Effective «Grant_Date», pursuant to the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), you have been granted «PSU» Performance Share Units, which constitute the right to receive, if earned pursuant to their terms, the cash equivalent of a number of shares of Common Stock of Textron Inc. determined by a formula and valued as provided in the Performance Share Unit Terms and Conditions (2/2009).

This grant is governed by the Performance Share Unit Terms and Conditions (2/2009) and the Plan (both of which are available on the Textron Enterprise Intranet) and is subject to the Performance Share Unit Non-Competition Agreement (2/2009 version) attached hereto.

The Performance Period is the period beginning with Fiscal Year 2009 and ending with Fiscal Year 2011. Separate performance measures will be established for each fiscal year within the Performance Period, and the performance measures for each fiscal year will apply to one third of the Performance Share Units granted for the Performance Period. The Committee has discretion to reduce the number of units earned for annual performance in each fiscal year. In determining whether to reduce the number of units earned for annual performance in each fiscal year, the Committee expects to apply guidelines based on cumulative performance for all three fiscal years in the Performance Period; but the Committee has discretion to make a downward adjustment that is larger or smaller than the reduction indicated in the guidelines.

The attached document «PSU_Grant_» shows the performance measures and units you can earn based on annual performance for Fiscal Year 2009, which apply to one third of the Performance Share Units granted to you in this award. Performance measures and units you can earn for Fiscal Year 2010 and Fiscal Year 2011 will be established and communicated to you during the first 90 days of each fiscal year.

The attached document also shows the guidelines that the Committee expects to follow in determining whether to reduce the number of units earned each year based on performance for all three fiscal years in the Performance Period. If the Committee elects to make a reduction, the reduction would apply at the end of the Performance Period to all of the units you have earned in each fiscal year during the Performance Period. As a result, any payout you receive at the end of the Performance Period would be based in part on annual performance and in part on performance for the entire Performance Period. The Committee has discretion to make a downward adjustment larger or smaller than the reduction indicated in the attached guidelines.

The cash value of all PSUs will be paid (to the extent earned) following the end of the Performance Period, before March 15. Accordingly, PSUs earned based on annual performance in the first or second year of the Performance Period will be reduced, at the Committee’s discretion, at the end of the third year of the Performance Period, and will not be paid until the 2¹/2 month period following the third year of the Performance Period. All PSUs, including PSUs earned based on annual performance in the first or second year of the Performance Period, remain subject to forfeiture until the end of the Performance Period as provided in the Performance Share Unit Terms and Conditions (2/2009).

By your signature and the Company’s signature below, you and the Company agree that this grant is governed by the attached Performance Share Unit Terms and Conditions (2/2009) and the Plan, both of which are available on the Textron Enterprise Intranet. In addition, you agree that this grant is subject to the Performance Share Unit Non-Competition Agreement (2/2009 version) attached hereto, the terms of which are fully incorporated herein.

TEXTRON INC.
TEXTRON 2007 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(2/2009)
____________________

