Exhibit 10.1

PENTAIR, INC.
2008 OMNIBUS STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED

     1. Purpose and Effective Date.

     (a) Purpose. The Pentair, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan has several complementary purposes: (i) to promote the growth and success of the Company by linking a significant portion of participant compensation to the increase in value of the Company’s common stock; (ii) to attract and retain top quality, experienced executives and key employees by offering a competitive incentive compensation program; (iii) to reward innovation and outstanding performance as important contributing factors to the Company ‘s growth and progress; (iv) to align the interests of executives, key employees, directors and consultants with those of the Company’s shareholders by reinforcing the relationship between participant rewards and shareholder gains obtained through the achievement by plan participants of short-term objectives and long-term goals; and (iv) to encourage executives, key employees, directors and consultants to obtain and maintain an equity interest in the Company.

     (b) Effective Date. This Plan will become effective, and Awards may be granted under this Plan: (1) with regard to Non-Employee Directors, on and after February 26, 2008, provided that any Awards made prior to the date that the Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders shall be contingent on such shareholder approval, and (2) with regard to all other eligible individuals, the date that the Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders. If the Company’s shareholders approve this Plan, then the Pentair, Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) will terminate on the date of such shareholder approval, and no new awards will be granted under the Prior Plan after its termination date; provided that the Prior Plan will continue to govern awards outstanding as of the date of such plan’s termination and such awards shall continue in force and effect until fully distributed or terminated pursuant to their terms.

     2. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Plan have the following meanings:

Notwithstanding

the foregoing, the calculation of any Performance Goal established for purposes of an Award shall be made without regard to changes in accounting methods used by the Company or in accounting standards that may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board after a Performance Goal relative to an Award is established and prior to the time the compensation earned by reason of the achievement of the relevant Performance Goal is paid to the Participant. In the case of Awards that the Administrator determines will not be considered “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), the Administrator may establish other Performance Goals not listed in this Plan. Where applicable, the Performance Goals may be expressed, without limitation, in terms of attaining a specified level of the particular criterion or the attainment of an increase or decrease (expressed as absolute numbers or a percentage) in the particular criterion or achievement in relation to a peer group or other index. The Performance Goals may include a threshold level of performance below which no payment will be made (or no vesting will occur), levels of performance at which specified payments will be paid (or specified vesting will occur), and a maximum level of performance above which no additional payment will be made (or at which full vesting will occur).

     3. Administration.

     (a) Administration. In addition to the authority specifically granted to the Administrator in this Plan, the Administrator has full discretionary authority to administer this Plan, including but not limited to the authority to: (i) interpret the provisions of this Plan; (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan; (iii) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in any Award or agreement covering an Award in the manner and to the extent it deems desirable to carry this Plan into effect; and (iv) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan. All Administrator determinations shall be made in the sole discretion of the Administrator and are final and binding on all interested parties.

          Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator shall have the discretion to grant an Award with any vesting condition, any Restriction Period or any performance period if the Award is granted to a newly hired or promoted Participant, or accelerate the vesting, Restriction Period or performance period of an Award, in connection with a Participant’s death, disability, Retirement or termination by the Company without Cause. Any action by the Committee to accelerate or otherwise amend an Award for reasons other than Retirement, death, Disability or a termination by the Company without Cause, or in connection with a Change of Control, shall include application of a commercially reasonable discount to the compensation otherwise payable to reflect the value of the accelerated payment

          Notwithstanding the above statement or any other provision of the Plan, once established, the Committee shall have no discretion to increase the amount of compensation payable under an Award that is intended to be performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), although the Committee may decrease the amount of compensation a Participant may earn under such an Award.

     (b) Delegation to Other Committees or Officers. To the extent applicable law permits, the Board may delegate to another committee of the Board or to one or more officers of the Company, or the Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company, any or all of their respective authority and responsibility as an Administrator of the Plan; provided that no such delegation is permitted with respect to Stock-based Awards made to Section 16 Participants at the time any such delegated authority or responsibility is exercised unless the delegation is to another committee of the Board consisting entirely of Non-Employee Directors. If the Board or the Committee has made such a delegation, then all references to the

Administrator in this Plan include such other committee or one or more officers to the extent of such delegation.

