MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation and Executive
Committees. In addition, in February, 1997 the Board of Directors created a new
Executive Performance Compensation Committee. The Board does not have a
Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors held five meetings and acted three
times by written consent during 1996. Each director attended at least 75% of the
full board meetings and meetings of committees on which each served in 1996.
The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Minow (Chairman), Godfrey, Goodman
and Harris. The functions of the Audit Committee are to: (i) recommend annually
to the Board of Directors the appointment of the independent auditors; (ii)
review the arrangements for and scope of the annual audit and review the results
thereof with the independent auditors; (iii) review and approve non-audit
services of the independent auditors and monitor the independence of the
Company's auditors; (iv) review compliance with major accounting and audit
policies; (v) review management's procedures and policies relative to the
adequacy of the Company's internal accounting controls; and (vi) monitor the
Company's compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and its internal
policies with respect to business conduct and conflicts of interest. The Audit
Committee held three meetings during 1996.
The Executive Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Godfrey (Chairman),
Ms. Freedman, Mr. Goodman and Mr. Harris. The functions of this Committee are
to: (i) establish the compensation of Mr. Fromstein, the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, Mr. Chait, Executive Vice President, Managing Director --
International Operations and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and Mr.
Hueneke, Executive Vice President of the Company, subject to ratification by the
Board of Directors; (ii) approve the compensation, based on the recommendations
of the senior executive officers, of certain other senior executives of the
Company and its subsidiaries; (iii) review the compensation of all other senior
managers of the Company and its subsidiaries; and (iv) serve as the
administrative committee for the Company's stock option and stock purchase
plans. Certain performance - based compensation for executive officers must also
be approved by the Executive Performance Compensation Committee as discussed
below. The Executive Compensation Committee held four meetings and acted once by
written consent during 1996.
The Executive Performance Compensation Committee acts as the compensation
committee of outside directors under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
("IRC"). In addition, the Committee serves as a committee of disinterested
directors for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and will approve transactions subject to Rule 16b-3 to the extent deemed
advisable under the Rule. The Committee consists of Messrs. Goodman and Minow.

7
The Executive Committee consists of Messrs. Fromstein, Godfrey and Palay.
This Committee may exercise full authority in the management of the business and
affairs of the Company's Board of Directors when the Board of Directors is not
in session, except to the extent limited by Wisconsin law, the Company's
Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, or as otherwise limited by the Board of
Directors. Although the Committee has very broad powers, in practice, it meets
only infrequently to take formal action on a specific matter when it would be
impractical to call a meeting of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee
did not meet in 1996. The Executive Committee, however, took action by written
consent four times in 1996.
REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, are currently entitled to an annual fee of $50,000, inclusive of a
retainer and all meeting and committee fees. In addition, each director is
reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in connection with attending Board of
Directors meetings. In lieu of receiving payment of fees in cash, directors may
elect to participate in the 1991 Directors Stock Option Plan or the Deferred
Stock Plan. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will vote on a proposal to
increase the number of shares available under the 1991 Directors Stock Option
Plan. See "3. INCREASE IN SHARES AUTHORIZED UNDER MANPOWER 1991 DIRECTORS STOCK
OPTION PLAN."
Upon adoption of the 1991 Directors Stock Option Plan, Messrs. Godfrey,
Harris, Minow and Stevenson each agreed to accept stock options over 50,000
shares (one-fifth vesting each year) in lieu of cash fees for five years. The
last portion of these options (options over 10,000 shares) vested in October,
1996 and are all exercisable. In November, 1996, Mr. Godfrey, Ms. Freedman, Mr.
