     Ward J. Timken is the father of Ward J. Timken, Jr. and the cousin of John M. Timken, Jr.

     The Board of Directors has adopted the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements for determining the independence of Directors. Those standards are annexed to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. The Board has determined that the following continuing Directors or Director nominees have no material relationship with the Company and meet those independence standards: Phillip R. Cox, Jerry J. Jasinowski, John A. Luke, Jr., Robert W. Mahoney, Joseph W. Ralston, John P. Reilly, Frank C. Sullivan, John M. Timken, Jr., Joseph F. Toot, Jr., and Jacqueline F. Woods. With respect to John M. Timken, Jr., the Board determined that Mr. Timken’s family relationship to Ward J. Timken and Ward J. Timken, Jr. does not impair Mr. Timken’s independence. Further, with respect to the finding that Joseph F. Toot, Jr., a former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is independent, important factors considered by the Board included the fact that Mr. Toot retired as an executive of the Company in 1998 and that he receives no cash compensation from the Company (excluding his pension) other than Director fees. The Board found that the office space and administrative support supplied to Mr. Toot by the Company do not create a material relationship.

     The Company’s Directors and executive officers are subject to the Company’s Standard of Business Ethics Policy, which requires that any potential conflicts of interest such as significant transactions with related parties be reported to the Company’s General Counsel. In the event of any potential conflict of interest, pursuant to the charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the provisions of the Standards of Business Ethics Policy, the Committee would review and, considering such factors as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, make a determination as to whether to grant a waiver to the Policy for any such transaction. Any waiver would be promptly disclosed to shareholders.

     The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Finance Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. During 2006, there were seven meetings of the Board of Directors, ten meetings of its Audit Committee, four meetings of its Compensation Committee, and four meetings of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Finance Committee was created in November 2006, and no meetings were conducted in 2006. All nominees for Director and all continuing Directors attended 75 percent or more of the meetings of the Board and its Committees on which they served. All members of the Board of Directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All Board members then in office attended last year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors, the Nonemployee Directors and the independent Directors also meet separately in executive sessions. The Chairpersons of the standing committees preside over those sessions on a rotating basis.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Cash Compensation

     Each Nonemployee Director who served in 2006 was paid at the annual rate of $60,000 for services as a Director. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee receives $30,000 annually in addition to base Director compensation and other members of the Audit Committee receive an additional $15,000 annually for serving on the Audit Committee. The Chairperson of the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Finance Committee each receive $15,000 annually in addition to base Director compensation and the other members of the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Finance Committee receive an additional $7,500 annually for serving on each Committee.

Stock Compensation

     Each Nonemployee Director serving at the time of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 18, 2006, received a grant of 2,500 shares of Common Stock under The Timken Company Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “Long-Term Incentive Plan”), following the meeting. The shares received are required to be held by each Nonemployee Director until his or her departure from the Board of Directors. Upon a Director’s initial election to the Board, each new Nonemployee Director receives a grant of 2,000 restricted shares of Common Stock under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, which vest over a five-year period. John P. Reilly received such a grant upon his election on July 10, 2006.

Compensation Deferral

     Any Director may elect to defer the receipt of all or a specified portion of his or her cash and/or stock compensation in accordance with the provisions of The Director Deferred Compensation Plan adopted by the Board on February 4, 2000. Pursuant to the plan, cash fees can be deferred into a notional account and paid at a future date requested by the Director. The account will be adjusted through investment crediting options, which include interest earned quarterly at a rate based on the prime rate plus one percent or the total shareholder return of the Company’s Common Stock, with amounts paid either in a lump sum or in installments in cash. Stock compensation can be deferred to a future date and paid either in a lump sum or installments and is payable in shares plus a cash amount representing dividend equivalents during the deferral period.

     The following table provides details of Director compensation in 2006.