     (c) Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Board and the Committee, and each officer or member of any other committee to whom a delegation under Section 3(b) has been made, as to any acts or omissions with respect to this Plan or any Award to the maximum extent that the law and the Company’s by-laws permit.

     4. Eligibility. The Administrator may designate any of the following as a Participant from time to time, to the extent of the Administrator’s authority: any Eligible Employee, any Consultant or any Director, including a Non-Employee Director. The Administrator’s granting of an Award to a Participant will not require the Administrator to grant an Award to such individual at any future time. The Administrator’s granting of a particular type of Award to a Participant will not require the Administrator to grant any other type of Award to such individual.

     5. Types of Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator may grant any type of Award to any Participant it selects, but only employees of the Company or a Subsidiary may receive grants of incentive stock options. Awards may be granted alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award (or any other award granted under another plan of the Company or any Affiliate).

     6. Shares Reserved under this Plan.

     (a) Plan Reserve. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16, an aggregate of seven million five hundred thousand (7,500,000) Shares are reserved for issuance under this Plan. The Shares reserved for issuance may be either authorized and unissued Shares or shares reacquired at any time and now or hereafter held as treasury stock.

     (b) Incentive stock Option Award Limits. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16, the Company may issue only an aggregate of five million (5,000,000) Shares upon the exercise of incentive stock options.

     (c) Replenishment of Shares Under this Plan. The aggregate number of Shares reserved under Section 6(a) shall be depleted by the number of Shares with respect to which an Award is granted; provided that the aggregate number of Shares reserved under Section 6(a) shall be depleted by three (3) Shares for each Share subject to a full-value Award. For this purpose, a full-value award includes Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units (valued in relation to a Share), Deferred Stock Rights and any other similar Award under which the value of the Award is measured as the full value of a Share, rather than the increase in the value of a Share. If, however, an Award lapses, expires, terminates or is cancelled without the issuance of Shares or the payment of other compensation under the Award, or if Shares are forfeited under an Award, or if Shares are issued under any Award and the Company subsequently reacquires them pursuant to rights reserved upon the issuance of the Shares, then such Shares shall be recredited to the Plan’s reserve (in the same number as they depleted the reserve) and may again be used for new Awards under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the following Shares be recredited to the Plan’s reserve: Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option; Shares withheld to satisfy federal, state or local tax withholding obligations; and Shares purchased by the Company using proceeds from Option exercises.

     (d) Participant Limitations. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16, no Participant may be granted Awards that could result in such Participant:

     (i) receiving Options for, and/or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to, more than 750,000 Shares during any fiscal year of the Company;

     (ii) receiving Awards of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units and/or Deferred Stock Rights relating to more than 500,000 Shares during any fiscal year of the Company;

     (iii) receiving Awards of Performance Shares, and/or Awards of Performance Units the value of which is based on the Fair Market Value of Shares, for more than 500,000 Shares during any fiscal year of the Company;

     (iv) receiving Awards of Performance Units the value of which is not based on the Fair Market Value of Shares, for more than $3,000,000 during any fiscal year of the Company; or

     (v) receiving other Stock-based Awards pursuant to Section 11 relating to more than 100,000 Shares during any fiscal year of the Company.

In all cases, determinations under this Section 6(d) should be made in a manner that is consistent with the exemption for performance-based compensation that Code Section 162(m) provides.

     7. Options. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator will determine all terms and conditions of each Option, including but not limited to:

     (a) Whether the Option is an “incentive stock option” which meets the requirements of Code Section 422, or a “nonqualified stock option” which does not meet the requirements of Code Section 422;

     (b) The number of Shares subject to the Option;

     (c) The date of grant, which may not be prior to the date of the Administrator’s approval of the grant;

     (d) The exercise price, which may not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option as determined on the date of grant; provided that an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Stockholder must have an exercise price at least equal to 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option as determined on the date of grant;

     (e) The terms and conditions of exercise; provided that, subject to the provisions of Sections 12 and 16, one-third (1/3) of each Option may not become exercisable earlier than on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the date of grant; and provided further that if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option (as determined on the date of grant of such Option) that become exercisable during a calendar year exceed $100,000, then such Option shall be treated as a nonqualified stock option to the extent such $100,000 limitation is exceeded.

