(a)
Purpose . The Bandag, Incorporated 2004 Stock Grant and
Awards Plan has two complementary purposes: (i) to attract and
retain outstanding individuals to serve as officers, directors and
employees 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 Class A 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 1999 Plan, which was originally effective
February 8, 1999. Upon shareholder approval of this Plan, the 1999
Plan will terminate and no new awards will be granted under the
1999 Plan (except for the possible grant of awards of restricted
stock in February 2005 to participants in the Company’s
annual award 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 15.

reserved upon the issuance of the Shares, or if previously owned

to the terms of this Plan, the Committee will determine all terms
and conditions of each Option, including but not limited

during any calendar year (under this Plan and under all other
incentive stock option plans of the Company or any Affiliate that

classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary unless the
exercise price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share
on the date of grant; and (ii) the exercise price may vary during
the term of the Option if the Committee determines that there

by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the
