower revenues.  These factors were partially offset by reduced costs from workforce reductions and facility consolidations.

Selling and Administrative Expense
Selling and administrative expense decreased $59 million, or 17%, to $287 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the corresponding period of 2009, primarily due to a $32 million impact at Cessna reflecting lower sales commissions, compensation and related costs and professional fees, and a $12 million reduction for the Finance segment, which was favorably impacted by lower compensation and related costs due to the continued liquidation of the non-captive portfolio.

Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $12 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the corresponding period of 2009, primarily due to lower debt in the Finance segment as it continues to liquidate its non-captive portfolio.  Interest expense includes interest for both the Finance group and the Manufacturing group.

Interest expense, net for the Manufacturing group increased $8 million, or 29%, largely due to $21 million of interest on higher average debt borrowings, partially offset by $8 million of interest income received on intergroup borrowings from the Finance segment.

Special Charges
For the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, we incurred $12 million and $32 million in restructuring costs, primarily related to severance at Cessna.  We estimate that we will incur approximately $20 million in additional pre-tax restructuring costs during the remainder of 2010, most of which will result in future cash outlays.  The additional costs are expected to primarily include relocation costs at Cessna as it consolidates certain operations and severance costs in the Cessna and Finance segments.  We expect that the program will be substantially completed in 2010; however, we also expect to incur additional costs to exit the non-captive portion of our commercial finance business over the next two to three years, which are estimated to be within a range of $10 million to $15 million, primarily attributable to severance and retention benefits. By the end of 2010, we expect to have eliminated approximately 11,000 positions worldwide representing approximately 25% of our global workforce since the inception of the restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2008.  As of April 3, 2010, we have terminated approximately 10,500 employees and have exited 25 leased and owned facilities and plants under this program.

Backlog
Our aircraft and defense business backlog totaled $12.4 billion at April 3, 2010 and was primarily comprised of the following:

Textron Systems
    1,442       1,664  
Cessna
    4,073       4,893  

The decrease in backlog at Cessna is mainly attributable to cancelled business jet orders due to continued weakness in the general aviation industry and deliveries in the quarter.  The decrease in backlog at Textron Systems primarily reflects deliveries in excess of orders for Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Armored Security Vehicles.

Segment Analysis

Segment profit is an important measure used to evaluate performance and for decision-making purposes.  Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses and special charges.  The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense and excludes special charges.

In the first quarter of 2010, Cessna’s revenues and segment profit decreased $336 million and $114 million, respectively, compared with the first quarter of 2009.  Revenues decreased at Cessna primarily due to lower business jet volume in most of its product lines.  We delivered 31 jets in the first quarter of 2010, compared with 69 jets in the corresponding period of 2009.  This decrease was partially offset by higher used aircraft volume of $10 million, higher CitationAir volume of $9 million and higher spare parts, product support and maintenance volume of $7 million.

Segment profit decreased primarily due to the $122 million impact from lower volume, a nonrecurring $50 million gain on the 2009 sale of CESCOM assets and higher inflation of $15 million, partially offset by improved performance of $68 million.  The improved performance includes $36 million in lower engineering, selling and administrative expenses, largely due to workforce reductions, and lower inventory reserves and used aircraft write-downs of $20 million.

Segment profit

Revenues decreased $124 million and segment profit increased $5 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the first quarter of 2009.  The decrease in revenues primarily reflects lower commercial volume of $89 million, reflecting lower customer demand for helicopters, spares and other support, lower V-22 volume of $39 million, related to the timing of aircraft deliveries, spares and support, and an $18 million impact from revenue recognized in 2009 on the ARH program related to termination support.  These decreases were partially offset by higher military spare parts, product support and maintenance volume of $19 million.

Segment profit increased primarily due to improved performance of $36 million reflecting lower warranty costs of $7 million, improved performance related to the H-1 program of $7 million, nonrecurring product launch costs of $8 million incurred in 2009 for the 429 program and lower selling and administrative expenses of $6 million.  The improved performance was partially offset by the $28 million impact of lower commercial volume and unfavorable mix and a $3 million impact due to lower net military volume.

Segment profit increased primarily due to higher volume of $35 million and improved performance of $35 million, partially offset by higher inflation in excess of pricing of $12 million.  Cost performance has improved largely due to the significant efforts made in 2009 to reduce costs through workforce reductions and other initiatives.

Portfolio losses for the first quarter of 2010 decreased $2 million compared with the corresponding period of 2009.  In the first quarter of 2010, a $13 million gain on the sale of one portfolio was offset by impairments on other finance assets.

The provision for loan losses decreased in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the corresponding period of 2009, primarily due to an $8 million decrease in nonaccrual finance receivables during the first quarter of 2010 compared with a $167 million increase in the first quarter of 2009.  The decrease in nonaccrual finance receivables reflects reductions in several of our portfolios, including a $42 million decrease in receivables secured by general aviation aircraft, largely due to the stabilization in aircraft values and the resolution of several significant accounts through sale, repossession or foreclosure.  These reductions were partially offset by a $47 million increase in marina receivables and a $34 million increase in golf course property receivables.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the corresponding period of 2009 mostly due to a reduction in workforce as a result of our exit plan.

This table reflects information about the Finance segment’s credit performance related to finance receivables held for investment.  Finance receivables held for sale are reflected at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As a result, finance receivables held for sale are not included in the credit performance statistics below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron Inc. consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments.  The Finance group, which is also the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation (TFC), its subsidiaries and the securitization trusts consolidated into it, along with two other finance subsidiaries owned by Textron Inc. 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.

We believe that with our existing cash balances, coupled with the continued successful execution of the exit plan for the non-captive portion of the commercial finance business, and cash we expect to generate from our manufacturing operations, we will have sufficient cash to meet our future needs.

During the quarter, our credit ratings were affirmed by Moody’s Investor Service and Fitch Ratings and both rating agencies improved their outlooks for Textron Inc. and Textron Financial Corporation to stable. On April 20, 2010, Standard & Poor’s affirmed its rating of both companies and improved its outlook to stable.

Subsequent to quarter-end, we decided to pay down a portion of the outstanding amount owed under Textron Inc.’s bank line of credit and repaid approximately $250 million.  This debt was classified as long-term debt on our balance sheet at April 3, 2010.

In connection with the exit plan, we reduced our managed finance receivables by $769 million in the first quarter of 2010 through a combination of scheduled collections, sales, discounted payoffs, repossession of collateral, charge-offs and impairment charges.  We measure the success of the exit plan based on the percentage of managed finance receivable and other finance asset reductions converted to cash.  In the first quarter of 2010, we had a cash conversion ratio of 95%.  In 2010, we now expect a total reduction in managed finance receivables for the full year of approximately $1.8 billion, net of originations, which includes non-captive finance receivables as well as captive finance receivables.  At April 3, 2010, the exit plan applied to the remaining $3.5 billion of the Finance group’s non-captive managed finance receivable portfolio.

On April 3, 2010, the Finance group had $1.3 billion in debt and $341 million in other liabilities, primarily accounts payable and accrued expenses, that are payable within the next 12 months.

Our common stock price exceeded the conversion threshold price of $17.06 per share for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ended March 31, 2010.  Accordingly, the notes are convertible at the holder’s option through June 30, 2010.  We may deliver shares of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock in satisfaction of our obligations upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.  We intend to settle the face value of the Convertible Notes in cash.  We have continued to classify these Convertible Notes as long-term based on our intent and ability to maintain the debt outstanding for a least one year through the use of various funding sources available to us.

Manufacturing Group Cash Flows
Free cash flow is a measure generally used by investors, analysts and management to gauge a company’s ability to generate cash from operations in excess of that necessary to be reinvested to sustain and grow the business.  Our definition of Manufacturing free cash flow uses net cash from operating activities of continuing operations and subtracts dividends received from the Finance group and capital expenditures, then adds back capital contributions provided under a Support Agreement with TFC, as discussed below, plus proceeds from the sale of plant, property and equipment.  We believe that our Manufacturing free cash flow calculation provides a relevant
 

 
 
25

 

measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund operations.  This measure is not a financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should be used in conjunction with GAAP cash measures provided in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  Our Manufacturing free cash flow measure may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies as there is no definitive accounting standard on how the measure should be calculated.

Operating activities used less cash in the first quarter of 2010 compared with 2009, largely due to improvements in working capital, partially offset by lower earnings, primarily due to reduced volume at Cessna and Bell.  We used $277 million in working capital in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $430 million in the corresponding period of 2009.

In the first quarter of 2010, financing activities primarily consisted of a $150 million use of cash for intergroup financing of the Finance group by the Manufacturing group.  In the first quarter of 2009, financing activities included $1.2 billion in proceeds from drawing down on our bank line of credit and $133 million received from the Finance group to repay intergroup borrowings, partially offset by an $869 million reduction in our short-term debt.

Capital Contributions Paid To and Dividends Received From the Finance Group
Under a Support Agreement between Textron Inc. and TFC, Textron Inc. is required to maintain a controlling interest in TFC and consolidated shareholder’s equity of no less than $200 million.  The agreement also requires Textron Inc. to pay TFC a cash payment sufficient to provide that the sum of TFC’s pre-tax earnings before extraordinary items plus fixed charges will not be less than 125% of TFC’s fixed charges.  Cash contributions paid to TFC and dividends paid by TFC to Textron Inc. are detailed below.

An additional cash contribution of $71 million was made to TFC on April 9, 2010, which was reflected as capital contribution, to maintain compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio required by the Support Agreement.  Due to the nature of these contributions, we classify these contributions within cash flows used by operating activities for the Manufacturing group in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  Capital contributions to support Finance group growth in the ongoing captive finance business are classified as cash flows from financing activities.  The Finance group’s net income (loss) is excluded from the Manufacturing group’s cash flows, while dividends from the Finance group are included within cash flows from operating activities for the Manufacturing group as they represent a return on investment.

The Finance group used more cash for operating activities primarily due to a $51 million payment to the Manufacturing group in the first quarter of 2010 under the tax sharing agreement, compared with $6 million in the corresponding period of 2009.

The Finance group generated more cash from investing activities as new finance receivable originations declined to $226 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2009 as we continued to effect our exit plan for the non-captive business.  Finance receivables repaid and proceeds from sales and securitizations decreased to $937 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2009.

The Finance group used more cash for financing activities in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the corresponding period of 2009, since there were no proceeds from third-party borrowings in the first quarter of 2010 to offset debt repayments, compared with $1.7 billion in proceeds from the first quarter 2009 drawdown on our bank lines of credit.  Principal payments on short- and long-term debt totaled $925 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $1.3 billion in the corresponding period of 2009.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Finance group borrowed an additional $150 million from the Manufacturing group, while in the first quarter of 2009 the Finance group repaid $112 million to the Manufacturing group.  As of April 3, 2010, the outstanding balance due to the Manufacturing group was $563 million.

Consolidated Cash Flows
The Finance 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 from third parties.  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 and is financed by the Finance group, the origination of the finance receivable is recorded within investing activities as a cash outflow in the Finance group’s statement of cash flows.  Meanwhile, in the Manufacturing group’s statement of cash flows, the cash received from the Finance group on the customer’s behalf is recorded within operating cash flows as a cash inflow.  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.

On a consolidated basis, less cash was used for operating activities largely due to a $78 million increase in cash received on captive finance receivables, net of originations, in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $39 million in the corresponding period of 2009 .

We generated more cash from investing activities as new finance receivable originations declined to $145 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $1.2 billion in the corresponding period of 2009 as we continued effecting our exit plan for the non-captive finance business.  Finance receivables repaid and proceeds from sales and securitizations decreased to $778 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2009.

In the first quarter of 2010, financing activities primarily consisted of a $936 million in principal payments on long-term debt.  In the first quarter of 2009, financing activities included $3.0 billion in proceeds from drawing down on our lines of credit, partially offset by a $1.6 billion reduction in our short-term debt and $578 million in principal payments on long-term debt.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act)) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

As previously reported in Textron’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, on August 13, 2009, a purported shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court in Rhode Island against Textron, its Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer.  The suit, filed by the City of Roseville Employees' Retirement System, alleges that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by making material misrepresentations or omissions related to Cessna and Textron Financial Corporation.  The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.  In December 2009, the Automotive Industries Pension Trust Fund was appointed lead plaintiff in the case. On February 8, 2010, an amended class action complaint was filed with the Court.  The amended complaint names as additional defendants Textron Financial Corporation and three of its present and former officers.  On April 6, 2010, the court entered a stipulation agreed to by the parties in which plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, certain causes of action in the amended complaint.  On April 9, 2010, all defendants moved to dismiss the remaining counts of the amended complaint, and that motion is still pending.

As previously reported in Textron’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, on August 21, 2009, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court in Rhode Island by Dianne Leach, an alleged participant in the Textron Savings Plan.  Six additional substantially similar class action lawsuits were subsequently filed by other individuals.  The complaints varyingly name Textron and certain present and former employees, officers and directors as defendants. These lawsuits allege that the defendants violated the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act by imprudently permitting participants in the Textron Savings Plan to invest in Textron common stock.  The complaints seek equitable relief and unspecified compensatory damages. On February 2, 2010, an amended class action complaint was filed consolidating the seven previous lawsuits into a single complaint.  On March 19, 2010, all defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint, and that motion is still pending.

As previously reported in Textron’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, on November 18, 2009, a purported derivative lawsuit was filed by John D. Walker in the United States District Court of Rhode Island against certain present and former officers and directors of Textron.  The suit alleges violations of the federal securities laws consistent with the Roseville action described above, as well as breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment.  On February 16, 2010, all defendants moved to dismiss the derivative complaint, and that motion is still pending.

Textron believes that these lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

·  
The 2007 Plan has been amended to prohibit amendments that (i) increase benefits to participants, (ii) increase the number of shares reserved under the plan or (iii) modify the requirements for participation in the plan, without, in any such case, receiving shareholder approval of such amendment.

3.

4.2   Participation.   Participation in the Plan shall be determined annually by the Committee based upon the criteria set forth in the Plan.

Performance goals and their relative weight may vary by job. After the performance goals are established, the Committee will align the achievement of the performance goals with the Award Opportunities (as described in Section 5.2 herein), such that the level of achievement at the end of the Plan Year as compared to the pre-established performance goals set at the beginning of the Plan Year will determine the amount of the

Final Award. The Committee also shall have the authority to exercise subjective discretion in the determination of Final Awards to reduce or increase a calculated award based on the Committee's qualitative assessment of performance.
 
The performance period with respect to which awards may be payable under the Plan shall generally be the Plan Year; provided, however, that the Committee shall have the authority and discretion to designate different performance periods under the Plan, in which case references to Plan Year shall be deemed to refer to such other performance period.
 
5.2   Award Opportunities.   Prior to the beginning of each Plan Year, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Committee shall establish an Award Opportunity for each Participant. In the event a Participant changes job levels during a Plan Year, the Participant's Award Opportunity may be adjusted to reflect the amount of time at each job level during the Plan Year. In addition, if a Participant changes jobs during the year, the Participant’s goals may change as of the effective date of the job change to reflect the different performance goals. Each job’s performance goals will continue to be assessed on a full-year basis to determine payouts, with the proportion of time in each job applied to determine the final payout amount.  In the case of an Award Opportunity that the Committee has designated as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) or Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have the right to adjust the Award Opportunity as described in this Section 5.2 only to the extent that the adjustment would not cause the Award Opportunity to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) or Section 409A, as applicable.
 
5.3   Adjustment of Performance Goals.   The Committee shall have the right to adjust the performance goals and the Award Opportunities (either up or down) during a Plan Year if it determines that the occurrence of external changes or other unanticipated business conditions have materially affected the fairness of the goals and have unduly influenced the Company's ability to meet them, including without limitation, events such as material acquisitions, changes in the capital structure of the Company, and extraordinary accounting changes. In addition, performance goals and Award Opportunities will be calculated without regard to any changes in accounting standards that may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board after such performance goals or Award Opportunities are established. Further, in the event of a Plan Year of less than twelve months, the Committee shall have the right to adjust the performance goals and the Award Opportunities accordingly, at its sole discretion.  In the case of an Award Opportunity that the Committee has designated as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) or Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have the right to adjust the performance goals or Award Opportunity as described in this Section 5.3 only to the extent that the adjustment would not cause the Award Opportunity to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) or Section 409A, as applicable.

5.4   Final Award Determinations.   At the end of each Plan Year, Final Awards shall be computed for each Participant as determined by the Committee. Each Final Award shall be based upon the (i) Participant’s Target Incentive Award percentage, multiplied by his Base Salary and (ii) percent satisfaction of performance goals (as set by the Committee). Final Award amounts may vary above or below the Target Incentive Award, based on the level of achievement of the pre-established performance goals.
 
