Karl G. Glassman Severance Benefit Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.2 
  
 November 1, 2005 
  
 SEVERANCE BENEFIT AGREEMENT 
  
 This Severance Benefit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of November 1, 2005 between Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, No. 1 Leggett Road, Carthage, Missouri 64836 (the
“Company”) and Karl G. Glassman (the “Executive”), residing at 9732 Early Lane, Carthage, Missouri 64836. 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 The Executive functions as Executive Vice President of the Company on the date hereof and is one of the key employees of the Company. 
  
 The Company considers the maintenance of sound and vital management essential
to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In this connection, the Company recognizes that in today’s business environment the possibility of a change in control of the Company may exist in the future.
The Company further recognizes that such possibility, and the uncertainty which it may raise among key executives, could result in the departure or distraction of key executives to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders. Accordingly, the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate steps should be taken (i) to further induce the Executive to remain with the Company and (ii) to reinforce and encourage the continued
attention and dedication of the Executive to his assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable considerations, the receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Change in Control; Employment Agreement 

  
 1.1 Change in Control. The Company may be required to provide certain benefits to the Executive under this Agreement following each and
every “Change in Control” of the Company. 
  
 A
“Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
  

	 	(a)	There is any change in control as contemplated by (i) Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A, Regulation 14A, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) or (ii) Item 5.01 of Form 8-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act; or 

  

	 	(b)	 Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the 

  

 1 

	 	 
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

  

	 	(c)	Those persons serving as directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement (the “Original Directors”) and/or their Successors do not constitute a majority of
the whole Board of Directors of the Company (the term “Successors” shall mean those directors whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders has been approved by the vote of at least two-thirds of the
Original Directors and previously qualified Successors serving as directors of the Company at the time of such election or nomination for election); or 

  

	 	(d)	The Company shall be a party to a merger or consolidation with another corporation and as a result of such merger or consolidation, less than 75% of the outstanding voting
securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the former shareholders of the Company as the same shall have existed immediately prior to such merger or consolidation; or 

  

	 	(e)	The Company liquidates, sells, or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a person not controlled by the Company both immediately prior to and immediately
after such sale. 

  
 1.2 Employment
Agreement. Any benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement will, unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement, be in addition to and not in lieu of any benefits that may be provided the Executive under his Employment
Agreement with the Company dated November 1, 2005 (this agreement, as amended, restated or superseded, is called the “Employment Agreement”). 
  
 This Agreement shall continue for the term provided in Section 8.6 and shall not be affected by any termination of the
Employment Agreement. 
  

	2.	Termination of Employment Following a Change in Control 

  
 2.1 General. During the 30 month period immediately following each and every Change in Control (the “Protected Period”),
the Executive and the Company shall comply with all provisions of this Section 2 regarding termination of the Executive’s employment. 
  
 2.2 Termination for Disability. If the Employment Agreement is not in force, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for
Disability. If the Employment Agreement is in force, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for disability only in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement. “Disability” as used in this Agreement, as
distinguished from the Employment Agreement, shall mean the Executive’s absence from, and his inability to substantially perform, his duties with the Company for a continuous period of six or more months as a result of physical causes or mental
illness. During any period prior to the termination of his employment that the Executive is absent from, and is unable to substantially perform, his duties with the Company as a result of physical causes or mental illness, the Company shall continue
to pay the Executive his full base salary at the rate 

  

 2 

 
then in effect and any bonuses earned by the Executive under Company bonus plans until such time as the Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Company for Disability. Following termination of employment under this Section 2.2, the Executive’s benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s long term disability program as in effect on the date hereof, or any
successor program then in effect. 
  
 2.3 Termination by
Company for “Cause”. If the Employment Agreement is not in force, the Company may terminate the Executive for Cause as defined in this Agreement. If the Employment Agreement is in force, the Company may terminate the Executive for
cause only in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement. 
  
