GRAHAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Graham Corporation's (the "Company's") Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include its wholly-owned subsidiaries located in Suzhou, China and Ahmedabad, India at June 30 and March 31, 2022, and its recently acquired wholly-owned subsidiary, Barber-Nichols, LLC ("BN"), located in Arvada, Colorado at June 30, 2022 and for the period June 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022 (See Note 2). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X, each as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 presented herein was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022. For additional information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 ("fiscal 2022"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2023 ("fiscal 2023").
NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION:
On June 1, 2021, the Company acquired Barber-Nichols, LLC ("BN"), a designer and manufacturer of turbomachinery products located in Arvada, Colorado that serves the defense and aerospace industry as well as the energy and cryogenic markets. The Company believes this acquisition furthers its growth strategy through market and product diversification, broadens its offerings and strengthens its presence in the defense industry, builds on its presence in the energy markets, and adds capabilities in the space industry.
This transaction was accounted for as a business combination which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of $72,014 was comprised of 610 shares of the Company's common stock, representing a value of $8,964 at a price of $14.69 per share, and cash consideration of $61,150, subject to certain potential adjustments, including a customary working capital adjustment. The cash consideration was funded through cash on-hand and debt proceeds. The purchase agreement included a contingent earn-out dependent upon certain financial measures of BN post-acquisition, in which the sellers were eligible to receive up to $14,000 in additional cash consideration. At June 30, 2021, a liability of $1,900 was recorded for the contingent earn-out. Subsequent to the acquisition, the earn out agreement was terminated and the contingent liability was reversed into Other operating income, net, on the Company’s Condensed Statement of Operations. Prior to the acquisition, BN and Ascent Properties Group, LLC, a related party, entered into a nine year operating lease agreement for an office and manufacturing building in Arvada, Colorado. This lease was acquired as part of the Company's acquisition of BN and has a monthly payment in the amount of $40 with a 3% yearly escalation. Also prior to the acquisition, BN and Ascent Properties Group, LLC entered into a seven-year equipment lease agreement to lease various machinery and equipment. This equipment lease was also acquired as part of the Company's acquisition of BN and has a monthly payment of $16. Acquisition related costs of $169 were expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon its estimated fair value at the date of the acquisition. The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation, after adjustments were recorded in the measurement period, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The fair value of acquisition-related intangible assets includes customer relationships, technology and technical know-how, backlog and trade name. Backlog and trade name are included in the line item "Other intangible assets, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of customer relationships were calculated using an income approach, specifically the Multi Period Excess Earnings method, which incorporates assumptions regarding retention rate, new customer growth and customer related costs. The fair value of trade name and technology and technical know-how were both calculated using a Relief from Royalty method, which develops a market based royalty rate used to reflect the after tax royalty savings attributable to owning the intangible asset. The fair value of backlog was determined using a net realizable value methodology, and was computed as the present value of the expected sales attributable to backlog less the remaining costs to fulfill the backlog.
The purchase price was allocated to specific intangible assets as follows:

The unaudited pro forma information presents the combined operating results of Graham Corporation and BN, with the results prior to the acquisition date adjusted to include the pro forma impact of the adjustment of depreciation of fixed assets based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, the adjustment to interest income reflecting the cash paid in connection with the acquisition, including acquisition-related expenses, at the Company’s weighted average interest income rate, interest expense and loan origination fees at the Company’s current interest rate, amortization expense related to the fair value adjustments for intangible assets, non-recurring acquisition-related costs and the impact of income taxes on the pro forma adjustments utilizing the applicable statutory tax rate.
The unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes only. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of each of the periods presented, nor does the pro forma data intend to be a projection of results that may be obtained in the future.
NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenue on contracts when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer. For contracts in which revenue is recognized upon shipment, control is generally transferred when products are shipped, title is transferred, significant risks of ownership have transferred, the Company has rights to payment, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. For contracts in which revenue is recognized over time, control is generally transferred as the Company creates an asset that does not have an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date.
The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by product line and geographic area:

A performance obligation represents a promise in a contract to provide a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferred products. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied. In certain cases, the Company may separate a contract into more than one performance obligation, while in other cases, several products may be part of a fully integrated solution and are bundled into a single performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods underlying each performance obligation. The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the contract price all taxes assessed by government authorities that are collected by the Company from its customers. The Company does not adjust the contract price for the effects of a financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when a product is transferred to a customer and when the customer pays for the product will be one year or less. Shipping and handling fees billed to the customer are recorded in revenue and the related costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.
Revenue on the majority of the Company’s contracts, as measured by number of contracts, is recognized upon shipment to the customer. Revenue on larger contracts, which are fewer in number but represent the majority of revenue, is recognized over time. Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately 35% of revenue for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately 65% of revenue for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company recognizes revenue over time when contract performance results in the creation of a product for which the Company does not have an alternative use and the contract includes an enforceable right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed. To measure progress towards completion on performance obligations for which revenue is recognized over time the Company utilizes an input method based upon a ratio of direct labor hours incurred to date to management’s estimate of the total labor hours to be incurred on each contract, an input method based upon a ratio of total contract costs incurred to date to management’s estimate of the total contract costs to be incurred or an output method based upon completion of operational milestones, depending upon the nature of the contract. The Company has established the systems and procedures essential to developing the estimates required to account for performance obligations over time. These procedures include monthly review by management of costs incurred, progress towards completion, identified risks and opportunities, sourcing determinations, changes in estimates of costs yet to be incurred, availability of materials, and execution by subcontractors. Sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods based on revisions in the contract value due to pricing changes and estimated costs at completion. Losses on contracts are recognized immediately when evident to management.
The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect trade accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets) and customer deposits (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unbilled revenue represents revenue on contracts that is recognized over time and exceeds the amount that has been billed to the customer. Unbilled revenue is separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company may have an unconditional right to payment upon billing and prior to satisfying the performance obligations. The Company will then record a contract liability and an offsetting asset of equal amount until the deposit is collected and the performance obligations are satisfied. Customer deposits are separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Customer deposits are not considered a significant financing component as they are generally received
11
less than one year before the product is completed or used to procure specific material on a contract, as well as related overhead costs incurred during design and construction.
Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:

Contract liabilities at June 30 and March 31, 2022 include $5,134 and $4,216, respectively, of customer deposits for which the Company has an unconditional right to collect payment. Trade accounts receivable, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes corresponding balances at June 30 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Revenue recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2022 was $8,430. Changes in the net contract liability balance during three months ended June 30, 2022 were impacted by a $2,521 increase in contract assets, of which $18,085 was due to contract progress offset by invoicing to customers of $15,564. In addition, contract liabilities decreased $580 driven by new customer deposits of $7,850 offset by revenue recognized in the current period that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2022.
Receivables billed but not paid under retainage provisions in the Company’s customer contracts were $2,658 and $3,182 at June 30 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Incremental costs to obtain a contract consist of sales employee and agent commissions. Commissions paid to employees and sales agents are capitalized when paid and amortized to selling, general and administrative expense when the related revenue is recognized. Capitalized costs, net of amortization, to obtain a contract were $21 and $32 at June 30 and March 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in the line item "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related amortization expense was $1 and $10 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The Company also refers to this measure as backlog. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations of $260,678. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 40% to 50% of the remaining performance obligations within one year, 25% to 35% in to two years and the remaining beyond two years.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION:
The 2020 Graham Corporation Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan"), as approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting on August 11, 2020, provides for the issuance of 422 shares of common stock in connection with grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units and stock awards to officers, key employees and outside directors, including 112 shares that became available under the 2020 Plan from the Company’s prior plan, the Amended and Restated 2000 Graham Corporation Incentive Plan to Increase Shareholder Value (the "2000 Plan"). As of August 11, 2020, the effective date of the 2020 Plan, no further awards will be granted under the 2000 Plan. However, 19 shares of unvested restricted stock under the 2000 Plan remain subject to the terms of such plan until the time such shares of restricted stock vest or are forfeited.