The Compensation Committee determines specific compensation elements for the Chief Executive Officer and considers and acts upon recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer regarding the other executive officers.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     The Company, with the guidance and approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, has developed compensation programs for executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (the “named executive officers”), that are intended to provide a total compensation package that:

	•		enables the Company to attract, retain and motivate superior quality executive management;
	•		reflects competitive market practices based on comparative data from a relevant peer group of companies; and
	•		links the financial interests of executive management with those of shareholders, through short and long-term incentive plans clearly tied to corporate, business unit and individual performance.

     The Company believes that to meet these objectives it needs to provide a balance of current and long-term compensation. Current compensation provides needed personal liquidity, focuses executives on short-term priorities and dampens the impact of a volatile stock market. Providing a significant portion of executive compensation in the form of long-term compensation strengthens the alignment of executives to the long-term performance of the Company and provides a balance against short-term decision making. The allocation between current and long-term compensation is based primarily on competitive market practices relative to base salaries, annual incentive awards and long-term incentive values as well as the Committee’s assessment of the appropriate mix for the position. The Company also considers certain internal factors that may cause it to adjust a particular element of an executive’s compensation. These internal factors may include the executive’s operating responsibilities, management level, retention risk and tenure and performance in the position.

     While there is no fixed policy regarding the mix between current and long-term compensation for each position, the company does vary the mix of current and long-term compensation by management level. For example, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions receive more of their compensation in the form of long-term compensation relative to the other named executive officers, with both receiving approximately 40% in current compensation and 60% in long-term compensation, made up of approximately:

	•		20% in current cash base salary;
	•		20% in current cash bonus tied to annual performance goals;
	•		20% in long-term cash bonus pay tied to performance over a three-year cycle; and
	•		40% in long-term equity incentive compensation (stock options and restricted shares).

     In comparison, the other named executive officers receive approximately 50% in current compensation and 50% in long-term compensation. Positions lower in the organization have a greater emphasis on current pay. This reflects the Company’s view that more senior executives should have a more significant incentive to focus on and drive the long-term performance of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer and Chairman are expected to focus more than other senior executives on strategic issues that drive long-term performance.

     The Company also believes that both cash and non-cash compensation are required in order to meet the objectives described above. Cash is used as both current and long-term compensation, while non-cash compensation (i.e., share-based awards) is generally used only for long-term compensation. Cash compensation includes base salary, annual incentive awards and performance units, which are cash-based awards payable at the end of three years subject to attainment of certain corporate performance targets. Non-cash compensation includes stock option grants and restricted share grants.

     The allocation between cash and non-cash compensation is primarily based on competitive market practices for individual program elements, including salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive grants, and the company’s policy with respect to allocating between the different types of long-term incentive grants, including cash-based long-term performance units, restricted shares and stock options. Compensation tied to equity is intended to align the recipient’s interests with shareholders and cause changes in stock price to have a meaningful impact on the recipient’s personal wealth.

     Similar to the mix between current and long-term compensation, the Company does not target a fixed allocation between cash and non-cash compensation by position but rather looks at each element of pay and

determines the appropriate mix of cash and non-cash based on market and internal considerations. As a result, the allocation varies by management level. For example, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman each receive approximately 55% to 60% of total target compensation in the form of cash compensation and the remaining 40% to 45% in non-cash compensation. In comparison, the other named-executive officers receive 65% to 70% of total target compensation in the form of cash compensation and 30% to 35% in non-cash compensation. The mix of compensation ultimately realized by the executives is determined by a combination of individual, team and company performance over time.

     There are several factors that the Company evaluates in determining increases or decreases in compensation. These may include: promotions, individual performance, market compensation trends (such as changes in typical target annual incentive levels or changes in market long-term incentive values), and internal considerations such as changes in the executive’s responsibility. The amount of past compensation realized or potentially realizable does not directly impact the level at which future pay opportunities have been set.

