Summary of Changes to Director Compensation, Effective 1/16/08

 Exhibit 10.5 
 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION 
 Form 10-Q for Quarterly Period Ended December 30, 2007

 SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO DIRECTOR COMPENSATION 

 SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO DIRECTOR COMPENSATON 
 At its quarterly meeting on January 16, 2008, the Board of Directors modified the manner in which nonemployee directors receive company common stock
as part of their annual compensation. 
 Effective immediately, the portion of each director’s annual retainer fee that is payable in
the company’s common stock shall be credited to the director’s account in the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (the “Plan”). The shares will vest when the director retires as a director. While the director is serving on
the Board, his or her deferred stock will accrue additional shares of stock in lieu of a cash dividend. In addition, the annual stock grants to the chairman of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee and
to each member of the Audit Committee will be credited to such director’s account in the Plan. 
 Under the Plan, any nonemployee
director may also elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her director’s cash compensation until any date but no later than the year in which the director attains the age of 73 years. Participants may elect to have cash deferred
amounts (1) credited with interest quarterly at 80% of the prevailing prime rate, or (2) converted into common share units based on the deferral date closing price of Briggs & Stratton’s common stock. Any balance in the
common stock account will be credited with an amount equivalent to any dividend paid on Briggs & Stratton’s common stock, which will be converted into additional common share units. Common share units may be distributed in cash or
stock at the election of the directors.Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, Effective 1/1/08

 COMPENSATION
PLAN FOR DIRECTORS 
 Effective January 1, 2008 

 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION 
 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS 
 AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

 January 1, 2008 
 SECTION I  
 PURPOSE 
  

	1.1	For periods prior to calendar year 2005, Briggs & Stratton Corporation has maintained the Briggs & Stratton Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors.
Amounts deferred prior to January 1, 2005 (which were all fully vested under Plan terms), including past and future earnings credited thereon, shall remain subject to the terms of the Plan as previously in effect (the “Frozen Plan”)
but no further amounts shall be deferred under the Frozen Plan. All deferrals to the Plan for periods on or after January 1, 2005 shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this document. This document is intended to comply with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and shall be interpreted accordingly. If any provision or term of this document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then such
provision or term shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with Section 409A of the Code. This document describes how this Plan shall be administered for periods after 2007. For periods after 2004 and prior to 2008, it has been administered in
good faith compliance with the provisions of Code Section 409A. 

 SECTION II  
 DEFINITIONS 
  

	2.1	“Beneficiary” shall mean the person or persons designated from time to time in writing by a Participant to receive payments under the Plan after the death of such
Participant, or, in the absence of any such designation or, in the event that such designated person or persons shall predecease such Participant, his or her estate. 

  

	2.2	“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, including any subsequent amendments. 

  

	2.3	“Common Share Unit” shall mean a Deferred Amount which is converted into a unit or fraction of a unit for purposes of the Plan by dividing a dollar amount by the
Fair Market Value of one of the Corporation’s common shares. 

  

	2.4	“Corporation” shall mean Briggs & Stratton Corporation. 

  

 2 

	2.5	“Common Stock” shall mean shares of Briggs & Stratton Corporation common stock. 

  

	2.6	“Compensation” shall mean cash payments which the Participant receives from the Corporation for services, including retainer fees, meeting fees and consent
resolution fees. 

  

	2.7	“Deferred Amount” shall mean an amount of Compensation deferred under the Plan and carried during the deferral period in any Account provided for in the Plan.

  

	2.8	“Distribution Date” means the date specified by the Participant pursuant to Section 7.2 upon which distribution shall be made or commenced following the
Participant’s Separation from Service or In-Service Payment Event Date, as the case may be. The Distribution Date selected by the Participant must be on the first day of a calendar quarter and may be no later than 12 months after the
Participant’s Separation from Service or In-Service Payment Event Date, whichever is the cause of the distribution. With respect to installment distributions, each anniversary of the Distribution Date shall also be a Distribution Date.

  

	2.9	“Dividend Equivalent” shall mean an amount equal to the cash dividend paid on one of the Corporation’s common shares credited to an Account for each Common
Share Unit or Share of Common Stock credited to such Account. 

  

	2.10	“In-Service Payment Event Date” means the date, if any, specified by the Participant pursuant to Section 7.2 as the reference date following which distribution
of his Account shall begin. An In-Service Payment Event Date may be no earlier than January 1, 2009. An In-Service Payment Event Date shall be inapplicable to the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to Common Stock awards
pursuant to Section IV. 

