#### Adoption of 2023 Award Formula under the Company's Key Officers Incentive Plan
On March 10, 2023 the Human Resources and Compensation Committee ("*HRC Committee*") adopted the 2023 Award Formula (the "*2023 Award Formula*") under the Key Officers Incentive Plan ("*KOIP*"). Our executive officers earn an annual cash incentive paid under the KOIP, based on achieving certain performance objectives for the year. The 2023 Award Formula is applicable to the Company's executive officers, including the named executive officers listed below. Under the 2023 Award Formula, an executive officer is eligible to receive a cash award calculated by multiplying the executive's annual base salary at the end of the year by a target percentage set by the HRC Committee ("*Target Percentage*"), then applying weighted achievement percentages for the Performance Objectives. Reference is made to the Company's [Form 8-K](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/../../../ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/58492/000119312523046623/d461901d8k.htm) filed February 23, 2023 for the named executive officer's 2023 annual base salaries and 2023 KOIP Target Percentages. Corporate Participants and Profit Center Participants have separate award calculations based on factors defined in the 2023 Award Formula as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Participant Type** | **Performance Objectives** | **Relative<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Weight&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** |
|  Corporate Participants<br> (*Dolloff, Glassman, Tate & Douglas*) | Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and<br> Amortization (EBITDA) | 65% |
|  | Cash Flow | 35% |
|  Profit Center Participants<br> (*Hagale<sup>1</sup> & Henderson*) | EBITDA | 65% |
|  | Free Cash Flow (FCF) | 35% |

---

------

<sup>1</sup> Mr. Hagale is included in this report because he is expected to be a named executive officer in the Company's 2023 Proxy Statement.

**Corporate Participants**. J. Mitchell Dolloff (*President & CEO*), Karl G. Glassman (*Executive Chairman*), Jeffrey L. Tate (*EVP & CFO*) and Scott S. Douglas (*SVP – General Counsel & Secretary*) are Corporate Participants. Awards for Corporate Participants are determined by the Company's aggregate 2023 financial results. No awards will be paid for EBITDA achievement below $443.25 million or Cash Flow below $370.50 million. The maximum payout percentages for EBITDA and Cash Flow achievement are each capped at 200%.

Below are the 2023 Corporate Targets and Payout Schedule. Payouts will be interpolated for achievement levels falling between those in the schedule. Financial results from acquisitions are excluded from the calculations in the year of acquisition. Financial results from divestitures will be included in the calculations; however, the EBITDA and Cash Flow targets relating to the divested businesses will be prorated to reflect only that portion of the year prior to the divestiture. Financial results from businesses classified as discontinued operations will be included in the calculations. Financial results will exclude (i) certain currency and hedging-related gains and losses, (ii) gains and losses from asset disposals, and (iii) items that are outside the scope of the Company's core, on-going business activities. EBITDA and Cash Flow are adjusted for all items of gain, loss or expense for the fiscal year, as determined in accordance with GAAP, (i) from non-cash impairments, (ii) related to loss contingencies identified in footnotes to the financial statements in the Company's 2022 Form 10-K, (iii) related to the disposal of a segment of a business, or (iv) related to a change in accounting principle.

**Profit Center Participants**. J. Tyson Hagale (*EVP, President – Bedding Products*) and Steven K. Henderson (*EVP, President – Specialized Products and Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products*) are Profit Center Participants. Achievement for EBITDA and FCF targets for Profit Center Participants is determined by aggregate 2023 financial results for the Profit Centers for which the participant is responsible. For Profit Center Participants, no awards are paid for achievement below 75% of the EBITDA and FCF targets. The EBITDA and FCF payouts are each capped at 200%.

Below are the 2023 Profit Center Targets and Profit Center Payout Schedule for Mr. Hagale and Mr. Henderson. Payouts will be interpolated for achievement levels falling between those in the schedule. Financial results for each profit center may include a critical compliance adjustment, ranging from a potential 5% increase for exceptional safety performance to a 20% deduction for critical compliance failures. Financial results from acquisitions are excluded from the calculations in the year of acquisition. Financial results from divestitures will be included in the calculations; however, the EBITDA and FCF targets relating to the divested businesses will be prorated to reflect only the portion of the year prior to the divestiture. Financial results from businesses classified as discontinued operations will be included in the calculations.

