 Exhibit 10.1 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) effective as of June 12, 2018 by and between Chart
Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) and Jillian C. Evanko (the “Executive amends and restates the Employment Agreement between Executive and the Company, dated February 13, 2017 (the “Original Employment Agreement”). 

WHEREAS, Executive formerly served as the Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer of the Company
pursuant to her original Employment Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors elected Executive, effective as of June 12, 2018 (the
“Promotion Date”) to the position of Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, with Executive continuing to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company on an interim basis; and 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company desire to amend the Original Employment Agreement to reflect revised terms in connection with her new
position. 
 In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree
to amend and restate the Original Employment Agreement as follows: 
 1. Term of Employment. Subject to the provisions of
Section 8 of this Agreement, Executive shall be employed by the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Promotion Date, and ending on the second anniversary of said date
(the “Employment Term”). Thereafter the Employment Term shall automatically be extended on June 12 of each year for a period of one year from such date. In addition, in the event of a Change in Control, the Employment Term shall
automatically be extended for a period of three years beginning on the date of the Change in Control and ending on the third anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (unless further extended under the immediately preceding sentence). The
Company or Executive may give notice to the other party that the Employment Term shall no longer be extended (the “Non-Renewal Notice”), in which event the Employment Term shall expire on the latest
of: (i) such second anniversary of the original Employment Term commencement date, (ii) such third anniversary of a Change in Control, or (iii) the first anniversary of the delivery of such
Non-Renewal Notice. In any case, the Employment Term may be terminated earlier under the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

2. Position. 
 a.
Title. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. In addition, Executive shall continue to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company on an interim basis until the
Company appoints a new Chief Financial Officer. In such positions, Executive shall have such duties, authority and responsibility as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), which
duties, authority and responsibility are consistent with the position of Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and, as applicable, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. 

  
 1 








 b. Best Efforts. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full
business time and best efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere with the rendition of such
services either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Board; provided that nothing herein shall preclude Executive, subject to the prior approval of the Board, from accepting appointment to or continue to serve on any
board of directors or trustees of any business corporation or any charitable organization; provided in each case, and in the aggregate, that such activities do not conflict or interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or
conflict with Section 10. 
 c. Place of Employment. The Company shall give Executive at least six months’ advance notice
of any proposed relocation of its offices in Ball Ground, Georgia at which Executive’s present principal office is located to a location more than 50 miles from such present location, and, if Executive in Executive’s sole discretion
chooses to relocate Executive’s principal residence as a result of such office relocation, the Company shall promptly pay (or reimburse Executive for) all reasonable relocation expenses (consistent with the Company’s past practice for
similarly situated senior executive officers) incurred by Executive relating to a change of Executive’s principal residence in connection with any such relocation of the Company’s offices from such present location. 

3. Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary at the annual rate of $750,000, payable in
regular installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payment practices. Executive shall be entitled to such increases in Executive’s base salary, if any, as may be determined from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board or
any duly authorized committee thereof. Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary.” 

4. Annual Bonus. With respect to each full fiscal year during the Employment Term (commencing with the 2018 fiscal year), Executive
shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus award (an “Annual Bonus”) of an amount, expressed as a percentage of Executive’s Base Salary, as determined by the Board, or any duly authorized committee thereof, within the first three
months of each fiscal year of the Employment Term (with it being understood that such percentage of Executive’s Base Salary is the “Target”), based upon the achievement of the performance targets established by the Board, or any duly
authorized committee thereof, within the first three months of each fiscal year during the Employment Term and communicated to Executive in writing promptly thereafter. For the 2018 fiscal year, Executive’s Target shall be 100% of
Executive’s Base Salary, and the performance targets shall be communicated in writing to Executive prior to the commencement of the Employment Term. The Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid to Executive within two and one-half (2.5) months after the end of the applicable fiscal year. Any Annual Bonus payable hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan, as currently
in effect and as it may be amended from time to time, including any successor plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”). In the event of a Change In Control as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan, the Annual Bonus may be pro-rated in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan. 