     (f) The term; provided that each Option must terminate no later than ten (10) years after the date of grant and each incentive stock option granted to a 10% Stockholder must terminate no later than five (5) years after the date of grant.

          In all other respects, the terms of any incentive stock option should comply with the provisions of Code section 422 except to the extent the Administrator determines otherwise. If an Option that is intended to be an incentive stock option fails to meet the requirements thereof, the Option shall automatically be treated as a nonqualified stock option to the extent of such failure.

          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Award, vested Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving notice of exercise to the Company in such manner as the Company may prescribe. This notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price in cash or by use of such other instrument as the Administrator may agree to accept.

          Payment of the exercise price, applicable withholding taxes due upon exercise of the Option, or both may be made in the form of Stock already owned by the Participant, which Stock shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised. A Participant who elects to make payment in Stock may not transfer fractional shares or shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the Option exercise price plus applicable withholding taxes. A Participant need not present Stock certificates when making payment in Stock, so long as other satisfactory proof of ownership of the Stock tendered is provided (e.g., attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Stock to pay the exercise price). The Administrator shall have the discretion to authorize or accept payment by other forms or methods or to establish a cashless exercise program, all within such limitations as may be imposed by the Plan or any applicable law.

     8. Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator will determine all terms and conditions of each SAR, including but not limited to:

     (a) Whether the SAR is granted independently of an Option or relates to an Option;

     (b) The number of Shares to which the SAR relates;

     (c) The date of grant, which may not be prior to the date of the Administrator’s approval of the grant;

     (d) The grant price, provided that the grant price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the SAR as determined on the date of grant;

     (e) The terms and conditions of exercise or maturity; provided that, subject to the provisions of Sections 12 and 16, one-third (1/3) of each SAR may not become exercisable or mature earlier than on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the date of grant;

     (f) The term, provided that each SAR must terminate no later than ten (10) years after the date of grant; and

     (g) Whether the SAR will be settled in cash, Shares or a combination thereof.

          If an SAR is granted in relation to an Option, then unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the SAR shall be exercisable or shall mature at the same time or times, on the same conditions and to the extent and in the proportion, that the related Option is exercisable and may be exercised or mature for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option. Upon exercise of any number of SAR, the number of Shares subject to the related Option shall be reduced accordingly and such Option may not be exercised with respect to that number of Shares. The exercise of any number of Options that relate to an SAR shall likewise result in an equivalent reduction in the number of Shares covered by the related SAR.

     9. Performance and Stock Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator will determine all terms and conditions of each award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Rights, Performance Shares or Performance Units, including but not limited to:

     (a) The number of Shares and/or units to which such Award relates;

     (b) Whether, as a condition for the Participant to realize all or a portion of the benefit provided under the Award, one or more Performance Goals must be achieved during such period as the Administrator specifies;

     (c) The period of restriction with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units and the period of deferral for Deferred Stock Rights (which, subject to the provisions of Sections 12 and 16, in each case may not be less than three (3) years from the date of grant);

     (d) The performance period for Performance Awards (which, subject to the provisions of Sections 12 and 16, must be at least one year);

     (e) With respect to Performance Units, whether to measure the value of each unit in relation to a designated dollar value or the Fair Market Value of one or more Shares; and

     (f) With respect to Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units, whether to settle such Awards in cash, in Shares, or a combination thereof.

     During the time Restricted Stock is subject to the Period of Restriction, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Stock and, unless the Administrator shall otherwise provide, the right to receive dividends paid with respect to such Stock.

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, at such time as all restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock Rights or Restricted Stock Units are met and the Restriction Period expires, ownership of the Stock subject to such restrictions shall be transferred to the Participant free of all restrictions except those that may be imposed by applicable law; provided that if Restricted Stock Units are paid in cash, said payment shall be made to the Participant after all applicable restrictions lapse and the Restriction Period expires.