5.5   Limitations.   The amount payable to a Participant for any Plan Year shall not exceed U.S. $4,000,000.
 
5.6   Award Opportunities under Section 409A.  The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Award Opportunities that will qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 409A of the Code.  An Award Opportunity intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 409A of the Code shall meet the following requirements:
 
(a)  
For any Participant who is eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the performance period, the performance period shall include at least 12 consecutive months;
 
(b)  
Performance goals shall be established no later than 90 days after the beginning of the performance period, and at a time when it is not substantially certain that the performance goals will be met.  Performance goals may not be adjusted after the first 90 days of the performance period, except that the Committee may, consistent with Section 409A, make adjustments it deems necessary to reflect corporate events, such as recapitalizations or mergers, that would otherwise affect the performance goals; and
 
(c)  
No Final Award shall be paid unless the pre-established performance goals are satisfied.
 
SECTION 6. PAYMENT OF FINAL AWARDS
 
6.1   Form and Timing of Payment.   As soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Company and each Participant has achieved the performance goals for such Plan Year, including the specific target objective(s) and the satisfaction of any other material terms of the awards, and the Committee shall approve the amount of each Participant's Final Award for the relevant period. Final Award payments shall be payable to the Participant, or to his estate in the case of death, in a single lump-sum cash payment, as soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year, after the Committee, in its sole discretion, has certified in writing the extent to which the specified performance goals were achieved, but in no event later than
 
 
 
- 6 -

March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which the applicable performance period ends..
 
6.2   Payment of Partial Awards.   In the event a Participant no longer meets the eligibility criteria as set forth in the Plan during the course of a particular Plan Year, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, compute and pay a partial award in a lump sum on the scheduled date in Section 6.1 for the portion of the Plan Year that an Employee was a Participant. Unless such payment is specifically approved by the Committee, no such payments will be made, and continued service through the end of the Plan Year shall be required to earn an award. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Participant who has earned a Final Award with respect to a completed Plan Year who subsequently terminates employment or otherwise ceases eligibility before the date that the Final Award is to be paid shall be paid such Final Award on the scheduled date.
 
6.3   Unsecured Interest.   No Participant or any other party claiming an interest in amounts earned under the Plan shall have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of the Company or of any Subsidiary. To the extent that any party acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be equivalent to that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
 
SECTION 7. TERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY OR EMPLOYMENT
 
7.1   Termination of Eligibility.   In the event a Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan during a Plan Year but remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary through the end of such Plan Year, the Final Award determined in accordance with Section 5.4 herein shall be reduced to reflect participation prior to such cessation of eligibility only. The reduced award shall be based upon the proportionate amount of Base Salary earned during the Plan Year prior to cessation of eligibility.
 
The Final Award thus determined shall be payable in a lump sum as soon as practicable following certification of the relevant performance goals by the Committee for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, or sooner (except with respect to Executive Officers), as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  A participant’s Final Award shall be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which the applicable performance period ends.
 
7.2   Termination of Employment.   In the event a Participant's employment is terminated for any reason, all of the Participant's rights to a Final Award for the Plan Year then in progress shall be forfeited. However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay a partial award for the portion of that Plan Year that the Participant was employed by the Company, computed as determined by the Committee and paid in a lump sum no later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which the applicable performance period ends.
 
 
 
- 7 -

SECTION 8. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS
 
8.1   Employment.   Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.
 
8.2   Nontransferability.   No right or interest of any Participant in the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, or subject to any lien, directly, by operation of law, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, and bankruptcy.
 
SECTION 9. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
9.1   Applicability.   The provisions of this Section 9 shall apply only to Executive Officers and are intended to apply additional terms, conditions and limitations required for amounts payable hereunder to Executive Officers to qualify as performance-based compensation exempt from Section 162(m) of the Code. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Section 9 and the other Plan provisions, the provisions of this Section 9 shall control with respect to Executive Officers.
 
9.2   Performance Goals and Award Opportunities.   With respect to Executive Officers, objective written performance goals and Award Opportunities for a Plan Year shall be established by the Committee (and the Committee only, with no delegation) (i) while the attainment of the performance goals for the Plan Year is substantially uncertain and (ii) no more than 90 days after the commencement of the Plan Year (or a number of days equal to 25% of the Plan Year, if less). The performance goals applicable to the Executive Officers shall be limited to the performance goals listed below. The Committee may select one or more of the performance goals specified for each Plan Year which need not be the same for each Executive Officer in a given year. Performance goals 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, performance goals shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (subject to modifications approved by the Committee) and shall be consistently applied on a
 
 
 
- 8 -

business unit, divisional, subsidiary or consolidated basis or any combination thereof. Performance goals 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 not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may establish performance goals based on other criteria as it deems appropriate. 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.
 
9.3   Certification of Achievement of Performance Goals.   At the end of the Plan Year and prior to payment, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the performance goals and any other material terms were satisfied. Final Awards shall be computed for each Executive Officer based on (i) the Participant's Target Incentive Award percentage, multiplied by his Base Salary and (ii) percent satisfaction of performance goals (as certified by the Committee). Final Award amounts may vary above or below the Target Incentive Award based on the level of achievement of the pre-established performance goals.
 
9.4   Non-adjustment of Performance Goals.   Once established, performance goals shall not be changed during the Plan Year except as permitted consistent with the qualified performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code.
 
9.5   Discretionary Adjustments.   The Committee retains the discretion to eliminate or decrease the amount of the Final Award otherwise payable to a Participant. For any Final Award or portion of a Final Award designated to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall not retain any right to increase any amount otherwise determined under the provisions of the Plan.
 
 
 
- 9 -

SECTION 10. AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION
 
10.1  Amendment by Board .  Subject to applicable laws, rules, and regulations, the Board, in its sole discretion, without notice, at any time and from time to time, may modify or amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan, or may suspend or terminate the Plan entirely, by written resolution or other formal action reflected in writing.
 
10.2  Delegation of Amendment Authority.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to amend the Plan  to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board to make a further delegation of the authority to amend the Plan.
 
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS
 
11.1   Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law.   Except as to matters of federal law, the Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws 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.
 
11.2   Withholding Taxes.   The Company and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct from all payments under the Plan any federal, state, local and/or foreign income, employment or other applicable payroll taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.
 
11.3   Gender and Number.   Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.
 
11.4   Severability.   In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
 
11.5   Costs of the Plan.   All costs of implementing and administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
 
11.6   Successors.   All obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger,
 
 
 
- 10 -

amalgamation, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
 
11.7  Compliance With Code Section 409A .   The Plan is intended, and shall be interpreted, to provide compensation that is exempt from Code Section 409A under the short-term deferral rule (unless a Participant makes a valid deferral election under a separate plan).  The Company does not warrant that the Plan will comply with Code Section 409A with respect to any Participant or with respect to any payment, however.  In no event shall the Company; any affiliate of the Company; any director, officer, or employee of the Company or an affiliate; 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 Code Section 409A, or as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy any other requirements of applicable tax laws.

Deferred Income Plan
for Textron Executives
 
Effective January 3, 2010
 
Introduction
 
The Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives (the “Plan”) is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement.  The Plan provides both elective and nonelective deferred compensation for designated executives of Textron and its affiliates.  The Plan is a continuation of the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Key Executives (the “Key Executive Plan”) and the Textron Inc. Deferred Income Plan for Executives (the “Executive Plan”).  These plans were combined to form the Plan effective January 1, 2008.  The Plan has been amended from time to time since the previous restatement.  This restatement of the Plan reflects all amendments that are effective through the date of this restatement.
 
Appendix A and Appendix B of the Plan set forth the 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.  Deferred compensation that was earned and vested (within the meaning of Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increase that is permitted to be included in this amount under Section 409A, is calculated and paid solely as provided in Appendix A or Appendix B, whichever is applicable, and is not subject to any other provisions of the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives.
 
Deferred compensation that was earned or vested after 2004 and before January 1, 2008, is subject to the provisions of IRC Section 409A.  This deferred compensation is paid exclusively as provided in the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives (not including any appendix to the Plan).  Although the provisions of the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives 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 or the Executive Plan are effective as of January 1, 2005.
 
Section 5.04(a) permits a Participant to make a special election before the end of 2007 to receive the Participant’s Account under one of the distribution options in Section 5.03.  Appendix A and Appendix B also permit a Participant to request a distribution option before the end of 2007 (or before the end of 2008, in the case of Participants who terminated before 2002) for the benefits payable under those Appendices.  These special election provisions are effective as of July 25, 2007, the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board.

Article I -   Definitions
 
In this document, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth in this Article, unless a contrary or different meaning is expressly provided:
 
1.01  
“Account” means the bookkeeping entry used to record deferred income and earnings credited to a Participant under the Plan.  A Participant’s Account may be divided into sub-accounts, as determined by Textron, to track earnings on different hypothetical investment funds.  All amounts credited to the Account shall be unfunded obligations of Textron: no assets shall be set aside or contributed to the Plan for the Participant’s benefit.  A Participant’s Account does not include deferred income that was earned and vested (within the meaning of IRC Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increase that is permitted to be included in such amount under IRC Section 409A.  These amounts are calculated and paid solely as provided in Appendix A and Appendix B, as applicable.
 
1.02  
“Beneficiary” means the person or persons entitled under this Plan to receive Plan benefits after a Participant’s death.  A Participant’s estate may also be the Participant’s Beneficiary.
 
1.03  
“Board” means the Board of Directors of Textron.
 
1.04  
“Change in Control” means, for any Participant who was not an employee of a Textron Company on December 31, 2007:
 
(a)  
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”) and of IRC Section 409A) 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 similar proportions as their ownership of Textron common stock
 
(1)  
becomes (other than by acquisition from Textron or a related company) the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of stock of Textron that, together with other stock held by such person or group, possesses more than 50% of the combined voting power of Textron’s then-outstanding voting stock, or
 
(2)  
acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person) beneficial ownership of stock of Textron possessing more than 30% of the combined voting power of Textron's then-outstanding stock, or
 
(3)  
acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person) all or

Page 2
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
substantially all of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of Textron immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions (where gross fair market value is determined without regard to any associated liabilities); or
 
 
(b)  
a merger or consolidation of Textron with any other corporation occurs, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the voting securities of Textron outstanding immediately before the merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) 50% or more of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Textron or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or
 
(c)  
during any 12-month period, a majority of the members of the Board is replaced by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors before the date of their appointment or election.
 
Each of the events described above will be treated as a “Change in Control” only to the extent that it is a change in ownership, change in effective control, or change in the ownership of a substantial portion of Textron’s assets within the meaning of IRC Section 409A.
 
For any Participant who was an employee of a Textron Company on December 31, 2007, the definition set forth above in this Section 1.04 shall be used to determine whether an event is a “Change in Control” to the extent that the event would alter the time or form of payment of the Participant’s benefit.  To the extent that the event would cause any change in the Participant’s rights under the Plan that does not affect the status of the Participant’s benefit under IRC Section 409A (including, but not limited to, accelerated vesting of the Participant’s benefit or restrictions on amendments to the Plan), the definition set forth in Section 9.03 of Appendix A shall be used to determine whether the event is a “Change in Control.”

2.03  
Deferral Election Requirements .  Any deferral election under the Plan shall be subject to the following requirements:
 
(a)  
Initial Deferral Election .  Except in the case of a timely election to defer “performance-based compensation” pursuant to subsection (b), below, a Participant’s initial deferral election under Section 2.01(a) shall apply only to compensation paid for services to be performed after the election is made.  Except as provided in subsection (b), for a bonus or other compensation earned over a specified performance period that commenced before the date of the election, the total compensation shall be multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election to the total number of days in the performance period, and the resulting portion of the compensation shall be eligible for deferral pursuant to the Participant’s initial deferral election.
 
(b)  
Election Deadlines .  All deferral elections shall be made at a time and in a form designated by Textron.  Except as provided in Section 2.05, a deferral election shall become irrevocable at the election deadline established by Textron.
 
(1)  
General Election Deadline .  Textron may establish deadlines that are permissible under IRC Section 409A for any type of compensation that is eligible for deferral under the Plan.  If no other deadline applies, the deadline for a deferral election shall be not later than December 31 of the year preceding the year for which the services are performed for which the right to the compensation arises.
 
(2)  
Performance-Based Compensation .  The deadline for any election to defer compensation that is “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of IRC Section 409A shall be not later than six months before the end of the performance period, provided that the Participant performs services continuously from the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date when the performance criteria are established through the date when the election is made, and provided further that the compensation has not become readily ascertainable at the time of the election.
 
(3)  
Forfeitable Rights .  If a Participant has a legally binding right to a payment in a subsequent year, and the Participant must perform services for at least 12 months in order to avoid forfeiture of the payment, the election deadline shall not be later than the 30th day
 
 
 
 
Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives
Effective January 3, 2010

after the Participant acquires a legally binding right to the payment, provided that the election is made at least 12 months before the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse for a reason other than death, Total Disability, or Change in Control (and a deferral election made under this paragraph shall not be effective if the forfeiture condition lapses for death, Total Disability, or Change in Control less than 12 months after the date of the election).
 
(c)  
Minimum Deferrals .  A Participant may not elect to defer an amount less than $5,000 for any year.
 
(d)  
Change in Participation Level .  A Participant’s status as a Schedule A Participant or a Schedule B Participant shall be determined at the deferral election deadline for any type of compensation.  If a Participant’s status changes, the Participant’s deferral election shall not be affected by the change in status until the next deferral election deadline.
 
(e)  
Renewal of Elections .  A Schedule A Participant’s election to defer base salary under the Plan shall be effective only with respect to base salary earned in the calendar year (or portion of a year, in case of an initial deferral election) immediately following the election deadline, and any other deferral election under the Plan shall be effective only with respect to the particular bonus, award, or other compensation for which the deferral election is made.  The Participant must make a new deferral election before the applicable deadline in order to defer compensation earned in a subsequent period.  A Participant who fails to make a valid deferral election on or before the applicable deadline shall be deemed to have elected not to defer any compensation to which the deadline applies.
 
2.04  
Non-Elective Deferred Compensation .  In addition to any Elective Deferred Income, a Participant’s Account may be credited with the following types of non-elective Deferred Income:
 
(a)  
Automatic Deferred Income .  A Schedule A Participant’s performance share unit payout shall automatically be deferred into the Participant’s Stock Unit Account to the extent necessary to meet required stock ownership levels established under the Executive Share Ownership Policy.  The amount of Automatic Deferred Income for any year shall be based on the Schedule A Participant’s required ownership level and actual or deemed stock ownership at the election deadline that would apply under IRC Section 409A to an elective deferral of the Schedule A Participant’s performance share units, and the amount of the Automatic Deferred Income shall not be altered by any change after the election deadline in the Schedule A Participant’s required ownership level or actual or deemed stock ownership.

(b)  
Discretionary Deferred Income .  A Schedule A or Schedule B Participant may receive additional contributions made at the discretion of the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board, for Schedule A Participants who are executive officers of Textron, and at the discretion of Textron, for all other Participants.  The document authorizing the discretionary contribution shall specify the vesting schedule, if any, that applies to the discretionary contribution.  Any discretionary contribution shall be allocated solely to a Participant’s Moody’s Account.
 
(c)  
Textron Company Contribution .  A Schedule A Participant shall receive matching contribution in the Participant’s Stock Unit Account equal to 10% of any Elective Deferred Income the Schedule A Participant allocates initially to the Stock Unit Account.
 
2.05  
Changes in Deferral Elections .  A Participant may change his deferral election prospectively by filing a new deferral election form before the election deadline established by Textron in accordance with IRC Section 409A, or by failing to file a deferral election by the election deadline (which will be deemed to be an election not to defer for the subsequent period).  A Participant’s deferral election shall be cancelled automatically in the following circumstances, effective with the first payroll period following the event that causes the cancellation, and the Participant may not make a new deferral election before the next deferral election deadline:
 
(a)  
Financial Hardship .  The Participant receives a distribution on account of financial hardship of elective deferrals under the Textron Savings Plan or any other IRC Section 401(k) plan maintained by a Textron Company, or receives a distribution under this Plan on account of an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency.
 
(b)  
Total Disability .  The Participant incurs a Total Disability.
 