  
 2 








 5. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to
participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans (other than annual bonus and incentive plans) providing for health, life and disability insurance, retirement, deferred compensation and fringe benefits, as well as any equity compensation
plans, as in effect from time to time (collectively “Employee Benefits”), on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other senior executives of the Company. Executive’s right to participate in any Employee
Benefits shall be subject to the applicable eligibility criteria for participation and Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits under, or based on, any Employee Benefits for any purposes of this Agreement if Executive does not during the
Employment Term satisfy the eligibility criteria for participation in such Employee Benefits. Any equity incentive granted, awarded and held by the Executive shall be governed by the applicable terms of any such grant and award, and shall not be
impacted by the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent taken into account in determinations under Section 9. 
 6.
Vacation. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to five (5) weeks of paid vacation and other paid time off benefits in accordance with applicable Company policies, and to be taken at such times as chosen by Executive.

 7. Business Expenses and Perquisites. 

a. Expenses. During the Employment Term, reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s
duties hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Company in accordance with Company policies. 
 b. Perquisites. During the Employment
Term, Executive shall be eligible for an automobile allowance of up to $1,000 per month, consistent with the Company’s current practices. 

8. Termination. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either party at any time and for any
reason; provided that Executive will be required to give the Company at least 60 days advance written notice of any resignation of Executive’s employment. The provisions of this Section 8 govern Executive’s rights upon Termination of
Employment with the Company and its affiliates. “Termination of Employment” as used in this Agreement means the separation from service, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to
time (“Code”, any reference in this Agreement to a Section of the Code shall include all lawful regulations and pronouncements promulgated thereunder, as well as any successor Sections of the Code having the same or similar purpose), of
Executive with the Company and all of its affiliates, for any reason, including without limitation, quit, discharge, or retirement, or a leave of absence (including military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence such as temporary
employment by the government if the period of such leave exceeds the greater of six months, or the period for which Executive’s right to reemployment is provided either by statute or by contract) or permanent decrease in service to a level that
is no more than Twenty Percent (20%) of its prior level. For this purpose, whether a Termination of Employment has occurred is determined based on whether it is reasonably 

  
 3 








 
anticipated that no further services will be performed by Executive after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services Executive will perform after such date (whether as an employee or
as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than Twenty Percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services if Executive has been providing services less than 36 months). The terms “Terminate” or “Terminated,” when used in reference to Executive’s
employment or the Employment Period, shall refer to a Termination of Employment as set forth in this paragraph. “Date of Termination” refers to the effective date of Executive’s Termination of Employment. 

a. Termination By the Company For Cause or By Executive’s Resignation Without Good Reason. 

(i) Events. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined
below) and shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s resignation without Good Reason (as defined in Section 8(c)); provided that Executive will be required to give the Company at least 60 days advance written notice of a resignation
without Good Reason. 
 (ii) For Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Executive’s
(A) willful failure to perform duties which, if curable, is not cured promptly, or in any event within ten (10) days, following the first written notice of such failure from the Company, (B) commission of, or plea of guilty or no
contest to a (x) felony or (y) crime involving moral turpitude, (C) willful malfeasance or misconduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, (D) material breach of the material terms of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, any non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions, (E) commission of any act of gross negligence,
corporate waste, disloyalty or unfaithfulness to the Company which adversely affects the business of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or (F) any other act or course of conduct which will demonstrably have a material adverse effect
on the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate’s business. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s failure to achieve its business plan or projections shall not alone be considered “Cause”. 

(iii) Compensation. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or if Executive resigns without Good
Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive the amounts in clauses (A) through (D) below referred to herein as “Accrued Rights”: 

(A) the Base Salary through the Date of Termination; 

(B) any Annual Bonus earned, but unpaid, as of the Date of Termination for the immediately preceding fiscal year, paid in accordance with
Section 4 (except to the extent payment is otherwise deferred pursuant to any applicable deferred compensation arrangement with the Company); 

(C) reimbursement, within 60 days following submission by Executive to the Company of appropriate supporting documentation, for any
unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Executive in accordance with Company policy prior to the date of Executive’s Termination of Employment; provided claims for such reimbursement (accompanied by appropriate supporting
documentation) are submitted to the Company within 90 days following the date of Executive’s Termination of Employment; and 

  
 4 








 (D) such Employee Benefits, if any, as to which Executive may be entitled under the employee
benefit plans of the Company, including payment for any accrued but unused vacation within 30 days following the date of Executive’s Date of Termination. 