223 restricted stock units were granted in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. 112 restricted stock units, granted to officers, vest 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date subject to the satisfaction of the performance metrics for the applicable
12
three-year period. 56 restricted stock units, granted to officers, vest % per year over a three-year term. 18 restricted stock units, granted to an officer, vest 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date. 37 restricted stock units, granted to directors, vest 100% on the anniversary of the grant date. No restricted stock units were granted in the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.
No restricted stock awards were granted in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. 135 restricted stock awards were granted in the three month period ended June 30, 2021. 70 restricted shares were granted to officers in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, that vest 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date subject to the satisfaction of the performance metrics for the applicable three-year period. 45 restricted shares granted to officers and key employees in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, vest % per year over a three-year term. 20 restricted shares granted to directors in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, vest 100% on the anniversary of the grant date. No stock option awards were granted in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized equity-based compensation costs related to restricted stock awards of $105 and $337, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized related to equity-based compensation was $23 and $75 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the "ESPP"), which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a discount of up to 15% of its fair market value on the (1) last, (2) first or (3) lower of the last or first day of the six-month offering period. As of June 30, 2022, a total of 200 shares of common stock may be purchased under the ESPP. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized equity-based compensation costs of $9 and $16, respectively, related to the ESPP and $2 and $4, respectively, of related tax benefits.
NOTE 6 – INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, when applicable, potential common shares outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted income (loss) per share is presented below:

The Company self-funds the medical insurance coverage it provides to its Batavia based employees. The Company maintains a stop loss insurance policy in order to limit its exposure to claims. The liability of $159 and $116 on June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, related to the self-insured medical plan is primarily based upon claim history and is included in the caption "Accrued compensation" as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in, or accompanying, products made by the Company. The Company is a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. The claims in the Company’s current lawsuits are similar to those made in previous asbestos-related suits that named the Company as a defendant, which either were dismissed when it was shown that the Company had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work or were settled for immaterial amounts. The Company cannot provide any assurances that any pending or future matters will be resolved in the same manner as previous lawsuits.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company was subject to the claims noted above, as well as other potential claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.
Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which the Company is, or may become, a party to cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made for the majority of the claims, management does not believe that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES:
The Company files federal and state income tax returns in several domestic and international jurisdictions. In most tax jurisdictions, returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a number of years after the returns have been filed. The Company is subject to U.S. federal examination for the tax years 2018 through 2021 and examination in state tax jurisdictions for the tax years 2017 through 2021. The Company is subject to examination in the People’s Republic of China for tax years 2018 through 2021 and in India for tax year 2019 through 2021.
There was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits at either June 30, 2022 or March 31, 2022.

NOTE 13 – LEASES:
The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, office space, machinery and office equipment. An arrangement is considered to contain a lease if it conveys the right to use and control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If it is determined that an arrangement contains a lease, then a classification of a lease as operating or finance is determined by evaluating the five criteria outlined in the lease accounting guidance at inception. Leases generally have remaining terms of one year to five years, whereas leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The depreciable life of leased assets related to finance leases is limited by the expected term of the lease, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that the Company believes is reasonably certain of exercise. Certain leases include options to renew or terminate. Renewal options are exercisable per the discretion of the Company and vary based on the nature of each lease. The term of the lease includes renewal periods only if the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise the renewal option. When determining if a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised, the Company considers several factors, including but not limited to, the cost of moving to another location, the cost of disrupting operations, whether the purpose or location of the leased asset is unique and the contractual terms associated with extending the lease. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or any material restrictive covenants and the Company does not sublease to any third parties. As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any material leases that have been signed but not commenced.
Right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments in exchange for that right of use. Finance lease ROU assets and operating lease ROU assets are included in the line items "Property, plant and equipment, net" and "Operating lease assets", respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion and non-current portion of finance and operating lease liabilities are all presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The discount rate implicit within the Company’s leases is generally not readily determinable, and therefore, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments based on rates available at commencement.
The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for finance and operating leases are as follows:

On June 1, 2021, the Company terminated its revolving credit facility agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with Bank of America that provided a $30,000 line of credit, including letters of credit and bank guarantees, expandable at the Company's option and the bank's approval at any time up to $40,000. As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, there was $0 outstanding on the line of credit. Amounts outstanding under the facility agreement bear interest at a rate equal to BSBY plus 1.50%, subject to a 0.00% floor. As of June 30, 2022, the BSBY rate was 0.881430%. Outstanding letters of credit under this agreement are subject to a fee of 1.50% per annum of the outstanding undrawn amount of each letter of credit that is not secured by cash and 0.60% of each letter of credit that is secured by cash. Amounts available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility are subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.25%. As of June 30, 2022, there was $5,079 letters of credit outstanding with Bank of America.
Under the original Bank of America term loan agreement and revolving credit facility, the Company covenanted to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio, as defined in such agreements, of 3.0 to 1.0, with an allowable increase to 3.25 to 1.0 following an acquisition for a period of twelve months following the closing of the acquisition. In addition, the Company covenanted to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in such agreements, of 1.2 to 1.0 and minimum margined assets, as defined in such agreements, of 100% of total amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility, including letters of credit. At December 31, 2021, the Company was out of compliance with its bank agreement covenants and was granted a waiver for noncompliance by Bank of America.
On March 31, 2022 and June 7, 2022, the Company entered into amendment agreements with Bank of America. Under the amended agreements, the Company is not required to comply with the maximum total leverage ratio and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenants contained in the original term loan agreement for the periods ending December 31, 2021 and March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2022. The principal balance outstanding on the line of credit may not exceed $15,000, unless letters of credit exceed $11,500, in which case the limit is $17,000, until the compliance date. The compliance date is defined as the date on which Bank of America has received all required financial information with respect to the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 and no event of default exists. In addition, on or before September 1, 2022 and at all times thereafter, all of the Company's deposit accounts, except certain foreign subsidiary accounts, will be either subject to a deposit account control agreement or maintained with Bank of America. The Company covenants to maintain EBITDA, as defined in such amendment, of at least ($700) for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2022 and $1,800 for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2022; maintain a total maximum leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2022 and 3.0 to 1.0 for the period ending March 31, 2023; and maintain liquidity, as defined in such amendment, of at least $10,000 prior to the occurrence of the compliance date and $20,000 from and after the occurrence of the compliance date. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the amended financial covenants of its loan agreement. At June 30, 2022, the amount available under the revolving credit facility was $10,840.
In connection with the waiver and amendments discussed above, the Company is required to pay a back-end fee of $725 to Bank of America payable upon the earliest to occur of (i) any default or event of default, (ii) the last date of availability under the revolving credit facility, and (iii) repayment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other obligations, which may be waived or cancelled if certain criteria are met.