Financial results will exclude (i) results from non-operating branches, (ii) certain currency and hedging-related gains and losses, (iii) gains and losses from asset disposals, (iv) items that are outside the scope of the Company's core, on-going business activities or relating to any other special events or change in business conditions, and (v) the impact of corporate allocations. EBITDA and FCF are adjusted for all items of gain, loss or expense for the fiscal year, as determined in accordance with GAAP, (i) from non-cash impairments, (ii) related to loss contingencies identified in footnotes to the financial statements in the Company's 2022 Form 10-K, (iii) related to the disposal of a segment of a business, or (iv) related to a change in accounting principle.

The 2023 Award Formula was adopted pursuant to the Company's [2020 Key Officers Incentive Plan](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/58492/000119312520041866/d892027dex101.htm), effective January 1, 2020, filed February 19, 2020 as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Form 8-K.

#### Amendments to the Company's Form of Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement
On March 10, 2023, the HRC Committee amended the Company's Form of Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (the *"2023 Form of PSU Award"*).

------

Prior to the amendment, the form of PSU award provided that PSUs vest at the end of a three-year performance period (the *"Performance Period"*), based upon two performance objectives:

**Relative TSR**. Fifty percent (50%) of each PSU award vested based upon the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("*TSR*") compared to a peer group consisting of all the companies in the Industrial, Consumer Discretionary, and Materials sectors of the S&P 500 and S&P 400. TSR is calculated as:

(Ending Stock Price – Beginning Stock Price + Reinvested Dividends) / Beginning Stock Price

The "*Beginning Stock Price*" is the average closing share price of the Company's stock for the last 20 trading days prior to the Performance Period. The "*Ending Stock Price*" is the average closing share price of the Company's stock for the last 20 trading days within the Performance Period.

**EBIT CAGR**. Fifty percent (50%) of each PSU award vested based upon the Company's (for Dolloff, Glassman, Tate, and Douglas) or the Bedding Products Segment's (for Hagale), or the Specialized Products and Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products Segments' (for Henderson) compound annual growth rate ("*CAGR*") of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ("*EBIT*") during the third fiscal year of the Performance Period compared to the Company's (or applicable segments') EBIT in the fiscal year immediately preceding the Performance Period.

The payout percentage under the prior form of PSU award ranged from 0% to 200% of the base award of PSUs as determined by the level of achievement of Relative TSR and EBIT CAGR. However, in the event that the Company's TSR for the Performance Period was negative (Ending Stock Price plus Reinvested Dividends was less than Beginning Stock Price), the Relative TSR vesting percentage was capped at 100%. The vesting schedules, including the thresholds and caps for Relative TSR and EBIT CAGR, and terms and conditions regarding the calculation of Relative TSR and EBIT CAGR can be found in the [2021 Form of PSU Award Agreement](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/58492/000005849221000015/legex1042021formofpsuaward.htm) filed May 6, 2021 as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company's Form 10-Q.

Pursuant to the amendment, the HRC Committee changed the performance criteria in the 2023 Form of PSU Award. The 2023 Form of PSU Award includes two performance objectives. The executives' base payout percentage will be determined by the level of achievement of these performance objectives, but will be adjusted by applying a multiplier based on Relative TSR. The payout percentage is capped at 200%.

**EBITDA**. Fifty percent (50%) of the award will be based on the Company's total Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("*EBITDA*") during the three-year Performance Period.

**ROIC**. Fifty percent (50%) of the award will be based on the Company's Return on Invested Capital ("*ROIC*") during the three-year Performance Period. ROIC is calculated as (i) the Company's average net operating profit after tax in the first, second and third years of the Performance Period divided by (ii) the Company's average Invested Capital on the last day of the fiscal year immediately preceding the Performance Period and the last day of the first, second and third years of the Performance Period. "*Invested Capital*" is the sum of shareholder equity, long-term debt and short-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents.

**Relative TSR Multiplier**. The combined EBITDA and ROIC results are subject to a payout multiplier based upon the Company's Total Shareholder Return compared to a peer group over the Performance Period ("*Relative TSR*"). Relative TSR is calculated with the same peer group and in the same manner as disclosed above. There is a 25% reduction (a multiplier of 0.75) in the payout if the Company's Relative TSR ranks in the bottom quartile, a 25% increase (a multiplier of 1.25) if the Company's Relative TSR ranks in the top quartile, and an adjustment determined on a linear basis if the Company's Relative TSR ranks in between these levels. The Relative TSR multiplier cannot be applied to make the award's total payout exceed the maximum 200%, and, if the Company's absolute TSR for the Performance Period is negative (Ending Stock Price plus Reinvested Dividends is less than Beginning Stock Price), application of the Relative TSR multiplier may not increase the Award's total payout above 100%.