Following such Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause or resignation by Executive without Good Reason, except as set forth in this
Section 8(a)(iii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 b.
Disability or Death. 
 (i) Events. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon
Executive’s death and may be terminated by the Company if Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of six (6) consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine (9) months in any
twenty-four (24) consecutive month period to perform Executive’s duties (such incapacity is hereinafter referred to as “Disability”). In no event shall an Executive’s employment be continued beyond the 29th month of absence
due to Executive’s Disability. Any question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to
Executive and the Company. If Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The
determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement. 

(ii) Compensation. Upon Executive’s Termination of Employment hereunder for either Disability or death, Executive or
Executive’s estate (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive: 
 (A) the Accrued Rights; and 

(B) a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus, if any, that Executive would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4 hereof for
such year based upon the Company’s actual results for the year of termination and the percentage of the fiscal year that shall have elapsed through the Executive’s Date of Termination, payable to Executive pursuant to Section 4 had
Executive’s employment not terminated. 
 Following Executive’s Termination of Employment due to death or Disability, except as
set forth in this Section 8(b)(ii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

  
 5 








 c. Termination by the Company Without Cause or Resignation by Executive for Good Reason.

 (i) Events. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company without Cause or by
Executive’s resignation for Good Reason at any time including during the Protected Period. 
 (ii) Good Reason. For purposes of
this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without Executive’s consent: (i) a material diminution in Executive’s base salary (excluding any general salary reduction similarly affecting substantially all other senior
executives of the Company as a result of a material adverse change in the Company’s prospects or business); (ii) a material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities (including a change in Executive’s reporting
line such that she does not report to the Company’s Board); (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which Executive must perform services; or (iv) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company
of this Agreement; provided, however, that “Good Reason” shall not be deemed to exist unless: (A) the Executive has provided notice to the Company of the existence of one or more of the conditions listed in (i) through (iv)
within 90 days after the initial occurrence of such condition or conditions; and (B) such condition or conditions have not been cured by the Company within 30 days after receipt of such notice. Simply the receipt by the Executive of a Non-Renewal Notice from the Company shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be an event of “Good Reason” under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, when the Company appoints a new Chief Financial
Officer, thereby terminating Executive’s interim term as Chief Financial Officer, such termination shall not constitute a “Good Reason” event. 

(iii) Protected Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Period” shall mean the period of time commencing on the
date of a Change in Control and ending two years after such date. 
 (iv) Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Change in Control” shall mean, with respect to the Executive, the happening of any of the following events (but only if with respect to the Executive, such event would constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the
corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation, as defined under Section 409A of the Code): 

(A) a change in the ownership of the Company (or any affiliate which either employs the Executive or is a direct or indirect parent of such
employer) by which any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company (or such an affiliate) that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than Fifty Percent (50%) of the
total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company (or such an affiliate). However, if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total
voting power of the stock of the Company (or such an affiliate), the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a Change in Control. (An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or
persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company (or such an affiliate) acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this definition. This parenthetical phrase
applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Company (or issuance of stock of the Company) (or such an affiliate) and stock in the Company (or such an affiliate) remains outstanding after the transaction.) 

  
 6 








 (B) a change in effective control of the Company (or any affiliate which either employs the
Executive or is a direct or indirect parent of such employer) by which: 
 (1) any one person, or more than one person
acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the Company (or such an affiliate)
possessing Thirty Percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company (or such an affiliate); or 

(2) a majority of members of the Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month
period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors before the date of the appointment or election. 

