included herein to provide its non-employee directors with an additional method of planning for their retirement. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to the non-employee directors
of Carpenter Technology Corporation. 
 The Plan has been amended and restated to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the

neither current nor past employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 2.2
Participation. Any Director who elects to participate in the Plan shall become a Participant in the Plan immediately upon enrolling as a Participant by the method required by the Plan Administrator. An individual shall remain a Participant in

 ARTICLE III - VESTING 
 Participants are always fully vested in all amounts credited to
their Accounts. 
 ARTICLE IV - DEFERRAL CREDITS 
 4.1 Eligibility to Receive Deferral Credits. Subject to Section 4.2, a Participant may receive Deferral Credits in each Plan Year that the Participant is a Director and is not an employee of
the Company. 
 4.2 Deferrals. A Participant may elect to defer receipt of up to 100% of the Participant’s Compensation and to have
the Company credit that amount to the Participant’s Account under the Plan. 
 4.3 Elections. 

  
 4 

 4.3.1 Frequency and Timing of Elections. Any elections made pursuant to this
Section 4.3 may not be modified during the Plan Year to which such election applies, except that a Participant’s elections must cease to apply in the event such Participant receives a distribution from this Plan due to an Unforeseeable
Emergency. The Participant must make an election prior to the end of the preceding Plan Year for it to take effect for the next Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a newly appointed Director may file an initial election governing Deferrals
during the first 30 days of eligibility to participate in the Plan. 
 4.3.2 Duration of Elections. Elections to receive
Deferral Credits under this Article IV expire at the end of each Plan Year for which the election was made. Each such election shall constitute a separate Tranche. 
 4.3.3 Restriction on Elections. Elections to receive Deferral Credits may be in the form of a whole percentage or in $1 increments. 
 4.4 Earnings. All amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall be credited with earnings at a rate equal to the Five-Year Medium Term Note Borrowing Rate, established as of August 15
(or the next business day thereafter if August 15 is not a business day) of the prior Plan Year. For the first Plan Year, the rate is 8.25%. The Plan Committee shall communicate to all Directors the Five-Year Medium Term Note Borrowing Rate for
the next Plan Year no later than August 30 of the current Plan Year. Earnings on Credits shall begin to accrue on the date that such Deferral would have been paid to the Participant but for an election to defer under this Article IV. Earnings
shall be compounded semi-annually on each October 1 and April 1. In addition, any distribution not made on either October 1 or April 1 shall have earnings compounded as of the date of distribution. 

ARTICLE V - DISTRIBUTIONS 
 5.1 Source
of Distributions. All distributions shall, at the Company’s discretion, be made directly out of the Company’s general assets or from the Carpenter Technology Corporation Non-Qualified Benefits Trust for Directors, if available.

 5.2 Form of Distributions. A Participant may receive distributions in one of the following manners, which the Participant shall elect
on the deferral election form. 
 5.2.1 A lump sum distribution of the Participant’s entire Tranche; 

5.2.2 Ten annual installments, with the distribution each year equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current Tranche
balance by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is always one, and the denominator of the fraction is ten for the first distribution and is reduced by one for each subsequent distribution; or 

5.2.3 Fifteen annual installments, with the distribution each year equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current
Tranche balance by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is always one, and the denominator of the fraction is fifteen for the first distribution and is reduced by one for each subsequent distribution. 

  
 5 

 5.3 Timing of Distributions. Each Participant shall elect the timing of the distribution with respect
to each of his or her Tranches in the manner authorized by the Plan Administrator. The Participant’s election(s) shall indicate that payment of each Tranche shall be made (in the case of a lump sum election) or shall commence (in the case of an
installment election) as soon as administratively practicable and no more than thirty (30) days following the Participant’s elected Event; provided, however, if the Participant is determined to be a “specified employee” under
Code Section 409A, any distributions scheduled to be paid upon Termination shall not commence before the date which is 6 months following the date of Termination (or, if earlier, the death of the Participant) and, if such distribution is the
first in a series of installments, subsequent distributions shall be paid upon the anniversary of the Termination date. 
 Notwithstanding a
Participant’s elections under Article IV, the balance of a Participant’s Account shall be paid as soon as practicable and no more than thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s death. 

