ARTICLE III

EQUITY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

Section 3.1. Establishment of Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, (a) Crane Company shall establish the Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan for the benefit of eligible Crane Company Employees and Crane Company Non-Employee Directors that is substantially similar to the Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plan and (b) Crane Holdings, Co., as the sole stockholder of Crane Company, shall approve the Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan. After the Effective Time, Crane Company may make such changes, modifications or amendments to the Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan, as may be required by applicable Law or as are necessary and appropriate to reflect the Distribution or to permit the implementation of the provisions of this Article III.

Section 3.2. General Principles.

(a) Each Crane Holdings, Co. Equity Compensation Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as described below in this Article III; provided, however, that, prior to the Effective Time, the Crane Holdings, Co. Compensation Committee may provide for different treatment with respect to some or all of the Crane Holdings, Co. Equity Compensation Awards held by holders of awards located outside of the United States to the extent that the Crane Holdings, Co. Compensation Committee deems such treatment necessary or appropriate, including to avoid adverse tax consequences to such holders. Any such adjustments made by the Crane Holdings, Co. Compensation Committee pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth below and shall be binding on the Parties and their respective Affiliates. The provisions of this Article III shall not apply unless the Distribution takes place.

15

(b) As further set forth in this Article III:

(i) Any Crane Holdings, Co. Equity Compensation Award held by a Crane Holdings, Co. Executive Officer, Crane NXT, Co. Executive Officer, Crane Company Executive Officer, Crane Holdings, Co. Non-Employee Director, or Crane Company Transferred Non-Employee Director, shall be adjusted using the “shareholder method,” in which each Crane Holdings, Co. Equity Compensation Award outstanding prior to the Distribution is adjusted into a Crane NXT, Co. Equity Compensation Award under one of the continuing Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plans and a Crane Company Equity Compensation Award under the Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan.

(ii) All other Crane Holdings, Co. Equity Compensation Awards shall be adjusted using the “replacement method,” in which each Crane Holdings, Co. Equity Compensation Award outstanding prior to the Effective Time is adjusted into either a Crane NXT, Co. Equity Compensation Award under one of the continuing Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plans or a Crane Company Equity Compensation Award under the Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan, based on whether the award holder is employed by a member of the Crane NXT Group or Crane Company Group immediately after the Effective Time. All Former Crane NXT, Co. Employees and Former Crane Company Employees who still have a Crane Holdings, Co. Equity Compensation Award outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be treated the same as a Crane Company Employee, with such awards adjusted under the “replacement method” into a Crane Company Equity Compensation Award.

Notwithstanding clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.2(b), if an individual is a party to an individual written agreement entered into before the Distribution Date with Crane Holdings, Co. or its Affiliates specifying a method for adjustment that differs from the general principles described above, the terms of such individual agreement shall control. In each case, regardless of the adjustment method used, the resulting awards will be adjusted in a manner intended to preserve the intrinsic value of those awards immediately before the Distribution.

(c) Each award granted prior to the Distribution under one of the Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plans, which is adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Article III, shall otherwise continue to retain the same terms and conditions of the original award, subject to any necessary changes to take into account that the award holder under the award is employed or affiliated with a new employer or plan sponsor, if applicable.

(d) Subject to Section 3.13, following the Distribution, an award holder who has outstanding Crane NXT, Co. Equity Compensation Awards and/or Crane Company Equity Compensation Awards shall be considered to have been employed since the original award grant date by the holder’s employer immediately after the Effective Time for purposes of (i) continued vesting and (ii) determining the date of termination of employment as it applies to any such award.

(e) No award described in this Article III, whether outstanding or to be issued, adjusted, substituted or cancelled by reason of or in connection with the Distribution, shall be adjusted, settled, cancelled, or exercisable until, in the judgment of the administrator of the applicable plan or program, such action is consistent with all applicable Law, including federal securities Laws. Any period of exercisability will not be extended on account of a period during which such an award is not exercisable in accordance with the preceding sentence.