     10. Dividend Equivalent Units. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator will determine all terms and conditions of each award of Dividend Equivalent Units, including but not limited to whether: (a) such Award will be granted in tandem with another Award; (b) payment of the Award be made currently or credited to an account for the Participant which provides for the deferral of such amounts until a stated time; and (c) the Award will be settled in

cash or Shares; provided that Dividend Equivalent Units may be granted only in connection with a “full value” Award as defined in Section 6(c).

     11. Other Stock-Based Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator may grant to Participants other types of Awards, which shall be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Shares, either alone or in addition to or in conjunction with other Awards, and payable in Stock or cash. Without limitation, such Award may include the issuance of shares of unrestricted Stock, which may be awarded in payment of director fees, in lieu of cash compensation, in exchange for cancellation of a compensation right, as a bonus, or upon the attainment of Performance Goals or otherwise, or rights to acquire Stock from the Company. The Administrator shall determine all terms and conditions of the Award, including but not limited to, the time or times at which such Awards shall be made, and the number of Shares to be granted pursuant to such Awards or to which such Award shall relate; provided that any Award that provides for purchase rights shall be priced at 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of the Award.

     12. Effect of Termination on Awards. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or, subject to Section 3(a), as determined by the Administrator at the time of termination of a Participant’s service:

     (a) Termination of Employment or Service. If a Participant’s service with the Company and its Affiliates as an employee or Director ends for any reason other than (i) a termination for Cause, (ii) Retirement, (iii) death or (iv) Disability, then:

     (i) Any outstanding Options or SARs, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date such Participant’s service ends, shall be exercisable no later than ninety (90) days following the Participant’s termination date or, if earlier, the expiration date of the Option or SAR. At the conclusion of such ninety (90) day period, all such Options and SARs then unexercised shall be forfeited.

     (ii) All other Awards made to the Participant, to the extent not then earned or paid to the Participant, shall terminate no later than the Participant’s last day of employment, or service as a Director.

     (i) Any outstanding Options or SARs shall remain outstanding (and shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Award as if the Participant had continued in employment or service) until the earlier of the expiration date of the Award and the fifth anniversary of such Participant’s Retirement date; provided, however, that such extension shall result in the conversion of an incentive stock option to a nonqualified stock option to the extent required under the Code.

     (ii) All Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Rights (that are not Performance Awards) outstanding on the Participant’s Retirement date shall be immediately vested, and any other terms and conditions applicable to such Awards shall be deemed to have lapsed or otherwise been satisfied. Payment for all such Awards shall be made to the Participant in either unrestricted shares of Stock or cash, depending on the payment terms applicable to such Award.

     (iii) All Performance Awards outstanding on the Participant’s Retirement date shall be paid in either unrestricted shares of Stock or cash, as the case may be, following the end of the performance period and based on achievement of the Performance Goals established for such Awards, as if the Participant had not retired.

     (c) Retirement of Other Participants. Upon Retirement of a Participant not covered by Section 12(b):

     (i) Any Options and SARs exercisable on such Participant’s Retirement date shall be exercisable no later than ninety (90) days following such date or, if earlier, the expiration date of the Option or SAR. At the end of such ninety (90) day period, all Options and SARs then unexercised shall be forfeited.

     (ii) All Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Rights (that are not Performance Awards) shall vest on a prorated basis, based on the portion of the restriction or deferral period, as applicable, which the Participant has completed at the time of Retirement and any other terms and conditions applicable to such Awards shall be deemed to have lapsed or otherwise been satisfied.

     (iii) All Performance Awards outstanding on the Participant’s Retirement date shall be paid in either unrestricted shares of Stock or cash, as the case may be, following the end of the performance period and based on achievement of the Performance Goals established for such Awards, as if the Participant had not retired, but prorated based on the portion of the performance period which the Participant has completed at the time of Retirement.

