2015-2017 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
This Xerium Technologies, Inc. 2015-2017 Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Executive LTIP”) contains rules supplemental to those set forth in the Xerium Technologies, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The Executive LTIP provides for the grant of incentive award opportunities (each, an “Award”) under and subject to the terms of the EIP, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Executive LTIP and applicable provisions of the EIP, the EIP shall control. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the EIP.
1.Administration; Eligibility. The Executive LTIP shall be administered by the Committee as described in the EIP. The Committee may in its discretion consult with outside advisors or internal Company resources for purposes of making any determinations in connection with its administration of the Program. Eligibility to participate in the Executive LTIP shall be limited to executive officers who are selected by the Committee to participate in the Executive LTIP from among those individuals who are eligible to participate in the EIP. Each selected individual who signs and returns an agreement (Award Agreement) in substantially the form of Exhibit A shall be a participant (“Participant”) in this Executive LTIP. Participation in any Award shall not entitle a Participant to share in any future Awards or in any other future awards of the Company or its subsidiaries.
2. Determination of Number of Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock covered by an Award (the “LTIP Shares”) shall be as determined by the Committee and set forth in Schedule 1 to the Award Agreement.
3. Determination of Time-Based Versus Performance-Based LTIP Shares. Participants will receive thirty-five percent (35%) of their LTIP Shares in the form of time-based Restricted Stock Units as described in Section 4 below (“Time-Based RSUs”) and have the remainder of their LTIP Shares (sixty-five percent (65%)) credited to them as performance-based stock units (“Performance Stock Units”) as described in Section 5 below, to be earned and vested subject to satisfaction of certain performance conditions. The performance period is the three-year period comprising a three year period beginning on the date of each Participant’s grant and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of such grant date.
4. General Terms of Time-Based RSUs. Any LTIP Shares that are to be conveyed in the form of Time-Based RSUs will be granted as of the date set forth in Schedule 1 to the Award Agreement. The Award Agreement provides that the RSUs shall vest on the third (3rd) anniversary of such grant date and settle in shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively possible after the third (3rd) anniversary of such grant date, but in all events before the 15th day of the third month following December 31 following the third (3rd) anniversary of such grant date.
5. General Terms of Performance Stock Units. The determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered at the end of the three-year performance period with respect to the Performance Stock Units (the “Performance Shares”) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Award Agreement. The Award Agreement provides that the Performance Stock Units will vest based on achievement of certain performance goals described in Schedule 2. Vested Performance Shares will be delivered in shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively possible after the third (3rd) anniversary of such grant date, but in all events before the 15th day of the third month following December 31 following the third (3rd) anniversary of such grant date.
6. Forfeiture Upon Termination of Employment. Except as provided in the Award Agreement with respect to a Change of Control, death or Disability or a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant with Good Reason (as “Disability”, “Cause” and “Good Reason” are defined in the Award Agreement), notwithstanding vesting under Section 4 or Section 5, no Time-Based RSUs or Performance Shares shall be payable to or in respect of a Participant unless the Participant is employed by the Company or a subsidiary on the third (3rd) anniversary of such grant date.
7. Tax Withholding. The minimum tax withholding amount with respect to any payments being made in Common Stock may be satisfied by means of share withholding at the time the Award is settled as provided in the Award Agreement.
8. Intent to be Exempt from Section 162(m). The portion of the Award paid in Time-Based RSUs is not intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code. The portion of the Award paid in Performance Shares is intended to qualify to the extent possible for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code.
9. Nature of Awards. Awards hereunder are intended as Stock Unit Awards pursuant to the EIP. The Executive LTIP is unfunded.
10. Availability of Stock. If, when Time-Based RSUs or Performance Shares become payable, the number of shares of Common Stock needed exceeds the number of shares then available under the EIP, or exceeds any limit established by the Board on the number of shares delivered in the same fiscal year, the Company will pay out the value of any share that was not delivered in cash on the date otherwise scheduled for delivery of shares and determine its value by using the per-share closing price of the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the date the shares would have been delivered had there been a sufficient number available. Any substitution of cash for shares in such event shall be applied pro rata to all Participants entitled to a distribution by reason of the same event.
11. Clawback. If a Participant receives an Award payout under the Executive LTIP based on financial statements that are subsequently required to be restated in a way that would decrease the number of Shares to which the Participant was entitled, the Participant will refund to the Company the difference between what the Participant received and what the Participant should have received; provided that (i) the value of any difference to be refunded will be determined net of withholding and (ii) no refund will be required for Shares delivered more than three years prior to the date on which the Company is required to prepare the applicable restatement. The value of any difference to be refunded will be determined in a manner consistent with regulations the Securities and Exchange Commission may adopt pursuant to Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
12. Amendment. The Committee may amend the Executive LTIP at any time and from time to time, and may terminate the Executive LTIP, in each case subject only to such limitations, if any, as the EIP may impose.
13. 409A. This Executive LTIP and the Time-Based RSUs and Performance Stock Units granted thereunder shall be construed and administered consistent with the intent that they at all times be in compliance with or exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(f) Unfunded Status. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be contractual only. The Employee shall rely solely on the unsecured promise of the Company and nothing herein shall be construed to give the Employee or any other person or persons any right, title, interest or claim in or to any specific asset, fund, reserve, account or property of any kind whatsoever owned by the Company or any Affiliate.

In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable law, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable law.
(h) Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
(i) Conflicts. To the extent there are any conflicts between provisions this Agreement and any applicable employment agreement entered into between Employee and the Company or its subsidiaries, the provisions of such employment agreement shall govern and nothing in this Agreement shall in any way amend, supersede or otherwise change any provisions or rights contained in such employment agreement.
