THIS PERFORMANCE STOCK AWARD GRANT AGREEMENT
(the “Agreement”), by and between TWIN DISC,
INCORPORATED (the “Company”) and
_____________________________________ (the “Employee”)
is dated this 3 rd
day of August, 2009, to memorialize
an award of performance stock of even date herewith.
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
grant performance stock awards that entitle an employee of the
Company receiving such award to shares of common stock of the
Company if the Company achieves a predetermined performance
objective; and
WHEREAS, effective August 3, 2009, the Committee
made an award of performance stock to the Employee as an inducement
to achieve the below described performance objective.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and of the covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. Performance
Stock Award 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 has granted Employee
a performance stock award effective August 3, 2009. Such
performance stock award shall entitle the Employee to receive the
number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the
“Shares”) awarded pursuant to the table below if the
Company achieves the economic profit objective stated below (the
“Performance Objective”):

The Performance Objective is the amount of the
Company’s economic profit (measured as the difference between
the Company’s cumulative net operating profit after taxes and
the Company’s cumulative capital charge) for the cumulative
three fiscal year period ending June 30, 2012, as specified in the
table above. If the Company achieves the maximum
Performance Objective as specified on the table above, the Employee
will earn the maximum number of Shares. If the Company
achieves the target Performance Objective as specified on the table
above, the Employee will receive the target number of
Shares. If the Company achieves the threshold
Performance Objective stated above, the Employee will earn the
threshold number of Shares. No Shares will be earned for
performance below the 3-year cumulative economic profit threshold
and no additional Shares will be earned for performance exceeding
the 3-year cumulative economic profit maximum. In the
event that the Company’s economic profit is between the
achievement levels set forth in the above table, the number of
Shares awarded shall be determined by interpolation. Any
fractional share of the Company resulting from such interpolation
shall be rounded up to a whole share of the Company. The
Committee shall certify whether and to what extent such Performance
Objective is satisfied before any Shares are
awarded. Such certification, and the issuance of Shares
pursuant to such certification, shall be made within 2½
months after June 30, 2012.
2. Price Paid by
Employee . The price to be paid by the Employee for
the Shares granted shall be
No
Dollars ($
0.00 ) per
share.
3. Voluntary
Termination of Employment Prior to Retirement/Termination for
Cause . If prior to attaining the Performance
Objective an Employee voluntarily terminates employment prior to
the Employee becoming eligible for normal or early retirement under
the Company’s defined benefit pension plan covering the
Employee or the employment of the Employee is terminated for cause,
the performance stock granted to the Employee shall be
forfeited. The Committee shall conclusively determine
whether the Employee was terminated for cause for purposes of this
performance stock award.
4. Termination of
Employment due to Death or Disability . If prior to
attaining the Performance Objective the Employee terminates
employment due to death or disability, a prorated portion of the
performance stock granted shall immediately vest, and the Company
shall deliver shares of Company stock underlying such prorated
awards as if the maximum Performance Objective had been fully
achieved. Such payment shall be made no later than 2-1/2
months after the Employee’s termination of employment due to
death or disability. The prorated award shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares underlying the award
by a fraction, the numerator of which is
