Exhibit 10.1

The Gorman-Rupp Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Performance Share Grant Agreement

THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of
            , 2015 (the “Grant Date”), is between The Gorman-Rupp Company, an
Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and                     (the “Grantee”).

1. Grant of Performance Shares. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the
Performance Shares set forth in Appendix A (the “Target Award”). Each
Performance Share shall be deemed to be the equivalent of one common share of
The Gorman-Rupp Company (a “Share”). The Grantee shall not have any of the
rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares deliverable to the Grantee in
payment of the Performance Shares, including the right to vote or receive
dividends, until payment of the Performance Shares is made under this Agreement.

2. Subject to the Plan. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of The
Gorman-Rupp Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to
time (the “Plan”), and, unless defined herein or the context requires otherwise,
terms used herein as defined terms shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.
In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Plan and this
Agreement, the Plan shall control.

3. Account. The Company shall credit the Performance Shares to a bookkeeping
account (the “Account”) maintained by the Company for the Grantee’s benefit.
Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in Section 12.2 of the Plan, the
number of Performance Shares credited to the Account shall be equitably and
appropriately adjusted as provided in that Section.

4. Earning of Performance Shares. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive
payment of the number of Performance Shares earned by the Grantee over the
Performance Period (as defined in Appendix A), subject to the terms of this
Agreement and the Plan. The number of any Performance Shares earned by the
Grantee for the Performance Period will be determined at the end of the
Performance Period based on the level of achievement of the performance measure
goals set forth in Appendix A. If none of the performance measure goals are met,
then all of the Performance Shares shall be forfeited. Promptly following
completion of the Performance Period, the Committee will review and certify in
writing (a) whether, and to what extent, the performance measure goals for the
Performance Period have been achieved, and (b) the number of Performance Shares
that the Grantee is eligible to earn, if any, subject to compliance with the
vesting requirements of Section 5 of this Agreement.

5. Vesting. The Performance Shares shall become vested at the end of the
Performance Period, provided that the Grantee has remained employed by the
Company or a Subsidiary or Division since the Grant Date, except as otherwise
provided in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement, and subject to the achievement
of the performance measure goals set forth in Appendix A for the Performance
Period.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vested Performance Shares shall be settled in Shares (or, in the discretion of
the Committee, in cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof). Settlement and
delivery of the applicable number of Shares (or cash equivalent, if applicable)
shall be made as soon as practicable following vesting, but in no event later
than two and one-half (2 1⁄2) months after the vesting date.

6. Termination of Employment

(a) General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, in the event
of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries
and Divisions prior to the end of the Performance Period for any reason, all of
the Performance Shares that were not vested on the date of such termination of
employment shall be immediately forfeited.

(b) Retirement or Disability. In the event of the Grantee’s Retirement or
Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee shall vest in
the Performance Shares under Section 5 of this Agreement as if employment had
not terminated, subject to (i) the achievement of the performance measure goals
set forth in Appendix A and (ii) a pro rata reduction equal to the result of
multiplying (x) the Performance Shares that would have become earned at the end
of the Performance Period pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement had the
Grantee remained in employment by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of whole months of employment from the beginning of the Performance
Period to the date of the Grantee’s Retirement or Disability, and the
denominator of which is thirty-six (36).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean termination of the
Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions if
(i) the Grantee is then at least age 55 and has completed at least fifteen
(15) years of cumulative service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and
Divisions, (ii) the Grantee’s is then at least age 60 and has completed at least
ten (10) years of cumulative service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and
Divisions or (iii) the Grantee is then at least age 65 and has completed at
least five (5) years of cumulative service with the Company and its Subsidiaries
and Divisions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean (A) the
Grantee’s becoming disabled within the meaning of the long-term disability plan
then provided by the Company or a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable, to its
employees, (B) physical or mental incapacity that renders the Grantee unable to
perform employment services for a period of 180 consecutive days or an aggregate
of 180 days in any consecutive 365-day period or (C) as otherwise determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may require such proof of
Disability as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion deems
appropriate.