On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to amend its letter of credit facility agreement with HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and decreased the Company's line of credit from $15,000 to $7,500. Under the amended agreement, the Company incurs an annual facility fee of $5 and outstanding letters of credit are subject to a fee of between 0.75% and 0.85%, depending on the term of the letter of credit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Overview
We are a global leader in the design and manufacture of mission critical fluid, power, heat transfer and vacuum technologies for the defense, space, energy and process industries. For the defense industry, our equipment is used in nuclear and non-nuclear propulsion, power, fluid transfer, and thermal management systems. For the space industry our equipment is used in propulsion, power and energy management systems and for life support systems. Our energy and new energy markets include oil refining, cogeneration, and multiple alternative and clean power applications including hydrogen. For the chemical and petrochemical industries, our equipment is used in fertilizer, ethylene, methanol and downstream chemical facilities.
Our brands are built upon engineering expertise and close customer collaboration to design, develop, and produce mission critical equipment and systems that enable our customers to meet their economic and operational objectives. Continual improvement of our processes and systems to ensure qualified and compliant equipment are hallmarks of our brand. Our early engagement with customers and support until the end of service life are values upon which our brands are built.
Our corporate headquarters is located in Batavia, New York. We have production facilities co-located with our headquarters in Batavia. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Barber-Nichols, LLC ("BN"), based in Arvada, Colorado, designs, develops, manufactures and sells specialty turbomachinery products for the aerospace, cryogenic, defense and energy markets (see "Acquisition" below). We also have wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, Graham Vacuum and Heat Transfer Technology Co., Ltd. ("GVHTT"), located in Suzhou, China and Graham India Private Limited ("GIPL"), located in Ahmedabad, India. GVHTT provides sales and engineering support for us in the People's Republic of China and management oversight throughout Southeast Asia. GIPL serves as a sales and market development office focusing on the refining, petrochemical and fertilizer markets in India.
Our current fiscal year (which we refer to as "fiscal 2023") ends March 31, 2023.
Acquisition
We completed the acquisition of BN on June 1, 2021. Founded as a specialty turbomachinery engineering company in 1966, BN grew rapidly from programs that involve complex production and systems integration. By integrating knowledge in rotating equipment, power generation cycles, and electrical management systems, BN has successfully won the design and development of different power, fluid transfer, and propulsion systems used in underwater vehicles among many other accomplishments.
The acquisition of BN changed the composition of our end market mix. For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, sales to the defense and space industries were 45% of our business compared with approximately 25% of sales prior to the acquisition. The remaining 55% of our first quarter fiscal 2023 sales came from the refining, chemical/petrochemical and other commercial markets. These markets represented approximately 75% of our sales prior to the acquisition. BN has outperformed expectations since being acquired.
The BN transaction was accounted for as a business combination, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of $72,014 was comprised of 610 shares of common stock, representing a value of $8,964 at $14.69 per share, and cash consideration of $61,150. The cash consideration was funded through cash on-hand and debt proceeds (See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). The purchase agreement also included a contingent earn-out dependent upon certain financial measures of BN post-acquisition, pursuant to which the sellers were eligible to receive up to $14,000 in additional cash consideration. At June 30, 2021, a liability of $1,900 was recorded for the contingent earn-out. In the second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (which we refer to as "fiscal 2022"), the earn-out agreement was terminated and the contingent liability was reversed into other operating income, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the termination of this earn-out agreement, we entered into a Performance Bonus Agreement (the "Bonus Agreement") to provide certain employees of BN with performance-based awards considering the BN business results on a stand-alone basis. The purpose of the bonus arrangement is to align a broader number of the BN leadership team with the achievement of BN performance objectives. The Bonus Agreement provides for payments to be made for certain performance-based results of BN for fiscal years ending March 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026 and can range between $2,000 to $4,000 per year.

Current Market Conditions
Demand for our equipment and systems for the defense industry is expected to remain strong and continue to expand, based on defense budget plans, the projected procurement of submarines, aircraft carriers and undersea propulsion and power systems and the solutions we provide. In addition to U.S. Navy applications, we also provide specialty pumps, turbines, compressors and controllers for various fluid and thermal management systems used in Department of Defense radar, laser, electronics and power systems. We have built a leading position, and in some instances, a sole source position, for certain systems and equipment for the defense industry.
Our traditional energy markets are undergoing significant transition. While we expect that fossil fuels will continue to be an important component in the global energy industry for many years to come, there are significant changes in the priorities for capital investments by our customers and the regions in which those investments are being made. We expect that the systemic changes in the energy markets, which are influenced by the increasing use by consumers of alternative fuels, will lead to demand growth for fossil-based fuels that is less than the global growth rate. We also anticipate that future investment by refiners in renewable fuels (e.g., renewable diesel), in existing refineries (e.g., to expand feedstock processing flexibility and to improve conversion of oil to refined products) to gain greater throughput, or to build new capacity (e.g., integrated refineries with petrochemical products capabilities), will continue to drive demand for our products and services. The timing and catalyst for a recovery in these markets (crude oil refining and chemical/petrochemical) remains uncertain. Accordingly, we believe that in the near term the quantity of projects available for us to compete for will remain low and that new project pricing will remain challenging.
Of note, over the last year we have experienced an increase in our energy and chemical aftermarket orders, primarily from the domestic market. Aftermarket orders have historically been a leading indicator of future capital investment by our customers in their facilities for upgrades and expansions. As such we believe there is the possibility of a cyclical upturn in the next twelve months following several years of reduced capital spending in a low oil price environment. We do not expect the next cycle to be as robust as years past due to the factors discussed above.
The alternative and clean energy opportunities for our heat transfer, power production and fluid transfer systems are expected to continue to grow. We assist in designing, developing and producing equipment for hydrogen production, distribution and fueling systems, concentrated solar power and storage, and small modular nuclear systems. We are positioning the Company to be a more significant contributor as these markets continue to develop.
We believe that chemical and petrochemical capital investment will continue to decouple from energy investment. Over the long term, we expect that population growth, an expanding global middle class and an increasing desire for improved quality of life and access to consumer products will drive increased demand for industrial goods within the plastics and resins value chain along with fertilizers or related products. As such, we expect investment in new global chemical and petrochemical capacity will improve and drive growth in demand for our products and services.
Our turbomachinery, pumps and cryogenic products and market access provide revenue and growth potential in the commercial space/aerospace markets. The commercial space market has grown and evolved rapidly, and we provide rocket engine turbo pump systems and components for many of the launch providers. We expect that in the long term extended space exploration will become more prevalent, and we anticipate that our thermal/fluid management and environmental control and life support system turbomachinery will play important roles. We are also participating in future aerospace power and propulsion system development through supply of fluid and thermal management systems components. Small power dense systems are imperative for these applications and we believe our technology and expertise will enable us to achieve sales growth in this market as well. For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, sales to the space industry represented 18% of our sales compared to 4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
The chart below illustrates our strategy to increase our participation in the defense and space markets. The defense market comprised 74% of our total backlog at June 30, 2022. We believe this diversification is especially beneficial when our refining and process markets are weak, as is presently the case.

