RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, by and between TWIN DISC, INCORPORATED (the “Company”) and ______________________ (the “Employee”) is dated this 29th day of July, 2010.

WHEREAS, the Company adopted a Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan in 2004, as amended in 2006 (the “Plan”), whereby the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) is authorized to award shares of common stock of the Company to officers and key employees carrying restrictions such as a prohibition against disposition and establishing a substantial risk of forfeiture; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined it to be in its best interests of the Company to provide the Employee with an inducement to acquire or increase his equity interest in the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Stock Grant.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which has been provided to the Employee and is incorporated herein by reference, the Company grants to the Employee _________ shares of the common stock of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions and restrictions set forth below.

If at any time while this Agreement is in effect (or shares of common stock granted hereunder shall be or remain unvested while Employee’s employment continues and has not yet terminated or ceased for any reason), there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of such shares, then the Committee shall make any adjustments it deems fair and appropriate (in view of such change) in the number of shares of common stock then subject to this Agreement.  If any such adjustment shall result in a fractional share, such fraction shall be disregarded.

2. Fair Market Value.  The fair market value of the shares granted was thirteen dollars ($13.00) per share on the date of grant.

3. Price Paid by Employee.  The price to be paid by the Employee for the shares granted shall be         No          Dollars ($ 0.00) per share.

4. Transferability.  For a period of three (3) years from the date of grant the shares granted shall not be subject to sale, assignment, pledge or other transfer of disposition by the Employee, except as provided in Sections 6 or 7, or except by reason of an exchange or conversion of such shares because of merger, consolidation, reorganization or other corporate action.  Any shares into which the granted shares may be converted or for which the granted shares may be exchanged in a merger, consolidation, reorganization or other corporate action shall be subject to the same transferability restrictions as the granted shares.

On the third anniversary of the date of grant, one hundred percent (100%) of the shares granted shall become freely transferable.

5. Forfeitability.  Except as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, if the employment of the Employee shall terminate prior to the expiration of three (3) years from the date of grant other than by reason of death or permanent disability, the shares granted (or any shares into which they may have been converted or for which they may have been exchanged) shall be forfeited.  If the Employee continues to be employed on the third anniversary of the date of grant, the shares shall become non-forfeitable.

6. Termination Following Change in Control.  Notwithstanding Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement, if an event constituting a Change in Control of the Company occurs and the Employee thereafter either terminates employment for Good Reason or is involuntarily terminated by the Company without cause, the transferability provisions and the forfeitability provisions shall immediately cease to apply.  Employee’s continued employment with the Company, for whatever duration, following a Change in Control of the Company shall not constitute a waiver of his or her rights with respect to this Section 6. Employee's right to terminate his or her employment pursuant to this Subsection shall not be affected by his or her incapacity due to physical or mental illness.  For purposes of this Section 6:

	  	
(a)

	
“Good Reason” shall mean any of the following, without the Employee’s written consent:

	  	
(i)

	
the assignment to Employee of duties, responsibilities or status that constitute a material diminution from his or her present duties, responsibilities and status or a material diminution in the nature or status of Employee's duties and responsibilities from those in effect as of the date hereof;

	  	
(ii)

	
a material reduction by the Company in Employee's base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same shall be increased from time to time ("Base Salary");

	  	
(iii)

	
a material change in the geographic location at which the Employee must provide services; or

	  	
(iv)

	
a material change in or termination of the Company’s benefit plans or programs or the Employee’s participation in such plans or programs (outside of a good faith, across-the-board reduction of general application) in a manner that effectively reduces their aggregate value.

	  	
(b)

	
“Change in Control of the Company” shall be deemed to occur in any of the following circumstances:

	  	
(i)

	
if there occurs a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement;

	  	
(ii)

	
if any “person” (as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than Michael Batten or any member of his family (the “Batten Family”), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;

	  	
(iii)

	
if during any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement) there shall cease to be a majority of the Board comprised as follows:  individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new director(s) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved; or

	  	
(iv)

	
if the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company's assets.

