PROXY STATEMENT
 
 
March 23, 20062007
 
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of BorgWarner Inc. (the “Company”) for the 2006Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the Company’s headquarters at 3850 Hamlin Road, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326 on April 26, 200625, 2007 at 9:00 a.m., local time, or at any adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement and accompanying form of proxy are being mailed to stockholders beginning on or about March 23, 2006.2007. The Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 20052006 is enclosed.
 
Record Date and Voting at the Annual Meeting
 
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 3, 20062, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. As of such date, there were 57,214,28257,019,153 issued and 57,210,29857,015,169 outstanding shares of common stock. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote.
 
If you return your signed proxy card or vote by telephone or by the Internet before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. Any proxy returned without specification as to any matter will be voted as to each proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors. You may revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken by delivering to the Secretary of the Company written revocation or a proxy bearing a later date, or by attending and voting at the Annual Meeting.
 
The election inspectors will tabulate the votes cast prior to the meeting and at the meeting to determine whether a quorum is present. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of common stock will constitute a quorum. A quorum is necessary to transact business at the Annual Meeting. Shares of common stock represented by proxies that reflect abstentions or “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by a broker or nominee which are represented at the Annual Meeting, but with respect to which such broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a particular proposal) will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.
 
With respect to the election of Directors, stockholders may (a) vote (a) in favor of all nominees, (b) to withhold votes as to all nominees, or (c) to withhold votes as to specific nominees. Directors are elected by a plurality vote so that the fourthree directors receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. Withheld votes and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.
 
For each other proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote on Proposals 2 and 3. Broker non-votes, however, will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast and, thus, will not affect the outcome of Proposals 2 and 3.

Stockholders of record of the Company may recommend director candidates for inclusion by the Board in the slate of nominees which the Board recommends to stockholders for election. Appropriate biographical information and background material must be submitted to the “BorgWarner Inc. Corporate Governance Committee”c/o BorgWarner Inc. General Counsel, 3850 Hamlin Road, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326 in a timely manner. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material is provided for candidates recommended by stockholders, the Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate those candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as for candidates submitted by Board members. The General Counsel will review the information and provide to the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee an assessment of the candidate’s independence, freedom from conflicts of interest and general suitability. If the Chairman of the Committee decides to submit the candidate to the entire Committee, each member will receive the candidate’s background information and will be afforded an opportunity to interview the candidate.
 
In considering whether to recommend to the full Board any candidate for inclusion in the Board’s slate of recommended director nominees, the Corporate Governance Committee will consider, among other things, the following factors:
 
 • personal and professional ethics, integrity and values;
 
 • the education and breadth of experience necessary to understand business problems and evaluate and postulate solutions;
 
 • interest and availability of time to be involved with the Company and its employees over a sustained period;
 
 • stature to represent the Company before the public, stockholders and various others who affect the Company;
 
 • willingness to objectively appraise management performance in the interest of the stockholders;
 
 • open mindedness on policy issues and areas of activity affecting overall interests of the Company and its stockholders;
 
 • involvement only in activities and interests that do not create a conflict with the director’s responsibilities to the Company and its stockholders;
 
 • ability to evaluate strategic options and risks;
 
 • contribution to the Board’s desired diversity and balance; and
5

 • willingness to limit public company board service to four or fewer boards of public companies, unless the Corporate Governance Committee approves otherwise.otherwise 
 
The Company believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities. If the Corporate Governance Committee determines that a stockholder-nominated candidate is suitable and that the candidate should be recommended to the full Board, a quorum of the full Board must discuss whether to include the candidate in the slate of nominees which the Board recommends to stockholders for election and, if appropriate, adopt a resolution authorizing the inclusion.
 
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees.
You may send communications to your Board of Directors and to individual directors.  Such communications should be submitted in writing addressed to your Board of Directors or to one or more named individual directors in care of BorgWarner Inc., General Counsel, 3850 Hamlin Road, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326.  All such communications will be forwarded promptly to your Board of Directors or such named individual director.

(1)Audit fees consist of fees for professional services performed to comply with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), including the recurring audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This category also includes fees for audits provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or services that generally only the principal auditor reasonably can provide to a client, such as procedures related to audit of income tax provisions and related reserves, consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Audit fees also include fees for professional services rendered for the audits of (i) management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and (ii) the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
(2)Audit-related fees consist of fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This category includes fees related to assistance in financial due diligence related to acquisitions, general assistance with implementation of the new requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, audits of financial statements of employee benefit plans and various attest services.
(3)Tax fees primarily include the aggregate fees billed for professional services provided by Deloitte & Touche in connection with tax compliance and tax planning.
(4)All other fees consist of fees for products and services other than the services reported above.
The Committee has adopted procedures for pre-approving all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of such services. These procedures include reviewing detailedback-up documentation for audit and permitted non-audit services. The documentation includes a description of, and a budgeted amount for, particular categories of non-audit services that are recurring in nature and therefore anticipated at the time that the budget is submitted. Committee approval is required to exceed the pre-approved amount for a particular category of non-audit services and to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for any non-audit services not included in those pre-approved amounts. For both types of pre-approval, the Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules on auditor independence. The Committee also considers whether the independent registered public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, based on such reasons as the auditor’s familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and whether the services enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risks and improve audit quality. The Committee may form and delegate pre-approval authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members of the Committee, and such subcommittees must report any pre-approval decisions to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
  
The Committee has the authority, to the extent that it deems appropriate, to retain independent legal, accounting or other advisors.
 
The Committee provided guidance and oversight to the internal audit function, including the audit plan, and results of internal audit activity. The Director of Internal Audit had routine opportunity to meet with the Committee to discuss any matters desired and met with the Committee at each meeting.

ExecutiveCOMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
General

The primary objectives of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors with respect to executive compensation are to attract and retain the best possible executive talent, to motivate these executives to achieve goals that support the Company’s business strategy (including growth and the creation of long term value), to link executives’ and stockholders’ interests through equity-based plans, and to provide a compensation package that is based on individual performance as well as overall business results. To achieve these objectives, our Compensation Committee has implemented and maintains a compensation program and compensation plans that tie a substantial portion of our executives’ overall compensation to our financial performance, our common stock price, and the achievement of total shareholder return as compared to our industry. Overall, the total compensation opportunity is intended to create an executive compensation program that is set slightly above the median competitive levels of comparable companies in the automotive, transportation and general industry sectors (as described further in the Compensation Benchmarking section) when our performance is at a commensurate above-median competitive level. Overall, our Compensation Committee’s philosophy is to make a greater percentage of an employee’s compensation performance-based as he or she becomes more senior in the organization and to keep base compensation near the median competitive level while providing the opportunity to be well rewarded through performance-based bonuses and equity if the Company performs well over time.

The primary components of our compensation program are base salary, short-term incentives and long-term incentives. Generally, we fix base compensation at a level we believe enables us to hire and retain individuals in a competitive environment and to reward satisfactory individual performance and a satisfactory level of contribution to our overall business goals. We use cash incentives in order to focus our executives on the annual objectives of our long-range plan by rewarding performance achievements over a one-year period (with carry-over opportunity). We use equity incentives to facilitate an ownership culture that encourages long-term performance (over a time horizon of three or more years) and focuses our executives on the maximization of long-term stockholder value. We also
 
The following table shows,

provide our executive officers a variety of benefits that are available generally to all salaried employees in the geographic location where they are based. Additionally, a limited number of executive benefits and perquisites are used based on competitive practices.
We view these components of compensation as related but distinct. Although our Compensation Committee does review total compensation as described below, we do not believe that significant compensation derived from one component of compensation should negate or reduce compensation from other components. We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on competitive benchmarking consistent with our recruiting and retention goals, our view of internal equity and consistency, and other considerations we deem relevant, such as rewarding superior performance.

Our Compensation Committee performs at least annually a strategic review of our executive officers’ compensation. During this review, our Compensation Committee evaluates our compensation philosophy and objectives to ensure that they continue to reflect our business objectives, competitive realities and our Board’s determination of the best interests of stockholders. Our Compensation Committee then determines whether our compensation programs are meeting these objectives, providing adequate incentives and motivation to our executive officers and adequately compensating our executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for executives. Also as part of this strategic review, our Compensation Committee determines the compensation of our 17 corporate officers including our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and the three other officers whose compensation is detailed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 20(the “Named Executive Officers”). For compensation decisions, including decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation, relating to executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, our Compensation Committee considers recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer. At the request of the Compensation Committee, materials for Committee meetings are prepared by our Vice President, Human Resources with assistance from the compensation consultant engaged by the Committee, Hewitt Associates, LLC (“Hewitt”) in 2006. Our Compensation Committee’s most recent strategic review occurred in October 2006 for the years ended December 31,2007 plan year in an extended session. The Committee consulted with our Chief Executive Officer during this session regarding the compensation of our 16 other corporate officers.

All equity awards to our employees, including executive officers, and to our directors have been granted and reflected in our consolidated financial statements, based upon the applicable accounting guidance, at fair market value on the grant date in accordance with the valuation determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity compensation on specified dates. Generally, awards of performance shares have been made in February and awards of stock options have been made in July in conjunction with regularly scheduled Board of Director meetings that coincide with earnings releases for the applicable period.

Compensation Benchmarking
    Our Compensation Committee believes that benchmarking is a useful tool because it is a reflection of the market in which we compete for talent and provides credibility for our compensation programs with both our employees and our stockholders. However, benchmarking should not be the only criteria used in compensation decisions. For example, in instances where an executive officer is uniquely key to our success, our Compensation Committee may provide compensation in excess of these benchmarks.

As part of our compensation benchmarking, each year our Compensation Committee engages an outside consultant, Hewitt in 2006, to compare the total compensation levels (including base salary, annual bonus, and long-term incentives) for our executive officers to the compensation practices of a comparator group with whom we compete for talent. For 2006, the Compensation Committee established that the comparator group (“Comparator Group”) used for benchmarking executive officer compensation should include companies with revenues of $15 billion or less in the automotive, transportation and general industrial sectors with general industrial companies comprising no more than 25% of the total group. The group used for establishing 2006 compensation levels consisted of the following thirty-three companies: AMSTED Industries Inc., BAE Systems, Inc., Ball Corporation, Brunswick Corporation, Cummins Inc., Dana Corporation, Denso International America Inc., Donaldson Company Inc., Dover Corporation, Eastman Chemical Company, Eaton Corporation, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.,

Freightliner LLC, Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Illinois Tool Works Inc., International Truck and Engine Corporation, Ispat Inland, Inc., ITT Industries, Inc., Kennametal Inc., Metaldyne Corporation, PACCAR Inc., Parker Hannifin Corporation, Polaris Industries Inc., Praxair Inc., Robert Bosch Corporation, The Sherwin-Williams Company, SPS Technologies Inc., Stewart & Stevenson Services Inc., Thyssen Krupp Budd Company, The Timken Company, TRW Automotive Inc., Valmont Industries, Inc., and Worthington Industries, Inc. Due to the differences in size among the comparator companies, a form of analysis known as regression was used in order to normalize the survey results for the size of our Company.
    Generally, our executive compensation program targets base salary at the 50th percentile of the Comparator Group, annual bonus at the 65th percentile of the Comparator Group, and long-term incentives at the 65th percentile of the Comparator Group. We believe that these percentiles reflect consideration of our stockholders’ interests in paying what is necessary, but not significantly more than necessary, to achieve our corporate goals. We also believe that these percentiles provide for a competitive level of base compensation at the midpoint of the market and place a higher level of compensation potential (65th percentile) on direct performance-based components (bonus and long-term incentives). Further, the achievement of a 65th percentile payout under the 2005 2004 and 2003,2006 performance share grants is predicated on our total shareholder return over a three year period being at the cash65th percentile of our peers.

    In addition to the data provided by Hewitt for 2006, our Compensation Committee also considered: (i) the compensation reported for the chief executive officers of the companies we used to compare our stockholder returns for 2005, which is reflected on the stock performance graph in the Proxy statement filed March 2006 as the “Former Peer Group Companies”, namely, ArvinMeritor Inc., Autoliv Inc., Cummins Engine Inc., Dana Corporation, Delphi Corporation, Dura Automotive Systems Inc., Eaton Corporation, Johnson Controls Inc., Lear Corporation, Magna International Inc., Modine Manufacturing Co., Tenneco Automotive Inc., Tower Automotive Inc., and Visteon Corporation, and (ii) the compensation reported for the CEOs and other executives in the 2005 Automotive Industry Executive, Board and Stock-Based Compensation study conducted by the consulting firm of Watson Wyatt Worldwide. For 2006, our Compensation Committee determined there was no significant difference between the compensation data reported in the Comparator Group, the Former Peer Group Companies and the Watson Wyatt Worldwide study.

Components of Compensation

The key elements of our executive compensation program are base salary, short-term (annual) incentives and long-term incentives. Additionally, a limited number of executive benefits and perquisites are used based on competitive practices.
Base Salary

Base salaries for our executives are established based on the scope of the executive’s responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions.  Base salaries are reviewed annually, and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, individual and business unit performance, and experience. As part of that review, and with respect to its assessment of the Company andindividual performance of our Named Executive Officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer), our Compensation Committee may take into account the views of our Chief Executive Officer.

Based on its subsidiaries, as well as certain otherreview of the compensation paid or accrued for these years,data described above, including the data provided by Hewitt, our Compensation Committee determined that, relative to the Company’sComparator Group, our executive compensation levels were below the targets set forth in our executive compensation program. Specifically, our Compensation Committee found that the 2005 base salaries for our Named Executive Officers were significantly below the median of the Comparator Group, with the shortfall ranging from 13% to 30% below the target 50th percentile. Our Compensation Committee determined that Corporate and individual performance was strong for all Named Executive Officers and, given that determination, concluded that base salaries for 2006 should be moved toward the market median in order to recognize past achievements and continue to retain executives. Our Compensation Committee also determined that the base compensation for our business unit Presidents should begin to be distinguished by size of the respective business unit and scope of responsibility, whereas in the previous year, they were maintained on a comparable level. Based on this assessment, and on the competitive data, our Compensation
11

Committee granted base salary adjustments in 2006 to all of our Named Executive Officers, including a 20% increase in the base compensation for our Chief Executive Officer. These increases generally moved the base compensation of our Named Executive Officers closer to the 50th percentile of the Comparator Group, with our Chief Executive Officer remaining approximately 6% below the 50th percentile of the market.

 Our Compensation Committee’s review of the 2007 base salaries for our Named Executive Officers occurred in October 2006 as noted above. Due to the competitive pressures in the North American automotive industry, a recommendation was made by our Chief Executive Officer and certain executive officers.accepted by our Compensation Committee to freeze the base salary for our Chief Executive Officer and all of the Named Executive Officers in 2007.

Short-Term Incentives

The Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) is our cash-based, annual incentive plan for executives.  The primary purposes of the MIP are: (i) to focus key managers on creating economic value ("EV") for the Company; (ii) to reinforce teamwork and collaboration among key managers of the Company by having the management team at each business unit measured by the business results they achieve together; (iii) to deliver competitive awards for key managers when economic value objectives are achieved or surpassed; and (iv) to attract and retain key managers by enabling participants in the MIP to share in the success of the Company.  Actual performance under our MIP is measured annually from January 1 to December 31. Our Compensation Committee determines any earned MIP bonuses for any given fiscal year after review of the actual performance in relation to pre-established targets for that fiscal year. Ordinarily, bonuses are paid in a single installment in the first quarter following the completion of a given fiscal year. The MIP is designed so that bonus compensation determined thereunder is considered qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).