     The Company annually reviews survey data from nationally recognized consulting firms. Collectively, these databases reflect the pay practices of hundreds of companies. In setting the compensation for the Company’s executive officers for 2006, the Compensation Committee conducted a review of total compensation provided by companies with net sales between $3 and $6 billion dollars. The Company believes that the size and complexity of the organization should be reflected in how compensation is determined. On the basis of guidance from Towers Perrin, the Company’s external compensation advisor, company revenues are viewed as the most reliable predictor of pay available to capture differences in size and scope among companies, which is why the market data are adjusted based on revenues.

     Guidelines for salaries, annual incentives and long-term incentive grants are based on the 50th percentile of the general industry data specific to each position. In some instances, the Company may provide compensation above or below the 50th percentile for a particular element for a particular position, based on previously-mentioned internal factors, including the executive’s operating responsibilities, management level, retention risk and tenure and performance in the position. The Company believes that targeting pay at the median in aggregate and adjusting pay above or below median for individual positions provides the proper balance between establishing fair and reasonable pay levels and requiring that performance exceed expectations in order to deliver pay that is higher than that provided by the majority of companies in the comparison group.

     The Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President — Human Resources and Organizational Advancement prepare compensation recommendations for the named executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions) and present these recommendations to the Compensation Committee. The Chief Executive Officer’s and Chairman’s compensation packages are determined by the Compensation Committee and approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors during executive session.

     The Company compares each element of compensation provided to its executive officers to the market data, and considers the total compensation package in relation to the target established for the position. Following completion of this analysis and development of proposed base salary ranges, target annual performance award opportunities and long-term incentive grants, an external compensation consultant reviews the information and discusses the findings with the Compensation Committee. The Committee then approves, with any modifications it deems appropriate, base salary ranges, target annual performance award opportunities and long-term incentive grants for the Company’s executive officers.

     As part of this process, the Compensation Committee reviews all the components of the Chief Executive Officer’s and the other named executive officers’ compensation and determines that each individual’s total compensation is reasonable and consistent with the Company’s compensation philosophy.

     The company analyzes the overall expense arising from aggregate executive compensation levels and awards and the components of the Company’s pay, as well as the accounting and tax treatment of such programs. The Company has addressed the impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) by obtaining shareholder approval of the Senior Executive Management Performance Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan and by allowing certain grants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan to qualify as performance-based compensation. The Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers all participated in the Senior Executive Management Performance plan for 2006. The Compensation

Committee considers the deductibility of compensation and benefits for Federal income tax purposes, along with other relevant factors, when determining executive compensation practices.

Base Salary

     The base salary component of executive compensation is intended to reflect an individual’s competencies, skills, experience and performance. Base salary ranges for executive officers are determined by the Compensation Committee based on external surveys of salary practices for positions with similar levels of responsibility and in consultation with an external compensation consultant. At least annually, the Committee reviews the base salary amounts for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman in light of their experience, leadership and performance in relation to the performance of the Company, position in the salary range and internal equity considerations and then makes recommendations regarding their base salaries to the full Board for approval. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves, with any modifications it deems appropriate, the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer regarding individual base salary amounts for each of the other named executive officers based on the same factors.

     Following this review process in 2006, the Compensation Committee determined that no base salary adjustment was required for the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman in light of current market data and the desired emphasis on incentive pay for these positions. The other named executive officers received increases in their base salaries that ranged from 5.4% to 13.6%, based on the factors discussed above. The Committee also considered internal equity among the positions in coming to these decisions.

Annual Performance Award

     The Company’s Senior Executive Management Performance Plan provides the named executive officers with the opportunity to earn annual incentive compensation based on the achievement of corporate performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. It is intended to focus the named executive officers on specific performance goals in the current year.

     For 2006, the Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers all participated in the Senior Executive Management Performance Plan. The plan provided a target award opportunity of 100% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman and 60% of base salary for the other named executive officers, although the actual awards could be higher or lower than the target depending upon the attainment of the goals. The Company also has a Management Performance Plan for other executive officers and key employees that provides an annual incentive opportunity based on measures and goals similar to those of the Senior Executive Management Performance Plan.

     The Compensation Committee establishes the performance goals each year based upon business plans approved by management and reviewed with the Board of Directors as well as competitive market practice. The performance goals may differ from the business plan in a given year, but are intended to reflect desired performance over the course of a full business cycle. Accordingly, goals are established with the objective of paying approximately at target, on average, over a full business cycle, with a low probability of either failing to reach threshold levels or reaching maximum levels.

     For 2006, the primary performance measurement was return on invested capital, defined as earnings before interest and taxes as a percentage of beginning invested capital (“EBIT/BIC”), excluding the effects of restructuring and impairment charges and accounting changes as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The Committee believes that EBIT/BIC is closely correlated with the creation of shareholder value. This measure is considered at the corporate level and for each business unit, although for 2006 all named executive officers were measured only on corporate EBIT/BIC performance. This measure constituted 80% of the total award calculation for the Senior Executive Management Plan in 2006.

     In addition, specific goals may be established for other key measures that the Compensation Committee identifies as being aligned with the creation of shareholder value. For 2006, the Compensation Committee selected working capital as a percentage of sales as an additional measure for the named executive officers. This measure constituted 20% of the total award calculation for the Senior Executive Management Plan in 2006.

     A minimum level of performance for each measure is established each year, below which no annual performance awards are earned. Bonuses paid to individual executives are based on the actual financial

results in relation to the target goals under the plan. In addition, the Committee retains the discretion to adjust downward any awards determined by the formula as the Committee deems appropriate.

     Results in 2006 exceeded the threshold performance necessary for annual performance awards to be earned under the Senior Executive Management Plan. The Compensation Committee considered the performance of each named executive officer in relation to his or her individual goals as well as internal pay equity and determined to use its negative discretion under the plan to adjust the awards, resulting in final cash awards of approximately 100% of target for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman and 64% to 134% of target for the other named executive officers.

     The goals for the annual performance award plans for 2007 were set by the Compensation Committee at the February 2007 meeting. The performance measures for the Senior Executive Management Performance Plan for 2007 are corporate EBIT/BIC and working capital as a percentage of sales. Corporate EBIT/BIC will constitute 80% of the total award calculation, while working capital as a percentage of sales will constitute 20% of the total award calculation in 2007.

     The Compensation Committee selected the Chief Executive Officer, the other named executive officers and Salvatore J. Miraglia, Jr., President — Steel, as the participants in the Senior Executive Management Performance Plan for 2007. The target award opportunity for 2007 is 100% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman and 60% of base salary for the other named executive officers, although the actual awards could be higher or lower than the target percentages depending upon the attainment of corporate, business unit and individual goals.

Long-Term Incentives

     The Compensation Committee administers the Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was last approved by shareholders effective April 20, 2004. Awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan can be made in the form of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, restricted shares and deferred shares. In 2006, the Company utilized three different types of long-term incentive grants for executive officers:

	•		Performance units, which are designed to reward executives with cash payments contingent on the attainment of specified multi-year corporate performance goals;
	•		Nonqualified stock options, which vest over time (typically four years) and are granted with the intent to provide value to the holder only if shareholders receive additional value after the date of grant; and
	•		Restricted shares, which also vest over time (typically four years) and are granted in order to foster stock ownership among executives, create a retention mechanism, and focus executives on total shareholder return (including dividends).

     In total, the Company believes that these three programs provide a balanced perspective on shareholder value creation and retention of key managers over the course of a full business cycle. These programs also serve to balance the short-term operating focus of the Company.