(C) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (or any affiliate which either employs the Executive or
is a direct or indirect parent of such employer) by which any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company (or such an affiliate) that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than Forty Percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company (or
such an affiliate) immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any
liabilities associated with such assets. 
 For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are
owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger,
consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation before the transaction giving rise to the
change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. 
 (v) Compensation if Terminated Outside of Protected
Period. If, at any time other than during the Protected Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or if Executive resigns for Good Reason within 6 months of
the condition giving rise to the good reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive: 
 (A) the Accrued Rights; 

(B) subject to Executive’s (x) continued compliance with the provisions of Sections 10 and 11 and (y) execution and delivery
of a general release of claims against the Company and its affiliates in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, payment in one lump sum of: 

(1) 200% of the greater of the current Base Salary or Executive’s highest Base Salary paid within the
Employment Term; plus 

  
 7 








 (2) the greater of (i) 200% of Executive’s Target Annual Bonus for the
fiscal year in which Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs or (ii) 200% of Executive’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs, payable
to Executive in one lump sum immediately following the expiration of the revocation period provided for in such release, but in no event later than two and a half (2-1/2) months after the end of the year in
which the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurred; and 
 (C) continued coverage under the Company’s group health plans
during the twenty-four (24) months following Executive’s Date of Termination on the same basis as active employees of the Company; provided that during any portion of that period beyond eighteen (18) months following Executive’s
Date of Termination, to the extent coverage under the Company’s group health plans is not permissible under the terms of such plans, the Company may, in lieu of providing such coverage, pay Executive an amount equal to the premium subsidy the
Company otherwise would have paid on Executive’s behalf for such coverage during the balance of such period. 
 (vi) Compensation
if Terminated during Protected Period. If, during the Protected Period, either the Executive’s employment is Terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or if Executive resigns for Good Reason,
Executive shall be entitled to receive: 
 (A) the Accrued Rights; 

(B) subject to Executive’s (x) continued compliance with the provisions of Sections 10 and 11 and (y) execution and delivery
of a general release of claims against the Company and its affiliates in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, payment in one lump sum of: 

(1) 300% of the greater of the current Base Salary or Executive’s highest Base Salary paid within the
Employment Term; plus 
 (2) the greater of (i) 300% of Executive’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which
Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs or (ii) 300% of Executive’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs; payable generally within ten (10) business
days after Executive’s Date of Termination, or, if later, upon the expiration of the revocation period provided for in such release, except when such payment is delayed and paid in accordance with Section 9(b) for a determination under
Section 9, but in no event later than two and a half (2-1/2) months after the end of the year in which the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurred; and 

(C) continued coverage under the Company’s group health plans during the thirty-six
(36) months following Executive’s Date of Termination on the same basis as active employees of the Company; provided that during any portion of that period beyond eighteen 

  
 8 








 
(18) months following Executive’s Date of Termination, to the extent coverage under the Company’s group health plans is not permissible under the terms of such plans, the Company
may, in lieu of providing such coverage, pay Executive an amount equal to the premium subsidy the Company otherwise would have paid on Executive’s behalf for such coverage during the balance of such period. 

Following Executive’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of Executive’s death or
Disability) or by Executive’s resignation for Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(c), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

d. Expiration of Employment Term. 

(i) Election Not to Renew the Employment Term. In the event either party provides the other with the
Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1, unless Executive’s employment is earlier terminated pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8, the expiration of the Employment Term
and the Executive’s Termination of Employment hereunder (whether or not Executive continues as an employee of the Company thereafter) shall be deemed to occur on the close of business on the last day of such Employment Term and Executive shall
be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights. The Company’s providing of a Non-Renewal Notice under Section 1 shall not prejudice in any way Executive’s right to assert an event of Good Reason (as
such term is defined above), whether related to such Non-Renewal Notice or otherwise, at any time during the Employment Term. 

