Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "GCL") sets forth provisions which define the extent to which a
corporation organized under the laws of Delaware may indemnify directors,
officers, employees and agents. Article Thirteenth of the Registrant's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Article III, Section 8, of the
Registrant's By-laws provide for the indemnification by the Registrant of
each person who is or was or had agreed to become a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant, or, at the request of the Registrant,
a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against all
expenses and other amounts for which indemnification may be made under law.
Under the GCL, directors and officers as well as employees and individuals
may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions,
suits and proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation
as a derivative action) if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
The Registrant also maintains directors' and officers' reimbursement
and liability (including fiduciary liability) insurance and has entered
into agreements with its directors and certain officers providing for
indemnification in certain events.
Item 8. Exhibits
The Exhibit Index is incorporated by reference into this Item 8 in its
entirety from the Exhibit Index attached hereto beginning at page 6 below.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
section (10)(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons or the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in a successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it

THE INTERLAKE CORPORATION
1986 STOCK INCENTIVE PROGRAM
(As amended April 23, 1992)
1. Purpose. The purpose of The Interlake Corporation 1986 Stock
Incentive Program (the "Program") is to attract and retain

Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation") and to furnish
incentives to such persons to increase profits by providing such
persons opportunities ("Benefits") to acquire shares of the
Corporation's common stock, $1 par value ("Common Stock"), or to

provided.
2. Administration. The Program will be administered by the

Commission.
3. Participants. Participants in the Program will consist of such
officers or key employees of the Corporation as the Committee in its

consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting participants
and in determining the type and amount of their respective Benefits,

years; (iii) contributions of participants to the profitability and

adjustment in accordance with any adjustment pursuant to Paragraph
16 hereof. If there is a lapse, expiration, termination or
cancellation of any Stock Option (otherwise than upon the exercise
of an Appreciation Right) or Appreciation Right prior to the
exercise thereof, or if shares are issued as a Stock Award and
thereafter are reacquired by the Corporation pursuant to rights
reserved upon issuance thereof, such shares may again be used for
new Benefits authorized under the Program. Shares covered by any
Stock Option surrendered upon the exercise of an Appreciation Right
shall not be available for the granting of further Benefits.

(c) The term "Market Value per Share" means, at any date, the
average of the high and low price of the Common Stock on that date
(or, if there are no sales on that date, the last preceding date on

Transactions as report by The Wall Street Journal, corrected for
reporting errors.
(d) The term "Optionee" means the optionee named in an agreement
evidencing an outstanding Stock Option.
(e) The term "Option Right" means the right to purchase one share

Stock granted pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Program.
7. Stock Options. The Committee may, from time to time and upon
such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize the

of the foregoing.
(g) No Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years from
the Date of Grant.
(h) Each grant of Stock Options shall be evidenced by an
agreement executed on behalf of the Corporation by any officer and

consistent with the Program, as the Committee may approve.

to all of the limitations, contained in the following provisions:
(a) Any grant may (i) when granted specify that the amount payable

or (ii) may either grant to the Optionee or retain in the Committee
the right to elect among those alternatives subsequent to the Date
of Grant.
(b) Any grant may specify that the amount payable on exercise of
an Appreciation Right (valuing shares of Common Stock for this
purpose at their Market Value per Share at the date of exercise) may
not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee at the Date of
Grant.
(c) Any grant may specify waiting periods before exercise and
permissible exercise dates or periods, and shall provide that no
Appreciation Right may be exercised except at a time when the
related Option Right is also exercisable.
(d) Each grant shall specify that the Committee may at any time
amend, suspend or terminate the Appreciation Rights covered thereby
(provided that, in the case of an amendment, the amended
Appreciation Rights shall conform to the provisions of the Program).
(e) Each grant of an Appreciation Right shall be evidenced by a
notification executed on behalf of the Corporation by any officer
and delivered to the Optionee, which notification shall describe

Right, state that such Appreciation Right is subject to all the
terms and conditions of the Program, and contain such other terms
and provisions, consistent with the Program, as the Committee may
approve.

terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize the granting to
participants of Stock Awards. A Stock Award shall be a right of the
participant to receive from the Corporation a number of shares of
Common Stock of The Interlake Corporation specified by the
Committee, without monetary consideration. Each grant may utilize
any or all of the authorizations, and shall be subject to all of the
limitations, contained in the following provisions:
(a) Each such grant shall specify the number of shares of Common
Stock to which it relates.