The First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 Compared with the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022
Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $36,075, an increase of $15,918 or 79% from sales of $20,157 for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Approximately $8,900 of this increase was due to having three months of BN results in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to one month in fiscal 2022. Additionally, our sales continued to benefit from our diversified revenue base including strong growth in commercial aftermarket and the space market. These increases were partially offset by continued supply chain constraints, which caused a delay in material receipts and related shipments. Domestic sales as a percentage of aggregate sales were 78% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with 69% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 reflecting the increase in our defense and space industry businesses which is all U.S. based. Sales in the three months ended June 30, 2022 were 22% to the refining industry, 16% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 27% for the defense (U.S. Navy) industry, 18% to space, and 17% to other commercial and industrial applications. Sales in the three months ended June 30, 2021 were 23% to the refining industry, 23% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 35% for the defense (U.S. Navy) industry, 4% to space, and 15% to other commercial and industrial applications. Fluctuation in sales among markets, products and geographic locations varies, sometimes significantly, from quarter-to-quarter based on timing and magnitude of projects. See also "Current Market Conditions," above. For additional information on anticipated future sales and our markets, see "Orders and Backlog" below.
22
Gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was 19%, compared with 5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased compared with fiscal 2022, to $6,744 from $914. These increases were primarily due to an improved mix of sales related to higher margin projects (space and commercial aftermarket) and improved execution on completed contracts, partially offset by higher incentive compensation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we completed and shipped two first article U.S. Navy projects and are on schedule to complete the remaining first article projects throughout fiscal 2023. In addition to the above, first quarter fiscal 2023 includes three months of operations from BN compared to one month in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
SG&A expense including amortization for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $5,759, up 17%, or $836, compared with $4,923 for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Approximately $1,400 of this increase was due to having three months of BN results in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to one month in fiscal 2022, partially offset by cost savings and deferral initiatives. These efforts included reducing the use of outside sales agents and delayed hiring. As a result, SG&A expense as a percentage of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was 16% of sales compared with 24% of sales in the comparable period in fiscal 2022.
Net interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $157 compared to $22 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to increased borrowings related to the BN acquisition, as well as increased interest rates since the first quarter of 2022.
Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was 24%, compared with 19% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This increase was primarily due to discrete tax expense recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 related to the vesting of restricted stock awards. Our expected effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 is 21% to 22% as the impact of these discrete tax items on our effective tax rate lessens over the course of fiscal 2023.
Net income and income per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $676 and $0.06 per share, respectively, compared with a loss of $3,126 and $0.31 per share, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $1,329 and $0.12 per share, respectively, compared with a loss of $2,807 and $0.28 per share, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share to the comparable GAAP amount.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share are provided for information purposes only and are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Management believes the presentation of these financial measures reflecting non-GAAP adjustments provides important supplemental information to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating the operating results of the Company. In particular, those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating performance, and that are not a helpful measure of the performance of our underlying business particularly in light of their unpredictable nature. These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as analytical tools, should not be viewed as a substitute for net income (loss) or net income (loss) per diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. In addition, supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to net income (loss) or net income (loss) per diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess the Company’s financial and operating performance and adjusted EBITDA is a basis for a portion of management's performance-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization, interest expense, taxes, other acquisition related expenses, and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share excludes intangible amortization, other costs related to the acquisition, and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share to net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP is as follows:

Net cash used by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $689 compared with $7,076 of cash used for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The cash used by operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was lower than the comparable prior year period primarily as a result of higher cash net income. Cash usage during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was due to an increase in working capital to fund growth, in particular, the investments in inventory in a supply constrained environment.
Dividend payments and capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $0 and $284, respectively, compared with $1,177 and $446, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we suspended our dividend in accordance with the terms of our credit agreement with Bank of America. There can be no guarantee that we will pay dividends in the future and will depend on a variety of factors, including our future financial performance, organic growth and acquisition opportunities, general economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2023 are expected to be approximately $4,500 to $5,500. Approximately 35% of our fiscal 2023 capital expenditures are expected to be for machinery and equipment, 50% for buildings and leasehold improvements to fund our growth initiatives and with the remaining amounts expected to be used for other items. The majority of our planned capital expenditures are discretionary.
24
Cash and cash equivalents were $12,905 at June 30, 2022 compared with $14,741 at March 31, 2022, down $1,836 primarily due to cash used in operations, capital expenditures, and debt repayments. At June 30, 2022, approximately $7,500 of our cash and cash equivalents is used to secure our letters of credit and $2,206 of our cash is held by our China and India operations.
On June 1, 2021, we entered into a $20,000 five-year loan with Bank of America. The term loan requires monthly principal payments of $167 through June 1, 2026, with the remaining principal amount plus all interest due on the maturity date. The interest rate on the term loan is the applicable Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY"), plus 1.50%, subject to a 0.00% floor.
On June 1, 2021, we entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with Bank of America that provided a $30,000 line of credit, including letters of credit and bank guarantees, expandable at our option and the bank's approval at any time up to $40,000. As of June 30, 2022, there was no amount outstanding on the line of credit. Amounts outstanding under the facility agreement bear interest at a rate equal to BSBY plus 1.50%, subject to a 0.00% floor. As of June 30, 2022, the BSBY rate was 0.881430%. Outstanding letters of credit under this agreement are subject to a fee of 1.50% per annum of the outstanding undrawn amount of each letter of credit that is not secured by cash and 0.60% of each letter of credit that is secured by cash. Amounts available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility are subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.25%. As of June 30, 2022, there was $5,079 letters of credit outstanding with Bank of America.
Under the original term loan agreement and revolving credit facility, we covenanted to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio, as defined in such agreements, of 3.0 to 1.0, with an allowable increase to 3.25 to 1.0 following an acquisition for a period of twelve months following the closing of the acquisition. In addition, we covenanted to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in such agreements, of 1.2 to 1.0 and minimum margined assets, as defined in such agreements, of 100% of total amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility, including letters of credit. At December 31, 2021, we were out of compliance with our bank agreement covenants and were granted a waiver for noncompliance by Bank of America.
On March 31, 2022 and June 7, 2022, we entered into amendment agreements with Bank of America. Under the amended agreements, we are not required to comply with the maximum total leverage ratio and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenants contained in the original term loan agreement for the periods ending December 31, 2021 and March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2022. The principal balance outstanding on the line of credit may not exceed $15,000, unless letters of credit exceed $11,500, in which case the limit is $17,000, until the compliance date. The compliance date is defined as the date on which Bank of America has received all required financial information with respect to us for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 and no event of default exists. In addition, on or before September 1, 2022 and at all times thereafter, all of our deposit accounts, except certain foreign subsidiary accounts, will be either subject to a deposit account control agreement or maintained with Bank of America. We covenant to maintain EBITDA, as defined in such amendment, of at least ($700) for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2022 and $1,800 for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2022; maintain a total maximum leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2022 and 3.0 to 1.0 for the period ending March 31, 2023; and maintain liquidity, as defined in such amendment, of at least $10,000 prior to the occurrence of the compliance date and $20,000 from and after the occurrence of the compliance date. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the amended financial covenants of our loan agreement. At June 30, 2022, the amount available under the revolving credit facility was $10,840.
In connection with the waiver and amendments discussed above, we are required to pay a back-end fee of $725 to Bank of America payable upon the earliest to occur of (i) any default or event of default, (ii) the last date of availability under the revolving credit facility, and (iii) repayment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other obligations, which may be waived or cancelled if certain criteria are met.
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, other than letters of credit incurred in the ordinary course of business.
We believe that cash generated from operations, combined with the liquidity provided by available financing capacity under our credit facility, will be adequate to meet our cash needs for the immediate future.
Orders and Backlog
Management uses orders and backlog as measures of our current and future business and financial performance. Orders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 were $40,300 compared with $20,900 for the same period last year, an increase of $19,400. This increase included $13,700 of additional orders from BN, whose results were only included for one month in the fiscal 2022 first quarter and strong orders from the space industry in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The remaining $5,700 increase is attributable to the Graham Batavia operations which saw strong demand from its commercial aftermarket and international refinery markets.