	  	
(c)

	
To constitute a termination for Good Reason hereunder:

	  	
(i)

	
Termination of employment must occur within two years following the existence of a condition that would constitute Good Reason hereunder; and

	  	
(ii)

	
Employee must provide notice to the Company of the existence of a condition that would constitute Good Reason within 90 days following the initial existence of such condition.  The Company shall be provided a provided a period of 30 days following such notice during which it may remedy the condition.  If the condition is remedied, the Employee’s subsequent voluntary termination of employment shall not constitute termination for Good Reason based upon the prior existence of such condition.

7. Death/Disability.  Upon the death or permanent disability of the Employee while employed by the Company the transferability provisions and the forfeitability provisions shall cease to apply.  Whether the Employee shall be considered permanently disabled for purposes of this Plan shall be conclusively determined by the Committee.

8. Rights of Shareholder.  Upon the date of issuance of certificates for shares granted, the Employee shall otherwise have all the rights of a shareholder including the right to receive dividends and to vote shares.  Cash and stock dividends shall be payable to the Employee as they are paid by the Company, even if the restrictions on the shares to which such dividends relate have not yet lapsed.  The certificates representing such shares shall be held by the Company for account of the Employee, and shall be delivered to the Employee as and when the shares represented thereby become non-forfeitable.

9. Section 83(b) Election.  The Employee acknowledges that:  (1) the stock granted pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement is restricted property for purposes of Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and that the shares granted are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as therein defined until the year in which such shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; and (2) that the Employee may make an election to include the fair market value of the shares in income in the year of the grant in which case no income is included in the year the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.  Responsibility for determining whether or not to make such an election and compliance with the necessary requirements is the sole responsibility of the Employee.

10. Restrictions on Transfer.  The Employee agrees for himself and his heirs, legatees and legal representatives, with respect to all shares granted hereunder (or any securities issued in lieu of or in substitution or exchange therefore) that such shares will not be sold or transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or until the Company is provided with an opinion of counsel that a proposed sale or transfer will not violate the Securities Act of 1993, as amended.  The Employee represents that such shares are being acquired for the Employee’s own account and for purposes of investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of such shares, nor with any present intention of distributing such shares.

11. Employment Status.  Neither this Agreement nor the Plan imposes on the Company any obligation to continue the employment of the Employee.

TWIN DISC, INCORPORATED

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

(As Amended and Restated Effective July 29, 2010)

  

  

  

July 29, 2010

TWIN DISC, INCORPORATED

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

(as amended and restated effective July 29, 2010)

PREAMBLE

Effective January 1, 1984, the Company adopted the Twin Disc, Incorporated Supplemental Retirement Plan to ensure the payment of a competitive level of retirement income in order to retain and motivate selected executives.  The Plan was amended effective January 1, 1985 for executives named to the Plan on or after January 1, 1985.  Effective as of January 1, 1998, the Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, change the formula for calculating the amount of benefits payable to executives who were participants in the Plan as of December 31, 1997 but who had not yet terminated employment as of such date.

The rights and benefits, if any, of a Participant who terminated employment prior to January 1, 1998, shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the date his employment terminated.

Effective July 28, 2005, the Committee amended and restated the Plan to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code by eliminating elections among distribution options and imposing a uniform method of distributing Plan benefits for all Participants.  All amounts deferred under the Plan as of July 28, 2005, but not yet paid to Participants, whether or not earned and vested (within the meaning of IRS Notice 2005-1) as of December 31, 2004, shall be subject to the revised provisions of the Plan as stated herein.  Between December 31, 2004, and July 28, 2005, no Participant retired and no Participant made an election to receive an optional form of distribution under the Plan provisions as in effect prior to July 28, 2005.