(c) Death. In the event of the Grantee’s death while employed by the Company or
a Subsidiary or Division prior to the end of the Performance Period,
notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Grantee shall immediately vest in that number of Performance Shares equal to the
result of multiplying the Target Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of whole months of employment from the beginning of the Performance
Period to the date of the Grantee’s death, and the denominator of which is
thirty-six (36).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Termination by Company without Cause. In the event of the Grantee’s
termination of employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions
without Cause (as defined in this Section 6) at least 12 months after the
beginning of the Performance Period but prior to the end of the Performance
Period, the Grantee shall vest in the Performance Shares under Section 5 of this
Agreement as if employment had not terminated, subject to (i) the achievement of
the performance measure goals set forth in Appendix A and (ii) a pro rata
reduction equal to the result of multiplying (x) the Performance Shares that
would have become earned at the end of the Performance Period pursuant to
Section 4 of this Agreement had the Grantee remained in employment by (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months of employment
from the beginning of the Performance Period to the date of the Grantee’s
termination of employment, and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36).

For purposes of this Section 6, “Cause” shall mean (i) the Grantee’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of the Grantee’s duties to the
Company and/or a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable, that has or could
reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Company and/or a
Subsidiary or Division, as applicable; (ii) the Grantee’s willful and continued
failure to perform the Grantee’s duties to the Company and/or a Subsidiary or
Division, as applicable, or to follow the lawful directives of the Chief
Executive Officer or Board of Directors (other than as a result of death or
Disability); (iii) the Grantee’s commission of, conviction of, or indictment
for, or pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime
involving moral turpitude; (iv) the Grantee’s performance of any material act of
theft, embezzlement, fraud, malfeasance, dishonesty or misappropriation of the
Company’s or a Subsidiary’s or Divisions’ property; or (v) the Grantee’s willful
and material breach of any agreement with the Company and/or a Subsidiary or
Division, as applicable, or a violation of the Company’s and/or a Subsidiary’s
or Divisions’ code of conduct or other written policy applicable to employees
generally that results in substantial reputational or financial harm to the
Company and/or a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable.

7. Change in Control

(a) Vesting of Performance Shares. In the event of a Change in Control, the
Performance Shares shall be converted into a number of time-based restricted
stock units “RSUs”) equal to the Target Award and shall be assumed or
substituted for by the successor company on substantially the same terms and
conditions (which may include payment in equivalent shares of the common stock
of the successor company) as set forth in this Agreement. The RSUs shall become
fully vested on the last day of the Performance Period, provided that the
Grantee is then employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Division. If within
twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control the Grantee’s employment
is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary or Division without Cause (as
defined in Section 7(c)) or by the Grantee for Good Reason, all of such RSUs
shall immediately become fully vested.

In the event of a Change in Control, to the extent the successor company does
not assume or substitute for the RSUs on substantially the same terms and
conditions (which may include payment in equivalent shares of the common stock
of the successor company) as set forth in this Agreement, all of such RSUs shall
immediately become fully vested, provided the Grantee is then employed by the
Company or a Subsidiary or Division as of the date of the consummation of the
Change in Control.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Payment of RSUs. Payment of RSUs that vest pursuant to the first
sub-paragraph of paragraph (a) of this Section 7 shall be made in Shares (or, if
applicable, in equivalent shares of the common stock of the successor company)
as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) the last day of the
Performance Period or (ii) the date of the termination of employment referred to
in such paragraph. Payment of RSUs that vest pursuant to the second
sub-paragraph of paragraph (a) of this Section 7 shall be made in Shares (or, if
applicable, in equivalent shares of the common stock of the successor company),
as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control. In no event
shall payment under this Section 7(b) be made later than two and one-half
(2-1/2) months after the applicable date.

(c) Cause. For purposes of this Section 7, “Cause” shall mean (i) the Grantee’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of the Grantee’s
duties to the Company and/or a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable, that has
or could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Company and/or
a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable; (ii) the Grantee’s willful and
continued failure to perform the Grantee’s duties to the Company and/or a
Subsidiary or Division, as applicable, or to follow the lawful directives of the
Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors (other than as a result of death
or Disability); (iii) the Grantee’s commission of, conviction of, or pleading of
guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude;
or (iv) the Grantee’s performance of any material act of theft, embezzlement,
fraud, malfeasance, dishonesty or misappropriation of the Company’s or a
Subsidiary’s or Division’s property.