     The value of each type of long-term incentive grant is linked directly to the performance of the Company or the price of Common Stock. For performance units, payouts are entirely contingent on the attainment of corporate performance targets over a three-year performance period. No payments are made under this program unless the threshold level of performance is achieved on two distinct performance measures. In the case of stock options, the recipient recognizes value only to the extent that the stock price increases above the market price of the stock at the time the option is granted. And for restricted shares, value is directly related to the stock price and dividends paid by the Company.

     Guideline grant levels for each of the three forms of long-term incentive were established in 2004 and have been held constant since that time. The guidelines were established in order to deliver a total value, at grant, equal to each executive’s targeted level of long-term incentive value as defined using prevailing market practice. The allocation of grant value between the three long-term incentive programs was based on a combination of market practice, internal equity considerations and relative importance of the objectives behind each of the three programs (i.e., reward attainment of multi-year performance goals, provide value tied to stock price appreciation, foster stock ownership and retention).

     On average, for the named executive officers, each of the Company’s long-term incentive vehicles represents approximately one-third of the total long-term incentive value. For the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman, however, there is greater emphasis placed on the stock option component, with their long-term incentive mix being approximately 30% in cash-based performance units, 40% in stock options and 30% in restricted shares. This allocation reflects the Company’s belief that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman, more than other officers, are directly accountable for long-term shareholder value creation.

     Performance units, stock options and restricted shares are typically granted by the Compensation Committee during the first quarter of each year, when the Committee determines all elements of the officers’ compensation for the year. Approval of grants for newly hired or promoted executives during the course of the year occurs at the Compensation Committee meeting immediately following the hiring or promotion.

Performance Units

     The three-year performance cycle for performance units starts on January 1 of each year. Cash payouts in respect of performance units are made by March following the end of each performance cycle.

     The performance measures used for the performance units granted in 2006 are return on equity and sales growth over the 2006-2008 performance cycle. Each measure is weighted equally. The goals for each measure are tied to the Company’s three-year strategic plan. The target award opportunity for the performance units granted in 2006 is 100% of base salary (as of January 1, 2006) for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman and ranges from 70% to 80% of base salary (as of January 1, 2006) for the other named executive officers, although the actual awards could be higher or lower than the target percentages depending upon the attainment of the goals.

     For the performance units covering the 2004-2006 performance cycle, which were granted in 2004 and also used the performance measures of return on equity and sales growth, performance of both measures exceeded the target performance level. Achievement of results against the pre-established targets resulted in an award of 150% of target level. The Chief Executive Officer received a cash award of 150% of base salary in effect on January 1, 2004 and the other named executive officers received cash awards that ranged from 105% to 120% of base salary in effect on January 1, 2004.

     Under the accounting rules, performance units result in variable accounting, whereby the Company’s expense equals the value paid to the executives. As such, the ultimate expense is not determinable until the end of the three-year performance period. When the executives earn and receive a payout, the Company receives a corresponding tax deduction.

Stock Options

     Executives (including the named executive officers) receive nonqualified stock options that:

	•		have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant;
	•		typically vest over a four-year period in equal amounts each year; and
	•		expire ten years after the date of grant.

     Under the accounting rules, the value of the stock options at the time of grant is expensed over the vesting period in the year the options are earned. When executives exercise stock options, they are taxed at ordinary income tax rates (subject to withholding) and the Company receives a corresponding tax deduction.

Restricted Shares

     Executives (including the named executive officers) receive restricted shares that typically vest over a four year period in equal amounts each year.

     Under the accounting rules, the grant date fair value is expensed over the service/vesting period based on the shares that are earned. The executives are taxed at ordinary income tax rates (subject to withholding) when the shares vest, and the Company receives a corresponding tax deduction.

     Share ownership targets have been established for all senior executives and are intended to align the interests of executive management with those of shareholders by requiring executives to be subject to long-

term stock price volatility like shareholders. These targets set a specific level of ownership ranging for named executive officers from 3 to 5 times the executive’s base salary, to be achieved in most cases within five years of the date the guidelines become applicable to the named executive officer. The Company recognizes all shares owned by the executive, including restricted shares still subject to forfeiture but not including shares that are subject to unexercised option rights, in determining whether ownership targets have been met. The Company has a formal policy that prohibits hedging the economic risk related to such stock ownership.

