Ms. Chadwick joined the Company in 2011 as Assistant Corporate Controller and in 2013 became Controller of the
Companys Process Industries segment. In 2014, she was named Vice President of Treasury with her responsibilities expanded thereafter to include Investor Relations.
In connection with her appointment, Ms. Chadwick and the Company entered into the Companys standard officer
indemnification agreement and a severance agreement (the Severance Agreement). The form of officer indemnification agreement was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on July 31, 2013 as
Exhibit 10.2 to the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the form of Severance Agreement was previously filed with the SEC on February 24, 2016 as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As Vice President Finance and Chief Accounting Officer, Ms. Chadwick will receive an annual base salary and will
participate in the Company-wide Annual Performance Award plan and in the Companys Long-Term Incentive Plan, which provides for long-term incentive grants the value of which is linked directly to the performance of the Company or the price of
its common shares. Ms. Chadwick will also be entitled to participate in the Companys retirement income programs and in its broad-based benefit programs, including health, disability and life insurance programs, and will be entitled to
certain perquisites.
Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, in the event Ms. Chadwicks employment is terminated
without cause by the Company, Ms. Chadwick will receive, among other benefits, severance equal to 1.0 times the sum of: (a) her annual base salary in effect prior to the termination; and (b) her target annual amount of
incentive compensation for the year in which she is terminated. Moreover, if certain events occur, such as a reduction in her responsibilities or termination of her employment without cause following a change in control, Ms. Chadwick will be
entitled to receive, among other benefits, a payment in an amount equal to a multiple of 1.5 times the sum of: (a) the greater of (i) her annual base salary in effect prior to the termination or (ii) her annual base salary in effect
prior to the change in control; and (b) the greater of (i) her target annual amount of incentive compensation for the year in which her employment is terminated or (ii) her target annual amount of incentive compensation for the year
