        On April 20, 2007, Stephen N. Graff retired as a director of Regal Beloit Corporation (the "Company") in accordance with the Company's Bylaws that provide for the mandatory retirement of a director at the first annual meeting of shareholders after the director reaches the age of 72.

        At the annual meeting of the Company's shareholders held on April 20, 2007 (the "2007 Annual Meeting"), the shareholders of the Company approved the Regal Beloit Corporation 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"). The 2007 Plan provides that up to a total of 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), may be issued thereunder. The 2007 Plan authorizes the grant to key employees of the Company or its affiliates, including any executive officer or employee-director of the Company, and each non-employee director of the Company of (a) stock options, which may be either incentive stock options meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or non-qualified stock options; (b) stock appreciation rights; (c) restricted stock and restricted stock units; and (d) performance shares and performance units.

        The 2007 Plan is described in detail in the Company's proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Schedule 14A in connection with the 2007 Annual Meeting. The description of the 2007 Plan set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2007 Plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

        On January 26, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company, in connection with the adoption of the 2007 Plan, approved a form of Stock Option Award Agreement, a form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement, a form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and a Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement for the issuance of awards under the 2007 Plan (collectively, the "Agreements"). The Agreements are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year .

        At the 2007 Annual Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles"), to increase the authorized capital of the Company from 50 million shares of Common Stock to 100 million shares of Common Stock. Articles of Amendment to the Articles effecting the amendment were filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions on April 20, 2007. The Articles as amended through April 20, 2007 are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1.

        Also on April 20, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"). The Amended and Restated Bylaws contain amendments relating to, among other things, (a) the establishment of procedures that shareholders seeking to call a special meeting of shareholders, act by written consent, bring business before an annual meeting of shareholders or nominate directors must satisfy; (b) the establishment of procedures for the indemnification of officers and directors of the Company; (c) the manner in which the Bylaws may be amended; and (d) the update of the existing Bylaws for consistency with the provisions of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    (a)        The authorized number of directors of the Corporation which shall constitute the entire Board of Directors shall be such as from time to time shall be determined by majority of the then authorized number of directors, but in no case shall the authorized number of directors be less than three (3) or more than fifteen (15). The directors shall be divided with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three (3) classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, as determined by the Board of Directors, with the members of each class to hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. At each annual meeting of shareholders, the successors of the members of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of directors held in the third year following the year of their election. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of an incumbent director.

    (b)        Any director may be removed from office by the shareholders, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes then entitled to be cast in an election of directors.

    (c)        Any vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors, including, but not limited to, a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors or the removal of a director, shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if such majority is less than a quorum of the board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director. If no director remains in office, any vacancy may be filled by the shareholders.

    (a)        A Special Meeting may be called only by (i) the Chairman of the Board, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer or (iii) the Board of Directors and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer upon the demand, in accordance with this Section 2.02, of the holders of record of shares representing at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issues proposed to be considered at the Special Meeting.

    (b)        In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to demand a Special Meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date to determine the shareholders entitled to make such a demand (the “Demand Record Date”).  The Demand Record Date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Demand Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors and shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the Demand Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any shareholder of record seeking to have shareholders demand a Special Meeting shall, by sending written notice to the Secretary of the corporation by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, request the Board of Directors to fix a Demand Record Date.  The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within 10 days after the date on which a valid request to fix a Demand Record Date is received, adopt a resolution fixing the Demand Record Date and shall make a public announcement of such Demand Record Date.  If no Demand Record Date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within 10 days after the date on which such request is received by the Secretary, the Demand Record Date shall be the 10 th day after the first day on which a valid written request to set a Demand Record Date is received by the Secretary.  To be valid, such written request shall set forth the purpose or purposes for which the Special Meeting is to be held, shall be signed by one or more shareholders of record (or their duly authorized proxies or other representatives), shall bear the date of signature of each such shareholder (or proxy or other representative) and shall set forth all information about each such shareholder and about the beneficial owner or owners, if any, on whose behalf the request is made that would be required to be set forth in a shareholder’s notice described in paragraph (a)(ii) of Section 2.13 of these bylaws.





    (c)        In order for a shareholder or shareholders to demand a Special Meeting, a written demand or demands for a Special Meeting by the holders of record as of the Demand Record Date of shares representing at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the Special Meeting must be delivered to the corporation.  To be valid, each written demand by a shareholder for a Special Meeting shall set forth the specific purpose or purposes for which the Special Meeting is to be held (which purpose or purposes shall be limited to the purpose or purposes set forth in the written request to set a Demand Record Date received by the corporation pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.02), shall be signed by one or more persons who as of the Demand Record Date are shareholders of record (or their duly authorized proxies or other representatives), shall bear the date of signature of each such shareholder (or proxy or other representative), shall set forth the name and address, as they appear in the corporation’s books, of each shareholder signing such demand and the class or series and number of shares of the corporation which are owned of record and beneficially by each such shareholder, shall be sent to the Secretary by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be received by the Secretary within 70 days after the Demand Record Date.