The performance measure used in the MIP is EV. We have chosen this measure because we consider EV to be the foundation on which we operate and a very dynamic measure of how well we turn investment into profit. It is based on the concept that a business can be financially strong in the long run only if it consistently earns enough to cover its operating cost and, at the same time, produces enough additional earnings to cover its cost of capital or pay interest on debt and provide the required return to its stockholders. We consider any amount that exceeds these requirements to truly be additional economic value.  Although annual bonuses currently depend primarily on the achievement of EV objectives, our Compensation Committee may adjust bonus measures and awards based on other financial or non-financial measures that it believes will benefit long-term stockholder value. No such adjustments were made for the 2006 bonuses paid in the first quarter of 2007.

The formula used in the MIP is as follows: Economic Value = After-Tax Operating Income - (Average Operating Investment x Cost of Capital). We define “After-Tax Operating Income” as income prior to interest and finance charges net of income taxes calculated at a fixed composite statutory rate. We define “Average Operating Investment” for each business unit as the sum of the assets employed in the business less operating liabilities such as accounts payable, accruals, and long-term liabilities other than debt. We define “Average Operating Investment” for the Company to be the sum of debt, minority interest, and stockholders equity less cash and cash equivalents and 1987 leveraged buy-out (“LBO”) related goodwill. We define “Cost of Capital” as the rate of return on capital invested required to compensate debt and equity investors.

We expect each of our business units to increase its economic value each year. Accordingly, a range of performance expectations (Threshold, Target and Maximum) is set by management and approved by our Compensation Committee, three years at a time, for our Company and each of our business units. Generally, the Threshold is set at a level that is greater than or equal to the EV at the end of the prior period. At the time the performance expectations are set, there is substantial uncertainty as to whether they will be met. In each of the second and third years of the three-year cycle, the Threshold value remains constant and the Target and Maximum values are adjusted upward each year by 1% and 2%, respectively, of the operating investment at the beginning of the three-year cycle.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE   Because the performance objectives under our MIP are determined three years at a time rather than annually, our MIP is a very challenging plan for our executives and forces our key managers to find ways to generate and sustain economic growth over an extended period.

In order to encourage a longer-term perspective in decision-making while continuing to reward participants for the achievement of annual goals, our MIP includes a “Carryover Bonus” feature that allows participants to earn, over the following two-year period, any MIP bonus opportunity (up to specified maximum limits) that was not attained during the current plan year. Thus, if the Maximum bonus opportunity is not earned in a given year, then the amount of the shortfall can be earned over the next two years (50% each year) by achieving the cumulative value targets during those two years. However, no Carryover Bonus from a prior year is earned if the Threshold level of performance for the current year is not achieved. Because the carryover opportunity is available in addition to the basic bonus opportunity for the next two years, in a given year, the Carryover Bonus from prior years may increase the annual bonus opportunity of the executive officers above the regular target levels.
Stock Options
Based on our compensation philosophy, competitive market data and internal equity considerations, in November 2005, for the 2006 plan year, our Compensation Committee approved target bonus opportunities ranging from 70% to 120% of base salary for our Named Executive Officers.  Our Named Executive Officers receive 50% of the Target opportunity for achieving Threshold performance and 200% of the Target opportunity for achieving Maximum performance or above.  Results in between these levels are interpolated.

The bonus opportunity for each officer is further defined by the portion of the business unit he or she has direct accountability for, as well as the group and corporate results.
 
For our Named Executive Officers with corporate-wide responsibility, including the BERU acquisition, 90% of the bonus opportunity is based on the increase in EV of the Company and 10% is based on the increase of EV of BERU (not currently included with corporate earnings for purposes of calculating incentive compensation). In January 2005, BorgWarner acquired a majority stake in BERU, a leading global supplier of diesel cold starting technology, gasoline ignition technology, and electronic control units and sensor technology.

For those Named Executive Officers responsible for a business unit, 15% of the bonus opportunity is based on the increase in EV of the business group (Engine or Drivetrain) and 55% is based on the increase in EV of the assigned business unit. For those Named Executive Officers in the Drivetrain Group, the remaining 30% of the bonus opportunity is based on the increase in EV of the Company. Of the remaining 30% of the bonus opportunity for those Named Executive Officers in the Engine Group, 20% is based on the increase in EV of the Company and 10% is based on the increase in EV of BERU, whose operating results are reported within the Engine Group.

In February 2007, our Compensation Committee determined that, for purposes of our MIP, during 2006 the economic value of our Company in total increased by $5.4 million. However, certain business units had decreases in EV, which were offset by increases in others. After reviewing the performance of the individual business units for which each of our Named Executive Officers were individually responsible, it was determined that Ms. Niekamp’s business unit achieved below the Threshold EV level, Mr. Weber’s business unit achieved between the Threshold and Target EV levels, and Mr. Wood’s business unit achieved between the Target and Maximum EV levels set for 2006 in February 2005 for the three year performance cycle of 2005 to 2007. Based on all of these determinations, cash MIP bonuses were paid to all of our Named Executive Officers for 2006. A portion of the bonus payments for Messrs. Manganello, Adams, Wood and Weber included carryover from the previous year. For details of these amounts, as well as further information regarding the 2006 MIP bonuses paid to our Named Executive Officers, see the Summary Compensation Table on page 20.
Consistent with our objectives and compensation programs, in October 2006, our Compensation Committee approved the target bonus opportunities for our executive officers for 2007.  These target bonus opportunities range 
13

from 85% to 125% of base salary for our Named Executive Officers.  The target bonus opportunities reflect the approximated 65th percentile of annual bonus levels for similar positions in the Comparator Group.  The specific bonus opportunities depend on the position of the Named Executive Officer, taking into consideration any variations from the external position benchmarking and the ability of each Named Executive Officer to significantly affect our operations and performance beyond the role normally associated with his or her position.  The final bonus amounts paid, if any, will be determined by our Compensation Committee based on achievement of the performance measures.
Long-Term Incentives

We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that focuses our executives on the maximization of long-term stockholder value. Our long-term incentive plans have been established and operated to provide certain of our employees, including our executive officers, with appropriate incentives to help align their interests with the interests of our stockholders. Furthermore, our stock compensation plans have provided a method for our executive officers to acquire equity interests in our Company and comply with our stock ownership guidelines.

ESPP. The Executive Stock Performance Plan (“ESPP”) was approved by our stockholders and became effective on April 18, 1995. Under the terms of the ESPP, the final award of units was made in February 2004 for the three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2004 and ending on December 31, 2006. Therefore the final payment under the ESPP was made in February 2007 for the 2004 to 2006 performance period.

    The ESPP was designed to provide competitive payouts at the end of a three-year period relative to how well we perform against our peer group, defined as publicly traded companies in the automotive supplier industry with at least $1 billion in sales that we believe compete with us for stockholder investment dollars, in terms of total shareholder return (“TSR”). For the final 2004 grant, the Former Peer Group Companies (as defined on page 11 above) were used. The performance objective of this plan is to make our common stock among the most attractive stocks to those who invest in automotive supplier companies. Therefore, in order for participants to earn a target award, the performance of our common stock must be at the 65th percentile of the TSR performance over a three-year period when compared to the peer group companies.

TSR is determined by the change in the value of our common stock (including dividends) over its starting value. The cumulative, compounded TSR over a three-year performance period is determined using the following table sets forth informationformula:
Share price at end of period - Share price at start of period + Dividends per share during period
Share price at start of period

The resultant percentage would then be ranked against the TSRs of our peer group companies for the same period.

The target award under this plan is determined at the beginning of the performance period. The award is expressed in terms of performance units, each having an initial value of $1,000 per unit. The final value of each performance unit will be determined only after the close of the performance period. There is no annual vesting of the target awards under this plan.

The actual value of each unit at the time of payout can range from $0 to a maximum of $1,750, depending on our TSR performance at the end of the three-year period relative to the percentile distribution of TSR performance for the peer group companies.

Interpolation is used to calculate the value of each unit when our TSR performance, relative to the peer group, is in between the percentiles shown above.
In order to facilitate ownership of our common stock by our executives and better align our executives' interests with respectour stockholders’ interests, 60% of the total award is paid in the form of our common stock. The shares are issued during the first quarter after the three-year cycle has ended. The number of shares paid is determined by the following formula:

Total Award X 60%
Average closing price of our common stock on the last five trading days of the three-year performance period

Forty percent of the ESPP award is paid in cash since the full amount of the ESPP award is subject to income tax in the year in which it is received.
SIP. All long-term incentive grants awarded in 2006 (performance shares and stock options) were awarded under the BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan or the BorgWarner Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively the “SIP”). Although the SIP provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares and performance units, our Compensation Committee has determined to rely primarily on grants of stock options made during 2005and performance shares. By utilizing these two vehicles, executives are motivated by both growth in the Company’s stock price and by total shareholder return as compared to our industry.

     As discussed above, the target awards (in dollars) for our executives are based on the 65th percentile market value, with grant sizes (in shares) based on a valuation methodology calculated by Hewitt. This methodology is the same one used by Hewitt in their market study to value equity compensation consistently between companies. Based on its review of the market data described above, our Compensation Committee determined that, relative to the namedComparator Group, our long term incentive levels were significantly below the 65th percentile targets set forth in our executive officers.compensation program. Based on this and our need to meet our objectives to retain and motivate these executives, our Compensation Committee elected to make appreciable movement toward the 65th percentile target for the Named Executive Officers in 2006 with the intention of reaching the 65th percentile in 2007. The resulting grants in 2006 moved our Named Executive Officers to between the approximated 50th and 64th percentile of the market.

    Within the long-term incentive opportunity, two-thirds of total value is delivered through performance shares and one-third of total value is delivered through stock options. Due to the significant challenges in the automotive industry, our Compensation Committee has determined to place the greater emphasis on performance shares because of its belief that this long-term incentive vehicle provides a more direct comparison of our performance to the performance of our peers within our industry while firmly aligning our executives’ interests with the interests of our stockholders.

In 2006, performance shares were granted to our Named Executive Officers in February to coincide with the beginning of the three-year performance period and stock options were granted to our Named Executive Officers in July, at the same time as grants have historically been made to our other executives and employees. As discussed earlier, our Compensation Committee reviews officers' total compensation in October and approves compensation

for the coming year in November. In order to better align all of the components of executive compensation, our Compensation Committee has determined to move the annual granting of all stock options to the February following such November approval beginning in 2007. So in February 2007, the number of performance shares and options granted to each officer was determined by dividing the total compensation for such officer that was approved in November 2006, by the average closing price of our common stock for the last five trading days in 2006. In accordance with the SIP, the exercise price for the stock options was set at the average of the high and low price of our common stock on the date the options were actually granted in February 2007.

Performance Shares. The issuance of performance shares under the SIP was intended to replace the ESPP, which ended on December 31, 2004. The awarding of performance shares has many of the same characteristics as the ESPP. Like the ESPP, the granting of performance shares is designed to provide competitive payouts at the end of a three-year period relative to how well we perform against the peer group companies in terms of TSR. In order for participants to earn a target award, the performance of our common stock must be at the 65th percentile of the TSR performance over a three-year period when compared to the peer group companies. However, the key difference in the granting of performance shares is that the payout at the end of the three-year performance period is based on both the TSR performance and the stock price at the end of the period, whereas the ESPP only relied on TSR performance. This provides an additional link to stockholder value.

      A new performance period begins each January 1 and ends three years later on December 31. As a result, up to three performance periods may overlap in a given year.

For the 2005 performance share award, the Former Peer Group Companies were designated as the comparator group. In 2006, the Compensation Committee approved a new set of Peer Group Companies based on the following criteria: auto industry exposure, sales over the last 12 months (by geography), market capitalization, and existing company analyst coverage of peer groups. A listing of the Peer Group Companies can be found on page 22. This revision was prompted by the significant change in companies in the automotive sector due to bankruptcies and mergers. Our Board of Directors reserves the right to modify the list at any time in order to ensure that the peer group remains relevant as a measure for TSR performance.

The target award is determined at the beginning of the performance period. The award is expressed in terms of performance shares. The actual shares awarded for 2006 are detailed on page 22 in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table. The final value of each performance share will be determined only after the close of the performance period. There is no annual vesting of the target awards under this plan.

The actual number of performance shares issued at the time of payout will range from 0% to a maximum of 175% of target, depending on our TSR performance at the end of the three-year period relative to the percentile distribution of TSR performance for the other companies in the peer group.

Total Award X 60%
Average closing price of our common stock on the last five business days of the three-year performance period

Forty percent of the award is paid in cash since the full amount of the award is subject to income tax in the year in which it is received.

Stock Options.  Our stock options are rights to purchase (“exercise”) shares of our common stock at a specified price (“exercise price”) after fulfilling certain conditions during a specified period of time (“option term”). The value of a stock option changes as the share price of our common stock increases or decreases in relation to the exercise price. The exercise price per share of stock purchasable under a stock option is determined by the fair market value on the day of grant. The fair market value is the average of the highest and lowest reported sales price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. This method is used to mitigate any major fluctuations in the stock price that could occur during a typical day of trading in the stock market.

The following table sets forth information with respectoption term is ten years from the date of grant and each stock option grant is subject to a two-step vesting period. One-half of the named executive officers concerningstock option grant will become available for exercise on the second anniversary of the grant and the remainder of the grant will become available for exercise on the third anniversary of stock options during 2005 and concerning unexercised options held at December 31, 2005.

Executive Benefits and Perquisites 
General. Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans (such as medical, dental and vision care plans; flexible spending accounts for healthcare; life, accidental death and dismemberment and disability insurance; employee assistance programs (confidential counseling); a defined contribution retirement plan including a 401(k) feature; and paid time off), in each case on the same basis as our other employees. The following table sets forth information with respectretirement plans described below are provided to executives in order to permit them to accumulate funds for retirement and to provide a competitive retirement package as compared to other companies. Additionally, as described below, a limited number of executive perquisites are used, also based on competitive practices. Our Compensation Committee in its discretion may revise, amend or add to an officer’s executive benefits and perquisites if it deems it advisable. We believe that the benefits and perquisites we provide our executives are currently at or below median competitive levels for comparable companies.
    The additional executive perquisites available to our Named Executive Officers include a company-leased vehicle, financial counseling, and personal use of corporate aircraft. Each of our Named Executive Officers is eligible for a new vehicle every three years. In addition to the namedcost of the lease, we pay for the cost of insurance, vehicle license, taxes, and maintenance. Financial counseling and annual income tax preparation services are provided to our Named Executive Officers through a third-party service. We do not encourage the personal use of our corporate aircraft. Personal use of our corporate aircraft was less than 1% of the total corporate aircraft flight time in 2006.

