ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

4.1 General. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company during the Term as provided in this ARTICLE IV. Upon termination of employment, the Term shall end and the Executive shall be paid the pro-rated portion of the Salary accrued but unpaid to the date of his termination.

This amount shall be in lieu of and shall be reduced by any termination or severance pay representing Salary or Bonus which is payable to Executive under any Proprietary Matters Agreement, offer of employment letter or other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates.

In the event the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined below) at any time within one year after a Change in Control, such event shall be considered equivalent to a termination without cause, and the Executive shall be entitled to receive the same payment provided in the previous paragraph for termination without cause within one year after a Change in Control. “Good Reason” will exist if: (a) Executive’s Salary, target Bonus or total compensation opportunity (including Salary, target Bonus and long-term incentive compensation opportunity) is reduced below the level in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, (b) Executive’s title, duties or responsibilities with the Company are significantly reduced from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (c) Executive is required to relocate his principal office to a location more than fifty (50) miles from its location immediately prior to the Change in Control, provided that the Executive must furnish written notice to the Company setting forth the reasons for Executive’s intention to terminate employment for Good Reason under this paragraph, and the Company shall have an opportunity to cure the actions or omissions forming the basis for such intended termination, if possible, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice.

4.7 Assistance to Company. The Executive agrees that in the event any administrative or legal proceeding is instituted against the Company or any of its affiliates in connection with any action taken while the Executive was in the Company’s employ, the Executive will provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in defense of such action or proceeding.

EXHIBIT A TO LINDSAY CORPORATION

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

I.R.C. § 409A

This Exhibit A to the Lindsay Corporation Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) modifies and clarifies certain terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement between Lindsay Corporation (“Company”) and the Executive (herein referred to as “Employee”). The purpose of this Exhibit A is to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”)

1. Termination of Employment. To the extent that the Agreement provides for any termination payments to be made or provided to Employee as a result of involuntary termination of employment without cause or by Employee for Good Reason, Employee will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment when Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

In general, Employee will have a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409 as of the date that the level of bona fide services that Employee is expected to perform permanently decreases to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services that Employee performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services if Employee has been providing services less than 36 months).

For these purposes, “services” include services that Employee provides as an employee or as an independent contractor. In addition, in determining whether Employee has experienced a “separation from service,” the Company is obligated to take into account services Employee provides both for it and for any other corporation that is a member of the same “controlled group” of corporations as the Company under Section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or any other trade or business (such as a partnership) which is under common control with the Company as determined under Section 414(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, in each case as modified by Section 409A. In general, this means that the Company will consider services Employee provides to any corporation or other entity in which Lindsay Corporation, directly or indirectly, possesses at least 50% of the total voting power or at least 50% of the total value of the equity interests.

2. Release and Timing of Termination Payments. The Release which Employee is required to deliver to the Company in order to receive termination payments under the Agreement shall be delivered to Company not later than 30 days following Employee’s “separation from service.” Except as provided in Paragraph 3 below, Employee’s lump sum termination payment shall be paid in full on the first regular payday following Employee’s “separation from service” after Employee’s right to revoke the Release pursuant to applicable law has lapsed, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following Employee’s “separation from service.”

3. Required Delay in Payment for “Specified Employees”. Each of the payments under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.

- 8 -

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A for the period in which any payment or benefit under this Agreement would otherwise commence or be made, and (b) such payment or benefit under this Agreement would otherwise subject Employee to any tax, interest or penalty imposed under Section 409A if the payment or benefit were to commence or be made within six months of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, then all such payments or benefits that would otherwise be paid during the first six months after Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be accumulated and shall be paid on the earlier of (1) the first day which is at least six months after Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A or (2) the date of Employee’s death.

4. Reimbursements. If Employee is entitled to receive during or following termination of employment any reimbursements that constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, (a) any such reimbursements shall be paid no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred; (b) the amounts eligible for reimbursement in any calendar year shall not affect the amounts eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, and (c) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation in exchange for any other payment or benefit.

5. No Liability of Company. Lindsay Corporation shall not be liable to Employee for any taxes, interest or penalties which may be imposed on Employee under Section 409A or corresponding provisions of state laws.