The composition of our order book is broad-based and includes noteworthy orders across our Graham Batavia business and Barber-Nichols. Within the $40.3 million of total orders are the following:
25
Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting us to supply products and/or services. Domestic orders were 73% of total orders, or $29,300 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2022 when domestic orders were 74%, or $15,400, of total orders.
Backlog was $260,678 at June 30, 2022, compared with $256,536 at March 31, 2022, a 2% increase or $4,142. Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Approximately 40% to 50% of orders currently in our backlog are expected to be converted to sales within one year. The majority of the orders that are expected to convert beyond twelve months are for the defense industry, specifically the U.S. Navy. At June 30, 2022, 74% of our backlog was attributable to U.S. Navy projects, 11% for refinery project work, 5% for chemical and petrochemical projects, 6% for space projects and 4% for other industrial applications. At March 31, 2022, 76% of our backlog was attributable to U.S. Navy projects, 10% for refinery project work, 5% for chemical and petrochemical projects, 4% for space projects and 5% for other industrial applications.
Outlook
Our objective is to leverage our engineering knowhow and depth of application experience to identify more opportunities for our products and technologies in our targeted markets.
Our expectations for sales and profitability assume that we will be able to operate our production facilities at planned capacity, have access to our global supply chain including our subcontractors, and do not experience significant COVID-19-related disruptions or any other unforeseen events. We project that approximately 40% to 50% of backlog will convert to sales over the next 12 months. We expect the remaining backlog will convert beyond fiscal 2023, which includes a combination of U.S. Navy orders that have a long conversion cycle (up to six years) as well as certain commercial orders, the conversion of which has been extended by our customers. We expect 45% to 50% of our sales in fiscal 2023 to be from the defense market. Defense spending, specifically for the U.S. Navy, is expected to remain steady over the foreseeable future.
Sales in fiscal 2023 are expected to be in the range of $135,000 to $150,000. We expect gross profit margins for the year to be approximately 16% to 17% of sales and SG&A expenses to be 15% to 16% of sales. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $6,500 to $9,500 for fiscal 2023. We do believe our second quarter of fiscal 2023 will not benefit as well as the first quarter on mix and deferred expenses, but the second half should normalize to achieve our guidance. We have not reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Such reconciliation would require unreasonable efforts to estimate and quantify various necessary GAAP components largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable.
26
Contingencies and Commitments
We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in or accompanying our products. We are a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. The claims in our current lawsuits are similar to those made in previous asbestos lawsuits that named us as a defendant. Such previous lawsuits either were dismissed when it was shown that we had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work, or were settled by us for immaterial amounts.
As of June 30, 2022, we are subject to the claims noted above, as well as other legal proceedings and potential claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which we are or may become a party cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made for the majority of the claims, we do not believe that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of significant accounting estimates, some of which require management to make significant assumptions. We believe that the most critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to labor hour estimates, total cost, and establishment of operational milestones which are used to recognize revenue over time, accounting for contingencies, under which we accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, accounting for business combinations and intangible assets, and accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits. For further information, refer to Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from market changes) to which we are exposed are foreign currency exchange rates, price risk, and interest rate risk.
The assumptions applied in preparing the following qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding foreign currency exchange rate, price risk and interest rate risk are based upon volatility ranges experienced by us in relevant historical periods, our current knowledge of the marketplace, and our judgment of the probability of future volatility based upon the historical trends and economic conditions of the markets in which we operate.
Foreign Currency
As a result of the BN acquisition, international consolidated sales for the first three months of fiscal 2023 were 22% of total sales compared with 31% for the same period of fiscal 2022. Operating in markets throughout the world exposes us to movements in currency exchange rates. Currency movements can affect sales in several ways, the foremost being our ability to compete for orders against foreign competitors that base their prices on relatively weaker currencies. Business lost due to competition for orders against competitors using a relatively weaker currency cannot be quantified. In addition, cash can be adversely impacted by the conversion of sales made by us in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars. In each of the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, substantially all sales by us and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, for which we were paid, were denominated in the local currency of the respective subsidiary (U.S. dollars, Chinese RMB or India INR).
We have limited exposure to foreign currency purchases. In the first three months of fiscal 2023, our purchases in foreign currencies represented approximately 7% of the cost of products sold. At certain times, we may enter into forward foreign currency exchange agreements to hedge our exposure against potential unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant sales and purchase contracts negotiated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were not used in the periods being reported in this Form 10-Q and as of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, we held no forward foreign currency contracts.
Price Risk
Operating in a global marketplace requires us to compete with other global manufacturers which, in some instances, benefit from lower production costs and more favorable economic conditions. Although we believe that our customers differentiate our products on the basis of our manufacturing quality and engineering experience and excellence, among other things, such lower production costs and more favorable economic conditions mean that our competitors are able to offer products similar to ours at lower prices. In extreme market downturns, such as we recently experienced, we typically see depressed price levels. Moreover, the cost of metals and other
27
materials used in our products have experienced significant volatility. Such factors, in addition to the global effects of the recent volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, have resulted in downward demand and pricing pressure on our products.
Interest Rate Risk
In connection with the BN acquisition, we entered into a $20,000 five-year term loan and a five-year revolving credit facility with Bank of America. The term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest rates that are tied to BSBY, plus 1.50%, subject to a 0.00% floor. As part of our risk management activities, we evaluate the use of interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. As of June 30, 2022, we had $18,000 outstanding on our term loan, $0 outstanding on our revolving credit facility and no interest rate derivatives outstanding. See ''Debt'' in Note 14 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our outstanding debt. A hypothetical one percentage point (100 basis points) change in the BSBY rate on the $18,000 of variable rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2022 would have an impact of approximately $180 on our interest expense for fiscal 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures
Our President and Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) each have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, and as of such date, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Other than the events discussed under the section entitled Barber-Nichols Acquisition below, there has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting.
Barber-Nichols Acquisition
On June 1, 2021, we acquired Barber-Nichols, LLC, a privately-owned designer and manufacturer of turbomachinery products for the aerospace, cryogenic, defense and energy markets, located in Arvada, Colorado. For additional information regarding the acquisition, refer to Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 2 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the recent completion of this acquisition and, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment for a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended March 31, 2022 does not include Barber-Nichols, LLC. We will include Barber-Nichols, LLC in our annual assessment for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1 – Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Dividend Policy
We do not currently pay a cash dividend on our common stock. Our credit facility with Bank of America contains certain provisions that restrict our payment of cash dividends. Any future determination by our Board of Directors regarding dividends will depend on a variety of factors, including our compliance with the terms of the credit agreement, organic growth and acquisition opportunities, future financial performance, general economic conditions and financial, competitive, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no guarantee that we will pay dividends in the future.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(Employee – Performance Vesting)
This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the [__] day of [___________], 20[__] (the “Grant Date”), by and between Graham Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and having an office at 20 Florence Avenue, Batavia, New York 14020 (the “Company”) and [Employee Name] (the “Participant”).
