Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee, which has responsibility for administering the Plan, has determined that it is in the interest of the Company and its Stockholders to make the awards described in this Agreement in order to increase Participant’s personal interest in the continued success and progress of the Company, to foster and enhance the long-term profitability of the Company for the benefit of its Stockholders by offering the incentive of long-term rewards, and to encourage Participant to remain in the employ of LII.

2.    Restrictions on Transfer.  Subject to Section 15 of the Plan, neither the awards evidenced hereby nor any interest therein or in the Common Shares underlying such awards shall be transferable prior to settlement other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.

    4                 










(b)    Other Payment Events.  Notwithstanding Section 5(a), to the extent the PSUs are vested (and have not previously been settled) as a result of Section 4(e) in connection with Participant’s death or Disability, or as a result of Section 4(f) in connection with a Change in Control, such vested PSUs will be settled by issuing to Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary) one Common Share for each such vested PSU no later than the 15th day of the third month after the date of such vesting event.


6.    RSU Payment Timing.  


(a)    General.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(b), vested RSUs will be paid within 30 days following the RSU Vesting Date.  Vested RSUs will be paid in the form of one Common Share for each vested RSU.


(b)    Other Payment Events.  Notwithstanding Section 6(a), to the extent that the RSUs are vested on the dates set forth below, payment with respect to the RSUs will be made as follows:


(i)    to the extent the RSUs are vested (and have not previously been settled) as a result of Section 4(e) in connection with Participant’s death or Disability, or as a result of Section 4(f) in connection with a Change in Control, such vested RSUs will be settled by issuing to Participant (or Participant’s beneficiary) one Common Share for each such vested RSU within 60 days after the date of such vesting event; but


(ii)    notwithstanding Section 6(b)(i), if Section 409A of the Code applies to the RSU Award and settlement is triggered (A) by Disability and such Disability does not constitute “disability” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code or (B) by a Change in Control and such Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(A)(v) of the Code, then payment of the RSUs will be made within 60 days after the earliest to occur of (w) the RSU Vesting Date, (x) Participant’s death, (y) Participant’s “disability” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code (“409A Disability”), or (z) the occurrence of a Change in Control that constitutes a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code (a “409A Change in Control”);

(iv)    in no event shall Participant be permitted to designate the taxable year of payment for the RSUs.


7.    Exercise of SARs and SARs Payment Timing.  Vested SARs may be exercised in whole or part at any time until expiration, unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Agreement.  Within 30 days of the date of exercise, the Company will deliver to Participant for each vested SAR that is being exercised (“Exercised SAR”) a number of Common Shares equal in value to the excess (if any) of the Exercise Date Value over the Base Price of the SAR; provided that the aggregate number of Common Shares so determined for all Exercised SARs covered by such exercise will be rounded to the nearest whole Common Share.  If on the last day of the SAR Exercise Period (or, if earlier, the last day of the 90-day period following termination, if Section 4(b) applies) (i) the fair market value of a Common Share exceeds the Base Price of the SAR, (ii) Participant has not exercised the vested SARs, and (iii) the SAR Award has not otherwise been cancelled, then the vested SARs will be deemed to have been exercised by Participant as of such day, and the Company will settle the Exercised SARs in accordance with this Section 7.


8.    Withholding for Taxes.  To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other amounts in connection with the delivery to Participant of Common Shares or any other payment to Participant or any other payment or vesting event under this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to make any such delivery or payment that Participant make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes or other amounts required to be withheld.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such withholding requirement shall be satisfied by retention by the Company of a portion of the Common Shares to be delivered to Participant.  The shares so retained shall be credited against such withholding requirement at the fair market value of such Common Shares on the date the applicable benefit is to be included in Participant’s income.  In no event will the fair market value of the Common Shares to be withheld and/or delivered pursuant to this Section 8 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.


9.    Adjustments.  The number of Common Shares subject to each award granted hereunder and the other terms and conditions of the grants evidenced by this Agreement are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.


10.    Nonsolicitation Obligations.  For one year following the effective date of Participant’s termination of employment with LII (the “Termination Date”), Participant will not, directly or indirectly solicit, recruit or hire any person who is an LII employee as of the Termination Date.

11.    No Stockholder Rights. Participant will not be deemed for any purpose, including voting rights and dividends or dividend equivalents, to be, or to have any of the rights of, a Stockholder with respect to any Common Shares as to which the PSU Award, the RSU Award or the SAR Award relate until such shares are issued or transferred to Participant by the Company.  The existence of this Agreement will not affect the right or power of LII or its Stockholders to accomplish any corporate act.


12.    Restrictions Imposed by Law.

LII will not be obligated to take any affirmative action to cause the delivery of Common Shares to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.


