The number of Shares that the Grantee will vest in will be determined based on the conditions and Performance Measures contained in Paragraph 2.  Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan, the Grantee will have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to the Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock.

 

2.              Vesting and Expiration of Restricted Period.

 

(a)         For purposes of this Agreement, the “Performance Period” shall be the three-year period beginning on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2020.

 

(b)         The Restricted Stock is subject to forfeiture until it vests.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, the Restricted Stock will vest and the Restricted Period will expire on the last day of the Performance Period, subject to the Grantee’s continuous service to the Company from the Grant Date through the last day of the Performance Period.

 

(c)          The percentage of Restricted Stock that will actually vest will range from 0% to 200% and be based, in equal parts, on the achievement of the following Performance Measures:

 











 

i.                  Total shareholder return over the Performance Period as compared to the Company’s Peer Group, as determined pursuant to Exhibit A attached hereto; and

 

ii.               Free Cash Flow as Percentage of Revenue, as determined pursuant to Exhibit B attached hereto.

 

(d)         Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine in its sole discretion and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Measures were achieved for the Performance Period ( “Actual Performance”).  Based on Actual Performance, the Committee will then calculate and certify in writing the percentage of the Restricted Stock that the Grantee will vest in (the “Actual Award”).  Any Restricted Stock outstanding and unvested at the end of the Performance Period will be forfeited.  The determination of Actual Performance will be in the sole discretion of the Committee and will be final, conclusive, binding and unappealable.

 

(e)          Except as otherwise provided herein, upon vesting, the restrictions set forth in the Plan or in this Award Agreement will be of no further force or effect with respect to vested Restricted Stock.

 

3.              Delivery.  The Shares underlying the Restricted Stock will be held by the Company in the Grantee’s name and will be delivered promptly following the date on which the Restricted Stock vests.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Retirement” means Termination on or after the date when the Grantee has attained age 62.

 

8.              Clawback Policy/Recoupment.

EXHIBIT A

TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN

 

The achievement of relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) over the Performance Period will be given 50% weighting in the determination of Actual Performance.

 

The Company’s peer group is as set forth below and subject to the following adjustments and other adjustments that may be made by the Company from time to time (the “Peer Group”): (i) Any company that ceases to be publicly traded on or before December 31, 2020 for any reason other than liquidation or Chapter 11 reorganization will be excluded from the peer group. (ii) Any company that ceases to be publicly traded on or before December 31, 2020 due to liquidation or Chapter 11 reorganization will be deemed to be in “last place” for purposes of calculating TSR.

 

	
Peer Group
    
	
Arconic Inc. (ARNC)
    	
 
    	
Moog Inc. (MOG.A)
    
	
BorgWarner Inc. (BWA)
    	
 
    	
Parker-Hannifin Corporation (PH)
    
	
Curtiss-Wright Corporation (CW)
    	
 
    	
Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL)
    
	
Esterline Technologies Corporation (ESL
    	
 
    	
Teledyne Technologies (TDY)
    
	
Harris Corporation (HRS)
    	
 
    	
Tenneco Inc. (TEN)
    
	
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (HII)
    	
 
    	
Terex Corp. (TEX)
    
	
Ingersoll-Rand PLC (IR)
    	
 
    	
Textron Inc. (TXT)
    
	
L-3 Communications Holdings (LLL)
    	
 
    	
Triumph Group, Inc. (TGI)
    


 

TSR over the Performance Period will be calculated on a cumulative basis using dividend-adjusted closing prices under the following formula:  (A) / (B) — 1, where: (A) equals the 20-trading-day average share price for the period ending December 31, 2020, and (B) equals the 20-trading-day average share price for the period ending December 31, 2019.

 

The percentage of Restricted Stock that will vest based on TSR is as follows:

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Threshold
    	
 
    	
Target
    	
 
    	
Maximum
    
	
The Company’s rank   among Peer Group
    	
 
    	
25th percentile
    	
 
    	
50th percentile
    	
 
    	
90th percentile
    
	
Percentage of   Restricted Stock that will vest
    	
 
    	
25%
    	
 
    	
100%
    	
 
    	
200%
    


 

If the calculated TSR falls between two percentiles, the Actual Award will be interpolated accordingly, using the “percentrank” function within Excel. For example, if the calculated TSR falls in the 70th percentile relative to the peer group, the associated award will be halfway between the target award and the maximum award for this performance goal. If the calculated TSR falls below the 25th percentile, no percentage of the Restricted Stock will vest for this Performance Measure.

EXHIBIT B

FREE CASH FLOW AS A PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE

 

The achievement of Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Revenue (the “FCF %”) over the Performance Period will be given a 50% weighting in the determination of Actual Performance.

 

The FCF % will be calculated on a cumulative basis over the Performance Period, by dividing Company’s total Free Cash Flow over the Performance Period by the Company’s total revenue over the Performance Period.

 

The percentage of Restricted Stock that will vest based on FCF as % of Revenue is as follows:

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Threshold
    	
 
    	
Target
    	
 
    	
Maximum
    
	
FCF %
    	
 
    	
7.0%
    	
 
    	
7.75%
    	
 
    	
9.0%
    
	
Percentage of   Restricted Stock that will vest
    	
 
    	
25%
    	
 
    	
100%
    	
 
    	
200%
    


 

If the calculated FCF % falls between two percentage levels, the Actual Award will be interpolated accordingly, using the “percentrank” function within Excel.  For example, if the calculated percentage is 8.375%, the associated award will be halfway between the target award and the maximum award for this performance goal. If the calculated FCF as % of Revenue falls below 7.0%, no percentage of the Restricted Stock will vest for this Performance Measure.