•		Pursuant to the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Textron has awarded to executive the number of Performance Share Units set forth on the applicable Notice of Grant signed by Textron and Grantee on the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Performance Share Unit constitutes the right to receive cash equal to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock of Textron Inc. for each Performance Share Unit earned by the executive, as determined in accordance with the Plan, the Notice of Grant, the Performance Share Unit Non-Competition Agreement (2/2009), and these Performance Share Unit Terms and Conditions (2/2009). Performance Share Units earned for the Performance Period are based on annual performance for each fiscal year in the Performance Period and may be reduced based on performance for the entire Performance Period. The earned Performance Share Units payable to the executive in accordance with the provisions of this agreement shall be paid solely in cash based on the fair market value of the Common Stock (determined based on the average of the closing prices of Textron’s common stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, for the first ten trading days immediately following the end of the Performance Period).
•		When the applicable Performance Period ends, Textron will issue to the executive cash equal to the aggregate value of the Performance Share Units earned by the executive, reduced by the amount needed to satisfy required statutory minimum withholding taxes. The cash payment shall be made following the end of the Performance Period, before March 15.
•		If the executive’s employment with Textron shall terminate for “Cause,” all Performance Share Units awarded to the executive for which the applicable Performance Period has not ended shall be forfeited (including, but not limited to, Performance Share Units that have already been earned based on annual performance during a fiscal year in the Performance Period).
•		Except as otherwise provided herein, the executive shall forfeit outstanding Performance Share Units (including, but not limited to, Performance Share Units that have already been earned based on annual performance during a fiscal year in the Performance Period) if the executive’s employment with Textron ends for any reason prior to the end of the Performance Period applicable to such Performance Share Units, provided that if the executive’s employment ends (other than for Cause) prior to such date because of “Disability,” death or after the executive has become eligible for “Early or Normal Retirement,” and if the executive has been employed by Textron for at least one year after the beginning of the Performance Period, the executive or the executive’s estate will receive a cash payment (subject to tax withholding) at the end of the Performance Period for (1) the Performance Share Units actually earned for any fiscal year that is completed before the executive’s employment ends, and (2) a “Pro-Rata Portion” of the Performance Share Units for the fiscal year in which the executive’s employment ends (to the extent that the financial performance goals applicable to the Performance Share Units have been

		achieved upon the completion of such fiscal year), subject to a discretionary reduction, in each case, based on performance for all three fiscal years in the Performance Period.
•		Notwithstanding the above, the applicable Performance Period for the Performance Share Units which may be paid pursuant to this Award shall end immediately upon a “Change in Control” of Textron, as defined in the Plan. In such instance, Textron shall pay to the executive (or to the executive’s estate in the event of the executive’s death prior to payment), subject to tax withholding, (1) the value of any Performance Share Units actually earned for any fiscal year that has already ended, and (2) the full value (assuming annual performance at target levels) of the unearned Performance Share Units outstanding for any fiscal year that has not yet ended, without discretionary reduction in either case for performance in all three fiscal years in the Performance Period. The payment shall be made within 30 days after the Change in Control, provided that the accelerated payment does not violate Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. If the accelerated payment of the Award would violate Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the payment shall be made on the date when the Performance Share Unit would have been paid if no Change in Control had occurred. Note: Sale of a business unit usually does not constitute a Change in Control as defined in the Plan.
•		The number of Performance Share Units awarded to the executive hereunder shall be equitably adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or any other corporate event affecting the Common Stock, as provided in the Plan, in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to the Grantee.
•		Nothing in this document shall confer upon the executive the right to continue in the employment of Textron or affect any right that Textron may have to terminate the employment of the executive.
•		The Performance Share Units shall not be assignable or transferable by the executive.
•		The executive shall not have voting rights nor will the executive qualify for dividends with respect to the Performance Share Units during the Performance Period.
•		The Performance Share Units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan in all respects.

DEFINITIONS
“Cause”

“Cause” shall mean: (i) an act or acts of willful misrepresentation, fraud or willful dishonesty (other than good faith expense account disputes) by the executive which in any case is intended to result in his or another person or entity’s substantial personal enrichment at the expense of Textron; (ii) any willful misconduct by the executive with regard to Textron, its business, assets or employees that has, or was intended to have, a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron; (iii) any material, willful and knowing violation by the executive of (x) Textron’s Business Conduct Guidelines, or (y) any of his or her fiduciary duties to Textron which in either case has, or was intended to