Harris, Mr. Minow and Mr. Stevenson each agreed to accept stock options over
50,000 shares in lieu of cash fees for the five years following the date of
grant. The option exercise price for the November, 1996 directors' stock options
is $28.00 per share, which was 100% of the closing market price of the Company's
Common Stock as reported on the NYSE on the business date immediately preceding
the date of grant. These options are exercisable as to one-fifth of the shares
on each anniversary of the date of grant, subject to acceleration of vesting
under certain conditions set forth in the Plan. Upon Mr. Goodman's appointment
to the Board of Directors in November, 1993, he also agreed to accept stock
options over 50,000 shares in lieu of cash fees for five years. The option
exercise price for Mr. Goodman's stock options is $16.00 per share, which was
100% of the closing market price of the Company's Common Stock as reported on
the NYSE on the business date immediately preceding the date of grant. The
options are not exercisable until 1998 (with certain exceptions specified in the
Plan) and vest ratably over the five-year period. In 1995, Mr. Palay agreed to
accept stock options over 50,000 shares in lieu of cash fees for five years. The
option exercise price for Mr. Palay's stock options is $33.875 per share, which
was 100% of the closing market price of the Company's Common Stock as reported
on the NYSE on the business date immediately preceding the date of grant. Mr.
Palay's options are not exercisable until 2000 (with certain exceptions
specified in the Plan) and vest ratably over the five-year period.
Pursuant to the Company's Deferred Stock Plan, Ms. Freedman elected to
receive share equivalents in lieu of cash fees for the five year period
beginning in 1991 and ending in October, 1996. A total of 12,519 share
equivalents were originally credited to her account, representing the present
value of fees she would have otherwise received during the period, divided by
$11.875 per share, which was 100% of the closing market price of the Company's
Common Stock as reported on the NYSE on the date of her election. Additional
share equivalents are received in an amount equal to dividends paid on the
Company's Common Stock. The share equivalents vested ratably over the five-year
period and Common Stock is distributed in settlement of the share equivalents
upon the termination of service as a director for any reason. In November, 1996
at the end of the vesting period for her 1991 share equivalent election, Ms.
Freedman elected to receive options in lieu of cash fees under the 1991
Directors Stock Option Plan as discussed above.
Certain information with respect to Ms. Freedman and Messrs. Godfrey and
Harris is set forth under "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND
INSIDER PARTICIPATION," below. Upon his retirement from the Company in 1993, Mr.
Palay entered into a consulting agreement with the Company whereby the Company
pays Mr. Palay for services rendered, generally at an hourly rate. For the year
ended December 31, 1996, the Company paid Mr. Palay approximately $370,000 for
services rendered pursuant to this agreement.

non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and SARs (stock appreciation
rights) have been granted in the past and/or may be granted in the future.
Participation is generally limited to full-time employees of the Company or its
subsidiaries. The option exercise price of all options granted under the
Company's plans to executive officers of the Company has been 100% of the
closing market price as reported on the NYSE for the business day immediately
prior to the date of grant. Directors of the Company who are not full-time
employees may participate in the 1991 Directors Stock Option Plan or the
Deferred Stock Plan, as described on page 5 hereof.

(1) All options were granted at 100% of the fair market value on the date of
grant.
(2) Present value is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Grant Date Value is based on a nine-year option term. Other assumptions
used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model are: risk-free rate of
return of 6.06%, a volatility factor of 14.8% and a dividend yield of .5%
during the option term. The resulting value derived from the Black-Scholes
model was reduced by 40% for lack of marketability and liquidity.
(3) Options vest on February 28, 1999.
The following table summarizes for each of the named executive officers the
number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of options during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the dollar value realized upon exercise of
options, the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying unexercised
options held at December 31, 1996 (exercisable and unexercisable), and the
aggregate dollar value of in-the-money, unexercised options held at December 31,
1996 (exercisable and unexercisable). Value realized upon exercise is the
difference between the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the
exercise date and the exercise or base price of the option. Value of
unexercised, in-the-money options at fiscal year-end is the difference between
its exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying stock as of
December 31, 1996, which was $32.50 per share. These values, unlike any amounts
which may be set forth in the column headed "value realized" have not been, and
may never be, realized. The underlying options have not been, and may not be,
exercised; the actual gains, if any, on exercise will depend on the value of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of exercise. There can be no assurance that
these values will be realized.