Other executive officers concerning long-term incentive plan awards made during 2005 pursuantbenefits available to our Named Executive Officers include the BorgWarner Automotive, Inc. Retirement Savings Excess Benefit Plan (“Excess Plan”) and the BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Deferred Compensation Plan (“Deferred Compensation Plan”), which are further described below. See “Non-Qualified Retirement Plan” and “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” below and on page 26.
Qualified Retirement Plan. Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the BorgWarner Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (“RSP”), which is available to all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees. The RSP is comprised of two components: a Company Retirement Account and a Savings Account with a match feature. In the Company Retirement Account, the Company makes a contribution to the Plan.

employee’s account each pay period based on years of service and eligible pay ranging from 4% to 6% of compensation up to the Social Security wage base and from 8% to 11.5% of compensation above the Social Security wage base. In the Savings Account, participants may make contributions to the plan of 1% to 28% of their eligible earnings on a before-tax and/or after-tax basis (up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit on pre-tax contributions under the Internal Revenue Code). The Company will match 100% of the first 3% of the employee’s pre-tax contributions. Participants who are 50 years of age or
 
17

older may contribute additional amounts based on the statutory limits for catch-up contributions. Pre-tax contributions by participants to the plan and the income earned on those contributions are generally not taxable to participants until withdrawn. Participant contributions are held in trust as required by law. All employee contributions are 100% vested when contributed, and any employer contributions vest 100% after three years of service.

     Pension Benefits.  Except as described below on page 25, none of our Named Executive Officers participate in or have account balances in any of the qualified or non-qualified defined benefit pension plans sponsored by us.
(a)Performance shares represent and have a value equal to one share of common stock.
(b)Payouts under the Plan are based upon the percentile rank of the total shareholder return of the Company among the total shareholder returns of a peer group of companies. Total shareholder return is based on a formula relating to market price appreciation of the Company’s common stock and dividend return as compared to the peer group companies’ stock market price appreciation and dividend returns.

     Non-Qualified Retirement Plan. The Excess Plan is an unfunded, non-qualified plan, which keeps certain highly compensated employees whole (on a non-qualified basis) in terms of the Company Retirement Account contribution and matching contribution described above, which are otherwise limited under the RSP by Internal Revenue Code provisions. Participation is automatic once these limits are reached in a plan year. All of our Named Executive Officers received Company contributions under the Excess Plan in 2006.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation. The Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified plan, which allows executives to defer from 1% to 20% of their salary and up to 100% of their bonus, thus realizing current year tax savings. None of our Named Executive Officers made deferrals into the Deferred Compensation Plan in 2006. Mr. Wood has an account balance in the Deferred Compensation Plan from deferrals made prior to his appointment as an officer of the Company.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

Change of Control Employment AgreementsAgreements. 
The Company hasWe have entered into Change of Control Employment Agreements (the “Change of Control Employment Agreements”) with each of our Named Executive Officers. In establishing the Change of Control Agreements, our Board of Directors determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders (i) to assure that we will have the continued dedication of our Named Executive Officers in the event of the threat or occurrence of a Change of Control, and (ii) to diminish the inevitable distraction of our Named Executive Officers by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control. The terms of the existing Change of Control Agreements were established several years ago for the foregoing reasons. A recent study has been completed by our Human Resources Department in conjunction with Hewitt Associates at the request of our Compensation Committee to assess competitive market practices of companies in the Comparator Group, in the industry and in Fortune 500 companies. As a result of that study, our Compensation Committee approved revisions with respect to future Change of Control Agreements.  These changes do not impact our current Named Executive Officers. See pages 27 and 28 for further details of our current Change of Control Agreements.

 Severance Benefits. Each of our Named Executive Officers is eligible for severance benefits under the BorgWarner Inc. Transitional Income Plan (“TIP”). The TIP was established to provide some financial protection to all U.S. salaried employees in the event that their employment is terminated for reasons beyond their control. The TIP benefit includes a lump sum payment that is based on salary level and length of service with us (with a maximum benefit of twenty-six weeks of base salary, adjusted for unemployment benefits) and medical coverage.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

In order to promote equity ownership and further align the interests of our management and our stockholders, we have established stock ownership guidelines that request our executives to hold a significant and sustained long-term personal financial interest in the Company. Our stock ownership guidelines, which apply to all of our officers including our Named Executive Officers, request that our officers own and continuously hold a minimum level of stock as long as we employ them. The levels of requested stock ownership for our Named Executive Officers are as follows:

Chief Executive Officer: an amount of stock with a market value equal to three times the average of the annualized salary plus target bonus (as of December 31) for the prior three years.

Chief Financial Officer and Business Unit Presidents: an amount of stock with a market value equal to two times the average of the annualized salary plus target bonus (as of December 31) for the prior three years. 
18

    Each of our Named Executive Officers is expected to fulfill this goal within five years of his or her appointment as an officer. Moreover, enough stock must be secured during each of the first five years to demonstrate progress toward fulfilling the goal by year five.

Our Insider Trading and Confidentiality Policy prohibits our directors and employees from engaging in any transaction involving a put, call or other option on BorgWarner Securities or from selling any BorgWarner Securities he or she does not own; i.e., “selling short.”

Our Compensation Committee reviews the ownership level for our Chief Executive Officer and all other persons covered under this guideline each year. Our Board of Directors reserves the right to determine what action will be taken if a covered individual does not meet the requested ownership guidelines. All of our Named Executive Officers met the requested stock ownership guidelines in 2006.

Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code places a limit on the deduction as a business expense of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain “covered employees” of a publicly held corporation (generally, our Chief Executive Officer and our next four most highly compensated executive officers. officers in the year that the compensation is paid). Compensation that is “performance-based compensation” generally does not count toward Section 162(m)’s $1 million limit.

Our compensation plans are designed so that bonus compensation determined there under qualifies as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m). Our Compensation Committee is comprised solely of “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

The awards reflected in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table are granted under the SIP. Further details regarding BorgWarner’s incentive plans can be found in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 15-16.
The Peer Group for the Performance Share Plan includes publicly traded companies in the automotive supplier industry with at least $1 billion in sales that compete for stockholder investment dollars. For the performance period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008, the Peer Group includes the following companies:

    ArvinMeritor Inc.
Johnson Controls Inc.Tenneco Automotive Inc.
    American Axle
Lear CorporationTRW Automotive Inc.
    Autoliv Inc.
Magna International Inc.Visteon Corporation
    Gentex Corporation
Modine Manufacturing Co.
Our Board of Directors reserves the right to modify the list at any time in order to ensure that the Peer Group remains relevant as a measure for TSR performance in the automotive supply industry due to changes in a peer company’s performance.
To the extent a stock option is exercisable in the event of death of the option holder, the option may be exercised for a period of one year from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. To the extent a stock option is exercisable in the event of disability or retirement, the option may be exercised for a period of three years from the date of such disability or retirement or until the expiration of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. Our Compensation Committee may elect to accelerate the exercise date of a stock option in the event of employment termination, such as due to death, disability, or retirement. Stock options granted in 2005 and 2006 provided for immediate vesting in the event of retirement as defined under the Plan. Stock options granted in 2007 provided for immediate vesting in the event of death or disability. Our Compensation Committee decided to incorporate these provisions into these award agreements in order to provide for consistency in the acceleration of options in the event of retirement, death or disability. Our Compensation Committee took competitive practice into consideration.
22

If an option-holder incurs a termination of employment due to Cause, any stock options held by the option-holder will terminate. If termination of employment is voluntary and without cause, any vested and unexercised stock options may be exercised for a period of five business days from the date of termination or until expiration of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. If termination of employment is involuntary and without cause, any vested and unexercised stock options may be exercised for one year or until the expiration of the stock option, whichever period is shorter.

In the event of a Change of Control, during the sixty day period from and after a Change of Control, our Compensation Committee may allow the option-holder to surrender all or part of his or her options to the Company and receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the Change of Control price and the exercise price of the option, less appropriate tax withholdings. However, if the Change of Control is within six months of the date of grant to an officer or director subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, then the election cannot be made prior to six months from the date of grant.

  Regarding adjustments to shares, in the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary distribution with respect to the stock or other change in corporate structure affecting the stock, our Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors may make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number, kind and option price of shares or adjustments in the consideration receivable upon exercise as it may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion.

(1) The stock options noted with expiration dates of 2011, 2012 and 2013 are fully vested. Stock options with an expiration date of April 26, 2014 are 50% vested, with the other 50% due to vest on April 26, 2007. Stock options with an expiration date of July 28, 2014 are 50% vested, with the other 50% due to vest on July 28, 2007. Stock options with an expiration date of 2015 will vest 50% on July 27, 2007 and 50% on July 27, 2008. Stock options with an expiration date of 2016 will vest 50% on July 26, 2008 and 50% on July 26, 2009.
(2) The values of columns (i) and (j) are comprised of performance share grants made under the SIP, issued for the performance periods of 2005-2007 and 2006-2008. Column (i) represents the number of all outstanding unearned performance shares that would be paid out at the end of each performance period if maximum TSR performance is achieved. The maximum value was assumed based on actual performance over the most recent period falling between the target and maximum levels. Column (j) represents the number of performance shares in column (i) times the closing stock price of $59.02 on December 29, 2006. Actual future payouts will depend on several factors, including (i) the number of performance shares that are earned, as determined after the end of the performance period based on the level at which the applicable performance goals have been achieved, as described on pages 14 -16; and (ii) the fair market value of stock, as defined in the Plan.

(1) No Named Executive Officer exercised vested stock options during the 2006 fiscal year. 
(2) Number of "shares" disclosed in column (d) represents the total number of units earned for the 2004-2006 performance period of the ESPP and paid in 2007.
(3) Amount in column (e) is equal to the number of units vested multiplied by $1,126. 

As previously stated in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the ESPP is a long-term incentive plan designed to provide competitive payouts at the end of a three-year period relative to how well the Company performs against its Peer Group Companies in TSR.
At the end of the 2004 to 2006 performance period, the Company’s TSR was at the 73rd percentile relative to the Peer Group TSR. As a result, the value realized upon vesting for the Named Executive Officers was calculated at $1,126 per unit. See page 15 for a detailed explanation of how this amount is calculated. The gross value of the payouts, before taxes, is reflected above in column (e) of the table.

The payout from the ESPP is paid 60% in shares of stock and 40% in cash. The cash portion of the payout is used to pay all applicable taxes associated with the stock awards.

(1) Converted from Euro to US Dollar using an exchange rate of 1 Euro = 1.3201 US Dollar for SFAS 87/158 disclosure purposes.
Mr. Weber, formerly an employee of BorgWarner Turbo Systems GmbH ("Turbo Systems GmbH") in Germany and now a U.S.-based employee, was vested in a defined benefit pension plan while an employee in Germany and is therefore entitled to receive an annual retirement benefit from the Turbo Systems GmbH plan based on 13 years of credited service for the time he was employed in Germany.

The Present Value of the Accumulated Pension Benefits as of December 31, 2006 for Mr. Weber is calculated using the following assumptions:

.Mortality Tables: 50% Heubeck 98, 50% Heubeck 2005G
. Discount Rate: 4.50%
. Retirement Age: 65
.Annual Pension Increase: 1.75%

The discount rate of 4.50% is based on the iboxx EUR AA 10+ index of 4.60% as of December 31, 2006. A "pension increase" of 1.75% is applied annually, beginning at retirement age. The Heubeck 2005G tables are generational tables introduced in 2005 and allow for improved longevity. They are used for German statutory purposes. The Heubeck 1998 tables are the tables previously used. At the recommendation of our actuarial consultant, a three-year phase-in from the Heubeck 98 to the Heubeck 2005G tables was made for FAS purposes.

(1) Deferred Compensation Plan 
(2) Excess Plan  
(3) All amounts subject to vesting and forfeiture  

The Excess Plan is an unfunded, non-qualified retirement plan, which keeps certain highly compensated employees whole with regard to Company contributions that are otherwise limited under the RSP by Internal Revenue Code provisions.  The contributions vest in the same manner as under the RSP.  Distributions are made only when, and if, the participant is entitled to benefits under the RSP.  No in-service withdrawals or loans are available.
The Deferred Compensation Plan allows each participant to elect to defer up to 20% of their base salary and up to 100% of their bonus (if any bonus is paid) in 1% increments.  When making a deferral election, a participant may elect to have his or her account paid out at retirement, disability, or death in either a single lump sum or quarterly payments over a term of 5, 10, or 15 years. If the participant’s employment is terminated prior to retirement, disability, or death, the account will be paid out in a single lump sum.  The Plan also provides for distributions for hardship upon approval of our Compensation Committee and lump sum payments upon the occurrence of a Change of Control.

None of our Named Executive Officers elected to defer compensation earned in 2006. Furthermore, with the exception of Roger Wood, our Named Executive Officers have never participated in the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan.

Participants in the Excess Plan may elect to invest their deferrals in the same investment choices that are offered in the RSP.  Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to invest their deferrals in the same investment choices that are offered in the RSP, except for the BorgWarner Stock Fund. As the Excess Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan are unfunded, no money is actually invested. Rather, a notional account is maintained

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

The following table shows the post-employment payments that would be paid to each of our Named Executive Officers under the various employment-related scenarios. The calculations assume each Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated on December 31, 2006. For purposes of the calculations, the closing stock price on the last business day of 2006 ($59.02) was used to determine the vested market value of stock options.

Annual compensation for our non-employee directors for 2006 was comprised of the following components: annual retainer, Board meeting fees, Committee meeting fees, and equity compensation, consisting of restricted stock. Our non-employee directors were not granted any Stock Option Awards and did not receive any Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation for 2006.

As allowed under the BorgWarner Inc. consistsAmended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, each non-employee director receives $165,000 worth of three independent outside directors.restricted stock in the initial year of each three-year term. In April 2006, four non-employee directors (Bonanno, Michas, Schaum, and Stallkamp) were elected for a three-year term. In July 2006, these four directors were each awarded 2,837 shares of restricted common stock, determined by dividing the total value of $165,000 by the average of the high and low of the Company’s stock price at the time of the grant. The restrictions on the shares of stock will expire over the three-year term, one third in each year. However, the Compensation Committee has the authority to accelerate vesting in the event of retirement. During the period that the restrictions are in place, directors have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the same class or series of stock as the restricted stock, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash dividends.

The annual retainer for non-employee directors is responsible$40,000 for setting and administeringservice on the policies that govern base salary, annual bonus, long-term incentives, and stock ownership programsBoard of Directors. Each non-employee director receives $1,500 for each Board meeting attended. Each Committee member also receives $1,500 ($3,000 if he or she is the Chairman of the committee) for each committee meeting attended. In recognition of increased time commitments, the Chairman of the Audit Committee received $5,000 for each committee meeting attended since January 1, 2005. The Company pays for the executive officersexpenses associated with attendance at Board and Committee meetings and other functions attended at the request of the Company.

The annual retainer is prorated when a new member joins or a current member leaves our Board, as in the cases of Dr. Brimmer, Mr. Rau, and Mr. Stallkamp. Mr. Rau retired from the Board in February 2006, while Dr. Brimmer retired from the Board in April 2006. Mr. Stallkamp joined the Board in February 2006.
29

 Our non-employee directors may elect to defer, up to 100% in increments of 5%, their annual retainer in one or more investment options, including BorgWarner stock units. The investment options were expanded beginning with the 2007 deferral year.  The BorgWarner stock units remain an investment option. The Moody’s and Prime Account investments have been replaced with fifteen other fund options, which mirror those in the executive Deferred Compensation PhilosophyPlan. The fifteen funds include nine Ready-Mix Portfolio funds, one Money Market/Stable Value fund, one Bond fund, and four Stock funds.
 