  

	2.11	“Fair Market Value” shall mean the closing price of the Corporation’s common shares as reported by the New York Stock Exchange or such other exchange or
national market system on which the Corporation’s common shares may then be listed or quoted. 

  

	2.12	“Non-Employee Director” shall mean any duly elected or appointed member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation who is not an employee of the Corporation or of
any subsidiary of the Corporation. 

  

	2.13	“Participant” shall mean any Non-Employee Director. 

  

	2.14	“Payment Event” means the earlier of the date of a Participant’s Separation From Service or the date the Participant specifies as his In-Service Payment Event
Date. 

  

	2.15	“Plan” shall mean this Briggs & Stratton Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, as amended and restated. 

  

 3 

	2.16	“Plan Year” means the calendar year. 

  

	2.17	“Secretary” shall mean the duly elected Secretary of the Corporation. 

  

	2.18	“Separation from Service” means expiration or termination of the arrangement with the Corporation pursuant to which the Participant performed services as a director
of the Corporation if such expiration or termination constitutes a good faith and complete termination of the relationship and all other independent contractor relationships the Participant has with the Corporation. A good faith and complete
termination of a relationship shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Corporation anticipates a renewal of a contractual relationship or anticipates that the Participant shall become an employee of the Corporation. For this purpose, the
Corporation is considered to anticipate the renewal of a contractual relationship with the Participant if it intends to contract again for the services provided under the expired arrangement, and neither the Corporation nor the Participant has
eliminated the Participant as a possible provider of services under any such new arrangement. Further, the Corporation is considered to intend to contract again for the services provided under an expired arrangement if the Corporation’s doing
so is conditioned only upon incurring a need for the services, the availability of funds or both. The foregoing requirements are deemed satisfied if no amount will be paid to the Participant before a date at least 12 months after the day on which
the arrangement expires pursuant to which the Participant performed services for the Corporation (or, in the case of more than one arrangement, all such arrangements expire) and no amount payable to the Participant on that date will be paid to the
Participant if, after the expiration of the arrangement (or arrangements) and before that date, the Participant performs services for the Corporation as a director or other independent contractor or an employee). If a Participant provides services
both as an employee of the Corporation and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the services provided as an employee are not taken into account in determining whether the Participant has a Separation from Service as a Director
for purposes of this Plan because this Plan is not aggregated with any plan in which the Participant participates as an employee pursuant to IRS Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2)(ii). 

 SECTION III  
 DEFERRAL
ELECTION, MODIFICATION 
 AND TERMINATION PROCEDURES 
  

	3.1	 Any Non-Employee Director wishing to defer payment of all or a portion of the Non-Employee Director’s Compensation payable in the future must file with the
Secretary of the Corporation at P. 0. Box 702, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201, a written Notice of Election on the form attached as Exhibit “A.” An effective election with regard to future Compensation, payment of which has not yet been
deferred, may be modified by filing a new Notice of Election or may be terminated by filing a Notice 

  

 4 

	 	 
of Termination on the form attached as Exhibit “B”. Any election made by a Participant pursuant to this Section III shall apply only to
Compensation payable for services rendered in the Plan Year subsequent to the Plan Year in which the election is filed with the Secretary. However, a Director who is not already eligible to participate in any other deferred compensation plan of the
account balance type sponsored by the Corporation or an affiliate who becomes a Participant for the first time during a Plan Year (i.e., first becomes a Director) may within 30 days after the effective date of participation make an election to defer
a specified percentage of compensation to be paid to him for services to be performed subsequent to the deferral election. 

 SECTION IV  
 ANNUAL GRANT OF COMMON STOCK 
  

	4.1	In August of each year, a grant of Common Stock shall be credited to each Participant’s Account. The contribution of Common Stock shall be credited on the Specified Date. The
“Specified Date” for a year shall be the same day that executives of the Corporation are granted stock awards under the Corporation’s equity plan in August of that year or, if no awards are granted in that August, the Specified Date
for that year shall be August 31st. The number of shares of Common Stock to be credited each Specified Date shall be such number of shares as has a value on that date equal to $75,000.00 for each Participant plus an additional $10,000.00 for
the Chairman of the Audit Committee, an additional $7,500.00 for the Chairmen of the Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees and $5,000.00 for each member of the Audit Committee. The dollar amounts specified above to be applicable in
any Plan Year shall be automatically changed to such other amounts specified in a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted no later than December 31 of the preceding Plan Year. 