Retirement Income Programs

     The Company maintains both qualified and nonqualified retirement income programs. The named executive officers participate in qualified plans on the same terms and conditions as all other salaried employees and also participate in the Company’s nonqualified retirement income programs. The Company currently provides nonqualified retirement income through two types of plans:

	•		Nonqualified defined contribution plan, which provides for after-tax savings based on each executive’s contributions, company match and core defined contributions in excess of tax limits. The nonqualified defined contribution plan in which the named executive officers participate is the Post-Tax Savings Plan.
	•		Nonqualified defined benefit plan, which provides for a targeted percentage of salary and annual incentive income that will be continued through retirement. The nonqualified defined benefit plan in which the named executive officers participate is the Supplemental Executive Retirement Program for Executive Officers (the “SERP”). The SERP provides for a benefit based on final average earnings with offsets for benefits provided under the Company’s other retirement programs.

     The nonqualified retirement income benefits are primarily intended to restore benefits that otherwise would be provided under the qualified retirement plans were it not for limits on benefits and compensation imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.

     The value of the nonqualified retirement income programs is quantified each year and these programs are periodically reviewed for their competitiveness. To date, the value of these programs has not had a significant impact on decisions regarding salary, annual incentive awards or long-term incentive grants.

Termination-Related Payments

     In addition to retirement payments, the company provides termination-related payments in the event of involuntary termination without cause and involuntary termination without cause following a change in control.

     The Company provides payments in the event of involuntary termination without cause through Severance Agreements with individual executives. Severance Agreements are provided based on competitive market practice and the Company’s desire to provide some level of income continuity should an executive’s employment be terminated without cause. The Company believes that providing for such income continuity results in greater management stability and lower unwanted management turnover.

     Severance Agreements also provide for termination payments following involuntary termination without cause following a change in control. These provisions are based on competitive practice and are designed to ensure that executives’ interests remain aligned with shareholders should a potential change of control occur. They are also intended to provide some level of income continuity should an executive’s employment be terminated without cause. The Company believes that providing for such income continuity results in greater management stability and lower unwanted management turnover.

Deferred Compensation

     The Company maintains a Deferred Compensation Plan that allows certain employees, including the named executive officers, to defer receipt of all or a portion of their salary, employee contributions and company match that would otherwise be directed to the Post-Tax Savings and Investment Plan and/or incentive compensation payable in cash or shares of Common Stock until a specified point in the future. Cash deferrals earn interest quarterly at a rate based on the prime rate plus one percent. The Deferred Compensation Plan is not funded by the Company and participants have an unsecured contractual

commitment by the Company to pay the amounts due under the plan. When such payments are due, they will be distributed from the Company’s general assets. In the event of a change in control in the Company, as defined in the plan, participants are entitled to receive deferred amounts immediately. The Company believes that providing employees with tax deferral opportunities aids in the attraction and retention of such employees.

     The value of deferred compensation amounts is quantified each year and this program is periodically reviewed for its competitiveness. To date, the value of deferred compensation has not had a significant impact on decisions regarding salary, annual incentive awards or long-term incentive grants.

Perquisite Programs

     The Company’s executive officers, including all of the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in a number of broad-based benefit programs, including health, disability and life insurance programs. The named executive officers may also receive certain perquisites including term life insurance coverage, financial counseling and tax preparation, annual physical examinations, country club membership fees (although personal expenses are not reimbursed) and home security systems. These items are intended to provide executives with a competitive perquisite program.