The base payout percentage is determined by the level of achievement of EBITDA and ROIC according to the schedules below.

------

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **EBITDA**<br> **$** | **EBITDA**<br> **Vesting%** |  | **ROIC**<br> **Achievement%** | **ROIC**<br> **Payout%** |
| <$1,415.25M | 0% |  | <8.5% | 0% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1,415.25M | 50% | Threshold | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5% | 50% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1,887.00M | 100% | Target | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.0% | 100% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$2,358.75M | 200% | Maximum | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.5% | 200% |

---

Payouts will be interpolated for results falling between the levels shown. The base payout percentage will be adjusted by applying the Relative TSR multiplier as determined by the Company's Relative TSR percentage during the Performance Period according to the following schedule.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Relative**<br> **TSR**<br> **Percentile** | **Relative**<br> **TSR**<br> **Multiplier** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;75<sup>th</sup> | 1.25 |
|  >75<sup>th</sup> | 1.25 |

---

The multiplier will be interpolated for results falling between the levels shown. The terms and conditions related to the calculations of EBITDA and ROIC can be found in the <u>2023 Form of PSU Award</u> attached hereto and incorporated herein as [Exhibit 10.4](d822385dex104.htm).

#### General Terms and Conditions
The PSUs normally vest on the last day of the Performance Period. Generally, if the executive has a separation from service, other than for retirement, death, or disability, before the PSUs vest, they are immediately forfeited. In the event of retirement, the award will vest at the end of the Performance Period and will be prorated for the number of days employed during the Performance Period prior to termination. Retirement is defined as a termination other than for cause occurring on or after age 65, or the combination of the executive's age and years of service being greater than or equal to 70 years. In the case of termination due to death or disability, the award will vest immediately at 100% of the base award.

Fifty percent (50%) of the vested PSU award will be paid out in cash, and the Company intends to pay out the remaining fifty percent (50%) in shares of Company common stock, although the Company reserves the right, except for distributions to persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to pay up to one hundred percent (100%) in cash. The awards will be paid following the end of the Performance Period but no later than March 15 of the year following the Performance Period. Cash will be paid equal to the number of vested PSUs multiplied by the closing market price of Company common stock on the last business day of the Performance Period. Shares will be issued on a one-to-one basis for vested PSUs. Both the amount of cash paid and number of shares issued will be reduced for applicable tax withholding. PSUs may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered, and have no voting or dividend rights.

Under certain circumstances, if a change in control of the Company occurs and the executive's employment is terminated, the PSU award will vest and the executive will receive a 200% payout. Also, if within 24 months of payment, the Company is required to restate previously reported financial results, the executive must repay any amounts paid in excess of the amount that would have been paid based on the restated financials. Finally, the PSU awards contain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants during employment and generally for one year after payout.

------

The foregoing is only a summary of the 2023 Form of Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the <u>2023 Form of PSU Award</u>, which is attached as [Exhibit 10.4](d822385dex104.htm) to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

#### Grant of Long-Term Incentive Awards to Named Executive Officers
Each year equity-based long-term incentive ("*LTI*") awards are granted to our named executive officers and other executives of the Company. Each named executive officer has an LTI award multiple (approved by the HRC Committee), which, except as noted below, is allocated between performance stock units ("*PSUs*") making up sixty percent (60%) of the overall 2023 LTI award and restricted stock units ("*RSUs*") making up forty percent (40%) of the overall 2023 LTI award. The number of PSUs and RSUs to be granted to each executive was determined by multiplying the executive's 2023 annual base salary by the executive's respective LTI award multiple and dividing this amount by the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the 10 trading days following the 2022 fourth quarter earnings release, which was $34.365 per share. Reference is made to the Company's [Form 8-K](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/../../../ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/58492/000119312523046623/d461901d8k.htm) filed February 23, 2023 for the named executive officer's 2023 annual base salaries and 2023 LTI award multiples.

<u>Grant of Performance Stock Units</u>. On March 10, 2023, the HRC Committee granted a base award of PSUs to each of our named executive officers under the <u>2023 Form of PSU Award</u> in the amounts shown below.

In the event of retirement, the RSUs continue to vest on each of the vesting dates. Upon vesting, each RSU is converted into one share of Company common stock and distributed, subject to reduction for required tax withholding.