 SECTION V  
 ESTABLISHMENT
AND ADMINISTRATION OF 
 DEFERRED DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS 
  

	5.1	The amount of any Participant’s Compensation deferred in accordance with an election and/or the amount of Common Stock automatically credited pursuant to Section IV shall be
credited to an Account maintained by the Corporation. Such Account shall remain a part of the general funds of the Corporation, and nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to create a trust or fund of any kind or create any fiduciary
relationship. A separate record of each Participant’s Account shall be maintained by the Corporation for each Participant in the Plan. The Participant’s Account shall segregate the reporting of Common Stock contributions and cash
deferrals. 

  

 5 

 The Director shall elect to have any cash deferrals hereunder credited with earnings in accordance with
Section 5.2 or 5.3 below. 
  

	5.2	Fixed Rate Account. 

 As of the last day of each
calendar quarter, the portion of the Participant’s Account for which the Participant has selected earnings to be credited pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be adjusted as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	The Participant’s Account shall first be charged with any distributions made during the quarter. 

  

	 	(b)	The Participant’s Account balance shall then be credited with a supplemental amount for that quarter. Such supplemental amount shall be computed by multiplying the Account
balance after the adjustment provided for in paragraph (a) by a fraction, the numerator of which is 80% of the prevailing prime interest rate at US Bank on the last business day of the quarter, and the denominator of which is four (4).

  

	 	(c)	Finally, the Account shall be credited with the amount, if any, of cash Compensation deferred during that quarter. 

  

	5.3	Brings & Stratton Common Share Unit Account. 

 Compensation deferred into a Common Share Unit Account shall be credited to the Account on the same date as it would otherwise be payable to the Participant. Such Deferred Amounts shall be converted into a number of Common Share Units on
the date credited to the Account by dividing the Deferred Amount by the Fair Market Value on such date. If Common Share Units exist in a Participant’s Account on a dividend record date for the Corporation’s common shares, Dividend
Equivalents shall be credited to the Participant’s Account on the related dividend payment date, and shall be converted into the number of Common Share Units which could be purchased with the amount of Dividend Equivalents so credited.

  

	5.4	Brings & Stratton Common Stock Account. 

 Any Common Stock granted under Section IV shall be credited to the Account in shares on the same date as granted. If Common Stock exists in the Participant’s Account on a dividend record date for the Corporation’s common shares,
Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the Participant’s Account on the related dividend payment date, and shall be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock which could be purchased with the amount of Dividend Equivalents so
credited. 
  

 6 

	5.5	Adjustments to Shares. 

 In the event of any change
in the Corporation’s common shares outstanding, by reason of any stock split or dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of stock or similar corporate change, the Secretary shall make such equitable
adjustments, if any, by reason of any such change, deemed appropriate in the number of Common Share Units and/or Common Stock credited to each Participant’s Account. 
  

	5.6	Annual Report. 

 The Corporation shall provide annual reports to each Participant showing (a) the value of the Account as of the most recent December 31st, (b) the amount of deferral made by the Participant
for the Plan Year ending on such date and (c) the amount of any investment gain or loss and the costs of administration credited or debited to the Participant’s Account. 
 SECTION VI  
 VESTING 
  

	6.1	Full Vesting. A Participant shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times in his or her Account hereunder. 

 SECTION VII  
 MANNER AND
TIMING OF DISTRIBUTION 
  

	7.1	Payment of Benefits. 

 After a Participant’s
Payment Event the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s Beneficiary). Payment shall be made in a Single Sum or Installments as specified in the
Participant’s payment election pursuant to Section 7.2: 
  

	 	(a)	Single Sum. A single sum distribution of the value of the balance of the Account on the Distribution Date following the Participant’s Payment Event. If the Participant
receives a single sum distribution before Separation from Service with the result that additional amounts are subsequently deposited in the Participant’s Account, a distribution shall be made on each succeeding anniversary of the Distribution
Date of the entire value of the then balance of the Account. 

  

	 	(b)	 Installments. The value of the balance of the Account shall be paid in annual installments on the Distribution Date each year with the first of such
installments to be paid on the Distribution Date following the Participant’s Payment Event. 