 Our non-employee directors are expected to own Company stock in an amount equivalent to two times the amount of the annual retainer within five years of joining the Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL 2  - STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL CONCERNING DIRECTOR ELECTIONS

 We have been advised by a shareholder, the Massachusetts State Carpenters Pension Fund, 350 Fordham Road, Wilmington, MA 01887, beneficial owner of approximately 2300 shares, that it intends to present the following non-binding stockholder proposal at our Annual Meeting. The Company’s executive compensation programproposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting if the proponent, or a qualified representative, is designed to link executive compensation to corporate performancepresent at the meeting and to retain key executives. To this end,submits the Company has developed an overall compensation strategy and specific compensation plans that tie executive compensation to the Company’s success in meeting specified performance goals.proposal for a vote. The pay programs are designed to encourage collaborationproposal and the maximization of long-term stockholder value. Key objectivessupporting statement appear below as received by us. The Company is not responsible for the accuracy or content of the Company’s executive compensation philosophyproposal and supporting statement. Following the stockholder proposal are summarized below:the Company's reasons for opposing the proposal. 
 
• To attract and retain the best possible executive talent;
• To motivate these executives to achieve goals
 RESOLVED, That the shareholders of BorgWarner Inc. (“Company”) hereby request that support the Company’s business strategy;
• To link executive and stockholder interests through equity-based plans; and
• To provide a compensation package that is based on individual performance as well as overall business results.
The Compensation Committee reviews the Company’s executive compensation program annually. It determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the officers of the Company, reviews the policies and philosophy set for the next level of key executives (approximately 325), and evaluates and recommends to the Board of Directors all long-term incentive plans. Thisinitiate the appropriate process is designed to ensure congruity throughoutamend the executive compensation program. In reviewingCompany’s governance documents (certificate of incorporation or bylaws) to provide that director nominees shall be elected by the individual performanceaffirmative vote of the executives whose compensationmajority of votes cast at an annual meeting of shareholders, with a plurality vote standard retained for contested director elections, that is, detailedwhen the number of director nominees exceeds the number of board seats.

 Supporting Statement: In order to provide shareholders a meaningful role in this proxy statement (other than Mr. Manganello),director elections, our company’s director election vote standard should be changed to a majority vote standard. A majority vote standard would require that a nominee receive a majority of the Compensation Committee takes into accountvotes cast in order to be elected. The standard is particularly well-suited for the viewsvast majority of Mr. Manganello.
Total compensation levels (including base salary, annual bonus, and long-term incentives) for BorgWarner’s executivesdirector elections in which only board nominated candidates are compared to the compensation paid to executives at companies in the durable manufacturing sector with whom BorgWarner competes for talent, with data being collected from several prominent executive compensation surveys (the “Compensation Surveys”). In addition to the Compensation Surveys, the Compensation Committee also considers the compensation reported for executives by the companies included in a peer group of automotive companies (the “Peer Group Companies”). The Peer Group Companies are used to compare stockholder returns on the performance graph. The Compensation Committee may adjust compensation levels based upon information obtained from the Compensation Surveysballot. We believe that a majority vote standard in board elections would establish a challenging vote standard for board nominees and the Peer Group Companies.

Components of Compensation
The key elements of the Company’s executive compensation program are base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives. Annual bonus plans include performance measures that are relevant to the Company’s operations and financial performance, in terms of creating economic value. Long-term incentives may include various vehicles, as appropriate, including but not limited to stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, and performance shares/units. Additionally, certain executive benefits and perquisites may be utilized, when determined appropriate, based on corporate initiatives and competitive practices.
Base Salaries
Annual salary adjustments are determined by the Compensation Committee by examining each executive officer’s current responsibilities, the executive officer’s individual and business unit performance, and by comparing the executive officer’s current base salary to competitive median salaries as reported in the Compensation Surveys and by the Peer Group Companies. Base salaries are targeted at the approximated 50th percentile of comparable companies in the Compensation Surveys. For 2005, the Compensation Committee set base salary levels for the executive officers based primarily on external market data andimprove the performance of each executive officer duringindividual directors and entire boards. Our Company presently uses a plurality vote standard in all director elections. Under the previous year. On an overall basis, base salariesplurality vote standard, a nominee for the top senior executive group were slightly below the medianboard can be elected with as little as a single affirmative vote, even if a substantial majority of the Compensation Surveys.votes cast are “withheld” from the nominee.

 In response to strong shareholder support for a majority vote standard in director elections, an increasing number of companies, including Intel, Dell, Motorola, Texas Instruments, Wal-Mart, Safeway, Home Depot, Gannett, Marathon Oil, and Supervalu, have adopted a majority vote standard in company by-laws. Additionally, these companies have adopted director resignation policies in their bylaws or corporate governance policies to address post-election issues related to the status of director nominees that fail to win election. Other companies have responded only partially to the call for change by simply adopting post-election director resignation policies that set procedures for addressing the status of director nominees that receive more “withhold” votes than “for” votes. At the time of the submission of this proposal, our Company and its board had not taken either action.

 We believe the critical first step in establishing a meaningful majority vote policy is the adoption of a majority vote standard in Company governance documents. Our Company needs to join the growing list of companies that have taken this action. With a majority vote standard in place, the board can then consider action on developing post election procedures to address the status of directors that fail to win election. A combination of a majority vote standard and a post-election director resignation policy would establish a meaningful right for shareholders to elect directors, while reserving for the board an important post-election role in determining the continued status of an unelected director. We feel that this combination of the majority vote standard with a post-election policy represents a true majority vote standard.

Recommendation
 
Annual BonusYOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THIS STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL.

    This proposal would require that director nominees receive the support of a majority of votes cast to be elected. For compelling reasons, plurality voting is the prevailing standard for the election of federal, state and local officials as well as for directors of U.S. public companies. The methodology is well known and understood by stockholders. The proposal would alter this longstanding and widespread director election voting procedure. We do not believe that electing directors under a different standard would result in a more effective board.
 
2005 Annual Bonus Awards BorgWarner elects directors by a plurality standard for the same reasons that democracies use plurality standards. A plurality system ensures continuity of governance by preventing a situation where no or limited candidates receive a majority of the votes cast, leaving director positions vacant. The long-standing plurality system also safeguards stockholders against special interest groups that, under a majority system, would be empowered to remove a director based upon narrow, parochial interests. If a majority vote by-law is adopted, and a director does not receive a majority of the votes cast, a vacancy on the board will result and will be filled by the directors, not by the stockholders. We do not believe that result is an improvement over the current plurality voting system.

 Our stockholders have consistently had a meaningful role in the director election process.  Indeed, since the Company became a public company with an elected Board, each director nominee has received the affirmative vote of more than 90% of the shares voted through the plurality process. Last year each director standing for election received the affirmative vote of more than 98% of the shares voted. The Company’s executive officersproposal suggests, however, that your Board is being elected by minimal affirmative votes. We do not believe that the facts support that conclusion.

 We are eligiblecommitted to participategood corporate governance. Our directors' corporate governance guidelines are available for review at www.borgwarner.com in the corporate governance section of our website.  In particular, the Board felt it appropriate to respond to the concerns that have been raised about plurality voting standards and has adopted a corporate governance guideline to provide that, in the event that a director receives a greater number of "withheld" votes than "for" votes in an annual cash bonus plan. Performance objectives are established prioruncontested election, the director will promptly offer his or her resignation for consideration. The Corporate Governance Committee will consider the resignation and recommend to the beginning of each three-year performance cycleBoard whether to accept it, reject it, or take other action. In considering the resignation, the Committee will take into consideration such factors as the stated reasons why stockholders withheld votes for the Company, Business Group and each of its business units. The performance objectives are based on the increase in economic valueelection of the Company, Business Groupand/or business unit overdirector, the prior year. Economic value is determined by a formula taking into account the after-tax operating incomedirector’s length of service, qualifications and the average operating investment of the Company, Business Group or business unit.
Eligible executives are assigned threshold, target, and maximum bonus levels. For those executive officers responsible for the entire Company, 100 percent of their bonus opportunity is based on the increase in economic value for the Company; for those executive officers responsible for a business unit, 15 percent of the bonus opportunity is based on the increase in economic value of the Business Group (Engine or Drivetrain) of which the business unit is a part, 30 percent of the bonus opportunity is based on the increase in economic value forcontributions to the Company and 55 percent is based on the increase in economic value of the assigned business unit. If the threshold level of these performance measures is not met, no bonus is paid.continued compliance with New York Stock Exchange listing standards.
 
To encourage After careful consideration, the Board unanimously believes that this corporate governance guideline will adequately address the concerns of those wishing a longer-term perspective while continuingmore meaningful outcome to reward participants for the achievement of annual goals, the bonus plan for executives includessituations where a “Carryover Bonus” feature. Carryover Bonus allows participantsdirector might receive fewer “for” votes than votes “withheld” in the bonus plan to earn — over a two-year period — any bonus opportunity (up to specified maximum limits) that was not attained during the current plan year. Executives can earn the balance of the unattained bonus opportunity whenever cumulative value targets are achieved during the subsequent two years. No Carryover Bonus from a prior year is earned if the threshold level of performance for the current year is not achieved.
The potential annual bonus award for each executive officer is targeted at the approximated 65th percentile of annual bonus levels for similar positions as reported by comparable companies in the Compensation Surveys. In a given year, Carryover Bonus from prior years may increase the annual bonus opportunity of the executive officers above the regular target levels.
Although annual bonuses depend primarily on the achievement of performance objectives as described above, the Compensation Committee may adjust bonus measures and awards based on other financial or non-financial actions that the Compensation Committee believes will benefit long-term stockholder value.


15


After an analysis of the considerations set forth above, cash bonuses were paid to executive officers for 2005. The increase in economic value of the Company in 2005 resulted in a bonus payout between the target and the maximum opportunity level for the portion of individual bonuses based on overall corporate performance.
Long-Term Incentives
BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
In 2004, the stockholders approved the BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares and performance units.
Beginningconnection with the 2005 fiscal year, the Company granted awards of Performance Shares and Non-Qualified Stock Optionselection to the top senior executives under the BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Such grants were made in placeBoard, while still allowing Board consideration of awards under the Executive Stock Performance Plan. The Performance Shares were granted forwhether a three-year period beginning January 1, 2005 and will be based on total shareholder return relative to the Company’s Peer Group during the three-year performance period that begins on January 1, 2005 and ends on December 31, 2007. The Non-Qualified Stock Option Awards have the same terms and conditions as are established for the other participants in the plan. In the future, the Company’s philosophy for long-term incentivesparticular director’s resignation is to provide the top senior executives with an economic opportunity, at grant, that targets the 65th percentile. Executives may receive annual stock option awards based on competitive market conditions, their level of responsibility for the management and growth of the Company, and individual contributions. Current base salary and annual incentive opportunity, as well as the size and timing of previous stock option awards, are also considered when determining annual stock option awards.
For other executives below the top senior executive level, the Company uses stock options under the BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to align the interests of this next level of executives with those of the stockholders and to retain and motivate these executives to continue the long-term focus required for the Company’s future success.
All stock options are granted at no less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The number of shares awarded to each recipient is determined by an analysis of competitive data provided in the Compensation Surveys. The analysis is based on the current discounted market value of the Company’s stock and the annualized cash value of competitive grants. All options granted by the Company have vesting requirements and a ten-year term.
The gains on stock options granted by the Company are exempt from the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, which limit the tax deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million.
Executive Stock Performance Plan
Under the terms of the Executive Stock Performance Plan, no awards may be granted after December 31, 2004. Accordingly, the final three-year period for which awards have been granted under the Executive Stock Performance Plan was for the three-year period beginning January 1, 2004 and ending on December 31, 2006.
The BorgWarner Inc. Executive Stock Performance Plan is a long-term incentive plan for selected top senior executives including the named executive officers. It is designed to provide competitive payouts at the end of a three-year period relative to how well the Company performs against the Peer Group Companies in terms of total shareholder return (“TSR”). Payments made under this plan are exempt from the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code that limit the tax deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million.
For the period between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2005, Mr. Manganello had an award of 700 performance units at a target value of $1,000 per unit. At the end of the performance period of the Company, the Company’s TSR performance was at the 98th percentile of the TSR performance of the Peer Group Companies. As a result, Mr. Manganello earned an award of $1,225,000.
For the period between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2006, Mr. Manganello has an award of 700 performance units at a target value of $1,000 per unit. Depending upon the performance of the Company,


16


Mr. Manganello’s final award can range from $0 per unit if the Company’s TSR performance is below the 25th percentile of the TSR performance of the Peer Group Companies to $1,750 per unit if the Company’s TSR performance is at the 90th percentile (or higher) of the TSR performance of the Peer Group Companies.
Ownership Guidelines
The Company has established stock ownership guidelines for the senior officers of the Company. These guidelines are maintained in order to strengthen the link between long-term corporate performance and executive rewards. Mr. Manganello is expected to own three times the average of his annualized salary and target bonus for the prior three years; the other officers named in this proxy are expected to own two times the average of their annualized salary and target bonus for the prior three years.
Mr. Manganello and eleven other executives met or exceeded the ownership requirements in 2005. Due to the addition of regular stock option grants to executives in 2005 as a component of their total compensation package, the Company is no longer granting stock option awards for stock ownership levels above the guidelines as it has done in the past.
2005 Compensation for the Chief Executive Officer
The Compensation Committee meets without the Chief Executive Officer present to evaluate his performance and establish his compensation. Compensation for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is based on the same basic factors as described above for the other members of senior management. Mr. Manganello participates in the same executive compensation plans available to other executive officers.
In establishing the base salary, cash incentive awards, and stock awards for 2005, the Compensation Committee considered BorgWarner’s overall performance. For 2005, Mr. Manganello had a base salary of $750,000, an increase of 25 percent from 2004, which places him slightly below the 50th percentile of the market. Mr. Manganello earned an annual bonus of $1,190,322 for performance in fiscal 2005; of this, $114,084 represents Carryover Bonus from 2003 and 2004.
This represented a payout above target and is the result of BorgWarner exceeding its financial performance targets set prior to the start of 2005. In addition, as was disclosed earlier, for the period between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2005, Mr. Manganello had a target award of 700 performance units at a par value of $1,000 per unit. At the end of the performance period, the Company’s TSR performance was at the 98th percentile of the TSR performance of the Peer Group Companies. As a result, Mr. Manganello earned an award of $1,225,000.
Deductible Compensation of Officers
Section 162(m) of the Code provides that compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the chief executive officer and the other most highly compensated executive officers of a public company will generally be nondeductible for federal income tax purposes, subject to certain exceptions. The Committee intends to structure compensation arrangements in a manner that will avoid the deduction limitations imposed by Section 162(m) in appropriate circumstances. However, the Committee believes that it is important and necessary that the Committee retain the right and flexibility to provide and revise compensation arrangements, such as base salary and cash bonus incentive opportunities, that may not qualify under Section 162(m) if, in the Committee’s view, such arrangements are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The Compensation Committee does not believe that compensation subject We intend to the $1 million limitation on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code was paidcontinue to follow and evaluate developments in 2005this area and to any of the named executive officers.

PROPOSAL 2 — APPROVAL OF THE BORGWARNER INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED
2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
At its February 8, 2006 meeting, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted the amendments to and restatement of the BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to the approval thereof by the stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the Plan, as amended and restated, is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B. The favorable vote of a majority of the shares of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of the Plan.
The purpose of the proposed amendments to and restatement of the Plan is to (i) increase the number of shares authorized to be issued by 2,300,000 shares and (ii) conform the Plan with newly adopted section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Section 409A of the Code is described below.
The Board believes that an additional share reserve will allow the Company to provide the necessary incentives to employees in future years.
The Board also believes that the proposed amendments included to conform with Code section 409A are in the best interests of BorgWarner and its stockholders.