13.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and the Plan comply with or be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force or effect until amended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of Participant).

SCHEDULE A


Performance Goals
PSU Performance Period:  January 1, 20__ – December 31, 20__


1.    Overview.  The actual number of Common Shares delivered to the Participant in settlement of the PSUs earned under the Long-Term Incentive Award Agreement between the Company and Participant (the “Agreement”) will be determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion following the end of the PSU Performance Period based on actual performance results against the performance goals described below, subject to Section 4 of the Agreement.  Any PSUs not earned will be canceled and forfeited.  Capitalized terms used in this Statement of Performance Goals that are not specifically defined in this Statement of Performance Goals have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.  


2.    Metrics.  50% of the PSU Award will be earned based upon achievement of Company core net income compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the three year PSU Performance Period (“Core Net Income”), and 50% of the PSU Award will be earned based upon achievement of Company weighted average return on invested capital over the three year PSU Performance Period with the lowest year return on invested capital weighted 20% and the remaining years each weighted 40% (“ROIC”).


3.    Performance Matrix.  From 0% to 200% of the PSUs will be earned based on achievement of the Core Net Income and ROIC performance goals during the PSU Performance Period as follows:


												
	PSU Award – Performance Goals
	Performance Level	Threshold	Target	Maximum
	Percentage of PSUs Earned	50%	100%	200%
	Core Net Income CAGR	[__]%	[__]%	[__]%
	ROIC Weighted Average	[__]%	[__]%	[__]%




If Core Net Income or ROIC for the PSU Performance Period falls between two performance levels set forth in the performance matrix above, the number of PSUs earned with respect to such performance metric will be determined based on straight-line mathematical interpolation (rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs).  If Core Net Income or ROIC for the PSU Performance Period falls below the “Threshold” level set forth in the performance matrix above, no PSUs shall become earned with respect to that metric.

This proviso shall also apply to any corresponding definition of Cause in your employment agreement or any related agreements.
Termination Date.  Section 4(g) of the Agreement (or Section 4(f), if the Agreement only evidences a grant of RSUs) is revised in its entirety to read as follows:
    “[(f)/(g)]    For purposes of this Agreement, “terminate” means the later of: (i) the date that Participant actually ceases to perform services for the Company or a subsidiary or an affiliate, as recorded by the Company or its subsidiary, as applicable; and (ii) the last day of the period during which Participant is entitled to notice of termination under applicable minimum employment standards legislation (the “Termination Date”).  For greater certainty, the Termination Date shall be determined without reference to any statutory severance or any contractual or common law notice of termination of which Participant is in receipt or may be eligible to receive at common law, pursuant to a contract, or otherwise; and no grants or damages in lieu thereof are payable with respect to any applicable statutory severance period or contractual or common law notice period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Participant receive less under the Agreement than that required by applicable minimum employment standards legislation.  The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates reserve the right to terminate the employment of any person, regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on entitlements under the Agreement. Participant hereby waives, and irrevocably releases the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates from, any claim or entitlement to compensation or damages that may arise from any forfeiture of the award or awards evidenced hereunder as a result of the cessation of vesting on the Termination Date.”
Acknowledgement.  By accepting the Award(s) subject to the Agreement through the Fidelity web portal (or its successor), you declare that you expressly agree with the provisions regarding termination of employment described in the Plan, the Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 4 thereof) and the special terms and conditions set forth in this Appendix.

Additional Restrictions on Resale.  In addition to the restrictions on resale and transfer noted in Plan materials, securities purchased under the Plan may be subject to certain restrictions on resale imposed by Canadian provincial securities laws.  You are encouraged to seek legal advice prior to any resale of such securities.  In general, participants resident in Canada may resell their securities in transactions carried out on exchanges outside of Canada and, in particular, you are generally permitted to sell shares acquired pursuant to the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the Company is a foreign issuer that is not public in Canada and the sale of the shares acquired pursuant to the Plan takes place: (i) through an exchange, or a market, outside of Canada, on the distribution date; or (ii) to a person or company outside of Canada.  For purposes hereof, a foreign issuer is an issuer that: (a) is not incorporated or existing pursuant to the laws of Canada or any jurisdiction of Canada; (b) does not have its head office in Canada; and (c) does not have a majority of its executive officers or directors ordinarily in Canada.
Form of Payment.  Due to legal restrictions in Canada and notwithstanding any language to the contrary in the Plan, grantees are prohibited from surrendering shares that they already own or from attesting to the ownership of shares to pay any tax withholding in connection with the Award(s) granted.  Any tax withholding must be paid in cash or by check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, by a combination of such methods of payment, or by such other methods as may be approved by the Board.