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, by action of its Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Company has adopted and its stockholders have approved the 2020 Graham Corporation Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which Restricted Stock Units with respect to shares of Stock may be granted to the Company’s eligible officers, employees and directors; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) has been appointed to select the individuals to whom Restricted Stock Units shall be granted and to prescribe the terms and conditions of such grants; and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the Participant is eligible to be granted Restricted Stock Units and desires to grant Restricted Stock Units to the Participant, and the Participant desires to accept such grant, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Grant of PSUs. As of the Grant Date set forth above, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, and the Participant hereby accepts from the Company, an award of [__] Restricted Stock Units (the “PSUs”) on the terms and conditions hereinafter in the Plan and this Agreement. Each vested PSU represents the right to receive one share of Stock. The PSUs do not include a right to receive dividend equivalents.
Section 2. Vesting.
(a) Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, provided that the Participant has remained a full-time employee of the Company through [________], the last day of the Company’s [_____] fiscal year (the “Employment Date”), the Payout Percentage of the number of PSUs will vest on the date that the Committee approves the Company’s Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA following the last day of the Company’s [_____] fiscal year (the “Vesting Date”). The “Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA” shall mean the Company’s cumulative EBITDA for the period beginning with the first fay of the Company’s [______] fiscal year and ending with the last day of the Company’s [_____] fiscal year (the “Performance Period”). “EBITDA” shall mean net income, plus income taxes, plus net interest expenses, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, plus non-cash charges, expenses, write-downs and losses, less all non-cash income and gains, plus non-recurring costs and expenses, less non-recurring income/gains and any other unusual and infrequent items, as determined by the Committee.
1
(b) The Payout Percentage will be based on the approved Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA as follows:
|
Threshold |
Target |
Maximum |
Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA |
$[___] |
$[___] |
$[___] |
Payout Percentage |
[___]% |
[___]% |
[___]% |
If the approved Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA is less than Threshold, the Payout Percentage will be 0% and if the Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA is more than Maximum the Payout Percentage will be the Payout Percentage for Maximum. If Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA is more than Threshold and less than target, or more than Target and less than Maximum, the Payout Percentage will be determined using linear interpolation.
(c) Upon the death or Disability of the Participant prior to the Employment Date:
(i) the Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA will be deemed to have met performance at the Target level and the Payout Percentage shall be the Payout Percentage for Target; and
(ii) the number of PSUs that vest shall be equal to the number of PSUs multiplied by the Payout Percentage, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of the Performance Period through the date of the Participant’s death or Disability, over the number of days in the Performance Period.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall have the meaning given such term by Section 409A (as defined below), which is described in the Plan.
(d) In the event of the Participants Retirement, the PSUs shall remain outstanding and:
(i) the Payout Percentage will be based on the actual Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA, as determined and approved after the end of the Performance Period; and
(ii) the number of PSUs that vest shall be equal to the number of PSUs multiplied by the Payout Percentage, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of the Performance Period through the date of the Participant’s Retirement, over the number of days in the Performance Period.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean a voluntary termination of employment by the Participant when he or she is at least age 65.
(e) If there is an employment agreement (or other agreement providing for treatment of equity awards upon a Change in Control) by and between the Participant and the
2
Company on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, then the terms of such agreement shall apply instead of the terms of this Section 2(e). Otherwise, in the event of the involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company other than for Cause within the 12-month period following a Change in Control, or the voluntary termination of the Participant’s employment by the Participant for Good Reason within the 12-month period following a Change in Control, the PSUs shall remain outstanding and:
(i) the Three-Year Cumulative EBITDA will be deemed to have met performance at the Target level and the Payout Percentage shall be the Payout Percentage for Target; and
(ii) the number of PSUs that vest shall be equal to the number of PSUs multiplied by the Payout Percentage, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of the Performance Period through the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, over the number of days in the Performance Period.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall have the equivalent meaning as the term “Cause” or “for Cause” has in any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company, or in the absence of such an agreement that contains such a defined term, shall mean the willful misconduct by the Participant in connection with the performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company, or any other conduct on the part of the Participant which has been materially injurious to the Company.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall have the equivalent meaning as the term “Good Reason” or “Reasonable Determination” has in any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company, or in the absence of such an agreement that contains such a defined term, shall mean the occurrence of any one of the following events without either the Participant’s express prior written consent or substantial cure by the Company within 30 days after the Participant gives written notice to the Company describing the event and requesting cure, provided Participant has given notice within 30 days after he or she became aware of any one or more of the following events constituting Good Reason:
(i) a change in the nature or scope of the Participant’s authority from that prior to a Change in Control, a reduction in the Participant’s total compensation (including all and any base compensation, bonuses, incentive compensation and benefits of any kind or nature whatsoever) from that prior to a Change in Control, or failure of the Company to make any increase in compensation to which the Participant may be entitled under any employment agreement, or a change requiring the Participant to perform services other than in Batavia, New York or Arvada, Colorado, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Participant’s present business travel obligations; or
(ii) subsequent to a Change in Control, and without the Participant’s express written consent, the assignment to the Participant of any duties inconsistent with the Participant’s positions, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company immediately prior to a Change in Control, or a change in the Participant’s reporting responsibilities, titles, or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, or any removal of the Participant from or any
3
failure to re-elect the Participant to any of such positions, except in connection with the termination of employment for Cause, death, Disability or Retirement; or
(iii) subsequent to a Change in Control, a reduction by the Company in the Participant’s base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time, or failure of the Company to make an increase in compensation to which the Participant may be entitled under any employment agreement; or
(iv) subsequent to a Change in Control, a failure by the Company to continue any bonus plans in which the Participant is presently entitled to participate (the “Bonus Plans”) as the same may be modified from time to time but substantially in the forms currently in effect, or a failure by the Company to continue the Participant as a participant in the Bonus Plans on at least the same basis as the Participant presently participates in accordance with the Bonus Plans; or
(v) subsequent to a Change in Control, the failure by the Company to continue in effect (subject to such changes as may be required by law from time to time) any benefit or compensation plan, stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan, stock option plan, life insurance plan, health-and-accident plan or disability plan in which the Participant is participating at the time of the Change in Control (or plans providing him with substantially similar benefits), the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect the Participant’s participation in or materially reduce his benefits under any of such plans or deprive the Participant of any material fringe benefit enjoyed at the time of the Change in Control, or the failure by the Company to provide the Participant with the number of paid vacation days to which the Participant is then entitled in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy in effect on the date hereof; or
(vi) prior to a Change in Control, the failure by the Company to obtain the assumption by any successor of any employment agreement between the Company and the Participant, if assumption of such agreement is required by its terms.
(f) Except as otherwise provided by Section 2(c), Section 2(d) or Section 2(e), or unless the Committee determines otherwise, if the Participant’s employment terminates before the Employment Date for any reason, the PSUs shall be forfeited and cancelled immediately.
Section 3. Payment. Except as otherwise required by Section 18:
(a) the number of PSUs which vest on account of the Participant’s death (less the number of shares of Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to Section 4, if any) shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by the Participant in writing prior to the Participant’s death (or in the absence of a properly designated beneficiary, to the Participant’s estate or by or on behalf of such person to the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights pass under his or her will or the laws of descent and distribution) in shares of Stock no later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year which includes the date of the Participant’s death;
4
(b) the number of PSUs which vest on account of the involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company other than for Cause within the 12-month period following a Change in Control or the voluntary termination of the Participant’s employment by the Participant for Good Reason within the 12-month period following a Change in Control (less the number of shares of Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to Section 4, if any) shall be paid to the Participant in shares of Stock as soon as practicable following the termination of Participant’s employment, but no later than the December 31st following the termination of employment (or if later the 15th day of the third month following the termination of employment); and
(c) except as otherwise provided by Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), the number of PSUs which vest (less the number of shares of Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to Section 4, if any) shall be paid to the Participant in shares of Stock as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, but no later than the December 31 following the Employment Date (or if later the 15th day of the third month following the Employment Date).