participant.
(d) Any such grant may be accompanied by a cash award payable at
such times and in such amount (not exceeding 100% of the
compensation income recognized by the participant by reason of such
grant for federal, state and local income tax purposes) as the
Committee may determine.
(e) Each such grant shall specify that the Committee may at any
time amend, suspend or terminate the Stock Award (and accompanying
cash award, if any) covered thereby, provided that, in the case of
an amendment, the amended Stock Award (and accompanying cash award,
if any) shall conform to the provisions of the Program.
(f) Each grant of Stock Awards (and accompanying cash awards, if
any) shall be evidenced by a notification executed on behalf of the
Corporation by any officer and delivered to and accepted by the
participant, which notification shall describe the Stock Award (and
accompanying cash award, if any), state that the same is subject to
all of the terms and conditions of the Program, and contain such
other terms and provisions, consistent with the Program, as the
Committee may approve.
10. Restricted Stock Purchase Plan. The Committee is authorized
to adopt a restricted stock purchase plan providing for the transfer
of shares of Common Stock to officers and other key employees of the
Corporation at prices below the then current fair market value of
such shares in consideration for their services to the Corporation
and on terms and conditions which subject the participant's
interests in such shares to a "substantial risk of forfeiture"
within the meaning of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1954. Shares transferred pursuant to such restricted stock purchase
plan shall be subject to such other restrictions, limitations and
conditions as may be required by said Plan or as the Committee
believes to be appropriate, including, without limitation,
restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such Common Stock
and rights of the Corporation to reacquire such Common Stock upon
termination of the participant's employment within specified
periods.
11. Limitation on Transferability. No Stock Option,
Appreciation Right or share of Common Stock subject to forfeiture
or other restriction of the kind described in Paragraph 9(b) or
in any restricted stock purchase plan adopted hereafter shall be
transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and any such Benefit shall be exercisable during
the lifetime of the participant to whom such Benefit has been
granted only by him or by his guardian or legal representative,
and after such participant's death shall be exercisable only by
his legal representative.
12. Other Provisions. The award of any Benefit under the
Program may also be subject to other provisions (whether or not
applicable to the Benefit awarded to any other participant) as
the Committee determines appropriate, including, without
limitation, restrictions on resale or other disposition, such
provisions as may be appropriate to comply with federal and state
securities laws and stock exchange requirements, and
understandings or conditions as to the participant's employment
in addition to those specifically provided for under the Program.
13. Manner of Action by the Corporation. The Secretary of The
Interlake Corporation (or such other officer as the Chief
Executive Officer of The Interlake Corporation may from time to
time designate) shall supervise the maintenance of records for
all participants in the Program. Any determination of such
officer, if approved by the Committee, shall be binding and
conclusive for all purposes.
14. Taxes. The Corporation shall be entitled if necessary or
desirable to withhold, or secure payment from the participant in
lieu of withholding, the amount of any local, state or federal
withholding or other tax due from the Corporation attributable to
any amount payable or shares deliverable under the Program after
giving the person entitled to receive such amount of shares notice
as far in advance as reasonably practicable, and the Corporation
may defer making payment or delivery if any such tax may be pending
unless and until indemnified to its satisfaction.
15. Tenure. A participant's right, if any, to continue to serve
the Corporation as an officer or employee shall not be enlarged or
otherwise affected by the establishment of the Program or his
designation as a participant.
16. Adjustment Provisions. (a)If the Corporation shall at any
time change the number of issued shares of Common Stock without new
consideration to the Corporation (such as by stock dividends, stock
splits or stock combinations), the total number of shares reserved
for issuance under the Program and the number of shares covered by
each outstanding Benefit shall be adjusted so that the aggregate
consideration payable to the Corporation and the value of each such
Benefit shall not be changed. Benefits may also contain provisions
for their continuation or for other equitable adjustments after
changes in the Common Stock resulting from reorganization, sale,
merger, consolidation or similar occurrence.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program, and
without affecting the number of shares reserved or available
hereunder, the Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption
of Benefits in connection with any merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization upon such terms
and conditions as it may deem appropriate.
17. Amendment and Termination of Benefits and the Program.
(a) The Committee may amend the Program from time to time or
terminate the Program at any time. However, except for adjustments
expressly provided for herein, no amendment may increase the number
of shares issuable under the Program or change the class of persons
eligible, as defined in Paragraph 3 hereof, to participate in the
Program. No benefit shall be granted pursuant to the Program more
than 10 years after the date of ratification and approval of the
Program by the stockholders of the Corporation.
(b) The Committee may, with the concurrence of the affected
Optionee, amend or cancel any agreement evidencing Stock Options
granted under this Plan. In the event of cancellation, the
Committee may authorize the granting of new Stock Options (which
may or may not cover the same number of shares which had been the
subject of the prior agreement) in such manner, at such option
price, and subject to the same terms, conditions and discretions,
as under the Program would have been applicable had the cancelled
Stock Options not been granted.
(c) In case of termination of employment by reason of death,
disability or retirement under a retirement plan of the Corporation
of a participant who holds a Stock Option or Appreciation Right not
immediately exercisable in full, or any Stock Award or Restricted
Stock as to which such condition, limitation, restriction or
substantial risk of forfeiture has not lapsed, the Committee may,
in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which such Stock
Option or Appreciation Right may be exercised or the time at which
such condition, limitation, restriction or substantial risk of
forfeiture will lapse.
18. Effective Date. The Program shall become effective on the
date on which the Plan of Reorganization contemplated by the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus of Interlake, Inc. dated March 26, 1986 is
effectuated.
Exhibit 4.16
THE INTERLAKE CORPORATION
1989 STOCK INCENTIVE PROGRAM
(As amended April 23, 1992)
1. Purpose. The purpose of The Interlake Corporation 1989 Stock
Incentive Program (the "Program") is to attract and retain outstanding
individuals as directors, officers and employees of The Interlake
Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation") and to furnish
incentives for superior performance by providing such persons
opportunities ("Benefits") to acquire shares of The Interlake
Corporation's common stock, $1 par value, or any security into which
such shares may be changed by reason of any transaction or event of the
type described in Paragraph 15(a) hereof ("Common Stock"), on
advantageous terms as herein provided.

