ARTICLE I

INTRODUCTION AND ESTABLISHMENT

Zep Inc. (the Company) established and maintains the Zep Inc. Amended and Restated Supplemental Deferred Savings Plan (the Plan) for the benefit of eligible management and highly
compensated employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Business Units. The Plan is designed to assist and encourage eligible employees to accumulate capital and to supplement their retirement income and to align their interests more closely
with those of stockholders. The Plan provides for elective deferrals of an employees compensation, Company matching contributions and supplemental Company contributions.

The effective date of the Plan is October 31, 2007 (Effective Date). The Plan was established in connection with the spin-off (the Spin-off) of the Company from Acuity Brands,
Inc. (Acuity Brands), which became effective October 31, 2007. Pursuant to an Employee Benefits Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2007, between the Company and Acuity Brands, the amounts credited to the Accounts (including all
subaccounts) of certain employees and former employees of Acuity Brands and its subsidiaries who were participants in the Acuity Brands, Inc. Supplemental Deferred Savings Plan and the Acuity Brands, Inc. 2005 Supplemental Deferred Savings Plan
(together, the Prior Plans) as of the Effective Date, and who became or remained employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date (including former employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and employees of the
corporate office of Acuity Brands who become employees of the Company) were transferred to the Plan. As provided for herein, the elections made, and rights existing, under the Prior Plans prior to the Effective Date, including elections regarding
deferral amounts, timing and manner of payment of benefits, and designation of Beneficiaries, were carried over and apply for purposes of the Plan after the Effective Date (subject to any change of election rights under the Plan).

ARTICLE III

PARTICIPATION; DEFERRAL ELECTION

3.1 Eligibility to Participate. Prior to the beginning of each Plan Year, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or his designee) shall establish four (4) classifications of eligible
Participants for such Plan Year (referred to herein as Class I Participants, Class II Participants, Class III Participants, and Class IV Participants), as well as the particular eligibility criteria
for each such classification. Such eligibility criteria may be based on officer status, reporting (or other) responsibilities, minimum compensation levels, or such other criteria as the Chief Executive Officer (or his designee) deems to be
appropriate. Individuals within each such class shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be referred to as Eligible Executives and, if an Eligible Executive elects to participate in this Plan as a Participant. Each such
class of Eligible Executives shall have the same rights with respect to the deferral of compensation under Section 3.2; however, rights with respect to matching and supplemental contributions under Section 4.1 shall vary between the
classes of Participants pursuant to the provisions of such section.

3.2 Deferral Election. For any Plan Year in which
an Eligible Executive is eligible to participate, such Eligible Executive may elect on an Election Form to have a portion of the Compensation to be received by the Executive for such Plan Year deferred in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Plan. The Plan Administrator may provide for a separate election with respect to salary and annual bonus.

An Executive
desiring to exercise such election shall, prior to the beginning of each Plan Year (or within 30 days after the date of the Eligible Executives initial eligibility for the Plan as determined by the Plan Administrator, if such eligibility
commences other than at the beginning of a Plan Year), complete an Election Form indicating the percentage or amount of his Compensation for such Plan Year that he elects to have deferred, provided that the Plan Administrator may extend the date for
electing to defer an annual bonus under a Performance-Based Plan to the extent permitted by Section 409A. If the Eligible Executives election would result in a deferral greater than the maximum previously established by the Plan
Administrator, any deferred amount shall be reduced to the maximum limit.

An election to defer Compensation must be filed
with the Plan Administrator within the time period prescribed by the Plan Administrator. If a Participant fails to file a properly completed and duly executed Election Form with the Plan Administrator by the prescribed time, he will be deemed to
have elected not to defer any Compensation under this Plan for the Plan Year, except to the extent the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion permits an extension of the election period. An Eligible Executive may not, after the applicable
election date change (increase or decrease) the percentage or amount of Compensation he has elected to defer for a Plan Year.

At the time a Participant elects to defer Compensation, the Participant shall elect with respect to such deferral the time and manner in
which the amount deferred (and any earnings thereon) will be distributed to the Participant. The Plan Administrator may provide that such election is a continuing election with respect to all amounts credited (and to be credited) to the
Participants Account. The distribution elections, and any changes to such elections, shall be made in accordance with Article V.



8



---



The Plan Administrator
may establish a maximum deferral limitation for a Plan Year for each group or class of Eligible Executives (which may be a dollar amount, a percentage of Compensation or some other limit) and may change such limitation from year to year, provided an
Eligible Executive shall not be permitted to reduce his Compensation below the amount necessary to make required or elected contributions to employee benefit plans, required federal, state and local tax withholdings, and any other withholdings
deemed necessary by the Plan Administrator or required by law.