Following such termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, except as set forth in this Section 8(d)(i), Executive shall have no
further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (ii) Continued Employment Beyond the Expiration of the
Employment Term. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, continuation of Executive’s employment with the Company beyond the expiration of the Employment Term shall be deemed an employment
at-will and shall not be deemed to extend any of the provisions of this Agreement and Executive’s employment may thereafter be terminated at will by either Executive or the Company; provided that the
provisions of Sections 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement or Executive’s Termination of Employment hereunder. 

e. Notice of Termination. Any purported Termination of Employment by the Company or by Executive (other than due to Executive’s
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 13(i) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Termination of Employment under the provision so indicated. 

f. Board/Committee Resignation. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive agrees to resign, as of the
date of such termination and to the extent applicable, from the Board (and any committees thereof) and the Board of Directors (and any committees thereof) of any of the Company’s affiliates.

 9. Conditional Reduction in Payments. 

a. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that it shall be determined (as hereafter provided) that any
payment or distribution provided for pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of Executive, when aggregated with any other payments or benefits received or receivable by Executive (individually and collectively, a
“Payment”), would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or to any similar tax imposed by state or
local law, or to any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, being hereafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s payments under
Section 8 hereof shall be either: 
 (i) delivered in full, or 

(ii) reduced to the minimum extent necessary so that no portion of the Payment, after such reduction, constitutes an Excess Parachute Payment
(as defined in Section 280G(b) of the Code) (the amount of such reduction shall be referred to as the “Excess Amount”); 
 whichever of the
foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount of benefits,
notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. 
 b. All determinations
required to be made under this Section 9, including whether an Excise Tax is payable by Executive and the amount of such Excise Tax and whether a reduction in the Payment is to be made and the amount of such Excess Amount, if any, shall be made
by a nationally recognized accounting firm proposed by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (which accounting firm shall be the “Accounting Firm” hereunder). The Company or Executive shall direct the Accounting Firm to submit
its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and Executive within 30 calendar days after the Date of Termination, if applicable, and any other time or times as may be requested by the Company or Executive. The Company
shall pay Executive’s payments under Section 8 hereof, as reduced or not reduced pursuant to the final determination of the Accounting Firm and Subsection 9(a) above, no later than the time otherwise required hereunder. If the Accounting
Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish the Company and Executive an opinion that Executive has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on
Executive’s federal, state or local income or other tax return. 
 c. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Section 4999 of the Code and the possibility of similar uncertainty regarding applicable state or local tax law at the time of any determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that, pursuant to a final determination of a court
or an Internal Revenue Service proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved, an Excess Parachute Payment was received by Executive which would have been intended to be reduced by the Excess Amount pursuant to Subsection 9(a) above. In
such 

  
 10 








 
case, then such amount received by Executive shall be deemed to be an overpayment, and Executive shall repay the amount equal to the Excess Amount (to the extent received by Executive) to the
Company on demand (but no less than ten days after Executive receives written demand). 
 d. The Company and Executive shall each provide
the Accounting Firm access to and copies of any books, records and documents in the possession of the Company or Executive, as the case may be, reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in
connection with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by Subsection 9(b). Any determination by the Accounting Firm as to the amount of any Excess Amount shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. 

e. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by
Subsection 9(b) shall be borne by the Company. 
 10. Non-Competition. 

a. Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its affiliates and accordingly
agrees as follows: 
 (i) During the Employment Term and the twenty-four (24) months following the date of Executive’s
Termination of Employment or, if any benefits are paid to Executive pursuant to subparagraph (vi) of Section 8.c of this Agreement, the thirty-six (36) months following the date of
Executive’s Termination of Employment (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation
or other business organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever (“Person”), directly or indirectly solicit or assist in soliciting in competition with the Company, the business of any client or customer or prospective client or customer:

 (A) with whom Executive had personal contact or dealings on behalf of the Company during the one year period preceding the earlier of
the Executive’s Termination of Employment or such solicitation; 
 (B) with whom employees reporting to Executive have had personal
contact or dealings on behalf of the Company during the one year immediately preceding the Executive’s Termination of Employment; or 

(C) for whom Executive had direct or indirect responsibility during the one year immediately preceding Executive’s Termination of
Employment. 
 (ii) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not directly or indirectly: 