For the Company because non-compliance could result in substantial adverse tax consequences to the participants.
Below is a summary of the proposed revisions:
• Section 4(a) of the Plan has been amended to increase the number of shares authorized to be issued by 2,300,000 shares.
• Section 4(b) of the Plan has been amended to increase the total number of shares that may be granted to a “covered employee” (as defined in Code section 162(m)) in any fiscal year in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units or performance shares from one hundred thousand (100,000) to three hundred thousand (300,000). Section 4(b) of the Plan has also been amended to increase the total value of Performance Units that may be granted to a “covered employee” in any fiscal year from five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) to three million dollars ($3,000,000).
• The definition of “Stock” under the Plan has been amended to include only the highest-value class of common stock of the Company. Sections 6 and 7 of the Plan, providing for awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights, respectively, have been amended to prohibit the modification of such stock options or stock appreciation rights after the applicable award date if such modification would result in the stock option or stock appreciation right being treated as deferred compensation for purposes of Code section 409A. These amendments are designed to prevent stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan from being treated as deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A.
• Sections 9, 10, and 11 of the Plan providing for awards of stock units, performance units, and performance shares, respectively, have been amended to eliminate provisions that previously allowed participants to elect to defer receipt of payment of such awards beyond the times or events originally specified in their award agreements. Instead, payment of these awards must now occur on the original times or events specified in the applicable award agreement. For stock units, these payment times or events generally include the vesting date, the date of the award recipient’s termination of employment, or a specified date. For performance units and performance shares, payment generally must occur by March 15 of the year after the year in which the applicable performance period ends. However, in certain circumstances, performance units and performance shares may also be paid earlier upon an award recipient’s termination of employment, if such termination of employment occurs after the Company experiences a change in control. For all three types of awards, payment upon a termination of employment is delayed for six months if the award recipient meets the definition of a “Specified Employee.” Each of these amendments is for the purpose of having share units, performance units, and performance shares comply with relevant aspects of Code section 409A.
• The Plan has been amended in certain other respects for the purpose of complying with Code section 409A, including in respect to the definitions of “Disability” and “Retirement,” and in other aspects as generally discussed below.

Description of the Plan, as Amended and Restated
The following description of the material terms of the Plan, as amended and restated, is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the attached Plan.
Administration.  The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’sforegoing reasons, your Board of Directors believes that this proposal is not in the best interests of BorgWarner or such other committee comprised of members of the Boardits stockholders and unanimously recommends that the Board appoints (“Committee”). If the Compensation Committee has not been designated as the Committee, members of the Committee must be “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and “independent directors” within the meaning of any applicable stock exchange rule. In addition, to the extent that the Committee intends that an award granted under the Plan constitute “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code section 162(m) (discussed below), members of the Committee must be “outside directors” within the meaning of Code section 162(m).you vote AGAINST this proposal.
 
In the case of awards granted to members of the Board who are not officers or employees of the Company or an affiliate, the Plan will be administered by the Committee subject to the approval of a majority of all members of the Board who are “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and “independent directors” within the meaning of any applicable stock exchange rule.
The Committee may authorize the chief executive officer of the Company to grant awards under the Plan of up to 10,000 shares of common stock per individual per year to officers and employees of the Company and its affiliates who are not executive officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or “covered employees” under Code section 162(m). In addition, the Committee may authorize the chief executive officer of the Company to grant awards under the Plan of up to 10,000 shares of common stock per individual as an inducement for an individual to accept an offer of employment with the Company or an affiliate. Recipients of such employee inducement awards may include individuals who are executive officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange or “covered employees” under Code section 162(m). Whenever the Committee has granted the chief executive officer the authority to make such awards under the Plan, the chief executive officer has the authority under the Plan to select the employees (or prospective employees) to whom awards will be given, determine the type of awards to be granted and the number of shares to be covered by an award, and determine the terms and conditions of an award, subject however, to any limits or qualifications on such powers as the Committee may establish. The Plan also provides that any such authorizations to the chief executive officer must be consistent with recommendations made by the Board’s Compensation Committee to the Board regarding non-CEO compensation, incentive compensation, and equity-based plans.
For purposes of the remaining portions of this description of the Plan, references to the Committee shall also refer, (i) in the case of awards to directors who are not employees of the Company or a subsidiary, to the Committee, as approved by a majority of all members of the Board who are “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and “independent directors” within the meaning of any applicable stock exchange rule, and (ii) in the case of awards granted to employees by the chief executive officer pursuant to an authorization, by the Committee, to the chief executive officer.
Under the Plan, the Committee has full authority to select the eligible individuals to whom awards will be granted, the types of award to be granted, the number of shares to be subject to an award, the exercise price (in the case of a stock option) and other terms and conditions of awards, to interpret the Plan, and to prescribe, amend and rescind the rules and regulations relating to the Plan.
Term, Amendment and Termination.  If not terminated sooner by the Board of Directors, the Plan will terminate on the date immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the Plan’s effective date, and no awards will be granted after that date. Awards granted and outstanding as of the date the Plan terminates will not be affected or impaired by such termination.
The Board of Directors may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan at any time. However, no amendment, alteration or discontinuation of the Plan may impair the rights of an award recipient with respect to awards previously granted without such recipient’s consent (except that no consent is necessary for amendments made to cause the Plan to qualify for the exemption provided byRule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or for awards to qualify for the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception under Code section 162(m), discussed below). No


20


amendment may be made that would disqualify the Plan from the exemption provided byRule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or to extend the term of the Plan. To the extent required by law or agreement, no amendment can be made to the Plan without the consent of the Company’s stockholders.
The Committee may amend the terms of any outstanding award, either prospectively or retroactively except that an amendment that would impair the rights of the award holder requires the holder’s consent (except that no consent is necessary for amendments made to cause the Plan to qualify for the exemption provided byRule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or for awards to qualify for the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception under Code section 162(m), discussed below).
No Modification of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.  Except for adjustments for certain corporate events as described below, the Plan expressly prohibits the Committee from modifying (including the extension, renewal or repricing of) stock options or stock appreciation rights once they are granted, if such modification would result in the stock options or stock appreciation rights constituting deferred compensation for purposes of Code section 409A.
Shares Subject to the Plan.  Subject to adjustments as described below, up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value of $.01 per share, will be available for issuance for awards under the Plan, including with respect to incentive stock options. Shares subject to an award may be authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares of common stock purchased on the open market. Awards may only be granted on shares of the highest-value class of common stock of the Company, specifically excluding any class of stock that provides a preference as to dividend or liquidation rights. As of February 28, 2006 the closing price of a share of common stock was $55.77.
If an award granted under the Plan expires, terminates, is cancelled, or lapses for any reason without the issuance of shares of common stock, or if any shares of restricted stock awarded under the Plan are forfeited, the shares covered by such award or such restricted stock will again be available for awards under the Plan. In addition, if an award recipient tenders previously-acquired shares of the Company’s common stock to satisfy applicable withholding obligations with respect to an award, or if shares of the Company’s common stock are withheld to satisfy applicable withholding obligations, such shares will again be available for further awards under the Plan. Also, if an award recipient tenders previously-acquired shares of the Company’s common stock in payment of the option price upon exercise of a stock option awarded under the Plan, or if shares of common stock are withheld in payment of the option price, the number of shares tendered or withheld will again be available for further awards under the Plan.
Individual Limitations.  Subject to adjustments as described below, no individual may be granted, within one fiscal year of the Company, awards covering more than 300,000 shares of common stock or common stock equivalents (in the case of awards of stock appreciation rights , stock units, and performance shares). Additionally, no individual may be granted within one fiscal year of the Company, Performance Units that could exceed $3,000,000 when paid in cash or in shares of common stock.
Subject to the prohibition on modification of stock options and stock appreciation rights after the date of grant as specified above, if there is a change in the common stock of the Company through the declaration of stock dividends, or through recapitalization resulting in stock split-ups, or combinations or exchanges of shares, or otherwise, the Plan authorizes the Committee to make appropriate adjustments in the number of shares authorized for grants, in the exercise prices of outstanding stock options, in the base prices of stock appreciation rights, and in the limits described above on the number of shares available for grant to individuals per fiscal year.
Eligibility and Types of Awards.  The Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance units, and performance shares. Participation in the Plan is open to officers, employees and directors of the Company, as selected by the Committee. However, directors who are not employees of the Company or of a subsidiary are not eligible to receive grants of Incentive Stock Options, performance units, or performance shares under the Plan. As of February 28, 2006 approximately 375 employees, including 16 officers, and nine directors who are not employees of the Company or any subsidiary would have been eligible to receive awards under the Plan.


21


Stock Options.  Officers, employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries may be granted options to acquire the Company’s common stock under the Plan, either alone or in conjunction with other awards under the Plan. However, as noted above, directors who are not employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company are not eligible to receive grants of Incentive Stock Options.
Under the Plan, stock options may be either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or nonqualified stock options. The exercise price of a stock option is determined at the time of grant but may not be and may never become less than the fair market value per share of common stock on date of grant. Stock options are exercisable at the times and upon the conditions that the Committee may determine, as reflected in the applicable stock option agreement. The exercise period of a stock option is determined by the Committee and may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant.
The holder of a stock option generally has a one-year period following the grantee’s termination of employment or service with the Company and its subsidiaries (but not to exceed the stock option’s term), in which to exercise a stock option that was exercisable as of such termination. An extended exercise period (generally 3 years, but not to exceed the stock option’s term) may apply following a termination of employment or service by reason of disability or retirement. The Plan authorizes the Committee to accelerate the schedules or installments on which stock options become exercisable.
The exercise price of a stock option must be paid in full at the time of exercise and is payable in cash. However, if (and to the extent) provided by the related award agreement, the option exercise price may also be paid: (i) by the surrender of common stock already owned by the optionee, (ii) by requesting the Company to withhold, from the number of shares of common stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the stock option, shares having an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, or (iii) a combination of the foregoing, as provided by the award agreement. Additionally, if permitted by the Committee and allowable by law, payment of the exercise price may be made through a broker-facilitated cashless exercise.
If permitted by the related award agreement, an optionee may surrender shares of restricted stock in payment of the exercise price of a nonqualified stock option. Where restricted stock is so surrendered, an equal number of shares received upon the exercise of the nonqualified stock option shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions as the shares surrendered.
ISOs are exercisable only by the optionee during his or her lifetime and are not assignable or transferable other than by will or by the application of the laws of inheritance. Nonqualified stock options may be assigned during the optionee’s lifetime to one or more of the optionee’s immediate family members or to a trust benefiting one or more family members exclusively, or to the optionee’s spouse or former spouse pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.
Upon receipt of a notice of exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of a stock option that is being exercised by paying the optionee cash or common stock equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), all stock options outstanding as of the date on which the change in control occurs become fully exercisable and vested. During the60-day period following a Change in Control, the Committee may, at its sole discretion, allow the holder of a stock option to surrender such option for cash in an amount equal to the difference between the “change in control price” (as defined in the Plan) and the exercise price. Under the Plan, such a cash out may automatically occur in the case of an officer who is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to a grant of stock options in instances where the60-day period ends within six months of the date of the stock option’s grant, with the cash out occurring immediately following the close of the six-month period.
For the purpose of complying with Code section 409A, the Plan prohibits any modification to a previously granted Stock Option if such modification would result in the Stock Option being treated as deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A. A “modification” for this purpose is generally any change to the terms of the Stock Option (or the Plan or applicable award agreement) that provides the holder with a direct or indirect decrease in the exercise price of the Stock Option, or an additional deferral feature, or an extension or renewal of the Stock Option, regardless of whether the holder in fact benefits from this change. The maximum period in which a Stock Option


22


may be extended for any reason under the Plan is to the 15th day of the third month following, or to the December 31 after the date on which the Stock Option otherwise would have expired, whichever happens to be later.
Stock Appreciation Rights.  A stock appreciation right (“SAR”) may be granted (i) to employees or directors in conjunction with all or any part of an option granted under the Plan (a “Tandem SAR”), or (ii) without relationship to an option (a “Freestanding SAR”). Tandem SARs must be granted at the time such option is granted. A Tandem SAR is only exercisable at the time and to the extent that the related option is exercisable. The base price of a Tandem SAR must be and may never become less than the exercise price of the option to which it relates. Upon the exercise of a Tandem SAR, the holder thereof is entitled to receive, in cash or common stock, as provided in the related award agreement, the excess of the fair market value of the share for which the right is exercised (calculated as of the exercise date) over the exercise price per share of the related option. Stock options are no longer exercisable to the extent that a related Tandem SAR has been exercised, and a Tandem SAR is no longer exercisable upon the forfeiture, termination or exercise of the related stock option. A Freestanding SAR entitles the holder to a cash payment equal to the difference between the base price and the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise. The base price must be equal to and may never become less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of the Freestanding SAR’s grant.
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), all stock appreciation rights outstanding as of the date on which the change in control occurs shall become fully exercisable and vested.
SARs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered.
For the purpose of complying with Code section 409A, the Plan prohibits any modification to a previously granted SAR if such modification would result in the SAR being treated as deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A. A “modification” for this purpose generally has the same meaning as discussed above in respect to Stock Options.
Restricted Stock.  Officers, employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries may be granted restricted stock under the Plan, either alone or in combination with other awards. Restricted stock are shares of the Company’s common stock that are subject to forfeiture by the recipient if the conditions to vesting that are set forth in the related restricted stock agreement are not met. Vesting may be based on the continued service of the recipient, one or more performance goals (described below), or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine.
Unless otherwise provided in the related restricted stock agreement, the grant of a restricted stock award will entitle the recipient to vote the shares of Company common stock covered by such award and to receive the dividends thereon. Under the Plan, a restricted stock agreement may provide that cash dividends paid on restricted stock will be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional restricted stock and dividends payable in stock will be paid in the form of restricted stock. For the purpose of complying with Code section 409A, the Plan provides that cash dividends so reinvested or share dividends so payable shall vest at the same time as the Restricted Stock to which they relate; or, if the applicable award agreement is silent, such dividends shall be paid in the same calendar year in which the same dividends are paid to other stockholders of the Company, or by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date on which the same dividends are paid to other stockholders of the Company, if later.
During the period that shares of stock are restricted, the recipient cannot sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the shares of restricted stock. If a recipient’s employment or service with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates, the recipient will forfeit all rights to the unvested portion of the restricted stock award. However, if the participant’s service is terminated other than for cause (as defined in the Plan), the Committee may waive any remaining restrictions upon the stock in effect upon such termination.
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), the restrictions applicable to any outstanding restricted stock will lapse and the restricted stock will become fully vested to the full extent of the grant.
Stock Units.  Officers, employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries may be granted stock units under the Plan, either alone or in combination with other awards. A stock unit is a right to receive a share of common stock of the Company or the fair market value in cash of a share of common stock in the future, under terms and conditions established by the Committee. Under the Plan, the Committee may make grants of stock units that