Article III -   Investment Accounts
 
3.01  
Investment Accounts .  For recordkeeping purposes, Textron shall maintain a Moody’s Account and (in the case of a Schedule A Participant) a Stock Unit Account, as necessary, to credit hypothetical investment gains and losses to a Participant’s Account.  A Schedule A Participant may direct the extent to which his Elective Deferred Income (other than deferrals of base salary) is allocated initially to the Moody’s Account or the Stock Unit Account.  Any deferrals of base salary or Discretionary Deferred Income of a Schedule A Participant shall be allocated automatically to the Moody’s Account; any Automatic Deferred Income or Textron Company Contribution of a Schedule A Participant shall be allocated automatically to the Stock Unit Account.  All deferrals of a Schedule B Participant shall be allocated automatically to the Moody’s Account.

3.02  
Moody’s Account .  The Moody’s 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 Textron.  Interest shall be credited on the last day of each calendar month on the average daily balance of the Moody’s Account during the month.
 
3.03  
Stock Unit Account .
 
(a)  
The Stock Unit Account shall consist of phantom shares of Textron common stock.  The number of stock units credited to a Schedule A Participant’s Stock Unit Account as a result of the Automatic Deferred Income or the deferral of annual incentive compensation or performance share units shall be determined using the same methodology approved by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board for payment of performance share units.  The number of stock units credited to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account as a result of any other elective or non-elective contribution in cash shall be determined by dividing the amount of Deferred Income credited on the last day of a calendar month 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 credit is made.
 
(b)  
Textron shall credit additional stock units to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account to reflect dividend equivalents attributable to the stock units that were credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account on the record date.  The number of additional stock units 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.
 
(c)  
The number of stock units credited to a Participant’s Stock Unit 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 stock units were actual shares of Textron common stock.
 
(d)  
All distributions from the Stock Unit Account shall be made in cash.  No Textron common stock shall be distributed from the Plan in any circumstance.
 
3.04  
Monthly Adjustments .  A Participant’s Moody’s Account and Stock Unit Account shall be adjusted on the last day of each calendar month to reflect additional Deferred Income credited to the Account, distributions from the Account, and investment gains or losses allocated to the Account.

3.05  
Transfers and Distributions From Stock Unit Account .  A Participant who has Separated From Service may elect to transfer all or part of his Stock Unit Account in cash to his Moody’s Account.  The Participant may elect a transfer once each calendar month, in 5% increments (with a minimum transfer of 10% of the Stock Unit Account), effective as of the first calendar day of the month following the minimum notice of three business days.  The cash value transferred will be determined by multiplying (a) the average of the composite closing prices of Textron common stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, for the ten trading days immediately following the month in which the election to transfer was made, times (b) the number of whole and fractional vested stock units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account on the last day of the calendar month preceding the transfer, times (c) the percentage being transferred.  The same methodology shall be used to determine the amount of any cash distribution from the Participant’s Stock Unit Account.

Distribution Elections .
 
(a)  
A Participant may make a special election during 2007 to receive the Participant’s Account under one or a combination of the distribution options in Section 5.03.  The Participant may not make a new election under this paragraph if the election would accelerate payment of the Participant’s benefit into the year of the new election, or if the new election would postpone a distribution that otherwise would be made in 2007.  An election under this paragraph shall be made in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, and the Plan Administrator may impose conditions in addition to those described in this subsection (a); but the election shall not be required to comply with the requirements of subsection (c), below (concerning changes in payment elections).
 
(b)  
Any Participant whose Account is first credited with Deferred Income after 2007 must make a distribution election at the time of the Participant’s enrollment in the Plan.  The Participant’s initial distribution election, and any change in the Participant’s distribution election under subsection (c), below, shall apply to the Participant’s entire Account, including future Deferred Income credited to the Account.  If the Participant elects to receive part of his Account as a lump sum and part in installments, the Participant must designate what portion of his Account will be distributed in each form of payment.  If a Participant does not make a valid distribution election at the time of his initial enrollment, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected a lump sum payment of his entire Account.
 
(c)  
After 2007, a Participant may change the form of payment he previously elected for his Account once (but only once).  The Participant’s new payment election must satisfy the following requirements:
 
(1)  
the new election must be made at least twelve months before the date when payment of the Account would otherwise commence (and the new election shall be ineffective if a subsequent event causes the original payment date to fall within the 12-month period);
 
(2)  
the new election must defer the date on which payment of the Account will commence by at least five years from the commencement date applicable to the Participant’s previous election; and
 
(3)  
the new election may not require annual installments to be paid over a period exceeding 10 years (or, if less, the number of whole years in the Participant’s remaining life expectancy, determined as

5.05  
Automatic Lump Sum Payments .
 
(a)  
Cash-Out of Small Accounts .  If the value of a Participant’s Account at the time of his Separation From Service or Total Disability is $100,000 or less, the Participant’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum, even if the Participant elected to receive installments.
 
(b)  
Participants Who Terminate Before Retirement Eligibility .  A Participant who first participated in the Plan after 2007 shall be paid in a lump sum (even if the Participant elected to receive installments) if the Participant’s Separation From Service or Total Disability occurs before the earliest of the following dates: (1) the date on which the Participant reaches at least age 55 and completes at least 10 years of service; (2) the date on which the Participant reaches at least age 35 and completes at least 20 years of service; and (3) the date on which the Participant reaches age 60.  In the case of a Participant who first participated in the Plan before 2008, the automatic lump-sum distribution described in the preceding sentence shall apply to Deferred Income that was credited to a Participant’s Account while the Participant was a Schedule B Participant, and any associated investment gains or losses, but shall not apply to Deferred Income that was credited to a Participant’s Account while the Participant was a Schedule A Participant, or to any associated investment gains or losses.
 
5.06  
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 5.06.
 
5.07  
Distribution Upon Unforeseeable Emergency .  If a Participant incurs a severe financial hardship as a result of an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may request a distribution from his vested Account of an amount that does not exceed the sum of (a) the amount necessary to satisfy the emergency and (b) the amount necessary to pay taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution.  The amount necessary to satisfy the emergency and to pay the related taxes or penalties shall be determined after taking into account the extent

to which the financial hardship is or may be relieved through cancellation of the Participant’s deferral election pursuant to Section 2.05(a); through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; or by liquidation of the Participant's assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship).  Textron may, in its sole discretion, grant or deny a request for a distribution upon an Unforeseeable Emergency.
 
5.08  
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 5.08 shall not be made earlier than six months after the Participant’s Separation From Service.
 
5.09  
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.

6.01  
Designating a Beneficiary .  A Participant may designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive the Participant’s Account after his death.  The designation shall be made in writing on a form provided by Textron, and shall be subject to any requirements or conditions Textron imposes.  The Participant may change the Beneficiary designation at any time before the earlier of the Participant’s death or the complete distribution of the Participant’s Account.  If a Participant’s Account is community property, any designation of a Beneficiary shall be valid or effective only as permitted under applicable law.  Any valid Beneficiary designation, and any valid change in a previous Beneficiary designation, shall become effective when Textron receives and accepts the Beneficiary designation form.  The most recent valid Beneficiary designation in effect at the time of the Participant’s death shall supersede any previous Beneficiary designation.
 
6.02  
Default Beneficiary .  In the absence of an effective Beneficiary designation, or if all persons so designated have predeceased the Participant, the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse.  If there is no surviving spouse, the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s natural and adopted children and their descendants per stirpes or, if there are no natural or adopted children or their descendants, to the Participant’s estate.
 
6.03  
Beneficiary Who Is Not Legally Competent .  If a Participant’s Beneficiary is a minor, a person who has been declared incompetent, or a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property, Textron may pay the Participant’s Account to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care and custody of such Beneficiary.  Textron may require proof of incompetency,

minority, incapacity, or guardianship as it deems appropriate prior to distribution of the Account. Such distribution shall completely discharge any Textron Company from all liability with respect to such Beneficiary’s interest in the Account.
 
6.04  
Distributions Upon Death .  If a Participant dies before his Account has been fully distributed, any amount remaining in his Account at his death shall be paid to his Beneficiary in a lump sum on the first business day of the first month that begins at least ninety (90) days after the Participant’s death.  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.
 
Article VII -   Unfunded Plan
 
7.01  
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.
 
7.02  
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”).
 
Article VIII -   Plan Administration

Delegation of Administrative Authority .  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to administer the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board or officer of Textron to make a further delegation of the authority to administer the Plan.

8.05  
Proof of Right to Receive Benefits .  Textron may require proof of death or Total Disability of any Participant and evidence of the right of any person to receive any Plan benefit.
 
8.06  
Claims Procedure .  A Participant or Beneficiary who believes that he is being denied a benefit to which he is entitled under the Plan (referred to in this Section 8.06 as a “Claimant”) may file a written request with Textron setting forth the claim.  Textron shall consider and resolve the claim as set forth below.
 
(a)  
Time for Response .  Upon receipt of a claim, Textron shall advise the Claimant that a response will be forthcoming within 90 days.  Textron may, however, extend the response period for up to an additional 90 days for reasonable cause, and shall notify the Claimant of the reason for the

Denial .  If the claim is denied in whole or part, Textron shall provide the Claimant with a written decision, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth (1) the specific reason or reasons for such denial; (2) the specific reference to relevant provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based; (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary; (4) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; (5) the time limits for requesting a review of the claim; and (6) the Claimant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
 
(c)  
Request for Review .  Within 60 days after the Claimant’s receipt of the written decision denying the claim in whole or in part, the Claimant may request in writing that Textron review the determination.  The Claimant or his duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the relevant documents and submit issues and comment in writing for consideration by Textron.  If the Claimant does not request a review of the initial determination within such 60-day period, the Claimant shall be barred from challenging the determination.
 
(d)  
Review of Initial Determination .  Within 60 days after Textron receives a request for review, it will review the initial determination.  If special circumstances require that the 60-day time period be extended, Textron will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.
 
(e)  
Decision on Review .  All decisions on review shall be final and binding with respect to all concerned parties.  The decision on review shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, (1) the specific reasons for the decision, shall including references to the relevant Plan provisions upon which the decision is based; (2) the Claimant’s right to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information, relevant to his benefits; and (3) the Claimant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
 
8.07  
Enforcement 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 Section 1.04 shall be liable, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Participant or Beneficiary for the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred during the Participant’s or

Beneficiary’s lifetime in pursuing any such claim or litigation, and to pay prejudgment interest at the Prime Rate as quoted in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on any money award or judgment obtained by the Participant or Beneficiary, payable at the same time as the underlying award or judgment.  Any reimbursement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Participant no earlier than six months after the Participant’s Separation From Service, and shall be paid to the Participant or Beneficiary no later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the expense was incurred.  The reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and the amount of reimbursable expense incurred in one year shall not affect the amount of reimbursement available in another year.

Section 9.04 if the termination of the Plan is proximate to a downturn in Textron’s financial health.  If Textron exercises its discretion to accelerate payments under this Section 9.04, it shall not adopt any new arrangement that would have been aggregated with the Plan under IRC Section 409A within three years following the date of the Plan’s termination.

10.02  
Transferability of Plan Benefits .
 
(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 Textron, 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.

10.04  
Controlling State Law .  This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
10.05  
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.

Deferred Income Plan
for Textron Executives
Appendix A — Key Executive Plan

 
Introduction

Before January 1, 2008, the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Key Executives (the “Key Executive Plan”) and the Textron Inc. Deferred Income Plan for Executives (the “Executive Plan”) were separate nonqualified deferred compensation plans, each of which provided both elective and nonelective deferred compensation for designated executives of Textron and its affiliates.  The Key Executive Plan and the Executive Plan were combined effective January 1, 2008, to form the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives.
 
A.
Key Executive Protected Benefits
(Earned and Vested Before 2005)
 
The portion of Appendix A that follows this Introduction sets forth the 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’ deferred compensation that was earned and vested (within the meaning of Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increases that are permitted to be included in this amount 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 Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives .
 
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 IRC 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 IRC Section 409A.  Although the Key Executive Protected Benefits are not intended to be subject to IRC 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 IRC Section 409A.

B.
Benefits Subject To Section 409A
(Earned or Vested From 2005 Through 2007)
 
Deferred compensation earned by Key Executives after 2004, and deferred compensation 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
 
 
 
 
Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives
Effective January 3, 2010
Appendix A

Executive Plan after 2004 shall be paid exclusively as provided in the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives (not including any appendix to the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives), and shall not be subject to any provision of Appendix A that relates to the payment or distribution of benefits.

Section 5.01 requires a Participant to make an election if the Participant wishes to request one of the distribution options in Section 5.02.  This election provision was effective as of July 25, 2007, the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board.
 
Key Executive Plan

The text that follows sets forth the provisions of the Key Executive Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, and as modified thereafter in certain respects that do not constitute “material modifications” for purposes of IRC Section 409A.  The defined terms in Appendix A relate only to the provisions set forth in Appendix A: they do not apply to any other provisions of the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives, and terms defined elsewhere in the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives do not apply to Appendix A.  No additional benefits shall accrue or be deferred under Appendix A after December 31, 2007.

(b)      Textron may in its sole discretion from time to time make additional contributions to any account maintained for a Participant. These additional contributions, if any, may be subject to a vesting schedule set by Textron.
 
(c)      The existence of these accounts shall not require any segregation of assets.
 
(d)      Amount deferred as Elective Deferred Income and Automatic Deferred Income shall always be 100% vested.

3.02
The Moody’s Account shall reflect a Participant’s investment in an interest-bearing account.
 
(a)      The Moody’s Account shall be adjusted as of each Determination Date and shall consist of (1) the balance of the Account as of the immediately preceding Determination Date, (2) amounts of Deferred Income credited to the Account in the intervening month, and (3) Interest earned since the immediately preceding Determination Date based on one-twelfth of the applicable interest rate(s) described in Sections 3.03 or 3.04 on the average daily balance of the Account (or portion thereof) during the intervening month; reduced by (4) any distributions from the account (or portion thereof) during the intervening month.

The crediting rate shall not be less than 10% per year for deferrals made from 1988 through 2001.

3.05
The Stock Unit Account shall consist of stock units, which are phantom shares of Textron Common Stock, accumulated and accounted for under this Plan for the sole purpose of determining the cash amount of any distribution on account of this portion of Deferred Income.  Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, 100% of Automatic Deferred Income shall be deferred to the Stock Unit Account.

3.06
The Stock Unit Account shall be adjusted as of each Determination Date and shall consist of the stock units (1) in the account as of the immediately preceding Determination Date, (2) credited under Section 3.07 and 3.08 during the intervening month, and (3) credited under Section 3.09 during the intervening month.

(b)           The amount in excess of 100% of the Elective Deferred Income is the “Textron Company Contribution.” A Participant’s right to receive the Textron Company Contribution, as adjusted under Section 3.09, shall become nonforfeitable according to this schedule:
 
         (1) 50% on December 31 of the calendar year in which that Elective Deferred Income otherwise would have been paid to him, but only if his Textron Employment continues on that December 31; and

(d)      A Participant’s right to receive her Textron Company Contribution shall become nonforfeitable according to the above schedule if a Participant ends employment when she is at least 55 with ten or more years of Textron service, or is at least age 60, or has completed 20 or more years of Textron service.
 
3.08
With respect to deferrals into this Plan of amounts from the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan for Textron Employees and the Long Term Incentive Plan for Textron Employees, Textron shall credit stock units to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account, equal to the number of shares the deferred amount could have purchased at the “Current Value” of a share of Textron Common Stock. The Current Value is defined in Section 3.07 of the Long Term Incentive Plan for Textron Employees. With respect to deferrals into this Plan of any other amounts, each month Textron shall credit stock units to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account equal in number to the number of shares of Textron Common Stock that the deferred amount could have purchased at a price per share equal to the average of the composite closing prices of Textron Common Stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal for the month the contribution is credited.

3.09
From time to time, Textron shall credit Stock Units 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.

3.10
The number of Stock Units credited to a Participant’s account under this Article III shall be adjusted, without receipt of any consideration by Textron, on account of any recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend or similar increase or decrease affecting Textron Common Stock, as if the Stock Units were actually shares of Textron Common Stock.

3.11
The Interest Account shall be established when the benefits relating to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account become due to the Participant under Article IV. 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 Interest Account.
 
(a)      Any transfer made shall be made in cash and shall be in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Current Value of Textron Common Stock on the date as of which the stock units are converted and transferred to the Interest Account, times (y) the number of whole and fractional stock units which are nonforfeitable.

(b)      As used in the Plan, the current value of a share of Textron Common Stock on any 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.
 
(c)      Interest on amounts in the Interest Account will be credited monthly at the Moody’s rate.  Stock units transferred related to deferrals made prior to January 1, 2002, shall have a minimum rate of 8%.
 