 Termination for “Cause” under this Agreement, as distinguished from the Employment Agreement, shall be limited to the following: 
  

	 	(a)	The Executive’s 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 

  

	 	(b)	The Executive’s willful breach of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct (or any successor policy) which causes material injury to the Company; or

  

	 	(c)	The Executive’s willful act or omission involving fraud, misappropriation, or dishonesty that (i) causes material injury to the Company or (ii) results in a material
personal enrichment to the Executive at the expense of the Company; or 

  

	 	(d)	The Executive’s willful violation of specific written directions of the Board or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer provided that such directions are consistent with
this Agreement and the Executive’s duties and do not constitute Company Action as defined in Section 2.4, and provided that such violation continues following the Executive’s receipt of written notice by the Board or the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer specifying the specific acts or omissions alleged to constitute such violation and such violation continues after affording the Executive reasonable opportunity to remedy such failure after receipt of such
notice; or 

  

	 	(e)	The Executive’s continued, repeated, willful failure to substantially perform his duties; provided, however, that no discharge shall be deemed for Cause under this subsection
(e) unless the Executive first receives written notice from the Board or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer advising the Executive of specific acts or omissions alleged to constitute a failure to perform his duties, and such failure
continues after the Executive has had a reasonable opportunity to correct the acts or omissions so complained of. 

  

 3 

 No act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful”
unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Moreover, the Executive shall not be terminated for Cause unless and until there
shall have been delivered to the Executive a notice of termination duly adopted by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the directors of the Board at a meeting of the Board (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for
the Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of the conduct set forth in Section 2.3(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail. 
  
 A termination shall not be
deemed for Cause if, for example, the termination results from the Company’s determination that the Executive’s position is redundant or unnecessary or that the Executive’s performance is unsatisfactory or if the termination stems
from the Executive’s refusal to agree to or accept any Company Action described in Section 2.4. 
  
 2.4 Termination by Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may, whether or not his Employment Agreement remains in force, terminate his
employment for “Good Reason” by giving notice of termination to the Company following (i) any action or omission by the Company described in this Section 2.4 or (ii) receipt of notice from the Company of the
Company’s intention to take any such action or engage in any such omission. A termination of employment under this Section 2.4 shall be deemed a valid and proper termination of the Employment Agreement if then in force and, to this extent,
the parties agree that the Employment Agreement is hereby amended. 
  
 The actions or omissions which may lead to a termination of employment for Good Reason (herein collectively and severally “Company Actions”) are as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	A reduction by the Company in the Executive’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or a failure by the Company to increase the Executive’s
base salary each year during the Protected Period by an amount which at least equals, on a percentage basis, the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Workers (CPI-U) for the applicable year; or 

  

	 	(b)	A change in the Executive’s reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control that results in a material diminution within the
Company of title, status, authority or responsibility; or 

  

	 	(c)	The assignment to the Executive of any positions, duties or responsibilities inconsistent with the Executive’s positions, duties and responsibilities with the Company
immediately prior to the Change in Control or an expansion of such duties and responsibilities without the Executive’s written consent; or 

  

	 	(d)	 A failure by the Company, without providing substantially similar economic benefits, to (i) continue any cash bonus or other incentive plans substantially in
the forms in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (ii) continue the Executive as a participant in such plans on at least the same basis as the Executive 

  

 4 

	 	 
participated in accordance with the plans immediately prior to the Change in Control; or 

  

	 	(e)	A requirement by the Company that the Executive be based or perform his duties anywhere other than at the Company’s Corporate Office location immediately prior to the Change in
Control, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if the Executive consents in writing to any
relocation, the failure by the Company to pay (or reimburse the Executive for) all reasonable expenses incurred by him relating to a change of his principal residence in connection with such relocation and to indemnify the Executive against any loss
realized on the sale of his principal residence in connection with any such change of residence (loss is defined as the difference between the actual sale price of such residence and the higher of (i) the aggregate investment in such residence
(including improvements thereto) or (ii) the fair market value of such as determined by a real estate appraiser designated by the Executive and reasonably satisfactory to the Company); or 

  

	 	(f)	A failure by the Company to continue in effect any benefit or other compensation plan (e.g., stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan, stock option plan, life insurance
plan, health and accident plan or disability plan) in which the Executive is participating at the time of a Change in Control (or plans providing the Executive with substantially similar economic benefits), or the taking of any action which would
adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or materially reduce the Executive’s benefits under any of such plans; or 

  

	 	(g)	The Company’s failure to provide the Executive with the number of paid vacation days to which he is entitled in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation practices
with respect to the Executive at the time of the Change in Control; or 

  

	 	(h)	A failure by the Company to obtain the assumption agreement to perform this Agreement by any successor as contemplated by Section 7 of this Agreement; or

  

	 	(i)	Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment for Disability or for Cause that is not carried out (i) pursuant to a notice of termination which satisfies the
requirements of Section 2.5 or (ii) in accordance with Section 2.3, if applicable; and for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective. 