    (d)        The corporation shall not be required to call a Special Meeting upon shareholder demand unless, in addition to the documents required by paragraph (c) of this Section 2.02, the Secretary receives a written agreement signed by each Soliciting Shareholder (as defined herein), pursuant to which each Soliciting Shareholder, jointly and severally, agrees to pay the corporation’s costs of holding the Special Meeting, including the costs of preparing and mailing proxy materials for the corporation’s own solicitation, provided that if each of the resolutions introduced by any Soliciting Shareholder at such meeting is adopted, and each of the individuals nominated by or on behalf of any Soliciting Shareholder for election as director at such meeting is elected, then the Soliciting Shareholders shall not be required to pay such costs.  For purposes of this paragraph (d), the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

    (i)                  “Affiliate” of any Person shall mean any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such first Person.


    (ii)                 “Participant” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-12 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).


    (iii)                “Person” shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity.


    (iv)                “Proxy” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

    (v)                 “Solicitation” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-1(l) promulgated under the Exchange Act.


    (vi)                “Soliciting Shareholder” shall mean, with respect to any Special Meeting demanded by a shareholder or shareholders, any of the following Persons:


    (A)        if the number of shareholders signing the demand or demands for a meeting delivered to the corporation pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.02 is 10 or fewer, each shareholder signing any such demand;


    (B)        if the number of shareholders signing the demand or demands for a meeting delivered to the corporation pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.02 is more than 10, each Person who either (I) was a Participant in any Solicitation of such demand or demands or (II) at the time of the delivery to the corporation of the documents described in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.02, had engaged or intended to engage in any Solicitation of Proxies for use at such Special Meeting (other than a Solicitation of Proxies on behalf of the corporation); or


    (C)        any Affiliate of a Soliciting Shareholder, if a majority of the directors then in office determine, reasonably and in good faith, that such Affiliate should be required to sign the written notice described in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.02 and/or the written agreement described in this paragraph (d) in order to prevent the purposes of this Section 2.02 from being evaded.


    (e)        Except as provided in the following sentence, any Special Meeting shall be held at such hour and day as may be designated by whichever of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors shall have called such meeting.  In the case of any Special Meeting called by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer upon the demand of shareholders (a “Demand Special Meeting”), such meeting shall be held at such hour and day as may be designated by the Board of Directors; provided , however , that the date of any Demand Special Meeting shall be not more than 70 days after the Meeting Record Date (as defined in Section 2.05 of these bylaws); and provided further that in the event that the directors then in office fail to designate an hour and date for a Demand Special Meeting within 10 days after the date that valid written demands for such meeting by the holders of record as of the Demand Record Date of shares representing at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the Special Meeting are delivered to the corporation (the “Delivery Date”), then such meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m. (local time) on the 100 th day after the Delivery Date or, if such 100 th day is not a Business Day (as defined below), on the first preceding Business Day.  In fixing a meeting date for any Special Meeting, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors may consider such factors as he, she or it deems relevant within the good faith exercise of his, her or its business judgment, including, without limitation, the nature of the action proposed to be taken, the facts and circumstances surrounding any demand for such meeting, and any plan of the Board of Directors to call an Annual Meeting or a Special Meeting for the conduct of related business.

    (f)        The corporation may engage nationally or regionally recognized independent inspectors of elections to act as an agent of the corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported written demand or demands for a Special Meeting received by the Secretary.  For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no purported demand shall be deemed to have been delivered to the corporation until the earlier of (i) five Business Days following receipt by the Secretary of such purported demand and (ii) such date as the independent inspectors certify to the corporation that the valid demands received by the Secretary represent at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on each issue proposed to be considered at the Special Meeting.  Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors or any shareholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any demand, whether during or after such five Business Day period, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto).



3



    (g)        For purposes of these bylaws, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of Wisconsin are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

    2.03.        Place of Meeting . The Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer may designate any place, either within or without the State of Wisconsin, as the place of meeting for any Annual Meeting or for any Special Meeting, or for any postponement thereof.  If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal business office of the corporation in the State of Wisconsin.  Any meeting may be adjourned to reconvene at any place designated by vote of the Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer.

    2.04.        Notice of Meeting .  Written notice stating the place, day and hour of any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting shall be delivered not less than 10 (unless a longer period is required by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law) nor more than 70 days before the date of such meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Secretary, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting and to other shareholders as may be required by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.  In the event of any Demand Special Meeting, such notice of meeting shall be sent not more than 30 days after the Delivery Date.  If mailed, notice pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be effective when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to each shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock record books of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.  Unless otherwise required by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, a notice of an Annual Meeting need not include a description of the purpose for which the meeting is called.  In the case of any Special Meeting, (a) the notice of meeting shall describe any business that the Board of Directors shall have theretofore determined to bring before the meeting and (b) in the case of a Demand Special Meeting, the notice of meeting (i) shall describe any business set forth in the statement of purpose of the demands received by the corporation in accordance with Section 2.02 of these bylaws and (ii) shall contain all of the information required in the notice received by the corporation in accordance with Section 2.13(b) of these bylaws.  If an Annual Meeting or Special Meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, the corporation shall not be required to give notice of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided , however , that if a new Meeting Record Date for an adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, the corporation shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to persons who are shareholders as of the new Meeting Record Date.