The Participant may designate on the Election Form (or on
separate form provided by the Plan Administrator) a Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) to receive payment of amounts in his Account in the event of his death. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary under the Plan, the Beneficiary(ies) under
the Prior Plans shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary(ies) designated under this Plan.

3.3 Deferral Subaccount. The
Company shall establish a Deferral Subaccount for each Participant under the Plan. The initial amount credited to the Participants Deferral Subaccount under the Plan shall be the amount credited to the Participants Deferral Subaccount in
the Prior Plans that is transferred to this Plan as provided in Section 4.2 below. Each Participants Deferral Subaccount shall thereafter be credited with the amounts of Compensation deferred by the Participant under this Plan. The timing
and manner in which amounts are credited to a Participants Deferral Subaccount under this Plan shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, but the deferral election shall be applied to each pay period in which the
Participant has Compensation during his period of participation in the Plan.

3.4 Crediting of
Earnings. A Participants Deferral Subaccount shall be credited with earnings (or losses) under the Cash Fund or the Stock Fund as elected by the Participant from time to time pursuant to procedures established by the Plan Administrator.
Such credits of earnings (or losses) shall be made at such times or intervals as may be determined by the Plan Administrator from time to time. In furtherance, but not in limitation of the foregoing, Participant deferrals which the Participant
elects to be credited under the Stock Fund shall be accumulated and credited with additional stock and earnings (or losses) at such times as determined by the Plan Administrator, which (unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator) shall
generally be as soon as administratively practical following the 15thday of the first month following the close of the calendar quarter, or (if the Companys common stock is not publicly traded on such date) on the closest preceding day on which the Companys
common stock is traded. During such accumulation period, deferred amounts to be credited under the Stock Fund shall be credited with interest at the Prime Rate.

3.5 Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount and Deferred Vested Value Subaccount. The Company shall establish a Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount and a Deferred Vested Value Subaccount for each
Participant under the Plan who has Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount or Deferred Vested Value Subaccount credits in the Prior Plan Transfer Account being transferred from the Prior Plans. The initial amount credited to the Participants
Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount and Deferred Vested Value Subaccount under the Plan shall be a



9



---

number of whole Acuity Shares (with any fractional share converted to cash and treated as part of the cash portion of the account) equal in value (determined immediately after the Spin-off by the
Plan Administrator) to the number of Acuity Shares credited to the Participants Deferred Vested Value Subaccount and Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount in the Prior Plans immediately prior to the Spin-off that are transferred to this Plan as
provided in Section 4.2 below. No further deferrals will be allowed to the Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount or Deferred Vested Value Subaccount by the Participant under this Plan, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. The
Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount and Deferred Vested Value Subaccount will be adjusted on each Annual Valuation Date (and at such other dates, if any, as may be determined by the Plan Administrator) as if they were invested in Acuity Shares to
reflect any distributions, stock dividends, stock splits or similar actions with respect to the Acuity Shares since the preceding Annual Valuation Date (or such other date). The Participants Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount and Deferred
Vested Value Subaccount will be adjusted on each Annual Valuation Date (and at such other dates, if any, as may be determined by the Plan Administrator) to reflect the cash equivalent of any dividends with respect to the Acuity Shares since the
preceding Annual Valuation Date (or such other date). The amounts credited to a Participants Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount shall be distributed and subject to a further deferral election as provided in Section 5.1(f) below, and the
Participants Deferred Vested Value Subaccount shall be distributed in Acuity Shares (with any cash amounts credited to such subaccount or any fractional shares paid in cash) and subject to further deferral election as provided in
Section 5.2 below.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS

5.1 Timing and Form of Payment of Section 409A Account.

The
following rules shall apply with respect to payment of a Participants Section 409A Account:

(a)
In General. Subject to subsection (g) below, on the Election Form, the Participant shall make an election as to the timing and form of payment for any Participant deferrals for such Plan Year and the form of payment for any Employer
contribution credits for such Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.1 (such Employer contribution credits are automatically credited to the Participants Retirement Account) from among the options set forth below for the Participants
Retirement Account and for any Cash In-Service Account. Once the Participant elects a form of payment for the Retirement Account, and the time and form of payment for any Cash In-Service Account, those elections may only be changed twice and only in
accordance with subsection (e) below. Notwithstanding the Participants payment elections under this Article V, the entire amount remaining in the Participants Account will be paid to the Participant in a lump sum in January of the
calendar year in which the Participant will attain age 80. Any elections the Participant makes pursuant to Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c) or 5.1(h) may provide for distributions in a lump sum, or in annual payments for a period of up to ten
(10) years, provided that if the balance of the Participants Account is less than $15,000, the Participants Account will automatically be paid in a lump sum. For example, under the 10-year annual payment method, the first
years payment will equal one tenth (1/10) of the total Account, the second years will equal one ninth (1/9) of the remaining Account, and so forth. Subject to subsection (g) below, payment of the Participants Account
shall be made (i) if the payment is in a lump sum, as soon as practicable after the event entitling the Participant to payment, or (ii) if the payment is in installments, commencing in the January following the event entitling the
Participant to payment.