23


are immediately vested or may make grants of stock units that are subject to vesting requirements, such as continued service.
The applicable stock units award agreement is required to specify the times or events on which stock units will be paid. These times or events generally include the applicable vesting date, the date of the participant’s termination of employment, or a specified calendar date. Once specified in the award agreement, payment dates may not be accelerated for a participant for any reason, except as specifically provided for in Code section 409A. At the time specified in the applicable award agreement, stock units will be settled by the delivery to the participant of shares of common stock equal in number to the number of the participant’s stock units that are vested as of the specified date or event (such as termination of employment), or cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. Payment to any specified employee (as defined in the Plan) upon termination of employment is required to be delayed for six months in order to comply with Code section 409A.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, if a participant’s employment with the Company terminates prior to the date on which the participant’s stock units become vested, the participant will forfeit the stock units. The Committee has the discretion to waive in whole or in part, any payment limitations for stock units that remain outstanding at a participant’s retirement, or if the participant’s employment is terminated (other than for cause, as defined in the Plan). If the Committee waives all or any portion of such payment limitations, the stock units will remain payable on the times or events originally specified in the applicable award agreement.
Prior to an actual delivery of shares of common stock in settlement of a stock units grant, a participant acquires no rights of a shareholder. Stock units may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged or otherwise encumbered, but a participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to whom shares of common stock covered by a grant of stock units will be transferred in the event of the participant’s death.
The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in a stock units award agreement that a participant will be entitled to receive dividend equivalents with respect to his or her restricted stock units. Dividend equivalents may, in the discretion of the Committee, be paid in cash or credited to the participant as additional restricted stock units, or any combination of cash and additional restricted stock units. The amount that can be paid to a recipient as a dividend equivalent cannot exceed the amount that would be payable as a dividend if the stock unit were actually a share of common stock. If credited to the participant as additional stock units, the additional stock units will vest at the same time as the stock units to which they relate. If credited to the participant as cash, the dividend equivalents must be paid in the same calendar year in which the related dividends are paid to stockholders of the Company, or by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date on which the related dividends are paid, if later.
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), the restrictions applicable to any outstanding stock units will lapse and the stock units will become fully vested to the full extent of the grant. Payment of stock units that have vested as a result of a change in control shall occur on the times or events originally specified in the award agreement.
Performance Units.  Officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may be granted performance units under the Plan, either alone or in combination with other Plan awards.
A performance unit is a contingent right to receive cash or shares of common stock of the Company, in the future, pursuant to the terms of a grant made under the Plan and the related award agreement. The value of a performance unit is established by the Committee based on cash or on property other than common stock of the Company. For any grant of performance units, the Committee will establish (i) one or more performance goals, and (ii) a performance period of not less than one year. The performance goals will be based on one or more performance criteria set forth in the Plan and described below. At the expiration of the performance period, the Committee will determine and certify the extent to which the performance goals were achieved. The Committee will then determine the number of performance units to which a recipient of performance units under the grant is entitled, and the value of such performance units (if the value is based on the level of achievement) based upon the number of performance units originally granted to the recipient and the level of performance achieved. Performance units will be settled by payment of the cash value of the performance units to which the recipient is entitled or delivery of shares of common stock of the Company with a fair market value equal to the cash value of such performance units. Performance units


24


will be paid as soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination, but in any event no later than 21/2 months after the end of the year in which the applicable performance period has ended.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, if a performance unit recipient’s employment or service with the Company terminates during the performance period or before the performance goals are satisfied, the recipient will forfeit the performance units granted with respect to such performance period. The Committee has the discretion to waive in whole or in part, any payment limitations for performance units that remain outstanding at a participant’s retirement if the participant’s employment is terminated (other than for cause, as defined in the Plan). If the Committee waives all or any portion of such payment limitations, the performance units will be paid in the year following the year in which the performance period ends, at the same time as the Committee makes payment to all other recipients of performance units for that period.
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), the performance goals of all outstanding performance units granted under the Plan shall be deemed to have been achieved at target levels, and a recipient shall be entitled to a pro rata distribution of shares of common stock or cash in settlement of the performance units, based upon the number of whole months during the performance period that have elapsed prior to the date of the change in control. If the Committee has previously waived all or any portion of the payment limitations in respect to a participant’s performance units prior to the change in control, then payment of such performance units shall occur either (i) in the year following the year in which the applicable performance period ends or would have ended absent the change in control, or (ii) upon the participant’s termination of employment, if earlier. Payment to any specified employee (as defined in the Plan) upon termination of employment is required to be delayed for six months in order to comply with Code section 409A.
Prior to an actual delivery of shares of common stock in settlement of a performance units grant, a recipient acquires no rights of a shareholder. Performance units may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged or otherwise encumbered, but a recipient may designate one or more beneficiaries to whom shares of common stock covered by a grant of performance units will be transferred in the event of the recipient’s death.
Performance Shares.  Officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may be granted performance shares under the Plan, either alone or in combination with other Plan awards.
A performance share is a contingent right to receive a share of common stock of the Company or the fair market value in cash of a share of common stock, in the future, pursuant to the terms of a grant made under the Plan and the related award agreement. For any grant of performance shares, the Committee will establish (i) one or more performance goals, and (ii) a performance period of not less than one year. The performance goals will be based on one or more performance criteria set forth in the Plan and described below. At the expiration of the performance period, the Committee will determine and certify the extent to which the performance goals were achieved. The Committee will then determine the number of performance shares to which a recipient of performance shares under the grant is entitled, based upon the number of performance shares originally granted to the recipient and the level of performance achieved. Performance shares will be settled by the delivery of shares of common stock of the Company or cash equal to the fair market value of such shares as soon as practicable after the close of the performance period. Performance shares will be delivered as soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination, but in any event no later than 21/2 months after the end of the year in which the applicable performance period has ended.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, if a performance share recipient’s employment with the Company terminates during the performance period or before the performance goals are satisfied, the recipient will forfeit the performance shares granted with respect to such performance period. The Committee has the discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any payment limitations for performance shares that remain outstanding at a participant’s retirement if the participant’s employment is terminated (other than for cause, as defined in the Plan). If the Committee waives all or any portion of such payment limitations, the performance shares will be delivered in the year following the year in which the performance period ends, at the same time as the Committee makes delivery to all other recipients of performance shares for that period.
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), the performance goals of all outstanding performance shares granted under the Plan shall be deemed to have been achieved at target levels, and a recipient


25


shall be entitled to a pro rata distribution of shares of common stock or cash in settlement of the performance shares, based upon the number of whole months during the performance period that have elapsed prior to the date of the change in control. If the Committee has previously waived all or any portion of the payment limitations in respect to a participant’s performance shares prior to the change in control, then delivery of such performance shares shall occur either (i) in the year following the year in which the applicable performance period ends or would have ended absent the change in control, or (ii) upon the participant’s termination of employment, if earlier. Payment to any specified employee (as defined in the Plan) upon termination of employment is required to be delayed for six months in order to comply with Code section 409A.
Prior to an actual delivery of shares of common stock in settlement of a performance shares grant, a recipient acquires no rights of a shareholder. Performance shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged or otherwise encumbered, but a recipient may designate one or more beneficiaries to whom shares of common stock covered by a grant of performance shares will be transferred in the event of the recipient’s death.
Rescission of Awards.  Under the Plan, the Committee may cancel or declare forfeited or rescind awards upon its determination that a participant has violated the terms of the Plan or the award agreement under which the award has been made. In addition, for a period of one year following the exercise, payment or delivery of an award, the Committee may rescind the award upon its determining that the participant has committed a breach of conduct (as defined in the Plan) prior to the exercise, payment or delivery of the award or within six months thereafter.
Effective Date.  If approved by the shareholders, the Plan described above will be effective as of the date of approval.
Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a brief and general summary of the federal income tax consequences of transactions under the Plan based on federal income tax laws in effect on January 1, 2006. The summary does not purport to be complete, and does not address the tax consequences of a participant’s death or the state, local and foreign tax laws that may also be applicable to awards and transactions involving awards.
Stock Options.  Stock options granted under the Plan may be either “Incentive Stock Options,” as defined in section 422 of the Code, or Nonqualified Stock Options.
Incentive Stock Options.  Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Code, including Code section 422. If shares of common stock are issued to an optionee upon the exercise of an ISO, and if no “disqualifying disposition” of such shares is made by such optionee within one year after the exercise of the ISO or within two years after the date the ISO was granted, then (i) no income will be recognized by the optionee at the time of the grant of the ISO, (ii) no income, for regular tax purposes, will be realized by the optionee at the date of exercise, (iii) upon sale of the shares of the common stock acquired by exercise of the ISO, any amount realized in excess of the option price will be taxed to the optionee, for regular tax purposes, as a capital gain (at varying rates depending upon the optionee’s holding period in the shares and income level) and any loss sustained will be a capital loss, and (iv) no deduction will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes. If a “disqualifying disposition” of such shares is made, the optionee will realize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased at the time of exercise over the exercise price (the “bargain purchase element”) and the Company will generally be entitled to a federal income tax deduction equal to such amount. The amount of any gain in excess of the bargain purchase element realized upon a “disqualifying disposition” will be taxable as capital gain to the holder (at varying rates depending upon such holder’s holding period in the shares and income level), for which the Company will not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction. Upon exercise of an ISO, the optionee may be subject to alternative minimum tax.
Nonqualified Stock Options.  With respect to nonqualified stock options, (i) no income is recognized by the optionee at the time the option is granted; (ii) generally, at exercise, ordinary income is recognized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price paid for the shares and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and the Company is entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount; and (iii) at disposition, any gain or loss is treated as capital gain or loss. In the case of an optionee who is also an employee, any


26


income recognized upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option will constitute wages for which withholding will be required.
Stock Appreciation Rights.  No income will be recognized by a recipient in connection with the grant of an SAR. When an SAR is exercised, the recipient will generally be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of exercise an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any common stock received on the exercise. In the case of a recipient who is also an employee, any income recognized upon exercise of an SAR will constitute wages for which withholding will be required. The Company will be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount. If the optionee receives common stock upon the exercise of an SAR, any gain or loss on the sale of such stock will be treated in the same manner as discussed above under “nonqualified stock options.”
Restricted Stock.  A recipient will not realize taxable income at the time of grant of a restricted stock award, assuming that the restrictions constitute a substantial risk of forfeiture for Federal income tax purposes. Upon the vesting of shares of Company common stock subject to an award, the recipient will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares at such time over the amount paid by the recipient, if any. The Company will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income realized by the recipient in the taxable year in which the amount is included in the recipient’s income. Dividends paid to the recipient during the restriction period will be taxable as compensation income to the recipient at the time paid and will be deductible at such time by the Company. The recipient of a restricted stock award may, by filing an election with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the date of grant of the restricted stock award, elect to be taxed at the time of grant of the award on the excess of the then fair market value of the shares of Company common stock over the amount paid by the recipient, if any, in which case (1) the Company will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income realized by the recipient in the taxable year in which the amount is included in the recipient’s income, (2) dividends paid to the recipient during the restriction period will be taxable as dividends to the recipient and not deductible by the Company, and (3) there will be no further tax consequences to either the recipient or the Company when the restrictions lapse. In the case of a recipient who is also an employee, any amount included in income will constitute wages for which withholding will be required.
Stock Units, Performance Units, and Performance Shares.  An employee who is awarded one or more stock units, performance unitsand/or performance shares will not recognize income and the Company will not be allowed a deduction at the time the award is made. When an employee receives payment for such awards in cash or shares of common stock, the amount of the cash and the fair market value of the shares of common stock received will be ordinary income to the employee and will be allowed as a deduction for federal income tax purposes to the Company. The Company will be entitled to a deduction equal in amount to the ordinary income realized by the recipient in the year paid. In the case of a recipient who is an employee, any amount included in income will constitute wages for which withholding will be required.
Section 162(m) Limit.  Code section 162(m) generally limits a public company’s federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to any of its executive officers to $1,000,000 per year. However, certain “performance-based compensation” paid to such officers is exempt from the $1,000,000 annual deduction limit.
The Plan is designed to enable the Company to provide grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares under the Plan to the Company’s executive officers that will satisfy the requirements of the exception of section 162(m) for performance-based compensation. The Plan is also designed so that awards of restricted stock and stock units under the Plan may be made in a manner which satisfies the performance-based compensation exception of section 162(m). Accordingly, (i) the right to receive a share of common stock or cash in payment of a stock option, stock appreciation right, performance unit or performance share award, and, (ii) if the Committee intends that a restricted stock or stock unit award satisfy the performance-based compensation exception, the vesting of such stock or stock units, will be contingent upon the achievement of objective performance goals established by the Committee at the time of grant.
Under the Plan, a performance goal will be based on one or more of the following criteria: earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); net or operating income; earnings per share; expense reductions; return on investment; combined net worth; debt to equity ratio; operating cash flow; return on total capital, equity, or assets; total shareholder return; or changes in the market price of the


27


Company’s common stock. The criteria selected by the Committee from the foregoing list may relate to the Company, one or more of its affiliates, divisions, units, or any combination of the Company, its affiliates, divisions, or units. Performance goals may be based on the performance of the Company generally or relative to peer company performance and may be based on a comparison of actual performance during a performance period against budget for such period. A performance goal may include a threshold level of performance below which no vesting or payout will occur, target levels at which full vesting or a full payout will occur and (or) a maximum level at which specified additional vesting or a specified additional payout will occur. The level of achievement of a performance goal will be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be subject to certification by the Committee. Under the Plan, the Committee does have the discretion, to the extent such discretion is consistent with the “qualified performance-based exception” of the Code and its regulations, to make equitable adjustments to performance goals in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or a subsidiary or the financial statements of the Company or any subsidiary, or for changes in the law or accounting principles. Once a performance goal is established, the Committee will have no discretion to increase the amount of compensation that would otherwise be payable to a recipient upon attainment of the performance goal.
Income Tax Withholding.  Upon an employee’s realization of income from an award, the Company is generally obligated to withhold against the employee’s Federal and state income and employment tax liability. Payment of the withholding obligation can be made from other amounts due from the Company to the award recipient or with shares of Company common stock owned by the recipient. If the recipient elects to tender shares of Company common stock or to reduce the number of shares the recipient is otherwise entitled to receive to satisfy the withholding obligation, the shares tendered or reduced will be treated as having been sold to the Company.
Capital Gains.  Generally, under law in effect as of January 1, 2006, net capital gain (net long-term capital gain minus net short-term capital loss) is taxed at a maximum rate of 15%.
Special Considerations under Code Section 409A.
Code section 409A is effective in general for any compensation deferred under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan on or after January 1, 2005. Compensation deferred under a nonqualified plan prior to that date is also subject to the new requirements if the plan is “materially modified” on or after October 4, 2004. A nonqualified plan is materially modified if any new benefit or right is added to the plan or any existing benefit or right is enhanced.
If at any time during a taxable year a nonqualified deferred compensation plan fails to meet the requirements of Code section 409A, or is not operated in accordance with those requirements, all amounts (including earnings) deferred under the plan for the taxable year and all preceding taxable years, by any participant with respect to whom the failure relates, are includible in such participant’s gross income for the taxable year to the extent not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not previously included in gross income. If a deferred amount is required to be included in income under Code section 409A, the amount also is subject to an additional income tax and enhanced interest. The additional income tax is equal to twenty percent of the amount required to be included in gross income. The interest imposed is equal to the interest at the underpayment rate specified by the Internal Revenue Service, plus one percentage point, imposed on the underpayments that would have occurred had the compensation been includible in income for the taxable year when first deferred, or if later, when not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
In addition, the requirements of Code section 409A are applied as if (a) a separate plan or plans is maintained for each participant, and (b) all compensation deferred with respect to a particular participant under an account balance plan is treated as deferred under a single plan, all compensation deferred under a nonaccount balance plan is treated as deferred under a separate single plan, all compensation deferred under a plan that is neither an account balance plan nor a nonaccount balance plan (for example, equity-based compensation) is treated as deferred under a separate single plan, and all compensation deferred pursuant to an involuntary separation pay arrangement is treated as deferred under a separate single plan. Thus, if a plan failure under Code section 409A relates only to a single participant, then only the compensation deferred by that particular participant will be includable in gross income and subject to the additional income tax and interest; but any amount deferred by the participant under a different


