ARTICLE III.

VESTING; PAYMENT

Section 3.1 ‑ Vesting of PSUs

(a)        Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1 and 3.2, the PSUs shall vest in their entirety on [  ]; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the PSUs shall be fully vested on the date the Participant (i) dies, (ii) satisfies the requirements for Retirement or (iii) experiences a Disability;  provided further, that the Participant has not experienced a Termination of Service prior to each such date. 

(b)        If the Participant experiences a Termination of Service resulting from the Company’s discharge of the Participant without Cause, such Participant shall immediately vest in that number of PSUs, equal to the number of PSUs in which such Participant would have vested on [  ], but for such Termination of Service,  multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the date hereof to the date of Participant’s Termination of Service and the denominator of which is the number of days from the date hereof to [  ].        

Section 3.2 ‑ Effect of a Change in Control 

Notwithstanding Section 3.1, in the event of a Change in Control, if:

(a)        The PSUs are not continued, assumed or new PSUs substituted therefore by a successor, any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary under Section 13.2(b)(ii) of the Plan, then immediately prior to the Change in Control the PSUs shall become fully vested and payable at target levels subject to and effective on the Change in Control; or

(b)        The PSUs are continued, assumed or new PSUs are substituted therefore by a successor or any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary under Section 13.2(b)(ii) of the Plan, then the PSUs shall become fully vested upon the Participant’s Termination of Service without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change in Control. 

Section 3.3 ‑ Termination of PSUs

Until vested pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, all PSUs issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the Participant’s Termination of Service.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Participant experiences a Termination of Service prior to a Vesting Date for any reason not described in Section 3.1 or 3.2(b), all PSUs issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately terminate.

Section 3.4 ‑ Payment of PSUs

Except as provided under Section 3.2(a) vested PSUs shall become payable, to the extent any amount becomes payable in respect of a vested PSU, as soon as practicable after [  ]; provided, however, if the Participant has not satisfied the requirements for Retirement or has not died or incurred a Disability, such payment shall be made by the March 15 immediately following the end of the Performance Period, and if the Participant has a Termination of Service due to death, Retirement or Disability prior to [  ], such vested PSUs shall become payable as soon as practicable after the Company determines the extent, if any, to which the performance criteria below have been satisfied, but in any event during [  ].  Each vested PSU shall entitle the Participant to receive a number of Shares, if any, determined by the addition of:  (a) the Company’s cumulative EPS (as defined below) performance at a weight of [  ]% and (b) the Company’s average ROIC (as defined below) performance at a weight of [  ]%, with the total of that summation multiplied by (c) the Company’s relative Total Shareholder Return (“r-TSR”) (as defined below) results.

Period and adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and to exclude the effect of non-service pension costs. The cumulative EPS shall be the sum of the EPS for each fiscal year ending during the Performance Period.  Results between the minimum and target cumulative EPS; and results between the target and maximum cumulative EPS shall be interpolated per the attached charts, as determined by the Committee.

If the Company’s performance falls below either EPS or ROIC minimum amount, no Shares shall become payable with respect to such component of the PSU, provided that failure to meet or exceed the minimum amount with respect to EPS or ROIC shall not affect any payment due with respect to the other measure of performance.  PSUs shall have a zero value if the Company fails to meet or exceed both the minimum EPS and the minimum ROIC during the Performance Period.  Conversely, to the extent the Company’s performance exceeds either performance measure, no amounts in excess of such maximum performance measures shall be taken into account in determining the amount payable with respect to such PSU.  Charts illustrating the [  ] through [  ] performance measures are shown in Attachment A.

Section 3.5 – Dividend Equivalents

A bookkeeping account will be established by the Company to which Dividend Equivalents equal to the product of (a) the number of PSUs subject to this Agreement, and (b) the dividend declared on a single share of Common Stock will be credited. To the extent the Participant becomes vested in the PSUs issued pursuant to this Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents will be converted to cash or additional Shares (as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion) and will be paid to the Participant at the same time as the Shares of Common Stock are issued with respect to the vested PSUs. The Dividend Equivalents will cease and be forfeited upon the earlier of (i) the settlement of the PSUs into shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the forfeiture and termination of the PSUs under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV.

Participant covenants and agrees that prior to Participant’s Termination of Service and for a period of three (3) years following the Participant’s Termination of Service, including without limitation termination for Cause or without Cause, Participant shall not, in any country in which the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary manufactures or sells its products, engage, directly or indirectly, whether as principal or as agent, officer, director, employee, consultant, shareholder or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, corporation or other entity, in any Competing Business.