5.4 Change in Form or Time of Distribution. A Participant may change his or her form and timing election applicable to the distribution of any
Tranche under Sections 5.2 and 5.3, provided that such request for change is made (i) at least twelve (12) consecutive months prior to the date on which such distribution would otherwise have been made or commenced and (ii) the first
payment with respect to such new election is deferred for a period of not less than 5 years beyond the date such distribution would otherwise have been made. 
 5.5 Distributions Due to Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions hereunder may commence if the Plan Administrator determines, based on uniform, established standards, that the Participant has
incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount distributed under this Section 5.5 shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after
taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not
itself cause severe financial hardship). The Plan Administrator shall make such distribution from the Tranche(s) identified by the Participant. If the Participant fails to identify Tranches with sufficient Credits to satisfy the Unforeseeable
Emergency, the Plan Administrator shall determine any additional Tranches required to complete the distribution. 
 5.6 Termination of
Service. Upon Termination, a Participant, or the Beneficiary if the Termination is caused by the Participant’s death, shall receive distribution of the Participant’s Account pursuant to the election(s) in place under Sections 5.2, 5.3
and 5.4. 
 ARTICLE VI - PLAN ADMINISTRATION 
 6.1 General. The Plan shall be administered by the Company subject to the oversight of the Plan Administrator. Employees (of the Company) and members (of the Committee or Plan Committee), including
any appointee or designee of such entity, shall use that degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the employee’s or member’s conduct of a
similar situation. 

  
 6 

 The Committee, Company or Plan Committee may appoint such agents, who need not be members (of the Committee
or Plan Committee) or employees (of the Company), as it deems necessary for the effective exercise of its duties and may delegate to such agents any powers and duties, both ministerial and discretionary, as the Committee, Company or Plan Committee,
as applicable, may deem expedient and appropriate. 
 6.2 Responsibilities and Reports. The Plan Administrator may pursuant to a written
resolution allocate specific responsibilities under the Plan among one or more of its members, or such other persons it deems appropriate. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon all tables, valuations, certificates,
opinions and reports that are furnished by any actuary, accountant, controller, counsel, investment banker or other person who is employed or engaged for such purposes. 
 6.3 Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to the extent not preempted by federal law. 

ARTICLE VII - CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
 7.1
Plan Interpretation. The Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (including any designated sub-committee or successor committee performing similar duties, herein the “Committee”) shall have the authority and
responsibility to interpret and construe the Plan and to decide all questions arising thereunder, including without limitation, questions of eligibility for participation, eligibility for Deferral Credits, the amount of Account balances, and the
timing of the distribution thereof, and shall have the authority to deviate from the literal terms of the Plan to the extent it shall determine to be necessary or appropriate to operate the Plan in compliance with the provisions of applicable law.
Notwithstanding the above, a member of the Committee shall not take any part in decisions regarding his participation in the Plan. The decisions of the Committee upon all matters within the scope of its authority shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon all parties. 
 7.2 Denial of Claim for Benefits. Any denial by the Committee of any claim for benefits under the Plan by
a Participant or Beneficiary shall be stated in writing by the Committee and delivered or mailed to the Participant or Beneficiary. The Committee shall furnish the claimant with notice of the decision not later than 90 days after receipt of the
claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the
initial 90 day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of such initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee
expects to render the final decision. The notice of the Committee’s decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include (i) the specific reasons for the denial, including, where appropriate,
references to the Plan, (ii) any additional information necessary to perfect the claim with an explanation of why the information is necessary, and (iii) an explanation of the procedure for perfecting the claim. 

