NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<br />

In January 1996, we completed the issuance of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.0% Debentures<br />

due January 15, 2026. The debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity.<br />

NOTE 14: STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION<br />

As of July 1, 2011, we had two shareholder-approved employee stock incentive plans (“SIPs”) under which<br />

options or other share-based compensation was outstanding, and we had the following types of share-based awards<br />

outstanding under our SIPs: stock options, performance share awards, performance share unit awards, restricted<br />

stock awards and restricted stock unit awards. We believe that such awards more closely align the interests of<br />

employees with those of shareholders. Certain share-based awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a<br />

change in control (as defined under our SIPs).<br />

Summary of Share-Based Compensation Expense<br />

The following table summarizes the amounts and classification of share-based compensation expense:<br />

2011 2010 2009<br />

(In millions)<br />

Total expense ................................................ $46.1 $ 35.3 $ 39.3<br />

Included in:<br />

Cost of product sales and services ............................... $ 4.2 $ 3.9 $ 3.5<br />

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses. .................... 41.9 31.4 35.8<br />

Income from continuing operations. .............................. 46.1 35.3 39.3<br />

Tax effect on share-based compensation expense ...................... (15.4) (11.7) (14.0)<br />

Total share-based compensation expense after-tax ...................... $30.7 $ 23.6 $ 25.3<br />

Compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements that was capitalized as part of inventory<br />

or fixed assets in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 was not material.<br />

Shares of common stock remaining available for future issuance under our SIPs totaled 15,978,745 as of July 1,<br />

2011. In fiscal 2011, we issued an aggregate of 984,187 shares of common stock under the terms of our SIPs, which<br />

is net of shares withheld for tax purposes.<br />

Stock Options<br />

The following information relates to stock options that have been granted under shareholder-approved SIPs.<br />

Option exercise prices are equal to or greater than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the<br />

options are granted, using the closing stock price of our common stock. Options may be exercised for a period set at<br />

the time of grant, which generally ranges from seven to ten years after the date of grant, and they generally become<br />

exercisable in installments, which are typically 33.3 percent one year from the grant date, 33.3 percent two years<br />

from the grant date and 33.3 percent three years from the grant date.<br />

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton optionpricing<br />

model which uses assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on implied volatility<br />

from traded options on our common stock and the historical volatility of our stock price over the expected term of<br />

the options. The expected term of the options is based on historical observations of our common stock over the past<br />

ten years, considering average years to exercise for all options exercised, average years to cancellation for all<br />

options cancelled and average years remaining for outstanding options, which is calculated based on the weightedaverage<br />

vesting period plus the weighted-average of the difference between the vesting period and average years to<br />