Effective July 24, 2008, the Committee amended and restated the Plan to comply with the final regulations issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Effective July 29, 2010, the Committee amended and restated the Plan to reflect a change in the qualified retirement plan covering Plan Participants.  As of July 31, 2009, the defined benefit qualified retirement plan covering Plan Participants was frozen, and a new defined contribution qualified plan covering Plan Participants was established as of August 1, 2009.  Because this Plan (prior to this restatement) determined benefits based in part on the benefits accrued under the frozen defined benefit qualified retirement plan (or that would have accrued under that plan but for earnings limitations under the Internal Revenue Code), the Plan has been restated to reflect the freezing of the defined benefit plan and the adoption of the defined contribution plan.

2.3           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Participant (including a Participant that has terminated employment with the Company) engages in competition with the Company (without prior authorization given by the Committee in writing) or is discharged for cause, or performs acts of willful malfeasance or gross negligence in a matter of material importance to the Company, all rights to any benefits payable under this Plan thereafter (whether payable to such Participant or such Participant’s Surviving Spouse) shall, at the discretion of the Committee, be forfeited and the Company will have no further obligation hereunder to such Participant or Surviving Spouse.

  

  

  

SECTION III – AMOUNT AND FORM OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT

Amount of Benefit

	
3.1

	
The benefit payable at a Normal Retirement Date will equal the amount determined in accordance with the Schedule applicable to such Participant.

	
3.2

	
The benefit payable at an Early Retirement Date will equal the benefit determined in accordance with the Schedule applicable to such Participant.

	
3.3

	
The benefit payable at a Postponed Retirement Date will be equal to the benefit determined in accordance with the Schedule applicable to such Participant.

	
3.4

	
With respect to a Participant who experiences a Separation from Service due to becoming Disabled before reaching his Early Retirement Date or Normal Retirement Date:

	 	
(a)

	
Subject to subsection (b), such Participant shall vest in his benefits under the Plan on the date that he would have attained his Early Retirement Date or Normal Retirement Date (or, if later, on the first day of the seventh month following the month in which he became Disabled).  The period of time that such Participant is Disabled shall be counted in determining whether and when the Participant would have attained his Early Retirement Date or Normal Retirement Date.

	 	
(b)

	
Notwithstanding subsection (a), should a Participant who experiences a Separation from Service due to becoming Disabled before attaining his Early Retirement Date or Normal Retirement Date cease to be Disabled before vesting in his benefits under subsection (a) and refuse an offer by the Company to return to active employment with the Company in a position that is substantially comparable to the position he held when he became Disabled, his benefit under the Plan shall be forfeited.

Form of Benefit

	
3.5

	
Any benefits payable under this Plan will automatically be paid in a Two Payment Deferred Lump Sum Form, under which two equal payments will be made to the Participant (or his Surviving Spouse or named beneficiary if the Participant dies prior to all of the payments being made), with the first payment to be made on the February 1 following the calendar year of Retirement, and the second payment to be made on February 1 of the following year.  To the extent that the Schedule applicable to a Participant expresses the Participant’s benefit as a single life annuity, the two payments shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the annual benefit calculated under the single life annuity form.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:

	
  

	
(a)

	
If each of the two lump sum payments described herein would otherwise exceed $500,000, each such payment shall be limited to $500,000, with the unpaid balance following the second such payment increasing at 8% per year beginning on the date of the second such payment, and additional payments (also limited to $500,000 each) will be made on each subsequent February 1 until the balance is paid; and

	
  

	
(b)

	
If the commencement of benefits is based upon a Participant’s Separation from Service, the first payment to or with respect to such Participant shall be no earlier than the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant).

Additional Frozen Qualified Plan Benefit

	
3.6

	
Upon Retirement, a Participant who elects to receive any or all of their monthly benefits from the Frozen Qualified Plan immediately in the form of a Joint and Survivor Annuity for Married Participant (Section 6.1(b) of the Frozen Qualified Plan) will receive an additional benefit from this Plan.  This benefit is intended to make-up for the reduction in monthly Frozen Qualified Plan benefits due to Joint and Survivor coverage and is equal to the difference, if any, between the monthly Frozen Qualified Plan benefit payable immediately in the single life form and the monthly Frozen Qualified Plan benefit payable immediately in the Joint and Survivor Annuity for Married Participant form.  In the event the Participant elects to receive all or a part of the Frozen Qualified Plan benefit as a single life annuity or as a lump sum, the additional benefit calculated in this Section 3.6 will not be based on the portion of the Frozen Qualified Plan benefit that is paid in a form other than the Joint and Survivor Annuity for Married Participant.

