INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT WITH VESTING PROVISIONS





THIS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated the _____ day of _____________ (the “Grant Date”), is granted by Manitowoc Foodservice, Inc. (the “Company”) to [______________________] (the “Optionee”) pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).


WHEREAS , the Company believes it to be in the best interests of the Company, its subsidiaries and its shareholders for its officers and other key employees, consultants, or advisors to obtain or increase their stock ownership interest in the Company so that they will have a greater incentive to work for and manage the Company’s affairs in such a way that its shares may become more valuable; and


WHEREAS , the Optionee is employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries as an officer or other key employee and has been selected by the Committee to receive an option.


NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and of the services to be performed by the Optionee, the Company and the Optionee hereby agree as follows:


1. Option Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company grants to the Optionee an option to purchase a total of [______] shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of [______] per share (100% of the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of grant) . This option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given in the Plan.


2. Vesting and Exercise . Subject to the termination provisions set forth in the Plan, provided that the Optionee is an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries on the vesting date, the option will vest and become exercisable in accordance with the following schedule:


[Schedule to be inserted by Committee at time of grant.]


If the Optionee takes an unpaid leave of absence, then the Committee may defer the dates on which the Optionee may first purchase the option shares to take into account such leave of absence.


3. Termination of Employment or Service . Upon any termination of employment or service, the Optionee’s right to exercise this option and the termination of this option shall be determined as provided in the Plan; provided that, to the extent the Optionee exercises this option after the date that is three (3) months after the date of Optionee’s termination of employment from the Company and its subsidiaries (other than as a result of permanent and total disability as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)) in accordance with such provisions, this option shall be considered a non-qualified stock option; and provided further that this option will in any event terminate no later than ten (10) years from the Grant Date. The Company disclaims any obligation to provide notice to any person who has the right to exercise this option of circumstances triggering termination of this option.


4. Exercise Procedures .


(a) The Optionee may exercise this option in whole or in part only with respect to any shares for which the right to exercise shall have accrued pursuant to paragraph 2 and only so long as this option has not terminated as set forth in paragraph 3 and the Plan.


(b) This option may be exercised by delivering a written notice of option exercise to the Company’s Human Resources Department (or its delegate), accompanied by payment of the purchase price and such additional amount (if any) determined by the Human Resources Department as necessary to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations, and such other documents or representations as the Company may reasonably request to comply with securities, tax or other laws then applicable to the exercise of the option. Delivery may be made in person, by nationally-recognized delivery service that guarantees overnight delivery, or by facsimile. A notice of option exercise that is received by the Human Resources Department after 11:59 P.M. (Central Time) on the date of the option’s termination (as provided in paragraph 3 and the Plan) shall be null and void.


(c) No Option Shares shall be issued until full payment of the purchase price therefor has been made. The Optionee may pay the purchase price in one or more of the following forms:


(i) a check payable to the order of the Company for the purchase price of the shares being purchased; or


(ii) delivery of shares of Common Stock (including by attestation) that the Optionee has owned for at least six (6) months and that have a Fair Market Value (determined on the date of delivery) equal to the purchase price of the shares being purchased; or


(iii) delivery (including by facsimile) to the Human Resources Department of the Company, of an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions, in a form acceptable to the Company, to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a sufficient portion of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this option and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the

Company to pay for the exercise price.


(d) The Optionee may satisfy any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising from the exercise of this option, in whole or in part, by paying such tax obligation in cash or by check made payable to the Company, or by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the amount required to be withheld, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt. In any event, the Company reserves the right to withhold from any compensation otherwise payable to the Optionee such amount as the Company determines is necessary to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of this option.


5. Transferability; Death .


(a) Except as provided in paragraph 5(c), the Optionee may not transfer this option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and only the Optionee may exercise this option during his or her lifetime. However, if the Committee determines that the Optionee is unable to exercise this option as a result of incapacity or Disability, then the Committee may permit the Optionee’s guardian or an individual who has obtained an appropriate power of attorney to exercise this option on behalf of the Optionee. In such an event, neither the Committee nor the Company will be liable for any losses resulting from such exercise or from the disposition of shares acquired upon such exercise.


(b) If the Optionee dies while this option is outstanding, then the Optionee’s estate or the person to whom this option passes by will or the laws of descent and distribution may exercise this option in the manner described in paragraph 4, but only within the period described in paragraph 3.


(c) Following any transfer (whether voluntarily or pursuant to will or the law of descent and distribution) under this paragraph 5, this option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to such transfer, provided that for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Optionee” as used in paragraphs 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, and any restrictions or obligations in the Plan applicable to optionholders, shall be deemed to refer or apply to the transferee.


6. Registration; Transfer Restrictions .

The Optionee shall have no interest in shares covered by this option until certificates for the shares are issued. Upon and after such issuance, the Shares may not be sold or offered for sale except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or in a transaction, which in the opinion of counsel for the Company, is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act.