STOCK PURCHASE PLANS
The Company has adopted and maintains several employee stock purchase plans
designed to encourage employees to purchase Company Common Stock. The plans are
broad based and are available to all U.S. employees (including qualifying
temporary employees) and employees in certain other countries. The plans
8
11
generally provide that employees accumulate funds through payroll deductions
over a prescribed offering period (one to five years) and are entitled to
purchase shares at a discount (a maximum of 15%) from the market price at the
beginning and/or end of the offering period. No more than $25,000 of stock,
measured by the market price as of the beginning of the offering period, may be
purchased by any participating employee in any year. At the Annual Meeting,
shareholders will vote on a proposal to increase the number of shares available
under the Manpower 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. See "2. INCREASE IN SHARES
AUTHORIZED UNDER MANPOWER 1990 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN."
PENSION PLANS
The Company maintains a broad-based qualified, noncontributory defined
benefit pension plan for eligible U.S. employees (the "Qualified Plan"). The
Company has also established a nonqualified, deferred compensation plan to
provide retirement benefits for management and other highly compensated
employees in the U.S. who are ineligible to participate in the Qualified Plan
(together with the "Qualified Plan," the "U.S. Pension Plans"). Certain of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries maintain various pension and retirement plans.
None of the Company's executive officers have participated in such foreign
plans. Under the U.S. Pension Plans, a pension is payable upon retirement at age
65, or upon earlier termination if certain conditions are satisfied. The pension
benefit is based on years of credited service and the average monthly
compensation received during the last five consecutive calendar years prior to
retirement. Compensation covered by the plans is base salary or hourly wages,
unless paid entirely on a commission basis, in which case commissions of up to
$20,000 per calendar year are taken into account. Bonuses, overtime pay or other
kinds of extra compensation are not considered. Under his employment agreement,
Mr. Fromstein is entitled to receive, upon termination of employment for any
reason, retirement benefits equal to those payable if he had 30 years of
credited service under the plans and as if certain Qualified Plan limitations
did not apply. Messrs. Chait, Hueneke, and Van Handel are credited with seven,
twenty-three and eight years of service, respectively.
The table below shows the estimated aggregate annual benefit, computed as a
straight life annuity, under the Company's U.S. Pension Plans at various salary
levels and years of credited service payable upon retirement at age 65 or later.
The benefit shown is not subject to any deduction for any Social Security
benefit:

EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Messrs. Fromstein, Chait and Hueneke have entered into employment
agreements with the Company.
Under his agreement, Mr. Fromstein receives an annual base salary of
$860,000, an annual incentive bonus based on the Company's Adjusted Net Profit
Before Tax (as defined in the agreement) and, upon retirement, retirement
benefits under the Company's U.S. Pension Plans based on 30 years of service and
calculated as if certain limitations of the Qualified Plan did not apply. See
"Pension Plans." If Mr. Fromstein's employment is terminated other than for
cause, Mr. Fromstein is entitled to receive: (i) all base compensation and other
benefits to which he was entitled through his date of termination, including a
prorated bonus; (ii) two years of base compensation plus the highest incentive
bonus paid to him since 1990; (iii) a cash
9
12

cover him; and (iv) certain other benefits as specified in the agreement.
Under his agreement, Mr. Chait receives an annual base salary of $350,000
and, subject to shareholder approval for fiscal 1997 and later years, an annual
incentive bonus based on the Company's Adjusted Net Profit Before Tax (as
defined in the agreement), which is 25% of the annual bonus formula in Mr.
Fromstein's agreement. See "4. INCENTIVE BONUS ARRANGEMENT -- MR. CHAIT." If Mr.
Chait's employment is terminated, Mr. Chait is entitled to receive: (i) all base
compensation and other benefits to which he was entitled through his date of
termination, including a prorated bonus; (ii) two years of base compensation
plus the greater of (a) the highest incentive bonus paid to him during the prior
five years and (b) the incentive bonus which would have otherwise been paid to
him for the year of termination; and (iii) certain other benefits as specified
in the agreement.
Under his agreement, for fiscal 1997 and later years Mr. Hueneke is
entitled to receive an annual base salary of $350,000 and, subject to
shareholder approval, an annual incentive bonus based on the Company's Specified
Operating Unit Profits (as defined in the agreement). See "5. INCENTIVE BONUS
ARRANGEMENT -- MR. HUENEKE." The Company has also agreed to provide certain
severance benefits to Mr. Hueneke upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as
defined in his agreement) or if Mr. Hueneke terminates his employment with Good
Reason (as defined in his agreement). If Mr. Hueneke's employment is terminated
upon a Triggering Event or for Good Reason, Mr. Hueneke is entitled to receive:
(i) all base compensation and other benefits to which he was entitled through
his date of termination, including a prorated bonus (not less than the highest
bonus during the preceding three years and limited to a maximum proration of
50%); (ii) up to two years (one year plus one week for each year of service in
the case of termination of employment for Good Reason) of base compensation; and
(iii) certain other benefits as specified in the agreement.
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has
furnished the following report on executive compensation. Because certain
matters related to performance-based compensation are approved by the Executive
Performance Compensation Committee, it joins in the report of the Executive
Compensation Committee.
General Compensation Policies
Under the Committee's current policy, the compensation structure for the
Company's executives consists in general of three principal components: base
salary, annual bonus and periodic grants of stock options or, occasionally,
restricted stock. The Committee believes that this approach creates both
short-term and long-term incentives for corporate management. As a result of
these policies, a high proportion of compensation for the Company's senior
executives is at risk through the annual bonus, generally based on a formula
tied to profitability of the individual's profit center, as well as stock
ownership and/or stock options, which create a direct link between long-term
remuneration and the price of the Company's Common Stock.
Base salary determinations are an important ingredient in attracting and
retaining quality personnel in a competitive market. Base salaries are set at
levels based generally on subjective factors, including the individual's level
of responsibility, experience and past performance record. As a large
multinational business, the Company competes for senior executive talent with
large public and private companies throughout the world, many of which are not
in businesses which directly compete with the Company. These are not the same
companies as those included in the Dow Jones Industrial & Commercial Services --
General Index which is used as a peer group to compare shareholder returns in
the Performance Graph.
The Committee also believes that a significant portion of compensation
should be directly related to and contingent upon Company profitability based on
objective performance criteria. Accordingly, it is the
10
13
Company's general practice that the senior executive officers of the Company as
well as other senior executives of the Company and its subsidiaries participate
in bonus arrangements pursuant to which bonuses are subject to and contingent
upon profitability formulas.
The Committee believes that it is important that the senior executive
officers and key executives of the Company and its subsidiaries hold equity
positions in the Company. Stock option grants to executives permit them to hold
equity interests at more meaningful levels than they could through other
alternatives, such as stock purchase arrangements. Accordingly, while the
Committee is conscious of the dilutive effects of stock options on shareholders,
it believes that stock option grants at reasonable levels are an important
component of executive compensation. In addition, because of the nature of the
Company's operations, the Company's management believes, and the Committee
agrees, that it is important that stock options be granted to a broad range of
employees where the options provide an important incentive. In 1996, options to
purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock were granted to Mr. Van Handel.
The Committee is responsible for establishing the compensation of Mr.