For the general terms and conditions of the RSU award, reference is made to the [2021 Form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/58492/000119312521054074/d136701dex106.htm), filed February 24, 2021 as Exhibit 10.6 to the Company's Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 10.1

Exhibit 10.1

**2023 AWARD FORMULA** 

**FOR THE** 

**2020 KEY OFFICERS INCENTIVE PLAN** 

The 2020 Key Officers Incentive Plan (the "*Plan*") provides cash Awards to Participants based on achievement of Performance Objectives for a specified Performance Period. Capitalized terms not defined in this document have the meaning ascribed under the Plan.

Participants in the Plan are the Section 16 Officers of the Company. There are separate Award Formulas under the Plan for Corporate Participants and Profit Center Participants. Under both formulas, a Participant's Award is calculated by reference to the Target Percentage of the Participant's base salary at the end of the Performance Period. The Award Formulas and each Participant's Target Percentage are determined by the Committee.

For the Performance Period commencing January 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2023, Awards under the Plan will be determined by achievement of the following Performance Objectives.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Participant Type** | **Performance Objectives** | **Relative**<br> **Weight** |
|  Corporate Participants | Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization (EBITDA) | 65% |
|  | Cash Flow | 35% |
|  Profit Center Participants | Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization (EBITDA) | 65% |
|  | Free Cash Flow (FCF) | 35% |

---

**<u>Award Formula for Corporate Participants</u>**

EBITDA and Cash Flow for Corporate Participants are calculated as follows:

---

| |
|:---|
| **EBITDA** = Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization |
| **Cash Flow** =<br> Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) ± Change in Working Capital<sup>1</sup> + Non-Cash Impairments – Capital Expenditures |

---

<sup>1</sup> Change in Working Capital, excluding cash and current maturities of long-term debt, from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023, as reflected on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets

Achievement of EBITDA and Cash Flow targets for Corporate Participants is determined by the Company's aggregate 2023 financial results. Financial results from acquisitions are excluded from calculations in the year of acquisition. Financial results from businesses divested during the year will be included in the calculations; however, the EBITDA and Cash Flow targets relating to the divested businesses will be prorated to reflect only that portion of the year prior to the divestiture. Financial results from businesses classified as discontinued operations will be included in the calculations. Financial results will exclude (i) certain currency and hedging-related gains and losses, (ii) gains and losses from asset disposals, and (iii) items that are outside the scope of the Company's core, on-going business activities.

------

EBITDA and Cash Flow shall be adjusted for all items of gain, loss or expense for the fiscal year, as determined in accordance with standards established under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (i) from non-cash impairments; (ii) related to loss contingencies identified in footnotes to the financial statements in the Company's 2022 10-K; (iii) related to the disposal of a segment of a business; or (iv) related to a change in accounting principle.

Achievement targets and payout percentages for Corporate Participants' EBITDA and Cash Flow are set forth below. No Awards are paid for EBITDA achievement below $443.25 million or Cash Flow below $370.50 million. The EBITDA and Cash Flow payouts are each capped at 200%. Payouts will be interpolated for achievement levels falling between those set out in the schedule.

**<u>Award Formula for Profit Center Participants</u>**

---

| |
|:---|
| **EBITDA** = Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization |
| **FCF** =<br> EBITDA (adjusted for currency effects) ± Change in Working Capital<sup>1</sup> + Non-Cash Impairments – Capital Expenditures |

---

<sup>1</sup> Change in Working Capital from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023, excluding cash, current maturities of long-term debt, and balance sheet items not directly related to on-going Profit Center activity, such as interest receivable and payable, income tax receivable and payable, current deferred taxes assets and liabilities, and dividends payable.

Achievement of EBITDA and FCF targets for Profit Center Participants is determined by aggregate 2023 financial results for the Profit Centers for which the Participant is responsible. Financial results from acquisitions are excluded from calculations in the year of acquisition. Financial results from businesses divested during the year will be included in the calculations; however, the EBITDA and FCF targets relating to the divested businesses will be prorated to reflect only that portion of the year prior to the divestiture. Financial results from businesses classified as discontinued operations will be included in the calculations. Financial results will exclude (i) results from non-operating branches, (ii) certain currency and hedging-related gains and losses, (iii) gains and losses from asset disposals, (iv) items that are outside the scope of the Company's core, on-going business activities or relating to any other special events or change in business conditions, and (v) the impact of corporate allocations.