7.3 Appeal of Denial. The claimant shall have 60 days after receipt of written notification of denial of his or her claim in which to file a
written appeal with the Committee. As a part of any 

  
 7 

 
such appeal, the claimant may submit issues and comments in writing and shall, on request, be afforded an opportunity to review any documents pertinent to the perfection of his or her claim. The
Committee shall render a written decision on the claimant’s appeal ordinarily within 60 days of receipt of notice thereof but, in no case, later than 120 days. 
 ARTICLE VIII - FUNDING 
 8.1 Funding. The Company shall not segregate or hold
separately from its general assets any amounts credited to the Accounts, and shall be under no obligation whatsoever to fund in advance any amounts under the Plan, including all Credits and earnings thereon. 

8.2 Insolvency. In the event that the Company becomes insolvent, all Participants and Beneficiaries shall be treated as general, unsecured
creditors of the Company with respect to any amounts credited to the Accounts under the Plan. 
 ARTICLE IX - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 9.1 Reservation of Rights. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time by action of the Board of
Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment or termination shall reduce the balance of any Participant’s Account as of the date of such amendment or termination. 
 9.2 Funding upon Termination. Upon a complete termination of the Plan, the Company shall contribute to the Carpenter Technology Corporation Non-Qualified Benefits Trust for Directors an amount
equal to the aggregate of all amounts credited to Participants’ Accounts as of the date of such termination. If the Carpenter Technology Corporation Non-Qualified Benefits Trust for Directors does not exist at the time the Plan is terminated,
the Company shall create an irrevocable grantor trust to which it will contribute such amounts. This newly created trust shall be designed to ensure that Participants will not be subject to taxation on amounts contributed to and held under the trust
on their behalf before the amounts are distributed. 
 9.3 Survival of Accounts and Elections. Notwithstanding any termination of the
Plan, the trustee of the trust to which amounts are contributed under Section 9.2 shall maintain the Accounts for Participants in the same manner as under this Plan and all elections for distributions under Article V of the Plan shall survive
the termination and remain in effect. 
 ARTICLE X - MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 Limited Purpose of Plan. The establishment or existence of the Plan shall not confer upon any individual the right to continue as a Director. 

10.2 Non-alienation. No amounts payable under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, assignment, or voluntary or involuntary
alienation. 
 10.3 Facility of Payment. If the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems a Participant or Beneficiary who is
eligible to receive any payment hereunder to be incompetent to receive the same by reason of age, illness or any infirmity or incapacity of any kind, the Plan Administrator 

  
 8 

 
may direct the Company to apply such payment directly for the benefit of such person, or to make payment to any person selected by the Plan Administrator to disburse the same for the benefit of
the Participant or Beneficiary. Payments made pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall operate as a discharge, to the extent thereof, of all liabilities of the Company and the Plan Administrator to the person for whose benefit the payments are made.

 10.4 Section 409A of the Code. The Plan is intended to comply in form and operation with the requirements of section 409A of the
Code and applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder (“Section 409A”). It is the intention of the Company that the amounts deferred pursuant to this Plan shall not be included in the gross income of
the Directors or their Beneficiaries until such time as the deferred amounts are distributed from the Plan. At all times, this Plan shall be interpreted and operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, unless an exemption from
Section 409A is available and applicable. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, if, at the time of a Director’s separation from service, such Director has an account in this Plan and is determined to be a
“specified employee” under Section 409A, any payment due to the Director on account of his or her “separation from service” may not be made before the date that is six months after the date of separation from service (or, if
earlier, the date of death of the Director), except as may be otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 409A.

to each Participant and certify whether the Performance Goals have been attained; (C) to construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or instrument entered into under or in connection with the Plan; (D) to establish, amend, and waive
rules and regulations for the Plan’s administration; and (E) to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Any determination by the Committee pursuant to the Plan shall be final,