    2.05.        Fixing of Record Date

    (a)        The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date not less than 10 days and not more than 70 days prior to the date of any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting (the “Meeting Record Date”).  In the case of any Demand Special Meeting, (i) the Meeting Record Date shall be not later than the 30 th day after the Delivery Date and (ii) if the Board of Directors fails to fix the Meeting Record Date within 30 days after the Delivery Date, then the close of business on such 30 th day shall be the Meeting Record Date.  The shareholders of record on the Meeting Record Date shall be the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.  Except as provided by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law for a court-ordered adjournment, a determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting is effective for any adjournment of such meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new Meeting Record Date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting. 



4



    (b)        The Board of Directors may also fix in advance a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to take any other action or determining shareholders for any other purpose.  Such record date shall be not more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken.  The record date for determining shareholders entitled to a distribution (other than a distribution involving a purchase, redemption or other acquisition of the corporation’s shares) or a share dividend is the date on which the Board of Directors authorizes the distribution or share dividend, as the case may be, unless the Board of Directors fixes a different record date.

    (c)        In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date to determine the shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (the “Consent Record Date”). The Consent Record Date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Consent Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and such date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the Consent Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall, by sending written notice to the Secretary of the corporation by hand or by certified registered mail, return receipt requested, request the Board of Directors to fix a Consent Record Date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the Consent Record Date and shall make a public announcement of such Consent Record Date. If no Consent Record Date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten days after the date on which such a request is received by the Secretary, then the Consent Record Date shall be the 10 th day after the first date on which a valid written request to set a Consent Record Date is received by the Secretary. To be valid, such written request shall comply with each of the following:

    (i)        Such written request shall be signed by one or more shareholders of record and by the beneficial owners or owners, if any, on whose behalf the shareholder or shareholders are acting, shall bear the date of signature of each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner and shall set forth: (A) the name and address, as they appear on this corporation’s books, of each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner who seeks to have the shareholders express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting; (B) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are owned of record and/or beneficially by each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner; (C) a representation that each such shareholder is a holder of record of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders; (D) the manner in which each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner intend to comply with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act in seeking to have the shareholders express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting; (E) in the case of any such shareholder and any such beneficial owner seeking to elect or re-elect a director by the shareholders expressing consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (1) the name and residence address of the person or persons each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner are seeking to elect or re-elect as a director, (2) a description of all arrangements or understandings between each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner and each person such shareholder and any such beneficial owner are seeking to elect or re-elect as a director and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which such shareholder and any such beneficial owner are seeking to elect or re-elect such person as a director, (3) such other information regarding each person such shareholder and any such beneficial owner are seeking to elect or re-elect as a director as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of directors, or would be otherwise required to be disclosed, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, including any information that would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to Regulation 14A had such person been nominated by the Board of Directors and (4) the written consent of each such person to serve as a director of the corporation if so elected; (F) in the case of any such shareholder and any such beneficial owner seeking to remove a director by the shareholders expressing consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (1) the names of the director(s) each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner are seeking to remove and (2) the reasons of each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner for asserting that such director(s) may be removed for cause; and (G) in the case of any such shareholder and any such beneficial owner seeking to authorize or take any other corporate action by the shareholders expressing consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (1) a brief description of the corporate action desired to be authorized or taken and, if such corporate action includes an amendment to these bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment, (2) the reasons of each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner for authorizing or taking such corporate action and (3) any material interest in such corporate action of each such shareholder and any such beneficial owner.

  A “Consent Soliciting Shareholder” shall also mean each Affiliate of a Consent Soliciting Shareholder described in clause (A) or (B) above who is a member of such Consent Soliciting Shareholder’s “group” for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act, and any other Affiliate of such a Consent Soliciting Shareholder, if a majority of the directors then in office determine, reasonably and in good faith, that such Affiliate should be required to sign the written notice described in Section 2.05(c)(i) and/or the written agreements described in this Section 2.05(c)(ii) and Section 2.05(c)(iii) to prevent the purposes of this Section 2.05(c) and Section 7.02 from being evaded.

    (iii)        Such written request shall be accompanied by a written agreement signed by each Consent Soliciting Shareholder pursuant to which each Consent Soliciting Shareholder agrees to deliver to any inspectors of election engaged by the corporation pursuant to Section 7.02(c) within two (2) Business Days after receipt all Consents and revocations thereof received by such Consent Soliciting Shareholder or such Consent Soliciting Shareholder’s proxy solicitor or other designated agent in connection with such Consent Soliciting Shareholder seeking to have the shareholders express written consent to corporate action without a meeting.


    2.06.               Shareholder Lists .  After a Meeting Record Date has been fixed, the corporation shall prepare a list of the names of all of the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting.  The list shall be arranged by class or series of shares, if any, and show the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder.  Such list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder, beginning two Business days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing to the date of the meeting, at the corporation’s principal office or at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held.  A shareholder or his or her agent may, on written demand, inspect and, subject to the limitations imposed by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, copy the list, during regular business hours and at his or her expense, during the period that it is available for inspection pursuant to this Section 2.06.  The corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting and any shareholder or his or her agent or attorney may inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment thereof.  Refusal or failure to prepare or make available the shareholders’ list shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of shareholders.