Article IV—Benefits

4.01
If a Key Executive’s Textron Employment ends other than by death or for less than acceptable performance (1) at or after age 62, or (2) as a result of Total Disability, the amount credited to his Moody’s Account at the Moody’s Plus Rate, the amount in his Stock Unit Account which is then nonforfeitable according to Section 3.07, and the amount in his Interest Account, shall be distributed in accordance with Article V.

4.02

A Participant who wishes to request a form of payment must file an election to indicate her preferred form of payment; but all Participant elections shall be subject to Textron’s discretion to change the elected form of payment as provided in the preceding sentence.  If the Participant terminated before January 1, 2002, the Participant must file the election by December 31, 2008; any other Participant must file the election by December 31, 2007.  Textron may impose conditions on the new benefit election (including, but not limited to, a requirement that the Participant elect the same form of payment for his pre-2005 Account under this Appendix A and his post-2004 account under the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives).  If the current value of a Participant’s Deferred Income Plan Accounts is $100,000 or less at termination, or if the Participant fails to request a form of payment before the applicable deadline, such Participant’s accounts shall be paid in a single sum.

5.02
After benefits relating to a Participant’s Moody’s Account, his Stock Unit Account and his Interest Account become payable under Article IV, Textron shall distribute the benefits in accordance with any one of the following methods:
 
(a)      Payment in a single sum; or
 
(b)      Payment in a number of annual installments, each payable as soon as practicable after the end of each successive calendar year.  The number of installments shall not exceed the lesser of 15 or life expectancy of the Participant. 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; or
 
(c)      Payment through a combination of the foregoing methods.

5.03
(a)     For Participants who terminate prior to January 1, 2002, Plan benefits payable under Section 5.02 shall begin to be paid not later than February 15 of the first calendar year which begins after the date on which (1) the final payment of the Participant’s Compensation is scheduled to be made, or (2) the Participant attains or would have attained age 65, whichever is later. For Participants who terminate on or after January 1, 2002, Plan benefits under Section 5.02(a) shall begin to be paid not later than February 15 following the year the Participant terminated, or sixty days after termination of employment, whichever is later.
 
(b)      P lan benefits are paid from a Moody’s Account in accordance with Section 5.02(a) or 5.02(b), amounts (if any) described in Section 3.04 shall be paid first from Section 3.04(c), next from pre-2002 deferrals in Section 3.03, next from Section 3.04(b), and lastly from Section 3.04(a).

5.04
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, the amount then credited to the Moody’s Account, Stock Unit Account and Interest Account of each Key Executive shall become due and payable immediately upon a Change in Control as defined in Section 9.03.

5.05
Distributions under this Article V shall be made on a pro-rata basis from each account in which there is an amount.

Article VI—Beneficiaries

6.01
A Participant may designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive Plan benefits payable on the Participant’s account after his death. A Beneficiary may designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive any unpaid Plan benefits to the extent this designation does not contravene any designation filed by the deceased Participant through whom the Beneficiary himself claims under this Plan. Beneficiaries shall be designated only upon forms made available by or satisfactory to Textron, and filed by the Participant or Beneficiary with Textron.  Effective January 1, 2008, any payment to a Beneficiary shall be made in a lump sum.  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.

6.02
At any time prior to his death, a Participant or Beneficiary may change his own designation of Beneficiary by filing a substitute designation of Beneficiary with Textron.

6.03
In the absence of an effective designation of Beneficiary, or if all persons so designated shall have predeceased the Participant/Beneficiary or shall have died before the complete distribution of Plan benefits, the balance of Plan benefits shall be paid to the Participant/Beneficiary’s surviving spouse or, if none, to the Participant/Beneficiary’s issue per stirpes or, if no issue, to the executor or administrator of the Participant/Beneficiary’s estate.

6.04
If a Participant’s Compensation or a Plan benefit is community property, any designation of Beneficiary shall be valid or effective only as permitted under applicable law.

6.05
If a Plan benefit is payable to a minor or person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property, Textron may pay such Plan benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person. Textron may require proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as it deems appropriate prior to distribution of the Plan benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge any Textron Company from all liability with respect to such benefit.

Article VII—Unfunded Plan

7.01
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.

7.02
This 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.

Article VIII—Plan Administration

8.01
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 and may from time to time establish rules for the administration of this Plan and the transaction of its business. Subject to Section 8.05, 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.  The Board may exercise Textron’s authority as plan administrator, and the authority to administer the Plan may be delegated as provided in Section 8.02.

8.02
The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to administer the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board or officer of Textron to make a further delegation of the authority to administer the Plan.

8.03
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

Effective January 3, 2010
Appendix A
Page 11
 
 
 
 

 

 
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.
 
8.04
Textron may require proof of the death or Total Disability of any Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary and evidence of the right of any person to receive any Plan benefit.

8.05
Claims under this Plan shall be filed in writing with Textron, and shall be reviewed and resolved pursuant to the claims procedure in Section 8.06 of the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives.

8.06
Textron shall withhold from benefits paid under this Plan any taxes or other amounts required to be withheld by law.

Article IX—Miscellaneous

9.01
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.
 
9.02
(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 Textron, 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
 
 
 
 
Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives

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.
 
9.03

(a)      Shall reduce the amount credited to any Moody’s Account, Stock Unit Account or Interest Account immediately before the effective date of the amendment, modification, suspension or termination; or
 
(b)      Shall be made to Article V or this Section 9.03 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 for the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred in any such claim or litigation and for prejudgment interest as provided in Section 8.07 of the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives.
 
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.
 

9.04
The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to amend the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board to make a further delegation of the authority to amend the Plan.

Textron Spillover Savings Plan
 
Effective January 3, 2010
 
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”).  The Plan has been amended from time to time since the previous restatement.  This restatement of the Plan reflects all amendments that are effective through the date of this restatement.
 
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
 
 
 
 
 
Textron Spillover Savings Plan
Effective January 3, 2010 
 
Page 1

 
 

 

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 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 I – Definitions

The following terms shall have the meanings set forth in this Article, unless a contrary or different meaning is expressly provided:

1.01

“Account” means the bookkeeping entry used to record supplemental contributions and earnings credited to a Participant under the Plan.  A Participant’s Account may include two sub-accounts, a Stock Unit Account and a Moody’s Account, to track earnings on different hypothetical investment funds.  Any Supplemental Shares credited to a Participant’s Account on December 31, 2009, shall be credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account as of January 1, 2010.  All amounts credited to the Account shall be unfunded obligations of Textron: no assets shall be set aside or contributed to the Plan for the Participant’s benefit.  A Key Executive’s Account does not include supplemental savings benefits that were earned and vested (within the meaning of IRC Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increase that is permitted to be included in such amounts under IRC Section 409A: these amounts are calculated and paid solely as provided in Appendix A.

1.03  
“Beneficiary” means the person designated under the Plan (including any person who is automatically designated by the terms of the Plan) to receive any death benefit payable with respect to a Participant.  A Participant’s trust or estate may also be the Participant’s Beneficiary.

(c)
during any 12-month period, a majority of the members of the Board is replaced by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors before the date of their appointment or election.

pant in the Plan when his matching contribution or Additional Retirement Contribution under the Qualified Savings Plan is limited by the Statutory Limit.

Period of Participation .  Except as provided in the following sentence, once an individual becomes a Participant under Section 2.01 above, the individual shall remain a Participant until the individual’s Account is fully distributed, or until the individual’s participation in the Plan is terminated by the Board (or by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer) effective as of the following January 1.  If an employee or former employee is not identified in Textron’s records as a Participant as of December 31, 2008, the individual shall not be a Participant, and shall not be entitled to receive any benefit under the Plan, unless the individual either (i) becomes a Participant after 2008 pursuant to Section 2.01, or (ii) is designated by the Board (or by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer) as a Participant after 2008.

Article III – Spillover Savings Benefit

3.01  
Supplemental Matching Contribution .

 
(a)
Amount of Contribution .  If a Participant contributes at least 10% of eligible compensation to the Textron Savings Plan during a calendar year, the Participant’s Stock Unit 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.

 
(b)
Stock Unit Account .  The Stock Unit Account shall consist of Supplemental Shares.  Textron shall credit the supplemental matching contribution to a Participant’s Stock Unit 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.

(c)
Crediting Dividend Equivalents and Other Adjustments . Textron shall credit additional Supplemental Shares to a Participant’s Stock Unit 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 Stock Unit 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.

 
(d)
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 Stock Unit 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.

3.02  
Supplemental Retirement Contribution .

 
 (a)
Amount of Contribution .  If a Participant receives an Additional Retirement Contribution under the Textron Savings Plan for a calendar year, and the Additional Retirement Contribution is limited by a Statutory Limit, the Participant’s Moody’s Account shall be credited with a supplemental retirement contribution for that calendar year.  The supplemental retirement contribution shall be credited to the Participant’s Moody’s Account as of the same date on which the Additional Retirement Contribution is contributed to the Textron Savings Plan.  The supplemental retirement contribution shall be equal to (1) the Additional Retirement Contribution that the Participant would have received for the calendar year if the Statutory Limits had not applied, reduced by (2) the Participant’s actual Additional Retirement Contribution under the Textron Savings Plan for the calendar year.  The Participant must be employed by a Textron Company on December 31 of the calendar year in order to receive a supplemental retirement contribution for that calendar year.
 
 
(b)
Moody’s Account .  The Moody’s Account shall earn interest at a monthly interest rate that is one twelfth of the average for the calendar month of the
 
 
 
 
 
Textron Spillover Savings Plan
Effective January 3, 2010 
 
Page 7

 
 

 
 
 
 
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 Textron.  Interest shall be credited on the last day of each calendar month on the average daily balance of the Moody’s Account during the month.  A supplemental retirement contribution shall not begin to earn interest until it is credited to a Participant’s Moody’s Account.
 
Article IV – Vesting

4.01  
Vesting Schedule .  Except as provided in Section 4.02, a Participant’s Stock Unit Account shall be vested to the same extent that the Participant’s matching contribution account under the Qualified Savings Plan is vested, and a Participant’s Moody’s Account shall be vested to the same extent that the Participant’s Additional Retirement Contribution Account under the Textron 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 if the Participant is employed by a Textron Company on the date of the Change in Control.

Article V – Distribution of Accounts

5.01 
Separation From Service .  A Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a lump sum in cash on the first business day of the seventh month following his Separation From Service (or in January 2009, if later).

5.02   
Disability or Death .  If a Participant dies before his Account is distributed, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a lump sum in cash on the first business day of the first month that begins at least ninety (90) days after the Participant’s death.  If a Participant 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 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
 
 
 
 
 
Textron Spillover Savings Plan
Effective January 3, 2010 
 
Page 8

 
 

 

 
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 January 1, 2008, 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”).
 
Article VII – Plan Administration
 
7.01  
Plan Administrator’s Powers .  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 7.06, any actions by Textron shall be final, conclusive and binding on each Participant and all persons claiming by, through or under any

Delegation of Administrative Authority .  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to administer the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board or officer of Textron to make a further delegation of the authority to administer the Plan.

7.03  
Tax Withholding .  Textron may withhold from benefits paid under this Plan any taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld.  Textron may deduct from the undistributed portion of a Participant’s benefit any employment tax that Textron reasonably determines to be due with respect to the benefit under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), and an amount sufficient to pay the income tax withholding related to such FICA tax.  Alternatively, Textron may require the Participant or Beneficiary to remit to Textron or its designee an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, and local income and employment tax with respect to the Participant’s benefit.  The Participant or Beneficiary shall remain responsible at all times for paying any federal, state, or local income or employment tax with respect to any benefit under this Plan.  In no event shall Textron or any employee or agent of Textron be liable for any interest or penalty that a Participant or Beneficiary incurs by failing to make timely payments of tax.

7.04  
Use of Third Parties to Assist with Plan Administration .  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 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.

7.05  
Proof of Right to Receive Benefits .  Textron may require proof of death or Total Disability of any Participant and evidence of the right of any person to receive any Plan benefit.

7.06

(d)
Review of Initial Determination .  Within 60 days after Textron receives a request for review, it will review the initial determination.  If special circumstances require that the 60-day time period be extended, Textron will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.
 
 
(e)
Decision on Review . All decisions on review shall be final and binding with respect to all concerned parties.  The decision on review shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, (1) the specific reasons for the decision, shall including references to the relevant Plan provisions upon which the decision is based; (2) the Claimant’s right to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information, relevant to his bene-

9.02  
Transferability of Plan Benefits .

 
(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
 
 
 
 
 
Textron Spillover Savings Plan

(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 Textron, 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.

9.03  
Section 409A Compliance .  The Plan is intended to comply with IRC Section 409A and should be interpreted accordingly.  Any distribution election that would not comply with IRC Section 409A is not effective.  To the extent that a provision of this Plan does not comply with IRC Section 409A, such provision shall be void and without effect.  Textron does not warrant that the Plan will comply with IRC Section 409A with respect to any Participant or with respect to any payment, however.  In no event shall any Textron Company; any director, officer, or employee of a Textron Company (other than the Participant); or any member of Textron be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant or Beneficiary as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy the requirements of IRC Section 409A, or as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy any other requirements of applicable tax laws.

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

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 calcu-

lated 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 6.03(c) of Appendix A requires a Participant to make an election if the Participant wishes to request one of the distribution options in Section 6.03.  Section 1.08 of the Market Square Profit Sharing Plan Schedule requires a Participant to make an election 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
 
The text that follows sets forth the defined contribution provisions of the Key Executive Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, and as modified thereafter in certain respects that do not constitute “material modifications” for purposes of IRC Section 409A.  The defined terms in Appendix A relate only to the provisions set forth in Appendix A: they do not apply to any other provisions of the Textron Spillover Savings Plan, and terms defined elsewhere in the Textron Spillover Savings Plan do not apply to Appendix A.  No additional benefits shall accrue or be deferred under Appendix A after December 31, 2007.

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 Textron.  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 Board 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 6.06, 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.  The

Board may exercise Textron’s authority as plan administrator, and the authority to administer the Plan may be delegated as provided in Section 6.02.
 
6.02
The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to administer the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board or officers of Textron to make a futher delegation of the authority to administer the Plan.
 
6.03
(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 Textron 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, Textron 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 (or in January 2009, if the Participant’s employment terminated before December 31, 2007) 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 the election deadline described below, to indicate her preferred form of payment; but all Participant elections shall be subject to Textron’s discretion to change the elected form of payment.   If a Participant’s supplemental savings

Appendix A

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 2008, 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 December 31, 2007, and if the Participant fails to request a form of payment before the end of 2008, such Participant’s account shall be paid in a lump sum in cash in January 2009.
 
 
(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.
 
6.04
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.
 
6.05
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.
 
6.06
Claims under this Plan shall be filed in writing with Textron, and shall be reviewed and resolved pursuant to the claims procedure in Section 7.06 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 re-
 
 
 
 
Textron Spillover Savings Plan

Appendix A

lations 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 Textron, 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 6.03 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 7.07 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
The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to amend the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board to make a further delegation of the authority to amend the Plan.
 
7.05
This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
7.06
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.
 
7.07
Textron, the Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Human Resources Officer may impose such other lawful terms and conditions on participation in this Plan as deemed desirable.

Textron Spillover Pension Plan
 
As Amended and Restated
 
Effective January 3, 2010
 
Introduction
 
The Textron Spillover Pension Plan (the “Plan”) is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement.   The Plan is a continuation of the defined benefit 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 benefit portions of these plans were combined to form the Plan effective January 1, 2007.  The defined contribution portions of the Key Executive Plan and the Executive Plan were continued as separate plans on and after January 1, 2007, and were combined to form the Textron Spillover Savings Plan effective January 1, 2008.  The Textron Spillover Pension Plan was amended and restated, effective January 1, 2008, to reflect the final regulations interpreting Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) and to incorporate certain other changes.
 
The Plan provides supplemental pension benefits for designated executives of Textron and its affiliates who participate in the Textron Retirement Program.  The Plan provides benefits that would have been payable under one of the tax-qualified defined benefit plans in the Textron Retirement Program if not for the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.  For certain executives who participated in the Key Executive Plan or the Executive Plan on December 31, 2006, the Plan also provides benefits based on an expanded definition of compensation, and benefits corresponding to the grandfathered benefits under the Textron Retirement Program.  The Plan has been amended from time to time since the previous restatement.  This restatement of the Plan reflects all amendments that are effective through the date of this restatement.
 
Appendix A and Appendix B of the Plan set forth the defined benefit 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 pension 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, 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 Pension Plan.
 
Supplemental pension benefits that were earned or vested after 2004 and before 2007 are subject to the provisions of IRC Section 409A.  These benefits are calculated under Appendix A or Appendix B, whichever is applicable, but are paid exclusively as provided in the Textron Spillover Pension Plan (not including any appendix to the Plan).  Although the provisions of the Textron Spillover Pension Plan generally are effective as of January 1, 2007, the provisions that govern the distribution of benefits earned or vested after 2004 under the Key Executive Plan or the Executive Plan are effective as of January 1, 2005.