(d) Good Reason. For purposes of this Section 7, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a
material reduction of base salary; (ii) a material and adverse change to, or a
material reduction of, the Grantee’s duties and responsibilities; or (iii) the
relocation of the Grantee’s primary office to any location more than fifty
(50) miles from the Grantee’s then current primary office, resulting in a
materially longer commute for the Grantee.

8. Certain Restrictive Covenants. The Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions
operate in a highly sensitive and competitive commercial environment. As part of
the Grantee’s service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions, the
Grantee has had and will be exposed to highly confidential and sensitive
information regarding the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Divisions’
business operations, including corporate strategy, pricing and other market
information, know-how, trade secrets, and valuable customer, supplier,
distributor, regulatory, advisory and employee relationships. It is critical
that the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions take all necessary steps to
safeguard its legitimate protectable interests in such information and to
prevent any of its competitors or any other persons from obtaining any such
information and the Grantee hereby agrees to be bound by the following
restrictive covenants:

(a) Non-Competition.

 

  (i) During the term of the Grantee’s service with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Divisions and for a period of twenty four (24) months following

Business (as hereinafter defined), (B) enter the employ of, or render any
services to, any person engaged in any Competing Business, (C) acquire a

(D) interfere with the business relationships (whether formed before or after
the date of this Agreement) between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
Divisions and any of its or their customers, suppliers, distributors, advisors,
employees or other business relations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Grantee may, directly or indirectly, own, solely as a passive investment, up to
1% of the securities of any person engaged in a Competing Business provided such
securities are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on
the over-the-counter market.

 

  (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competing Business” shall mean
any business entity anywhere in the world that competes with the Company and/or
any of its Subsidiaries and/or Divisions in the manufacture or distribution of

drive centrifugal, axial and mixed flow vertical turbine line shaft,
submersible, high pressure booster, rotary gear, diaphragm, bellows and
oscillating pump models and/or pump model systems in any one or more of the
following principal market applications: construction, industrial, water and
wastewater handling fields; flood control; boosting low residential water

dewatering purposes; and sprinkler back-up systems, fire hydrants, stand pipes,
fog systems and deluge systems at hotels, banks, factories, airports, schools,
public buildings and other such facilities throughout the world.

 

  (iv) The Grantee understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 8
are intended to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Divisions’
established customer, supplier, distributor, advisor, employee or other business
relations, and the general goodwill of its business, and the Grantee agrees that
such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose.

(b) Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, the Grantee will not,
directly or indirectly, either for himself or herself or on behalf of any other
person, (i) recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any customer, supplier,
distributor, advisor, employee or other business relation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions to terminate its
employment or arrangement with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Divisions, or
otherwise change its relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries or
Divisions, or (ii) hire, or cause to be hired, any person who was employed by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions at any time during the
twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the Grantee’s date of termination
or who thereafter becomes employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
Divisions.

(c) Non-Disparagement. The Grantee agrees not to disparage the Company; its
Subsidiaries or Divisions; any of its or their respective customers, suppliers,
distributors, advisors, employees or directors; any of its or their products or
practices; or any of its or their agents, representatives or affiliates, either
orally or in writing, at any time; provided, that the Grantee may confer in
confidence with the Grantee’s legal representatives and make truthful statements
as required by law.

(d) Confidentiality.

 

  (i) As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all data,
information, ideas, concepts, discoveries, trade secrets, inventions (whether or
not patentable or reduced to practice), innovations, improvements, know-how,
developments, techniques, methods, processes, treatments, drawings, sketches,
specifications, designs, plans, patterns, models, plans and strategies, and all
other confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in any form or
medium (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form
or medium) whether now or hereafter existing, relating to or arising from the
past, current or potential business, activities and/or operations of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions, including, without limitation, any such
information relating to or concerning finances, sales, marketing, advertising,
transition, promotions, pricing, personnel, customers, suppliers, vendors, raw
materials partners and/or competitors. Confidential Information also includes
information developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s employment
by the Company or its Subsidiaries or Divisions, as well as other information to
which the Grantee has had or may have access in connection with the Grantee’s
service. Confidential Information also includes the confidential information of
others with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions have a
business relationship and which is known by the Grantee or which the Grantee
should have reason to know about. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential
Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to
breach of the Grantee’s duties under this Section 8(d).