Fromstein, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Chait, Executive Vice
President, Managing Director -- International Operations and Chief Financial
Officer, and Mr. Hueneke, Executive Vice President, subject to ratification by
the Board of Directors. In addition, the Committee has responsibility to approve
the compensation of other senior executives and to review the compensation of
other senior managers of the Company and its subsidiaries. However, the base
salaries and bonuses of Mr. Fromstein, Mr. Chait and Mr. Hueneke, with respect
to fiscal 1997 and later years, are determined pursuant to separate employment
agreements described under "Employment and Related Agreements" above.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
Mr. Fromstein's base salary and bonus are determined on the basis of his
employment agreement. Mr. Fromstein's employment agreement establishes a base
salary of $860,000 which the Committee believes fairly reflects Mr. Fromstein's
tenure, experience and responsibilities, and the Company's historic operating
performance. Mr. Fromstein's base salary has been fixed at this level since
1989. Mr. Fromstein's annual bonus is determined under the employment agreement
by measuring the Company's pretax profit for the year (subject to certain
adjustments, in the discretion of the Committee, for non-operating items
designed to arrive at operating profits) against a graduated scale after
exceeding a threshold level. Accordingly, Mr. Fromstein's bonus will fluctuate
significantly based on the Company's operating performance. For example, the
Company's pretax profit before goodwill amortization and restructuring charges
increased from 1994 to 1995 by approximately 45% and Mr. Fromstein's total cash
compensation increased by 43% and the Company's pretax profit increased from
1995 to 1996 by approximately 19% and Mr. Fromstein's total cash compensation
increased by 9%.
Other Executive Officers of the Company
The base salary and bonus of Mr. Chait are determined on the basis of his
employment agreement. Mr. Chait's annual bonus under his employment agreement is
based on the same formula (with minor variations for 1996 and prior years) as
described above with respect to Mr. Fromstein, except that Mr. Chait's bonus is
25% of the amount determined under the formula for Mr. Fromstein. Mr. Chait's
incentive bonus arrangement is being submitted to shareholders for approval at
the Annual Meeting. See "4. INCENTIVE BONUS ARRANGEMENT -- MR. CHAIT."
The base salary of Mr. Hueneke was established by the Committee taking into
account Mr. Hueneke's past compensation levels, his tenure and experience, past
performance, and other subjective factors. Mr. Hueneke's bonus for 1996 was
approved by the Committee taking into account profitability factors and Mr.
Hueneke's expanded responsibilities. Mr. Hueneke's incentive bonus arrangement
is being submitted to shareholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. See
"5. INCENTIVE BONUS ARRANGEMENT -- MR. HUENEKE."
The base salary of the Company's Chief Accounting Officer is established on
the basis of the Chief Financial Officer's subjective assessment of the nature
of the position and the contribution, experience and
11
14
tenure of the Chief Accounting Officer. The Chief Financial Officer makes an
individual annual bonus determination for the Chief Accounting Officer based
upon a subjective assessment of overall Company and individual performance as
compared to prior fiscal year performance. The Chief Financial Officer reviews
these base salary and bonus determinations with the Committee.
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
Section 162(m) of the IRC generally disallows a tax deduction to public
corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 for any fiscal year paid to the
corporation's chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated
executive officers in service as of the end of any fiscal year. However, Section
162(m) also provides that qualifying performance-based compensation will not be
subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Committee
currently intends to structure compensation amounts and plans which meet the
requirements for deductibility. Because of those requirements, Mr. Chait's and
Mr. Hueneke's annual bonus arrangements have been approved by the Executive
Performance Compensation Committee and are being submitted for approval by the
shareholders at the Annual Meeting in order for such bonuses to meet the
requirements for deductibility by the Company for 1997 and later years. In
addition, a portion of the 1996 bonuses payable to Messrs. Chait and Hueneke
have been deferred to avoid application of Section 162(m) to such deferred
amounts. The deferred amounts were awarded to Messrs. Chait and Hueneke in the
form of Credited Shares under the Company's Deferred Stock Plan. Because of
ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of
Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder, no assurance can be given,
notwithstanding the efforts of the Company in this area, that compensation
intended by the Company to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under
Section 162(m) does in fact do so.

2. INCREASE IN SHARES AUTHORIZED UNDER MANPOWER
1990 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
GENERAL
The Manpower 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is intended to
provide an employment incentive to the employees of the Company and certain
subsidiaries. The Plan currently covers 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock, with
358,058 shares currently available for issuance under the Plan. The Board of
Directors has approved an increase of 1,000,000 shares under the Plan and is
submitting this increase for shareholder approval, in order, among other
reasons, to qualify the Plan for treatment as a Section 423 stock purchase plan
under the IRC.
