(Employee — Performance Vesting)

     This RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ___ day of ____, 20___ (the “Grant Date”), by and between Graham Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and having an office at 20 Florence Avenue, Batavia, New York 14020 (the “Company”) and _______________ (the “RSA Holder”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

     WHEREAS, by action of its Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Company has adopted the 2000 Graham Corporation Incentive Plan to Increase Shareholder Value, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), pursuant to which Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) with respect to shares of common stock of the Company (“Shares”) may be granted to the Company’s eligible officers and employees; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Article III of the Plan, a Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has been appointed to select the individuals to whom RSAs shall be granted and to prescribe the terms and conditions of such grants; and

     WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the RSA Holder is eligible to be granted an RSA and desires to grant an RSA to the RSA Holder, and the RSA Holder desires to accept such grant, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the RSA Holder hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1. Grant of RSA. As of the date set forth above, the Company hereby grants, and the RSA Holder hereby accepts the Company’s grant of, an RSA of ____ Shares (the “Restricted Shares”), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

     Section 2. Restrictions and Vesting.

          (a) Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, provided that the RSA Holder is still a full-time employee of the Company at that time, the Payout Percentage of the number of Restricted Shares will vest on the last day of the Company’s 20___ fiscal year (the “Vesting Date”). The Payout Percentage shall be the sum of the EBIT Percentage and the Net Income Percentage.

          (b) The EBIT Percentage shall be based on the Company’s EBIT margin for the Company’s 20___ fiscal year compared to the EBIT margin of the Baird Industrial Company Composite for calendar year 20___ as follows:

FY 20___ EBIT Margin		Performance Share Payout		EBIT Percentage

[Insert Table For Individual Awards]

If the EBIT Margin is equal to or greater than the level to have some EBIT Percentage, but less than or equal to the maximum level, and the EBIT Margin actually attained is not represented in the table set forth above, then the EBIT Percentage shall be determined by straight-line interpolation from the amounts specified in such table immediately less than and greater than the EBIT Margin actually attained.

          (c) The Net Income Percentage shall be based on the Company’s net income for the Company’s 20___ fiscal year as follows:

FY___Net Income		Performance Share Payout		Net Income Percentage

[Insert Table For Individual Awards]

If the FY___ Net Income is equal to or greater than the level to have some Net Income Percentage, but less than or equal to the maximum level, and the FY___ Net Income actually attained is not represented in the table set forth above, then the Net Income Percentage shall be determined by straight-line interpolation from the amounts specified in such table immediately less than and greater than the FY___ Net Income actually attained.

          (d) (i) Upon the date that the RSA Holder becomes eligible for Retirement, a portion of the outstanding Restricted Shares under this Agreement shall immediately vest in full. Such portion shall be the number of shares with a Fair Market Value on such date equal to the minimum tax required to be withheld by the Company on the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares that would vest upon the Retirement of the RSA Holder on such date pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii). The Company shall deduct and apply the shares that so vest to cover the tax withholding. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean a voluntary separation from service by the RSA Holder when he or she is at least age 62 and has been employed by the Company on a full-time basis for ten or more years.

               (ii) Upon the death, Disability or Retirement of the RSA Holder:

                    (A) the EBIT Margin shall be deemed to have met performance at Target level, and the EBIT Percentage shall be 25%;

                    (B) the FY___ Net Income shall be deemed to have met performance at Target level, and the Net Income Percentage shall be 25%; and

                    (C) the number of Restricted Shares that vest shall be equal to the number of outstanding Restricted Shares under this Agreement, multiplied by the Payout Percentage, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the Grant Date through the date of the RSA Holder’s death, Disability or Retirement, over the number of days from the Grant Date through the last day of the Company’s 20___ fiscal year.

          (e) Except as otherwise provided by Section 2(b), or unless the Committee determines otherwise, if the RSA Holder’s employment terminates before the Vesting Date for any reason, the unvested Restricted Shares as of such date shall be forfeited and cancelled immediately.

     Section 3. Rights as a Stockholder. The RSA Holder will have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including, but not limited to, the right to receive such cash dividends, if any, as may be declared on such Shares from time to time and the right to vote (in person or by proxy) such Restricted Shares at any meeting of stockholders of the Company.

     Section 4. Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Shares. The Restricted Shares, and the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive dividends thereon, may not, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered in any way prior to the Vesting Date, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The RSA Holder agrees that until the Vesting Date, any certificate representing the Restricted Shares (or any portion thereof) will be held by the Company’s stock transfer agent or other representative of the Company (the “RSA Agent”) until the applicable performance is satisfied and the Company’s provides written authorization to such RSA Agent.

     Section 5. Registration and Delivery of Restricted Shares. The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares under this Agreement and/or authorize the RSA Agent to release Restricted Shares shall, if the Committee so requests, be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation as to the investment intention of the RSA Holder to whom such Shares are to be delivered, in such form as the Committee shall determine to be reasonably necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of applicable federal, state or local law. It may be provided that any such representation shall become inoperative upon a registration of the Shares or upon the occurrence of any other event eliminating the necessity of such representation. The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares under this Agreement prior to (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which Shares may then be listed, or (b) the completion of such registration or other qualification under any state or federal law, rule or regulations as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

     Section 6. Adjustments in the Event of Reorganization. In the event of any merger, consolidation, or other business reorganization in which the Company is the surviving entity, and in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or other event generally affecting the number of Shares held by each person who is then a shareholder of record, the number of Restricted Shares shall be adjusted to account for such event. Such adjustment shall be effected by multiplying such number of Restricted Shares by an amount equal to the number of Shares that would be owned after such event by a person who, immediately prior to such event, was the holder of record of one Share.

     Section 7. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement nor any action of the Board or Committee with respect to this Agreement shall be held or construed to confer upon the RSA Holder any right to a continuation of employment by the Company or any of its affiliates which employ the RSA Holder. The RSA Holder may be dismissed or otherwise dealt with as though this Agreement had not been entered into.

     Section 8. Taxes. Where any person is entitled to receive Shares pursuant to the RSA granted hereunder, the Employer shall have the right to require such person to pay to the Employer the amount of any tax which the Employer is required to withhold with respect to such Shares, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or to sell without notice, a sufficient number of Shares to cover the amount required to be withheld.

     Section 9. No Assignment. The RSA granted hereunder shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation or assignment, nor shall such RSA be liable for or subject to debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts, nor shall it be transferable by the RSA Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

     Section 10. Notices. Any communication required or permitted to be given under the Plan, including any notice, direction, designation, comment, instruction, objection or waiver, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at such time as it is delivered personally or five (5) days after mailing if mailed, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such party at the address listed below, or at such other address as one such party may by written notice specify to the other party:

     Section 11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company and the RSA Holder and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

     Section 12. Construction of Language. Whenever appropriate in the Agreement, words used in the singular may be read in the plural, words used in the plural may be read in the singular, and words importing the masculine gender may be read as referring equally to the feminine or the neuter. Any reference to a section shall be a reference to a section of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them under the Plan.

     Section 13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by the federal law.

     Section 14. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part and in any manner not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, at any time and from time to time by written agreement between the Company and the RSA Holder.

     Section 15. Plan Provisions Control. This Agreement and the rights and obligations created hereunder shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, shall control.

If a fully executed copy of this Agreement is not received by the Committee within forty-five (45) days after the date when it is presented to the RSA Holder, the Committee may revoke the RSA granted, and thereby avoid all obligations, hereunder.
