                     Bonus Plan Statement of Purpose and Summary
                     -------------------------------------------


            1.1  The purpose of the Plan is to provide a system of bonus
                 compensation for certain executive, management and
                 technical personnel of Eli Lilly and Company and
                 subsidiaries which will promote the maximization of
                 shareholder value over the long term, by linking
                 performance incentives to increases in shareholder
                 value.  The Plan ties bonus compensation to Economic
                 Value Added ("EVA"), and thereby rewards employees for
                 long-term, sustained improvement in shareholder value.

            1.2  EVA will be used as the performance measure of value
                 creation.  EVA reflects the benefits and costs of
                 capital employment.  Employees create economic value
                 when the operating profits from a business exceed the
                 cost of the capital employed.

                          Definition and Components of EVA
                          --------------------------------


            The following terms set forth the calculation of EVA and the
            components of calculating EVA.  The calculation of EVA for a
            Plan Year is used in determining the bonuses earned by
            Participants under the Plan, as set forth in Article IV.

            3.1  "Economic Value Added" or "EVA" means the excess NOPAT
                  -----------------------------
                 that remains after subtracting the Capital Charge.

            3.2  "Net Operating Profit After Tax" or "NOPAT'' means the
                  -------------------------------------------
                 after tax operating earnings of the Company for the
                 Plan Year. NOPAT is determined by adding net sales plus
                 other income (excluding interest income from
                 operational cash) and subtracting the following:  cost
                 of goods sold, selling, general and administrative
                 expenses (excluding goodwill amortization and interest
                 expense), amortization of research and development,
                 taxes (excluding the tax benefit of net interest
                 expense) and amounts associated with discontinued
                 operations.


            3.3  Capital Charge" means the deemed opportunity cost of
                 --------------
                 employing Capital for the Company.  The Capital Charge
                 is calculated by multiplying Capital times Cost of
                 Capital (C*).

            3.4  "Capital" means the net investment employed in the
                  -------
                 operations of the Company produced by operations and
                 financing activities.  Capital  is calculated by adding
                 together current assets (excluding operating cash), net
                 property, plant and equipment, gross goodwill, net
                 intangibles, other assets, capitalized research and
                 development, and the present value of operating leases,
                 and subtracting the following:  non-interest bearing
                 liabilities and capital associated with discontinued
                 operations.

            3.5  "Cost of Capital" or "C*" is the percentage calculated
                  -----------------------
                 from the weighted average of Cost of Debt and Cost of
                 Equity.  Cost of Capital for each Plan Year is
                 determined by reference to the percentage calculated at
                 the end of October of the prior Plan Year.

                     Cost of Debt capital is the marginal long-term
                     borrowing rate of the Company times (one minus the
                     tax rate).  Cost of Equity capital is the risk-free
                     rate plus (beta times the market risk premium).


                                     ARTICLE IV

                     Definition and Computation of the EVA Bonus
                     -------------------------------------------


            Bonuses earned under the Plan for a Plan Year are determined
            based on a comparison of actual EVA to the "Target EVA" for
            the year, which is established as described below to ensure
            improvement in EVA from year to year.  The result of this
            comparison is adjusted by a "Leverage Factor" measuring the
            volatility of industry returns.  The factor produced is
            referred to as the "Bonus Multiple," which is multiplied by
            the Participant's "Target Bonus" amount established for the
            year to produce the actual bonus earned.  This amount,
            referred to as the "Declared Bonus," is credited to the
            Participant's "Bonus Bank" balance and paid out in the
            manner provided below.

            4.1  Target Bonus.  The Target Bonus Awards will be
                 determined by the Committee according to a schedule
                 that associates job responsibilities with a specified
                 dollar amount of Target Bonus. If a Participant moves
                 from one global job level to another during a Plan Year
                 by virtue of a change in job responsibilities (except
                 for changes as a result of moves to certain global job
                 levels designated by the Committee or changes between
                 part-time and full-time status) his or her Target Bonus
                 will not be changed for the Plan Year in which the move
                 occurs.  The Target Bonus will be based on the currency
                 in which the highest portion of base pay is regularly
                 paid.  The Committee shall determine the appropriate
                 foreign exchange conversion methodology in its
                 discretion.

            4.2  Declared Bonus.  A Declared Bonus is the Target Bonus
                 times the Bonus Multiple.

            4.3  Bonus Multiple.  The Bonus Multiple is Actual EVA minus
                 Target EVA over the Leverage Factor, plus one.

            4.4  Bonus Bank.  All bonus payments are made from the Bonus
                 Bank.  Each Participant's beginning Bonus Bank balance
                 in his/her first year of participation is zero.  The
                 Bonus Bank is increased or decreased for any plan year
                 by the amount of Declared Bonus.  If the available
                 Bonus Bank balance is positive, the participant will be
                 paid from such balance up to the Target Bonus amount,
                 plus one third of any such balance that remains after
                 subtracting the Target Bonus from available Bonus Bank
                 balance. If the available Bonus Bank balance is
                 negative, no payment will occur.