Tax Reporting.  The Tax Act and the regulations thereunder require a Canadian resident individual (among others) to file an information return disclosing prescribed information where, at any time in a tax year, the total cost amount of such individual’s “specified foreign property” (which includes shares and options) exceeds Cdn.$100,000.  You should consult your own tax advisor regarding this reporting requirement.

Tax Reporting.  If you hold assets (e.g., cash or shares in a bank or brokerage account) or rights outside Spain that exceed €50,000 per type of asset, you must file a Form 720 with the Spanish Tax Authorities by March 31st of each year.

Lennox International Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan
(Adopted May 23, 2019)




Important Information
Introduction

Eligible employees of Lennox International Inc. (the “Company”) and its worldwide affiliates have the opportunity to participate in the Lennox International Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended and restated from time to time) (the “2019 Plan”) to obtain rights to shares of the Company’s common stock.  Under the 2019 Plan, such employees may be granted, among other awards, the following awards: stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that give them the right to receive a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise and the satisfaction of vesting and other requirements, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that will enable them to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, upon the satisfaction of vesting and other requirements, and/or performance share units (“PSUs”) that will enable them to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, upon the achievement of continued employment and specified performance objectives.
This summary provides details with respect to the 2019 Plan.
Identification of the Issuer

The issuer of the common stock that is offered under the 2019 Plan is Lennox International Inc., a Delaware corporation, whose common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “LII.”  The Company’s address is 2140 Lake Park Boulevard, Texas, 75080 U.S.A. Additional information on the Company can be found on its website at www.lennoxinternational.com. 


Stockholder disclosure made by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is available on the SEC website (www.sec.gov). Employees may review copies of the filings at https://www.lennoxinternational.com/home/InvestorRelations/SECFilings.html or the SEC website at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=1069202&owner=exclude.
Reasons for the Offer
The purposes of offers made under the 2019 Plan are to permit award grants to non-employee directors, officers, and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and certain consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries, and to provide to such persons incentives and rewards for service and/or performance.
    28                     










Exemption from the Prospectus Regulation
To the extent offers of SARs, RSUs, PSUs and other rights under the 2019 Plan are offers of securities to the public, the Company is exempt from an obligation to publish a prospectus which meets the requirements set forth in Regulation 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 (the “Prospectus Regulation”).  The Prospectus Regulation exempts offers made in the context of an employee share scheme within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) from the obligation to publish a prospectus if the securities are offered to existing or former directors or employees by their employer and certain other conditions are met, including the availability of a short-form disclosure document (the “Employee Share Scheme Exemption”).  Accordingly, in reliance on the Employee Share Scheme Exemption, the Company has not prepared or filed a prospectus with any competent regulatory authority in the EEA in relation to offers made under the 2019 Plan and no such prospectus has been published in the EEA. 
This document does not constitute a prospectus.  Instead, this document contains the information that an issuer must make available to its employees when relying on the Employee Share Scheme Exemption.
Details of the Offer
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee (“Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for administering the 2019 Plan.  The Committee is authorized to interpret the 2019 Plan and to provide for special terms for any SARs, RSUs, PSUs or other awards granted to employees who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries outside of the United States or who provide services to the Company or any subsidiary under an agreement with a foreign nation or agency.  Currently, the Company is granting only SARs, RSUs and PSUs outside of the United States.  As a result, the details of the offer of SARs, RSUs and PSUs may vary slightly between countries to reflect any special terms or sub-plans adopted by the Committee, as will be set forth in the grant materials provided to employees.  
Addressees of the Offer
The offer of SARs, RSUs and PSUs under the 2019 Plan will be made to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, who are eligible to receive awards under the terms of the 2019 Plan and who are selected by the Committee.
Time Frame of the Offer
Periodically, the Company will offer awards, including SARs, RSUs and PSUs under the 2019 Plan, to eligible employees who have been selected by the Committee.  Any employee receiving an award will be provided with a written grant agreement detailing the terms and conditions of the grant.  Employees granted SARs, RSUs and PSUs (“Participants”) who remain in the continuous employ of the Company or one of its subsidiaries may generally exercise their SARs and vest in their RSUs or PSUs, thereby acquiring Company common stock after the end of a 
    29                     








vesting period that, for SARs and RSUs, will be no less than one year from the date the SARs or RSUs were granted, and, for PSUs, will be no shorter than a one-year performance period, unless certain exceptions apply.   All SARs must be exercised prior to the seventh anniversary of the date they were granted.