TERMS OF THE PLAN
The Plan is administered by the Stock Purchase Plan Committee (the
"Committee") appointed by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. In general, all employees of the Company and certain designated
subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan, provided they meet a
minimum period of continuous service. As of the date hereof, the Company and its
designated subsidiaries have approximately 200,000 employees (including
temporary employees) eligible to participate in the Plan. Under the Plan,
eligible employees may purchase shares annually by payroll deduction, subject to
certain aggregate limitations set forth in the Plan, at a purchase price equal
to the lower of either 85% of the fair market value of the Company's shares on
the offering commencement date or 85% of the fair market value of the Company's
shares one year from such date.
The Board, the Executive Compensation Committee or the Committee may, from
time to time, amend the Plan in any respect. However, no amendment may be made
without the approval of the Company's shareholders if shareholder approval is
required for such amendment under applicable tax, securities or other law.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Participating employees will not be deemed to have recognized taxable
income upon the purchase of shares and the Company and its subsidiaries will not
be entitled to any deduction with respect to the shares issued, unless a
participating employee makes a disqualifying disposition.
VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or
represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve
the proposal. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR the increase in the number
of shares authorized under the Manpower 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and
your proxy will be so voted unless you specify otherwise.
3. INCREASE IN SHARES AUTHORIZED UNDER
MANPOWER 1991 DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN
The 1991 Directors Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Directors Option
Plan"), provides for the issuance of options covering up to 600,000 shares of
Common Stock, of which options over 550,000 shares are currently outstanding.
The Board of Directors has increased the number of shares of Common Stock
authorized under the Directors Option Plan by 200,000, subject to shareholder
approval.
14
17
TERMS OF THE DIRECTORS OPTION PLAN
The Directors Option Plan provides that each non-employee director of the
Company may elect to receive (other than residents of the United Kingdom who are
required to receive), in lieu of all cash compensation to which he or she would
otherwise be entitled as a director, an option over shares of the Company's
Common Stock. The number of shares covered by the option are calculated pursuant
to a formula set forth in the Directors Option Plan for the number of years of
cash compensation waived, up to a maximum of five years. The Directors Option
Plan provides that the per share purchase price for each option awarded will be
100% of the fair market value per share on the date of the award.
An option awarded under the Directors Option Plan is initially not
exercisable. Each year following the date of grant, the option becomes
exercisable as to the number of shares attributable to a one-year period under
the option. In the event of death, disability or a triggering event (as defined
in the Directors Option Plan) the option will become immediately exercisable
over all shares of Common Stock covered thereby. In the event a director ceases
to be a member of the Board for any other reason, he or she will immediately be
able to exercise the option for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a
prorated number of shares based on the time served during the one-year period in
which such termination occurs and the option will lapse as to any remaining
shares covered thereby. Once any portion of an option becomes exercisable, it
will remain exercisable for the greater of (a) five years after the date of
grant or (b) two years after the date such portion becomes exercisable.
TAX STATUS OF PARTICIPATION IN THE DIRECTORS OPTION PLAN
Options granted under the Directors Option Plan are nonqualified stock
options. At the time an option is granted, the optionee will not recognize any
taxable income and the Company will not be entitled to any deduction. When an
optionee exercises an option, the optionee will generally recognize ordinary
income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common
Stock received on the date of exercise over the option exercise price. The
Company will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the income
recognized by the optionee. The basis of shares received upon the exercise of an
option will be the exercise price paid plus the amount recognized by the
optionee as taxable income attributable to such shares as a result of the
exercise. When an optionee sells shares acquired by the exercise of an option,
the difference between the amount received and the adjusted tax basis of the
shares will be capital gain or loss if such shares constitute a capital asset in
the hands of the optionee.
VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the proposal is
required to approve the increase in the number of shares authorized under the
Directors Option Plan. Abstentions will not be counted as voting and, therefore,
will have no impact on the approval of the proposal.
