Exhibit 4.1
MANPOWER 1990 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
Amended and Restated as of April 28, 1997
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to
provide employees of Manpower Inc. (the "Company") and
certain of its subsidiaries with an opportunity to
purchase Company common stock through annual offerings
to be made commencing on the 1st day of January (1st
day of May for 1990), and thus develop a stronger
incentive to work for the continued success of the
Company. Under this Plan, employees of United States
subsidiaries of the Company will be eligible to
purchase Company common stock under the provisions
hereof and employees of non-United States subsidiaries
will be eligible to purchase Company common stock
pursuant to the Manpower Foreign Subsidiary Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the "Foreign Plan"), the
provisions of which are fully incorporated herein and
are expressly deemed to be a part hereof. From time to
time, the Plan may, subject to Paragraph 3(a) hereof,
be adopted by certain subsidiaries of the Company as
determined by the Boards of Directors of such
subsidiaries (a "Participating Subsidiary"), provided
that the aggregate number of shares of common stock of
the Company authorized to be sold pursuant to options
granted under this Plan and the Foreign Plan is
2,250,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in
Paragraph 17 hereof. In computing the number of shares
available for grant, any shares relating to options
which are granted, but which subsequently lapse, are
canceled or are otherwise not exercised by the final
date for exercise, shall be deemed available for future
grants of options. It is the intention of the Company
to have the Plan qualify as an "employee stock purchase
plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code") of the United States with respect to
U.S. employees of the Company or a Participating
Subsidiary and, therefore, the provisions of the Plan
shall be construed so as to govern participation in a
manner consistent with the requirements of Section
423(b) of the Code.
2. Administration. Subject to the general
control of the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board") and the Executive Compensation Committee of
the Board (the "Executive Compensation Committee"), the
Plan shall be administered by a Stock Purchase
Plan Committee (the "Committee") which shall be
appointed by the Board, or with respect to employees of
a Participating Subsidiary, by the Board of Directors
thereof. The Committee shall consist of three (3)
members who shall serve without compensation, and who
need not be members of the applicable Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors of the Company or
the Participating Subsidiary may at any time replace a
member of such Committee. Any expenses of the
Committee shall be paid by the Company or the
Participating Subsidiary. The Committee may adopt
regulations not inconsistent with the provisions of
this Plan for the administration thereof, and its
interpretation and construction of the Plan and the
regulations shall be final and conclusive. Any action
to be taken by the Committee shall be on a vote of a
majority of the Committee either at a meeting or in
writing.
3. Eligibility.
(a) All employees of the Company or of any
Participating Subsidiary designated from time to
time by the Committee will be eligible to
participate in the Plan provided they have a
minimum period of continuous service with the
Company or a Participating Subsidiary, such period
to be determined by the Committee from time to
time, but in all events not to exceed two years,
subject to the additional limitations imposed
herein. Only subsidiaries that satisfy the
requirements of Section 424(f) of the Code shall
be entitled to participate in the Plan.
(b) Any provision of this Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, no employee shall be
granted an option:
(i) if, immediately after the
grant, such employee would own, and/or hold
outstanding options to purchase stock
possessing 5% or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of stock
of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary
of the Company within the meaning of Section
423 of the Code; or
(ii) which permits the employee's
rights to purchase stock under all employee
stock purchase plans, as defined in Section
423 of the Code, of the Company and its
subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which
exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of the
stock (determined at the time such option is
granted) for each calendar year in which such
stock option is outstanding at any time; or
(iii) if the employee's customary
employment does not meet certain requirements
for length of employment determined by the
Committee from time to time; provided,
however, that any such requirement for length
of employment shall comply with Section 423
of the Code.