(1)		The amounts shown in this column represent the FAS123R compensation expense recognized in 2006 in connection with grants of deferred dividend equivalents, restricted shares and deferred shares to            the named executive officers, excluding the effect of certain forfeiture assumptions. These amounts represent expense recognized in 2006 for financial reporting purposes related to awards granted from 2002-2006.
		Awards of restricted and deferred shares typically vest and are amortized over a 4-year period, with the exception of Mrs. Dedo’s 2004 restricted share grant of 25,000 shares that vested 6,000 shares per year on each anniversary date of her hire in 2005 and 2006, with the remaining 13,000 vesting in 2007 and Mr. Eisenberg’s 2002 restricted share grant of 50,000 shares that vested at a rate of 6,000 shares per year, on each anniversary date of hire for 2003 through 2006, with the remaining 26,000 shares vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant.
		Options granted by the Company prior to April 2002 provided for deferred dividend equivalents to be earned when total net income per share of the outstanding Common Stock is at least two and one-half times (or two times in the case of options granted prior to 1996) the total amount of cash dividends paid per share during the relevant calendar year. Deferred dividend equivalents are not traditional restricted stock, but deferred shares with no voting or statutory dividend rights. The deferred shares are subject to forfeiture until issuance, which occurs four years after the date they are earned provided the grantee remains continuously employed by the Company. These grants are amortized over a 4-year period.
		The amount shown for Mr. Griffith includes expense booked in 2006 for 8,439 deferred dividend equivalents granted in 2004 and 2005 and 150,000 restricted shares granted from 2002 to 2006; the amount shown for Mr. Timken includes expense for 1,477 deferred dividend equivalents and 54,000 restricted shares; the amount shown for Mr. Eisenberg includes expense for and 439 deferred dividend equivalents and 86,000 restricted shares; the amount shown for Mr. Arnold includes 2,658 deferred

		dividend equivalents, 45,000 restricted shares, and 25,000 deferred shares; and the amount shown for Mrs. Dedo includes expense for 45,000 restricted shares.
		FAS 123R compensation expense is determined based on the fair market value of Common Stock, which is the average of the high and low price of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. See also our discussion of Stock Compensation Plans in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in footnote 9 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Dividends are paid on restricted shares at the same rate as paid to all shareholders.
(2)		The amounts shown in this column represent the FAS 123R compensation expense for nonqualified stock options granted from 2004 to 2006, excluding the effect of certain forfeiture assumptions. Stock options vest at a rate of 25% per year. Options granted prior to 2006 were amortized over a period of 30 months. Beginning in 2006, all new grants are amortized over a four year period for FAS 123R. The value shown for Mr. Griffith includes expense for the unamortized portion of 402,000 shares granted from 2004 to 2006; the value shown for Mr. Timken includes expense for 165,000 aggregate shares; the value shown for Mr. Eisenberg includes expense for 105,000 aggregate shares; the value shown for Mr. Arnold includes expense for 90,000 aggregate shares; and the value shown for Mrs. Dedo includes expense for 125,000 aggregate shares. Assumptions used to determine expense for nonqualified stock options are listed in the discussion of Stock Compensation Plans in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in footnote 9 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
(3)		The amounts shown in this column represent cash awards under a) the Senior Executive Management Performance Plan (annual incentive plan) for 2006 and b) performance units under the Long-Term Incentive Plan covering the 2004-2006 performance cycle. Amounts earned under the Senior Executive Management Performance Plan and performance units, respectively, for each of the named executive officers was as follows: Mr. Griffith — $950,000 and $1,350,000; Mr. Timken — $750,000 and $432,000; Mr. Eisenberg — $380,000 and $624,000; Mr. Arnold — $380,000 and $430,500; and Mrs. Dedo — $160,000 and $393,750.
(4)		The amounts shown in this column represent the difference between the amounts shown in the Pension Benefits table below as of December 31, 2006 and those amounts calculated as of December 31, 2005. See the discussion of Pension Benefits below for a description of how the amounts as of December 31, 2006 were calculated. The amounts as of December 31, 2005 were calculated using the same assumptions, except that mortality was based on the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table rather than the RP-2000 Mortality Table. For both years, liabilities were determined assuming no probability of termination, retirement, death, or disability before age 62 (the earliest age unreduced pension benefits are payable from the plans). None of the named executive officers earned above-market earnings in a deferred compensation plan.

