Purpose
|

The
purpose of this Annual Stock-Based Long-Term Incentive Award Plan
for Senior Executives (the “Plan”) is to motivate the
senior executive officers of Graham Corporation (the
“Company”) to increase shareholder value by providing
them long-term stock-based awards for above-average Company
performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Administration
|
|
The
Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”),
which shall have final and conclusive authority to administer and
interpret the Plan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eligibility
|
|
Eligible employees will include the
President and Chief Executive Officer and such officer’s
direct reports, subject to the approval by the Committee of such
participation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Award Periods
|
|
Annual awards under the Plan will be
based on the fiscal year of the Company, beginning with its
April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 fiscal year (each, a
“Fiscal Year”).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Awards
|
|
Unless the Committee determines
otherwise, annual awards under the Plan for the Fiscal Year that
commences in 2009 will consist of nonqualified stock options
(“Options”) and shares of time-vesting restricted stock
(“Time-Vested Restricted Stock”), which awards will be
issued under the Amended and Restated 2000 Graham Corporation
Incentive Plan to Increase Shareholder Value, or a successor plan
thereto (the “Incentive Plan”), and will be subject to
the terms thereof.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless the Committee determines
otherwise, annual awards under the Plan for Fiscal Years that
commence in even years (e.g., 2010, 2012, 2014, etc.) (each, an
“Even Fiscal Year”) will consist of Options and shares
of performance-vesting restricted stock (“Performance-Vested
Restricted Stock,” and together with Time-Vested Restricted
Stock, “Restricted Stock”), which awards will be issued
under the Incentive Plan, and will be subject to the terms
thereof.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless the Committee determines
otherwise, annual awards under the Plan for Fiscal Years that
commence in odd years other than 2009 (e.g., 2011, 2013, 2015,
etc.) (each, an “Odd Fiscal Year”) will consist of
Time-Vested Restricted Stock and Performance-Vested Restricted
Stock, which awards will be issued under the Amended and Restated
2000 Graham Corporation Incentive Plan to Increase Shareholder
Value, or a successor plan thereto (the “Incentive
Plan”), and will be subject to the terms thereof.

|
|
|
Options .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless the Committee determines
otherwise, Options will be issued with an exercise price equal to
the Fair Market Value (as such term is defined by the Incentive
Plan) of a share of Company common stock on the date of grant, with
a term of ten years, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
will vest over three years, 33.33%
percent per year, beginning with the first anniversary of the date
of grant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
number of Options to be issued to an eligible employee for a Fiscal
Year will be determined by multiplying 50 percent (or such
other percentage as may be determined by the Committee) of the
eligible employee’s base salary in effect for the Fiscal Year
by such employee’s Target L-T Incentive Percentage, and then
dividing by the Black Scholes value of such a stock option on the
date of determination, rounded to the nearest whole
number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each employee’s Target L-T
Incentive Percentage is set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and for
a given Fiscal Year is subject to amendment by the Committee prior
to the commencement of such Fiscal Year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Time-Vested Restricted
Stock .

|
|
Unless the Committee determines
otherwise, Time-Vested Restricted Stock will vest as follows:
50 percent of the shares on the second anniversary of the date
of grant and the remaining 50 percent on the fourth
anniversary of the date of grant.