4. Offerings. The Executive Compensation
Committee may authorize the Committee to make one or
more annual offerings to employees to purchase stock
under this Plan. The term of any offering, except the
first offering, shall be for a period of 12 months'
duration. For each offering, each eligible employee
shall be granted an option to purchase a number of
shares of the Company equal to $25,000 divided by 100%
of the Fair Market Value of a share of stock of the
Company on the date immediately preceding the Effective
Date of the Offering (as defined in Paragraph 12(a)
hereof).
5. Participation. An employee eligible on the
Effective Date of any Offering (as defined in Paragraph
12(a) hereof) may participate in such offering by
completing and forwarding a payroll deduction
authorization form to his appropriate payroll location
before August 1st of the offering period. The form
will authorize a regular payroll deduction from the
employee's pay.
6. Deductions. The Company or its Participating
Subsidiary will maintain payroll deduction accounts for
all participating employees. With respect to any
offering made under this Plan, an employee may
authorize a regular payroll deduction in multiples of
$5.00.
7. Deduction Changes. An employee may increase
or decrease his payroll deduction by filing a new
payroll deduction authorization form before August 1st
of the offering period. The change may not become
effective sooner than the next pay period after receipt
of the form. A payroll deduction may be increased only
once and reduced only once during the term of any
offering period.
8. Withdrawal From Participation in an Offering.
An employee may, at any time and for any reason,
withdraw from participation in an Offering under this
Plan, upon advance written notice to the Committee. An
employee who withdraws from an Offering may elect in
writing, on a form provided by the Committee, to
receive a cash refund of the entire balance in his
payroll deduction account (partial refunds are not
permitted), or to retain the entire balance in such
account and use it to purchase shares of the common
stock of the Company, in such Offering, under Paragraph
9 of this Plan. Any employee who withdraws from an
Offering under this Plan may resume participation in
such Offering only once, provided he does so before
August 1st of such offering period.
9. Purchase of Shares.
(a) Each employee participating in an
offering under this Plan will be entitled to
purchase as many whole shares of common stock of
the Company as can be purchased with the total
payroll deductions credited to his account during
the specified offering periods in the manner and
on the terms herein provided.
(b) The purchase price for a share granted
under any offering will be the lower of either:
(i) the Offering Price of 85% of
the Fair Market Value of a share of common
stock of the Company on the Effective Date of
the Offering; or
(ii) the Alternative Offering
Price of 85% of the Fair Market Value of a
share of common stock of the Company on the
day one year from the Effective Date of the
Offering;
provided, however, that the purchase price shall
not be less than par value.
(c) As of the date one year from the
Effective Date of the Offering, the account of
each participating employee shall be totaled and
the Alternative Offering Price determined. If a
participating employee shall have sufficient funds
in his account to purchase one or more full shares
at the lower of either the Offering Price or the
Alternative Offering Price as of that date, the
employee shall be deemed to have exercised his
option to purchase such share or shares at such
lower price, his account shall be charged for the
amount of the purchase and a stock certificate
shall be issued to him as of such day. The
balance of any payroll deductions credited to his
account during the offering shall be refunded to
him in cash or shall remain credited to his
account and used to purchase shares of common
stock of the Company in the next Offering under
this Plan, as he so elects. If the employee does
not participate in the next Offering, the balance
that remains credited to his account shall be
refunded to him in cash.
10. Interest. Unless otherwise determined by the
Executive Compensation Committee, interest will not
accrue on any employee payroll deduction accounts.
11. Registration of Certificates. Certificates
will be registered only in the name of the employee.
If an employee makes written request to the Committee,
the Committee may cause the certificates to be issued
in his name jointly with a member of his family with
right of survivorship.
12. Definitions.
(a) "Effective Date of the Offering" shall
be the date established by the Committee in making
any offering under this Plan.
(b) "Fair Market Value" shall be the closing
price of the common stock of the Company on the
New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") as reported
in the Midwest Edition of The Wall Street Journal
on the applicable valuation date hereunder, or if
no sale of common stock of the Company is made on
the NYSE on any such date, then the closing price
of the common stock of the Company on the next
preceding day on which a sale was made on said
NYSE.