(b) Retirement Account. The Participant will be entitled to payment of his
Retirement Account in accordance with his payment election if the Participant has a Termination of Service upon Retirement, or after attaining age 55 and completing five or more Years of Service. The Participant may elect that the vested amount of
his Retirement Account be distributed in a lump sum, or in annual payments for a period of up to ten (10) years as described in 5.1(a). If the Participant has a Termination of Service prior to Retirement or attaining age 55 and completing five
Years of Service, the Participants Retirement Account shall be paid in a lump sum.

(c) Cash
In-Service Account. For a Participants deferrals (but not for any Employer contribution credits), the Participants may elect to have a Cash In-Service Account payable (or commence to be paid) during January of the year selected by the
Participant on the Election Form (which initial payment date may not be earlier than two years after the end of the calendar year during which amounts are first credited to such Account), in a lump sum or in annual payments over a period of up to
ten (10) years, in the manner provided in (a) above, as applicable; provided, that any subsequent deferrals



15



---

to such designated Cash In-Service Account must be made no later than the end of the calendar year ending two years prior to such payment date; provided, further, that a Participant may only
establish such number of Cash In-Service Accounts for his Account as may be permitted by the Plan Administrator (or his designee) and the Plan Administrator may increase the minimum deferral period for Cash In-Service Accounts. Notwithstanding the
Participants elections under this Section 5.1(c), in the event the Participant has a Termination of Service prior to Retirement, and before attaining age 55 and completing five or more Years of Service, the remaining balance of
Participants Cash In-Service Account shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practical following such Termination of Service (whether or not the Cash In-Service Account was in payment status at such time). Additionally, notwithstanding the
Participants elections under this Section 5.1(c), in the event the Participant has a Termination of Service upon Retirement, or after attaining age 55 and completing five or more Years of Service, then the remaining balance of
Participants Cash In-Service Account shall be paid in accordance with the election the Participant made under Section 5.1(b) relating to the Participants Retirement Account (whether or not the Cash In-Service Account was in payment
status at such time), but only if such election would accelerate the payment of the Participants Cash In-Service Account balance as permitted in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j). If such election would not accelerate payment of the
Participants Cash In-Service Account balance, then the remaining balance shall continue to be paid in accordance with the elections made under this Section 5.1(c).

(d) Annual Designation. The Participant will designate each Plan Year which portion of the Participants
deferrals for such Plan Year shall be credited to the Participants Retirement Account and any Cash In-Service Accounts he has established. If a Participants Account is distributed in installments, the Account shall continue to be
credited with deemed earnings, gains and losses in accordance with Article IV until the entire amount of the Account is distributed.

(e) Change of Payment Election. A Participant may, not less than twelve (12) months prior to the payment dates of any Cash In-Service Accounts he has established under subsection
(c) above, and with the approval of the Plan Administrator, elect to defer the date on which payment of any Cash In-Service Account shall commence and/or change the method of payment of such Cash In-Service Account, provided that,
(i) after the initial election under subsection (c), a Participant may only make two election changes with respect to a particular Cash In-Service Account (after the second such election change, the election shall become irrevocable);
(ii) except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the first in-service payment with respect to any such changed election must be deferred at least 5 years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made; and (iii) except
as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the election shall not become effective for 12 months.

A Participant may, not
less than twelve (12) months prior to the event entitling the Participant to payment of his Retirement Account under subsection (b) above, elect to change the method of payment of the Participants Retirement Account, provided that
(i) only two such changes are permitted and after the second such election change, the election is irrevocable; (ii) the payment date for the Participants Retirement Account will be deferred for 5 years for each election change; and
(iii) the election shall not become effective for 12 months.



16



---



All changes of election
shall be made through a method established by the Plan Administrator and in a manner consistent with the subsequent deferral rules of Section 409A.

(f) Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount. Unless the Participant elects otherwise as provided below, the vested amounts credited to his Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount shall automatically be
paid in a single payment in January, 2008. The Participant may elect on such form as may be provided by the Plan Administrator to receive payment on Termination of Service or other specified time if permitted by Section 409A. All distributions
from the Participants Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount shall be made in a lump sum. The Participant may elect to change the time of payment of his Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount, but such election may only be changed twice and only
in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) above.