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR the increase in the number
of shares authorized under the Manpower 1991 Directors Stock Option Plan and
your proxy will be so voted unless you specify otherwise.
4. INCENTIVE BONUS ARRANGEMENT -- MR. CHAIT
Mr. Chait's employment agreement provides for the payment of an incentive
bonus based on the Adjusted Net Profit Before Tax (as defined in the agreement)
of the Company and its subsidiaries. To permit the Company to deduct the
incentive bonus payable under his employment agreement in excess of the amount
otherwise allowed under the IRC, Mr. Chait agreed with the Company in February,
1997 to amend his employment agreement to provide that the incentive bonus
arrangement be submitted for approval at the Annual Meeting with the agreement
that such bonus for Mr. Chait for fiscal 1997 and later years is contingent upon
receiving shareholder approval.
15
18
The incentive bonus arrangement for Mr. Chait under the amended employment
agreement is determined as follows based upon the Company and its subsidiaries
achieving Adjusted Net Profit Before Tax:
ADJUSTED NET PROFIT BEFORE TAX AMOUNT OF BONUS IS 25% OF THE FOLLOWING AMOUNT
------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------
$44 Million or less...................... None
More than $44 Million but equal to or
less than $49 Million.................. 1% of Adjusted Net Profit Before Tax in excess
of $44 Million
More than $49 Million but equal to or
less than $59 Million.................. $50,000 plus 1 1/2% of Adjusted Net Profit
Before Tax in excess of $49 Million
More than $59 Million.................... $200,000 plus 1 3/4% of Adjusted Net Profit
Before Tax in excess of $59 Million
For purposes of the formula, "Adjusted Net Profit Before Tax" means the net
profit (or loss) before income taxes, cumulative effects of changes in
accounting principles, and extraordinary items, shown on the year-end audited
Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Company and its subsidiaries with
the following adjustments: (i) add to income the aggregate charges included for
base salaries, incentive bonuses, or severance (and charges for withheld
employment taxes on such items) paid or payable to Messrs. Fromstein and Chait;
(ii) add to income the aggregate charges included for employee noncash
compensation items; and (iii) add to income any charges included for
restructuring, losses resulting from the disposition of real estate or
businesses, and other unusual items, and subtract from income any gains included
resulting from the disposition of real estate or businesses and other unusual
items. However, charges included for amortization of goodwill or restructuring
will not be added for any year to the extent determined by the Executive
Performance Compensation Committee in its discretion. Since the Adjusted Net
Profit Before Tax is determined on a fiscal year basis, the amount payable to
Mr. Chait in 1997 cannot be determined. Mr. Chait's 1996 incentive bonus
reflected in the Summary Compensation Table was calculated based on this
formula.
If approved by shareholders, the incentive bonus arrangement contained in
Mr. Chait's employment agreement may be amended in any manner without
shareholder approval, including amendments that would increase the cost to the
Company of this arrangement. Certain amendments may, under Section 162(m) of the
IRC, affect the deductibility of such incentive bonus. The Company is not
presently considering any such amendments to Mr. Chait's incentive bonus
arrangement.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the proposal is
required for approval of the incentive bonus arrangement for Mr. Chait.
Abstentions will not be counted as voting and, therefore, will have no impact on
the approval of the proposal.
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR approval of the incentive
bonus arrangement for Mr. Chait and your proxy will be so voted unless you
specify otherwise.
5. INCENTIVE BONUS ARRANGEMENT -- MR. HUENEKE
Mr. Hueneke's employment agreement provides for the payment of an incentive
bonus based on the Specified Operating Unit Profits (as defined in the
agreement) of certain geographical regions in which the Company and certain of
its subsidiaries operate. To permit the Company to deduct the incentive bonus
payable under his employment agreement in excess of the amount otherwise allowed
under the IRC, Mr. Hueneke agreed with the Company to submit the incentive bonus
arrangement for approval at the Annual Meeting with the agreement that such
bonus for fiscal 1997 and later years is contingent upon shareholder approval.