EBITDA and FCF shall be adjusted for all items of gain, loss or expense for the fiscal year, as determined in accordance with standards established under Generally Accepted Accounting

------

Principles, (i) from non-cash impairments; (ii) related to loss contingencies identified in footnotes to the financial statements in the Company's 2022 10-K; (iii) related to the disposal of a segment of a business; or (iv) related to a change in accounting principle.

Financial results for each Profit Center may include a critical compliance adjustment, ranging from a potential 5% increase for exceptional safety performance to a 20% deduction for critical compliance failures.

Achievement targets and payout percentages for the Profit Center Participant's EBITDA and FCF are set forth below. No Awards are paid for achievement below 75% of the EBITDA and FCF targets. The EBITDA and FCF payouts are each capped at 200%. The payout will be interpolated for achievement levels falling between those set out in the schedule.

## Exhibit 10.4

Exhibit 10.4

**2023 FORM OF PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT** 

**(3-Year Performance Period)** 

Congratulations! On ____________, [2023], Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the "*Company*") granted you a Performance Stock Unit Award (the "*Award*") under the Company's Flexible Stock Plan (the "*Plan*"). The Award is granted subject to the enclosed *Terms and Conditions – [2023-2025] Performance Stock Unit Award* (the "*Terms and Conditions*").

You have been granted a base award of Performance Stock Units as reflected in your Morgan Stanley account. The number of PSUs for your base Award was determined by multiplying your current annual base salary by your Award multiple (set by Senior Management and approved by the Compensation Committee) and dividing this amount by the average closing share price of the Company's stock for the 10 trading days following the [2022] fourth quarter earnings release.

A percentage of your base award, not to exceed 200%, will vest on December 31, [2025] and will be paid out by March 15, [2026]. Fifty percent of your vested Award will be paid out in cash, and the Company intends to distribute the remaining 50% in shares of the Company's common stock.

As described in the Terms and Conditions, the payout percentage for this Award depends on the level of achievement of two performance objectives over the three-year performance period, as adjusted by a payout multiplier. 50% of your Award is based upon the Company's Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("*EBITDA*"), and 50% is based upon the Company's Return on Invested Capital ("*ROIC*"), according to the schedules below.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **EBITDA**<br> **$** | **EBITDA**<br> **Vesting %** | | **ROIC%** | **ROIC** <br> **Vesting %**  |
|  <$1,415.25M | 0% |  | <8.5% | 0% |
|  $1,415.25M | 50% | Threshold | 8.5% | 50% |
|  $1,887.00M | 100% | Target | 10.0% | 100% |
|  $2,358.75M | 200% | Maximum | 11.5% | 200% |

---

The combined EBITDA and ROIC results are subject to a payout multiplier based upon the Company's Total Shareholder Return compared to a peer group over the three-year performance period ("*Relative TSR*"). As shown below, there will be a 25% reduction (a multiplier of 0.75) in your payout if our Relative TSR ranks in the bottom quartile, a 25% increase (a multiplier of 1.25) if we rank in the top quartile, and an adjustment determined on a linear basis if we rank in between these levels.

This award letter and the enclosed materials are part of a prospectus covering securities that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete.

------

The Relative TSR multiplier cannot be applied to make the Award's total payout exceed the maximum 200%, and, if the Company's absolute TSR for the performance period is negative, application of the Relative TSR multiplier may not increase the Award's total payout above 100%.

You are not required to accept the Award. By signing below, you confirm that you understand and agree that this Award of Performance Stock Units is granted in exchange for you agreeing to the Terms and Conditions and the Plan, that the Terms and Conditions and the Plan are included in this Agreement by reference, and that you are not otherwise entitled to the Award. A summary of the Plan and the Company's most recent Annual Report to Shareholders are available upon request to the Corporate Human Resources Department.

**2023-2025 TERMS AND CONDITIONS - PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD** 

1. *<u>Performance Period</u>* . Your payout under this Performance Stock Unit Award (the "*Award* ")
will depend on (*i*) the base award shown on your Award Agreement and (*ii*) the Company's, or applicable Profit Centers', performance during the three-year period beginning January 1, [2023] and ending
December 31, [2025] (the "*Performance Period* ").