serving in any of such capacities within 90 days following the granting
of Benefits to such person) as the Committee in its sole discretion may
designate from time to time to receive Benefits hereunder. The
Committee's designation of a participant at any time shall not require
the Committee to designate such person to receive a Benefit at any
other time, or, if so designated, to receive the same type or amount
of Benefit at any other time, or as may be received by any other
participant at any time. The Committee shall consider such factors as
it deems pertinent in selecting participants and in determining the
type and amount of their respective Benefits.
4. Types of Benefits. Benefits under the Program may be granted in
any one or a combination of (a) Stock
Options, (b) Stock Awards, and (c) Shares in Lieu of Certain
Cash Payments, all as described below in Paragraphs 6 through 9
hereof.

authority to cause a grant of Stock Award to provide that such
Stock Award or any installment thereof will be accelerated for any
reason stated therein.

notification executed on behalf of the Corporation by an officer
thereof and delivered to and accepted by the participant, which
notification shall describe the Stock Award, state that the same

Program, as the Committee may approve.
9. Shares in Lieu of Certain Cash Payments. The Committee may also
authorize the granting of shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash which
would otherwise be payable as a bonus, pursuant to any incentive
compensation plan or otherwise, to officers and key employees of the
Corporation. Each such grant may utilize any or all of the
authorizations, and shall be subject to all of the limitations,
contained in the following provisions:
(a) The proportion of any such bonus to be paid in shares of Common
Stock shall be as determined by the Committee.

