	3.	ELECTION TO DEFER 

 3.1    Type and Amount of
Deferral. Each Participant may elect to defer all or a portion of his Compensation into an Option, Stock Units, an L&P Cash Deferral, or any combination of the three. 

3.2    Election. A Participant’s Election must be made on or before December 15th for Compensation relating to the following calendar year, except that newly eligible Participants may (subject to the Company’s insider trading policy) make an Election during the calendar year
within 30 days of first becoming eligible for participation for Compensation earned subsequent to the date of Election. Elections may be modified or withdrawn until such time as an original Election could no longer be made. 

The Committee may provide for Elections at any other times with respect to all or any part of Compensation or Contributions to the extent that
such Elections are consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. 
 3.3    Benefit Plan Contributions and
Payroll Deductions. If Compensation payable after giving effect to a deferral Election will be insufficient to make all Company benefit contributions and required tax withholdings, the Participant must, at the time of the Election, make
arrangements suitable to the Company for the payment of such amounts. 
 3.4    Vesting. Benefits under
the Program vest when the Participant would have been vested in the Compensation but for the election to defer. Benefits not vested will terminate immediately upon a Participant’s termination of employment or, with respect to non-employee directors, termination of service. 
  

	4.	OPTIONS 

 4.1    Number of Options and Exercise
Price. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the number of Option shares granted to a Participant is equal to the nearest number of whole shares determined under the following formula: 

 

					
		  	 Compensation Foregone x 5
	  	
		  	Exercise Price	  	

 “Compensation Foregone” means the Compensation the Participant elected to defer into Options.
The “Exercise Price” for each share covered by an Option is the fair market value of Company stock on the Grant Date. 

4.2    Grant Date. Options will be granted as of December
15th (or the next business day, if December 15th is not a business day) of each year or such other date as the Committee determines (the
“Grant Date”). 
 4.3    Term of Options. The term of an Option will expire 10 years
after the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). 

  
 3 

 4.4    Exercise of Options. Options will be exercisable on March 15th of the year following the year the compensation is earned and vested. (For directors, Options are exercisable on December 31st of the year the
compensation is earned and vested.) However, despite any later specified date for exercise, any vested portion of an Option will become exercisable in full upon the death or Disability of the Participant. An Option may be exercised by delivering
notice to the Company’s captive broker accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the shares purchased. Such payment may be made in cash, by delivering or attesting to ownership of shares of L&P Common Stock or a combination of cash
and Common Stock. No shares will be delivered in connection with an Option exercise unless all amounts required to satisfy tax and any other required withholdings have been paid. 

An Option may be exercised only by a Participant during his life or, in the case of Disability, by his guardian or legal representative. Upon
the death of a Participant, the Option may be exercised by his Beneficiary or, if the Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary, by his legal representative. 

Although the Company intends to settle the Option exercise in stock, notwithstanding any other provision of the Program, the Company reserves
the right, subject to the Committee’s approval, to settle the Option exercise in cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock. If settled in cash, the amount of the payment will be equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Company’s
Flexible Stock Plan) of the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued upon Option exercise. Fair Market Value shall be determined at the date of exercise, in the same manner as if the exercise would have been settled in shares
of Common Stock. 
 4.5    Non-Qualified Options. All Options will
be non-qualified options that are not entitled to special tax treatment under §422 of the Internal Revenue Code. 

4.6    No Shareholders’ Rights. A Participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the
shares covered by his Option until stock has been issued for the shares. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is before the issuance date. 

 

	5.	STOCK UNIT AND L&P CASH DEFERRALS  

 5.1    Stock
Units. An account will be established to track Stock Units for each Participant who elects a Stock Unit deferral. Compensation will be deferred on a bi-weekly basis or as Compensation otherwise would
have been paid, unless the Committee determines otherwise. All deferrals and Dividend Contributions to a Participant’s account will be used to acquire Stock Units at a price equal to 80% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on
the date such deferrals and Dividend Contributions are made. 
 5.2    Dividend Contributions. On the date
a cash dividend is paid on Common Stock, the Company will make a Dividend Contribution equal to the per share cash dividend on the number of Stock Units credited to the Participant’s account on the dividend record date. 

