MOOG INC.
SHORT TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Effective October 4, 2015

Purpose
The purpose of this Moog Inc. Management Short Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executives serving on the management team of Moog Inc. (the “Company”), and to reward them according to the success of the Company by paying them annual cash bonuses (“Bonuses”) contingent on Company performance. 

General
This Plan supersedes all prior short-term incentive plans.  The senior management team of the Company has full discretion to interpret, amend or modify the Plan at its sole discretion, with the exception of the application of the Plan to executive officers of the Company, which rests with the Executive Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company.  Notwithstanding the formula described below for determining the amount of Bonus awards, the determination to make an award under the Plan and, if made, its allocation, are discretionary.  Further, any payments to executive officers under the Plan are subject to approval by the Committee. 

Plan Year
“Plan Year” refers to the fiscal year of the Company.

Eligibility
A Company employee is eligible to participate in the Plan and receive a Bonus for a Plan Year if the employee:   

		
	•
	is employed in an “eligible position,” that is, as a Company officer or in a management level position determined to be in one of the designated E1-E4 Management Tiers;

		
	•
	is employed in an eligible position at the start of the Plan Year, or is hired or promoted into an eligible position during the Plan Year; and 

		
	•
	except as described below, is employed in an eligible position as a full-time employee on the date payment of the Bonus for a Plan Year is to be made.

Partial Service
The following rules will apply to employees who are employed in an eligible position for only a portion of the Plan Year. In foreign jurisdictions (i.e. outside of the United States of America) modification may be necessary to comply with local laws:

		
	•
	New Hires/Promotions.  An employee who is hired into or promoted into an eligible position during the Plan Year will be eligible to receive a prorated amount of any Bonus earned, based on the number of full months of employment in an eligible position during the Plan Year.

		
	•
	Retirement.  An eligible employee who retires during the Plan Year will be eligible to receive a prorated amount of any Bonus earned, based on the number of full months of employment in an eligible position during the Plan Year, without regard to the requirement that the employee be employed on the payment date. Where retirement occurs before the end of a fiscal year, the employee will receive a prorated bonus based on the number of completed months worked during that year. An employee will be considered a “Retiree” if when at the date on which employment terminates they are at least age 55 and have completed at least 15 years of service or are aged 65 or over. 

		
	•
	Disability.  An eligible employee who receives long-term disability (“LTD”) payments during a Plan Year under a Company LTD Plan or policy will receive a prorated amount of any Bonus earned during the year.  Any Bonus payment earned will be reduced, based on the number of full months the employee is absent on LTD leave during the Plan Year.  LTD leave generally begins after six months of short term disability leave.  An eligible employee will receive employment credit under the Plan while on short term disability leave.

		
	•
	Leave of Absence.  An eligible employee on a Company-approved leave of absence (other than disability leave) that exceeds 90 days will be considered eligible only for the first 90 days of the leave for purposes of calculating Bonus payments.    

Separate Agreement
An eligible employee’s right to a Bonus under this Plan may be superseded by the terms of a separate agreement between the Company and the employee that precludes payment of a Bonus for a Plan Year under certain circumstances or upon the occurrence of certain events. 

Bonus Determinations
Bonuses will be based on both (a) the Company’s year over year percentage improvement in diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), and (b) free cash flow conversion (“FCF”).  Subject to a maximum payment cap, the Bonus amount payable to any eligible employee is determined by multiplying the eligible employee’s base salary by the sum of the following:  (i) the product of the percentage growth in the Company’s EPS for the Plan Year and a multiplier based on the employee’s position, plus (ii) the product of actual FCF performance for the Plan Year and a multiplier based on the employee’s position, as expressed in the following formula:

Base Salary x [(% Increase in EPS x EPS Growth Multiplier) + (Actual % FCF performance x FCF Multiplier)] = Bonus 

The multipliers used in the formula are shown below:
	
				
	Management Tiers
	EPS
Growth
Multiplier
	FCF
Multiplier
	Maximum Payment Cap
(% Base Salary)

	E4
	2.25
	0.075
	60%

	E3
	1.00
	0.033
	35%

	E2
	0.75
	0.025
	30%

	E1
	0.50
	0.017
	25%

The EPS element is a straight multiple of growth, while the FCF element increases or decreases in line with FCF performance above or below 100%.  Any change to this FCF percentage will be established by the Company each year within 90 days of the beginning of the Plan Year.  All Management Tiers will have a maximum payment cap based on a percentage of base salary.  
Base salary means the annualized base rate of pay as of September 30 of the Plan Year, prior to any annual salary increase for the following fiscal year.  Subject to adjustment based on local law, base salary does not included bonuses, family allowances, meal allowances, vacation pay premiums, company car allowances and other perquisites of employment.

The Bonus formula, including multipliers, payment caps and performance goals, may be adjusted [within 90 days of the beginning of any Plan Year] at the discretion of the Committee.  

Time and Form of Payment
Any Bonuses payable with respect to a Plan Year will be paid in a lump sum cash payment following the end of the Plan Year.  Payments will typically be made in December, but in any event will be made no later than March 15 following the end of the Plan Year.   

Miscellaneous
Plan terms for employees in foreign jurisdictions are subject to modification as necessary to comply with local laws.

Bonuses payable under the Plan are subject to any required federal, state, local, foreign and other applicable taxes and withholdings. 

The Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of choice of laws.

Nothing in the Plan confers upon any employee or other person any rights with respect to the continuation of employment by the Company or interferes in any way with the right of the Company at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation payable to the employee from the rate in effect at the commencement of a fiscal year or to otherwise modify the terms of the employee’s employment.  