2. *<u>Performance Objectives and Payout Multiplier</u>* . The payout under this Award is based upon the level of
achievement of two performance objectives and a payout multiplier. The "*Base Payout Percentage*" of your Award is the aggregate of (i) 50% based upon the vesting percentage for the Company's Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization ()"*EBITDA*") and (ii) 50% based upon the vesting percentage for the Company's Return on Invested Capital ()"*ROIC* "). The Base Payout Percentage will be adjusted by the Relative TSR
Multiplier (described below) to determine your Award's final payout percentage. The maximum payout percentage for the Award is 200%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. <u>EBITDA</u>. EBITDA during the Performance Period is the total earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ()"*EBITDA*") for the Company during the three-year Performance Period.

The calculation of EBITDA will include results from businesses acquired during the Performance Period. EBITDA will exclude results for any businesses divested during the Performance Period. EBITDA will exclude (i) certain currency and hedging-related gains and losses, (ii) gains and losses from asset disposals, (iii) items that are outside the scope of the Company's core, on-going business activities, and (iv) with respect to Profit Centers, all amounts relating to corporate allocations. EBITDA will be adjusted to eliminate gain, loss or expense, as determined in accordance with standards established under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (i) from non-cash impairments; (ii) related to loss contingencies identified in footnotes to the financial statements in the Company's 10-K relating to the fiscal year immediately preceding the Performance Period; (iii) related to the disposal of a segment of a business; or (iv) related to a change in accounting principle.

The 50% of your Base Payout Percentage allocated to EBITDA will be determined according to the following schedule. Payouts will be interpolated for results falling between the levels shown.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **EBITDA**<br> **$** |  | **EBITDA** <br> **Vesting %**  |
|  <$1,415.25M |  | 0% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1,415.25M | Threshold | 50% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1,887.00M | Target | 100% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$2,358.75M | Maximum | 200% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. <u>ROIC</u>. ROIC during the Performance Period is (i) the Company's average net operating profit after tax
in the first, second and third years of the Performance Period divided by (ii) the Company's average Invested Capital on the last day of the fiscal year immediately preceding the Performance Period and the last day of the first, second and
third years of the Performance Period. "*Invested Capital*" is the sum of shareholder equity, long-term debt and short-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents.

The calculation of ROIC, or ROIC targets shown in the table below, may be modified to reflect the impact from businesses acquired or divested during the Performance Period. ROIC will exclude (i)

------

certain currency and hedging-related gains and losses, (ii) gains and losses from asset disposals, and (iii) items that are outside the scope of the Company's core, on-going business activities. ROIC will be adjusted to eliminate gain, loss or expense, as determined in accordance with standards established under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (i) from non-cash impairments; (ii) related to loss contingencies identified in footnotes to the financial statements in the Company's 10-K relating to the fiscal year immediately preceding the Performance Period; (iii) related to the disposal of a segment of a business; or (iv) related to a change in accounting principle.

The 50% of your Base Payout Percentage allocated to ROIC will be determined according to the following schedule. Payouts will be interpolated for results falling between the levels shown.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**ROIC** <br> **Achievement** |  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**ROIC** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Payout**  |

|  8.5% | Threshold | 50% |
|  10.0% | Target | 100% |
|  11.5% | Maximum | 200% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Relative TSR Modifier. Your Base Payout Percentage will be adjusted by applying the Relative TSR Multiplier determined
by the Company's Relative TSR percentile during the Performance Period, according to the following schedule. The multiplier will be interpolated for results falling between the levels shown.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Relative**<br> **TSR**<br> **Percentile** | **Relative**<br> **TSR**<br> **Multiplier** |
|  <25<sup>th</sup> | 0.75 |
| 25<sup>th</sup> | 0.75 |
| 50<sup>th</sup> | 1.00 |
| 75<sup>th</sup> | 1.25 |
|  >75<sup>th</sup> | 1.25 |

---

The Award's maximum 200% payout percentage cannot by exceeded by application of the Relative TSR Multiplier. In addition, in the event the Company's TSR for the Performance Period is negative (Ending Stock Price plus Reinvested Dividends is less than the Beginning Stock Price), application of the Relative TSR Multiplier may not increase the Award's final payout above 100%.

To determine the Company's Relative TSR percentile rank, the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("*TSR*") during the Performance Period will be compared to the TSR of all the companies in the Industrial, Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors of the S&P 500 and the S&P 400 (the "*Peer Group*"). TSR is calculated as follows and assumes dividends are reinvested on the ex-dividend date:

<u>Ending Stock Price – Beginning Stock Price + Reinvested Dividends</u> 

Beginning Stock Price

------

The "*Beginning Stock Price*" is the average closing share price of the Company's stock for the last 20 trading days prior to the Performance Period. The "*Ending Stock Price*" is the average closing share price of the Company's stock for the last 20 trading days within the Performance Period.