 

  (ii)

The Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee’s service creates a
relationship of confidence and trust between the Grantee and the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Divisions with respect to all Confidential Information. At all
times, both during the Grantee’s service with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Divisions and after its termination, the Grantee will keep in
confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or
disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Company or its Subsidiaries or Divisions, except as may be necessary in the
ordinary course of performing the Grantee’s duties to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or Divisions or as otherwise required by law.

 

  (iii) All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical
property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are
furnished to the Grantee by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions
or are produced by the Grantee in connection with the Grantee’s service will be
and remain the sole property of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or
Divisions. The Grantee will return to the Company or its Subsidiaries or
Divisions all such materials and property as and when requested by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions. In any event, the Grantee will return
all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Grantee’s
service for any reason, and will not retain any copies thereof following such
termination.

(e) Reasonableness of Covenants. In entering into this Agreement, the Grantee
gives the Company assurance that the Grantee has carefully read and considered
all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints
imposed under this Section 8. The Grantee agrees that these restraints are
necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company, its
Subsidiaries and Divisions, and its and their Confidential Information and that
each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect of subject matter,
length of time and geographic area. The Grantee acknowledges that each of these
covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company
and its Subsidiaries and Divisions and that the Grantee has sufficient assets
and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. The
Grantee further covenants that the Grantee will not challenge the reasonableness
or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 8, and that
the Grantee will reimburse the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and Divisions for
all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any
action to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 8 if either the Company
and/or its Subsidiaries or Divisions prevails in any such dispute. It is also
agreed that each Subsidiary and Division will have the right to enforce all of
the Grantee’s obligations to that Subsidiary or Division under this Agreement,
including without limitation pursuant to this Section 8.

(f) Reformation. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any
state that any restriction in this Section 8 is excessive in duration or scope
or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of
the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to
render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.

(g) Tolling. In the event of any violation of the provisions of this Section 8,
the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictions
contained in this Section 8 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the
period of such violation, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the
running of the applicable post-termination restriction period shall be tolled
during any period of such violation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(h) Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in this Section 8 shall
survive the termination of the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company
and its Subsidiaries and Divisions and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

(i) Equitable Relief and Other Remedies. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees
that the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Divisions’ remedies at law for a
breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 8 would be
inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Grantee agrees that, in the
event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law,
the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions shall be entitled to obtain
equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining
order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which
may then be available, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages
or the posting of a bond or other security. In the event of a material violation
by the Grantee of Section 8 hereof, any value previously delivered to the
Grantee pursuant to this Agreement shall be immediately repaid to the Company.

9. Securities Laws/Legend on Certificates. The issuance and delivery of Shares
shall comply with all applicable requirements of law, including (without
limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the
regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the
Company’s securities may then be traded. If the Company deems it necessary to
ensure that the issuance of Shares under the Plan is not required to be
registered under any applicable securities laws, the Grantee shall deliver to
the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations,
warranties and covenants, as reasonably requested by the Company, which
satisfies such requirements. Any certificates representing the Shares shall be
subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may
deem reasonably advisable, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be
put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

10. Beneficiary. In the event of the Grantee’s death prior to payment of the
vested Performance Shares credited to the Account, payment shall be made to the
last beneficiary designated in writing that is received by the Company prior to
the Grantee’s death or, if no designated beneficiary survives the Grantee, such
payment shall be made to the Grantee’s estate.

11. Source of Payments. The Grantee’s right to receive payment under this
Agreement shall be an unfunded entitlement and shall be an unsecured claim
against the general assets of the Company. The Grantee has only the status of a
general unsecured creditor hereunder, and this Agreement constitutes only a
promise by the Company to pay the value of the Account on the payment date in
accordance with the other terms of this Agreement.