Minimum and Maximum Amount of Offers
The number of shares subject to SARs will be set out in an award agreement that is provided to employees who receive an offer of SARs under the 2019 Plan. There is no minimum number of shares that must be granted under an SAR award nor any maximum number of shares that could be granted.  At the time a Participant exercises SARs, the SARs may be exercised for all or part of the number of shares of common stock covered by the SARs.
The number of shares subject to an RSU or PSU award will be set out in an award  agreement that is provided to employees who receive an offer of RSUs or PSUs under the 2019 Plan. There is no minimum number of shares that must be granted under an RSU or PSU award nor any maximum number of shares that could be granted.


The aggregate number of SAR, RSU and PSU awards, along with other awards, that may be granted during the life of the 2019 Plan may not exceed 1,454,000 shares, minus the number of shares subject to awards granted between December 31, 2018 and May 23, 2019 under the Company’s 2010 equity plan.
Nature of the Offer
SARs granted under the 2019 Plan give the Participant the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed Base Price (as defined below). The SARs may be exercised once a vesting period of at least one year is satisfied. During the vesting period, the Participant must remain in the continuous employ of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, although certain exceptions are made in the event the Participant’s employment is terminated due to death, disability or the occurrence of a change in control.  Once an SAR is vested, it may be exercised by the Participant until the seventh anniversary of the date of grant (including following retirement), unless the Participant’s employment is terminated due to a voluntary termination, a termination without cause by the Company, or a termination that occurs for any reason within one year following a change in control, in which case the vested SARs may be exercised by the Participant until the earlier of the seventh anniversary of the date of grant and 90 days following the Participant’s termination of employment.  


An RSU or PSU granted under the 2019 Plan represents the Company’s unsecured promise to issue one share of the Company’s common stock to the Participant upon satisfying continued employment requirements (in the case of an RSU) and satisfying both continued employment requirements and performance goals (in the case of a PSU).  During the RSU or PSU vesting period, the Participant must remain in the continuous employ of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, although certain exceptions are made in the event the Participant’s employment is terminated due to death, disability or retirement or in the event of a change in control. 
    30                     








Participants are not eligible to receive dividend equivalents with respect to their RSUs or PSUs.  Please consult the actual terms and conditions included in the relevant RSU or PSU grant materials for further details about the awards. Participants will not be required to pay any consideration to receive the shares issuable once an RSU or PSU is vested.


An SAR, RSU or PSU may not be transferred and may be exercised by or vest in the Participant only, unless a transfer has been permitted by the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company. Generally, the Participant may freely transfer the shares of the Company’s common stock acquired upon exercise of the SARs or vesting of the RSUs and PSUs; however, the Committee may impose such restrictions on any such shares as it deems advisable, including minimum holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable securities laws, or under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such shares are then listed and/or traded.
Further, SARs, RSUs and PSUs are granted to Participants in the sole discretion of the Company.  No employee shall have the right to be selected to receive an SAR, RSU, PSU or any other award under the 2019 Plan or, having been so selected, to receive a future SAR, RSU or PSU. SARs RSUs and PSUs are granted by the Company, and none of the awards create an employment contract nor constitute any part of a Participant’s employment contract with the Company or any affiliate of the Company.
Base Price


The price of each share of the Company’s common stock subject to an SAR (the “Base Price”) will be fixed by the Committee at the time the SAR is granted. The Base Price will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date that the SARs are granted. The Base Price may be adjusted in the event of a reorganization or change in capitalization of the Company, as set forth in Section 11 of the 2019 Plan.  Information on the current fair market value of the Company’s shares can be found on the Company website at www.lennoxinternational.com/home/InvestorRelations.


Participants will not be required to pay any cash consideration to receive shares upon exercise of the SARs or vesting of the RSUs and PSUs.
Termination, Suspension or Amendment of the Plan
The Company may at any time repeal the 2019 Plan or amend it within the limits set forth in the 2019 Plan.
Number and Nature of the Securities Offered
SARs, RSUs and PSUs over shares of the Company’s common stock will not be granted in excess of the available share limitations set forth in Section 3 of the 2019 Plan. A total of approximately 1,454,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the 2019 Plan (minus any shares subject to awards granted between December 31, 2018 and May 23, 2019 under the Company’s 2010 equity plan), subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganization or 
    31                     








change in capitalization of the Company, as described in Section 11 of the 2019 Plan. The shares that are offered are shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01.
The shares are principally traded on the NYSE. 


Summary of the Rights Attached to the Shares
The shares delivered to Participants upon exercise of SARs and at or following the vesting of RSUs and PSUs granted under the 2019 Plan are shares of common stock in the Company, which will allow Participants to participate in dividends, to the extent dividends are declared by the Company, and to vote at the Company’s general meetings where each of his or her shares will count as one vote.