The benefit determined under this Section 3.6 is calculated in the form of a single life temporary annuity, stated in terms of benefits for the shorter of the life of the Participant or 120 monthly payments.  The Actuarial Equivalent of such benefit shall be added to, and paid in the form of, the Two Payment Deferred Lump Sum described in Section 3.5 above.  The $500,000 limit on any given payment described in Section 3.5 shall apply to the combined benefit determined under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 and this Section 3.6.

No additional benefit under this Section 3.6 shall be paid if the Participant does not elect to receive Frozen Qualified Plan benefits commencing on or before the date that benefits are first payable under this Plan.

  

  

  

SECTION IV - PAYMENT OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS

	
4.1

	
No benefits are payable under this Plan if a Participant terminates employment for any reason other than Retirement, becoming Disabled, or death.

  

  

  

SECTION V - DEATH BENEFITS PAYABLE

	
5.1

	
If a Participant should die after attaining either his Early Retirement Date or his Normal Retirement Date and before Retirement, the Surviving Spouse will receive, in the form of a lump sum, a benefit equal to the Participant's benefit determined in accordance with Section III as if the Participant had retired and commenced receiving a benefit on the first of the month following the date of his death.  If the lump sum is equal to or less than $500,000, the lump sum will be paid in a single payment.  In the event that the lump sum is in excess of $500,000, then the first payment will be limited to $500,000, with the unpaid balance increasing with interest at 8% per year, and additional payments (also limited to no more than $500,000) made on each twelve month anniversary of the first payment until the balance is paid.  If the Surviving Spouse dies after the first payment but prior to the time when the balance has been fully discharged, a named beneficiary shall receive the subsequent payment(s) at the same time and in the same amount as if the Surviving Spouse was alive to receive the payments.

	
5.2

	
The initial payment under this Section V will be paid within 60 days following the month in which the Participant dies.  If additional payments are required, each such payment will be made on the date which follows the prior payment by twelve months.

	
5.3

	
If a Participant should die prior to attaining his Early Retirement Date or his Normal Retirement Date, no benefits will be payable from this Plan.  If a Participant should die without a Surviving Spouse, no benefit under this Section V is payable.

  

  

  

SECTION VI - MISCELLANEOUS

	
6.1

	
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate, suspend or amend this Plan at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part.  However, no amendment or suspension of the Plan will affect any of the following:

	
  

	
(a)

	
a retired Participant’s right or the right of such retired Participant’s Surviving Spouse to continue to receive a benefit in accordance with the terms of the Plan as in effect on the date such Participant commenced to receive a benefit under the Plan; and

	
  

	
(b)

	
the right of any Participant not covered under Section 6.1(a) above to receive benefits that have been earned (with the amount of earned benefit determined in accordance with Section 3 based on Earnings and Service as of the date of the amendment or suspension) payable on the date they would have been paid if the Plan had not been amended or suspended, all in accordance with the Plan in effect on the date of such amendment or suspension.

In the event the Plan is terminated, any earned benefits (whether or not in pay status) will be non-forfeitable.  The Company shall pay the benefit earned to date in the Two Payment Deferred Lump Sum form described in Section 3.5, with the first such payment made on the February 1 of the year following the later of the year that the Participant has a Separation from Service or the year that the Participant reaches (or would have reached) his or her Early Retirement Date.  The terms and restrictions of Section 3.5 shall apply to such payments, including the $500,000 maximum that may be paid at any one time, and the six month delay for distributions triggered by a Separation from Service.