  

 7 

	 	 
Annual installments shall be paid over the number of years selected by the Participant in the payment election made pursuant to Section 7.2, but not to
exceed 10. The earnings (or losses) provided for in Section V shall continue to accrue on the balance remaining in the Account during the period of installment payments. Each annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying the value of
the Account by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects a 10 year annual installment method, the first
payment shall be one-tenth (1/10) of the Account balance. The following year, the payment shall be one-ninth (1/9) of the Account balance. Further, regardless of the method selected by the Participant, the final installment payment will
include 100% of the then remaining Account value. Installment Distributions from the Participant’s account shall be taken on a pro rata basis from the Fixed Rate Account, the Common Share Unit Account and the Common Stock Account.

 To the extent the Participant has a balance in the Fixed Rate Account, distribution will be made in cash. To the extent
the Participant has a balance in Common Stock, distribution will be made in shares of Common Stock. To the extent the Participant has a balance in Common Share Units, the Participant may elect to receive distributions in cash or Common Stock;
provided that any such distributions shall be subject to any necessary approvals under securities laws or exchange requirements. Notice of the election with respect to Common Share Units shall be delivered to the Secretary no more than 30 nor less
than 10 days preceding the distribution, and, if a cash distribution has been elected, the amount of the distribution shall be determined by valuing units to be distributed at the Fair Market Value of Common Stock two business days preceding the
distribution. 
  

	7.2	Payment Election. 

  

	 	(a)	 An individual who first becomes a Participant at the beginning of a Plan Year may, prior to his date of participation, complete a payment election in the form
attached as Exhibit D specifying the form of payment applicable to such Participant’s Account under the Plan, whether an In-Service Payment Event Date shall apply and the applicable Distribution Date. Absent an actual election by such
Participant by the effective date of participation, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected payment in the five (5) annual installment payment form (except he shall be deemed to have elected the Single Sum form for the Common Stock
portion of his Account) and no In-Service Payment Event Date. An individual who first becomes a Participant other than on the first day of a Plan Year shall, no later than 30 days after the effective date of participation, complete such a payment
election form specifying the form of payment applicable to such Participant’s Account, whether an In-Service Payment Event Date shall apply and the applicable Distribution Date. In the event such a Participant does not make an actual election
within such 30 day period, the Participant shall be deemed to 

  

 8 

	 	 
have elected the five (5) annual installment payment form and no In-Service Payment Event Date. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, if such
Participant is already a participant in any other nonqualified plan or plans of the account balance type sponsored by the Corporation or one of its affiliates, the most recent payment election with respect to any one of those plans shall be the form
of payment election deemed elected under this Plan regardless of whether the individual elects or is deemed to have elected a different form of payment during that initial 30 day period, there shall be no In-Service Payment Event Date and the
Distribution Date shall be the same distribution date which would apply under that other plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Any actual or deemed Distribution Election shall apply to deferrals and Common Stock credited in each Plan Year after it is filed (or deemed filed) and before a new Distribution
Election is filed and becomes effective for Plan Years after the new Distribution Election is filed. A Participant may have multiple Distribution Elections in effect. For example, an individual who is a Participant in the Plan for five Plan Years
who files a new Distribution Election prior to the beginning of each Plan Year will have five Distribution Elections in effect—one for each Plan Year he is a Participant. An individual who is a Participant for five Plan Years who files only one
Distribution Election at the commencement of Plan participation will have one Distribution Election governing all of the deferrals and contributions credited to his Account for the five Plan Years he is a Participant. 

  

	 	(c)	A Participant may change an existing Distribution Election for deferrals and contributions which have already been credited, by completing and filing a change of Distribution
Election. However, a payment election changing the Participant’s form of payment or changing a previously elected In-Service Payment Date and/or applicable Distribution Date shall not be effective if the Participant has a Payment Event within
twelve months after the date on which the election change is filed with the Corporation. Any change in the In-Service Payment Event Date must have the effect of delaying the In-Service Payment Event Date to a date which is at least five
(5) years after the In-Service Payment Event Date previously in effect. Any change in payment method must have the effect of delaying the commencement of payments to a date which is at least five (5) years after the initially scheduled
commencement date of payment previously in effect. Any change in the Distribution Date must have the effect of delaying the commencement of payments to a date which is at least five (5) years after the initially scheduled Distribution Date.

  

	 	(d)	For purposes of compliance with Code Section 409A, a series of installment payments is designated as a single payment rather than a right to a series of separate payments;
therefore, a Participant who has elected (or is deemed to have elected) any option under Section 7.1 may substitute any other options available under Section 7.1 for the option originally selected as long as the foregoing one-year and five
year rules are satisfied. 