13. Rights as a Shareholder. None of the rights
or privileges of a shareholder of the Company shall
exist with respect to shares purchased under this Plan
unless and until such full shares shall have been duly
issued.
14. Rights on Retirement, Death or Termination of
Employment. In the event of a participating employee's
retirement, death, or termination of employment, no
payroll deduction shall be taken from any pay due and
owing to him at such time and the balance in his
account shall be paid to him or, in the event of his
death, to his estate. Transfer of a participating
employee from the Company to a Participating Subsidiary
or vice versa shall not constitute termination of
employment.
15. Rights Not Transferable. Rights under this
Plan are not transferable by a participating employee
and are exercisable only by him.
16. Application of Funds. All funds received or
held by the Company or any Participating Subsidiary
under this Plan may be used for any corporate purpose
and need not be segregated.
17. Adjustment in Case of Changes Affecting the
Common Stock of the Company. In the event of any stock
dividend, split-up, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, or
the like, as a result of which shares of any class
shall be issued in respect of the outstanding common
stock, or the common stock shall be changed into the
same or a different number of the same or another class
of stock, or into securities of another person, cash or
other property (not including a regular cash dividend),
the total number of shares authorized to be offered in
accordance with Paragraph 1, the number of shares
subject to each outstanding option, the option price
applicable to each such option, and/or the
consideration to be received upon exercise of each such
option shall be adjusted in a fair and reasonable
manner by the Committee. In addition, the Committee
shall, in its sole discretion, have authority to
provide, in appropriate cases, for (i) acceleration of
the exercise date of outstanding options or (ii) the
conversion of outstanding options into cash or other
property to be received in certain of the transactions
specified in the preceding sentence upon effectiveness
of such transactions.
18. Amendment of the Plan. The Board, the
Executive Compensation Committee or the Committee may
at any time, or from time to time, amend this Plan in
any respect; provided, however, that no amendment shall
be made without the approval of a majority of the
common stock of the Company then issued and outstanding
and entitled to vote if shareholder approval is
required for such amendment under applicable tax,
securities or other law. Any action taken by the
Board, the Executive Compensation Committee or the
Committee pursuant hereto that is otherwise
inconsistent with the terms and conditions hereof shall
be given effect and be deemed to be an amendment hereof
as related to such action, to the extent allowed by
this Paragraph 18, so as to make such terms and
conditions consistent with such action.
19. Termination of the Plan.
(a) This Plan and all rights of employees
under any offering hereunder shall terminate:
(i) on the day that participating
employees become entitled to purchase a
number of shares equal to or greater than the
number of shares remaining available for
purchase. If the number of shares so
purchasable is greater than the shares
remaining available, the available shares
shall be allocated by the Committee among
such participating employees in such manner
as it deems fair and consistent with Section
423 of the Code; or
(ii) at any time, at the
discretion of the Board or the Executive
Compensation Committee.
(b) Upon termination of this Plan, all
amounts in the accounts of participating employees
shall be promptly refunded.
20. Governmental Regulations. The obligation to
sell and deliver shares of the Company's common stock
under this Plan is subject to the approval of any
governmental authority required in connection with the
authorization, issuance or sale of such stock.
21. Indemnification of Committee. In addition to
such other rights of indemnification as they may have
as directors or as members of the Committee, the
members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the
Company or a Participating Subsidiary against the
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 option granted thereunder, and against all
amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided
such settlement is approved by independent legal
counsel selected by the Company or a Participating
Subsidiary) or paid by them in satisfaction of a
judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except
in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged
in such action, suit or proceeding, that such Committee
member is liable for gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of his duties; provided
that within 60 days after the institution of any such
action, suit or proceeding, a Committee member shall in
writing offer the Company or a Participating Subsidiary
the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and
defend the same.