  
 2.5 Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by the
Company of the Executive’s employment under Section 2.2 (Disability) or 2.3 (for Cause) or by the Executive under Section 2.4 (for Good Reason) shall be communicated by notice of termination to the other party. A notice of termination
shall mean a notice which includes the specific termination Section in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the Section so
indicated. 
  

 5 

 2.6 Date of Termination. The date the Executive’s employment is terminated under
Section 2 of this Agreement is called the “Date of Termination”. In cases of Disability, the Date of Termination shall be 30 days after notice of termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the
performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such 30 day period). If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date specified in the notice of termination. If the Executive’s
employment is terminated for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be the date set out in the notice of termination. 
  
 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 after the
notice of termination is given. If the particulars of the dispute are not conveyed within the 30 day period, then the disputing party’s claims regarding the termination shall be forever deemed waived. 
  
 2.7 Prior Notice Required of Company Actions. During the
Protected Period, the Company shall not terminate the Executive’s employment (except for Disability or for Cause or pursuant to the Employment Agreement) or take any Company Action as defined in Section 2.4 without first giving the
Executive at least three months’ prior notice of termination or the planned Company Action, as the case may be. 
  

	3.	Benefits upon Termination of Employment 

  
 3.1 General. If, during the Protected Period following each Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated either
(i) by the Company (other than for Disability or Cause under this Agreement and other than for disability or cause under the Employment Agreement) or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, then the Executive, at his election, shall be
entitled to the benefits provided in this Section 3 (collectively and severally “Termination Benefits”). If the Executive elects to receive Termination Benefits under this Agreement then he shall automatically forfeit his
right, if any, under the Employment Agreement to render consulting services to the Company on the terms and conditions set out in the Employment Agreement and shall also automatically forfeit his right to receive the compensation and benefits
provided for in Section 8 of the Employment Agreement. 
  
 3.2 Base Salary Through Date of Termination. The Company shall pay the Executive his full base salary through the Date of Termination under the Company’s regular payroll procedures and at the rate in effect at the time
notice of termination is given. The Company shall give the Executive credit for any vacation earned but not taken and pay such amount at the time that any earned but not yet paid bonus is paid under Section 3.3. 
  
 3.3 Pro-Rata Bonus for Year of Termination. The Company shall
pay the Executive a pro-rata bonus for the year in which his employment terminates. The pro-rata bonus shall be equal to “A” divided by “B” with the quotient multiplied by “C” where: 
  

	 	(a)	“A” equals the number of days the Executive is employed by the Company in the year in which the termination of employment occurs (the “Termination
Year”); 

  

 6 

	 	(b)	“B” equals 365; and 

  

	 	(c)	“C” equals the maximum bonus the Executive would have been eligible for in the Termination Year under Section 4.2 of his Employment Agreement or under the
Company’s Key Officers Incentive Compensation Plan (or successor plans), whichever may be applicable. 

  
 The pro-rata bonus shall be paid by the Company in a lump sum, within 30 days after the bonus amount is determinable, except that if such payment is
required to be delayed six months to conform to the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) (“the Code”), such pro-rata bonus shall be paid at such later time. 
  
 3.4 Monthly Severance Payments. The Company shall pay the
Executive the aggregate severance payments equal to (i) 150% of the Executive’s annual base salary (notwithstanding any deferral of compensation) as of the date of the Change in Control or as of the Date of Termination, whichever is
greater, multiplied by (ii) 2.5. The 150% figure in this Section shall be appropriately increased or decreased as the Executive’s target bonus amount (which is expressed as a percentage of his annual base salary and is currently 50%) is
increased or decreased. Thus, for example, if Executive’s target bonus is later increased to 60%, the 150% figure would be increased to 160%. 
  
