Agreement, the Secretary of Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may limit the
number, frequency or volume of successive exercises of any of
the Options in which payment is made, in whole or in part, by

prevent unreasonable pyramiding of such exercises.
(e) An exercise completed through the Customer Service Center or
Schwab OptionCenter(R), whether or not full payment of the
exercise price for the Option Shares is received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall constitute a binding contractual obligation by
you (or the other person entitled to exercise the Options) to
proceed with and complete that exercise of the Options (but
only so long as you continue, or the other person entitled to
exercise the Options continues, to be entitled to exercise
the Options on that date). By your acceptance of this Stock
Option Agreement, you agree (for yourself
-6-
and on behalf of any other person who becomes entitled to exercise
the Options) to pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in full the exercise price for
those Option Shares, that payment being by check, wire transfer, in
Shares or in a combination of check and Shares, on or before the
third business day after the date on which you complete the
transaction through the Customer Service Center. If such payment is
not made, you (for yourself and on behalf of any other person who
becomes entitled to exercise the Options) authorize Rockwell
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in its discretion, to set off against salary payments or
other amounts due or which may become due you (or the other person
entitled to exercise the Options) any balance of the exercise price
for those Option Shares remaining unpaid thereafter.
(f) An Exercise Confirmation representing the number of Option Shares
purchased will be issued the third business day (trade date plus
three business days) (i) after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received full
payment therefor or (ii) at Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇' or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
election in their sole discretion, after Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received (x) full payment of the exercise price of those
Option Shares and (y) any reimbursement in respect of withholding
taxes due pursuant to Section 5 herein.
4. Transferability; Nonassignability
You are not entitled to transfer the Options except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution.

with the exercise of the Options, in whole or in part, to deduct from any
payment to be made by Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ an amount equal
to the taxes required to be withheld by law with respect to such exercise
or to require you (or any other person entitled to exercise the Options)
to pay to it an amount sufficient to provide for any such taxes so
required to be withheld. By your acceptance of this Stock Option
Agreement, you agree (for yourself and on behalf of any other person who
becomes entitled to exercise the Options) that if Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ elects to require you (or such other person) to remit an
amount sufficient to pay such withholding taxes, you (or such other
person) must remit that amount within three business days after the
completion of the Option exercise as provided in Section 3(a)(ii) herein.
If such payment is not made, Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in its discretion, shall
have the same right of set-off as provided under Section 3(e) herein with
respect to payment of the exercise price for Option Shares.

prevent unreasonable pyramiding of such exercises.
(e) An exercise completed through the Customer Service Center, whether
or not full payment of the exercise price for the Option Shares is
received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall constitute a binding contractual
obligation by you (or the other person entitled to exercise the
Options) to proceed with and complete that exercise of the Options
(but only so long as you continue, or the other person entitled to
exercise the Options continues, to be entitled to exercise the
Options on that date). By your acceptance of this Stock Option

payment therefor or (ii) at Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇' or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
election in their sole discretion, after Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Option Shares and (y) any reimbursement in respect of withholding
taxes due pursuant to Section 5 herein.

Agreement, the Secretary of Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may limit the
number, frequency or volume of successive exercises of any of
the Options in which payment is made, in whole or in part, by

(e) An exercise completed through the Customer Service Center or Schwab
OptionCenter(R), whether or not full payment of the exercise price

yourself and on behalf of any other person who becomes entitled to
exercise the Options) to pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in full the exercise
price for those Option Shares, that payment being by check, wire
transfer, in Shares or in a
-6-
combination of check and Shares, on or before the third business day

Customer Service Center. If such payment is not made, you (for
yourself and on behalf of any other person who becomes entitled to
exercise the Options) authorize Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in its discretion,
to set off against salary payments or other amounts due or which may
become due you (or the other person entitled to exercise the
Options) any balance of the exercise price for those Option Shares
remaining unpaid thereafter.
(f) An Exercise Confirmation representing the number of Option Shares
purchased will be issued the third business day (trade date plus
three business days) (i) after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received full
payment therefor or (ii) at Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇' or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
election in their sole discretion, after Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received (x) full payment of the exercise price of those
Option Shares and (y) any reimbursement in respect of withholding
taxes due pursuant to Section 5 herein.
4. Transferability; Nonassignability

payment to be made by Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ an amount equal
to the taxes required to be withheld by law with respect to such exercise
or to require you (or any other person entitled to exercise the Options)
to pay to it an amount sufficient to provide for any such taxes so
required to be withheld. By your acceptance of this Stock Option
Agreement, you agree (for yourself and on behalf of any other person who
becomes entitled to exercise the Options) that if Rockwell ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ elects to require you (or such other person) to remit an
