Each performance stock unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock, subject to the conditions set forth in this performance stock unit agreement and the Plan.

2. Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as the same may be amended from time to time, the following terms, when used in this performance stock unit agreement, shall have the meanings set forth in this Section 2.

“Committee” shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or if there is no such committee acting, the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

3. Vesting. The Award shall vest based on a 3-year cumulative performance cycle, beginning as of January 1, ____ and ending on December 31, ____ (the “Performance Period”). The vesting of the Award shall be subject to the Corporation achieving by the end of the Performance Period the Diluted Earnings Per Share and the Relative Total Shareholder Return, as provided in Exhibit A attached hereto. Following the end of the Performance Period and the collection of relevant data necessary to determine the extent to which the performance goals set forth in Exhibit A have been satisfied, the Committee will determine: (a) the amount of Diluted Earnings Per Share and Relative Total Shareholder Return that was achieved by the Corporation over the Performance Period, and (b) the percentage of the Target Units that become Vested Units (as defined in Exhibit A) as of the last day of the Performance Period. The Committee shall make these determinations in its sole discretion. The level of achievement of Diluted Earnings Per Share and Relative Total Shareholder Return shall be evidenced by the Committee’s written certification, in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).

4. Settlement of Vested Units. Upon the vesting of all or a portion of the Award, one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each Vested Unit (as defined in Exhibit A) (the “PSU Shares”). Thereafter, the Corporation will transfer such PSU Shares to the Award Holder upon the Committee’s written certification as set forth in Section 3 and the satisfaction of any required tax withholding obligations, securities law registration or other requirements, and applicable stock exchange listing. No fractional shares shall be issued with respect to the Award. The Award Holder shall not acquire or have any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation by virtue of this performance stock unit agreement (or the Award evidenced hereby) until the certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Award are actually issued and delivered to the Award Holder in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this performance stock unit agreement.

5. Change in Control.

(a) In the event that a Change in Control occurs, the Target Units shall be deemed to have become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, increase (but not decrease) the number of performance stock units that are deemed to vest in the event of a Change in Control up to a maximum of two hundred percent (200%) of the Target Units.

(b) For purposes of this performance stock unit agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Corporation shall mean a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); provided that, without limitation, such a change in control shall be deemed conclusively to have occurred if (i) a tender offer shall be made and consummated for the ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation, (ii) the shareholders of the corporation approve that the Corporation be merged or consolidated with another corporation and as a result of such merger or consolidation less than 75% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the former

For purposes hereof, ownership of voting securities shall take into account and shall include ownership as determined by applying the provisions of Rule 13d-3 (as in effect on the date hereof) under the Exchange Act. A sale or other change in control of any Subsidiary of the Corporation by which the Award Holder is employed shall not be deemed a Change in Control of the Corporation for purposes of this Agreement.

6. Termination. If the Award Holder’s employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary terminates before the end of the Performance Period for any reason, except as provided in this Section 6 or in Section 5 above, then the Award will be forfeited and cancelled and surrendered to the Corporation without payment of any consideration, effective on the date of the Award Holder’s termination of employment. Upon the termination of the Award Holder’s employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary as a result of (a) death or “permanent disability” (as defined herein) or (b) “retirement” (as defined herein), the Target Units covered by the Award shall be reduced to a number of performance stock units equal to the Target Units set forth in Section 1 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which equals the number of full calendar quarters that have elapsed between the Effective Date and the date of termination of employment and (ii) the denominator of which equals twelve (12).

Any securities so substituted shall be subject to similar successive adjustments.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Dated as of January 1, ____

Exhibit A

For purposes of this performance stock unit agreement, the “Diluted Earnings Per Share” means the sum of the diluted earnings per share of the Corporation for the Corporation’s fiscal years ending December 31, ____, December 31, ____ and December 31, ____ as included in the Corporation’s audited financial statements, subject to adjustment as provided herein. The Diluted Earnings Per Share shall be adjusted (as determined by the Committee) (i) for changes in accounting, (ii) for discontinued operations, (iii) to exclude gain or loss on the sale of any business or product line, and (iv) to exclude any asset impairment write-offs or charges (whether of goodwill, intangible or tangible assets). An appropriate adjustment in the Diluted Earnings Per Share amounts in the table below also shall be made for any of the events described in Section 7(a) above.

For purposes of this performance stock unit agreement, the “Relative Total Shareholder Return” means the Corporation’s annualized total shareholder return (as determined by the Committee) over the Performance Period as compared to the annualized total shareholder return of the SPADE Defense Index (as determined by the Committee) over the Performance Period, and expressed as the compound annual percentage by which the Corporation’s total shareholder return exceeds or is exceeded by that of the SPADE Defense Index. The determination of the annualized total shareholder return for the Corporation and the SPADE Defense Index shall include the appreciation or depreciation of stock prices plus dividends paid as if reinvested. If an annualized total shareholder return (including the reinvestment of dividends) is not published for the SPADE Defense Index, then the annualized total shareholder return (including the reinvestment of dividends) for the SPADE Defense Index shall be calculated using such methods as the Committee shall determine. If the SPADE Defense Index ceases to be published, the Committee shall, in its discretion, substitute another broad-based stock index that it determines is appropriate.

If the Diluted Earnings Per Share does not equal or exceed the threshold in the table below and the Relative Total Shareholder Return does not equal or exceed the threshold in the table below, the Award shall expire without consideration. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the performance stock units will vest based on the Corporation’s Relative Total Shareholder Return achievement unless the Corporation’s Total Shareholder Return over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than zero. Subject to the foregoing paragraphs and provided that the Award Holder has remained in the employment or service of the Corporation over the Performance Period, (except in the event of death, permanent disability or retirement as provided above), the number of performance stock units that will vest under this performance stock unit agreement shall be determined in accordance with the following table:

6% Target = 1.06 X + (1.06²) X + (1.06³) X

Where X = Diluted EPS in year prior to Performance Period

In the event that the Corporation’s Diluted Earnings Per Share and/or Relative Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Period falls between two of the percentages listed in the table above, the applicable percentage of Target Units based on such achievement shall be determined by linear interpolation. The total number of performance stock units subject to the Award that vest based upon the Corporation’s achievement over the Performance Period (as determined by the Committee) will be equal to the sum of (i) the Vesting Percentage determined by reference to the table above with respect to the Corporation’s Diluted Earnings Per Share over the Performance Period multiplied by the number of Target Units set forth in Section 1 above, plus (ii) the Vesting Percentage determined by reference to the table above with respect to the Corporation’s Relative Total Shareholder Return over the Performance Period multiplied by the number of Target Units set forth in Section 1 above (such units, the “Vested Units”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will more that two hundred percent (200%) of the number of Target Units become vested hereunder. Performance stock units granted under this Award that are not vested and remain subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Unvested Units.”