The amounts credited to the Participants Deferred
Restricted Stock Subaccount shall be subject to the Financial Hardship distribution rules of subsection (j) below. The amounts credited to the Deferred Restricted Stock Subaccount that are treated as invested in Acuity Shares shall be paid in
whole Acuity Shares (with any fractional Acuity Share paid in cash).

(g) Specified Employee
Restriction. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V, in the event a Participant who is a specified employee (as determined by the Plan Administrator in accordance with procedures that are consistent with
Section 409A) becomes entitled to payments upon Retirement or Termination of Service, then to the extent required by Section 409A payments shall not commence until 6 months after such Participant separates from service and on such date the
payments that would have been made during such six-month period shall be made.

(h) Payment at Death. A
Participant may elect that, upon his/her death, the vested amount of his or her Account be distributed in a lump sum, or in annual payments for a period of up to ten (10) years as described in 5.1(a). In the absence of such election, payment
will be made in a lump sum. In the event a Participant dies while actively employed prior to Retirement or other Termination of Service, the entire amount of the Participants Account will become fully vested and will be paid in accordance with
the Participants election for payment in the event of his or her death. In the event the Participant dies while all or a portion of the Participants Account is in pay status (regardless of whether or not the Participant has had a
Termination of Service), the remaining balance shall be paid according to the Participants election for payment in the event of his or her death, but only to the extent that such death election would accelerate the payment of the
Participants benefits as permitted in Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j). If such death election would not accelerate the portion of the Participants Account that was in pay status at the time of the Participants death, such
portion shall continue to be paid in accordance with the applicable distribution election relating to such portion of the Participants Account, and the remaining portion of the Participants Account, if any, shall be paid in accordance
with the Participants death election. After a Participants death, any remaining payments will be made to the Participants Beneficiary.



17



---



(i)
Payment at Disability. In the event of the Participants Total and Permanent Disability, the entire amount of the Participants Account will become fully vested and payment will be made in accordance with the Participants
election under Section 5.1(b) relating to the Participants Retirement Account. Once payment has commenced, payments will continue as elected regardless of any future change in the Participants disability status.

(j) Financial Hardship Distribution. Subject to approval by the Plan Administrator, the Participant may apply to
withdraw, upon a showing of Financial Hardship, part or all of his vested Account. If the Plan Administrator determines that a distribution should be made on account of Financial Hardship, distribution from the Participants Account shall be
made as soon as administratively practical. Such distribution shall not exceed the dollar amount necessary to satisfy the Financial Hardship plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking
into account the extent to which the Financial Hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participants assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not
itself cause Financial Hardship).

5.2 Timing and Form of Payment of Pre-Section 409A Account.

The following rules shall apply with respect to payment of a Participants Pre-Section 409A Account:

(a) Deferral Subaccount.



| | (i) | In General. Except as provided in (ii) and (iii) below, distribution of each Class Year Subaccount of a Participant shall be made in a single lump sum
payment as soon as practicable after the January 1 next following five (5) full Plan Years after the Class Year. For example, the distribution of the 2002 Class Year Subaccount (the Participants deferrals credited to him for the year
ended December 31, 2002) shall be made on or about January 1, 2008, and for the 2003 Class Year Subaccount on or about January 1, 2009, and so on. All amounts shall be paid in cash, provided that amounts credited to the Deferred
Vested Value Subaccount that are treated as invested in Acuity Shares shall be paid in Acuity Shares.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Election to Defer Distribution. A Participant who will become eligible to receive a distribution of a Class Year Subaccount under (i) above
may elect to defer to the January 1 of a later year (subject to the limitations provided below) the distribution of such Class Year Subaccount. The election to defer distribution of a Class Year Subaccount must be filed prior to the end of the
fourth Plan Year
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



18

| | immediately following the Class Year for such Class Year Subaccount. For example, for the 2002 Class Year Subaccount, the election must be filed prior to January 1, 2007. The
Participants deferral election for a Class Year Subaccount must indicate (A) the January 1 when he desires his benefit to be paid or to commence, which date must be at least two (2) years after the date he could initially have
received a distribution, and (B) whether the distribution should be made in a lump sum or in annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years; provided, that the lump sum payment shall be made not later than the year in which he
attains age 70 and the last installment payment shall be made not later than the year in which the Participant attains age 75. A Participants Class Year Subaccount for which a deferral election is made under this subsection (ii) shall
continue to be credited with earnings under Section 3.3 until the amount is fully distributed (except as limited in the case of a Termination for Cause).
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Death, Disability or Termination of Service Prior to Vesting.
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------