Article II – Participation

2.01  
Eligibility and Participation .  An individual who is a participant in a Pension Plan shall become a Participant in the Plan upon either: (a) (1) being designated by Textron’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer as an eligible executive and (2) having compensation, as defined in the Pension Plan, that exceeds the limit of IRC Section 401(a)(17), or (b) participating in the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives.  An individual shall not become a Participant in the Plan after December 31, 2009, unless the individual was a participant in a Pension Plan on December 31, 2009, and has not incurred a Separation from Service after that date and before becoming a Participant in the Plan.

2.02  
Period of Participation .  Except as provided in the following sentence, once an individual becomes a Participant under Section 2.01 above, the individual shall remain a Participant (even if his or her compensation, as defined in the Pension Plan, subsequently falls below the IRC Section 401(a)(17) limit) until the individual’s benefit under the Plan is fully distributed, or until the individual’s participation in the Plan is terminated by the Board (or by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer) effective as of the following January 1.  If an employee or former employee is not identified in Textron’s records as a Participant as of December 31, 2008, the individual shall not be a Participant, and shall not be entitled to receive any benefit under the Plan, unless the individual becomes a Participant after 2008 pursuant to Section 2.01.

Article III – Spillover Pension Benefit Amounts

3.01  
Retirement Benefits .  The benefit payable under the Plan to a Participant who is not a Grandfathered Participant shall be (a) the benefit that would have been payable under the Pension Plan if the Statutory Limits were ignored and Compensation Base were determined as provided under Section 1.05, minus (b) the benefit that actually would be payable under the Pension Plan at the same time and in the same form.  In addition to the benefit described in the preceding sentence, a Participant who is designated pursuant to Appendix C shall be eligible to receive a wrap-around pension benefit determined as provided in Appendix C, subject to the vesting requirements and other terms and conditions specified in Appendix C.

3.02  
Grandfathered Participants .  Under the Textron Retirement Program, a new Pension Plan formula became effective on January 1, 2007.  Any Participant who,

 
 
 
Texton Spillover Pension Plan
Amended and Restated January 3, 2010
 
Page 6
 
 
 
 

 

 
as of January 1, 2007, was vested, and whose age and years of service combined were at least 55, was grandfathered in his or her prior Pension Plan formula, early retirement eligibility provisions, and early retirement factors.  For service after 2006, a Participant who was grandfathered under the Textron Retirement Program will receive the greater of the benefit determined under the new Pension Plan formula and the benefit determined as if the Grandfathered Formula had remained in effect after 2006.  Textron wishes to provide a comparable benefit under this Plan for certain Participants who participated in the Key Executive Plan or the Executive Plan on December 31, 2006, but who did not satisfy the requirements to be grandfathered under the Textron Retirement Program.  Accordingly, the benefit payable under the Plan to any Participant who is a Grandfathered Participant as defined in Section 1.09 shall be (a) the greater of (i) the benefit determined under the Pension Plan formula applicable to the Participant and (ii) the benefit that would have accrued under the Pension Plan if the Grandfathered Formula had remained in effect after 2006, determined in each case without regard to the Statutory Limits and using Compensation Base as defined in Section 1.05, minus (b) the benefit that actually would be payable under the Pension Plan (without using the Grandfathered Formula) at the same time and in the same form.
 
3.03  
Calculation of Benefits .  In determining benefits for any purpose under the Plan, and in determining benefits under the Pension Plan for purposes of calculating benefits under the Plan, the following rules shall apply:

 
(a)
All benefits shall be determined without taking into account any offset for the value of the Participant’s account under the Textron Inc. Retirement Account Plan.

 
(b)
If a benefit under the Plan commences before or after the Participant’s normal retirement age under the Pension Plan, the benefit under the Plan and under the Pension Plan shall be actuarially adjusted for early or late commencement as provided in the Pension Plan.

 
(c)
When a benefit under the Plan is reduced by the corresponding benefit under the Pension Plan, the reduction shall be determined as if the Pension Plan benefit were commencing at the same time and were payable in the same form as the benefit under the Plan, regardless of whether the Participant has elected a different time or form of payment for the Pension Plan benefit.

 
(d)
If it is necessary to determine the present value of a Participant’s benefit for purposes of Section 5.06 (concerning automatic cash-out of small benefits), the present value shall be based on (i) the Participant’s early retirement benefit, if the Participant is eligible for early retirement, (ii) the

 
 
 
Texton Spillover Pension Plan
Amended and Restated January 3, 2010
 
Page 7
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
Plan benefit commencing at the Participant’s age 65, if the Participant is not eligible for early retirement or has suffered a Total Disability, or (iii) the survivor annuity or death benefit, if the Participant has died; provided, however, that clause (ii) shall apply in calculating the automatic cash-out under Section 5.06 for any Participant who was, as of December 31, 2008, a member of the Management Committee even if the Participant is eligible for early retirement.  If it is necessary to determine the present value of a Participant’s benefit under any other provision of the Plan, the present value shall be based on the Plan benefit commencing at the Participant’s age 65 (or the Participant’s death, in the case of a survivor annuity or death benefit).  In each case, present value shall be determined using the 1994 Group Annuity Reserving Table (unisex) based on a blend of 50% of the male mortality rates and 50% of the female mortality rates (if mortality is applicable in the calculation) and an interest rate of 7%.
 
 
(e)
A Participant’s benefit determined under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 shall be increased as provided in Section 5.04(c) if the Participant’s lump-sum ratio determined under that section exceeds 100%.  If the Participant’s benefit is paid in a form other than a lump sum, the actuarial assumptions specified in subparagraph (d), above, shall be used to convert the enhanced value of the Participant’s benefit to an annuity at age 65; the assumptions specified subparagraph (b) and (c), above, and in Section 3.04, below, shall be used to convert the additional age-65 annuity to the actual form of payment.  If the Participant dies before the Participant’s Separation From Service, the lump-sum ratio shall be determined at the time of the Participant’s death; if the lump-sum ratio is greater than 100%, the enhanced value of the Participant’s benefit shall be used to calculate any pre-pension survivor annuity or death benefit payable to the Participant’s Beneficiary.

 
(f)
Benefits earned before 2007 under the defined benefit portions of the Key Executive Plan or the Executive Plan shall be calculated solely as provided in Appendix A or Appendix B, whichever is applicable.

3.04  
Other Forms of Benefit .  Termination benefits, pre-retirement or post-retirement death benefits (including any death benefit and any surviving spouse benefit provided by a Textron Company at its sole cost through a Pension Plan), pre-pension survivor annuity benefits, post-pension survivor annuity benefits, disability benefits, and other optional forms of payment or ancillary benefits shall be based on the Participant’s benefit under the Plan, determined as provided in Section 3.01 or 3.02 and Section 3.03, and shall include any actuarial reduction, charge, survivor percentage, or other adjustment applicable to the corresponding form of payment under the Pension Plan.

3.05
Benefit Upon Transfer of Liability .  In the event Textron transfers liability for a Participant’s benefit under a Pension Plan to another qualified plan, the Plan benefits under this Article III shall be determined as of the date of such transfer, unless otherwise determined by Textron in its sole discretion.
 
Article IV – Vesting

4.01  
Vesting Schedule .  Participants shall vest in the Plan in the same manner as is provided for under the Pension Plan.

4.02 
Change in Control .  In the event of a Change in Control, if a Participant is employed by a Textron Company on the date of the Change in Control, all benefits accrued by the Participant as of the date of the Change in Control shall become fully vested.
 
Article V – Distribution of Benefits

5.01  
Automatic Distributions .  Unless a Participant elected a different time and form of payment before 2008 under Section 5.11(d), below, the Participant’s benefit shall commence as of the later of age 55 or the first day of the seventh month following Separation From Service, and shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity if the Participant is single when the distribution commences, or in the form of an actuarially equivalent joint and 50% surviving spouse annuity if the Participant is married when the distribution commences.  The benefits of a Participant whose benefits vest after his Separation From Service shall commence on the later of the (1) the date that would have applied if his benefits had been vested at his Separation From Service, or (2) the first day of the month following the date on which his benefits vest. A Participant may change the automatic time or form of distribution to another time or form of distribution that is available under this Article V, subject to the spousal consent requirement in Section 5.02, below, and the rules governing changes in distribution elections in Section 5.11, below.  A Participant shall be deemed to have elected the automatic time and form of distribution unless the Participant changes his payment election as provided in Article V.

5.02
Spousal Consent .  If a Participant is married when he or she makes a distribution election (including a change in a prior distribution election), the Participant must have the written consent of his or her spouse in order to elect any form of payment other than a joint and 50% surviving spouse annuity.  If a Participant elects to receive a distribution in the form of an annuity, and the Participant marries or re-marries after the date of the distribution election, the Participant shall automatically receive an actuarially equivalent joint and 50% surviving spouse annuity unless his or her current spouse consents in writing to a different form of distribution.  Except as provided in the two preceding sentences, if a
 


 
Texton Spillover Pension Plan

Participant has designated a person other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, the Participant may change the Beneficiary designation without the consent of his or her spouse.  A change in the Beneficiary designation alone (without a corresponding change in the time or form of distribution) shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 5.11(b).
 
5.03  
Time and Form of Distribution .  Subject to Section 5.01, a Participant may elect a time and form of distribution specified below for the portion of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan that is earned or vested after 2004 (including any portion of the Participant’s benefit that was earned or vested after 2004 under Appendix A or Appendix B).  Any portion of the Participant’s benefit that was earned and vested before 2005 shall be calculated and paid solely as provided in Appendix A or Appendix B, whichever is applicable, and shall not be subject to this Article V.

 
(a)
A lump-sum distribution of the portion of the benefit determined under Section 5.04, payable on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation From Service, with the remainder of the benefit (if any) payable as an annuity under subsection (c), below.

 
(b)
A lump-sum distribution of the portion of the benefit determined under Section 5.04, payable on the later of (1) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation From Service or (2) attainment of Retirement Age, with the remainder of the benefit (if any) payable as an annuity under subsection (c), below.

 
(c)
A joint and 50% survivor annuity, a joint and 75% survivor annuity, a joint and 100% survivor annuity, a single life annuity, or any other actuarially-equivalent single life annuity or joint and survivor annuity that the Participant is eligible to elect under the Participant’s Pension Plan, commencing on the later of (1) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation From Service or (2) attainment of Retirement Age.
 
  
A Participant’s benefit under the Plan will be paid pursuant to the most recent valid election in effect at the time of his Separation From Service (including an election the Participant is deemed to have made under the terms of the Plan), except as provided in Section 5.06 (automatic cash-out of small benefits), Section 5.07 (payments following Total Disability), Section 5.08 (payments following death), Section 5.09 (administrative adjustments), Section 5.10 (payments following a Change in Control), and Section 5.11(c) (distributions before 2008).

(a)
If the Participant is not a Grandfathered Participant, the Plan Administrator shall determine the ratio, as of the Participant’s Separation From Service, of (i) the value of the Participant’s account under the Retirement Account Plan to   (ii) the present value of the benefit the Participant earned under the Pension Plan after 2006 (without taking into account any offset for the value of the Participant’s account under the Retirement Account Plan).

 
(b)
If the Participant is a Grandfathered Participant, the Plan Administrator shall determine the ratio in subsection (a), above, as if the Participant had satisfied the requirements to be grandfathered under the Textron Retirement Program, and had earned a benefit under the Pension Plan after 2006 equal to the greater of the Participant’s actual post-2006 Pension Plan benefit and the benefit determined as if the Grandfathered Formula had remained in effect after 2006.   This paragraph shall apply solely for purposes of determining a Grandfathered Participant’s lump-sum ratio, and not for purposes of determining the amount of the Grandfathered Participant’s benefit under the Plan (except to the extent that the lump-sum ratio results in an enhancement of the Participant’s benefit under subsection (c)).

 
(c)
The Plan Administrator shall apply the lump-sum ratio determined under subsection (a) or (b), whichever is applicable, to the present value (determined as of the date of the distribution) of the portion of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan that accrued after 2006.  The percentage of the present value determined by the lump-sum ratio shall be payable in a lump sum, and (except as provided in the following sentence) the remaining portion of Participant’s benefit payable under this Article V shall be paid as an annuity.  If the ratio determined under subsection (a) or (b) is greater than 100%, the present value of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan that accrued after 2006 shall be increased by a corresponding amount, and the Participant’s entire benefit under the Plan that was earned or vested after 2004 (including the enhancement) shall be payable in a lump sum; but no portion of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan that accrued before 2007 shall be enhanced by the lump-sum ratio.

sum, without interest, on the first day of the seventh month after the Participant’s Separation From Service.
 
5.06  
Automatic Cash-Out .  If the present value of the benefit earned or vested after 2004 (or the present value of the Beneficiary’s pre-pension survivor annuity earned or vested after 2004, in the case of the Participant’s death) is $150,000 or less at the earliest of the Participant’s Separation From Service, Total Disability, or death, then the Participant’s entire benefit earned or vested after 2004 (or the Beneficiary’s entire benefit earned or vested after 2004, in the case of the Participant’s death) shall be distributed in a single lump-sum payment (1) on the first day of the seventh month after the Participant’s Separation From Service, (2) on the first day of the month that is at least 30 days after the Participant’s Total Disability, or (3) on the first business day of the first month that begins at least 90 days after the Participant’s death (subject, however, to the following sentence).  If a Participant’s Separation From Service or death occurs before 2008, and the Participant’s benefit has not commenced as provided in Section 5.11(c), the lump-sum payment described in the preceding sentence shall be made on the first business day of January in 2008; provided that no such lump-sum payment paid as a result of a Separation From Service will be made earlier than the first day of the seventh month after the Participant’s Separation From Service.  A distribution under this Section 5.06 shall be made without regard to any payment election the Participant has made (or is deemed to have made) under Section 5.01 or Section 5.11.
 
5.07 
Disability Benefits .  Except as provided in Section 5.06 (automatic cash-out of small benefits), if a Participant suffers a Total Disability, the Participant’s benefit under the Plan shall commence or be paid, in the form the Participant elected (or is deemed to have elected), on the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s Total Disability or attainment of age 65.
 
5.08 
Payment of Death Benefits .
 
 
(a)
If a Participant dies before his benefit under the Plan has commenced, and the Participant would be eligible for a pre-pension survivor annuity under the Pension Plan if he died before his benefit commencement date, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive an annuity for the life of the Beneficiary, commencing on the first business day of the month following the later of (i) 90 days after the Participant’s death or (ii) the date on which the Participant would have reached age 55 (subject to Section 5.06 concerning the automatic cash-out of small benefits).  The Participant’s Beneficiary must be a person who would have been eligible to receive the corresponding pre-pension survivor annuity under the Pension Plan.

If a Participant dies less than 60 months after his benefit under the Plan has commenced, and the Participant would be eligible for a 60-month period certain death benefit under the Pension Plan if he died after his benefit commencement date, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive an amount equal to the present value of the corresponding monthly payments under the Plan for a number of months equal to 60 minus the number of monthly payments made to the Participant before his death, paid in a lump sum on the first business day of the first month that begins at least 90 days after the Participant’s death.
 
 
(d)
The amount of any pre-pension survivor annuity or death benefit shall be determined as provided in Section 3.04.  Any post-retirement death benefit under Section 5.08(c) shall be based solely on the portion of the Participant’s benefit that is payable as an annuity, and shall not include the value of any benefit the Participant has received as a lump sum.

5.09  
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 5.09.

5.10  
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 present value of all benefits earned or vested after 2004 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 5.10 shall not be made earlier than six months after the Participant’s Separation From Service.

5.11  
Change in Payment Election .  Any election of a time or form of payment under Article V, or any change in a prior election, is subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator.  If a Participant changes the time or form of payment previously elected, the new election must apply to the Participant’s entire benefit under the Plan that is earned or vested after 2004, and must comply with the following rules:

 
(a)
Election Between Life Annuities .   If another actuarially-equivalent life annuity (within the meaning of IRC Section 409A) is available to a Participant under Section 5.03(c), a Participant, at any time before the first annuity payment is made, may change his election from one life annuity to another actuarially-equivalent life annuity commencing at the same time.