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under this Agreement or otherwise, the minimum amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld (or such higher amount that would not have an adverse accounting effect) with respect to the payment under this Agreement or may require the Participant or other person entitled to receive payment hereunder to pay to the Company such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. The Committee may allow the Participant or other person entitled to receive payment hereunder to pay the amount of taxes required to be withheld by withholding shares of Stock from the payment of PSUs, or by permitting the Participant to deliver to the Company, shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of such required withholding taxes (or such other amount that would not have an adverse accounting effect).
Section 5. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not be entitled, prior to the conversion of the PSUs into the right to receive shares of Stock and the issuance of such shares of Stock to the Participant, to any rights as a stockholder with respect to such shares of Stock, including the right to vote, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of the shares of Stock
Section 6. Adjustments in the Event of Reorganization. In the event of any merger, consolidation, or other business reorganization in which the Company is the surviving entity, and in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or other event generally affecting the number of shares of Stock held by each person who is then a stockholder of record, the number of PSUs shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Plan to account for such event.
Section 7. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement nor any action of the Board or Committee with respect to this Agreement shall be held or construed to confer upon the Participant any right to a continuation of employment by the Company or any of its affiliates which employ the Participant. The Participant may be dismissed or otherwise dealt with as though this Agreement had not been entered into.
5
Section 8. Restrictions on Transfer of PSUs. The PSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, alienated or encumbered in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Section 9. Notices. Any communication required or permitted to be given under the Plan, including any notice, direction, designation, comment, instruction, objection or waiver, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at such time as it is delivered personally or five days after mailing if mailed, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such party at the address listed below, or at such other address as one such party may by written notice specify to the other party:
(a) If to the Committee:
Graham Corporation
20 Florence Avenue
Batavia, New York 14020
Attention: Chief Financial Officer
(b) If to the Participant, to the Participant’s then current residential address as set forth in the Company’s personnel records.
Section 10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.
Section 11. Construction of Language. Whenever appropriate in this Agreement, words used in the singular may be read in the plural, words used in the plural may be read in the singular, and words importing the masculine gender may be read as referring equally to the feminine or the neuter. Any reference to a section shall be a reference to a section of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them under the Plan.
Section 12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by the federal law.
Section 13. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part and in any manner not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, at any time and from time to time by written agreement between the Company and the Participant.
Section 14. Plan Provisions Control. This Agreement and the rights and obligations created hereunder shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, shall control. By signing this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
Section 15. Acceptance by Participant. By executing this Agreement and returning a fully executed copy hereof to the Committee at the address specified in Section 9, the Participant
6
signifies his acceptance of the terms and conditions of the PSUs. If a fully executed copy of this Agreement is not received by the Committee within 45 days after the date when it is presented to the Participant, the Committee may revoke the PSUs granted, and thereby avoid all obligations hereunder.
Section 16. Recoupment. This Agreement (and any shares of Stock payable hereunder) shall be subject to recovery by the Company under any incentive compensation recoupment policy maintained by the Company, as such policy may be amended from to time. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in order to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any regulations promulgated, or national securities exchange listing conditions adopted, with respect thereto (collectively, the “Clawback Requirements”), if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, then the Participant shall return to the Company, or forfeit if not yet paid, the shares of Stock under this Agreement received during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the accounting restatement, based on the erroneous data, in excess of the number of shares of Stock that would have vested based on the accounting restatement, as determined by the Committee, in accordance with the Clawback Requirements and any policy adopted by the Committee pursuant to the Clawback Requirements.
Section 17. Golden Parachute Limitation.
(a) In the event that the independent auditors most recently selected by the Board (the “Auditors”) determine that any payment by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in Section 280G of the Code, then the total amount of all payments by the Company shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount that maximizes the total amount of the payments without causing any payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code.
(b) If the Auditors determine that any payment by the Company would be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code, then the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, which and how much of the payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within ten days of receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such election. All determinations made by the Auditors shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within 60 days of the date when a payment becomes payable.
(c) As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that payments will have been
7
made by the Company that should not have been made (an “Overpayment”) or that additional payments that will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant that the Auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which he or she shall repay to the Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code or to the extent that such loan would be prohibited under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
Section 18. Section 409A. The PSUs are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations promulgated and other official guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), and the Plan and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from or comply with Section 409A, and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. References to “termination of employment” and similar terms used in this Agreement mean, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, the date that the Participant first incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of the Participant’s separation from service with the Company, the Participant is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, and any payment payable under this Agreement as a result of such separation from service is required to be delayed by six months pursuant to Section 409A, then the Company will make such payment on the day following the date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s separation from service with the Company.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(Employee – Time Vesting)
This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the [__] day of [___________], 20[__] (the “Grant Date”), by and between Graham Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and having an office at 20 Florence Avenue, Batavia, New York 14020 (the “Company”) and [Employee] (the “Participant”).
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, by action of its Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Company has adopted and its stockholders have approved the 2020 Graham Corporation Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which Restricted Stock Units with respect to shares of Stock may be granted to the Company’s eligible officers, employees and directors; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) has been appointed to select the individuals to whom Restricted Stock Units shall be granted and to prescribe the terms and conditions of such grants; and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the Participant is eligible to be granted Restricted Stock Units and desires to grant Restricted Stock Units to the Participant, and the Participant desires to accept such grant, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Grant of RSUs. As of the Grant Date set forth above, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, and the Participant hereby accepts from the Company, an award of [__] Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) on the terms and conditions hereinafter in the Plan and this Agreement. Each vested RSU represents the right to receive one share of Stock. The RSUs do not include a right to receive dividend equivalents.
Section 2. Vesting.
(a) Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, provided that the Participant has remained a full-time employee of the Company through that date, one-third of the RSUs will vest on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the Grant Date (each, a “Vesting Date”), with any fractional RSUs from such vesting schedule to vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
(b) Upon the death or Disability of the Participant, all outstanding RSUs under this Agreement shall immediately vest in full. “Disability” shall have the meaning given such term by Section 409A (as defined below), which is described in the Plan.
1
(c) In the event of the Participants Retirement, any unvested RSUs shall remain outstanding and continue to vest on the applicable Vesting Date. “Retirement” shall mean a voluntary termination of employment by the Participant when he or she is at least age 65.