 The severance payments in this Section 3.4 shall be made in 30 equal, consecutive monthly installments, with the first installment to be on the first
day of the first month immediately following the Date of Termination, except that if such payment is required to be delayed six months to conform to the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, such installments shall be delayed
consistent with those requirements, at which time a single sum shall be paid equal to any installments that have not been paid and the remainder of the installment payments shall commence on a monthly basis thereafter. 
  
 3.5 Welfare Plans and Fringe Benefits. 
  
 (a) For purposes of this Section 3.5, welfare plans and fringe benefit
programs include health, disability, life, salary continuance prior to disability, automobile usage, and any other fringe benefit or welfare plan arrangement in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of
Termination. 
  
 (b) The Company shall maintain in full force, for
the continued benefit of the Executive for 30 months after the Date of Termination, all welfare plans and fringe benefit programs (including health insurance, disability insurance, and life insurance ) that may be provided to the to the Executive as
a former employee on a tax-free basis under the Code. 
  
 (c) To
the extent that any other welfare plan or fringe benefit program cannot be maintained under Section 3.5(b) above on a tax-free basis to the Executive under the applicable provisions of the Code, such benefits shall be continued for the period,
if any, that is recognized under Code section 409A (including guidance issued thereunder) as not resulting in a deferral of compensation, but in no event beyond 30 months. 
  

 7 

 (d) To the extent any welfare plan or fringe benefits cannot be provided for 30 months from the Date of
Termination under Sections 3.5(b) and (c) above, Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment that is reasonably determined to equal the cost of coverage or the value of benefits, as applicable, that would have been provided during such 30
month period. Such lump sum payment shall be delayed for six months to the extent required to conform to the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B). At the close of the 30 months period, any assignable insurance policy
owned by the Company and relating specifically to the Executive shall be assigned to the Executive. 
  
 3.6 Retirement Plans. 
  
 (a) The Company shall pay the Executive an additional retirement benefit as specified in this Section 3.6. Such benefit shall be the actuarial
equivalent of the additional benefit to which the Executive would have been entitled under the Company’s Retirement Plans in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control had the Executive accumulated 30 additional months of continuous
service (following the Date of Termination) under such Retirement Plans both for purposes of determining eligibility for benefits and for purposes of calculating the amount of such benefits. If any Retirement Plan requires contributions by
participants, the amount of additional retirement benefit payable under this Section 3.6 shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the absence of contributions by the Executive and any matching contribution that would be contingent upon the
Executive’s contributions shall be calculated as if the Executive made the maximum contribution allowable under the terms of such Retirement Plan. 
  
 (b) For purposes of this Section 3.6, “Retirement Plans” are (i) any savings or retirement plan sponsored by the Company that is
intended to be tax-qualified under Internal Revenue Code section 401(a), and any arrangements that make up benefits that are not provided under such tax-qualified plans because of compensation or benefit limits under the terms of such plans or the
Internal Revenue Code, (ii) the Executive Stock Unit Program, and (iii) any deferred compensation program in which the Executive participates that is adopted after the effective date of this agreement that is intended to provide for
retirement savings and that is designated by the Board or Compensation Committee as a Retirement Plan. 
  
 (c) The additional retirement benefit under this Section 3.6 shall be paid in a cash lump sum as of the date that the Executive receives or commences
benefits under the terms of the Retirement Plan. With respect to the additional retirement benefit paid with respect to a tax-qualified plan, however, payment shall be made as of the later of 30 days following the Date of Termination or the date
that the Executive attains normal retirement age under such plan. In all events, payments shall be delayed for six months to the extent required to conform to the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B). 
  
 3.7 Stock Options. Except for stock options not yet vested
under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Program, the Company shall accelerate and make immediately exercisable in full any unexercised stock options that are not fully exercisable and that the Executive then holds to acquire securities from
the Company. The Executive may elect to surrender to the Company his rights in outstanding stock options during the period beginning 

  

 8 

 
with the notice of termination and ending three months after the Date of Termination (the “Option Election Period”). Upon such surrender,
the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount in cash per optioned share equal to the difference between (i) the option price of such share and (ii) the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date the options (or in the case
of Section 3.10, the shares) are surrendered to the Company. If, as of such surrender date the option price of such share exceeds the closing price, the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount in cash per optioned share equal to the value
of the option that is determined under the methodology for valuing stock options adopted pursuant to Section 3.11. 
  