    2.07.               Quorum and Voting Requirements; Postponements; Adjournments .

    (a)               Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter.  If the corporation has only one class of stock outstanding, such class shall constitute a separate voting group for purposes of this Section 2.07.  Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, any bylaw adopted under authority granted in the Articles of Incorporation, or the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter shall constitute a quorum of the voting group for action on that matter.  Once a share is represented for any purpose at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting, other than for the purpose of objecting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new Meeting Record Date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting.  If a quorum exists, action on a matter shall be approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles of Incorporation, any bylaw adopted under authority granted in the Articles of Incorporation, or the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

    (b)               The Board of Directors acting by resolution may postpone and reschedule any previously scheduled Annual Meeting or Special Meeting; provided , however , that a Demand Special Meeting shall not be postponed beyond the 100 th day following the Delivery Date.  Any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting may be adjourned from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, (i) at any time, upon a resolution of shareholders if the votes cast in favor of such resolution by the holders of shares of each voting group entitled to vote on any matter theretofore properly brought before the meeting exceed the number of votes cast against such resolution by the holders of shares of each such voting group or (ii) at any time prior to the transaction of any business at such meeting, by the Chairman of the Board or pursuant to resolution of the Board of Directors.  No notice of the time and place of adjourned meetings need be given except as required by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.  At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

    2.08.               Conduct of Meetings .  The Chairman of the Board and, in his or her absence, the Chief Executive Officer shall call any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting to order and shall act as chairman of such meeting.  In the absence of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, such duties shall be performed by the President.  In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the President, such duties shall be performed by a Vice President in the order provided under Section 4.08, or in their absence, by any person chosen by the shareholders present.  The Secretary of the corporation shall act as secretary of all Annual Meetings and Special Meetings, but, in the absence of the Secretary, the presiding officer may appoint any other person to act as secretary of the meeting.

    2.09.               Proxies .  At any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting, a shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. A shareholder entitled to vote at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting, or to express consent or dissent in writing to any corporate action without a meeting, may authorize another person to act for the shareholder by appointing the person as a proxy. The means by which a shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized officer, director, employee, agent or attorney-in-fact may authorize another person to act for the shareholder by appointing the person as proxy include:

    (a)               Appointment of a proxy in writing by signing or causing the shareholder’s signature to be affixed to an appointment form by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

    (b)               Appointment of a proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission of the appointment to the person who will be appointed as proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent authorized to receive the transmission by the person who will be appointed as proxy. Every electronic transmission shall contain, or be accompanied by, information that can be used to reasonably determine that the shareholder transmitted or authorized the transmission of the electronic transmission. Any person charged with determining whether a shareholder transmitted or authorized the transmission of the electronic transmission shall specify the information upon which the determination is made.



8



An appointment of a proxy is effective when a signed appointment form or an electronic transmission of the appointment is received by the inspector of election or the officer or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes. An appointment is valid for eleven months unless a different period is expressly provided in the appointment. An appointment of a proxy is revocable unless the appointment form or electronic transmission states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest. The presence of a shareholder who has made an effective proxy appointment shall not of itself constitute a revocation. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make rules that are not inconsistent with the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law as to the validity and sufficiency of proxy appointments.

    2.10.        Voting of Shares .  Each outstanding share shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or classes are enlarged, limited or denied by the Articles of Incorporation or the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.

    2.11.        Acceptance of Instruments Showing Shareholder Action .  If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, may accept the vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of a shareholder.  If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment does not correspond to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, may accept the vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if any of the following apply:

    (a)        The shareholder is an entity and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity.

    (b)        The name purports to be that of a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the corporation is presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment.

    (c)        The name signed purports to be that of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the corporation is presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment.

    (d)        The name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the corporation of the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder is presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment.

    (e)        Two or more persons are the shareholders as co-tenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co-owners and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all co-owners.



9



The corporation may reject a vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment if the Secretary or other officer or agent of the corporation who is authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature on it or about the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder.

    2.12.               Waiver of Notice by Shareholders .  A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver shall be in writing and signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, contain the same information that would have been required in the notice under applicable provisions of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (except that the time and place of meeting need not be stated) and be delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the corporate records.  A shareholder’s attendance at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, waives objection to all of the following:  (a) lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (b) consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

    2.13.               Notice of Shareholder Business and Nomination of Directors .

    3.02.        Chairman of the Board .  The Board of Directors shall annually elect one of its members to be Chairman of the Board and shall fill any vacancy in the position of Chairman of the Board at such time and in such manner as the Board of Directors shall determine. The Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and of shareholders. The Chairman shall perform such other duties and services as shall be assigned to or required of the Chairman by the Board of Directors.