            4.5  Target EVA.   The Target EVA for each year shall be
                 calculated as follows:

 Target EVA = [Prior Year's Actual EVA + Prior Year's Target EVA]+Expected
               -------------------------------------------------  Improvement
                                      2

            4.6  Expected Improvement.  The Expected Improvement is the
                 additional EVA amount determined by the Committee that
                 is used to assure that a minimum level of improvement
                 is achieved in order to earn target awards.

            4.7  Leverage Factor.  The Leverage Factor determines the
                 rate of change in bonuses as EVA surpasses or falls
                 short of Target EVA, determined by the Committee from
                 an evaluation of the long term volatility of industry
                 returns.

            4.8  Working Plan Example.  Examples of the mechanics of the
                 Plan are shown on Schedule A.

            5.1  Time of Payment.  Payment from the Bonus Bank will be
                 made before March 1 of the year following the Plan
                 Year.

            5.2  Certification of Results.  Before any amount is paid
                 under the Plan, the Committee shall certify in writing
                 the calculation of EVA for the Plan Year and the
                 satisfaction of all other material terms of the
                 calculation of the Declared Bonus.

            5.3  New Hires, Promotions.  New hires or individuals
                 promoted who are first selected for participation by
                 the Committee effective on a date other than January 1
                 will participate on a pro-rata basis in their first
                 year of participation, based on the Declared Bonus
                 determined for the Plan Year, pro-rated for that period
                 of the year during which the Participant was selected
                 for participation in the Plan.

            5.4  Termination of Employment.  If a Participant ceases
                 employment with the Company before the end of a Plan
                 Year for reasons other than Retirement, Disability or
                 death, the Participant shall receive a fraction of a
                 Bonus for that Plan Year equal to the number of days
                 worked during the plan year divided by the total number
                 of days in the Plan Year, and his/her Bank Balance
                 shall be forfeited.  The Committee may make complete or
                 partial exceptions to this rule, with respect to the
                 Bank Balance only, in its sole discretion.

            5.5  Retirement, Disability or Death.  If a Participant
                 ceases employment with the Company because of
                 Retirement, Disability or death, the Participant or
                 personal representative, as the case may be, shall
                 receive full payment of his/her Bank Balance and a
                 bonus based on the Declared Bonus determined for the
                 Plan Year but pro-rated for that period of the year
                 during which the Participant was an active employee of
                 the Company.

            5.6  Plan Participation.  A Participant may not participate
                 in this Plan for any portion of a year for which he/she
                 is entitled to receive payment under the Eli Lilly and
                 Company Contingent Compensation Plan, and shall be
                 treated in accordance with 5.3.

                 to withhold the amount of taxes which in the sole

                 withheld under law with respect to any amount due or
                 payable under the Plan.

            6.2  Expenses.  All expenses and costs in connection with

                 employee any contractual or other right to participate
                 in the benefits of the Plan.  No award to any such
                 Participant in any Plan Year shall be deemed to create
                 a right to receive any award or to participate in the
                 benefits of the Plan in any subsequent Plan Year.

            6.4  Rights Personal to Employee.  Any rights provided to an

            6.5  Non-Allocation of Award.  In the event of a suspension
                 of the Plan in any Plan Year, as described in Section
                 11.1, no awards under the Plan for the Plan Year during
                 which such suspension occurs shall affect the
                 calculation of awards for any subsequent period in
                 which the Plan in continued.

                                     -----------


            7.1  No Continued Employment.  Neither the establishment of
                 the Plan nor the grant of an award thereunder shall be
                 deemed to constitute an express or implied contract of
                 employment of any Participant for any period of time or
                 in any way abridge the rights of the Company to
                 determine the terms and conditions of employment or to
                 terminate the employment of any employee with or
                 without notice or cause at any time.

            7.2  No Vested Rights.  Except as expressly provided herein,
                 no employee or other person shall have any claim of
                 right (legal, equitable, or otherwise) to any award,
                 allocation, or distribution or any right, title, or
                 vested interest in any amounts in his/her Bonus Bank
                 and no officer or employee of the Company or any other
                 person shall have any authority to make representations
                 or agreements to the contrary.  No interest conferred
                 herein to a Participant shall be assignable or subject

                 no Participant or other person shall have any right or
                 power, by draft, assignment, or otherwise, to mortgage,

                 time to time make such decisions and adopt such rules
                 and regulations for implementing the Plan as it deems
                 appropriate for any Participant under the Plan.  Except
                 as to Participants who are executive officers of the
                 Company, the Committee may delegate in writing to
                 officers or employees of the Company the power and
                 authority granted by this Section 8.1 to interpret and
                 administer this Plan.  Any decision taken by the
                 Committee, or officer or employee to whom authority has
                 been delegated, arising out of or in connection with
                 the construction, administration, interpretation and
                 effect of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and
                 binding upon all Participants and any person claiming
                 under or through Participants.

            8.2  Committee Discretion to Revise Rates and Amounts.  The
                 Committee may, in its sole discretion, revise the
                 various rates, amounts and percentages provided in the
                 Plan from time to time (including, without limitation,
                 with respect to each of the foregoing defined terms),
                 provided that the methods and assumptions used in
                 making such determinations shall be established and