by a written notification executed on behalf of the Corporation by an
officer thereof and delivered to the participant.
(e) Except to the extent provided in this Paragraph 9, no cash bonus,
whether payable pursuant to an incentive compensation plan or
otherwise, shall constitute a part of the Program or be affected by the
Program.
10. Limitation on Transferability. No Stock Option or share of Common
Stock which is subject to forfeiture or other restriction of the kind
described in Paragraph 8(b) shall be transferable otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such Benefit
shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the participant to whom
such Benefit has been granted only by him or by his guardian or legal
representative, and after such participant's death shall be exercisable
only by his legal representative.
11. Other Provisions. The award of any Benefit under the Program may
also be subject to other provisions (whether or not applicable to the
Benefit awarded to any other participant) as the Committee determines
appropriate, including, without-t limitation, restrictions on resale
or other disposition, such provisions as may be appropriate to comply
with federal and state securities laws and stock exchange requirements,
and understandings or conditions as to the participant's employment,
in addition to those specifically provided for under the Program.
12. Manner of Action by the Corporation. The Secretary of The
Interlake Corporation (or such other officer as the Chief Executive
Officer of The Interlake Corporation may from time to time designate)
shall supervise the maintenance of records for all participants in the
Program. Any determination of such officer, if approved by the
Committee, shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes.
13. Taxes. The Corporation shall be entitled if necessary or
desirable to withhold, or secure payment from the participant in lieu
of withholding, the amount of any local, state or federal withholding
or other tax due from the Corporation attributable to any shares
deliverable under the Program after giving the person entitled to
receive such amount of shares notice as far in advance as reasonably
practicable, and the Corporation may defer making delivery if any such
tax may be pending unless and until indemnified to its satisfaction.
14. Tenure. A participant's right, if any, to continue to serve the
Corporation as an officer or employee shall not be enlarged or
otherwise affected by the establishment of the Program or his
designation as a participant.
15. Adjustment Provisions. (a) The Committee shall make or provide
for such adjustments in the number of shares of Common Stock covered
by outstanding Stock Options granted hereunder, in the Option Price
applicable to such Stock Options, and in the kind of securities covered
thereby, as the Committee in its sole discretion, exercised in good
faith, determines is equitably required to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the rights of Optionees that otherwise would result from
(a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the
Corporation, or (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, repurchase or exchange
of shares, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or
(c) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar
to any of the foregoing. The Committee shall also make or provide for
such adjustments in the number of shares reserved for issuance as
specified in Paragraph 5 of the Program as the Committee in its sole
discretion, exercised in good faith, determines is appropriate to
reflect any transaction or event described in the preceding sentence.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program, and without
affecting the number of shares reserved or available hereunder, the
Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption of Benefits in
connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or
stock, or reorganization appropriate.
16. Amendment and Termination of Benefits and the Program. (a) The
Committee may amend the Program from time to
time or terminate the Program at any time. However, except for
adjustments expressly provided for herein, no amendment may
increase the number of shares issuable under the Program or
change the class of persons eligible, as defined in Paragraph 3 hereof,
to participate in the Program. No Benefit shall be
granted pursuant to the Program after November 20, 1999.
(b) The Committee may, with the concurrence of the affected Optionee,
amend or cancel any agreement evidencing Stock Options granted under
this Plan. In the event of cancellation, the Committee may authorize
the granting of new Stock Options (which may or may not cover the same
number of shares which had been the subject of the prior agreement) in
such manner, at such Option Price, and subject to the same terms,
conditions and discretions, as under the Program would have been
applicable had the cancelled Stock Options not been granted.
(c) In case of termination of employment by reason of death,
disability or retirement under a retirement plan of the Corporation of
a participant who holds a Stock Option not immediately exercisable in
full, or any Stock Award as to which a condition, limitation,
restriction or substantial risk of forfeiture has not lapsed, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which
such Stock Option may be exercised or the time at which such condition,
limitation, restriction or substantial risk of forfeiture will lapse.
17. Grant of Stock Awards to Outside Directors. Upon approval of the
Program by a majority of the outstanding shares of The Interlake
Corporation present or represented at the 1990 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, each director
of The Interlake Corporation who is then an Outside Director
(collectively, "Current Outside Directors") shall be granted a stock
award, substantially as set forth in the Appendix attached hereto and
made a part hereof, A person who thereafter becomes an Outside Director
("New Outside Director") will, upon becoming an outside Director,
receive a stock award consisting of (i) a pro-rata number of shares to
be earned out by Current Outside Directors (in the absence of any
forfeitures) in the April-to-April year in which the New Outside
Director first becomes an Outside Director and (ii) the number of
shares to be earned out by Current Outside Directors (in the absence
of any forfeitures) immediately prior to the date duly established for
each of The Interlake Corporation's annual meetings of shareholders to
be held in each succeeding year through 1995. The number of shares
granted to each New Outside Director shall be adjusted so as to
equitably give effect to any dividend paid in common stock or other
event described in Paragraph 15(a) hereof.
18. Effective Date. The Program shall become effective on November
21, 1989. If the Program is not approved by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote at
the 1990 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The Interlake Corporation
(or any adjournment thereof), any Benefits theretofore granted pursuant
to the Program shall be forfeited, notwithstanding any other provision
of the Program or notification or agreement issued thereunder.