    3.03.        Resignation and Removal . A director may resign at any time by delivering written notice that complies with the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law to the Chairman of the Board or to the corporation.  Unless otherwise provided in these bylaws, a director’s resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date.  Directors need not be residents of the State of Wisconsin. Pursuant to Article V(b) of the Articles of Incorporation, any director may be removed from office by the corporation’s shareholders, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes then entitled to be cast in an election of directors. In determining whether a director may be removed by the Company’s shareholders, “cause” shall exist only if the director whose removal is proposed has been convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been adjudged liable for actions or omissions in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation in a matter which has had a materially adverse effect on the business of the corporation.

    3.04.        Retirement . Notwithstanding that directors are elected for a three-year term pursuant to Article V(a) of the Articles of Incorporation, a director shall automatically cease to be a director of the corporation effective upon the commencement of the Annual Meeting immediately following such director’s seventy-second (72nd) birthday.

    3.05.        Regular Meetings .  A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw immediately after the Annual Meeting, and each adjourned session thereof.  The place of such regular meeting shall be the same as the place of the Annual Meeting which precedes it, or such other suitable place as may be announced at such Annual Meeting.  The Board of Directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, either within or without the State of Wisconsin, for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.

    3.09.        Manner of Acting .  The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law or by the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws.

Minutes of any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be prepared and distributed to each director.

    3.11.        Vacancies .  Any vacancy occurring in the Board of shall be filled in accordance with Article V(c) of the Articles of Incorporation.  A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date, because of a resignation effective at a later date or otherwise, may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.



14

    3.13.        Presumption of Assent .  A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof of which he or she is a member at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless any of the following occurs:  (a) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon his arrival to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; (b) the director dissents or abstains from an action taken and minutes of the meeting are prepared that show the director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken; (c) the director delivers written notice that complies with the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law of his dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting; or (d) the director dissents or abstains from an action taken, minutes of the meeting are prepared that fail to show the director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken, and the director delivers to the corporation a written notice of that failure that complies with the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law promptly after receiving the minutes.  Such right to dissent or abstain shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

    3.14.        Committees .  The Board of Directors may create one or more committees, appoint members of the Board of Directors to serve on the committees and designate other members of the Board of Directors to serve as alternates. Each committee shall have at least one member who shall, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.  A committee may be authorized to exercise the authority of the Board of Directors, except as otherwise limited by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in creating the committee, a committee may employ counsel, accountants and other consultants to assist it in the exercise of its authority.

    3.15.        Telephonic Meetings .  Except as herein provided and notwithstanding any place set forth in the notice of the meeting or these bylaws, members of the Board of Directors (and any committee thereof) may participate in regular or special meetings by, or through the use of, any means of communication by which all participants may simultaneously communicate with each other, such as by conference telephone.  If a meeting is conducted by such means, then at the commencement of such meeting the presiding officer shall inform the participating directors that a meeting is taking place at which official business may be transacted. Any participant in a meeting by such means shall be deemed present in person at such meeting.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action may be taken at any meeting held by such means on any particular matter which the presiding officer determines, in his sole discretion, to be inappropriate under the circumstances for action at a meeting held by such means.  Such determination shall be made and announced in advance of such meeting.

15



    4.02.        Election and Term of Office .  The officers of the corporation to be elected by the Board of Directors shall be elected annually by the Board of Directors at the first meeting of the Board of Directors held after the Annual Meeting.  If the election of officers shall not be held at such meeting, such election shall be held as soon thereafter as conveniently may be.  Each officer shall hold office until such officer’s successor shall have been duly elected or until his or her prior death, resignation or removal, or a different person is appointed to such office.

    4.03.        Removal and Resignation .  The Board of Directors may remove any officer with or without cause and notwithstanding the contract rights, if any, of the officer removed.   Election or appointment shall not of itself create contract rights.  An officer may resign at any time by delivering notice to the corporation that complies with the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.  The resignation shall be effective when the notice is delivered, unless the notice specifies a later effective date and the corporation accepts the later effective date.

19



    6.02.        Facsimile Signatures and Seal . The seal of the corporation (if any) on any certificates for shares may be a facsimile.  The signatures of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent, or registered by a registrar, other than the corporation itself or an employee of the corporation.

    6.03.        Signature by Former Officers .  In case any officer, who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any certificate for shares, shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the date of its issue.

    6.04.        Transfer of Shares .  Prior to due presentment of a certificate for shares for registration of transfer the corporation may treat the registered owner of such shares as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner.  Where a certificate for shares is presented to the corporation with a request to register for transfer, the corporation shall not be liable to the owner or any other person suffering loss as a result of such registration of transfer if (a) there were on or with the certificate the necessary endorsements, and (b) the corporation had no duty to inquire into adverse claims or has discharged any such duty.  The corporation may require reasonable assurance that said endorsements are genuine and effective and in compliance with such other regulations as may be prescribed under the authority of the Board of Directors.