| | (A) | Notwithstanding the existence of a deferral election under Section 5.2(a)(ii), in the event of a Participants death, Total and Permanent Disability, or a
Termination of Service prior to the Participants completion of 5 Years of Service and attainment of age 55, distribution of the vested balance credited to a Participants Deferral Subaccount shall be made to the Participant (or his
Beneficiary in the event of death) as soon as practical. Payment of the Participants Deferral Subaccount shall be made in a lump sum.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | In the event a Participant terminates after completing 5 Years of Service and attaining age 55 (except for death and Total and Permanent Disability which are covered by
(A) above), the vested balance credited to a Participants Deferral Subaccount shall be distributed as follows: (x) any Class Year Subaccounts as to which he has properly elected under subsection (ii) above a delayed distribution
and/or payment in installments shall be distributed in accordance with such elections; and (y) with respect to any Class Year Subaccounts as to which the five-year period has not yet passed and that would otherwise be payable more than one
(1) year in the future, the Participant may elect prior to termination to make the deferral election in (ii) above. Any Class Year Subaccounts as to which the 5-year period has not passed that are payable within one (1) year and any
Class Year Subaccounts as to which the election in (y) is not made shall be payable as soon as practical after termination.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (C) | In the event payments are made pursuant to this subsection (a)(iii), earnings shall be credited under Section 3.3 until all amounts have been distributed (except
as limited in the case of Termination for Cause).
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Matching and Supplemental
Subaccounts. The vested amounts (determined in accordance with Section 4.3(b)(ii) credited to a Participants Matching Subaccount and Supplemental Subaccount shall be payable in a lump sum as soon as practical after the
Participants death, Total and Permanent Disability or Termination of Service, unless, in the case of a termination other than for death or Total and Permanent Disability, the Participant has elected a delayed payment date and/or payment in
installments on the Election Form; provided that the lump sum payment shall be made not later than the year in which he attains age 70 and the last installment payment shall be made not later than the year in which the Participant attains age 75.
The Plan Administrator may establish rules to permit Participants to change the form and timing of their payment election, provided that no such change shall be effective unless it is made at least two (2) years prior to the Participants
Termination of Service. In the event of death after Termination of Service, distribution of the remaining amount credited to the Participants Matching Subaccount and Supplemental Subaccount shall be made to a Beneficiary in a lump sum as soon
as practical after the Participants death. All amounts shall be paid in cash.

(c) Hardship
Distributions. A Participant who is suffering an unforeseen and severe financial hardship as a result of (i) an illness or accident of the Participant or his immediately family, (ii) loss of Participants property due to casualty,
or (iii) for such other reasons as the Plan Administrator may establish, may file a written request with the Plan Administrator for distribution of all or a portion of the amount credited to his Deferral Subaccount. The Plan Administrator shall
have the sole discretion to determine whether to grant a Participants hardship request and the amount to distribute to the Participant. The Plan Administrator shall have authority in connection with such hardship request to accelerate the

not adopt any other arrangement that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A for three years; (iii) the payments upon such termination shall not commence until 12 months after the date of termination and shall be completed
within 24 months after the date of termination; and (iv) such other requirements as may be imposed by Section 409A are satisfied. The termination of this Plan shall not result in the reduction of the amount credited to the
Participants Account as of the date of such termination.

8.3 Change In Control Provisions.

(a) Amendment or Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII or the Plan to the contrary,
for a period of two (2) years following a Change in Control, this Plan shall not be terminated or amended to reduce, suspend or eliminate any Eligible Executives or Participants benefits or participation (or right to participate)
provided under this Plan, including, without limitation, the benefits provided in Articles III and IV. Any amendment or termination of this Plan which a Participant reasonably demonstrates (i) was at the request of a third party who has
indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control, and which was not consented to in writing by the Participant shall
be null and void, and shall have no effect whatsoever with respect to the Participant.

(b) Termination of
Employment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, if a Participants employment is terminated by the Company (other than for Cause as defined in (c) below) or by the Participant for any reason
within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Participants Account shall become fully



24



---

vested and the Company shall, within ten (10) days, pay to the Participant a lump sum payment in cash in an amount equal to the full amount credited to his Account with earnings determined
under Sections 3.3 and 4.1 credited thereto to the date of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant shall be paid in Acuity Shares for any portion of the Participants Account deemed to be invested in Acuity Shares and Shares for any
portion of the Participants Account deemed to be invested in Shares (provided that the Company may elect in its discretion to pay cash in lieu of Shares). If a Participants employment is terminated (i) for Cause (as defined in
(c) below) within two (2) years following a Change in Control or (ii) for any reason more than two (2) years after a Change in Control, the provisions of Article V shall apply to the distribution of the Participants
Account.