28


plan of a similar basic type will be includable in the participant’s gross income and subject to the additional income tax and interest as well.
In general, stock options and SARs do not provide for a deferral of compensation subject to Code section 409A if (i) the underlying stock is the highest value common stock of the service recipient; (ii) the exercise price is equal to and can never become less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the time of grant; and (iii) the option or appreciation right is not modified, renewed or extended after the date of grant in a way that would cause the option to provide for a deferral of compensation or additional deferral feature. Restricted stock awards generally do not provide for a deferral of compensation subject to Code section 409A, unless (i) the award is received more than 21/2 months beyond the end of the first taxable year (employee’s or employer’s, whichever is later) in which the legally binding right to such award arises and is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and (ii) the award includes at least some shares that are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture at the time the award is received. In each case, the Plan has been designed with the intent that the arrangements under which participants receive stock options, SARs, and restricted stock do not provide for a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code section 409A.
An award of stock units, performance units, or performance shares provides for a deferral of compensation subject to Code section 409A if payment of such an award occurs more than 21/2 months after the end of the first taxable year (employee’s or employer’s, whichever is later) in which the legally binding right to the award arises and is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
Under the Plan, stock units, performance units, and performance shares are all potentially subject to Code section 409A. Stock units are potentially subject to Code section 409A because payment of stock units may occur on the award recipient’s termination of employment or upon a fixed date which in either case could be more than 21/2 months beyond the end of the first taxable year in which the stock units are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Under the Plan, the Committee also has the discretion to waive any or all payment limitations in respect to an award of stock units. Such a waiver could also result in the stock units being paid more than 21/2 months beyond the end of the first taxable year in which the stock units are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
Because participants are not able to submit initial deferral elections with respect to stock units or elections as to the time or form of payment of stock units, the requirements of Code section 409A as they relate to these elections do not apply. Similarly, because stock units are only payable upon certain fixed times or events and because there is a six-month delay for payments upon termination of employment to specified employees, this arrangement satisfies the requirements under Code section 409A regarding permissible distribution events and times. Finally, the Plan includes a provision prohibiting the acceleration of the timing or schedule of payment of stock units to any participant, except in the limited circumstances specifically permitted under Code section 409A. Thus, the Plan has been designed with the intent that the arrangement under which participants receive stock units complies with the requirements of Code section 409A.
Similarly, an award of performance units or performance shares under the Plan is potentially subject to Code section 409A, because the Committee has the discretion to waive any or all payment limitations in respect to such an award. Such a waiver could result in the performance units or performance shares being paid more than 21/2 months beyond the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
However, because participants are not able to submit initial deferral elections with respect to performance units or performance shares or elections as to the time or form of payment of performance units or performance shares, the requirements of Code section 409A as they relate to these elections do not apply. Similarly, because performance units and performance shares are only payable upon certain fixed times (generally, the year after the year in which the performance period ends or would have ended) or fixed events (in certain circumstances, termination of employment) and because there is a six-month delay for payments upon termination of employment to specified employees, this arrangement satisfies the requirements under Code section 409A regarding permissible distribution events and times. Thus, the Plan has been designed with the intent that the arrangement under which participants receive performance units and performance shares complies with the requirements of Code section 409A.

New Plan Benefits
As described in “Director Compensation” on page 6, the Board has approved a resolution providing for annual grants of restricted stock under the Plan to each director of the Company who is not otherwise an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Non-Executive Director Group”), subject to the approval of the amendments to and restatement of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Board believes that equity compensation enhances alignment of the interests of the Non-Executive Director Group with those of other stockholders.
On February 8, 2006, the Board also approved grants of performance shares under the Plan to certain of the Company’s executives.
The following New Plan Benefits table provides certain information with respect to such grants of restricted stock and performance shares:

(a)This number represents the target dollar value of performance shares awarded. The actual dollar value will depend on several factors, including (i) the number of performance shares that are earned, as determined after the end of the performance period based on the level at which the applicable performance goals have been achieved; and (ii) the fair market value of stock, as defined in the Plan, on the date on which earned performance shares are paid out.
(b)This number represents the target number of performance shares awarded. The actual number of performance shares earned could range from 0% to 175% of this target number, depending on the level at which performance goals are achieved, as determined at the end of the applicable performance period. Earned performance shares are paid out after the performance period 40% in cash and 60% in stock.
(c)For the restricted stock awards to the Non-Executive Directors, the dollar value is fixed at $165,000 for the three year term. The actual number of shares will be determined based on the fair market value of stock, as defined in the Plan, on the grant date, which is expected to be in July 2006.
Other than the performance share awards and the restricted stock awards to the Non-Executive Director Group shown above on the New Plan Benefits table, no awards have been made to date under the Plan in 2006. Awards for which benefits may be paid under the Plan are made at the discretion of the Committee, subject to the maximum plan and maximum individual limitations described above. In addition, the actual benefits that will be paid under the Plan will depend upon a number of factors, including the market value of the Company’s common stock on future dates, and in the case of performance units, performance shares and restricted stock with vesting based on the


30


achievement of one or more performance goals, actual performance of the Company (both absolutely, and in some cases, as measured against the performance of peer companies), and decisions made by performance share recipients. Since these factors are not known at this time, the benefits or amounts paid under the Plan, and the market value of such awards, other than the grants to the Non-Executive Director Group shown above, are not yet determinable. In addition, because of these unknown variables, it is not possible to determine any other benefits that might be received by recipients under the Plan.
As of February 1, 2006, the number of stock options outstanding under our equity compensation plans, the weighted average exercise price of outstanding options, and the number of securities remaining available for issuance were as follows:

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR”Aggregate fees including expenses billed to us for the appointment ofyears ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, for professional services performed by Deloitte & Touche, LLPwere as follows:
  
2006 
  
2005 
 
        Audit Fees and Expenses (1) $4,236,600  $3,672,300     
        Audit-Related Fees (2) $348,900  $248,500 
        Tax Fees (3) $346,700  $266,000     
        All Other Fees (4) $  $ 
         
        Totals $4,932,200  $4,186,800 
 
(1) Audit fees and expenses are for professional services performed to comply with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), including the recurring audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. This category also includes fees for audits provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or services that generally only the principal auditor reasonably can provide to a client.  
(2) Audit-related fees are for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This category includes fees related to services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings (e.g., comfort letters, consents), review of response to SEC comment letters, consultations by the Company's management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions or events and/or the actual or potential impact of final or proposed rules, standards or interpretations by the SEC, PCAOB, FASB, or other regulatory or standard setting bodies, assistance in financial due diligence related to acquisitions, and audits of financial statements of employee benefit plans and various attest services.
(3) Tax fees are for professional services provided by Deloitte & Touche in connection with tax compliance and tax planning.
(4) All other fees are for products and services other than the services reported above.
    Your Audit Committee has adopted procedures for pre-approving all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.firm, including the fees and terms of such services. These procedures include reviewing detailed back-up documentation for audit and permitted non-audit services. The documentation includes a description of, and a budgeted amount for, particular categories of non-audit services that are recurring in nature and therefore anticipated at the time that the budget is submitted. Audit Committee approval is required to exceed the pre-approved amount for a particular category of non-audit services and to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for any non-audit services not included in those pre-approved amounts. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee also considers whether the independent registered public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, based on such reasons as the auditor’s familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and whether the services enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risks and improve audit quality. The Audit Committee may form and delegate pre-approval authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members of the Audit Committee, and such subcommittees must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All of the services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved by your Audit Committee.

With respect to Awards granted to members of the Board who are not officers or employees of the Company, a subsidiary, or an Affiliate, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee subject to the approval of a majority of all members of the Board (including members of the Committee) who are “non-employee directors” within the

meaning ofRule 16b-3, and “independent directors” with the meaning of any applicable stock exchange rule. With respect to such Awards, all references to the “Committee” contained in the Plan shall be deemed and construed to mean the Committee, the decisions of which shall be subject to the approval of a majority of such members of the Board who are both “non-employee directors within the meaning ofRule 16b-3 and “independent directors” within the meaning of any applicable stock exchange rule.
The Committee shall have full authority to grant Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan to officers, employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates.
Among other things, the Committee shall have the authority, subject to the terms of the Plan:

The Committee may authorize the CEO to grant Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan covering up to ten thousand (10,000) shares of Stock per individual, per year, to officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates who are not (i) subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, nor (ii) “covered employees” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m)(3). Any such authorization so made shall be consistent with recommendations made by the Board’s Compensation Committee to the Board regarding non-CEO compensation, incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans. When such authorization is so made by the Committee, the CEO shall have the authority of the Committee described in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), and 3(d) of the Plan with respect to the granting of such Awards; provided, however, that the Committee may limit or qualify such authorization in any manner it deems appropriate.
The Committee may also authorize the CEO to grant Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan covering up to ten thousand (10,000) shares of Stock per individual, as an inducement to an individual to accept an offer of employment, including Awards to individuals who may become, upon accepting an offer of employment, (i) officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or (ii) “covered employees” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m)(3).

When such authorization is so made by the Committee, the CEO shall have the authority of the Committee described in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), and 3(d) of the Plan with respect to the granting of such Awards; provided, however, that the Committee may limit or qualify such authorization in any manner it deems appropriate.
The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable, to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any agreement relating thereto) and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.
The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office, except that the members thereof may (i) delegate all or a portion of the administration of the Plan to one or more officers of the Company, provided that no


B-4


such delegation may be made that would cause Awards or other transactions under the Plan to cease to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or to cease to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning ofSection 1.162-27(e) of the Income Tax Regulations in instances where the Committee has intended that an Award so qualify, and (ii) authorize any one or more of their number or any officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee.
Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority pursuant to the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee or such delegate at the time of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee or any appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan participants.
In addition to such other rights of indemnification from the Company as they may have, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except that such member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties; provided that within sixty (60) days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, the member shall in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.
Section 4.  Stock Subject To Plan; Individual Limitations.
(a) Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the total number of shares of Stock of the Company available for Awards under the Plan, including with respect to Incentive Stock Options, shall be five million (5,000,000) shares.

No “covered employee,” as such term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, shall in any fiscal year of the Company be granted Performance Units of a value exceeding when paid three million dollars ($3,000,000) in cash or in property other than Stock, but excluding from this limitation including any additional amounts credited to the participant as interest or dividend equivalents.
(c) The Stock to be delivered under the Plan may be made available from authorized but unissued shares of Stock, treasury stock, or shares of Stock purchased on the open market.
(d) With respect to Awards under the Plan,
(i) If any shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated without being exercised, or if any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right (whether granted alone or in conjunction with a Stock Option) is exercised for or paid in cash, shares subject to such Awards that are forfeited, cancelled, terminated without being exercised, or paid in cash shall again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan;
(ii) If any Stock Unit, Performance Unit, or Performance Share is cancelled, forfeited, terminates in whole or in part without the delivery of Stock or is paid in cash, shares subject to such Awards that are so cancelled, forfeited, terminated or paid in cash shall again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan;


B-5


(iii) If an Award recipient tenders shares of previously-acquired Stock in satisfaction of applicable withholding tax obligations, or if any shares of Stock covered by an Award are not delivered to the Award recipient because such shares are withheld to satisfy applicable withholding tax obligations, such shares shall again be available for further Award grants under the Plan; and
(iv) If an Award recipient tenders shares of previously-acquired Stock in payment of the option price upon exercise of a Stock Option or if shares of Stock are withheld in payment of the option price, the number of shares represented thereby shall again be available for further Award grants under the Plan.
(e) Subject to Sections 6(l) and 7(f), below, in the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary distribution with respect to the Stock or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, the Committee or Board may make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, in the number, kind and option price of shares subject to outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in the number and kind of shares subject to other outstanding Awards granted under the Planand/or such other substitution or adjustments in the consideration receivable upon exercise as it may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. Such adjusted option price shall also be used to determine the amount payable by the Company upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right associated with any Stock Option.
Section 5.  Eligibility.
Officers, employees and directors of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and profitability of the business of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates, as determined by the Committee, are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan. However, no grant of Incentive Stock Options, Performance Units, or Performance Shares shall be made to a director who is not an officer or a salaried employee of the Company, a subsidiary, or an Affiliate.
Section 6.  Stock Options.
Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan and may be of two types: Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve.
A Stock Option shall entitle the optionee to purchase one or more shares of Stock, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee shall have the authority to grant participants Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights), provided however, that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code). To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or even if so designated does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Stock Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements, the terms and provisions of which may differ. An Award Agreement providing for the grant of Stock Options shall indicate on its face whether it is intended to be an agreement for an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The grant of a Stock Option shall occur on the date the Committee by resolution selects an individual to be a participant in any grant of a Stock Option, determines the number of shares of Stock to be subject to such Stock Option to be granted to such individual and specifies the terms and provisions of the Stock Option. The Company shall notify a participant of any grant of a Stock Option, and a written Award Agreement or Award Agreements shall be duly executed and delivered by the Company to the participant.
Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the optionee affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.