    6.07.        Consideration for Shares .  The Board of Directors may authorize shares to be issued for consideration consisting of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the corporation, including cash, promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be performed or other securities of the corporation.  Before the corporation issues shares, the Board of Directors shall determine that the consideration received or to be received for the shares to be issued is adequate.  In the absence of a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors expressly determining that the consideration received or to be received is adequate, Board approval of the issuance of the shares shall be deemed to constitute such a determination.  The determination of the Board of Directors is conclusive insofar as the adequacy of consideration for the issuance of shares relates to whether the shares are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The corporation may place in escrow shares issued in whole or in part for a contract for future services or benefits, a promissory note, or other property to be issued in the future, or make other arrangements to restrict the transfer of the shares, and may credit distributions in respect of the shares against their purchase price, until the services are performed, the benefits or property are received or the promissory note is paid.  If the services are not performed, the benefits or property are not received or the promissory note is not paid, the corporation may cancel, in whole or in part, the shares escrowed or restricted and the distributions credited.

The inspectors shall keep such count confidential and shall not reveal the count to any Person; provided, however, that, as soon as practicable after a written request therefor by the corporation or a Consent Soliciting Shareholder, the inspectors shall issue a report (a “Consent Report”) to the corporation and the Consent Soliciting Shareholders stating: (i) number of shares subject to valid Consents; (ii) the number of shares subject to valid revocations of Consents; (iii) the number of shares subject to valid and unrevoked Consents; (iv) the number of shares subject to invalid Consents; (v) the number of shares subject to invalid revocations of Consents; (vi) whether, based on their count, the requisite number of shares subject to valid and unrevoked Consents has been obtained to express the corporate action specified in the Consents; and (vii) the latest date the inspectors received Consents and revocations thereof that the inspectors reflected in such report (the “Report Date”).

    (e)        As soon as practicable after a written request therefor by the corporation or a Consent Soliciting Shareholder (whichever is soliciting Consents), notice of which request shall be given to the corporation and any parties opposing the solicitation of Consents, if any, which request shall state that the corporation or the Consent Soliciting Shareholders, as the case may be, have a good faith belief that the requisite number of shares subject to valid and unrevoked Consents to express the corporate action specified in the Consents has been received in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws, the inspectors shall issue and deliver to the corporation and the Consent Soliciting Shareholders a preliminary Consent Report (the “Preliminary Consent Report”); provided, however, that neither the corporation nor the Consent Soliciting Shareholders may request a Preliminary Consent Report after the 70th day after the applicable Consent Record Date fixed pursuant to Section 2.05(c).

A transcript of the challenge session shall be recorded by a certified court reporter. Following completion of the challenge session, if either (i) the date on which the challenge session is completed (the “Completion Date”) is more than seventy (70) days after the applicable Consent Record Date fixed pursuant to Section 2.05(c) or (ii) the Completion Date is not more than seventy (70) days after the applicable Consent Record Date fixed pursuant to Section 2.05(c) and the requisite number of shares subject to valid and unrevoked Consents to express the corporate action specified in the Consents was obtained, then the inspectors shall as promptly as practicable issue to the corporation and the Consent Soliciting Shareholders a Final Consent Report, which shall contain the information included in the Preliminary Consent Report, plus all changes in the vote totals as a result of the challenge and, if such Consents and revocations thereof are received within seventy (70) days after the applicable Consent Record Date fixed pursuant to Section 2.05(c), Consents and revocations thereof received after the Preliminary Consent Report Report Date to the time of issuance of the Final Report, and a certification as to whether the requisite number of shares subject to valid and unrevoked Consents to express the corporate action specified in the Consents was obtained. If the Completion Date is not more than seventy (70) days after the applicable Consent Record Date fixed pursuant to Section 2.05(c) and the requisite number of shares subject to valid and unrevoked Consents to express the corporate action specified in the Consents was not obtained, then the inspectors shall as promptly as practicable issue a Consent Report to the corporation and the Consent Soliciting Shareholders and a certification that the requisite number of shares subject to valid and unrevoked Consents to express the corporate action specified in the Consents was not obtained, and the corporation or the Consent Soliciting Shareholders whichever is soliciting Consents) shall have the right to request again a Preliminary Consent Report in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.02(e).

    (h)        Simultaneously with the delivery of any Final Consent Report to the corporation pursuant to Section 7.02(f) or Section 7.02(g), the inspectors shall deliver all valid and unrevoked Consents to the corporation, which shall constitute delivery of such Consents to the corporation for purposes of Section 180.0704 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and the Articles of Incorporation. A copy of any Final Consent Report shall be included in the book in which the proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded.

    (c)        In case of nonpayment pursuant to Section 9.03(b), the Board shall immediately authorize by resolution that an Authority, as provided in Section 9.04, determine whether the Director’s or Officer’s conduct constituted a Breach of Duty and, therefore, whether indemnification should be denied hereunder.

    (d)        (i) If the Board does not authorize an Authority to determine the Director’s or Officer’s right to indemnification hereunder within such 60-day period and/or (ii) if indemnification of the requested amount of Liabilities is paid by the Corporation, then it shall be conclusively presumed for all purposes that a Disinterested Quorum has affirmatively determined that the Director or Officer did not engage in misconduct constituting a Breach of Duty and, in the case of subsection (i) above (but not subsection (ii)), indemnification by the Corporation of the requested amount of Liabilities shall be paid to the Director or Officer immediately.