     (d) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies during employment with the Company and its Affiliates or while a Director:

     (i) All outstanding Options and SARS shall be exercisable by the Participant’s estate or the person who has acquired the right to exercise such Awards by bequest or inheritance. The Participant’s estate, or any person who succeeds to the Participant’s benefits under the Plan, shall have up to twelve (12) months following the date of the Participant’s death, or if earlier the expiration date of the Option or SAR, to exercise any outstanding Options or SARs to the same extent the Participant would have been entitled to exercise said Options or SARs on the date of death. At the end of said twelve (12) month period, all Options and SARs then unexercised shall be forfeited.

     (ii) All restrictions on all outstanding Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Units (that are not Performance Awards) shall be deemed to have lapsed on a prorated basis based on the portion of the Restriction Period which the Participant has completed on the date of death.

     (iii) All outstanding Deferred Stock Rights (that are not Performance Awards) shall be vested on a prorated basis based on the portion of the deferral period which the Participant has completed on the date of death.

     (iv) All Performance Awards outstanding on the date of the Participant’s death shall be paid in either unrestricted shares of Stock or cash, as the case may be, following the end of the performance period and based on achievement of the Performance Goals established for such Awards, as if the Participant had not died, but

prorated based on the portion of the performance period which the Participant has completed at the time of death.

     (e) Disability of Participant. If a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates or service as a Director ends due to a Disability, then:

     (i) The Participant shall have up to twelve (12) months, or if earlier the expiration date of the Option or SAR, to exercise any outstanding Options or SARs to the same extent the Participant would have been entitled to exercise said Options or SARs as of the date the Disability determination is effective. At the end of said twelve (12) month period all Options or SARs then unexercised shall be forfeited.

     (ii) All restrictions applicable to an outstanding Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Units (that are not Performance Awards) shall be deemed to have lapsed on a prorated basis, based on the portion of the Restriction Period the Participant completed as of the date of Disability.

     (iii) All outstanding Deferred Stock Rights (that are not Performance Awards) shall be vested on a prorated basis based on the portion of the deferral period which the Participant completed on the date of Disability.

     (iv) All Performance Awards outstanding on the date of the Participant’s Disability shall be paid in either unrestricted shares of Stock or cash, as the case may be, based on the degree to which the Participant had attained the applicable Performance Goals as of the date of such Participant’s Disability.

     (f) Termination for Cause. If a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates or service as a Director is terminated for Cause, all Awards and grants of every type, whether or not then vested, shall terminate no later than the Participant’s last day of employment. The Committee shall have discretion to determine whether this Section 12(f) shall apply, whether the event or conduct at issue constitutes Cause for termination and the date on which Awards to a Participant shall terminate.

     (g) Consultants and Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine, at the time an Award is made, the effect of the termination of service of a Consultant on Awards held by such individual, and the effect on Other Stock-Based Awards of the Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates.

     13. Transferability.

     (a) Restrictions on Transfer. Awards are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and to the extent the Administrator allows a Participant to designate in writing a beneficiary to exercise the Award or receive payment under an Award after the Participant’s death or transfer an Award as provided in subsection (b).

     (b) Permitted Transfers. If allowed by the Administrator, a Participant may transfer the ownership of some or all of the vested or earned Awards granted to such Participant, other than incentive stock options to (i) the spouse, children or grandchildren of such Participant (the “Family Members”), (ii) a trust or trust established for the exclusive benefit of such Family Members, or (iii) a partnership in which such Family Members are the only partners. Any such transfer shall be without consideration and shall be irrevocable. No Award so transferred may

be subsequently transferred, except by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Administrator may create additional conditions and requirements applicable to the transfer of Awards. Following the allowable transfer of a vested Option, such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Option immediately prior to the transfer. For purposes of settlement of the Award, delivery of Stock upon exercise of an Option and the Plan’s Change of Control provisions, however, any reference to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the transferee.

     14. Termination and Amendment of Plan; Amendment, Modification or Cancellation of Awards.

     (a) Term of Plan. Unless the Board earlier terminates this Plan pursuant to Section 14(b), this Plan will terminate on the earlier of the date all Shares reserved for issuance have been issued or February 26, 2018.

