     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:

     Section 1. Grant of Option and Exercise Price. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Plan and this Agreement, on                                         ,            (the “Date of Grant”), the Committee granted to Participant an option (the “Option”) to purchase            shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at an exercise price of $           per Share (the “Exercise Price”).

     Section 2. Incentive Stock Option. The Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     Section 3. Exercise of Option. The Option shall become exercisable as follows or on such earlier date as provided in the Plan:                                                             .

     Section 6. Restriction on Transfer. The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the Option except, in the event of death of Participant, by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

     Section 7. Termination. If the Participant ceases to maintain Continuous Service for cause, or voluntarily for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, all rights under the Option shall terminate immediately upon cessation of Continuous Service.

If the Participant ceases to maintain Continuous Service as the result of Disability the Participant may exercise the Option to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such cessation for a period of one year or until expiration of the term of the Option, whichever is earlier. If the Participant ceases to maintain Continuous Service as the result of retirement or for any reason other than those set forth above, Participant may exercise the Option to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such cessation for a period of three months immediately succeeding such cessation of Continuous Service, and in no event after the expiration date of the Option.

All determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be binding and conclusive upon the Participant and his or her legal representatives.

     Section 9. Qualification of Rights. Neither this Agreement nor the existence of the Option shall be construed as giving the Participant any right (a) to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its affiliates; or (b) as a shareholder with respect to the Shares until the certificates for the Shares have been issued and delivered to the Participant.

     Section 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana.

     Section 13. Withholding. In connection with the delivery of shares of Common Stock as a result of the exercise of the Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to pay an amount in cash sufficient to cover any tax, including any Federal, state or local income tax, required by any governmental entity to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to such delivery (“Withholding Tax”), and to make payment to the appropriate taxing authority of the amount of such Withholding Tax.

     Section 14. No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver thereof or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