12. Nontransferability. Except as otherwise permitted under the Plan and/or
Section 10 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be assignable or
transferable by the Grantee or by the Company (other than to successors of the
Company or as a result of a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets)
and no amounts payable under this Agreement, or any rights therein, shall be
subject in any manner to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, levy, lien, attachment, garnishment, debt or
other charge or disposition of any kind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13. Withholding. The Grantee agrees to pay to the Company, or to make
satisfactory arrangement with the Company for payment of, any federal, state or
local taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld in respect of payment of the
Performance Shares. The Grantee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from
the Grantee’s wages or other remuneration the applicable taxes. Unless the
Committee determines otherwise, the applicable taxes shall be withheld in kind
from the Shares deliverable to the Grantee in payment of the Performance Shares.

14. Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in

and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio, other than
its conflict of laws principles. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18. Agreement Not a Contract. This Agreement (and the grant of Performance
Shares) is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the Grantee’s
part to continue as an Employee, or of the Company or a Subsidiary or Division
to continue the Grantee’s service as an Employee.

19. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be
modified except as provided in the Plan or in a written document executed by
both parties.

20. Repayment Obligation. In the event that (i) the Company issues a restatement
of financial results to correct a material error and (ii) the Committee
determines, in good faith, that the Grantee’s fraud or willful misconduct was a
significant contributing factor to the need to issue such restatement and
(iii) some or all of the Performance Shares that were granted and/or earned
during the three year period prior to such restatement would not have been
granted and/or earned, as applicable, based upon the restated financial results,
the Grantee shall immediately return to the Company (as applicable) any
outstanding Performance Shares, any Shares received under this Agreement and/or
the pre-tax income derived from any disposition of any Shares previously
received in payment of the Performance Shares that would not have been granted
and/or earned based upon the restated financial results (the “Repayment
Obligation”). This Repayment Obligation shall be in addition to any compensation
recovery policy that is adopted by the Company or is otherwise required by
applicable law.

21. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to
comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder and shall be
construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements
for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In
addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or
advisable, in its sole discretion and without the Grantee’s consent, to comply
with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or
income recognition under Section 409A in connection with this Award.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the
payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of
the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of
any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the
Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any
proposed, temporary or final Treasury regulations and Internal Revenue Service
guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

22. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held unlawful or
otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such provision shall (i) be deemed limited to the extent that such
court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as
so limited shall remain in full force and effect, and (ii) not affect any other
provision of this Agreement or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full
force and effect.

23. Fractional Shares. To the extent there are any fractional Shares owed under
this Agreement to the Grantee, such fractional shares shall be cancelled.

Performance Measure Goals

The performance measures for this Target Award are compound annual growth (CAGR)
goals for The Gorman-Rupp Company’s audited consolidated Operating Income and
Shareholders’ Equity over a three-year period from January 1, 2015 through
December 31, 2017 (the “Performance Period”). These performance measure goals
are shown in the table below and each performance measure goal contributes 50%
of the total Target Award determination.

In determining whether the performance measure goals have been achieved, the
Compensation Committee has determined that it will exclude the impact of any of
the following which are material and non-budgeted: acquisitions and
dispositions, extraordinary items, litigation expenses and settlements, other
unusual or non-recurring charges (as discussed in management’s discussion and
analysis in the Company’s Form 10-K for that year), force majeure events,
foreign exchange gains and losses, goodwill or long-lived asset impairment
and/or the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes in accordance with
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Performance Shares Earned

Depending on the Company’s level of achievement of the performance measure
goals, the Grantee may earn between 0% and 150% of the Performance Shares. The
minimum (threshold) earned payment will be 50% of the Performance Shares. (If
less than 50% of both performance measure goals are not achieved, then no
Performance Shares will be earned.) The maximum earned payment will be 150% of
the Performance Shares.

Payment amounts will be earned on a straight-line interpolated basis between 50%
and 100%, and between 100% and 150%, based on achievement of the respective
three-year growth goals for Operating Income and Shareholders’ Equity as noted
in the table above. The two respective goal achievement amounts added together
equal Grantee’s total achieved Performance Shares less an estimated amount of
Shares to pay Grantee’s related income taxes. The net number of Performance
Shares earned will be paid to Grantee by the issuance of an equal number of
actual common shares of The Gorman-Rupp Company on or about March 1, 2018.