have, a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron; (iv) the willful or reckless behavior of the executive with regard to a matter of a material nature which has a material adverse impact (economic or otherwise) on Textron; (v) the executive’s willful failure to attempt to perform his or her duties or his or her willful failure to attempt to follow the legal written direction of the Board, which in either case is not remedied within ten (10) days after receipt by the executive of a written notice from Textron specifying the details thereof; or (vi) the executive’s conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere or guilty to, a felony (other than (x) a traffic infraction or (y) vicarious liability solely as a result of his position provided the executive did not have actual knowledge of the actions or in actions creating the violation of the law or the executive relied in good faith on the advice of counsel with regard to the legality of such action or inaction (or the advice of other specifically qualified professionals as to the appropriate or proper action or inaction to take with regard to matters which are not matters of legal interpretation); No action or inaction should be deemed willful if not demonstrably willful and if taken or not taken by the executive in good faith as not being adverse to the best interests of Textron. Reference in this paragraph to Textron shall also include direct and indirect subsidiaries of Textron, and materiality and material adverse impact shall be measured based on the action or inaction and the impact upon, and not the size of, Textron taken as a whole, provided that after a Change in Control, the size of Textron, taken as a whole, shall be a relevant factor in determining materiality and material adverse impact.

“Performance Period”

For the purposes of this grant, the Performance Period means the period of three fiscal years identified in the Notice of Grant.

“Early or Normal Retirement”

“Early retirement” with Textron is defined as attainment of age 60 or the completion of 20 years of vesting service or the attainment of age 55 with the completion of 10 years of vesting service. “Normal retirement” with Textron is age 65.

“Disability”

“Disability” shall mean, for purposes of this Award, the inability of the executive to engage in any substantial gainful activity due to injury, illness, disease, bodily or mental infirmity which can be expected to result in death or is expected to be permanent. An individual shall not be considered disabled unless executive furnishes proof of the existence thereof. Textron may require the existence or non-existence of a disability to be determined by a physician whose selection is mutually agreed upon by the executive (or his or her representatives) and Textron.

“Pro-Rata Portion”

“Pro-Rata Portion” shall mean the number of complete or partial months of the executive’s active service to Textron during the fiscal year divided by 12. An executive must be employed by Textron for a minimum of one year after the beginning of the Performance Period before pro-rata Performance Share Units may be paid. The Pro-Rata Portion shall apply to one third of the Performance Share Units granted to the executive, shall be payable to an executive only to the extent that the financial performance goals for

the fiscal year are satisfied, and shall be subject to a discretionary reduction at the end of the Performance Period based on performance for all three fiscal years in the Performance Period.

Example: On March 1, 2009, an executive was granted 6,000 Performance Share Units constituting the right to receive the cash equivalent value of 6,000 shares to be paid (to the extent earned) following completion of the 2009-2011 Performance Period. The annual performance goals for each fiscal year during the Performance Period are applicable to 2,000 of the executive’s Performance Share Units.

The performance during 2009 was sufficient to earn 100% of the applicable Performance Share Units for that fiscal year. The executive terminates employment with Textron on August 16, 2010, after having attained age 55 with the completion of 10 years of vesting service.

Because the executive’s age and years of service qualify as ‘early retirement’ and the executive was employed by Textron for one year after the beginning of the performance period, the executive is eligible to receive the cash equivalent of the 2,000 Performance Share Units actually earned in 2009, plus a pro-rata portion of the 2,000 Performance Share Units available for 2010 (provided that the Performance Share Units for 2010 are earned pursuant to their terms), subject to a discretionary reduction based on performance for the entire Performance Period. Assuming that the financial performance goals for 2010 are also satisfied at the 100% level, the number of Performance Share Units earned for 2010 would be calculated as follows:

or Partial Months

At the end of 2011, the cumulative performance for the entire 2009-2011 Performance Period indicates a 17% reduction in the executive’s performance units under the discretionary reduction guidelines. In these circumstances, the Committee expects to reduce the executive’s 3,333 PSUs by 17%, although the Committee has discretion to make a larger or smaller downward adjustment. If the Committee elects to make a 17% reduction in the executive’s PSUs, the executive will be entitled to receive a cash payment (during the first 2¹/2 months of 2012) equal to the value of 2,766 shares of Textron common stock.
