WHEREAS, the Participant has been selected by the Committee to receive an award of Performance Shares under the Plan;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:

Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

(a)

The “Target Number of Performance Shares” is [ ].

(b)

The “Performance Shares Earned” shall be the number of Performance Shares earned by the Participant determined in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit 1, which is attached to and forms a part of this Agreement.

(c)

The “Award Cycle” is the period beginning on October 30, 2005 and ending on November 1, 2008.

Award. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Participant is hereby granted the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth in Paragraph 1(a). The award is a Qualified Performance-Based Award.

Distribution of Awards. The Company shall distribute to the Participant one share of Common Stock (or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock) for each Performance Share Earned. Subject to Paragraph 7, Performance Shares Earned shall be distributed solely in shares of Common Stock, solely in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, except that any fractional share of Common Stock will be rounded to the nearest whole share.

Time of Distribution. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shares and/or cash distributable in respect of Performance Shares Earned in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 3 will be distributed as soon as practicable after January 5, 2009, but in no event later than January 12, 2009.

Termination of Employment Due to Retirement, Disability, Death, or Involuntary Termination of Employment Without Cause During Award Cycle. If the Participant experiences a Termination of Employment during the Award Cycle because of the Participant’s Retirement, disability, death, or involuntary Termination of Employment without Cause, the Participant shall be entitled to a portion of the Performance Shares Earned in accordance with Exhibit 1, determined at the end of the Award Cycle. Such portion shall equal the number of Performance Shares Earned that would have been earned by the Participant had the Participant remained employed through the end of the Award Cycle (determined in accordance with Paragraph 4 of Exhibit 1), multiplied by the quotient equal to (A) the number of full fiscal months the Participant was employed during the Award Cycle divided by (B) the total number of fiscal months in the Award Cycle.

Other Termination of Employment During Award Cycle. If the Participant experiences a Termination of Employment during the Award Cycle for any reason other than the Participant’s Retirement, disability, death, or involuntary Termination of Employment without Cause, the award granted under this Agreement will be forfeited on the date of such Termination of Employment; provided, however, that in such circumstances the Committee, in its discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to receive a pro rata or other portion of the Performance Shares Earned, determined at the end of the Award Cycle.

Change in Control.

(a)

If a Change in Control occurs during the Award Cycle, and the Participant has not experienced a Termination of Employment before the Change in Control, the Participant shall be entitled to the greater of (i) the Performance Shares Earned that would have been earned by the Participant had the Participant remained employed through the end of the Award Cycle in accordance with Exhibit 1 if the Performance Goal set forth in Exhibit 1 had been achieved, multiplied by the quotient equal to the number of full fiscal months the Participant was employed during the Award Cycle through the date of the Change in Control, divided by the total number of fiscal months in the Award Cycle, or (ii) the Performance Shares Earned as of the date of the Change in Control (based on the Average Return on Equity for the Award Cycle through and including such date).

(b)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3, the value of Performance Shares Earned in accordance with Paragraph 7(a) shall be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum cash payment, based on a value per Performance Share equal to the Change in Control Price, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of a Change in Control (unless such Change in Control does not qualify as an event described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, in which case such distribution shall occur as soon as practicable following the first to occur of (i) January 12, 2009, (ii) (x) if the Participant is not a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) (a “Specified Employee”), the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment, or (y) if the Participant is a Specified Employee, the date which is six months after the date of such Termination of Employment, and (iii) the date the Participant dies or experiences a “disability” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(ii) and the regulations thereunder)).

(c)

Distributions to the Participant under Paragraph 3 shall not be affected by payments under this Paragraph 7, except that before distributions are made under Paragraph 3, and after all computations required under Paragraph 3 have been made, the number of Performance Shares Earned by the Participant shall be reduced by the number of Performance Shares Earned with respect to which payment was made to the Participant under this Paragraph 7.

(d)

The Participant shall not be required to repay any amounts to the Company on account of any distribution made under this Paragraph 7 for any reason, including failure to achieve the Performance Goal.