 
(b)
Modification of Election .   If a Participant wishes to change the form of payment for his benefit or to elect a different Retirement Age, and the new election does not satisfy the requirements of subsection (a) (concerning elections between life annuities) or the transition rules in subsection (d) (concerning elections before December 31, 2007), the Participant’s new payment election must satisfy the requirements of this subsection (b).  A Participant may change his election under this subsection (b) only if the new election:

 
(1)
is made at least twelve months before the date when payment of the benefit would otherwise commence;

 
(2)
defers the date on which payment will commence by at least five years from the commencement date applicable to his previous election;

 
(3)
does not cause payments triggered by attainment of Retirement Age to commence at an age other than other than 55, 60, 62, 65, 67, or 70; and

 
(4)
does not cause payments triggered by Separation From Service to commence more than 5 years and seven months after Separation From Service.

If a Participant’s payments (before the new election) commence at the later of Retirement Age or six months after Separation From Service, the Participant may choose to apply the election of a new time of payment to only one of the two alternative payment events.

(c)
Distributions Before 2008 .  If a Participant’s Pension Plan benefit commences before 2008, the Participant’s benefit under the Plan that was earned or vested after 2004 shall be paid at the same time and in the same form as the Participant’s Pension Plan benefit, as provided under the Key Executive Plan and the Executive Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004.
 
 
(d)
One-Time Election During 2007 .   If a Participant’s Pension Plan benefit does not commence before 2008, the Participant may make a special election during 2007 to receive the benefit that is earned or vested after 2004 under one of the distribution options in Section 5.03.  The Participant may not make a new election under this subsection if the election would accelerate payment of the Participant’s benefit into the year of the new election.  If the Participant’s Pension Plan benefit commences after the date of the new election, but before 2008, the new election shall be ineffective and the Participant’s benefit shall be paid as provided in subsection (c), above.  An election under this subsection shall be made in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, and the Plan Administrator may impose conditions in addition to those described in this subsection (d) (such as a requirement that a Participant who participates in more than one nonqualified defined benefit plan elect the same annuity form of payment under all plans); but the election shall not be required to comply with the requirements of subsection (b), above (concerning changes in payment elections) or Section 5.02 (concerning spousal consent).  The Plan Administrator may also allow an employee who is not yet a Participant, but who might become a Participant in the future, to elect a distribution option under this subsection (d) for any benefit the employee might later earn under this Plan.  An employee shall not have a right to receive any benefit under the Plan until he becomes a Participant, even if the employee has previously filed an election designating the time and form of payment for any benefit he might earn if he becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.

5.12  
Rehired Participants .  If a Participant has a Separation From Service and is later rehired by a Textron Company, the following rules shall apply:

 
(a)
If the Participant had not earned a vested benefit under the Plan at the time of his first Separation From Service, but the Participant returns to service with a Textron Company and earns a vested benefit after his return to service, the Participant’s benefit under the Plan shall be paid as provided in the Plan upon his death, Total Disability, or subsequent Separation From Service, ignoring (for purposes of determining the time and form of payment of his benefit) his first Separation From Service.

(b)
If the Participant had earned a vested benefit under the Plan at the time of his first Separation From Service, the vested benefit that the Participant had earned at the time of his first Separation From Service shall be paid at the same time and in the same form that would have applied if the Participant had not returned to service.  Any additional vested benefit that the Participant earns after his return to service shall be paid as provided in the Plan upon his death, Total Disability, or subsequent Separation From Service, ignoring (for purposes of determining the time and form of payment of his additional vested benefit) his first Separation From Service.

 
(c)
The break-in-service rules and other terms of the Pension Plan shall determine to what extent (if at all) any service or compensation the Participant had earned at the time of his first Separation From Service is forfeited or is taken into account in calculating the amount of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan after his return to service.

 
(d)
A Participant’s compensation and service after his rehire date shall be disregarded under this Plan for a Participant who separates from service at any time and who is rehired by a Textron Company after December 31, 2009, except to the extent such compensation or service is taken into account under the terms of the Pension Plan.

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”).

Article VII – Plan Administration
 
7.01  
Plan Administrator’s Powers .  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 7.06, any actions 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.  The Board may exercise Textron’s authority as plan administrator, and the authority to administer the Plan may be delegated as provided in Section 7.02.

7.02
Delegation of Administrative Authority .  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to administer the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board or officer of Textron to make a further delegation of the authority to administer the Plan.

7.03
Tax Withholding .  Textron may withhold from benefits paid under this Plan any taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld.  Textron may deduct from the undistributed portion of a Participant’s benefit any employment tax that Textron reasonably determines to be due with respect to the benefit under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), and an amount sufficient to pay the income tax withholding related to such FICA tax.  Alternatively, Textron may require the Participant or Beneficiary to remit to Textron or its designee an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, and local income and employment tax with respect to the Participant’s benefit.  The Participant or Beneficiary shall remain responsible at all times for paying any federal, state, or local income or employment tax with respect to any benefit under this Plan.  In no event shall Textron or any employee or agent of Textron be liable for any interest or penalty that a Participant or Beneficiary incurs by failing to make timely payments of tax.

7.04
Use of Third Parties to Assist with Plan Administration .  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 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.

(d)
Review of Initial Determination .  Within 60 days after Textron receives a request for review, it will review the initial determination.  If special circumstances require that the 60-day time period be extended, Textron will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.

 
(e)

7.01  
Enforcement 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 Section 1.03 shall be liable, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Participant or Beneficiary for the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred during the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s lifetime in pursuing any such claim or litigation, and to pay prejudgment interest at the Prime Rate as quoted in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on any money award or judgment obtained by the Participant or Beneficiary, payable at the same time as the underlying award or judgment.  Any reimbursement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Participant no earlier than six months after the Participant’s Separation From Service, and shall be paid to the Participant or Beneficiary no later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the expense was incurred.  The reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and the amount of reimbursable expense incurred in one year shall not affect the amount of reimbursement available in another year.
 
Article VIII – Amendment and Termination

Amendment .  Subject to subsections (a) and (b), below, the Board or its designee shall have the right to amend, modify, or suspend this Plan at any time by written resolution or other formal action reflected in writing.

Pension Plan applies to a broad cross-section of participants in the Pension Plan, and not only or primarily to Participants in this Plan.
 
8.02 
Delegation of Amendment Authority .  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to amend the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board to make a further delegation of the authority to amend the Plan.

8.03

8.04 
Distributions Upon Plan Termination .  Upon the termination of the Plan by the Board with respect to all Participants, and termination of all arrangements sponsored by any Textron Company that would be aggregated with the Plan under IRC Section 409A, Textron shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant, to pay the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s vested benefit in a lump sum, to the extent permitted under IRC Section 409A.  All payments that may be made pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall be made no earlier than the thirteenth month and no later than the twenty-fourth month after the termination of the Plan.  Textron may not accelerate payments pursuant to this Section 8.04 if the termination of the Plan is proximate to a downturn in Textron’s financial health.  If Textron exercises its discretion to accelerate payments under this Section 8.04, it shall not adopt any new arrangement that would have been aggregated with the Plan under IRC Section 409A within three years following the date of the Plan’s termination.

Texton Spillover Pension Plan
Amended and Restated January 3, 2010
 
Page 20
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
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, and (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.

 
(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 Textron, 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.
 
Following a Change in Control, no amendment, modification, or suspension shall be made that directly or indirectly reduces any right or benefit provided upon a Change in Control.
 
9.03  
Section 409A Compliance .  The Plan is intended to comply with IRC Section 409A and should be interpreted accordingly.  Any distribution election that would not comply with IRC Section 409A is not effective.  To the extent that a provision of this Plan does not comply with IRC Section 409A, such provision shall be void and without effect.  Textron does not warrant that the Plan will comply with IRC Section 409A with respect to any Participant or with respect to any payment, however.  In no event shall any Textron Company; any director, officer, or employee of a Textron Company (other than the Participant); or any member of Textron be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant or Beneficiary as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy the requirements of IRC Section 409A, or as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy any other requirements of applicable tax laws.

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.

Textron Spillover Pension Plan
Appendix A — Key Executive Plan

 
Introduction
 
A.
Key Executive Plan
(As In Effect Before 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.
Textron Spillover Pension Plan
(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.
Key Executive Protected Benefits
(Earned and Vested Before 2005)
 
The portion of Appendix A that follows this Introduction sets forth the defined benefit 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.  Key executives’ supplemental pension 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 Pension 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
 
 
 
 
Texton Spillover Pension Plan
Amended and Restated January 3, 2010
Appendix A

any adverse tax consequence suffered by a Participant or beneficiary if a Key Executive Protected Benefit becomes subject to Section 409A.

D.
Benefits Subject To Section 409A
(Earned or Vested From 2005 Through 2007)
 
Supplemental pension benefits earned by key executives after 2004, and supplemental pension 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, 2007, the benefits shall be calculated under the provisions of the Key Executive Plan set forth in this Appendix A, using the benefit formulas in the Pension Plans as in effect before 2007, modified as provided in 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 Pension Plan (not including any appendix to the Textron Spillover Pension 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 Pension Plan generally are effective as of January 1, 2007, 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.
 
Key Executive Plan

The text that follows sets forth the defined benefit provisions of the Key Executive Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004.  The defined terms in Appendix A relate only to the provisions set forth in Appendix A: they do not apply to any other provisions of the Textron Spillover Pension Plan, and terms defined elsewhere in the Textron Spillover Pension Plan do not apply to Appendix A.  No additional benefits shall accrue under Appendix A after 2006.

Supplemental Retirement Plan
for Textron Key Executives
 
As Amended and Restated
 
Effective January 3, 2010
 

 

Introduction

The Supplemental Retirement Plan for Textron Key Executives (the “Plan”) is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement.  The Plan provides supplemental retirement benefits for designated Key Executives of Textron and its affiliates.  The Plan has been amended from time to time since the previous restatement.  This restatement of the Plan reflects all amendments that are effective through the date of this restatement.
 
Appendix A of the Plan sets forth the provisions of the 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 retirement benefits that were earned and vested (within the meaning of IRC Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increase that is permitted to be included in these amounts under IRC Section 409A, are calculated and paid solely as provided in Appendix A, and are not subject to any other provisions of the Supplemental Retirement Plan for Textron Key Executives.
 
Supplemental retirement benefits that were earned or vested after 2004 and before January 1, 2008, are subject to the provisions of IRC Section 409A.  These s upplemental retirement benefits are paid exclusively as provided in the Supplemental Retirement Plan for Textron Key Executives (not including any appendix to the Plan).  Although the provisions of the Supplemental Retirement Plan for Textron Key Executives generally are effective as of January 1, 2009, the provisions that govern the distribution of benefits earned or vested after 2004 under the Plan are effective as of January 1, 2005, and the amended definition of “Compensation” is effective as of January 1, 2007.

1.04

(1)
becomes (other than by acquisition from Textron or a related company) the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of stock of Textron that, together with other stock held by such person or group, possesses more than 50% of the combined voting power of Textron’s then-outstanding voting stock, or

(b)
For any individual who participated in the Plan before 2007, Compensation for each year before 2007 shall be determined under Section 1.04 of Appendix A.

 
(c)
If a year before 2007 is included in the Participant’s Compensation Base under the Plan, and the Participant did not participate in the Plan before 2007, Compensation for that year shall be determined as provided in Section 1.05(a), above.

Article II—Benefit

2.01  
Target Benefit .  Subject to Sections 2.02 and 2.03, the maximum benefit provided to a Participant who qualifies for benefits under this Plan is an annuity commencing upon Separation From Service or Total Disability equal to 50% of Average Compensation (the “Target Benefit”) less the offsets and adjusted by the Early Retirement Factors as set out below.
 
2.02  
Reductions in Target Benefit .
 
 
(a)
Prior Employers’ Plans .  The Target Benefit shall be reduced by the monthly amount of any tax-qualified or nonqualified defined benefit payable to the Participant as a single life annuity at age 65 from a plan or arrangement sponsored by a prior employer other than a Textron Company.  The monthly benefit payable under a prior employer plan shall be converted, if necessary, to a single life annuity commencing at age 65, using the actuarial assumptions or factors specified in the prior employer plan (or, if no conversion basis is available from the prior employer, using comparable actuarial assumptions or factors from Addendum A of the Textron Master Retirement Plan).  It shall be the obligation of each Participant to disclose to Textron, before the Participant’s Separation

From Service, any amounts that might be used under this section to reduce the benefits provided by this Plan.  Such disclosure shall include information on annuity payments and lump-sum cash payments from other plans.
 
 
(b)
Early Retirement Factors.   The net Target Benefit after reduction for benefits provided under any prior employer plans shall then be multiplied by the Early Retirement Factor as set out in Section 2.03 below.
 
 
(c)
Pension Plans.   The product of the net Target Benefit times the Early Retirement Factor shall then be reduced by any and all amounts payable to the Participant upon Separation From Service or Total Disability under any qualified or nonqualified Pension Plan.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the calculation shall be performed assuming that all benefits under this Plan and under any qualified or nonqualified Pension Plan commence on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Separation From Service or Total Disability, even if the commencement of the benefit is delayed by the Participant’s election or by the terms of the plan.  The reduction shall be based on a benefit under each Pension Plan that is payable in the same form as the Participant’s Normal Form of benefit under this Plan; and the benefit under each Pension Plan shall be converted to that form and, if applicable, reduced for early commencement based on the actuarial assumptions and factors used in the Pension Plan.  In the case of any Pension Plan that is part of the Textron Retirement Program, which is a tax-qualified floor-offset arrangement, the reduction in the net Target Benefit under this Plan shall be determined without taking into account any offset in the Pension Plan benefit for the value of the Participant’s account under the Textron Inc. Retirement Account Plan.
 
2.03 
Early Retirement Factors .  The Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be based on the Participant’s age at Separation From Service, Total Disability, or death, in accordance with the following schedule:

       Less Than 60 0%

The Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board shall, in its sole discretion, have the authority to provide a Participant with an enhanced benefit pursuant to a separate written agreement.
 
2.04  
Payment of Benefits .
 
 
(a)
Benefit Commencement Date .  Any benefit to which a Participant is entitled under the Plan shall be paid in the Normal Form of Benefit, or in an actuarially equivalent life annuity elected by the Participant pursuant to subsection (e), below.  The Participant’s benefit shall be calculated as if it commenced on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Separation From Service or Total Disability.
 
 
(b)
Six-Month Delay .  In the case of a benefit payable upon Separation From Service, the benefit shall commence on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation From Service, and any monthly payments that would have been due during the intervening six months shall be paid in a lump sum, without interest, on the first day of the seventh month after the Participant’s Separation From Service.  The Participant may designate a Beneficiary to receive the payments for the months before the Participant’s death in the event of the Participant’s death after Separation From Service and before the expiration of the six-month delay.
 
 
(c)
Disability Benefits .  In the case of a benefit payable upon Total Disability, the benefit shall commence on the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s Total Disability or attainment of age 65.
 
 
(d)
Form of Payment .  Any form of benefit payable other than the Normal Form of Benefit shall be the actuarial equivalent of the Normal Form of Benefit, calculated using the actuarial assumptions and factors in the Textron Master Retirement Plan.  For any individual who becomes a Participant after July 23, 1998, benefit payments under the Plan will be reduced if the Participant elects a 50%, 75%, or 100% joint and survivor benefit or joint and surviving spouse benefit.  The joint and survivor factors are the same factors provided by Addendum A of the Textron Master Retirement Plan.
 
 
(e)
Payment Election .  A Participant who wishes to elect a form of payment other than the Normal Form of Benefit must complete and return a written distribution election form acceptable to Textron before the Participant’s Separation From Service or Total Disability.  Subject to the spousal consent requirement in subsection (f), below, the Participant may elect any actuarially equivalent life annuity (within the meaning of IRC Section 409A) that is available under Addendum A of the Textron Master

Retirement Plan at the Participant’s benefit commencement date under this Plan, regardless of whether the Participant participates in Addendum A or elects the same form of payment under Addendum A.
 
 
(f)
Spousal Consent .  For any individual who becomes a Participant after July 23, 1998, if the Participant is married when he or she makes a distribution election (including a change in a prior distribution election), the Participant must have the written consent of his or her spouse in order to elect any form of payment other than a joint and 50% surviving spouse annuity.  If the Participant marries or re-marries after the date of the distribution election, the Participant shall automatically receive an actuarially equivalent joint and 50% surviving spouse annuity unless his or her current spouse consents in writing to a different form of distribution.
 
 
(g)
Spillover Pension Plan .
 
