The Award is granted subject to the enclosed Terms and Conditions – [2020-2022] Performance Stock Unit Award – Relative TSR (the “Terms and Conditions”).

You have been granted a base award of [ ] Performance Stock Units. The number of PSUs for your base Award was determined by multiplying your current annual base salary by your Award multiple (set by Senior Management and approved by the Compensation Committee) and dividing this amount by the average closing share price of the Company’s stock for the 10 trading days following the [2019] fourth quarter earnings release.

A percentage of your base award will vest on December 31, [2022] and will be paid out by March 15, [2023]. Fifty percent of your vested Award will be paid out in cash, and the Company intends to pay out the remaining 50% in shares of the Company’s common stock.

As described in the Terms and Conditions, the payout you ultimately receive from this Award depends on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return compared to our Peer Group (“Relative TSR”) according to the schedule below.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS - PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD

Relative TSR

[2020-2022]

1.     Performance Period. Your payout under this Performance Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) will depend on (i) the base award shown on your Award Agreement and (ii) the Company’s performance during the three-year period beginning January 1, [2020] and ending December 31, [2022] (the “Performance Period”).

2.    Performance Objectives. The payout under this Award is based upon the Company’s relative Total Shareholder Return (“Relative TSR”), which compares the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) during the Performance Period to the TSR of all the companies in the Industrial, Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors of the S&P 500 and the S&P 400 (the “Peer Group”). TSR is calculated as follows and assumes dividends are reinvested on the ex-dividend date:

Ending Stock Price – Beginning Stock Price + Reinvested Dividends

Beginning Stock Price

The “Beginning Stock Price” is the average closing share price of the Company’s stock for the last 20 trading days prior to the Performance Period. The “Ending Stock Price” is the average closing share price of the Company’s stock for the last 20 trading days within the Performance Period.

Your Award will vest according to the following Relative TSR schedule. Payouts will be interpolated for results falling between the levels shown.

Relative  TSR Percentile						Relative TSR Vesting %
<25%						0%
25%						25%
30%						35%
35%						45%
40%						55%
45%						65%
50%						75%
55%						100%
60%						125%
65%						150%
70%						175%
75%						200%
>75%						200%

Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, in the event that the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period is negative (Ending Stock Price plus Reinvested Dividends is less than the Beginning Stock Price), the Relative TSR vesting percentage will be capped at 100%.

3.     Vesting of Award and Form of Payout. With the exception of early vesting for circumstances described in Sections 4 and 5, this Award will vest on December 31, [2022] (the “Vesting Date”). Fifty percent (50%) of your vested Award will be paid out in cash (the “Cash Portion”), and the Company intends to pay out the remaining fifty percent (50%) in shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Portion”), although the Company reserves the right, subject to approval by the Committee (as defined below), to pay up to one hundred percent (100%) of the vested Award in cash. Your vested Award will be paid out as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Performance Period but in no event later than March 15, [2023] (the “Payout Date”). On the Payout Date, the Company will issue to you (i) one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested

Performance Stock Unit comprising the Stock Portion of your Award, subject to reduction for tax withholding, and (ii) a check with a gross value equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the Performance Period (or the date of the Change of Control if Section 5 applies) times the number of vested Performance Stock Units comprising the Cash Portion of your Award, subject to reduction for tax withholding as described in Section 8.

4. Termination of Employment.

a. Except as provided in Section 4(b), Section 4(c), and Section 5, if your employment is terminated for any reason before the Vesting Date, your right to this Award will terminate immediately upon such termination of employment.

b. If your termination of employment during the Performance Period is due to Retirement (as defined below), your Award will vest at the end of the Performance Period and will be prorated for the number of days during the Performance Period prior to your termination.

“Retirement” means you voluntarily quit (i) on or after age 65, or (ii) on or after the date at which the combination of your age and your years of service with the Company or any company or division acquired by the Company is greater than or equal to 70 years.

c.    If your termination of employment during the Performance Period is due to death or Disability (as defined below), your Award will vest immediately at 100% of your Base Award and be payable within 60 days of such event.

If, during the Performance Period, a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Flexible Stock Plan, the “Plan”) occurs and your employment is terminated either (i) by the Company (for reasons other than Disability or Cause, as defined below) or (ii) by you for Good Reason (as defined below), then the Company (or its successor) will issue to you 200% of your Base Award, within thirty (30) days following your termination of employment (subject to delay until the first day of the first month that is more than six months following your separation from service to the extent required in Section 16.7 of the Plan, if you are a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code).

a. Termination by Company for Cause. Termination for “Cause” under this Agreement shall be limited to the following:

Your continued, repeated, willful failure to substantially perform your duties; provided, however, that no discharge shall be deemed for Cause under this subsection (a) unless you first receive written notice from the Company advising you of specific acts or omissions alleged to constitute a failure to perform your duties, and such failure continues after you have had a reasonable opportunity to correct the acts or omissions so complained of.

A termination shall not be deemed for Cause if, for example, the termination results from the Company’s determination that your position is redundant or unnecessary or that your performance is unsatisfactory for reasons not otherwise specified above.

b. Termination by Employee for Good Reason. You may terminate your employment for “Good Reason” by giving notice of termination to the Company during the Performance Period following (i) any action or omission by the Company described in this Section or (ii) receipt of notice from the Company of the Company’s intention to take any such action or engage in any such omission.

The actions or omissions which may lead to a termination of employment for Good Reason are as follows:

i. A reduction by the Company in your base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

ii. A change in your reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control that results in a material diminution within the Company of title, status, authority or responsibility; or

iii. A material reduction in your target annual incentive opportunity as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, expressed as a percentage of base salary; or

iv. A requirement by the Company that you be based or perform your duties anywhere other than at the location immediately prior to the Change in Control, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

A notice of termination shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the Section so indicated.

d. Date of Termination. The date your employment is terminated under Section 5 of this Agreement is called the “Date of Termination.” In cases of Disability, the Date of Termination shall be 30 days after notice of termination is given (provided that you shall not have returned to the performance of your duties on a full-time basis during such 30-day period). If your employment is terminated for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date specified in the notice of termination. If your employment is terminated for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be the date set out in the notice of termination.

Any dispute by a party hereto regarding a notice of termination delivered to such party must be conveyed to the other party within 30 days after the notice of termination is given. If the particulars of the dispute are not conveyed within the 30-day period, then the disputing party’s claims regarding the termination shall be forever deemed waived.

7.     No Rights as Shareholder. You will not have the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Stock Portion of the Performance Stock Units until the underlying shares have been issued. You will not have the right to vote the shares or receive any dividends that may be paid on the underlying shares prior to issuance.

The Company will withhold (at the Company’s required withholding rate) any amount required to satisfy applicable tax laws (i) in cash from the Cash Portion of the payout and (ii) in shares from the Stock Portion of the payout.

The income and tax withholding generated by your payout will be reported on your W-2. If your personal income tax rate is higher than the Company’s required withholding rate, you will owe additional tax on the issuance. After payment of the ordinary income tax, the shares you receive for the Stock Portion of your payout will have a tax basis equal to the closing price of L&P stock on the Payout Date.

9.     Restrictive Covenants. Due to your leadership role in the Company, you are in a position of trust and confidence and have access to and knowledge of valuable confidential information of the Company, including business processes, techniques, plans, and strategies across the Company, trade secrets, sensitive financial and legal information, terms and arrangements with business partners, customers, and suppliers, trade secrets, and other confidential information that if known outside the Company would cause irreparable harm to the Company.