16

(f) Following the Distribution Date, (i) if any Crane NXT, Co. Equity Compensation Award shall fail to become vested or fail to be exercised prior to the applicable expiration date, such Crane NXT, Co. Equity Compensation Award shall be forfeited to Crane NXT, Co. and (ii) if any Crane Company Equity Compensation Award shall fail to become vested or fail to be exercised prior to the applicable expiration date, such Crane Company Equity Compensation Award shall be forfeited to Crane Company.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article III, from and after the Distribution Date, (i) Crane Company shall have sole responsibility for the administration of the Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan and the settlement of the Crane Company Equity Compensation Awards, and no member of the Crane NXT Group shall have any liability or responsibility therefor, and (ii) the appropriate member of the Crane NXT Group shall have sole responsibility for the administration of the Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plans and the settlement of the Crane NXT, Co. Equity Compensation Awards, and no member of the Crane Company Group shall have any liability or responsibility therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Crane Company and its designees shall have exclusive authority and discretion with respect to all employment-related determinations or decisions required or permitted to be made by the applicable sponsor, administrator or employer entity under the terms of the Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plans with respect to Crane NXT, Co. Equity Compensation Awards held by Crane Company Employees, and Crane NXT, Co. and its designees shall have exclusive authority and discretion with respect to all employment-related determinations or decisions required or permitted to be made by the applicable sponsor, administrator or employer entity under the terms of the Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan with respect to Crane Company Equity Compensation Awards held by Crane NXT, Co. Employees. Similarly, Crane Company and its designees shall have exclusive authority and discretion with respect to all service-related determinations or decisions required or permitted to be made by the applicable sponsor or administrator under the terms of the Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plans with respect to Crane NXT, Co. DSU Awards which will be settled upon a separation from service from the Crane Company Board in accordance with Section 3.4(b)(iii), and Crane NXT, Co. and its designees shall have exclusive authority and discretion with respect to all service-related determinations or decisions required or permitted to be made by the applicable sponsor or administrator under the terms of the Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan with respect to Crane Company DSU Awards which will be settled upon a separation from service from the Crane NXT, Co. Board in accordance with Section 3.4(b)(i). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company agree to administer the Crane NXT, Co.

To the extent necessary to provide the withholding amount in cash to the entity responsible for payroll taxes, withholding, and reporting (e.g., in the case of share withholding), the issuer of the applicable award will provide the withholding amount in cash.

Section 3.4. Deferred Stock Unit Awards.

(a) Adjustments. Each Crane Holdings, Co.

DSU Award and a Crane Company DSU Award and each award shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.4, be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as were applicable to such Crane Holdings, Co. DSU Award prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time: (i) the number of Crane NXT, Co. Shares underlying such Crane NXT, Co. DSU Award shall be the same as were underlying the Crane Holdings, Co. DSU Award immediately before the Distribution; and (ii) the number of Crane Company Shares subject to the Crane Company DSU Award shall be equal to the number of Crane Company Shares that would have been received in the Distribution had the Crane Holdings, Co. Shares underlying the Crane Holdings, Co. DSU Award been issued and outstanding immediately before the Distribution. For example, if the Distribution results in one Crane Company Share issued for each Crane Holdings, Co. Share, the number of Crane Company Shares underlying the Crane Company DSU Award immediately after the Distribution shall be the same as the number of Crane NXT, Co. Shares underlying the Crane NXT, Co. DSU Award immediately after the Distribution.

(b) Settlement. Following the Effective Time, the timing of settlement of the awards shall be determined as follows:

Stock Incentive Plan and/or Crane Company Stock Incentive Plan and the requirements of Section 409A of the Code).

(ii) Each Crane NXT, Co. DSU Award and Crane Company DSU Award held by a Crane Holdings, Co. Non-Employee Director who continues to serve on the Crane NXT, Co.