	
6.2

	
Nothing contained herein will confer upon any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company, nor will it interfere with the right of the Company to discharge or otherwise deal with Participants without regard to the existence of this Plan.

	
6.3

	
This Plan is unfunded, and the Company will make Plan benefit payments solely on a current disbursement basis from its general assets.

	
6.4

	
To the maximum extent permitted by law, no benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, claims of creditors, pledge, attachment or encumbrances of any kind.

	
6.5

	
The Committee, in its sole discretion, may adopt rules, regulations, and interpretations to assist it in the administration of the Plan.  The Committee shall have complete and discretionary authority to determine eligibility, the amount of benefits payable under the Plan, and to make other interpretations, including factual determinations under the plan.

	
6.6

	
Each Participant shall receive a copy of this Plan, and the Committee will make available for inspection by any Participant a copy of the rules and regulations used by the Committee in administering the Plan.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any Participants are named in Schedules to this Plan only those Participants shall receive a copy of such Schedule.

	
6.7

	
This Plan is established under, and will be construed according to, the laws of the State of Wisconsin, except to the extent preempted by ERISA or other federal law.

	
6.8

	
Claims Procedure

	
.  The Committee shall notify the Participant or any beneficiary (“Claimant”) in writing, within 90 days of his written application for benefits, of his eligibility or ineligibility for benefits under the Plan.  If the Committee determines that a claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (a) the specific reasons for such denial, (b) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, (c) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his claim, and a description of why it is needed, (d) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed (including the applicable time limits, a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive upon request, free of charge, access to and copies of all documents and other information relevant to the claim, and a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring a civil action if the claimant’s review is denied), and (e) in the case of claims based on disability, copies of or the right to request free of charge any internal rule, guideline or protocol that was relied upon in denying the claim.  If the Committee determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Committee shall notify the claimant of the special circumstances and of the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90-day period.

If the Committee determines that a claimant is ineligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Committee by filing a petition for review with the Committee within 60 days after receipt of the notice issued by the Committee.  Said petition shall state the specific reasons why the claimant believes that he is entitled to benefits, greater benefits, or different benefits.  Within 60 days after receipt by the Committee of said petition, the Committee shall afford the claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his position to the committee orally or in writing, and the claimant (or counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his position to the Committee orally or in writing, ad the claimant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents.  Within the 60-day period, the Committee shall notify the claimant of its decision in writing.  The Committee’s written notice to the claimant shall set forth specifically the basis of the Committee’s decision and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based and shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant.  If, because of the need for a hearing, the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60-day period at the election of the Committee, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the claimant.  In the event of the death of a claimant, the same procedure shall be applicable to the claimant’s beneficiaries.

Special procedures apply if a claim is based upon an assertion that the Participant is Disabled.  If a claim of disability is wholly or partially denied, the Committee must furnish the claimant with a written notice of this denial no later than 45 days after the receipt of the claim.  However, the Committee may request up to two extensions of up to 30 days each to process the claim by providing notice of the extension within the original 45 day period or within the initial 30 day extension period (whichever applies).  Each notice must state the special circumstances requiring the extension of time, the standards on which entitlement to benefits based on disability are based, and the date by which the Committee expects to render a decision on the claim.  If additional information is needed to process the claim, the claimant will be given at least 45 days to provide such information.

If a claim for benefits based on disability is denied, and the claimant wishes to submit the claim for a hearing and review, the claimant must file the claim for review no later than 180 days after receiving written notification of the denial of his claim for benefits.  The claimant may submit written documents and other information relating to the claim.  The review will be conducted by an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the person who denied the initial claim nor a subordinate of that person, and no deference will be given to the initial decision of the claim.  If the claim is based on a medical judgment, the person conducting the review will consult with an appropriate health care professional (but not the same professional who was consulted in connection with the original denial of the claim, or his or her subordinate), and will, upon the request of the claimant, provide the claimant with the names of all medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained in connection with the original denial of the claim.  A hearing on the claim will be conducted within 45 days.