 If, within six months of the taking of any Company Action under Section 2.4, the Executive dies while still employed by the Company, the
Executive’s estate shall be entitled, upon notice to the Company within 90 days of the Executive’s death, to be paid an amount equal to the amount the Executive would have received had he surrendered all of his stock options under this
Section as of the date preceding his death. Such amount shall be paid in cash by the Company within 45 days after receipt of the notice and the delivery of an instrument surrendering all rights the Executive’s estate may have held to the stock
options. 
  
 3.8 Purchase of Company Car. The
Company shall permit the Executive within 60 days from the Date of Termination, to purchase any Company automobile the Company was providing for the Executive’s use at the time notice of termination was given. The purchase price shall be the
book or wholesale value at such time, whichever is lower. 
  
 3.9
Repurchase of Company Shares Owned by Executive. Any unvested securities of the Company that the Executive holds shall become fully vested (with the exception of stock units not yet vested under the Company’s Deferred Compensation
Program). Upon Executive’s request during the Option Election Period, the Company shall purchase all Company shares owned by the Executive immediately prior to the Date of Termination. Within 45 days after the request is made, the
Executive’s shares, properly endorsed and free of all claims, shall be delivered to the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall pay the purchase price in cash, determined under the method set forth in Section 3.7. 
  
 3.10 Termination Which Does Not Require Payment of Termination
Benefits. No Termination Benefits shall be provided by the Company to the Executive under this Section 3 if the Executive’s employment is terminated: 
  

	 	(a)	By his death; or 

  

	 	(b)	By the Executive other than for Good Reason (e.g., by retirement); or 

  

	 	(c)	By the Company for Disability or for Cause under this Agreement or for disability or cause under the Employment Agreement. 

  
 As used herein, retirement by the Executive means termination of employment
in accordance with the Company’s normal retirement policy, including early retirement, generally applicable to the Company’s salaried employees or in accordance with any special retirement 

  

 9 

 
arrangement jointly established by the Company and the Executive and mutually agreeable to both. 
  
 3.11 Gross Up Payment. If any payment or benefit received by
the Executive under this Agreement or any other plan or agreement with the Company (a “Benefit”) is subject to tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any interest or penalties are incurred
by the Executive with respect to such tax (collectively, “Excise Tax”), the Company will pay the Executive an amount (“Gross Up Payment”) that covers: all Excise Taxes payable by Executive because of any such
Benefit and all income and employment taxes and Excise Taxes on the Gross Up Payment. It is the Company’s intent that any payment under this Section 3.11 shall place the Executive in the same position that he would have been in had the
Benefit not been subject to the Excise Tax. Any Gross Up Payment shall be made no later than the date the Excise Tax is payable by the Executive or the date it is withheld as provided below. 
  
 The Company shall determine whether or not any Benefit is subject to the
Excise Tax and withhold the amount of the Excise Tax from any Benefit or other remuneration payable to the Executive. Any such determination shall be made in good faith and after consultation with the Company’s independent certified public
accountants or outside tax counsel. The Company shall also have the right, on behalf of the Executive, at its sole cost and expense, to contest any claim by the Internal Revenue Service (“Service”) that any Benefit is subject to the
Excise Tax or file and pursue a claim for refund of any Excise Tax previously paid. The Executive shall cooperate with the Company in any such proceeding and provide the Company with any notifications received by the Executive from the Service. If
the Executive receives any refund of Excise Tax for which a Gross Up Payment has been made, the Executive shall pay such refund to the Company. Provided, however, that the Gross-Up Payment shall be made only to the extent that the total value of
Benefits exceeds by 10 percent or more the dollar amount that is 3 times the Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code). If the total value of Benefits exceeds by less than 10 percent the dollar amount
that is 3 times the Executive’s “base amount,” then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made and Benefits shall be capped at the amount that is $1 less than 3 times the Executive’s “base amount.” 
  

	4.	No Obligation to Mitigate 

  
 The Termination Benefits provided under Section 3 shall not be treated as damages, but rather shall be treated as severance compensation to which the
Executive is entitled. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any Termination Benefit provided under Section 3 by seeking other employment or otherwise; provided, however, any health welfare and fringe benefits that the
Executive may receive from full time employment by a third person shall be applied against and reduce any such benefits thereafter to be made available to the Executive under Section 3.5. 
  