2. SHARES RESERVED UNDER PLAN
The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued
or sold under the Plan and which are subject to
outstanding Options at any time shall not exceed
800,000 Shares, which may be treasury Shares or
authorized but unissued Shares, or a combination of the
two, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 8
hereof. Any Shares subject to an Option which expires
or terminates for any reason (whether by voluntary
surrender, lapse of time or otherwise) and is
unexercised as to such Shares may again be the subject
of an Option under the Plan subject to the limits set
forth above. A Director shall be entitled to the
rights and privileges of ownership with respect to the
Shares subject to the Option only after actual purchase
and issuance of such Shares pursuant to exercise of all
or part of an Option.
3. PARTICIPATION; NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES GRANTED
Only Directors shall be eligible to receive
Options under the Plan. A Director may elect to
receive, in lieu of all cash compensation to which he
or she would otherwise be entitled as a Director (other
than reimbursement for expenses), an Option granted in
accordance with the following. The election shall
cover a period of whole years (except as provided
below) determined by the Director at the time of
election beginning on any Election Date as of which no
prior election is in effect under the Plan (or the
Deferred Stock Plan of the Company) and ending no later
than the expiration of the then current Election
Period. If the Election Date is other than November 5
of any year, the first year covered by an election
shall be a partial year beginning on the Election Date
and ending on the next succeeding November 4, and the
number of shares covered by the Option for this first
partial year shall be prorated based on the ratio of
the number of days in such partial year to 365. The
election to receive an Option in lieu of cash
compensation must be made on or before the commencement
of the period covered by the election. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Director who is a resident of the
United Kingdom shall be eligible to make an election
hereunder but rather shall be required to receive an
Option in lieu of cash compensation and, as such,
treated as if he or she had made an election covering a
period of five years effective beginning on each
Election Date as of which no prior election is in
effect. The Option will be for the following number of
shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to Paragraph 8
hereof:
Years of Cash Shares Covered
Compensation Waived by Option
5 10,000
4 10,000
3 10,000
2 10,000
1 10,000
Said election shall be in writing and delivered to
the Secretary of the Company. The date of grant of the
Option shall be the date on which the period covered by
the election begins. A Director who has been granted
an Option under the Plan may be granted additional
Options under the Plan. The Company shall effect the
granting of Options under the Plan by the execution of
Option Agreements.
4. OPTIONS: GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) Option Exercise Price. The per share
purchase price of the Shares under each Option granted
pursuant to this Plan shall be equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the fair market value per Share on
the date of grant of such Option. The fair market
value per Share on the date of grant shall be the
Market Price for the business day immediately preceding
the date of grant of such Option.
(b) Exercise Period.
(1) An Option shall not initially be
exercisable. On November 5 of each year following
the date of grant of an Option, the Option shall
become exercisable as to a number of shares equal
to that number attributable to a period of one
year under the Option. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if an election covers a
partial year as provided in Paragraph 3, above,
then with respect to the number of shares
attributable to that partial year the Option shall
become exercisable on the later of the November 5
following the date of grant or the day that is six
months after the date of grant, and thereafter the
foregoing sentence shall apply to the Option.
(2) Upon termination of a Director's tenure
as a Director, any portion of an Option which has
not become exercisable shall lapse except as
follows:
(A) The Option shall become immediately
exercisable as to a prorated number of Shares
based on the time served during the one-year
period (or partial-year period, if
applicable) indicated in Paragraph 4(b)(1),
above, in which termination occurs.
(B) Upon the death or Disability of a
Director, each Option of such Director shall
become immediately exercisable as to 100% of
the Shares covered thereby.
(3) Upon the occurrence of a Triggering
Event, each Option outstanding under this Plan
shall become immediately exercisable as to 100% of
the Shares covered thereby.
(4) Once any portion of an Option becomes
exercisable, it shall remain exercisable for the
greater of five years after the date of grant or
two years after the date such portion becomes
exercisable.