(A) engage in (1) the business of manufacturing equipment used in (x) the production, storage and
end-use of hydrocarbon and industrial gases business or (y) low temperature and cryogenic applications, (2) any other businesses which the Company or its subsidiaries engage in during the term of
Executive’s employment with the Company and (3) any 

  
 11 








 
businesses which, as of the date of Executive’s Termination of Employment, the Company or its subsidiaries both (x) have specific plans to conduct in the future (and as to which
Executive is aware of such planning) and (y) have allocated or invested capital as of the date of such Termination of Employment (a “Competitive Business”); 

(B) enter the employ of, or render any services to, any Person (or any division or controlled or controlling affiliate of any Person) who or
which engages in a Competitive Business; 
 (C) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any
Competitive Business, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or 

(D) interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, business relationships (whether formed before, on or after the date of this Agreement)
between the Company or any of its affiliates and customers, clients, suppliers, partners, members or investors of the Company or its affiliates. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Executive may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment,
securities of any Person engaged in the business of the Company or its affiliates which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or quotation system or on the
over-the-counter market if Executive (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person and (ii) does not, directly or
indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person. 
 (iv) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, whether on
Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Person, directly or indirectly: 
 (A) solicit or encourage any
employee of the Company or its affiliates to leave the employment of the Company or its affiliates; or 
 (B) hire any such employee who
was employed by the Company or its affiliates as of the date of Executive’s Termination of Employment with the Company or who left the employment of the Company or its affiliates coincident with, or within one year prior to or after, the
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. 
 (v) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or
indirectly, solicit or encourage to cease to work with the Company or its affiliates any consultant then under contract with the Company or its affiliates. 

b. It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 10
to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of
this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of
competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions
contained herein.

 11. Confidentiality; Intellectual Property. 

a. Confidentiality. 
 (i)
Executive will not at any time (whether during or after Executive’s employment with the Company) (x) retain or use for the benefit, purposes or account of Executive or any other Person other than the Company; or (y) disclose, divulge,
reveal, communicate, share, transfer or provide access to any Person outside the Company (other than its professional advisers who are bound by confidentiality obligations or other than in performing his or her duties on behalf of the Company
consistent with Company policies), any non-public, proprietary or confidential information—including without limitation trade secrets, know-how, research and
development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and other intellectual property, information concerning finances, investments, profits, pricing, costs, products, services, vendors, customers, clients, partners,
investors, personnel, compensation, recruiting, training, advertising, sales, marketing, promotions, government and regulatory activities and approvals — concerning the past, current or future business, activities and operations of the Company,
its subsidiaries or affiliates and/or any third party that has disclosed or provided any of same to the Company on a confidential basis (“Confidential Information”) without the prior written authorization of the Board or a duly authorized
committee thereof. 
 (ii) “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that is (a) generally known to the
industry or the public other than as a result of Executive’s breach of this covenant or any breach of other confidentiality obligations by third parties; (b) made legitimately available to Executive by a third party without breach of any
confidentiality obligation; or (c) required by law to be disclosed; provided that Executive shall give prompt written notice to the Company of such requirement, disclose no more information than is so required, and cooperate with any attempts
by the Company to obtain a protective order or similar treatment. 
 (iii) Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company
for any reason, Executive shall (x) cease and not thereafter commence use of any Confidential Information or intellectual property (including without limitation, any patent, invention, copyright, trade secret, trademark, trade name, logo,
domain name or other source indicator) owned or used by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates; (y) immediately destroy, delete, or return to the Company, at the Company’s option, all originals and copies in any form or medium
(including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters and other data) in Executive’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in Executive’s office, home, laptop or other computer, whether or
not Company property) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the business of the Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries, except that Executive may retain only those portions of any personal notes, notebooks and diaries that
do not contain any Confidential Information; and (z) notify and fully cooperate with the Company regarding the delivery or destruction of any other Confidential Information of which Executive is or becomes aware. 

  
 13 








 b. Intellectual Property. 