 
(i)
If a Participant in this Plan is entitled to receive a retirement benefit or pre-pension surviving spouse annuity under the Textron Spillover Pension Plan or any other nonqualified Pension Plan that would be subtracted from the Participant’s benefit under Section 2.02(c) of this Plan, the amount of the benefit shall be calculated under the Textron Spillover Pension Plan (or other nonqualified Pension Plan), but the benefit shall be paid exclusively at the time and in the form provided under this Plan, as if the other plan’s benefit were part of the Participant’s benefit under this Plan.  The preceding sentence shall apply even if the Participant is not otherwise eligible to receive any retirement benefit or pre-pension surviving spouse annuity under this Plan (for example, because he retired before his benefit under this Plan vested or because his benefit under this Plan is fully offset by his Pension Plan benefits).
 
 
(ii)
If a Participant’s Separation From Service, Total Disability, or death occurs before the earliest date on which he would be entitled to a benefit under this Plan, his retirement benefit under the Textron Spillover Pension Plan or other nonqualified Pension Plan shall commence on the Participant’s earliest retirement date under this Plan, as if he had retired on that date.  In the case of a Separation From Service, the retirement benefit under the Textron Spillover Pension Plan or other nonqualified Pension Plan shall be subject to the six-month delay in subsection (b).  The retirement benefit under the Textron Spillover Pension Plan or other nonqualified Pension Plan shall be actuarially adjusted, using the actuarial assumptions and factors in the other plan, to reflect the actual commencement date under this Plan.

(iii)
If a Participant is entitled to a death benefit or other benefit under the Textron Spillover Pension Plan or other nonqualified Pension Plan that is not provided under this Plan and that would not in any circumstance be subtracted from the Participant’s benefit under Section 2.02(c) of this Plan, the benefit shall be paid as provided in the Textron Spillover Pension Plan or other nonqualified Pension Plan.
 
2.05  
Pre-Pension Surviving Spouse Annuity .  If a Participant dies after age 60 and prior to benefit commencement under this Plan, the Participant’s Surviving Spouse will receive an annuity equal to the amount the spouse would have received if the Participant had requested a joint and 50% surviving spouse annuity and had retired the day before he died.  The pre-pension surviving spouse annuity payable under this section shall commence on the first business day of the first month that begins at least 90 days after the Participant’s death.
 
2.06  
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 2.06.
 
2.07  
Distribution Upon Change in Control .

 
(a)
Benefit Enhancement .  If the Participant’s Separation From Service, Total Disability, or death occurs after a Change in Control, the Participant shall, in lieu of the benefit payable under the preceding sections of this Article II, receive a benefit equal to the actuarial present value at Separation From Service, Total Disability, or death of the benefit the Participant would have received had the Participant terminated employment at age 65, based upon the Participant’s Average Compensation as of the date of Separation From Service, Total Disability, or death.  The present value shall be determined using the 1994 Group Annuity Reserving Table (unisex) based on a blend of 50% of the male mortality rates and 50% of the female mortality rates and an interest rate of 7%.  Any pre-pension surviving spouse annuity or pre-pension survivor annuity payable upon the Participant’s death after a Change in Control shall be based on the Participant’s enhanced benefit calculated under this subsection.

(b)
Distribution .  If the Participant’s Separation From Service, Total Disability, or death occurs within 24 months after the Change in Control, and if the Change in Control also qualifies as a “change in control” under IRC Section 409A, the enhanced benefit shall be paid in a lump sum.  If the Participant’s Separation From Service, Total Disability, or death occurs more than 24 months after the Change in Control, or if the Change in Control does not qualify as a “change in control” under IRC Section 409A, the enhanced benefit shall be paid in the Normal Form or as an actuarially equivalent life annuity elected by the Participant.  In either case, the enhanced benefit shall commence (or, in the case of a lump sum, shall be paid) on the applicable benefit commencement date specified in Section 2.04 or Section 2.05.

Article III—Unfunded Plan
 
3.01  
No Plan Assets .  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 Surviving Spouses or Beneficiaries shall have any ownership rights in such policies of insurance.
 
3.02  
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”).
 
3.03  
No Contributions .  No Participant shall be required or permitted to make contributions to this Plan.
 
Article IV—Plan Administration
 
4.01  
Plan Administrator’s Powers .  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 4.06, any actions 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.  The Board may exercise Textron’s authority as plan administrator, and the authority to administer the Plan may be delegated as provided in Section 4.02.  The Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board shall render all decisions under this Plan (including participation, Plan benefits, and benefit distributions) affecting Textron’s Chief Executive Officer.
 
4.02
Delegation of Administrative Authority .  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of the authority to administer the Plan to a committee of the Board or to one or more officers of Textron.  The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize a committee of the Board or officer of Textron to make a further delegation of the authority to administer the Plan.
 
4.03  
Tax Withholding .  Textron may withhold from benefits paid under this Plan any taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld.  Textron may deduct from the undistributed portion of a Participant’s benefit any employment tax that Textron reasonably determines to be due with respect to the benefit under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), and an amount sufficient to pay the income tax withholding related to such FICA tax.  Alternatively, Textron may require the Participant or Beneficiary to remit to Textron or its designee an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, and local income and employment tax with respect to the Participant’s benefit.  The Participant or Beneficiary shall remain responsible at all times for paying any federal, state, or local income or employment tax with respect to any benefit under this Plan.  In no event shall Textron or any employee or agent of Textron be liable for any interest or penalty that a Participant or Beneficiary incurs by failing to make timely payments of tax.
 
4.04 
Use of Third Parties to Assist with Plan Administration .  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 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.
 
4.05 
Proof of Right to Receive Benefits .  Textron may require proof of death or Total Disability of any Participant, former Participant, Surviving Spouse, or Beneficiary and evidence of the right of any person to receive any Plan benefit.

(d)

Supplemental Retirement Plan for Textron Key Executives
Amended and Restated January 3, 2010
 
Page 14
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
domestic relations order does not purport to give the alternate payee any right to assets of any Textron Company, and (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.
 
 
(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 Textron, 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, Surviving Spouse, or Beneficiary.

6.03  
Section 409A Compliance .  The Plan is intended to comply with IRC Section 409A and should be interpreted accordingly.  Any distribution election that would not comply with IRC Section 409A is not effective.  To the extent that a provision of this Plan does not comply with IRC Section 409A, such provision shall be void and without effect.  Textron does not warrant that the Plan will comply with IRC Section 409A with respect to any Participant or with respect to any payment, however.  In no event shall any Textron Company; any director, officer, or employee of a Textron Company (other than the Participant); or any member of Textron be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant or Beneficiary as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy the requirements of IRC Section 409A, or as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy any other requirements of applicable tax laws.

6.04  
Controlling State Law .  This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

6.05  
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.

Supplemental Retirement Plan
for Textron Key Executives
Appendix A — Prior Plan Provisions

 
Introduction

The Supplemental Retirement Plan for Textron Key Executives (the “Plan”) is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement.  The Plan provides supplemental retirement benefits for designated Key Executives of Textron and its affiliates.  The Plan was amended and restated, effective as of January 1, 2008, to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”).  This restatement of the Plan reflects all amendments that were effective through January 3, 2010.
 
A.
Key Executive Protected Benefits
(Earned and Vested Before 2005)
 
The portion of Appendix A that follows this Introduction sets forth the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, when IRC Section 409A was enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  Key Executives’ s upplemental retirement benefits that were earned and vested (within the meaning of IRC Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increase that is permitted to be included in these amounts under IRC 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 Supplemental Retirement Plan for Textron Key Executives.
 
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 IRC 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 IRC Section 409A.  Although the Key Executive Protected Benefits are not intended to be subject to IRC 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, Surviving Spouse, or Beneficiary if a Key Executive Protected Benefit becomes subject to IRC Section 409A.

B.
Benefits Subject To Section 409A
(Earned or Vested From 2005 Through 2007)
 
Supplemental retirement benefits that were earned by Key Executives after 2004, and Supplemental retirement 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 Plan before January 1, 2008, the benefits shall be calculated under the prior Plan

The Target Benefit shall be reduced by any nonqualified or qualified pension plan benefits payable at age 65 from a prior employer other than a Textron employer.  The reduction for any prior employer plans shall be the actuarial equivalent of a life annuity.  The net Target Benefit after reduction for any prior employer plans shall then be multiplied by the Early Retirement Factor as set out in Section 2.03 below.  The product of the net Target Benefit times the Early Retirement Factor shall then be reduced by any and all amounts payable to the Participant at the time of retirement under any qualified or nonqualified Pension Plan.  The reduction for all Pension Plans shall be a Normal Form of Benefit based on the tables in the Pension Plan.  It shall be the obligation of each Participant to disclose to Textron any amounts that might be used under this section to reduce the benefits provided by this Plan.  Such disclosure shall include information on annuity payments and lump-sum cash payments from other plans.
 
2.03
The Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be based on the Participant’s age at retirement (including death or disability) in accordance with the following schedule:
 
  Age at Retirement 
Early Retirement Factors
      65                            100%
   
       64 90
   
       63                                      80
   
       62                                       70
   
       61                                        60

The Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board shall, in its sole discretion, have the authority to provide a Participant with an enhanced benefit.
 
2.04
The Normal Form of Benefit shall be a life annuity unless the Participant was designated a Participant in this Plan prior to July 23, 1998, in which case the Normal Form of Benefit shall be a Joint and 50% Survivor annuity.  The payment of any benefit under Section 2.01 shall be paid in the Normal Form of Benefit or otherwise as determined by Textron’s Chief Executive Officer in his sole discretion after considering any form of payment requested by the Participant, Surviving Spouse, or other Beneficiary entitled to receive the benefits.  Any form of benefit payable other than the Normal Form shall be the actuarial equivalent of the Normal Form using the factors in the Textron Master Retirement Plan.  For any individual who becomes a Participant after July 23, 1998, their benefit payments will be reduced if they elect a 50% or a 100% Joint and Survivor Benefit.  The Joint and Survivor factors are the same factors provided by the Textron Master Retirement Plan.
 
2.05
If a Participant dies after age 60 and prior to benefit commencement under this Plan, the Participant’s Surviving Spouse will receive an annuity equal to the amount the Spouse would have received assuming the Participant had requested a Joint and 50% Survivor annuity and retired the day before he died.
 
Article III—Unfunded Plan
 
3.01
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.
 
3.02
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”).
 
3.03
No Participant shall be required or permitted to make contributions to this Plan.

(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 Textron, 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, Surviving Spouse, or Beneficiary.

5.05
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 for the Participant’s or beneficiary’s reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred in any such claim or litigation and for prejudgment interest at the Bankers Trust Company prime interest rate on any money award or judgment obtained by the Participant or beneficiary.  In the event that the Participant retires or his employment otherwise terminates at any time after a “Change in Control” as defined below, the Participant shall, in lieu of the benefit payable under Article II, receive a benefit equal to the actuarial present value at termination of the benefit the Participant would have received had the Participant terminated employment at age 65, based upon the Participant’s Average Compensation as of the date of her termination.  If the Participant terminates within 24 months after the Change in Control, such benefit shall be paid in a lump sum.  If the Participant terminates more than 24 months after the Change in Control, then the Participant shall be paid in an annuity.  Textron shall select the discount rate and mortality table to be used in determining the actuarial present values.
 
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

ARTICLE V – BENEFICIARIES

5.01
A Participant may designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive a Survivor Benefit payable on the Participant’s death.  A Beneficiary may designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive any unpaid balance of a Survivor Benefit, to the extent this designation does not contravene any designation filed by the deceased Participant through whom the Beneficiary himself claims under this Plan.  Beneficiaries shall be designated only upon forms made available by or satisfactory to Textron and filed by the Participant or Beneficiary with Textron or its designee.

5.02
A Participant or Beneficiary may change her own designation of Beneficiary by filing a substitute designation of Beneficiary with Textron.

5.03
In the absence of an effective designation of Beneficiary, or if all persons so designated shall have predeceased the Participant/Beneficiary or shall have died before the complete distribution of Plan benefits, the balance of Plan benefits shall be paid to the Participant/ Beneficiary’s surviving spouse or, if none, to the Participant/Beneficiary’s issue per stirpes or, if no issue, to the executor or administrator of the Participant/Beneficiary’s estate.

5.04
If a Participant’s Base Salary or a Survivor Benefit is community property, any designation of Beneficiary shall be valid or effective only as permitted under applicable law.

5.05
If a Survivor Benefit is payable to a minor or person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property, Textron may pay such Survivor Benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person.  Textron may require proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as it deems appropriate prior to distribution of the Survivor Benefit.  Such distribution shall completely discharge any Textron Company from all liability with respect to such benefit.

ARTICLE VI – UNFUNDED PLAN

6.01
Benefits to be provided under this Plan are unfunded obligations of Textron.  Before a Change in Control occurs, 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, then such individual policies

The voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the classes of stock of the Corporation which are fixed by this Certificate of Incorporation, and the authority vested in the Board of Directors to fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of Preferred Stock the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of Preferred Stock which are not fixed by this Certificate of Incorporation are as follows:

(a)      The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series of any number of shares; provided that the aggregate number of shares issued and not canceled of any and all such series shall not exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock hereinabove authorized. Each series of Preferred Stock shall be distinctively designated by letter or descriptive words. All series of Preferred Stock shall rank equally and be identical in all respects except as permitted by the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (f) of this Article FOURTH.

(b)      Authority is hereby vested in the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock as Preferred Stock of any series and in connection with the creation of each such series to fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of shares thereof the voting powers, if any, the designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of such series to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by this Certificate of Incorporation and the laws of the State of Delaware, in respect of the matters set forth in the following subparagraphs (1) to (8), inclusive:

(1)      The distinctive designation of such series and the number of shares which shall constitute such series, which number may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) from time to time by action of the Board of Directors;

(2)      The dividend rate of such series, any preferences to or provisions in relation to the dividends payable on any other class or classes or of any other series of stock, and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on the payment of dividends;

(3)      The price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions on which, the shares of such series may be redeemed by the Corporation;

 
4

 
(4)      The amount or amounts payable upon the shares of such series in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

(5)      Whether or not the shares of such series shall be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of shares of such series and, if so entitled, the amount of such fund and the manner of its application;

(6)      Whether or not the shares of such series shall be made convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation or shares of any other series of Preferred Stock, and, if made so convertible or exchangeable, the conversion price or prices, or the rate or rates of exchange, and the adjustments thereof, if any, at which such conversion or exchange may be made, and any other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

(7)      Whether or not the shares of such series shall have any voting powers and, if voting powers are so granted, the extent of such voting powers; and

(8)      Whether or not the issue of any additional shares of such series or of any future series in addition to such series shall be subject to restrictions in addition to the restrictions, if any, on the issue of additional shares imposed in the resolution or resolutions fixing the terms of and outstanding series of Preferred Stock theretofore issued pursuant to this Article FOURTH and, if subject to additional restrictions, the extent of such additional restrictions.

(c)      The holders of Preferred Stock of each series shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate for such series fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in paragraph (b) of this Article FOURTH, and no more, payable quarterly on the first days of January, April, July and October or of such other months as may be designated by the Board of Directors (each of the quarterly periods ending on the first day of January, April, July and October in each year, or on the first days of such other months, respectively, being hereinafter called a dividend period), in each case from the date of cumulation (as defined in paragraph (h) of this Article FOURTH) of such series. Except as may otherwise be provided in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of any given series of Preferred Stock, dividends on Preferred Stock shall be cumulative (whether or not there shall be net profits or net assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends), so that, if at any time full cumulative dividends (as defined in paragraph (h) of this Article FOURTH) upon the Preferred Stock of all series to the end of the last completed dividend period shall not have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart, the amount of the deficiency shall be fully paid, but without interest, or dividends in such amount shall have been declared on each such series and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof shall have been set apart for such payment, before any sum or sums shall be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption of Preferred Stock of any series (either pursuant to any applicable sinking fund provisions or any redemptions authorized pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Article FOURTH or otherwise) or set aside for or applied to the purchase of Common Stock and before any dividend shall be declared or paid or any other distribution ordered or made upon the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock); provided, however, that any moneys deposited in the sinking fund provided for any series of Preferred Stock in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of shares of said series, in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund and of this paragraph (c), may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of Preferred

Stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund whether or not at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon the outstanding Preferred Stock of all series to the end of the last completed dividend period shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. All dividends declared upon the Preferred Stock of the respective series outstanding shall be declared pro rata, so that the amounts of dividends declared per share on the Preferred Stock of different series shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the shares of such respective series bear to each other.

(d)      Before any sum or sums shall be set aside for or applied to the purchase of Common Stock and before any dividends shall be declared or paid or any distribution ordered or made upon the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock), the Corporation shall comply with the sinking fund provisions, if any, of any resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock any shares of which shall at the time be outstanding.

(e)      Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Article FOURTH, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled, to the exclusion of the holders of Preferred Stock of any and all series, to receive such dividends as from time to time may be declared by the Board of Directors.