	(1)		The amounts shown indicate threshold, target and maximum awards for performance units covering the 2006-2008 performance cycle granted to each named executive officer in 2006 under the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Payment of awards is subject to the attainment of return on equity and sales growth targets over the 2006-2008 performance cycle. Each measure is weighted equally. For any payment to be earned, the actual performance during the performance cycle must exceed the threshold performance levels for both return on equity and sales growth. If the threshold performance level for either measure is not attained, then no payment will occur. If an award is payable, the minimum award is 75% of target and the maximum award is 200% of target. Payments may be made in cash or shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
	(2)		The amounts shown indicate threshold, target and maximum awards under the Senior Executive Management Performance Plan for 2006. The Senior Executive Management Plan is a shareholder-approved plan in which all the named executive officers participated in 2006. The performance metrics for 2006 were corporate EBIT/BIC and working capital as a percentage of sales. A minimum level of performance for each measure is established each year, below which no annual performance awards are earned. Bonuses paid to individual executives are based on the actual financial results in relation to the target goals under the plan. In addition, the Committee retains the discretion to adjust downward any awards determined by the formula as the Committee deems appropriate.
	(3)		The amounts shown include restricted shares granted in 2006, as follows: Mr. Griffith — 30,000 shares; Mr. Timken — 27,000 shares; Mr. Eisenberg — 12,000 shares; Mr. Arnold — 10,000 shares; and Mrs. Dedo — 10,000 shares. These restricted shares will vest over four years in 25% increments on the anniversary date of the grant. Dividends are paid on all restricted shares at the same rate as shares of Common Stock generally. The amount shown for Mr. Arnold also includes 25,000 deferred shares granted in 2006 that will vest in full on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The remaining amounts are deferred dividend equivalents earned in 2006, which are subject to forfeiture until four years after the date they are earned.

	(4)		All options granted to the named executive officers in the last fiscal year were granted on February 6, 2006. All options were granted pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan with an exercise price equal to the fair market value (as defined in the plan) on the date of grant, have a ten year term and will become exercisable over four years in 25% increments on the anniversary date of the grant. The agreements pertaining to these options provide that such options will become exercisable in full and will vest in the event of normal retirement, early retirement with the Company’s consent, death or disability of the option holder or a change in control of the Company, in each case as defined in such agreements.
			The rules on executive compensation disclosure issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission authorize the use of variations of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in valuing executive stock options. The Company used this model to estimate the grant date present value of $9.59. In applying this model, basic assumptions were made concerning variables such as expected option term, interest rates, stock price volatility and future dividend yield, to establish an estimated option value. There is, of course, no assurance that the value actually realized by an executive will be at or near the estimated value, because the actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised.
			The following assumptions were used in establishing the option value for the options granted on February 6, 2006: (a) an option term of 5 years, which is the expected life of the option based on historical experience of stock option exercises at the Company; (b) an interest rate of 4.53%, which corresponds to the yield to maturity on an 5-year U.S. zero coupon bond as of February 10, 2006; (c) volatility of .35, calculated using the daily-ending stock prices for 5 years prior to the grant date; and (d) dividend yield of 2.14%, the average amount paid annually over the 5 years prior to grant date. These assumptions are not a forecast of future stock price or volatility or of future dividend policy.
	(5)		The values shown are derived by aggregating the fair market value of restricted shares, deferred shares and deferred dividend equivalents granted in 2006 and the fair market value of the nonqualified stock options. The fair market value of restricted shares, deferred shares and deferred dividend equivalents is the average of the high and low price of Common Stock on the date of grant multiplied by the number of full shares granted. The fair market value of the nonqualified stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model.