B-6


Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem desirable:
(a) Option Price.   The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, and shall not be and shall never become less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Stock Option on the date of grant.
(b) Option Term.   The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the Stock Option is granted.
(c) Exercisability.   Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. If the Committee provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine. In addition, the Committee may at any time, in whole or in part, accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Option.
(d) Method of Exercise.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased.
The option price of Stock to be purchased upon exercise of any Option shall be paid in full in cash (by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept) or, if and to the extent set forth in the Award Agreement, may also be paid by one or more of the following: (i) in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the optionee (and, in the case of the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock subject to an Award hereunder) based in any such instance on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Option is exercised; provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of already owned shares of Stock may be authorized only at the time the Stock Option is granted; (ii) by requesting the Company to withhold from the number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option that number of shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for all of the shares of Stock subject to such exercise; or (iii) by a combination thereof, in each case in the manner provided in the Award Agreement.
In the discretion of the Committee and if not prohibited by law, payment for any shares subject to a Stock Option may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company or its agent, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the purchase price. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms.
If payment of the option exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock, the number of shares of Stock to be received upon such exercise equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used for payment of the option exercise price shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions to which such Restricted Stock was subject, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.
No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefore has been made. Subject to any forfeiture restrictions that may apply if a Stock Option is exercised using Restricted Stock, an optionee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the Stock that is subject to such Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends) when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has given the representation described in Section 16(a), but shall have no rights of a stockholder of the Company prior to such notice of exercise, full payment, and if requested providing the representation described in Section 16(a).
(e) Transferability of Stock Options.  No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or, in the Committee’s discretion, pursuant to a written beneficiary designation, (ii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder), or (iii) in the Committee’s discretion, pursuant to a gift to such optionee’s “immediate family” members directly, or


B-7


indirectly by means of a trust, partnership, or limited liability company. Subject to the terms of this Plan and the relevant Award Agreement, all Stock Options shall be exercisable only by the optionee, guardian, legal representative or beneficiary of the optionee or permitted transferee, it being understood that the terms “holder” and “optionee” include any such guardian, legal representative or beneficiary or transferee. For purposes of this Section 6(e), “immediate family” shall mean, except as otherwise defined by the Committee, the optionee’s spouse, children, siblings, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, in-laws and persons related by legal adoption. Such transferees may transfer a Stock Option only by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In no event may a participant transfer an Incentive Stock Option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The transfer of Stock Options to a third party for value is prohibited.
(f) Termination by Death.  If an optionee’s employment terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of one (1) year (or such other period as the Committee may specify in the Award Agreement) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of Termination of Employment due to death, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(g) Termination by Reason of Disability.  If an optionee’s employment terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of three (3) years (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify in the Award Agreement) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such three-year period (or such shorter period), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such three-year (or such shorter) period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(h) Termination by Reason of Retirement.  If an optionee’s employment terminates by reason of Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of three (3) years (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify in the Award Agreement) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such three-year (or such shorter) period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such three-year (or such shorter) period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a NonQualified Stock Option.
(i) Other Termination.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if an optionee incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Optionee shall thereupon terminate, except that such Stock Option, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, may be exercised for the lesser of one (1) year from the date of such Termination of Employment or the balance of such Stock Option’s term if such Termination of Employment of the optionee is involuntary and without Cause; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such one-year period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall notwithstanding the expiration of such one-year period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which


B-8


it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of Termination of Employment for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, for the purposes of the Plan “Cause” shall mean (i) the participant’s conviction of, or entering a guilty plea, no contest plea or nolo contendre plea to any felony or to any crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude under Federal law or the law of the state in which such action occurred, (ii) dishonesty in the course of fulfilling the participant’s employment duties or (iii) willful and deliberate failure on the part of the participant to perform his employment duties in any material respect.
(j) Cashing Out of Stock Option.  On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of the shares of Stock for which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the optionee an amount, in cash or Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Stock over the option price times the number of shares of Stock for which to the Option is being exercised on the effective date of such cash out.
(k) Change in Control Cash Out.  During the sixty-day(60-day) period from and after a Change in Control (the “Exercise Period”), the Committee may, but shall not be required to, permit an Optionee with respect to any outstanding Stock Option, whether or not the Stock Option is fully exercisable, and in lieu of the payment of the exercise price for the shares of Stock being purchased under the Stock Option and by giving notice to the Company, to elect (within the Exercise Period) to surrender all or part of the Stock Option to the Company and to receive cash, within thirty (30) days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Change in Control Price per share of Stock on the date of such election shall exceed the exercise price per share of Stock under the Stock Option (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number of shares of Stock granted under the Stock Option as to which the right granted under this Section 6(k) shall have been exercised; provided, however, that if the Change in Control is within six (6) months of the date of grant of a particular Stock Option held by an optionee who is an officer or director of the Company and is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, no such election shall be made by such optionee with respect to such Stock Option prior to six (6) months from the date of grant. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the end of such sixty-day period from and after a Change in Control is within six (6) months of the date of grant of a Stock Option held by an optionee who is an officer or director of the Company and is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, such Stock Option shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment to the optionee, effected on the day which is six (6) months and one (1) day after the date of grant of such Option, equal to the Spread multiplied by the number of shares of Stock granted under the Stock Option.
(l) Modification.   Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, no Modification shall be made in respect to any Stock Option if such Modification would result in the Stock Option constituting a deferral of compensation or having an additional deferral feature.
(m) Subject to Subjection (n) below, a “Modification” for purposes of Subsection (l), above, shall mean any change in the terms of a Stock Option (or change in the terms of the Plan or applicable Award Agreement) that may provide the holder of the Stock Option with a direct or indirect reduction in the exercise price of the Stock Option, or an additional deferral feature, or an extension or renewal of the Stock Option, regardless of whether the holder in fact benefits from the change in terms. An extension of a Stock Option refers to the granting to the holder of an additional period of time within which to exercise the Stock Option beyond the time originally prescribed. A renewal of a Stock Option is the granting by the Company of the same rights or privileges contained in the original Award Agreement for the Stock Option on the same terms and conditions.
(n) Notwithstanding Subsection (m) above, it shall not be a Modification to change the terms of a Stock Option in any of the ways or for any of the purposes specifically described in published guidance of the Internal Revenue Service as not resulting in a modification, extension or renewal of a stock right or the granting of a new stock right.
(o) Subsequent to its grant, the exercise period of a Stock Option shall not be extended to a date beyond the later of (i) the date that is the 15th day of the third month following the date on which, or (ii) the


B-9


December 31 of the calendar year in which, the Stock Option would have otherwise ceased being exercisable if the exercise period of the Stock Option had not been extended, based on the terms of the Stock Option at the original date of grant, if such extension would result in a Modification of the Stock Option prohibited by Subsection (l), above.
(p) Except for adjustments as permitted by Section 4(e), once granted hereunder, the option price of a Stock Option shall not be adjusted.

(b) Freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights.  A Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to Section 7(a), shall be exercisable as determined by the Committee, but in no event after ten years from the date of grant. The base price of a Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right shall be and shall never become less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on date of grant. A Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the holder, upon receipt of such right, to a cash payment determined by multiplying (i) the difference between the base price of the Stock Appreciation Right and the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right, by (ii) the number of shares of Stock as to which such Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. A Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by giving written notice of exercise to the Company or its designated agent specifying the number of shares of Stock as to which Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised.
(c) Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.  A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an optionee in accordance with Section 7(d) by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.

A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the forfeiture, termination, or exercise of the related Stock Option.
(ii) Upon the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of Stock or both equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock over the option price per share specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment.
(iii) Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only to permitted transferees of the underlying Stock Option in accordance with Section 6(e).
(iv) Upon the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option or part thereof to which such Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the


B-10


purpose of the limitation set forth in Section 4 on the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, but only to the extent of the number of shares covered by the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right at the time of exercise based on the value of the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right at such time.
(e) In the case of any Stock Appreciation Right providing for, or in which the Committee has determined to make payment in whole or in part in Stock, the holder thereof shall have no rights of a stockholder of the Company prior to the proper exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right, and if requested, prior to providing the representation described in Section 16(a), and the issuance of Stock in respect thereof.
(f) Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, no Modification shall be made in respect to any Stock Appreciation Right if such Modification would result in the Stock Appreciation Right constituting a deferral of compensation or having an additional deferral feature.

An extension of a Stock Appreciation Right refers to the granting to the holder of an additional period of time within which to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right beyond the time originally prescribed. A renewal of a Stock Appreciation Right is the granting by the Company of the same rights or privileges contained in the original Award Agreement for the Stock Appreciation Right on the same terms and conditions.
(h) Notwithstanding Subsection (g) above, it shall not be a Modification to change the terms of a Stock Appreciation Right in any of the ways or for any of the purposes specifically described in published guidance of the Internal Revenue Service as not resulting in a modification, extension or renewal of a stock right or the granting of a new stock right.
(i) Subsequent to its grant, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be extended to a date beyond the later of (i) the date that is the 15th day of the third month following the date on which, or (ii) the December 31 of the calendar year in which, the Stock Appreciation Right would have otherwise ceased being exercisable if the exercise period of Stock Appreciation Right had not been extended, based on the terms of the Stock Appreciation Right at the original date of grant, if such extension would result in a Modification of the Stock Appreciation Right prohibited by Subsection (f), above.

B-12


times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, and any other terms and conditions of the Awards in addition to those contained in Section 9(b).

(c) Change in Control Price.  For purposes of the Plan, “Change in Control Price” means the higher of (i) the highest reported sales price, regular way, of a share of Stock in any transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or other national exchange on which such shares are listed or on NASDAQ during the sixty-day(60-day) period prior to and including the date of a Change in Control or (ii) if the Change in Control is the result of a tender or exchange offer or a Business Combination, the highest price per share of Stock paid in such tender or exchange offer or Business Combination; provided, however, that (X) in the case of a Stock Option which (I) is held by an optionee who is an officer or director of the Company and is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and (II) was granted within two hundred forty (240) days of the Change in Control, then the Change in Control Price for such Stock Option shall be the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Stock Option is exercised or cancelled and (Y) in the case of Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights relating to Incentive Stock Options, the Change in Control Price shall be in all cases the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Incentive Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such transaction described above consists all or in part of securities or other non-cash consideration, the value of such securities or other non-cash consideration shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board.


B-17


Section 13.  Term, Amendment and Termination.
Unless terminated sooner by the Board, the Plan will terminate on the date that immediately precedes the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Plan’s effective date. Awards outstanding as of the date on which the Plan terminates shall not be affected or impaired by the termination of the Plan.
The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan at any time, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would (i) impair the rights of a participant under an Award theretofore granted without the participant’s consent, except such an amendment made to cause the Plan to qualify for the exemption provided byRule 16b-3 or for Awards to qualify for the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception provided bySection 1.162-27(e) of the Income Tax Regulations (where the Committee has intended that such Awards qualify for the exception), (ii) disqualify the Plan from the exemption provided byRule 16b-3, or (iii) extend the term of the Plan. In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by law or agreement.
The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any holder without the holder’s consent except such an amendment made to cause the Plan or Award to qualify for the exemption provided byRule 16b-3 or for the Award to qualify for the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception provided by Section 1.162-27(e) of the Income Tax Regulations (where the Committee has intended that such Award qualify for the exception).
Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have the authority to amend the Plan and the terms of any Award theretofore granted to take into account changes in law and tax and accounting rules.
Section 14.  Unfunded Status of Plan.
It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Stock or make payments; provided, however, that, unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.
Section 15.  Cancellation and Rescission of Awards.
The Committee may cancel, declare forfeited, or rescind any unexercised, undelivered, or unpaid Award upon its determining that (i) a participant has violated the terms of the Plan or the Award Agreement under which such Award has been made, or (ii) the participant has committed a Breach of Conduct. In addition, for a period of one (1) year following the exercise, payment or delivery of an Award, the Committee may rescind any such exercise, payment or delivery of an Award upon its determining that the participant committed a Breach of Conduct prior to the exercise, payment or delivery of the Award, or within six (6) months thereafter.
In the case of an Award’s cancellation, forfeiture, or rescission due to a Breach of Conduct by reason of the participant’s conviction of, or entering a guilty plea, no contest plea or nolo contendre plea to any felony or to any crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude, the Committee’s determination that a participant has committed a Breach of Conduct, and its decision to require rescission of an Award’s exercise, payment or delivery shall be conclusive, binding, and final on all parties. In all other cases, the Committee’s determination that a participant has violated the terms of the Plan or the Award, or has committed a Breach of Conduct, and the Committee’s decision to cancel, declare forfeited or rescind an Award or to require rescission of an Award’s exercise, payment or delivery shall be conclusive, binding, and final on all parties unless the participant makes a written request to the Committee to review such determination and decision within thirty (30) days of the Committee’s written notice of such actions to the participant. In the event of such a written request, the members of the Board who are “independent directors” within the meaning of the applicable stock exchange rule (including members of the Committee) shall review the Committee’s determination no later than the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. If, following its review, such directors approve, by a majority vote, (i) the Committee’s determination that the participant violated the terms of the Plan or the Award or committed a Breach of Conduct, and (ii) the Committee’s decision to cancel, declare forfeited, or rescind the Award, such determination and decision shall thereupon be conclusive, binding, and final on all parties.


B-18


In the event an Award is rescinded, the affected participant shall repay or return to the Company any cash amount, Stock, or other property received from the Company upon the exercise, payment or delivery of such Award (or, if the participant has disposed of the Stock or other property received and cannot return it, its cash value at the time of exercise, payment or delivery), and, in the case of Stock or other property delivered to the participant, any gain or profit realized by the participant in a subsequent sale or other disposition of such Stock or other property. Such repayment and (or) delivery shall be on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall prescribe.
Section 16.  General Provisions.
(a) The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.
All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for shares of Stock under the Plan prior to (i) obtaining approval from any governmental agency which the Company determines is necessary or advisable, (ii) admission of such shares to listing on the stock exchange on which the Stock may be listed, and (iii) completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body which the Company determines to be necessary or advisable.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, the following shall apply to any person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, except in the case of death or disability or unless Section 16 shall be amended to provide otherwise than as described below, in which event this Plan shall be amended to conform to Section 16, as amended:
(i) Restricted stock or other equity securities (within the meaning used inRule 16b-3) offered pursuant to this Plan must be held by the person for at least six (6) months from the date of grant; and
(ii) At least six (6) months must elapse from the date of acquisition of any Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Stock Unit, Performance Share, Performance Unit or other derivative security (within the meaning used inRule 16b-3) issued pursuant to the Plan to the date of disposition of such derivative security (other than upon exercise or conversion) or its underlying security.
(c) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees.
(d) The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.
(e) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, its subsidiaries and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including the making of irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Stock.


B-19


(f) At the time of grant, the Committee may provide in connection with any grant made under the Plan that the shares of Stock received as a result of such grant shall be subject to a right of first refusal pursuant to which the participant shall be required to offer to the Company any shares that the participant wishes to sell at the then Fair Market Value of the Stock, subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may specify at the time of grant.
(g) The reinvestment of cash dividends in additional shares of Restricted Stock, and the crediting of dividend equivalents or interest equivalents (if such interest equivalents are payable in Stock when distributed) on Stock Units or on the deferred payment of Stock Units, Performance Units or Performance Shares shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of Stock are available under Section 4 (taking into account then outstanding Awards).
(h) The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the participant’s death are to be paid.
(i) It is intended that payments under the Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units, and Performance Shares provisions of the Plan to recipients who are “covered officers” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of 1.162-27(e) of the Income Tax Regulations. Awards of Restricted Stock may be designated by the Committee as intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” in the relevant Award Agreement. To the maximum extent possible, the Plan and the terms of any Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units, Performance Shares, and, where applicable, Restricted Stock, shall be so interpreted and construed.
(j) It is intended that Stock Options awarded pursuant to Section 6, Stock Appreciation Rights awarded pursuant to Section 7, and Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to Section 8 not constitute a “deferral of compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A. It is further intended that Performance Shares and Performance Units granted pursuant to Sections 10 and 11 not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A excepting, however, Performance Shares and Performance Units that become vested as a result of the Committee’s waiver of payment limitations prior to the end of the applicable Performance Period. Finally, it is intended that Stock Units awarded pursuant to Section 9, and Performance Units and Performance Shares that are or become vested as a result of the Committee’s waiver of payment limitations prior to the end of the applicable Performance Period satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 409A(2) through (a)(4) in all material respects. This Plan shall be interpreted for all purposes and operated to the extent necessary in order to comply with the intent expressed in this paragraph.
(k) If any provision of this Plan is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be impaired or affected thereby.
(l) The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without taking into account its conflict of laws provisions.
Section 17.  Effective Date of Amendment and Restatement.
The Plan was originally effective April 21, 2004, the date on which it was approved by shareholders of the Company, which shall continue to be the Plan’s effective date for purposes of Section 13. The amendments and restatement of the Plan shall be effective on the date the amended and restated Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company. As amended and restated, the Plan shall apply to any Awards granted prior to the effective date of the amendment and restatement that remain outstanding as of such date.