     (b) Termination and Amendment. The Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan at any time, subject to the following limitations:

     (i) the Board must approve any amendment of this Plan to the extent the Company determines such approval is required by: (A) action of the Board, (B) applicable corporate law, or (C) any other applicable law;

     (ii) shareholders must approve any amendment of this Plan to the extent the Company determines such approval is required by: (A) Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (B) the Code, (C) the listing requirements of any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded, or (D) any other applicable law; and

     (iii) shareholders must approve any of the following Plan amendments: (A) an amendment to materially increase any number of Shares specified in Section 6(a), 6(b) or the limits set forth in Section 6(d) (except as permitted by Section 16), (B) an amendment to expand the group of individuals that may become Participants, or (C) an amendment that would diminish the protections afforded by Section 14(e) or that would materially change the minimum vesting and performance requirements of an Award as required in the Plan.

     (c) Amendment, Modification or Cancellation of Awards. Except as provided in Section 14(e) and subject to the requirements of this Plan, the Administrator may modify, amend or cancel any Award; or waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any Award or the exercise of the Award, provided that any modification or amendment that materially diminishes the rights of the Participant, or the cancellation of the Award, shall be effective only if agreed to by the Participant or any other person(s) as may then have an interest in the Award, but the Administrator need not obtain Participant (or other interested party) consent for the adjustment or cancellation of an Award pursuant to the provisions of Section 16 or the modification of an Award to the extent deemed necessary to comply with any applicable law, the listing requirements of any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded, or to preserve favorable accounting or tax treatment of any Award for the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, any such amendment shall be made in a manner that will enable an Award intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A to continue to be so exempt, or to enable an Award intended to comply with Code Section 409A to continue to so comply.

     (d) Survival of Authority and Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authority of the Board and the Administrator under this Section 14 and to otherwise administer the Plan will extend beyond the date of this Plan’s termination. In addition, termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Participants with respect to Awards previously granted to them, and all unexpired Awards will continue in force and effect after termination of this Plan except as they may lapse or be terminated by their own terms and conditions.

     (e) Repricing and Backdating Prohibited. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, and except for the adjustments provided in Section 16, neither the Administrator nor any other person may decrease the exercise price for any outstanding Option or SAR after the date of grant nor allow a Participant to surrender an outstanding Option or SAR to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Option or SAR with a lower exercise price. In addition, the Administrator may not make a grant of an Option or SAR with a grant date that is effective prior to the date the Administrator takes action to approve such Award.

     (f) Foreign Participation. To assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed or residing in foreign countries, the Administrator may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Administrator may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan as it determines is necessary or appropriate for such purposes. Any such amendment, restatement or alternative versions that the Administrator approves for purposes of using this Plan in a foreign country will not affect the terms of this Plan for any other country. In addition, all such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions must comply with the provisions of Section 14(b)(ii).

     (g) Code Section 409A. The provisions of Code Section 409A are incorporated herein by reference to the extent necessary for any Award that is subject to Code Section 409A to comply therewith.

     15. Taxes.

     (a) Withholding. In the event the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is required to withhold any Federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in respect of any income recognized by a Participant as a result of the grant, vesting, payment or settlement of an Award or disposition of any Shares acquired under an Award, the Company may deduct (or require an Affiliate to deduct) from any payments of any kind otherwise due the Participant cash, or with the consent of the Committee, Shares otherwise deliverable or vesting under an Award, to satisfy such tax obligations. Alternatively, the Company may require such Participant to pay to the Company, in cash, promptly on demand, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment to the Company of the aggregate amount of any such taxes and other amounts. If Shares are deliverable upon exercise or payment of an Award, the Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or a portion of the Federal, state and local withholding tax obligations arising in connection with such Award by electing to (a) have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under the Award, (b) tender back Shares received in connection with such Award or (c) deliver other previously owned Shares; provided that the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total minimum federal, state and local tax withholding obligations associated with the transaction to the extent needed for the Company to avoid an accounting charge. If an election is provided, the election must be made on or before the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined and otherwise as the Committee requires. In any case, the Company may defer making payment or delivery under any Award if any such tax may be pending unless and until indemnified to its satisfaction.