(i) If Executive has created, invented, designed, developed, contributed to or improved any works of authorship, inventions, intellectual
property, materials, documents or other work product (including without limitation, research, reports, software, databases, systems, applications, presentations, textual works, content, or audiovisual materials) (“Works”), either alone or
with third parties, at any time during Executive’s employment by the Company and within the scope of such employment and/or with the use of any of the Company’s resources (“Company Works”), Executive shall promptly and fully
disclose same, to the best of his or her knowledge, to the Company and hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and intellectual property rights therein (including rights under
patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) to the Company to the extent ownership of any such rights does not vest originally in the Company. 

(ii) Executive shall take all reasonably requested actions and execute all reasonably requested documents (including any licenses or
assignments required by a government contract) at the Company’s expense (but without further remuneration) to assist the Company in validating, maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or registering any of the
Company’s rights in the Company Works. If the Company requests Executive’s assistance pursuant to this paragraph following termination of Executive’s employment, such assistance shall be provided at mutually agreeable times and
locations. 
 (iii) Executive shall not improperly use for the benefit of, bring to any premises of, divulge, disclose, communicate,
reveal, transfer or provide access to, or share with the Company any confidential, proprietary or non-public information or intellectual property relating to a former employer or other third party without the
prior written permission of such third party. Executive hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to defend the Company and its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives from any breach of the foregoing covenant that
occurs with Executive’s knowledge or as a result of Executive’s negligent conduct. Executive shall comply with all relevant policies and guidelines of the Company, including regarding the protection of confidential information and
intellectual property and potential conflicts of interest. Executive acknowledges that the Company may amend any such policies and guidelines from time to time, and that Executive remains at all times bound by their most current version. 

(iv) The provisions of Section 11 shall survive the Executive’s Termination of Employment for any reason. 

12. Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach
of any of the provisions of Section 10 or Section 11 would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of
such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required by this Agreement and obtain equitable relief
in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

 13. Miscellaneous. 

a. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard
to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 b. Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12 of this Agreement,
any controversy, dispute, or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to, the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the validity, scope, and enforceability of this section, may at the
election of any party, be solely and finally settled by arbitration conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, by and in accordance with the then existing rules for commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, or any successor organization
and with the Expedited Procedures thereof (collectively, the “Rules”). Each of the parties hereto agrees that such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules; provided that such arbitrator
shall be experienced in deciding cases concerning the matter which is the subject of the dispute. Any of the parties may demand arbitration by written notice to the other and to the Arbitrator set forth in this Section 13(b) (“Demand for
Arbitration”). Each of the parties agrees that if possible, the award shall be made in writing no more than 30 days following the end of the proceeding. Any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding and judgment may be
entered on it in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto agrees to treat as confidential the results of any arbitration (including, without limitation, any findings of fact and/or law made by the arbitrator) and not to
disclose such results to any unauthorized person. The parties intend that this agreement to arbitrate be valid, enforceable and irrevocable. In the event of any arbitration with regard to this Agreement, each party shall pay its own legal fees and
expenses except to the extent set forth in Section 13(p), provided, however, that the Company agrees to pay the cost of the Arbitrator’s fees. 

c. Entire Agreement/Amendments. This Agreement amends and restates the Original Employment Agreement and contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than
those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto. 

d. No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be
considered a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. 

e. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 

  
 15 








 f. Assignment. This Agreement, and all of Executive’s rights and duties hereunder,
shall not be assignable or delegable by Executive. Any purported assignment or delegation by Executive in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a
person or entity which is an affiliate or a successor in interest to substantially all of the business operations of the Company. The Company will require any person or entity which is an affiliate or a successor in interest to substantially all of
the business operations of the Company to assume all obligations of the Company under this Agreement. 
 g. Set-Off; No Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall be subject to set-off,
counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to the Company or its affiliates (the “debt”), where such debt is incurred in the ordinary course of the service relationship between Executive and the Company, the entire amount of
reduction in any of the Company’s taxable years does not exceed $5,000 and the reduction is made at the same time and in the same amount as the debt otherwise would have been due and collected from Executive. Executive shall not be required to
mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment. 
 h. Successors; Binding
Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

If to Executive: 

To the most recent address of Executive set forth in the personnel records of the Company. 

j. Executive Representation. Executive hereby represents to the Company that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive
and the Company and the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, the terms of any employment agreement or other agreement or policy to which Executive is a party or
otherwise bound. 