3. *<u>Vesting of Award and Form of Payout</u>.* With the exception of early vesting for circumstances
described in Sections 4 and 5, this Award will vest on December 31, [2025] (the "*Vesting Date* "). Fifty percent (50%) of your vested Award will be paid out in cash (the "*Cash Portion* "), and the Company intends
to pay out the remaining fifty percent (50%) in shares of the Company's common stock (the "*Stock Portion* "), although the Company reserves the right, except for distributions to persons subject to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to pay up to one hundred percent (100%) of the vested Award in cash. Your vested Award will be paid out as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Performance Period but in no event later than
March 15, [2026] (the "*Payout Date* "). On the Payout Date, the Company will issue to you (i) one share of the Company's common stock for each vested Performance Stock Unit comprising the Stock Portion of your Award,
subject to reduction for tax withholding, and (ii) a check with a gross value equal to the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the last business day of the Performance Period (or the date of the Change of Control if
Section 5 applies) times the number of vested Performance Stock Units comprising the Cash Portion of your Award, subject to reduction for tax withholding as described in Section 8.

4. *<u>Termination of Employment</u>* .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Except as provided in Section 4(b), Section 4(c), and Section 5, if your employment is terminated for
any reason before the Vesting Date, your right to this Award will terminate immediately upon such termination of employment. Termination of employment and similar terms when used in this Award refer to a termination of employment that constitutes a
separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. If your termination of employment during the Performance Period is due to Retirement (as defined below), your Award
will vest at the end of the Performance Period and will be prorated for the number of days during the Performance Period prior to your termination.

"*Retirement*" means a termination, other than for Cause (as defined below), occurring (*i*) on or after age 65, or (*ii*) on or after the date at which the combination of your age and your years of service with the Company or any company or division acquired by the Company is greater than or equal to 70 years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. If your termination of employment during the Performance Period is due to death or Disability (as defined below), your
Award will vest immediately at 100% of your Base Award and be payable within 60 days of such event.

"*Disability*" means the inability to substantially perform your duties and responsibilities by reason of any accident or illness that can be expected to result in death or to last for a continuous period of not less than one year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. The employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while you are on military, sick leave or other bona
fide leave of absence if (i) the Company does not terminate the employment relationship or (ii) your right to re-employment is guaranteed by statute or by contract.

5*.* *<u>Change in Control</u>* . If, during the Performance Period, a Change in Control of the Company (as
defined in the Flexible Stock Plan, the "*Plan*") occurs and your employment is terminated either (i) by the

------

Company (for reasons other than Disability or Cause, as defined below) or (ii) by you for Good Reason (as defined below), then the Company (or its successor) will issue to you 200% of your Base Award, within thirty (30) days following your termination of employment (subject to delay until the first day of the first month that is more than six months following your separation from service to the extent required in Section 16.7 of the Plan, if you are a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. *<u>Termination by Company for Cause</u>* . Termination for "Cause" under this Agreement shall be
limited to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. Your conviction of any crime involving money or other property of the Company or any of its affiliates (including
entering any plea bargain admitting criminal guilt), or a conviction of any other crime (whether or not involving the Company or any of its affiliates) that constitutes a felony in the jurisdiction involved; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. Your willful act or omission involving fraud, misappropriation, or dishonesty that (i) causes significant injury
to the Company or (ii) results in significant personal enrichment to you at the expense of the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. Your continued, repeated, willful failure to substantially perform your duties; provided, however, that no discharge
shall be deemed for Cause under this subsection (a) unless you first receive written notice from the Company advising you of specific acts or omissions alleged to constitute a failure to perform your duties, and such failure continues after you
have had a reasonable opportunity to correct the acts or omissions so complained of.

A termination shall not be deemed for Cause if, for example, the termination results from the Company's determination that your position is redundant or unnecessary or that your performance is unsatisfactory for reasons not otherwise specified above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. *<u>Termination by Employee for Good Reason</u>* . You may terminate your employment for "*Good Reason*" by giving notice of termination to the Company during the Performance Period following (i) any action or omission by the Company described in this Section or (ii) receipt of notice from the Company of the Company's
intention to take any such action or engage in any such omission.