16
19
The incentive bonus arrangement for Mr. Hueneke under his employment
agreement is determined as follows based upon the achievement of Specified
Operating Unit Profits:
SPECIFIED OPERATING UNIT PROFITS AMOUNT OF BONUS IS FOLLOWING AMOUNT
-------------------------------- -----------------------------------
$20,000,000 or less...................... None
More than $20,000,000.................... 1% of Specified Operating Unit Profits in
excess of $20,000,000
For purposes of the formula, "Specified Operating Unit Profits" means the
sum of the Operating Unit Profit for the fiscal year in each of the United
States, Canada, Mexico, South America, the Caribbean and Australia. "Operating
Unit Profit" for any region means the revenues less direct costs of operations
for the region, further reduced by branch and head office selling, general and
administrative expenses for the region, as shown in the management reports of
the Company. In addition, "Specified Operating Unit Profits" may be further
reduced by charges relating to operations in any such region for any year for
amortization of goodwill, restructuring or interest to the extent determined by
the Executive Performance Compensation Committee in its discretion. Since the
Specified Operating Unit Profits are determined on a fiscal year basis, the
amount payable to Mr. Hueneke in 1997 cannot be determined.
If approved by shareholders, the incentive bonus arrangement contained in
Mr. Hueneke's employment agreement may be amended in any manner without
shareholder approval, including amendments that would increase the cost to the
Company of this arrangement. Certain amendments may, under Section 162(m) of the
IRC, affect the deductibility of such incentive bonus. The Company is not
presently considering any such amendments to Mr. Hueneke's incentive bonus
arrangement.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the proposal is
required for approval of the incentive bonus arrangement for Mr. Hueneke.
Abstentions will not be counted as voting and, therefore, will have no impact on
the approval of the proposal.
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR approval of the incentive
bonus arrangement for Mr. Hueneke and your proxy will be so voted unless you
specify otherwise.
6. RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Upon recommendation of the Audit Committee and subject to ratification by
the shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors has appointed
Arthur Andersen LLP, an independent public accounting firm, to audit the
consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1997. Arthur Andersen LLP has audited the Company (or its
predecessors) since 1975. Representatives of Arthur Andersen LLP will attend the
Annual Meeting and have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire,
and will also be available to answer questions.
If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP,
the selection of the Company's independent auditors will be reconsidered by the
Board of Directors.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal shall
constitute ratification of Arthur Andersen LLP as the independent auditors for
fiscal year ending 1997. Abstentions will not be counted as voting and,
therefore, will have no impact on the approval of the proposal.
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR the ratification of the
appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1997 and your proxy will be so voted unless you
specify otherwise.
SUBMISSION OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
In accordance with the Company's By-Laws, nominations, other than by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, of candidates for election as directors
at the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the Company no
later than January 28, 1998. To be considered for inclusion in the proxy
17
20
statement solicited by the Board of Directors, shareholder proposals for
consideration at the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company must be

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's directors and officers to file reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission disclosing their ownership, and changes in their ownership,
of stock in the Company. Copies of these reports must also be furnished to the
Company. Based solely on a review of these copies, the Company believes that
during 1996 all filing requirements were complied with, except that Mr. Van
Handel filed one report late in connection with a 1996 transaction involving a
stock option grant.

the Annual Meeting, if any such matters should be presented, the persons named

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:
A-4
27
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.
A-5
28
(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.
A-6
29
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.
7. SECURITIES LAWS
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.
A-7
30
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.

APPENDIX B
MANPOWER 1990 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF JANUARY 1, 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 1,250,000 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.
B-1

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).
In addition, once options to purchase an aggregate of 750,000 shares have
been granted to participating employees pursuant to the terms of the Plan, any
additional grants to a participating employee who is subject to Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), are
subject to approval by the Company's shareholders, or the shareholders of a
Participating Subsidiary, as the case may be.
B-2
33
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.
B-3
34
(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.
B-4
35
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
B-5
36
(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.