5.3    Stock Unit Distributions. Prior to distribution, Stock Units will be converted to the appropriate
number of whole shares of Common Stock. The Company will make the distributions by January 31st of the elected distribution year. For installment elections, each annual distribution will be equal
to the balance of Stock Units in the Participant’s account divided by the number of payments remaining. 

  
 4 

 The Company will withhold from the shares distributed any amount required to pay applicable taxes
(at the Company’s required withholding rate). Alternatively, the Participant may pay such taxes in cash if he elects to do so before the distribution date. The Company may, at any time, require a Participant to settle the tax liability in cash.

 Although the Company intends to settle Participants’ accounts in stock, notwithstanding any other provision of the Program, the
Company reserves the right, subject to the Committee’s approval, to pay Stock Units in cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock. If settled in cash, the amount of the distribution will be equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the
Company’s Flexible Stock Plan) of the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued. Fair Market Value shall be determined at the date the shares would otherwise have been issued. 

5.4    Interest on L&P Cash Deferral. L&P Cash Deferrals will bear interest at a rate established by
the Committee. The interest will begin accruing on the date the Deferred Compensation would have been paid but for the deferral. Until the Committee determines otherwise, the Chief Financial Officer will determine the interest rates. 

5.5    Timing and Form of Distribution. The Participant will select the timing and form of distribution for
Stock Unit and L&P Cash Deferrals on his Election form. The first payment date may not be earlier than two years after the Election is made or such other date as the Committee determines. The Committee may establish maximum deferral periods and
maximum payout periods. Until otherwise determined, distribution payouts must begin within 10 years of the effective date of the deferral, and all amounts subject to the deferral must be distributed within 10 years of the first distribution payout.

 The Participant may make an election to extend the payout period or change the form of distribution for Stock Unit and L&P Cash
Deferrals, not to exceed any maximum payout period established by the Committee. For purposes of the foregoing, each payout date in an installment distribution election will be treated as a separate election. Unless otherwise permitted under rules
applicable to Section 409A, the election change must be made not less than 12 months before the scheduled payment date and must extend the distribution payment by at least five years. 

5.6    Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion and as permitted under applicable law, authorize an early distribution of a Participant’s vested L&P Cash Deferral or Stock Unit account and cancellation of the Participant’s election. Amounts distributed due to an
Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need. 

5.7    Unsecured Creditor. The Company’s obligation to a Participant for Stock Unit and L&P Cash
Deferrals is a mere promise to pay shares or money in the future and the Participant will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 

5.8    Claims under ERISA. The Committee and the Company’s Secretary will make all determinations
regarding benefits under the Program in accordance with ERISA. 
 If a Participant believes he is entitled to receive a distribution under
the Program and he 

  
 5 

 
does not receive such distribution, he must make a claim in writing to the Committee. The Committee will review the claim. If the claim is denied, the Committee will provide a written notice of
denial within 90 days setting out: the reasons for the denial; provisions of the Program upon which the denial is based; any additional information to perfect the claim and why such information is necessary; the steps to be taken if a review is
sought, including, as applicable, the right to file an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse determination; and the time limits for requesting a review and for review. 

If a claim is denied and the Participant desires a review, he will notify the Secretary in writing within 60 days of the receipt of notice of
denial. In requesting a review, the Participant may review the Program or any related document and submit any written statement he deems appropriate. The Secretary will then review the claim and, if the decision is adverse to the Participant,
provide a written decision within 60 days setting out: the reasons for the denial; provisions of the Program upon which the denial is based; a statement that the Participant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, copies of
documents relied upon in making the decision; and, as applicable, the Participant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 
  

	6.	COMPANY BENEFIT PLANS 

 6.1    Impact on Benefit
Plans. The deferral of Compensation under the Program is not intended to affect other Employer benefit plans in which the Participant is participating or may be eligible to participate. The impact of the Program on other benefits is
described below. 
  

	 	•	 	401(k) Plans – Participation in the Program will reduce compensation eligible for contributions under an Employer 401(k) plan in the year the compensation is earned. 