  

 9 

	 	(e)	The five year delay rule does not apply if the revised payment method applies only upon the Participant’s death or disability. For this purpose, “disability” means
that the Participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not
less than 12 months. 

  

	7.3	Delayed Distribution. 

  

	 	(a)	A payment otherwise required under this Section VII shall be delayed if the Corporation reasonably determines that the making of the payment will jeopardize the ability of the
Corporation to continue as a going concern; provided, however, that payments shall be made on the earliest date on which the Corporation reasonably determines that the making of the payment will not jeopardize the ability of the Corporation to
continue as a going concern. 

  

	 	(b)	A payment otherwise required under this Section VII shall be delayed if the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or
other applicable law; provided, however, that payments shall nevertheless be made on the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. (The making of a payment that would
cause inclusion in gross income or the applicability of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.) 

  

	 	(c)	A payment otherwise required under this Section VII shall be delayed upon such other events and conditions as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable
guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. 

  

	7.4	Inclusion in Income Under Section 409A. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section VII, in the event this Plan fails to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder with respect to any Participant, there shall be distributed to such
Participant as promptly as possible after the Board of Directors becomes aware of such fact of noncompliance such portion of the Participant’s Account balance hereunder as is included in income as a result of the failure to comply, but no more.
Any such distribution shall be taken on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s accounts herein. 
  

 10 

	7.5	Domestic Relations Order. 

 Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section VII, payments shall be made from an account of a Participant in this Plan to such individual or individuals (other than the Participant) and at such times as are necessary to comply with a domestic relations order (as
defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)). Any such distribution shall be taken on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s accounts herein. 
  

	7.6	De Minimis Amounts. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section VII, a Participant’s entire Account balance under this Plan and all other nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the account balance type sponsored by the
Corporation and its affiliates shall automatically be distributed to the Participant on or before the later of December 31 of the calendar year in which occurs the Participant’s Separation from Service or the 15th day of the
third month following the Participant’s Separation from Service if the total amount in such Account balance at the time of distribution, when aggregated with all other amounts payable to the Participant under all arrangements benefiting the
Participant described in Section 1.409A-1(c) or any successor thereto, do not exceed the amount described in Code Section 402(g)(1)(B). The foregoing lump sum payment shall be made automatically and any other distribution elections
otherwise applicable with respect to the individual in the absence of this provision shall not apply. 
 SECTION VIII 

 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY 
  

	8.1	Each Non-Employee Director, on becoming a Participant, may file with the Secretary of the Corporation a Beneficiary designation on the form attached as Exhibit “C”
designating one or more Beneficiaries to whom payments otherwise due the Participant shall be made in the event of his or her death. A Beneficiary designation will be effective only if the signed Beneficiary designation form is filed with the
Secretary of the Corporation while the Participant is alive, and will cancel all Beneficiary designations signed and filed previously. If the primary Beneficiary shall predecease the Participant amounts remaining unpaid at the time of the
Participant’s death shall be paid in the form elected by the Participant in Section 7.2 in the order specified by the Participant to the contingent Beneficiary(s) surviving the Participant. If the Participant shall fail to designate a
Beneficiary(s) as provided in this Section, or if all designated Beneficiaries shall predecease the Participant, the Deferred Amounts remaining unpaid at the time of such Participant’s death shall be paid in the form elected by the Participant
in Section 7.2 to the legal representative of the Participant’s estate. 

  

 11 

 SECTION IX  
 ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN 
  

	9.1	Interpretation. 

 Full power and authority to
construe, interpret and administer the Plan shall be vested in the Corporation’s Board of Directors. Decision of the Board shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties. 
  

	9.2	Minor or Incompetent Payees. 

 If a person to whom a
benefit is payable is a minor or is otherwise incompetent by reason of a physical or mental disability, the Corporation may cause the payments due to such person to be made to another person for the first person’s benefit without any
responsibility to see to the application of such payment. Such payments shall operate as a complete discharge of the obligations to such person under the Plan. 
  

	9.3	No Liability. 

 Except as otherwise provided by law,
neither the Board of Directors, nor any member thereof, nor any director, officer or employee of the Corporation involved in the administration of the Plan shall be liable for any error of judgment, action or failure to act hereunder or for any good
faith exercise of discretion, excepting only liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Corporation shall hold harmless and defend any individual in the employment of the Corporation and any director of the Corporation against any
claim, action or liability asserted against him in connection with any action or failure to act regarding the Plan, except as and to the extent that any such liability may be based upon the individual’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. This indemnification shall not duplicate but may supplement any coverage available under any applicable insurance. 
  