(c) Payment of Exercise Price. The purchase or
exercise price shall be payable in whole or in part in
cash or Shares; and such price shall be paid in full at
the time that an Option is exercised. If a Director
elects to pay all or a part of the purchase or exercise
price in Shares, such Director shall make such payment
by delivering to the Company a number of Shares already
owned by the Director equal in value to the purchase or
exercise price. All Shares so delivered shall be
valued at their Market Price on the business day
immediately preceding the day on which such Shares are
delivered.
5. TRANSFERABILITY
(a) Restrictions on Transferability. Except as
otherwise provided in this Paragraph 5, an Option
granted to a Director under this Plan shall be not
transferable or subjected to execution, attachment or
similar process, and during the lifetime of the
Director shall be exercisable only by the Director.
(b) Transfer upon Death. A Director shall have
the right to transfer the Option upon such Director's
death, either pursuant to a beneficiary designation
described below or, if the Director dies without a
surviving designated beneficiary, by the terms of such
Director's will or under the laws of descent and
distribution, and all such transferees shall be subject
to all terms and conditions of this Plan to the same
extent as would the Director, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein. Upon the death of a
Director, each Option of such Director shall be
exercisable (1) by the deceased Director's designated
beneficiary (such designation to be made in writing at
such time and in such manner as the Company shall
approve or prescribe), or (2) if the deceased Director
dies without a surviving designated beneficiary, by the
personal representative, administrator, or other
representative of the estate of the deceased Director,
or by the person or persons to whom the deceased
Director's rights under such Option shall pass by will
or the laws of descent and distribution. A Director
who has so designated a beneficiary may change such
designation at any time by giving written notice to the
Company.
(c) Certain Transfers Permitted. A Director
shall have the right to transfer all or part of an
Option during his or her lifetime to members of the
Director's immediate family, to trusts for the benefit
of such immediate family members, and to partnerships
in which the Director or such family members are the
only partners. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
"immediate family" shall mean a Director's children,
grandchildren, and spouse. Upon such a transfer, the
Option (or portion of the Option) thereafter shall be
exercisable by the transferee to the extent and on the
terms it would have been exercisable by the
transferring Director.
6. EXERCISE
An Option shall be exercisable by a Director's
giving written notice of exercise to the Secretary of
the Company specifying the number of Shares to be
purchased accompanied by payment in full of the
required exercise price. The Company shall have the
right to delay the issue or delivery of any Shares
under the Plan until (a) the completion of such
registration or qualification of such Shares under any
federal or state law, ruling or regulation as the
Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable,
and (b) receipt from the Director of such documents and
information as the Company may deem necessary or
appropriate in connection with such registration or
qualification.

Each Option Agreement shall contain such
representations, warranties and other terms and
conditions as shall be necessary in the opinion of
counsel to the Company to comply with all applicable
federal and state securities laws.
8. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS
(a) Adjustment Based On Changes in the Market
Price of Shares. For any Option having a date of grant
after November 5, 1996, each of the numbers in the
schedule in Paragraph 3 hereof under "Shares Covered by
Option" shall be adjusted, in accordance with the
following formula, to equal the value of X, where
X = Number Shown in Schedule x $28.00
Market Price of Shares on the Date of Grant
(b) Adjustment for Stock Dividends, Split-Ups,
Etc. In the event of any stock dividend, split-up,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or
exchange of shares, or the like, as a result of which
shares of any class shall be issued in respect of the
outstanding Shares, or the Shares shall be changed into
the same or a different number of the same or another
class of stock, or into securities of another person,
cash or other property (not including a regular cash
dividend), the total number of Shares authorized to be
offered in accordance with Paragraph 2, the number of
Shares subject to each outstanding Option, the exercise
price applicable to each such Option, and/or the
consideration to be received upon exercise of each such
Option shall be adjusted.