    9.04.        Determination of Indemnification .

    (a)        If the Board authorizes an Authority to determine a Director’s or Officer’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.03, then the Director or Officer requesting indemnification shall have the absolute discretionary authority to select one of the following as such Authority:

    (i)        An independent legal counsel; provided, that such counsel shall be mutually selected by such Director or Officer and by a majority vote of a Disinterested Quorum or, if a Disinterested Quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of the Board;


    (ii)        A panel of three arbitrators selected from the panels of arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association in Wisconsin; provided, that (A) one arbitrator shall be selected by such Director or Officer, the second arbitrator shall be selected by a majority vote of a Disinterested Quorum or, if a Disinterested Quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of the Board, and the third arbitrator shall be selected by the two previously selected arbitrators, and (B) in all other respects (other than this Article IX), such panel shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association’s then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules; or


    (iii)        A court pursuant to and in accordance with Section 180.0854 of the Statute.


    (b)        In any such determination by the selected Authority, there shall exist a rebuttable presumption that the Director’s or Officer’s conduct did not constitute a Breach of Duty and that indemnification against the requested amount of Liabilities is required. The burden of rebutting such a presumption by clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Corporation or such other party asserting that such indemnification should not be allowed.

    (c)        The Authority shall make its determination within 60 days of being selected and shall submit a written opinion of its conclusion simultaneously to both the Corporation and the Director or Officer.



26



    (d)        If the Authority determines that indemnification is required hereunder, then the Corporation shall pay the entire requested amount of Liabilities (net of any Expenses previously advanced pursuant to Section 9.05), including interest thereon at a reasonable rate, as determined by the Authority, within 10 days of receipt of the Authority’s opinion; provided, that, if it is determined by the Authority that a Director or Officer is entitled to indemnification against Liabilities incurred in connection with some claims, issues or matters, but not as to other claims, issues or matters involved in the subject Proceeding, then the Corporation shall be required to pay (as set forth above) only the amount of such requested Liabilities as the Authority shall deem appropriate in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding.

    (e)        The determination by the Authority that indemnification is required hereunder shall be binding upon the Corporation, regardless of any prior determination that the Director or Officer engaged in a Breach of Duty.

    (f)        All Expenses incurred in the determination process under this Section 9.04 by either the Corporation or the Director or Officer, including, without limitation, all Expenses of the selected Authority, shall be paid by the Corporation.

    9.05.        Mandatory Allowance of Expenses .

    (a)        The Corporation shall pay or reimburse from time to time or at any time, within 10 days after the receipt of the Director’s or Officer’s written request therefor, the reasonable Expenses of the Director or Officer as such Expenses are incurred; provided, the following conditions are satisfied:

    (b)        The Director or Officer furnishes to the Corporation an executed written certificate affirming his or her good faith belief that he or she has not engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty; and

    (c)        The Director or Officer furnishes to the Corporation an unsecured executed written agreement to repay any advances made under this Section 9.05 if it is ultimately determined by an Authority that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation for such Expenses pursuant to Section 9.04.

    (d)        If the Director or Officer must repay any previously advanced Expenses pursuant to this Section 9.05, then such Director or Officer shall not be required to pay interest on such amounts.

     9.06         Indemnification and Allowance of Expenses of Certain Others .

    (a)        The Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion as it deems appropriate, pursuant to a majority vote thereof, indemnify a director or officer of a Corporation Affiliate (who is not otherwise serving as a Director or Officer) against all Liabilities, and shall advance the reasonable Expenses, incurred by such director or officer in a Proceeding to the same extent hereunder as if such director or officer incurred such Liabilities because he or she was a Director or Officer, if such director or officer is a Party thereto because he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation Affiliate.

    (b)        The Corporation shall indemnify an employee who is not a Director or Officer, to the extent he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of a Proceeding, for all reasonable Expenses incurred in the Proceeding if the employee was a Party because he or she was an employee of the Corporation.



27



    (c)        The Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion as it deems appropriate, pursuant to a majority vote thereof, indemnify (to the extent not otherwise provided in Section 9.06(b)) against Liabilities incurred by, and/or provide for the allowance of reasonable Expenses of, an employee or authorized agent of the Corporation acting within the scope of his or her duties as such and who is not a Director or Officer.

    9.07.        Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a Director or Officer or any individual who is or was an employee or authorized agent of the Corporation against any Liability asserted against or incurred by such individual in his or her capacity as such or arising from his or her status as such, regardless of whether the Corporation is required or permitted to indemnify against any such Liability under this Article IX.

    9.08.        Notice to the Corporation . A Director or Officer or an employee of the Corporation shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing when he or she has actual knowledge of a Proceeding that may result in a claim of indemnification against Liabilities or allowance of Expenses hereunder, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the Corporation of any liability to the Director or Officer or employee hereunder unless the Corporation shall have been irreparably prejudiced by such failure (as determined, in the case of Directors or Officers only, by an Authority selected pursuant to Section 9.04(a)).