	9.4	Conflict of Interest. 

  

	 	(a)	No person who is covered under the Plan may vote or decide upon any matter relating solely to himself or vote in any case in which his individual right to any benefit under the Plan
is particularly involved. Decisions shall be made by remaining members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors. 

  

	 	(b)	Paragraph (a) shall not prevent any Participant from voting or deciding upon any matter relating to the general design or structure of the Plan. 

  

 12 

 SECTION X  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	10.1	Amendment or Termination. 

 The Corporation (through
its Board of Directors or authorized officers or employees) reserves the right to alter or amend the Plan, or any part thereof, in such manner as it may determine, at any time and for any reason. Further, the Board of Directors of the Corporation
reserves the right to terminate the Plan, at any time and for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any amendment or termination deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any amounts credited to him or her under this Plan as
of the date of such amendment or termination; provided, however, that the Corporation may prospectively change the manner in which earnings are credited or discontinue the crediting of earnings and, further, the Corporation may make any amendment it
deems necessary or desirable for purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder. 
 If the
Plan is amended to freeze benefit accruals, no additional contributions shall be credited to any Participant Account hereunder. Following such a freeze of benefit accruals, Participants’ Accounts shall be paid at such time and in such form as
provided under Section VII of the Plan. If the Corporation terminates the Plan and if the termination is of the type described in regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code Section 409A, then the Corporation shall
distribute the then existing Account balances of Participants and beneficiaries in a lump sum within the time period specified in such regulations and, following such distribution, there shall be no further obligation to any Participant or
beneficiary under this Plan. However, if the termination is not of the type described in such regulations, then following Plan termination Participants’ Accounts shall be paid at such time and in such form as provided under Section VII of the
plan. 
  

	10.2	Applicable Law. 

 This Plan shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Wisconsin, except to the extent preempted by the provisions of ERISA or other applicable federal law. 
  

	10.3	Relationship to Other Programs. 

 Participation in
the Plan shall not affect a Participant’s rights to participate in and receive benefits under any other plans of the Corporation, nor shall it affect the Participant’s rights under any other agreement entered into with the Corporation,
unless expressly provided otherwise by such plan or agreement. Any amount credited under or paid pursuant to this Plan shall not be treated as any type of compensation or otherwise taken into account in the determination of the Participant’s
benefits under any other plans of the Corporation, unless expressly provided otherwise by such plan. 
  

 13 

	10.4	Non-Assignability by Participant. 

 No Participant
or Beneficiary shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, pledge, convey, or otherwise transfer any rights or claims to receive benefits hereunder, nor shall such rights or claims be subject to garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any
kind except to the extent otherwise required by law. 
  

	10.5	No Right to Continued Service. 

 Neither
participation in this Plan, nor the payment of any benefit hereunder, shall be construed as giving to a Participant any right to be retained in the service of the Corporation, or limiting in any way the right of the Corporation to terminate the
Participant’s service at any time. 
  

	10.6	Assignability by Corporation. 

 The Corporation
shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and obligation in and under this Plan upon a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity or to the purchaser of substantially its entire business or assets or
the business or assets pertaining to a major product line, provided such assignee or purchaser assumes and agrees to perform after the effective date of such assignment all of the terms, conditions and provisions imposed by this Plan upon the
Corporation. Upon such assignment, all of the rights, as well as all obligations, of the Corporation under this Plan shall thereupon cease and terminate. 
  

	10.7	Unsecured Claim; Grantor Trust. 

 The right of a
Participant to receive payment hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Corporation, and no provisions contained herein, nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed to give any individual at any time a security
interest in any asset of the Corporation, of any affiliated corporation, or of the stockholders of the Corporation. The liabilities of the Corporation to a Participant hereunder shall be those of a debtor pursuant to such contractual obligations as
are created hereunder and to the extent any person acquires a right to receive payment from the Corporation hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation. The Corporation may establish
a grantor trust (but shall not be required to do so) to which the Corporation may in its discretion contribute (subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Corporation) the amounts credited to the Account. If a grantor trust is so
established, payment by the trust of the amounts due the Participant or his Beneficiary hereunder shall be considered a payment by the Corporation for purposes of this Plan. 
  

 14 

	10.8	Notices or Filings.