If the Participant fails to designate a beneficiary prior to his or her death, or if the designated beneficiary of the Participant dies before the Participant dies or before complete distribution of the amounts distributable under this Agreement, the amounts to be distributed under this Agreement shall be distributed to the legal representative or representatives of the estate of the last to die of the Participant and the beneficiary.

The Participant shall not communicate, divulge or disseminate Confidential Information at any time during or after the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, except with the prior written consent of the Company or as otherwise required by law or legal process. All computer software, business cards, telephone lists, customer lists, price lists, contract forms, catalogs, records, files and know-how acquired while an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates are acknowledged to be the property of the Company or the applicable Affiliate(s) and shall not be duplicated, removed from the possession or premises of the Company or such Affiliate(s) or made use of other than in pursuit of the business of the Company and its Affiliates or as may otherwise be required by law or any legal process, and, upon Termination of Employment for any reason, the Participant shall deliver to the Company (or the applicable Affiliate, if the Participant is employed outside the United States), without further demand, all such items and any copies thereof which are then in his or her possession or under his or her control. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit the Company’s or its Affiliates’ rights with respect to trade secrets.

(b)

The Participant acknowledges that his or her employment may place him or her in a position of contact and trust with customers of the Company or its Affiliates, and that in the course of employment the Participant may be given access to and asked to maintain and develop relationships with such customers. The Participant acknowledges that such relationships are of substantial value to the Company and its Affiliates and that it is reasonable for the Company to seek to prevent the Participant from giving competitors unfair access to such relationships.

(c)

For a two-year period beginning on the Termination of Employment date, the Participant will not, except upon prior written permission signed by the President or an Executive Vice President of the Company, consult with or advise or, directly or indirectly, as owner, partner, officer or employee, engage in business with (1) any of the companies set forth on Exhibit 2 or any of their successors or assigns or (2) any corporation or entity (A) controlled by, controlling or under common control with any such company and (B) engaged, directly or indirectly, in a business that competes with any business conducted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Exhibit 2 is attached to and forms a part of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may make and retain investments in not more than three percent of the equity of any such company if such equity is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in an over-the-counter market.

(d)

For a two-year period beginning on the Termination of Employment date, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly (i) employ or solicit for employment on behalf of any organization other than the Company or one of its Affiliates any person (other than any personal assistant hired to work directly for the Participant) employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any person who was so employed at any time during the preceding three months) or (ii) be involved in any way, on behalf of any organization other than the Company or one of its Affiliates, in the hiring process of any person (other than any personal assistant hired to work directly for the Participant) known by the Participant (after reasonable inquiry) to be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates at such time (or any person who was so employed at any time during the preceding three months).

(e)

In the event of a breach of the Participant’s covenants under this Paragraph 11, the award granted under this Agreement shall be forfeited as of the date of such breach. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that such forfeiture is not expected to adequately compensate the Company and its Affiliates for any such breach and that such forfeiture shall not substitute for or adversely affect the remedies to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is entitled under Paragraph 11(f) or at law.

(f)

In the event of a breach of the Participant’s covenants under this Paragraph 11, it is understood and agreed that the Company and any Affiliate(s) that employed the Participant shall be entitled to injunctive relief, as well as any other legal or equitable remedies. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Participant in Paragraphs 11(a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Agreement relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants, obligations or agreements will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, the Participant agrees that the Company and any Affiliate(s) that employed the Participant shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the Participant from committing any violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies that the Company or its Affiliates may have.

The Company and the Participant hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Wisconsin and the Federal courts of the United States of America, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in respect of all disputes involving Confidential Information, trade secrets or the violation of the provisions of this Paragraph 11 and the interpretation and enforcement of this Paragraph 11, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that (i) the sole and exclusive appropriate venue for any suit or proceeding relating to such matters shall be in such a court, (ii) all claims with respect to any such matters shall be heard and determined exclusively in such court, (iii) such court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute, and (iv) each hereby waives any and all objections and defenses based on forum, venue or personal or subject matter jurisdiction as they may relate to any suit or proceeding brought before such a court in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 11.