    9.09.        Severability . If any provision of this Article IX shall be deemed invalid or inoperative, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the provisions of this Article IX contravene public policy, then this Article IX shall be construed so that the remaining provisions shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such provisions which are invalid or inoperative or which contravene public policy shall be deemed, without further action or deed by or on behalf of the Corporation, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable; it being understood that it is the Corporation’s intention to provide Directors and Officers with the broadest possible protection against personal liability allowable under the Statute.

    9.10.        Nonexclusivity of Article IX . The rights of a Director or Officer or an employee of the corporation (or any other person) granted under this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification against Liabilities or allowance of Expenses which the Director or Officer or employee of the corporation (or such other person) may be entitled to under any written agreement, board resolution, vote of shareholders of the corporation or otherwise, including, without limitation, under the Statute. Nothing contained in this Article IX shall be deemed to limit the corporation’s obligations to indemnify against Liabilities or allow Expenses to a Director or Officer or an employee of the corporation under the Statute.

    9.11         Contractual Nature of Article IX; Repeal or Limitation of Rights . This Article IX shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director or Officer and employee of the Corporation and any repeal or other limitation of this Article IX or any repeal or limitation of the Statute or any other applicable law shall not limit any rights of indemnification against Liabilities or allowance of Expenses then existing or arising out of events, acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or limitation, including, without limitation, the right to indemnification against Liabilities or allowance of Expenses for Proceedings commenced after such repeal or limitation to enforce this Article IX with regard to acts, omissions or events arising prior to such repeal or limitation. If the Statute is amended to permit or require the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than this Article IX permits or requires, then this Article IX shall be automatically amended and deemed to incorporate such broader indemnification rights.



28



ARTICLE X.   AMENDMENTS

    10.01.               By Shareholders .  These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new bylaws may be adopted by the shareholders at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting at which a quorum is in attendance.

    10.02.               By Directors .  These bylaws may also be altered, amended or repealed and new bylaws may be adopted by the Board of Directors by affirmative vote of a majority of the number of directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is in attendance; provided, however , that the shareholders in adopting, amending or repealing a particular bylaw may provide therein that the Board of Directors may not amend, repeal or readopt that bylaw.

[Name]
[Address]

You have been granted a Restricted Stock award for shares of common stock of Regal-Beloit Corporation (the “Company”) under the Regal-Beloit Corporation 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with the following terms and conditions:

Grant Date: __________, 200_

Number of Restricted Shares: __________________ Shares

  Upon your termination of employment or service, you will forfeit the Restricted Shares that have not yet vested.

Escrow: Your Restricted Shares will be held in escrow by the Company, as escrow agent. The Company will give you a receipt for the Shares held in escrow that will state that the Company holds such Shares in escrow for your account, subject to the terms of this Award, and you will give the Company a stock power for such Shares duly endorsed in blank which will be used in the event such Shares are forfeited in whole or in part. As soon as practicable after the vesting date, the Restricted Shares will cease to be held in escrow, and certificate(s) for such number of Shares will be delivered to you or, in the case of your death, to your estate.

Transferability of Restricted Shares: You may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise alienate or hypothecate any of your Restricted Shares until they are vested. In addition, by accepting this Award, you agree not to sell any Shares acquired under this Award at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale.

Voting and Dividends: While the Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture, you may not exercise any voting rights. You will, however, receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Restricted Shares so long as the applicable record date occurs before you forfeit such Shares. If, however, any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares will be subject to the same risk of forfeiture, restrictions on transferability and other terms of this Award as are the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid.





Change of Control: Upon a Change of Control, the Restricted Shares shall vest in full and you shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Change of Control, to receive in exchange for the surrender of your Restricted Stock an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares.

Tax Withholding: To the extent that the receipt or the vesting of the Restricted Shares results in income to you for Federal, state or local income tax purposes, you shall deliver to the Company at the time the Company is obligated to withhold taxes in connection with such receipt or vesting, as the case may be, such amount as the Company requires to meet its statutory minimum withholding obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations, and if you fail to do so, the Company has the right and authority to deduct or withhold from other compensation payable to you an amount sufficient to satisfy its withholding obligations. If you do not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in connection with this Award, you may satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, in cash or by electing to have the Company withhold for its own account that number of Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable to you from escrow hereunder on the date the tax is to be determined having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory total tax that the Company must withhold in connection with the vesting of such Shares. Your election must be irrevocable, in writing, and submitted to the Secretary of the Company before the applicable vesting date. The Fair Market Value of any fractional Share not used to satisfy the withholding obligation (as determined on the date the tax is determined) will be paid to you in cash. You should consult your own tax advisor to determine the tax effect to you of restricted stock granted to you by the Company.

Miscellaneous: o As a condition of the granting of this Award, you agree, for yourself and your legal representatives or guardians, that this Agreement shall be interpreted by the Administrator and that any interpretation by the Administrator of the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and any determination made by the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.

  o This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

This Restricted Stock Award is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan. Additional provisions regarding your Award and definitions of capitalized terms used and not defined in this Award can be found in the Plan.
