of the shares of Stock on the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option, and (h) the exercise period shall not exceed five (5) years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option.
     (b) Non-Qualified Stock Options. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 6(b) are intended to constitute Non-Qualified Stock Options and shall be subject only to the general terms and conditions specified in Section 6(c) hereof.
     (c) General Terms and Conditions of Options.

     (ii) Each Option Agreement shall specifically state whether the Option constitutes an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
     (iii) Each Option Agreement shall state the option price, which, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option (subject to Section 6(a)(ii) above) or a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on the date of grant.
     (iv) The option price shall be paid in full, at the time of exercise, in cash or in shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such option price or in combination of cash and such shares.
     (v) Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, Stock Options shall be exercisable commencing on the third anniversary of the grant thereof, in one or more installments and subject to such other conditions as the Committee may determine. Except as described in the following sentence, however, in no event shall Stock Options be exercisable until the first anniversary of the grant thereof. The Committee shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding option at such time and under such circumstances as it deems appropriate. The exercise period shall be determined by the Committee. No Stock Option may he exercised more than ten years after the date of grant; provided, however, that the otherwise applicable ten year term of a Stock Option may be extended beyond ten years, thus causing the Stock Option to generally become a Nonqualified Option, if:
     (A) the exercise period is extended to a date no later than the later of:
     (1) the 15th day of the third month following the date at which, or
     (2) December 31 of the calendar year in which,
the option would otherwise have expired if the option had not been extended, based on the terms of the option at the original grant date, or
(B) the option is unexercisable because an exercise of the option would violate applicable securities laws, provided that the period during which the option may be exercised is not extended more than 30 days after the exercise of the option first would no longer violate applicable securities laws.
     (vi) The exercise period shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 6(c)(vii) through Section 6(c)(ix) hereof. A Stock Option may be exercised after it has become exercisable by giving written notice of such exercise to the Committee or its designated agent.
     (vii) Except as provided for in this Section 6(c)(vii) or Section 6(c)(ix) hereof, a Stock Option may not be exercised unless the

Grantee is then an Employee, and unless the Grantee has remained continuously employed since the date of the grant of the Stock Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant, in the event that the employment of a Grantee shall terminate (other than by reason of death, disability, or retirement at or after age 60), all Stock Options of such Grantee that are exercisable at the time of termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within ninety (90) days after the date of such termination,
     (viii) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant, if a Grantee shall die, or if the Grantee’s employment shall terminate by reason of disability while an Employee, all Stock Options theretofore granted to such Grantee (to the extent otherwise exercisable) may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Grantee or by the Grantee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise any such Stock Options within one (1) year after the date of termination of such Grantee’s employment.
     (ix) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant, if a Grantee shall retire from the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof at or after age 60, all Stock Options theretofore granted to such Grantee (to the extent otherwise exercisable) may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Grantee within three (3) years after the date of termination of such Grantee’s employment.
     Section 7. Changes in Capital Structure and Other Events.
     (a) If there is any change in the number of shares of Stock through the declaration of extraordinary dividends, recapitalization, stock splits, or combinations or exchanges of shares, or in the event of an extraordinary cash dividend or other similar transaction, the number of shares of Stock available for awards, the number of such shares covered by outstanding awards and the price per share of Stock Options or the applicable market value of Performance Units shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to reflect any such changes; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated.
     (b) Upon dissolution or liquidation of Company or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one (1) or more corporations as a result of which Company is not the surviving corporation, or upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Company, (i) the Stock Options then outstanding under the Plan will become fully vested and exercisable, and (ii) all or some outstanding Performance Units will be immediately paid on the basis of an amount determined by the Committee.
     (c) In the event of a Change in Control, (i) all Stock Options shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable; (ii) the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine to pay cash to any or all Stock Option holders in exchange for the cancellation of some or all of their outstanding Stock Options; and (iv) subject to the consent of the Grantee, the Committee may make any other adjustments to outstanding Incentive Awards or substitute new incentive awards for such outstanding Incentive Awards as it may, in its sole discretion, determine.
     (d) Adjustments made under this Section 7 will be made by the Committee as constituted immediately prior to the event occasioning such adjustment, whose determination as to what adjustments will be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional interest will be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments.
     Section 8. Agreement by Grantee Regarding Withholding Taxes.
     If the Committee shall so require, as a condition of exercise of a Stock Option, each Grantee shall agree that no later than the date of exercise or other payment of an award hereunder, the Grantee will pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise or realization of an Incentive Award, The Committee may

also provide that a Grantee may elect to have the Corporation withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon Stock Option exercise in satisfaction of federal, state and local tax with Company obligations (up to an amount permitted by applicable law or regulation, including Rule 16b-3) in connection with the exercise or realization of any such Incentive Award.
     Section 9. Term of the Plan.
     Incentive Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan from time to time within a period of ten (10) years from the date the Prior Plan was adopted by the Board, or the date the Prior Plan was approved by the stockholders of BWIP Holding, Inc., whichever was earlier.
     Section 10. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
     The Board at any time and from time to time may suspend, terminate, modify, or amend the Plan; provided, however, that any amendment that would materially increase the aggregate number of shares of Stock as to which awards may be granted under the Plan or materially increase the benefits accruing to Grantees under the Plan or materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of the Stock issued and outstanding to the extent required by Rule 16b-3, applicable law or any other governing rules or regulations, except that any such increase or modification resulting from adjustments authorized by Section 7 hereof shall not require such approval. Except as otherwise provided for in Section 6, no suspension, termination, modification, or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any Incentive Award previously granted, unless the written consent of the Grantee is obtained.
     Section 11. General Provisions.
     (a) All Incentive Awards shall be evidenced by an instrument in such form as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Plan (and with other such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall establish).
     (b) Nothing in the Plan or in any Incentive Award granted pursuant hereto shall confer upon an individual any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such employment.
     (c) No shares of Stock will be issued or transferred pursuant to an Incentive Award unless and until all then applicable requirements imposed by federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and by any stock exchanges upon which the Stock may be listed, have been fully met. As a condition precedent to the issuance of shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Incentive Award, the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements.
     (d) The Plan shall take effect upon its adoption by the Board subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of Stock which are represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject within twelve months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.
     (e) Awards granted under the Plan shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and awards may be exercised or otherwise realized during the lifetime of the Grantee only by the Grantee or by his guardian or legal representative.
     (f) The section and subsection headings are contained herein for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
