OSHKOSH CORPORATION
2004 INCENTIVE STOCK AND AWARDS PLAN
(as amended through September ~, 2008)
1. Purposes,
History and Effective Date.
(a)
Purpose. The Oshkosh Corporation 2004 Incentive Stock and
Awards Plan has two complementary purposes: (i) to attract and
retain outstanding individuals to serve as officers, directors,
employees and consultants and (ii) to increase shareholder value.
The Plan will provide participants incentives to increase
shareholder value by offering the opportunity to acquire shares of
the Company’s common stock, receive monetary payments based
on the value of such common stock, or receive other incentive
compensation, on the potentially favorable terms that this Plan
provides.
(b)
History. Prior to the effective date of this Plan, the
Company had in effect the 1990 Plan, which was originally effective
April 9, 1990. Upon shareholder approval of this Plan, the 1990
Plan will terminate and no new awards will be granted under the
1990 Plan, although awards granted under such plan and still
outstanding will continue to be subject to all terms and conditions
of such plan.
(c)
Effective Date. This Plan will become effective, and Awards
may be granted under this Plan, on and after the Effective Date.
This Plan will terminate as provided in Section 13.

Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee may
grant any type of Award to any Participant it selects, but only
employees of the Company or a Subsidiary may receive grants of

Shares under the Award, or if Shares are forfeited under an Award,
then the Shares subject to such Award may again be used for new
Awards under this Plan under Section 6(a), including issuance as
incentive stock options. If Shares are issued under any Award and
the Company subsequently reacquires them pursuant to rights
reserved upon the issuance of the Shares, or if previously owned
Shares are delivered to the Company in payment of the exercise
price of an Award, then such Shares may again be used for new
Awards under this Plan under Section 6(a), but such Shares may not
be issued pursuant to incentive stock options.
(c)
Addition of Shares from Predecessor Plan . After the
Effective Date, if any Shares subject to awards granted under the
1990 Plan would again become available for new grants under the
terms of such plan if such plan were still in effect, then those
Shares will be available for the purpose of granting Awards under
this Plan, thereby increasing the number of Shares available for
issuance under this Plan as determined under the first sentence of
Section 6(a). Any such Shares will not be available for future
awards under