(d) If there is an employment agreement (or other agreement providing for treatment of equity awards upon a Change in Control) by and between the Participant and the Company on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, then the terms of such agreement shall apply instead of the terms of this Section 2(d). Otherwise, in the event of the involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company other than for Cause within the 12-month period following a Change in Control, or the voluntary termination of the Participant’s employment by the Participant for Good Reason within the 12-month period following a Change in Control, the RSUs will become fully vested.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall have the equivalent meaning as the term “Cause” or “for Cause” has in any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company, or in the absence of such an agreement that contains such a defined term, shall mean the willful misconduct by the Participant in connection with the performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company, or any other conduct on the part of the Participant which has been materially injurious to the Company.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall have the equivalent meaning as the term “Good Reason” or “Reasonable Determination” has in any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company, or in the absence of such an agreement that contains such a defined term, shall mean the occurrence of any one of the following events without either the Participant’s express prior written consent or substantial cure by the Company within 30 days after the Participant gives written notice to the Company describing the event and requesting cure, provided Participant has given notice within 30 days after he or she became aware of any one or more of the following events constituting Good Reason:
(i) a change in the nature or scope of the Participant’s authority from that prior to a Change in Control, a reduction in the Participant’s total compensation (including all and any base compensation, bonuses, incentive compensation and benefits of any kind or nature whatsoever) from that prior to a Change in Control, or failure of the Company to make any increase in compensation to which the Participant may be entitled under any employment agreement, or a change requiring the Participant to perform services other than in Batavia, New York or Arvada, Colorado, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Participant’s present business travel obligations; or
(ii) subsequent to a Change in Control, and without the Participant’s express written consent, the assignment to the Participant of any duties inconsistent with the Participant’s positions, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company immediately prior to a Change in Control, or a change in the Participant’s reporting responsibilities, titles, or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, or any removal of the Participant from or any failure to re-elect the Participant to any of such positions, except in connection with the termination of employment for Cause, death, Disability or Retirement; or
2
(iii) subsequent to a Change in Control, a reduction by the Company in the Participant’s base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time, or failure of the Company to make an increase in compensation to which the Participant may be entitled under any employment agreement; or
(iv) subsequent to a Change in Control, a failure by the Company to continue any bonus plans in which the Participant is presently entitled to participate (the “Bonus Plans”) as the same may be modified from time to time but substantially in the forms currently in effect, or a failure by the Company to continue the Participant as a participant in the Bonus Plans on at least the same basis as the Participant presently participates in accordance with the Bonus Plans; or
(v) subsequent to a Change in Control, the failure by the Company to continue in effect (subject to such changes as may be required by law from time to time) any benefit or compensation plan, stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan, stock option plan, life insurance plan, health-and-accident plan or disability plan in which the Participant is participating at the time of the Change in Control (or plans providing him with substantially similar benefits), the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect the Participant’s participation in or materially reduce his benefits under any of such plans or deprive the Participant of any material fringe benefit enjoyed at the time of the Change in Control, or the failure by the Company to provide the Participant with the number of paid vacation days to which the Participant is then entitled in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy in effect on the date hereof; or
(vi) prior to a Change in Control, the failure by the Company to obtain the assumption by any successor of any employment agreement between the Company and the Participant, if assumption of such agreement is required by its terms.
(e) Except as otherwise provided by Section 2(b), Section 2(c) or Section 2(d), or unless the Committee determines otherwise, if the Participant’s employment terminates before a Vesting Date for any reason, the unvested RSUs as of such date shall be forfeited and cancelled immediately.
Section 3. Payment. Except as otherwise required by Section 18:
(a) any RSUs which vest on account of the Participant’s death (less the number of shares of Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to Section 4, if any) shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by the Participant in writing prior to the Participant’s death (or in the absence of a properly designated beneficiary, to the Participant’s estate or by or on behalf of such person to the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights pass under his or her will or the laws of descent and distribution) in shares of Stock no later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year which includes the date of the Participant’s death;
(b) any RSUs which vest on account of the involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company other than for Cause within the 12-month period following a Change in Control or the voluntary termination of the Participant’s employment by
3
the Participant for Good Reason within the 12-month period following a Change in Control (less the number of shares of Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to Section 4, if any) shall be paid to the Participant in shares of Stock as soon as practicable following the termination of Participant’s employment, but no later than the December 31st following the termination of employment (or if later the 15th day of the third month following the termination of employment); and
(c) except as otherwise provided by Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), vested RSUs (less the number of shares of Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to Section 4, if any) shall be paid to the Participant in shares of Stock as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date, but no later than the December 31 following the Vesting Date (or if later the 15th day of the third month following the Vesting Date).
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under this Agreement or otherwise, the minimum amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld (or such higher amount that would not have an adverse accounting effect) with respect to the payment under this Agreement or may require the Participant or other person entitled to receive payment hereunder to pay to the Company such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. The Committee may allow the Participant or other person entitled to receive payment hereunder to pay the amount of taxes required to be withheld by withholding shares of Stock from the payment of RSUs, or by permitting the Participant to deliver to the Company, shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of such required withholding taxes (or such other amount that would not have an adverse accounting effect).
Section 5. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not be entitled, prior to the conversion of the RSUs into the right to receive shares of Stock and the issuance of such shares of Stock to the Participant, to any rights as a stockholder with respect to such shares of Stock, including the right to vote, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of the shares of Stock
Section 6. Adjustments in the Event of Reorganization. In the event of any merger, consolidation, or other business reorganization in which the Company is the surviving entity, and in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or other event generally affecting the number of shares of Stock held by each person who is then a stockholder of record, the number of RSUs shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Plan to account for such event.
Section 7. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement nor any action of the Board or Committee with respect to this Agreement shall be held or construed to confer upon the Participant any right to a continuation of employment by the Company or any of its affiliates which employ the Participant. The Participant may be dismissed or otherwise dealt with as though this Agreement had not been entered into.
Section 8. Restrictions on Transfer of RSUs. The RSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, alienated or encumbered in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Section 9. Notices. Any communication required or permitted to be given under the Plan, including any notice, direction, designation, comment, instruction, objection or waiver, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at such time as it is delivered personally or five days after mailing if mailed, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such party at the address listed below, or at such other address as one such party may by written notice specify to the other party:

Section 11. Construction of Language. Whenever appropriate in this Agreement, words used in the singular may be read in the plural, words used in the plural may be read in the singular, and words importing the masculine gender may be read as referring equally to the feminine or the neuter.

Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them under the Plan.
Section 12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by the federal law.
Section 13. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part and in any manner not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, at any time and from time to time by written agreement between the Company and the Participant.
Section 14. Plan Provisions Control. This Agreement and the rights and obligations created hereunder shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, shall control. By signing this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
Section 15. Acceptance by Participant. By executing this Agreement and returning a fully executed copy hereof to the Committee at the address specified in Section 9, the Participant signifies his acceptance of the terms and conditions of the RSUs. If a fully executed copy of this Agreement is not received by the Committee within 45 days after the date when it is presented to

the Participant, the Committee may revoke the RSUs granted, and thereby avoid all obligations hereunder.
Section 16. Recoupment. This Agreement (and any shares of Stock payable hereunder) shall be subject to recovery by the Company under any incentive compensation recoupment policy maintained by the Company, as such policy may be amended from to time.

Section 17. Golden Parachute Limitation.
(a) In the event that the independent auditors most recently selected by the Board (the “Auditors”) determine that any payment by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in Section 280G of the Code, then the total amount of all payments by the Company shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount that maximizes the total amount of the payments without causing any payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code.
(b) If the Auditors determine that any payment by the Company would be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code, then the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, which and how much of the payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within ten days of receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such election. All determinations made by the Auditors shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within 60 days of the date when a payment becomes payable.
(c) As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that payments will have been made by the Company that should not have been made (an “Overpayment”) or that additional payments that will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an

“Underpayment”), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant that the Auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which he or she shall repay to the Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code or to the extent that such loan would be prohibited under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
Section 18. Section 409A. The RSUs are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations promulgated and other official guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), and the Plan and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from or comply with Section 409A, and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. References to “termination of employment” and similar terms used in this Agreement mean, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, the date that the Participant first incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Each payment under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of the Participant’s separation from service with the Company, the Participant is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, and any payment payable under this Agreement as a result of such separation from service is required to be delayed by six months pursuant to Section 409A, then the Company will make such payment on the day following the date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s separation from service with the Company.