 

	 	•	 	Executive Stock Unit Program—The amount of payroll deduction for Stock Units under the Company’s Executive Stock Unit Program (“ESU Program”) will be calculated as if no deferral had occurred.
In the case of an ESU Program Participant who defers 100% of Compensation under the Deferred Compensation Program, the Company will make the Matching Contribution and Additional Matching Contribution under the ESU Program as though the full
Participant’s Contribution had been made. 

  

	 	•	 	Discount Stock Plan—Contributions under the Discount Stock Plan will be calculated as if no deferral had occurred. 

  

	 	•	 	Life Insurance and Disability Benefits—To the extent the level of benefits is based upon a Participant’s compensation, Deferred Compensation will be included when it would have otherwise become payable
but for the deferral. 

 6.2    Contributions. Except as provided in Section 6.1, the
Participant must make contributions and payments under all Employer benefit plans in which he is participating in the amounts required as if no deferral had occurred. If there is not sufficient Compensation after deferral from which to withhold
required contributions and payments, the Participant must make arrangements suitable to the Company for payment of the required amounts. 

  
 6 

	7.	ADMINISTRATION 

 7.1    Administration. Except
to the extent the Committee otherwise designates pursuant to Section 7.2(e), the Committee will control and manage the operation and administration of the Program. 

7.2    Committee’s Authority. The Committee will have such authority as may be necessary to discharge
its responsibilities under the Program, including the authority to: (a) interpret the provisions of the Program; (b) adopt rules of procedure consistent with the Program; (c) determine questions relating to Benefits and rights under
the Program; (d) maintain records concerning the Program; (e) designate any Company employee or committee to carry out any of the Committee’s duties, including authority to manage the operation and administration of the Program; and
(f) determine the content and form of the Participant’s Election and all other documents required to carry out the Program. 

7.3    Section 16 Officers and Non-Employee Directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Committee may not delegate its authority with respect to Section 16 Officers, and (ii) the Board of Directors must approve any action related to Benefits for
non-employee directors or advisory directors. 
 7.4    Compliance with
Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Program or in any document issued under the Program, it is intended that the Program will at all times meet the requirements of Section 409A and any regulations or other guidance
issued thereunder, and that the provisions of the Program will be interpreted to meet such requirements. To the extent permitted by Section 409A, the Committee retains the right to delay a Participant distribution if the payment of such
distribution would violate securities laws, eliminate or reduce the Company’s tax deduction by application of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, violate loan covenants or other contractual terms to which the Company is a party,
or otherwise result in material harm to the Company. 
  

	8.	MISCELLANEOUS 

 8.1    Change in Capitalization.
In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, merger, consolidation or other recapitalization of the Company affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Option shares and Exercise Price and the number of Stock Units
credited to a Participant’s account will be appropriately adjusted. 
 8.2    No Right of Employment.
Nothing contained in the Program or in any document issued under the Program will constitute evidence of any agreement or understanding that the Employer will employ or retain the Participant for any period of time or at any particular rate of
compensation. 
 8.3    Beneficiary. A Participant may designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive all
of his Benefits resulting from any deferrals under this Program if he dies. A Participant may change or revoke a designation of a Beneficiary at any time upon written notice to the Company. 

  
 7 

 If a notice of beneficiary is not on file or if the Beneficiary is not living when the Participant dies, the
Participant’s estate will be his Beneficiary. 
 8.4    Transferability. No Benefits or interests
therein may be transferred, assigned or pledged during a Participant’s lifetime. Benefits may not be seized by any creditor of a Participant or Beneficiary or transferred by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. Any
attempted assignment or transfer will be void. However, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow a Participant to transfer Options by way of a bona fide gift. The donee will hold such Options subject to the Program. 

8.5    Binding Effect. The Program will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its
successors and assigns, and each Participant, his heirs, personal representatives, and Beneficiaries. 

8.6    Amendments and Termination. The Company will have the right to amend or terminate the Program at any
time. However, no such amendment or termination will deprive any Participant of the right to receive Benefits previously vested under the Program. 

8.7    Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by ERISA, Missouri law will govern this Program. 