(f)      In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Preferred Stock of each series then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock, an amount determined as provided in paragraph (b) of this Article FOURTH for every share of their holdings of Preferred Stock of such series. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of Preferred Stock of all series the full account to which they respectively shall be entitled, the holders of Preferred Stock of all series shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to Preferred Stock of all series were paid in full. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment shall have been made to the holders of Preferred Stock of the full amount to which they shall be entitled as aforesaid, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled, to the exclusion of the holders of Preferred Stock of any and all series, to share, ratably according to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them, in all remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders. Neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another corporation nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Corporation, nor the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (f), it may be provided as to anyone or more series of Preferred Stock that upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the shares of such series shall not have any preference, other than to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to accrued dividends [as defined in paragraph (h) hereof] and thereafter to share ratably with the holders of Common Stock (and any other class or series having a similar right) in all distributions of assets as they would have shared if all of the shares of such series had been converted into Common Stock immediately before such distribution or to share, in such event, upon such other terms and conditions as may be provided.

(g)      Subject to any requirements which may be applicable to the redemption of any given series of Preferred Stock as provided in any resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series of Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock of all series, or of any series thereof, or any part of any series thereof, at any time outstanding, may be redeemed by the Corporation, at its election expressed by resolution of the Board of Directors, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 days, but not more than 90 days, previous notice to the holders of record of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, given by mail in such manner as may be prescribed by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors:

(1)      if such redemption shall be otherwise than by the application of moneys in any sinking fund referred to in paragraph (d) of this Article FOURTH, at the redemption price, fixed as provided in paragraph (b) of this Article FOURTH, at which shares of Preferred Stock of the particular series may then be redeemed at the option of the Corporation and
 
 
(2)   if such redemption shall be by the application of moneys in any sinking fund referred to in paragraph (d) of this Article FOURTH, at the redemption price, fixed as provided in paragraph (b) of this Article FOURTH, at which shares of Preferred Stock of the particular series may then be redeemed for such sinking fund;

provided, however , that, before any Preferred Stock of any series shall be redeemed at said redemption price thereof specified in clause (I) of this paragraph (g), all moneys at the time in the sinking fund, if any, for Preferred Stock of that series shall first be applied, as nearly as may be, to the purchase or redemption of Preferred Stock of that series as provided in the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for such sinking fund. If less than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of any series are to be redeemed, the redemption may be made either by lot or pro rata in such manner as may be prescribed by resolution of the Board of Directors. The Corporation may, if it shall so elect, provide moneys for the payment of the redemption price by depositing the amount thereof for the account of the holders of Preferred Stock entitled thereto with a bank or trust company doing business in the City of New York, in the State of New York, and having capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000. The date upon which such deposit may be made by the Corporation (hereinafter called the "date of deposit") shall be prior to the date fixed as the date of redemption. In any such case there shall be included in the notice of redemption a statement of the date of deposit and of the name and address of the bank or trust company with which the deposit has been or will be made. On and after the date fixed in any such notice of redemption as the date of redemption (unless default shall be made by the Corporation in providing moneys for the payment of the redemption price pursuant to such notice) or, if the Corporation shall have made such deposit on or before the date specified therefor in the notice, then on and after the date of deposit all rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed as stockholders of the Corporation, except the right to receive the redemption price as hereinafter provided and, in the case of such deposit, any conversion rights not theretofore expired, shall cease and terminate. Such conversion rights, however, in any event shall cease and terminate upon the date fixed for redemption or upon any earlier date fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Article FOURTH for termination of such conversion rights. Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, said redemption price shall include an amount equal to accrued dividends on the Preferred Stock to be redeemed to the date fixed for the redemption thereof and the Corporation shall not be required to declare or pay on such Preferred Stock to be redeemed, and the holders thereof shall not be entitled to receive, any dividends in addition to those thus included in the
 
 
7

 
redemption price; provided, however , that the Corporation may pay in regular course any dividends thus included in the redemption price either to the holders of record on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend (in which event, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the amount so deposited need not include any dividends so paid or to be paid) or as a part of the redemption price upon surrender of the certificates for the shares redeemed. At any time on or after the date fixed as aforesaid for such redemption or, if the Corporation shall elect to deposit the moneys for such redemption as herein provided, then at any time on or after the date of deposit and without awaiting the date fixed as aforesaid for such redemption, the respective holders of record of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be entitled to receive the redemption price upon actual delivery to the Corporation, or, in the event of such deposit, to the bank or trust company with which such deposit shall be made, of certificates for the shares to be redeemed, such certificates, if required, to be properly stamped for transfer and duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and transfer thereof duly executed in blank. Any moneys so deposited which shall remain unclaimed by the holders of such Preferred Stock at the end of six years after the redemption date shall be paid by such bank or trust company to the Corporation and any interest accrued on moneys so deposited shall belong to the Corporation and shall be paid to it from time to time. Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (g) shall be canceled and shall thereafter have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

(h)      The term "date of cumulation" as used with reference to any series of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to mean the date fixed by the Board of Directors as the date of cumulation of such series at the time of the creation thereof or, if no date shall have been so fixed, the date on which shares of such series are first issued. Whenever used with reference to any share of any series of Preferred Stock, the term "full cumulative dividends" shall be deemed to mean (whether or not in any dividend period, or any part thereof, in respect of which such term is used there shall have been net profits or net assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends) that amount which shall be equal to dividends at the full rate fixed for such series as provided in paragraph (b) of this Article FOURTH for the period of time elapsed from the date of cumulation of such series to the date as of which full cumulative dividends are to be computed (including an amount equal to the dividend at such rate for any fraction of a dividend period included in such period of time); and the term "accrued dividends" shall be deemed to mean full cumulative dividends to the date as of which accrued dividends are to be computed, less the amount of all dividends paid, or deemed paid as hereinafter in this paragraph (h) provided, upon said share. In the event of the issue of additional shares of Preferred Stock of any series after the original issue of shares of Preferred Stock of such series, all dividends paid or accrued on Preferred Stock of such series prior to the date of issue of such additional Preferred Stock and all dividends declared and payable to holders of Preferred Stock of such series of record on any date prior to the issue of any such additional Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been paid on the additional Preferred Stock so issued.

(i)      No holder of stock of any class of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, shall have any preemptive, preferential or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or acquire any shares of any class or any other securities of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, and whether or not convertible into, or evidencing or carrying the right to purchase, shares of any class or any other securities now or hereafter authorized, and whether the same shall be issued for cash, services or property, or by way of dividend or otherwise.
 
 
8

 
(j)      Subject to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation and except as otherwise provided by law, the shares of stock of the Corporation, regardless of class, may be issued for such consideration and for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.
 
(k)      Except as otherwise provided by law, or this Certificate of Incorporation or by the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, as such holders, shall not have any right to vote, and are hereby specifically excluded from the right to vote, in the election of directors or for any other purpose. Except as aforesaid, the holders of Preferred Stock, as such holders, shall not be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders.

(l)      Subject to the provisions of any applicable law, or of the By-laws of the Corporation as from time to time amended, with respect to the closing of the transfer books or the fixing of a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote and except as otherwise provided by law, or by this Certificate of Incorporation or by the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall exclusively possess voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes, each holder of record of shares of Common Stock being entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.
 
SERIES C JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation be and it hereby is created, and that the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows:

(1) Designation and Amount.   The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock" ("Series C Stock") and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 2,000,000.

(2) Dividends and Distributions.

(A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series C Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series C Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first days of January, April, July and October in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series C Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, par value $.125 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with
 
 
 
9

 
respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series C Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after September 27, 1995 (the "Rights Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series C Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series C Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Series C Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series C Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series C Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series C Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

(3) Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series C Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series C Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series C Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(B) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of shares of Series C Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock entitled
 
 
10

 
to vote with the Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

(C) (i)      If at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors a default in preferred dividends (as hereinafter defined) shall exist, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class without regard to series (with each share of Preferred Stock being entitled to that number of votes to which it is entitled on matters submitted to stockholders generally, or, if it is not entitled to vote with respect to such matters, to one vote), shall have the right to elect two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote in the election of the two directors so to be elected by the holders of shares of Preferred Stock. Any director elected by the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, shall continue to serve as such director for the full term for which he shall have been elected notwithstanding that prior to the end of such term a default in preferred dividends shall cease to exist. If, prior to the end of the term of any director elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, a vacancy in the office of such director shall occur by reason of death, resignation, removal or disability, or for any other cause, such vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term in the manner provided in the By-laws of the Corporation, provided that, if such vacancy shall be filled by election by the stockholders at a meeting thereof, the right to fill such vacancy shall be vested in the holders of Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, unless, in any such case, no default in preferred dividends shall exist at the time of such election.

(ii)           For the purposes of paragraph (C) (i) of this Section 3, a default in preferred dividends shall be deemed to have occurred whenever the amount of dividends in arrears upon any series of Preferred Stock shall be equivalent to six full quarterly dividends or more and, having so occurred, such default in preferred dividends shall be deemed to exist thereafter until all accrued dividends on all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid to the end of the last preceding quarterly dividend period. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent an amendment of the By-laws of the Corporation, in the manner therein provided, which shall increase the number of directors so as to provide as additional places on the Board of Directors either or both the directorships to be filled by the two directors so to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock or to prevent any other change in the number of directors of the Corporation.

(D) Except as set forth herein or required by law, holders of Series C Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

(4) Certain Restrictions.

(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series C Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series C Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not

(i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series C Stock;

 
11

 
(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series C Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series C Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series C Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series C Stock;

(iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series C Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

(5) Reacquired Shares.   Any shares of Series C Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

(6) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.   (A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series C Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series C Stock shall have received $100.00 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series C Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series C Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series C Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock (which expression shall include, for the purposes only of this Section (6), any series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series C Liquidation Preference by (ii) 100 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in subparagraph (C) below to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii), the "Adjustment Number"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series C Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series C Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series C Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall
 
 
12

 
receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to one (I) with respect to such Series C Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

(B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series C Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series C Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

(C) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(7) Consolidation, Merger, etc.   In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series C Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series C Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(8) Redemption.   The shares of Series C Stock may be purchased by the Corporation at such times and on such terms as may be agreed to between the Corporation and the selling stockholder, subject to any limitations which may be imposed by law or this Certificate of Incorporation.

(9) Ranking.   The Series C Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series C Stock shall rank senior in accordance with Section (6) hereof to any series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

(10) Amendment.   The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or
 
 
13

 
special rights of the Series C Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding shares of Series C Stock, voting separately as a class.

(11) Fractional Shares.   Series C Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series C Stock.

SERIES D CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation be and it hereby is created, and that the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows:

(1) Designation and Amount.   The shares of such series shall be designated as Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series D") and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 3,000.

(2) Dividend Rate. The dividend rate of the shares of Series D shall be $5,920 per share per annum, cumulative (entitled to "full cumulative dividends," as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) from the date shares of Series D are first issued, payable quarterly on the first days of January, April, July and October in each year. Holders of shares of Series D shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of the "full cumulative dividends" at said rate.

(3) Optional Redemption.   On and after December 31, 2017, shares of Series D may be redeemed at the election of the Corporation or at the election of any holder of shares of Series D (with respect to Series D shares owned by such holder) in all cases at a price of $100,000 per share plus an amount equal to "accrued dividends" (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) (i) in the case of a redemption at the election of the Corporation, upon not less than 40 days' (but not more than 90 days') notice by the Corporation to the holders of Series D shares and subject to the terms and conditions specified in paragraph (g) of Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation or (ii) in the case of a redemption at the election of a holder of shares of Series D, upon not less than 40 days' (but not more than 90 days') notice by such holder to the Corporation, subject to any limitations which may be imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation.

(4) Rights on Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding Up.   In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series D then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an amount equal to $100,000 per share plus an amount equal to "accrued dividends" (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation).

14

 
(7) Voting.   Subject to the provisions of any applicable law, the holders of record of shares of Series D shall have no voting rights except as set forth in this paragraph (7) or in paragraph (9). If at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors a default in preferred dividends (as hereinafter defined), shall exist, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class without regard to series (with each share of Preferred Stock being entitled to one vote), shall have the right to elect two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote in the election of the two directors so to be elected by the holders of shares of Preferred Stock. Any director elected by the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, shall continue to serve as such director for the full term for which he shall have been elected notwithstanding that prior to the end of such term a default in preferred dividends shall cease to exist. If, prior to the end of the term of any director elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, a vacancy in the office of such director shall occur by reason of death, resignation, removal or disability, or for any other cause, such vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term in the manner provided in the By-laws of the Corporation, provided that, if such vacancy shall be filled by election by the stockholders at a meeting thereof, the right to fill such vacancy shall be vested in the holders of Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, unless, in any such case, no default in preferred dividends shall exist at the time of such election.

For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a default in preferred dividends shall be deemed to have occurred whenever the amount of dividends in arrears upon any series of Preferred Stock shall be equivalent to six full quarter-yearly dividends or more and, having so occurred, such default in preferred dividends shall be deemed to exist thereafter until all accrued dividends on all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid to the end of the last preceding quarterly dividend period. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent an amendment of the By-laws of the Corporation, in the manner therein provided, which shall increase the number of directors so as to provide as additional places on the Board of Directors either of or both the directorships to be filled by the two directors so to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock or to prevent any other change in the number of directors of the Corporation.

(8) Reacquired Shares.   Any shares of Series D which have been purchased, redeemed or otherwise reacquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever, shall upon compliance with any applicable provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of Series D or as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors.

(9) Restricted Activities.   (a) So long as any shares of Series D are outstanding, (A) without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of shares of Series D at the time outstanding given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, the Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal the preferences, special rights or other powers of the Series D shares so as to affect the rights of the holders of Series D shares adversely (and the authorization and issuance of any class of stock prior to the Series D shares as to dividend preference shall be deemed to affect the Series D shares adversely);

(B) without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, without regard to series, the Corporation will not (i) increase the authorized amount of Preferred Stock beyond
 
 
15

 
the 15,000,000 shares presently authorized or (ii) create any other class or classes of stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock as to dividend preference; and

(C) except as expressly set forth in division (B) of this subparagraph (a), nothing in this paragraph (9) shall be deemed to restrict the issuance of any additional shares of Series D or of any series of Preferred Stock which may be issued in the future.

(b)           For the purposes of this paragraph (9) any class or classes of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank,

(A) prior to the Series D shares as to dividends, if the holders of such class or classes shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends in preference or priority to the holders of the Series D shares; and

(B) on a parity with the Series D shares as to dividends whether or not the dividend rates or dividend payment dates thereof be different from those of Series D, if the holders of such class or classes of stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends in proportion to their respective dividend rates without preferences or priority one over the other as between the holders of such class or classes of stock and the holders of the Series D shares.

(10) Fractional Shares.   Series D may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series D.

FIFTH:   The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

SIXTH:   The private property of the stockholders of the Corporation shall not be subject to the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatsoever.

        SEVENTH:   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation to the contrary, no action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken by written consent without a meeting, except:

(a)  any action which may be taken solely upon the vote or consent of holders of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, or

(b)  any action taken upon the signing of a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, by all the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon.

EIGHTH:   The Board of Directors shall have power, without stockholder action:

If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article TWELFTH to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of each director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article TWELFTH nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of
 
 
21

 
Incorporation inconsistent with this Article TWELFTH shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article TWELFTH in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article TWELFTH, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE XII .
 
Indemnification.
 
(a) 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, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or  while a director, officer or employee of the Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (each such person being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(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 , suit  or proceeding 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 Indemnitee against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit  or proceeding  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, suit or proceeding 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) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to a proceeding to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article XII, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee under this Article XII in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

(d) To the extent that an Indemnitee 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, or in any action, suit or proceeding brought by an Indemnitee to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses granted pursuant to this Article XII, 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.

(e) 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 Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) or (b), as applicable. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of such disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no disinterested directors, or the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4)by the stockholders.

(f) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee 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 (1) as to any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum, (ii) by a committee of such disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no disinterested directors, or the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that, based upon the facts known to the Board of Directors, the committee or counsel at the time such determination is made such director or officer 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 director or officer believed or had reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, and (2) as to any Indemnitee who is not or was not a director or officer of the Corporation, by the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President so authorized by the Chief Executive Officer or the President, that, based upon the facts known to the Chief Executive Officer, the President or such Vice President at the time such determination is made such Indemnitee 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 person believed or had reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, provided that such Indemnitee shall have the right to present a written appeal of any determination made by the Chief Executive Officer, the President or such Vice President to the persons specified under clause (1) of this paragraph (f), as determined by the Board of Directors.

Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this Article XII shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee in effect under this Article XII at the time of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

(h) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Indemnitee   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.