9. TIME OF GRANTING
Nothing contained in the Plan or in any resolution
adopted or to be adopted by the Board of Directors or
the shareholders of the Company shall constitute the
granting of any Option hereunder. The granting of an
Option pursuant to the Plan shall take place only when
a written Option Agreement shall have been duly
executed by and on behalf of the Company.
10. TAXES
The Company shall be entitled to pay or withhold
the amount of any tax which it believes is required as
a result of the exercise of any Option under the Plan,
and the Company may defer making delivery with respect
to Shares obtained pursuant to exercise of any Option
until arrangements satisfactory to it have been made
with respect to any such withholding obligations. If a
withholding obligation should arise, a Director
exercising an Option may, at his election, provided
applicable laws and regulations are complied with,
satisfy his obligation for payment of withholding taxes
either by having the Company retain a number of Shares
having an aggregate Market Price on the date the Shares
are withheld equal to the amount of the withholding tax
or by delivering to the Company Shares already owned by
the Director having an aggregate Market Price on the
business day immediately preceding the day on which
such Shares are delivered equal to the amount of the
withholding tax.
11. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN
The Plan originally became effective on and as of
October 2, 1991, subject to shareholder approval. The
shareholders of the Company approved the Plan on
April 20, 1992. The Plan was amended and restated on
November 5, 1996 and February 18, 1997.
12. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT
The Board of Directors of the Company may
terminate the Plan or make such modifications or
amendments thereof as it shall deem advisable,
including, but not limited to, such modifications or
amendments as it shall deem advisable in order to
conform to any law or regulation applicable thereto;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may not
amend the Plan more frequently than once every six
months (except as to comport with changes in the Code)
and may not, unless otherwise permitted under federal
law, without further approval of the holders of a
majority of the Shares voted at any meeting of
shareholders at which a quorum is present and voting,
adopt any amendment to the Plan for which shareholder
approval is required under tax, securities or any other
applicable law, including, but not limited to, any
amendment to the Plan which would cause the Plan to no
longer comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or
any successor rule or other regulatory requirements.
No termination, modification or amendment of the Plan
may, without the consent of a Director, adversely
affect the rights of such Director under an outstanding
Option then held by the Director.
13. TENURE
The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan is no
guarantee that a Director will be renominated,
reelected or reappointed as a Director; and nothing in
the Plan shall be construed as conferring upon a
Director the right to continue to be associated with
the Company as a Director or otherwise.

Gentlemen:
We have acted as your counsel in connection with
the offer by Manpower Inc., a Wisconsin corporation
(the "Company"), of up to 1,200,000 shares of common
stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares"). The Shares are
reserved for issuance pursuant to the Manpower 1990
Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Manpower 1991
Directors Stock Option Plan, each as amended to date
(collectively, the "Plans"), as described in each
Plan's Prospectus (collectively, the "Prospectuses"),
including all amendments and supplements thereto, each
of which Prospectus relates to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-8, to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Registration Statement").
We have examined: (a) the Prospectuses and the
Registration Statement, (b) the Company's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated By-Laws, (c) certain resolutions of the
Company's Board of Directors and (d) such other
proceedings, documents and records as we have deemed
necessary to enable us to render this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that the Shares, upon issuance in accordance with the
terms of the Plans, will be duly authorized and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable except to the
extent provided in Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the
Wisconsin Statutes, or any successor provision, which
provides that shareholders of a corporation organized
under Chapter 180 of the Wisconsin Statutes may be
assessed up to the par value of their shares to satisfy
the obligations of such corporation to its employees
for services rendered, but not exceeding six months
service in the case of any individual employee (certain
Wisconsin courts have interpreted "par value" to mean
the full amount paid by the purchaser of shares upon
the issuance thereof).
We consent to the use of this opinion as an
exhibit to Registration Statement. In giving this
consent, however, we do not admit that we are "experts"
within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or within the category of persons
whose consent is required by Section 7 of said Act.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Godfrey & Kahn, S.C.