The Company reserves the right to amend any provision or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. 

The Plan and all Bonuses awarded under the Plan are subject to all applicable policies of the Company, including any recoupment or clawback policy, as may exist from time to time.

2.    Exercise Price.
This Award entitles the Employee to exercise the SARs in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (“Shares”) in the amount determined under Section 8 below.

3.    Vesting.
(a)    General Rule.  The SARs subject to this Award will vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule shown in Section 1 above, subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 6, and 7 below.
(b)    Employment Requirement.  SARs scheduled to vest on a certain date, or upon the occurrence of certain conditions as provided in Sections 6 and 7, will not vest in the Employee unless the Employee has been continuously employed by the Company from the Date of Grant through the vesting date.
4.    Term of SARs.
All unexercised SARs granted under this Award will expire on the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
5.    Committee Discretion.
The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting and exercisability of all or any portion of the unvested SARs at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan.
6.    Effect of Termination of Employment.
If the Employee terminates employment with the Company before all of the SARs granted under this Award have vested and been exercised, subject to Section 4, the following vesting and expiration provisions will apply:
(a)    General Rule:  Termination Before Age 65.  Unless otherwise provided below, on the termination of the Employee’s employment before age 65:
(i)    SARs that have vested and are exercisable at the time of the termination will remain exercisable for a period of 90 days after the termination date, at which time they will expire; and

(b)    Terminations On or After Age 65:  Retirement, Resignation, Involuntary Termination without Cause.  On the termination of the Employee’s employment on or after age 65 for any reason (including retirement, resignation and involuntary termination without Cause) other than for Cause, to the extent the SARs have not previously expired, all of the SARs granted under this Award will immediately become 100% vested and exercisable, and all SARs will remain exercisable for a period of 24 months after the termination date, at which time they will expire.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Employee retires before age 65, the retirement will not result in accelerated vesting of any unvested SARs, and the SARs will expire in accordance with subsection (a) above.
(c)    Termination on Account of Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding the general rule in subsection (a) above, on the termination of the Employee’s employment due to death or Disability, whether before or after age 65, to the extent the SARs have not previously expired, all of the SARs granted under this Award will immediately become 100% vested and exercisable, and all SARs will remain exercisable for a period of 24 months after the termination date, at which time they will expire.
(d)    Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding the general rule in subsection (a) above, if the Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause, all vested and unvested SARs will expire as of the commencement of business on the termination date.
7.    Effect of Change in Control.
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, to the extent they have not previously expired, all of the SARs granted under this Award will immediately become 100% vested and exercisable.  Notwithstanding the general rule in Section 6(a), if the Employee’s employment is terminated within 12 months following a Change in Control, subject to the provisions of Section 12(a) of the Plan, all of the SARs will remain exercisable for a period of 24 months after the termination date, at which time they will expire.
8.    Exercise of SARs.
(a)    In General.  Each vested SAR will be exercisable at any time during the term of the SAR, except that the SARs must be exercised in blocks of at least 300 SARs (unless the exercise is for the entire remaining vested portion of this Award).  The partial exercise of this Award will not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion.  The SARs may be exercised by delivering written notice signed by the Employee (or notice through another previously approved method, such as a web-based or e-mail system) to the Company’s principal office, to the attention of its Treasurer (or the Treasurer’s designee) no more than ten business days in advance of the effective date of the proposed exercise.  The notice must specify the number of SARs being exercised and the effective date of the exercise.  If notice is provided in advance, the business day specified as the exercise date in the notice will be deemed the 

Moog 2014 LTI Plan – SAR A Share Award Agreement – Page - 3

exercise date.  If the exercise date is intended to be the same as the notice date, the notice must be received before the official close of the national securities exchange market on with the Shares are primarily traded.  If notice is received after the official close of the national securities exchange for the date specified as the exercise date, the following business day will be deemed the exercise date.
(b)    Exercise Following Death.  In the event of the Employee’s death, all remaining SARs may be exercised at any time before the expiration or termination of the SARs by the executors or administrators of the Employee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to such exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided the requirements set forth in Section 23 of the Plan are satisfied.
9.    Benefit Upon Exercise.
Upon exercising all or any portion of this Award, the Employee will receive Shares of Class A Common Stock equal in value to:  the number of SARs exercised, multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date, over (ii) the Exercise Price of the SAR.  This calculated value will be divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date to determine the number of Shares that the Employee will receive on exercise, subject to any withholding of Shares in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement.  Fractional Share amounts will be settled in cash.  The Shares payable in settlement of all or any portion of this Award will be issued as soon as practicable following the exercise date of the SARs.  For purposes of this Section, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date will be the closing price per share of the Class A Common Stock on the national securities exchange on which it is traded on the last trading day immediately preceding the exercise date, or as otherwise provided in Section 2(p) of the Plan.
10.    Tax Withholding.
As a condition of this Award, the Employee agrees to pay or make arrangements for the payment to the Company of the amount of any and all federal, state and local income and employment taxes that the Company determines it is required by law to withhold with respect to the SARs.  Payment will be due on the date the Company is required to withhold such taxes.  Unless the Executive Compensation Committee determines otherwise, in its sole discretion, or the Employee elects to make a cash payment to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding requirement the Company will satisfy the withholding requirement in accordance with Section 18 of the Plan by withholding from delivery to the Employee, Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld.  Any tax withholding above the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld must be paid in cash by the Employee.  The Company will provide procedures for Employees electing to make a cash payment to satisfy the withholding requirement.