(c) Cause. For purposes of Section 8.3(b), a termination for Cause is a
termination of the Executive evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by the Company (or in the case of executive officers of the Company, by two-thirds of the Board of Directors of the Company) that the Participant (i) intentionally and
continually failed to substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than a failure resulting from the Participants incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which failure continued for a period of at least thirty (30) days
after a written notice of demand for substantial performance has been delivered to the Participant specifying the manner in which the Participant has failed to substantially perform, or (ii) intentionally engaged in conduct which is
demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; provided, however, that no termination of the Participants employment shall be for Cause as set forth in clause (ii) above until (x) there
shall have been delivered to the Participant a copy of a written notice setting forth that the Participant was guilty of the conduct set forth in clause (ii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail, and (y) the Participant shall
have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board (with the assistance of the Participants counsel if the Participant so desires). No act, nor failure to act, on the Participants part, shall be considered intentional
unless he has acted or failed to act, with an absence of good faith and without a reasonable belief that his action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in
the case of any Participant who is a party to a Change in Control Agreement, no failure to perform by the Participant after a Notice of Termination (as defined in the Participants Change in Control Agreement) is given by the Participant shall
constitute Cause for purposes of this Plan.

8.4 Parachute Payment Cutback.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in an individual agreement with the Company, if any payment or distribution by the Company
or any Related Entity (as defined below) to or for the benefit of a Participant, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan,
program or arrangement, including without limitation any equity-based award under any Company plan, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any such award (a Payment), 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 any interest or penalties with respect to such tax (such



25



---

tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, being hereafter collectively referred to as the Excise Tax), then the benefits payable under this Plan or other Payments
as described below shall be reduced if, and only to the extent that, such reduction will allow the Participant to receive a greater Net After Tax Amount than such Participant would receive absent such reduction.

(b) The Accounting Firm (as defined below) will first determine the amount of any Parachute Payments (as defined below)
that are payable to the Participant. The Accounting Firm also will determine the Net After Tax Amount attributable to the Participants total Parachute Payments.

(c) The Accounting Firm will next determine the largest amount of Payments that may be made to the Participant without
subjecting the Participant to the Excise Tax (the Capped Payments). Thereafter, the Accounting Firm will determine the Net After Tax Amount attributable to the Capped Payments.

(d) The Participant then will receive the total Parachute Payments or the Capped Payments, whichever provides the
Participant with the higher Net After Tax Amount. If the Participant will receive the Capped Payments of some other amount lesser than the total Parachute Payments, the total Parachute Payments will be adjusted by first reducing the amount of any
cash benefits payable under the Participants Change in Control Agreement (if any) or any other plan, agreement or arrangement (in order of soonest to latest payment) and then by reducing the amount of any noncash benefits under the
Participants Change in Control Agreement (if any) or any other plan, agreement or arrangement (in order of soonest to latest payment). The Accounting Firm will notify the Participant and the Company if it determines that the Parachute
Payments must be reduced and will send the Participant and the Company a copy of its detailed calculations supporting that determination.

(e) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999 at the time that the Accounting Firm makes its determinations under this Section, it is possible that amounts will have
been paid or distributed to the Participant that should not have been paid or distributed under this Section (Overpayments), or that additional amounts should be paid or distributed to the Participant under this Section
(Underpayments). If the Accounting Firm determines, based on either the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant, which assertion the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability
of success or controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an Overpayment has been made, that Overpayment will be treated for all purposes as a loan ab initio that the Participant must repay to the Company together with interest at
the applicable Federal rate under Code Section 7872; provided, however, that no loan will be deemed to have been made and no amount will be payable by the Participant to the Company unless, and then only to the extent that, the deemed loan and
payment would either reduce the amount on which the Participant is subject to tax under Code Section 4999 or generate a refund of tax imposed under Code Section 4999. If the Accounting Firm determines, based upon controlling precedent or
substantial authority, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Accounting Firm will notify the Participant and the Company of that determination and the amount of



26



---

that Underpayment will be paid to the Participant promptly by the Company and no later than the end of the year in which the calculation of the Underpayment amount is administratively
practicable.

(f) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the
determinations and calculations contemplated by the preceding subsections shall be borne by the Company.

(g)
The Company and Participant shall each provide the Accounting Firm access to and copies of any books, records and documents in the possession of the Company or Participant, 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 the preceding subsections. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company
and the Participant.

(h) The federal, state and local income or other tax returns filed by Participant shall
be prepared and filed on a consistent basis with the determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to the Excise Tax payable by Participant. The Participant, at the request of the Company, shall provide the Company true and correct copies (with
any amendments) of Participants federal income tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service and corresponding state and local tax returns, if relevant, as filed with the applicable taxing authority, and such other documents reasonably
requested by the Company, evidencing such conformity.