     (b) No Guarantee of Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan, the Company does not guarantee to any Participant or any other Person with an interest in an Award that (i) any Award intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A shall be so exempt, (ii) any Award intended to comply with Code Section 409A or Code Section 422 shall so comply, (iii) any Award shall otherwise receive a specific tax treatment under any other applicable tax law, nor in any such case will the Company or any Affiliate indemnify, defend or hold harmless any individual with respect to the tax consequences of any Award.

     (c) Participant Responsibilities. If a Participant shall dispose of Stock acquired through exercise of an ISO within either (i) two (2) years after the date the Option is granted or (ii) one (1) year after the date the Option is exercised (i.e., in a disqualifying disposition), such Participant shall notify the Company within seven (7) days of the date of such disqualifying disposition. In addition, if a Participant elects, under Code Section 83, to be taxed at the time an Award of Restricted Stock (or other property subject to such Code section) is made, rather than at the time the Award vests, such Participant shall notify the Company within seven (7) days of the date the Restricted Stock subject to the election is awarded.

     16. Adjustment Provisions; Change of Control.

     (a) Adjustment of Shares. If: (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger or other transaction in which the Shares are changed or exchanged; (ii) the Company shall subdivide or combine the Shares or the Company shall declare a dividend payable in Shares, other securities or other property; (iii) the Company shall effect a cash dividend the amount of which, on a per Share basis, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share at the time the dividend is declared, or the Company shall effect any other dividend or other distribution on the Shares in the form of cash, or a repurchase of Shares, that the Board determines by resolution is special or extraordinary in nature or that is in connection with a transaction that the Company characterizes publicly as a recapitalization or reorganization

involving the Shares; or (iv) any other event shall occur, which, in the case of this clause (iv), in the judgment of the Board or Committee necessitates an adjustment to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, adjust as applicable: (A) the number and type of Shares subject to this Plan (including the number and type of Shares described in Sections 6(a), (b) and (d)) and which may after the event be made the subject of Awards; (B) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards; (C) the grant, purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award; and (D) to the extent such discretion does not cause an Award that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m) to lose its status as such, the Performance Goals of an Award. In each case, with respect to Awards of incentive stock options, no such adjustment may be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause this Plan to violate Code Section 422(b).

          Without limitation, in the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or other similar corporate transaction or event, whether or not constituting a Change of Control (other than any such transaction in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the outstanding Stock is not being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof), the Administrator may substitute, on an equitable basis as the Administrator determines, for each Share then subject to an Award and the Shares subject to this Plan (if the Plan will continue in effect), the number and kind of shares of stock, other securities, cash or other property to which holders of Stock are or will be entitled in respect of each Share pursuant to the transaction.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend declared in lieu of an ordinary cash dividend) or subdivision or combination of the Shares (including a reverse stock split), if no action is taken by the Administrator, adjustments contemplated by this subsection that are proportionate shall nevertheless automatically be made as of the date of such stock dividend or subdivision or combination of the Shares.

     (b) Issuance or Assumption. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and without affecting the number of Shares otherwise reserved or available under this Plan, in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization, the Administrator may authorize the issuance or assumption of awards under this Plan upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate.

     (c) Change of Control. If the Participant has in effect an employment, retention, change of control, severance or similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliate that discusses the effect of a Change of Control on the Participant’s Awards, then such agreement shall control. In all other cases, unless provided otherwise in an Award agreement, in the event of a Change of Control:

     (i) Each Option or SAR that is then held by a Participant who is employed by or in the service of the Company or an Affiliate shall become immediately and fully vested, and, unless otherwise determined by the Board or Committee, all Options and SARs shall be cancelled on the date of the Change of Control in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Change of Control price of the Shares covered by the Option or SAR that is so cancelled over the purchase or grant price of such Shares under the Award;

     (ii) Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Rights (that are not Performance Awards) that are not then vested shall vest;

     (iii) All Performance Awards that are earned but not yet paid shall be paid, and all Performance Awards for which the performance period has not expired shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the amount that would have been due under such Award(s) if the Performance Goals (as measured at the time of the Change of Control) were to continue to be achieved at the same rate through the end of the performance period, or if higher, assuming the target Performance Goals had been met at the time of such Change of Control; and

     (iv) All Dividend Equivalent Units that are not vested shall vest and be paid in cash, and all other Awards that are not vested shall vest and if an amount is payable under such vested Award, such amount shall be paid in cash based on the value of the Award.