Section 4.2 ‑ Non-Solicitation of Employees

Participant agrees that prior to his Termination of Service and for three (3) years following Participant’s Termination of Service, including without limitation termination for Cause or without Cause, Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any Employee of the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary to leave the employment of the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever, or hire any Employee of the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary except into the employment of the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary.

Section 4.3 ‑ Equitable Relief

Participant agrees that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to the Company in the event that Participant breaches any of the restrictive covenants provided in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof.  Accordingly, in the event that Participant breaches any such restrictive covenant, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Participant from further violating such restrictive covenant.  If the Company shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce any such restrictive covenant, Participant hereby waives the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law and agrees not to assert such claim or defense.  The foregoing shall not prejudice the Company’s right to require Participant to account for and pay over to the Company, and Participant hereby agrees to account for and pay over, any  compensation, profits, monies, accruals or other benefits derived or received by Participant as a result of any transaction constituting a breach of any of the restrictive covenants provided in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof.

Section 5.5 ‑ Rights as Stockholder

Participant shall not, by virtue of the PSUs, be entitled to vote in any Company election, receive any dividend in respect of Shares subject to the PSUs (except as provided under Section 3.5 above) or exercise any other rights of a stockholder of the Company.  The PSUs shall not confer upon the Participant any rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until the PSUs have vested and certificates representing the Shares subject to the PSUs shall have been issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 5.6 ‑ Titles

Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of applicable law, including without limitation the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, including without limitation Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this

Agreement shall be administered, and the PSUs shall be granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement and the PSUs granted hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

Section 5.8 ‑ Section 409A

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code provides that “nonqualified deferred compensation” that does not meet the requirements specified in Section 409A may become subject to penalty taxes.  Currently, the Company does not believe that PSUs constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A; however, if, in the future, the PSUs are or may become subject to Section 409A, the Committee may make such modifications to the Plan and this Agreement as may become necessary or advisable, in the Committee’s sole discretion, to either comply with Section 409A or to avoid its application to the PSUs.

Section 5.9 ‑ Amendment

This Agreement and the Plan may be amended without the consent of the Participant provided that such amendment would not impair any rights of the Participant under this Agreement.  No amendment of this Agreement shall, without the written consent of the Participant, impair any rights of the Participant under this Agreement.

The Company’s obligation to issue or deliver to the Participant any certificate or certificates for Shares is expressly conditioned upon receipt from the Participant, on or prior to the date reasonably specified by the Company of:

(a)        Full payment (in cash or by check) of any amount that must be withheld by the Company, a Parent Corporation or Subsidiary for federal, state and/or local tax purposes; or

(b)        Subject to the Committee’s consent, full payment by delivery to the Company of unrestricted Shares previously owned by the Participant, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company by the Participant with an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined, as applicable, as of the date of vesting or as of the date of the distribution) equal to the amount that must be withheld by the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary for federal, state and/or local tax purposes; or

(c)        With respect to the withholding obligation for PSUs that become vested and Dividend Equivalents that become payable, subject to the Committee’s consent, full payment by retention by the Company of a portion of the Shares (or cash as applicable) deliverable in respect of such vested PSUs and Dividend Equivalents with an aggregated Fair Market Value (determined on the payment date) equal to the amount that must be withheld by the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary for federal, state and/or local tax purposes; or

(d)        With respect to any withholding tax obligations for PSUs that become vested, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the PSUs, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company or the Subsidiary with respect to which the withholding obligation arises in satisfaction of such withholding taxes; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary at such time as may be required by the Committee, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale; or

(e)        Subject to the Committee’s consent, a combination of payments provided for in the foregoing subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d).

With respect to each individual who was an executive officer of the Company and subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act on the Grant Date only, the Committee in approving this PSU award has consented to payment of tax withholding obligations under subsection (c), or a combination of the methods set forth in subsections (a), (c) and (d), as the Participant may elect during such time periods as the Company may permit in compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the payment of any PSUs and/or Dividend Equivalents in order to satisfy the Company’s federal, state and/or local tax withholding obligations with respect to the payment of the PSUs and/or Dividend Equivalents shall be no greater than the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such withholding obligations based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and/or foreign income and payroll tax purposes.

Section 5.11 ‑ Clawback

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, all PSUs and Dividend Equivalents awarded under this Agreement, and any Shares issued upon settlement hereunder shall be subject to forfeiture, or repayment pursuant to the terms of any policy that the Company may implement in compliance with the requirements of applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 5.12 ‑ Governing Law