(i) For purposes of this Section, the following terms
shall have their respective meanings:



| | (i) | Accounting Firm means the independent accounting firm engaged by the Company in the Companys sole discretion.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Net After Tax Amount means the amount of any Parachute Payments or Capped Payments, as applicable, net of taxes imposed under Code Sections 1, 3101(b) and
4999 and any State or local income taxes applicable to the Participant on the date of payment. The determination of the Net After Tax Amount shall be made using the highest combined effective rate imposed by the foregoing taxes on income of the same
character as the Parachute Payments or Capped Payments, as applicable, in effect on the date of payment.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Parachute Payment means a payment that is described in Code Section 280G(b)(2), determined in accordance with Code Section 280G and the
regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder.
| | ----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | Related Entity means the Company and any entity that is treated as having made a parachute payment to the Participant under Code
Section 280G and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to the extent provided herein.

9.2 Benefits Unfunded. The benefits provided by this Plan shall be unfunded. All
amounts payable under this Plan to Participants shall be paid from the general assets of the Company, and nothing contained in this Plan shall require the Company to set aside or hold in trust any amounts or assets for the purpose of paying benefits
to Participants. This Plan shall create only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company, and Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company under the Plan with respect to amounts of Compensation they defer
hereunder or any other obligation of the Company to pay benefits pursuant hereto. Any funds of the Company available to pay benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company, and may be used for any
purpose by the Company.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Company may at any time transfer assets, including
Shares and Acuity Shares, to a trust for purposes of paying all or any part of its obligations under this Plan. However, to the extent provided in the trust only, such transferred amounts shall remain subject to the claims of general creditors of
the Company. To the extent that assets are held in a trust when a Participants benefits under the Plan become payable, the Plan Administrator shall direct the trustee to pay such benefits to the Participant from the assets of the trust.

9.3 Other Plans. This Plan shall not affect the right of any Executive or Participant to participate in and receive
benefits under and in accordance with the provisions of any other employee benefit plans which are now or hereafter maintained by the Company, unless the terms of such other employee benefit plan or plans specifically provide otherwise.

9.4 Receipt or Release. Any payment to a Participant in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof,
be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Plan Administrator, the Company and any Employer, and the Plan Administrator may require such Participant, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

9.5 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects in accordance with
applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. If any provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

9.7 Successors and
Assigns; Nonalienation of Benefits. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that the amounts credited to the Account of a Participant shall not (except
as provided in Section 6.4) be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to
anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to any benefits payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any assignment or alienation in connection with a separation, divorce, child
support or similar arrangement, shall be null and void and not binding on the Plan or the Company. In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to expressly agree to assume and perform this Agreement in the same manner that the Company would be required to perform it.

Notwithstanding the preceding, the Company shall not be liable to any Participant or any other person if the Internal Revenue Service or any court or other authority having jurisdiction over such matter determines for any reason that any payments
under this Plan are subject to taxes, penalties or interest as a result of failing to comply with Section 409A, and the Participant shall be solely liable for any such taxes, penalties or interest.

9.9 Combination With Other Plan. The Plan may be combined or merged with other deferred compensation plans of the Company and the
Plan Administrator shall establish the terms and conditions relating to any such merger.

APPENDIX A

PENSION PLAN MAKE-UP CONTRIBUTION CREDIT



|(a) | In General - Commencing on the Effective Date (except where such amounts have already been credited under the Prior Plan), the Company shall for each Plan Year
during the Make-Up Contribution Period (as defined in subsection (b) below) for each Pension Plan Participant (as defined in subsection (d) below) make a Make-Up Contribution credit (determined in accordance with subsection (b) below)
for the benefit of such Pension Plan Participant. The Make-Up Contribution for each Plan Year shall be credited to the Pension Plan Participants Make-Up Contribution Subaccount. The Make-Up Contribution Subaccount shall become vested in
accordance with the following schedule:
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|                           |  |                     |  |                     
|-------------------------- |  | ------------------- |  | --------------------
|Completed Years of Service |  | Vested Participants |  | Forfeited Percentage
|                           |  |                    
|Less than 5 years          |  | 0                   |  | 100%                
|                           |  |                    
|5 or more years            |  | 100%                |  | 0%                  

