Performance Objectives:

This Agreement, effective as of the Date of Award set forth above, is between Franklin Electric Co., Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), and the Participant named above. The parties hereto agree as follows:

The Plan provides a complete description of the terms and conditions governing the Award. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall govern. All capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan, unless specifically set forth otherwise herein. A copy of the Plan is attached hereto and the terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference.

1.   Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the provisions set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Plan, and in consideration of the agreements of the Participant herein provided, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock set forth above.

2.   Acceptance by Participant. The receipt of the Award is conditioned upon the execution of this Agreement by the Participant and the return of an executed copy of this Agreement to the Secretary of the Company no later than 60 days after the Award Date set forth therein or, if later, 30 days after the Participant receives this Agreement.

3.   Transfer Restrictions. Except as set forth in Section 8.1 of the Plan, none of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award (“Award Shares”) shall be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily, by the Participant (or his estate or personal representative, as the case may be), until such restrictions lapse in accordance with Sections 4 and 5 below.

4.   Lapse of Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in Section 3 above shall lapse on the last day of the Restriction Period if the Committee determines that the Performance Objectives described above have been met as of such date.

5.   Death, Disability or Retirement. To the extent the restrictions set forth in Section 3 above have not lapsed in accordance with Section 4 above:

(a)   In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company and all subsidiaries terminates due to the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, such restrictions shall lapse with respect to a number of Award Shares determined by multiplying the number of Award Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that have elapsed from the Date of Award to the termination of employment and service and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the Restriction Period. In such case, the Participant’s concurrent or subsequent termination of service on the Board shall have no effect on the remainder of the Award.

- 48 -

(b)   In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and all subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than death, disability or retirement, and the Participant’s service on the Board continues thereafter, the restrictions shall continue in effect. If the Participant’s service on the Board subsequently terminates, then, if the termination of service is due to death, disability or retirement, the restrictions shall lapse with respect to a number of Award Shares as described in (a) above based on the full months that have elapsed from the Date of Award to the Participant’s termination of service on the Board.

(c)   Award Shares with respect to which restrictions do not lapse shall be forfeited.

(d)   For purposes of this Section 5, (i) “disability” (A) while the Participant is employed, has the meaning, and will be determined, as set forth in the Company’s long term disability program in which the Participant participates, and (B) while the Participant is a Non-Employee Director, means (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) the inability of the Participant to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which is expected to result in death or disability or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months; and (ii) “retirement” (A) while the Participant is employed, means the Participant’s termination from employment with the Company and all subsidiaries without cause (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) when the Participant is 65 or older or 55 or older with 10 years of service with the Company and its subsidiaries, and (B) while the Participant is a Non-Employee Director, means termination of service on the Board when he is 70 or older.

6.   Forfeiture. The Award shall be forfeited to the Company (a) upon the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and all subsidiaries, and service on the Board, for any reason other than the Participant’s death, disability or retirement (as described in Section 5 above) that occurs prior to the date the restrictions lapse as provided in Section 4 above or (b) if at the end of the Restriction Period the Committee determines that the Performance Objectives are not met. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall be subject to the provisions of any written employment or severance agreement that has been or may be executed by the Participant and the Company, and the provisions in such employment or severance agreement concerning the lapse of restrictions of an Award shall supercede any inconsistent or contrary provision of this Section 6.

7.   Withholding Taxes. If applicable, the Participant shall pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all minimum Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate for Award Shares. Payment of such taxes may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, (ii) in cash received from a broker-dealer to whom the Participant has submitted a notice and irrevocable instructions to deliver to the Company proceeds from the sale of a portion of the shares subject to the Award, (iii) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock owned by the Participant that is acceptable to the Company, valued at its then fair market value, and/or (iv) by directing the Company to withhold such number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in connection with the Award with a fair market value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld.

8.   Rights as Shareholder. The Participant shall be entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the outstanding Award Shares, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends and other distributions payable with respect to such Award Shares from the Award Date.

9.   Escrow of Share Certificates. Certificates for the Award Shares shall be issued in the Participant’s name and shall be held in escrow by the Company until all restrictions lapse or such Award Shares are forfeited or resold to the Company as provided herein. A certificate or certificates representing the Award Shares as to which restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered to the Participant (or the Participant’s executor or personal representative in the case of the Participant’s death) upon such lapse of restrictions.

10.   Section 83(b) Election. The Participant may make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to recognize income with respect to the Award Shares before the restrictions lapse, by filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the Award Date and providing a copy of that filing to the Company.

- 49 -

It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant.