8.8    Data Privacy. The Company may collect and use personal information of Participants to implement and
administer the Program, which may include, without limitation, a Participant’s: employee identification number; first and last names; home and other physical address; email addresses; telephone and fax numbers; organization name, job title, and
department name; reporting hierarchy; work history; performance ratings; and payroll information. The Company may disclose such information to non-agent third parties assisting the Company in administering the
Program. Additional information concerning the Company’s collection and use of personal information is available in the Privacy Policy located on the Company’s intranet site.

([2018-2020]) (the “Terms and Conditions”). 
 You have been granted a base award of
[                ] Performance Stock Units. 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 business days following the [2017] fourth quarter
earnings release. 
 A percentage of your base award will vest on December 31, [2020] and will be paid out by March 15, [2021]. Fifty percent of
your vested Award will be paid out in cash, and the Company intends to pay out the remaining 50% in shares of the Company’s common stock. 
 As
described in the Terms and Conditions, the payout you ultimately receive from this Award depends on the level of achievement of two performance objectives: 50% of your Award will vest based upon on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return
compared to our Peer Group (“Relative TSR”), and 50% of your Award will vest based upon [the Company’s] [the                
Segment’s] compound annual growth rate of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“EBIT CAGR”), according to the schedules below.

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. 

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS - PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD 

[2018-2020] 
  

	1.	Performance Period. 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 Segment’s, performance during the three-year period beginning January 1, [2018] and ending December 31, [2020] (the “Performance Period”). 

 

	2.	Performance Objectives. The payout under this Award is based upon the level of achievement of two performance objectives: 50% of your Award will vest based upon on the Company’s relative Total
Shareholder Return (“Relative TSR”), and 50% of your Award will vest based upon the Company’s, or applicable Segment’s, compound annual growth rate of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“EBIT CAGR”).

  

	 	a.	Relative TSR. 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: 

Stock Price at End of Period – Stock Price at Beginning of Period + Reinvested Dividends 

Stock Price at Beginning of Period 

The 50% of your Award allocated to Relative TSR will vest according to the following schedule. Payouts will be interpolated for results
falling between the levels shown.

	 	b.	EBIT CAGR. EBIT CAGR during the Performance Period will be the compound annual growth rate of the total earnings before income and taxes (“EBIT”) for the Company, or applicable Segment(s), during
the third fiscal year of the Performance Period compared to the Base Year EBIT. “Base Year EBIT” is the total EBIT of the Company, or applicable Segment, during the fiscal year immediately preceding the Performance Period.

 The calculation of EBIT CAGR will include results from businesses acquired during the Performance Period. EBIT CAGR will
exclude results for any businesses divested during the Performance Period, and the divested businesses’ EBIT will also be deducted from Base Year EBIT. EBIT CAGR will exclude (i) results from
non-operating branches, (ii) certain currency and 

  
 2 

 
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, and (v) with respect to Segments, all amounts relating to corporate allocations. EBIT CAGR 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 Award allocated to EBIT CAGR will vest according to the following schedule. Payouts will be interpolated for
results falling between the levels shown.

 If, during the Performance Period, your responsibilities shift due to a transfer or a corporate restructuring
(a “Reassignment”), the 50% of your Award allocated to EBIT CAGR will be reallocated as follows: 
 (i) You will have EBIT
CAGR results calculated for any full calendar year(s) during the Performance Period completed prior to the Reassignment based upon the Company, or applicable Segment(s), identified in your original Award Agreement. 

(ii) You will have EBIT CAGR results calculated for the calendar year in which the Reassignment occurs, and any subsequent calendar year(s)
during the Performance Period, based upon the Company, or applicable Segment(s), according to your responsibilities following the Reassignment. 

(iii)The vesting percentage for the EBIT CAGR portion of your Award will be the weighted average of the results calculated under paragraphs
(i) and (ii). 
  

	3.	Vesting of Award and Form of Payout. With the exception of early vesting for circumstances described in Sections 4 and 5, this Award will vest on December 31, [2020] (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, subject to approval by the Committee (as defined below), 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, [2021] (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. 

  
 3 

	4.	Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	a.	Except as provided in Section 4(b) 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

Any dispute by a party hereto regarding a notice of termination delivered to such party must be conveyed to the other party within 30 days