The Make-Up Contribution
Subaccount shall be credited with interest at the Prime Rate on each Annual Valuation Date based upon the amount credited to such Subaccount as of the preceding Annual Valuation Date and at such other times, if any, as may be determined by the Plan
Administrator. The amounts credited to the Make-up Contribution Subaccount that are part of the Participants Pre-Section 490A Account shall be distributed as provided in Section 5.2 and the amounts that are part of the
Participants Section 409A Account shall be credited to the Retirement Account and distributed as provided in Section 5.1. The Make-Up Contribution for each Plan Year shall be credited on the last day of the Plan Year, unless the
Employer elects to make such credit on an earlier date. In order to be eligible to receive the Make-Up Contribution credit for the Plan Year, the Pension Plan Participant must be actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year and complete a Year
of Service for such year. Any forfeiture of the credits to a Pension Plan Participants Make-Up Contribution Account shall be used to reduce future make-up contribution credits.



|(b) | Amount of Make-Up Contribution Credit - (i) The Make-Up Contribution credit for a Pension Plan Participant for the Plan Year shall be equal to
the Present Value determined as of January 1, 2003 of the Annual Benefit Loss of the Pension Plan Participant divided by the number of years in the Make-Up Contribution Period, adjusted by the Discount Percentage. The Annual Benefit Loss for a
Pension Plan Participant is the difference between (A) the aggregate annual retirement benefit (based upon the assumptions in subsection (b )(ii) below) the Pension Plan Participant was projected to receive at age 62 assuming that the Pension
Plan and the 401(k) Plan (as defined in subsection (d) below) continued in operation in accordance with their terms as in effect on December 31, 2002, and (B) the aggregate annual retirement benefit (based upon the assumptions in
subsection (b)(ii) below) the Pension Plan Participant was projected to receive at age 62 assuming that the Pension Plan is frozen at January 1, 2003 and the 401(k) Plan was amended effective January 1, 2003 to provide for a match of 60%
on Elective Deferrals
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | up to 6% of the Participants Annual Compensation. The Pension Plan Participants Make-Up Contribution Period is the period commencing January 1, 2003 and ending on the last day of
the Plan Year in which the Pension Plan Participant attains age 62. The Present Value of the Annual Benefit Loss shall be determined by taking the amount of the Annual Benefit Loss on the date the Pension Plan Participant attains age 62 and
discounting such amount to January 1, 2003 using an interest rate of 5.12% per year and the mortality table prescribed by the IRS in Rev. Rul. 95-6.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) The Annual Benefit Loss shall be calculated using the following factors and assumptions:



| |  |  | A Pension Plan Participants service and compensation under the Pension Plan are frozen as of December 31, 2002.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The rate of Matching Contributions under the 401 (k) Plan is increased effective January 1, 2003 to 60% on Elective Contributions up to 6% of
a Participants Annual Compensation and the Pension Plan Participant will make sufficient Elective Deferrals to receive the maximum Matching Contributions.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A Pension Plan Participants Annual Compensation is his or her Annual Compensation for 2000, with an increase rate of 3% per year.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pension Plan Participants Matching Contribution Account Balance in the 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2001, will be projected to age 62 with
earnings of 6% per year.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 401 (k) Plan compensation limit of $200,000 applies for 2002 and prior years and will increase by 3% per year.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Annuity and lump sum conversions are based upon a 5.12% annual interest rate and the mortality table prescribed by the IRS in Rev. Rul. 95-6.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The annual retirement benefit from the 401(k) Plan is based solely upon the Pension Plan Participants Matching Contribution Account (adjusted as
provided herein) and not the individuals other accounts under Section 4.1 of the 401(k) Plan.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) The Make-Up Contribution to be credited to a Pension Plan Participant for a Plan Year shall be increased over the amount credited for the prior Plan Year by the Discount Percentage to account for the
passage of a year and the related foregone interest earnings potential.



|(c) | Change of Eligible Status - If a Pension Plan Participant is treated as a Highly Compensated Employee under the 401(k) Plan for a Plan Year (or would be treated
as a Highly Compensated Employee if he were eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan for such Plan Year), the Pension Plan Participant shall be eligible to receive a Make-Up Contribution credit for such Plan Year. If the Pension Plan Participant
who is a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year ceases to be a Highly Compensated Employee for a subsequent Plan Year, then the Pension Plan Participant shall be ineligible to receive a Make-Up Contribution credit for such later Plan Year. If a
Pension Plan Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan for a Plan Year, the Pension Plan Participant shall not be eligible to receive a Make-Up Contribution for such Plan Year.

the Acuity Brands SERP). The Participants SERP Contribution Period is the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of the date of the Participants Termination of Service, date of the Participants Death or
the last day of the Plan Year in which the SERP Plan Participant attains age 60. The Present Value of the Annual Benefit Loss as of any Determination Date shall be determined by taking the present value amount of such Annual Benefit Loss on the date