 10 

	5.	Voluntary Termination of Employment by Executive After Certain Change in Control 

  
 The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company for any reason (including retirement) within one
year of any Change in Control. A termination of employment under this Section 5 shall be deemed a valid and proper termination of the Employment Agreement if then in force and to this extent the parties agree that the Employment Agreement is
hereby amended. Upon any such termination of employment the Executive may in his sole discretion elect to receive, and the Company shall provide, the following benefits and no others under this Agreement: 
  

	 	(a)	The Company shall promptly pay the Executive those salary, bonus and vacation payments provided for in Section 3.2. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company shall promptly pay the Executive the pro-rata bonus provided for in Section 3.3. 

  

	 	(c)	The Company shall promptly pay the Executive a non-forfeitable lump sum cash termination payment equal to 75% of the Executive’s total cash compensation for the calendar year
immediately preceding the Date of Termination of his employment. 

  

	 	(d)	The Company shall provide the Executive for one year with those benefits described in Section 3.5. The benefits provided under this subsection (d) shall be reduced by any
such benefits the Executive thereafter receives from full time employment by a third person. 

  
 If the Executive does not elect to receive benefits under this Section 5, then he shall remain eligible to receive Termination Benefits in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3. The benefits payable to the Executive under this Section 5 are in addition to all benefits provided to him under the Employment Agreement. However, if the Executive elects to receive benefits under this
Section 5 then he shall automatically forfeit his option, if any, under the Employment Agreement to render consulting services to the Company on the terms and conditions set out in the Employment Agreement and shall also automatically forfeit
his right to receive the compensations and benefits provided for in Section 8 of the Employment Agreement. 
  
 The only Change in Control that will permit an Executive to make an election under this Section 5 is a Change in Control that is opposed by a
majority vote of the Board and in connection with such Change in Control or as a result thereof: 
  

	 	(a)	A majority of the whole Board becomes comprised of persons other than Original Directors or their Successors (as those terms are defined in Section 1.1(c)); or

  

	 	(b)	Any person (as defined in Section 1.1(b)) becomes the beneficial owner), directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding voting securities. 

  

 11 

	6.	Termination of Employment Prior to Change in Control 

  
 Prior to a Change in Control and if there is no Employment Agreement in force, the Executive shall not voluntarily terminate his employment with the
Company except upon at least three months’ prior notice. Similarly, the Company shall not terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause except upon at least three months’ prior notice. If the Employment Agreement is in
force, termination of employment by the Executive or the Company shall be governed by the terms thereof. 
  

	7.	Successor; Binding Agreement 

  
 The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place (the assumption shall be
by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive). Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive, at his
election, to Termination Benefits from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if he terminated his employment for Good Reason, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the
date on which any such election becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in the Agreement “Company” means the Company as previously defined and any successor to its business and/or assets which executes and
delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 7 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. 
  
 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein,
shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to his devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to his estate.

8.2 No Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is
agreed to in writing, signed by the Executive and an officer of the Company. No waiver by either party at any time of any breach by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other

or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this

 8.3 Enforceability. The invalidity or

Missouri; provided, however, that if the parties cannot agree on the selection of such arbitrator within 30 days after the matter is referred to arbitration, each party shall select one arbitrator and those arbitrators shall jointly designate a
third arbitrator to comprise a panel of three arbitrators. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing, shall be final, and may be entered as a judgment in any court in the State of Missouri. Company and the Executive each
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of Missouri for this purpose. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with any arbitration under this Section 8.4, including without

Control shall be deemed to have occurred with each occurrence of any event described at subsections (a) through (e) of Section 1.1. This Agreement pertains to each and every Change in Control, including successive Changes in Control
involving the same controlling person(s). 
  
 8.10
Interpretation of Agreement and Application of Code Section 409A. In the event of any ambiguity, vagueness or other matter involving the interpretation or meaning of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be liberally construed so
as to provide to the Executive the full benefits set out herein. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, however, to pay a benefit in a form or manner that would result in taxation to the Executive under Code section 409A and this Agreement shall be
interpreted accordingly.
