        1.1     Establishment . Oshkosh Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation, hereby establishes the “1990 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN” (the “Plan”) for key employees and for directors of the Corporation who are not employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary. The Plan permits the grant of Stock Options and Restricted Stock.

        1.2     Purpose . The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and promote continuity of management by encouraging and providing for the acquisition of an equity interest in the success of the Corporation by key employees and by enabling the Corporation to attract and retain the services of key employees upon whose judgment, interest, skills, and special effort the successful conduct of its operations is largely dependent. In addition, the Plan is designed to promote the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders by providing a means to attract and retain competent directors who are not employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary and to provide opportunities for stock ownership by such directors which will increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation and, consequently, their identification with the interests of the shareholders of the Corporation.