	IV.	Establishment of Performance Goals and Executive Bonus Compensation Opportunities 

No later than the Determination Date for each Performance Period, the Committee shall establish in writing, the method for computing the
amount of Qualified Executive Bonus Compensation or percentage of Base Pay that may be payable under the Plan to each Participant in the Plan for such Performance Period if the Performance Goals established by the Committee for such Performance
Period are attained in whole or in part. The maximum amount that may be payable to any Participant in any calendar year under the Plan shall not exceed four (4) times the maximum deduction limit imposed by section 162(m) of the Code on
compensation that is not performance based. Such method shall be stated in terms of an objective formula or standard that precludes discretion to increase the amount of Qualified Executive Bonus Compensation or percentage of Base Pay that would
otherwise be due upon attainment of the goals and may be different for each Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committee may, however, exercise negative discretion within the meaning of treasury regulation
1.162-27(e)(2)(iii)(A) with respect to any Executive Bonus Compensation hereunder to reduce any amount that would otherwise be payable hereunder to the extent necessary to allow the Company to deduct that Executive Bonus Compensation despite the
limits imposed by section 162(m) of the Code. 
 No later than the Determination Date for each Performance Period, the Committee
shall establish in writing the Performance Goals for such Performance Period. 

  
 4 

	V.	Attainment of Performance Goals Required; Employment Status 

 Executive Bonus Compensation shall be paid under this Plan for any Performance Period only upon the attainment of the Performance Goals established by the Committee with respect to such Performance
Period. Executive Bonus Compensation shall also be contingent upon the Participant remaining employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company during such Performance Period, except as follows: 

A Participant may receive Executive Bonus Compensation which shall be paid at the same time as the Executive Bonus Compensation the
Participant would have received for such Performance Period had no termination of employment occurred, and which shall be equal to the amount of such Executive Bonus Compensation multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of full
and partial pay periods elapsed in such Performance Period prior to termination of employment and the denominator of which is the number of total pay periods in the Performance Period in the event the Participant’s termination of employment is
by reason of the Participant’s death, Disability or, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Retirement. 
 A
Participant whose employment terminates prior to the end of a Performance Period for any reason not excepted above shall not be entitled to any Executive Bonus Compensation under the Plan for that Performance Period. 

 

	VI.	Shareholder Approval and Committee Certification; Payment of Executive Bonus Compensation 

Unless the Committee provides otherwise, (1) earned Executive Bonus Compensation shall be paid no later than 2 1/2 months after the end of the Performance Period with
respect to which such Executive Bonus Compensation is earned, and (2) such payment shall be made in cash (subject to any payroll tax withholding the Company may determine applies). 

Payment of any Qualified Executive Bonus Compensation under this Plan shall be contingent upon an affirmative vote of the shareholders of
at least a majority of the votes cast (including abstentions) approving the Plan, including the basis upon which Performance Goals may be established under Section II(L) hereof, sufficient to satisfy the applicable requirements of Code section
162(m) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Unless and until such shareholder approval is obtained, no Qualified Executive Bonus Compensation shall be paid pursuant to this Plan. 

Payment of any Qualified Executive Bonus Compensation under this Plan shall be contingent upon the Committee’s certifying in writing
that the Performance Goals and any other material terms applicable to such Qualified Executive Bonus Compensation were in fact satisfied, in accordance with applicable Treasury regulations under Code section 162(m). Unless and until the Committee so
certifies, such Qualified Executive Bonus Compensation shall not be paid. 
 Every fifth year following shareholder approval of
this Plan, or more frequently if necessary for purposes of Code section 162(m), this Plan shall be resubmitted to shareholders for their reapproval for the relevant Performance Period(s).

	VII.	Amendment, Termination and Term of Plan 

 The Board may amend, modify or terminate this Plan at any time. The Plan will remain in effect until terminated by the Board. 

 

	VIII.	Interpretation and Construction 

 No provision of the Plan, nor the selection of any Participant, shall constitute an employment agreement or affect the duration of any Participant’s employment, which shall remain “employment at
will” unless an employment agreement between the Company and the Participant provides otherwise. Both the Participant and the Company shall remain free to terminate employment at any time to the same extent as if the Plan had not been adopted.

 Any provision of the Plan that could be construed to prevent Qualified Executive Bonus Compensation under the Plan from
qualifying for deductibility under section 162(m) of the Code or Treasury regulation 1.162-27(e) shall be administered, interpreted and construed to carry out such intention and any provision that cannot be so administered, interpreted and construed
shall to that extent be disregarded. 
  

	IX.	Governing Law 

 The terms
of this Plan shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