  
 16 








 k. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supercedes all prior agreements (including the
Original Employment Agreement) and understandings (including verbal agreements) between Executive and the Company and/or its affiliates regarding the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment with the Company and/or its affiliates, except
that this Agreement does not supercede any stock option agreement, performance unit agreement, restricted stock unit agreement or indemnification agreement. 

l. Cooperation. Executive shall provide Executive’s reasonable cooperation in connection with any action or proceeding (or any
appeal from any action or proceeding) which relates to events occurring during Executive’s employment hereunder. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement. If the Company requests Executive’s cooperation pursuant to
this paragraph following termination of Executive’s employment, such cooperation shall be provided at mutually agreeable times and locations. 

m. Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state and local taxes as may
be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 n. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 

o. Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of
Executive’s Termination of Employment with the Company Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a
result of such Termination of Employment is necessary in order to prevent the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or
benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six months following Executive’s Termination of Employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is
permitted under Section 409A of the Code), (ii) any reimbursements provided under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, in Sections 2.c., 8.a.(iii)(C) and 13(p), shall be made no later than the end of Executive’s taxable year
following Executive’s taxable year in which such expense was incurred; in addition, the amounts eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, during any one taxable year under this
Agreement may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year under this Agreement, (iii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or
additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits
shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Board or any duly authorized committee thereof, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax or result in an additional cost to the Company, and (iv) if
(x) any payment under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A and is conditioned upon Executive’s 

  
 17 








 
signing a release of claims and (y) the period for Executive to sign the release of claims (and any applicable period to revoke the release) starts in one calendar year and ends in the
following calendar year, such payment will be made (or commence) in the second calendar year, subject to any payment terms provided in this Agreement. The Company shall consult with Executive in good faith regarding the implementation of the
provisions of this Section 13(o); provided that neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to Executive with respect thereto. 

p. Enforcement Costs. The Company is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control the Board of Directors or a shareholder of
the Company may then cause or attempt to cause the Company to refuse to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, or may cause or attempt to cause the Company to institute, or may institute, litigation or arbitration seeking to have this
Agreement declared unenforceable, or may take, or attempt to take, other action to deny Executive the benefits intended under this Agreement. In these circumstances, the purpose of this Agreement could be frustrated. It is the intent of the Company
that Executive not be required to incur the expenses associated with the enforcement of Executive’s rights under this Agreement by litigation, arbitration or other legal action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract
from the benefits intended to be extended to Executive hereunder, nor be bound to negotiate any settlement of Executive’s rights hereunder under threat of incurring such expenses. Accordingly, if at any time following a Change in Control, it
should appear to Executive that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation,
arbitration or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or recover from Executive the benefits intended to be provided to Executive hereunder, and Executive has complied with all of Executive’s obligations under Sections 10 and 11, then
the Company irrevocably authorizes Executive from time to time to retain counsel of Executive’s choice at the expense of the Company as provided in this Section 13(p) to represent Executive in connection with the initiation or defense of
any litigation, arbitration or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any Director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction. The Company’s obligations under this Section 13(p)
shall not be conditioned on Executive’s success in the prosecution or defense of any such litigation, arbitration or other legal action. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the Company and such counsel,
the Company irrevocably consents to Executive entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the Company and Executive agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between Executive and such counsel.
The reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected from time to time by Executive as hereinabove provided shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive by the Company on a regular, periodic basis no later than 30 days after presentation by Executive of
a statement or statements prepared by such counsel in accordance with its customary practices, up to a maximum of $250,000 per year for each of the two years following the year in which the Change in Control occurs, provided that Executive presents
such statement(s) no later than 30 days prior to the end of Executive’s taxable year following the year in which such expenses were incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 13(p) shall not apply at any time unless a Change in
Control has occurred. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