          If the value of an Award is based on the Fair Market Value of a Share, Fair Market Value shall be deemed to mean the per share Change of Control price. The Administrator shall determine the per share Change of Control price paid or deemed paid in the Change of Control transaction.

          Except as otherwise expressly provided in any agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, if the receipt of any payment by a Participant under the circumstances described above would result in the payment by the Participant of any excise tax provided for in Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code, then the amount of such payment shall be reduced to the extent required to prevent the imposition of such excise tax.

     17. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Other Terms and Conditions. The grant of any Award may also be subject to other provisions (whether or not applicable to the Award granted to any other Participant) as the Administrator determines appropriate, including, without limitation, provisions for:

     (i) the payment of the purchase price of Options by delivery of cash or other Shares or other securities of the Company (including by attestation) having a then Fair Market Value equal to the purchase price of such Shares, or by delivery (including by fax) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a sufficient portion of the Shares and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company to pay for the exercise price;

     (ii) restrictions on resale or other disposition of Shares; and

     (iii) compliance with federal or state securities laws and stock exchange requirements.

     (b) Employment and Service. The issuance of an Award shall not confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continued employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate, or the right to continue as a Director. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards, the following rules shall apply:

     (i) a Participant who transfers employment between the Company and its Affiliates, or between Affiliates, will not be considered to have terminated employment;

     (ii) a Participant who ceases to be a Non-Employee Director because he or she becomes an employee of the Company or an Affiliate shall not be considered to have ceased service as a Non-Employee Director with respect to any Award until such Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates;

     (iii) a Participant who ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate and immediately thereafter becomes a Non-Employee Director, a non-employee director of an Affiliate, or a consultant to the Company or any Affiliate shall not be considered to have terminated employment until such Participant’s service as a director of, or consultant to, the Company and its Affiliates has ceased; and

     (iv) a Participant employed by an Affiliate will be considered to have terminated employment when such entity ceases to be an Affiliate.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A, if a Participant’s termination of employment or service triggers the payment of compensation under such Award, then the Participant will be deemed to have terminated employment or service upon his or her “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

     (c) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares or other securities may be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan, and the Administrator may determine whether cash, other securities or other property will be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or other securities, or whether such fractional Shares or other securities or any rights to fractional Shares or other securities will be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

     (d) Unfunded Plan. This Plan is unfunded and does not create, and should not be construed to create, a trust or separate fund with respect to this Plan’s benefits. This Plan does not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other person. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under this Plan, such rights are no greater than the rights of the Company’s general unsecured creditors.

     (e) Requirements of Law and Securities Exchange. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares in connection with an Award are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any award agreement, the Company has no liability to deliver any Shares under this Plan or make any payment unless such delivery or payment would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity, and unless and until the Participant has taken all actions required by the Company in connection therewith. The Company may impose such restrictions on any Shares issued under the Plan as the Company determines necessary or desirable to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations or the requirements of any national securities exchanges.

     (f) Governing Law. This Plan, and all agreements under this Plan, will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without reference to any conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any award agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect

of this Plan, any Award or any award agreement, may only be heard in a “bench” trial, and any party to such action or proceeding shall agree to waive its right to a jury trial.

     (g) Limitations on Actions. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any award agreement, must be brought within one year (365 days) after the day the complaining party first knew or should have known of the events giving rise to the complaint.

     (h) Construction. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and wherever any words are used in the singular or plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply. Title of sections are for general information only, and this Plan is not to be construed with reference to such titles.

     (i) Severability. If any provision of this Plan or any award agreement or any Award (i) is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or (ii) would disqualify this Plan, any award agreement or any Award under any law the Administrator deems applicable, then such provision should be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Administrator, materially altering the intent of this Plan, award agreement or Award, then such provision should be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of this Plan, such award agreement and such Award will remain in full force and effect.
