2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this Agreement), dated as of             , 20     is entered into between PMFG, INC., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and              (Grantee). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the PMFG, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the Plan).

W I T N E S S E T H:

A. Grantee is, or will become within 90 days of the Date of Grant (as defined below), an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and has been designated a Participant under the Plan; and

B. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, on             , 2013 (Date of Grant), Grantee was granted an award of performance-based Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”). This award represents the contingent right to receive a number of RSUs, which entitles the Grantee to receive an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Shares), in accordance with and pursuant to this Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Company and Grantee agree as follows:

1. Grant of RSUs. The Company hereby grants to Grantee, effective as of the Date of Grant an award of RSUs. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (a) Grantee shall be eligible to vest in a number of RSUs based upon the level of the achievement of specific performance criteria (the “Performance Goals”) for a performance period (the “Performance Period”) as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the number of eligible RSUs determined after assessment of performance shall be referred to as the “Eligible RSUs”) and (b) Grantor shall vest in any Eligible RSUs based on his or her remaining in the continuous employ of the Company or a Subsidiary until             , 2015 (such date shall be referred to as the “Normal Vesting Date” and to the extent modified by Section 3 (and in other cases) shall be referred to as the “Applicable Vesting Date”), and the number of RSUs so vested on such date shall be referred to as the “Vested RSUs”). Grantee shall be entitled to receive Common Shares only to the extent the underlying RSUs are both Eligible RSUs and Vested RSUs.

2. Effect of Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control occurring prior to the last day of the Performance Period and while Grantee is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the number of Eligible RSUs shall be the target number of RSUs for such Performance Period or, at the discretion of the Board, a greater number of RSUs based on actual performance (as determined by the Board) through the date the Change of Control occurs. Any Eligible RSUs, however, shall remain subject to the last sentence of Section 1, as modified by Section 3.

3. Effect of Death or Disability. In the event the Grantee dies or becomes Disabled (as defined below) while Grantee is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, but prior to the last day of the Performance Period, the number of Eligible RSUs shall be determined as if the Grantee remained employed through the last day of the Performance Period. Any such Eligible RSU shall become Vested RSUs as of the last day of the Performance Period and in such case the “Applicable Vesting Date” shall be the last day of the Performance Period. In the event the Grantee dies or becomes Disabled while Grantee is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary after the last day of the Performance Period but prior to the Normal Vesting Date, any Eligible RSUs shall become Vested RSUs as of the date of Grantee’s death or becoming Disabled and in such case the “Applicable Vesting Date” shall be the date of Grantee’s death or becoming Disabled.


Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) in the event the Grantee dies or becomes Disabled while Grantee is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, but prior to the last day of the Performance Period, and a Change in Control subsequently occurs prior to the last day of the Performance Period, (i) the number of Eligible RSUs shall be determined under Section 2 as of the date the Change in Control occurs, (ii) any such Eligible RSUs shall become Vested RSUs as of the date the Change of Control occurs, and (iii) in such case the “Applicable Vesting Date” shall be the date the Change in Control occurs and (b) in the event the Grantee dies or becomes Disabled while Grantee is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary after the date the Change of Control occurs but prior to the Normal Vesting Date, any Earned RSUs shall become Vested RSUs as of the date of Grantee’s death or the date the Grantee becomes Disabled and in such case the “Applicable Vesting Date” shall be the earlier of the date of Grantee’s death or the date the Grantee becomes Disabled.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disabled” means, a condition by reason of any medical or physical impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for 180 consecutive or non-consecutive days, for which the Executive is receiving income replacement benefits and is expected to continue to receive benefits for a period of not less than nine (9) months under a Company-sponsored health plan or policy.

4. Restrictions on Transfer. The RSUs may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by Grantee; provided, however, that Grantee’s interest in the RSUs may be transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the RSUs that is in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void, and the other party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in the RSUs.

5. Forfeiture of RSU. Except as provided in Section 3, any of the RSUs that are unearned or unvested shall be forfeited if Grantee ceases for any reason to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at any time prior to the RSU becoming vested in accordance with this Agreement, unless the Board determines to provide otherwise at the time of the cessation of Grantee’s employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, by reason of (1) the transfer of Grantee’s employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries, (2) an approved leave of absence of not more than 90 days, or (3) the period of any leave of absence required to be granted by the Company under any law, rule, regulation or contract applicable to Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

6. Payment of RSUs. Within 30 days of the Applicable Vesting Date, the Common Shares underlying such Vested RSUs as of such date shall be transferred to Grantee.

7. Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. Grantee shall have no rights of ownership in the Common Shares underlying the RSUs and shall have no right to vote such Common Shares until the date on which the Common Shares are transferred to Grantee pursuant hereto. Dividend equivalents will be paid in cash on the Common Shares underlying the RSUs and shall be deferred (with no earnings accruing) until and paid contingent upon the earning of the related RSUs and paid at the same time the underlying shares are transferred to the Grantee.

8. Communications. All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder or designated to be given with respect to the rights or interests covered by this Agreement shall be deemed to have been properly given or delivered when delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, U.S. mail or reputable overnight carrier, with full postage prepaid and addressed to the parties as follows:
