Deferral elections shall be made according to the procedures established by the Company, which may include making an election by electronic means. An Eligible Employee’s or Non-Employee Director’s election to defer compensation shall be effective only for the calendar year to which the election relates, and shall not carry over from year to year, unless the election form specifies otherwise. As of the end of the applicable Annual Enrollment Period, the Eligible Employee’s or Non-Employee Director’s deferral election shall be irrevocable except as provided in Section 4.2. An Eligible Employee or Non-Employee Director may make a deferral election at such other times not described above as may be permitted by the Company consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A. All deferrals shall be credited to the Participant’s Account on, or as soon as practicable after, the Allocation Date.
4.2Cancellation of Deferral Elections.
(a)Permitted Cancellations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Company determines that an Active Participant’s deferral election(s) must be cancelled in order for the individual to receive a hardship distribution under the Company’s or any affiliate’s 401(k) plan or as needed for the Active Participant to receive an unforeseeable emergency distribution hereunder, then the Active Participant’s deferral election(s) shall be cancelled to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A.
(b)Effect of Cancellation. An Active Participant whose deferral election(s) are cancelled pursuant to this Section 4.2 may make a new deferral election under Section 4.1 if such individual continues to be an Eligible Employee or Non-Employee Director for the next Annual Enrollment Period.
4.3Matching Contributions. The Company shall allocate to the Account of each Active Participant who has made a base salary deferral election hereunder and who is an Eligible Employee a matching contribution determined by applying the same matching contribution formula that is in effect for such Participant under the 401(k) plan of the Company or Affiliate in which the Participant is eligible to participate to the base salary deferrals made by the Participant hereunder. Company matching contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Account on, or as soon as practicable after, the Allocation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who is (a) eligible to receive a Company contribution under Section 5.1 for a Plan Year, or (b) who is a Non-Employee Director, shall not be eligible to receive any matching contributions hereunder for such Plan Year. Further, no matching contribution shall be made with respect to deferred Stock Awards.

The Company may, from time to time, allocate to the Account of any Active Participant such amount, if any, as is determined by the Committee (with respect to officers) or the Company (with respect to all other Eligible Employees) in its sole discretion with respect to such individual, subject to such conditions as the Committee or Company, as applicable, may determine. The discretionary contribution amount may vary from Plan Year to Plan Year and from Participant to Participant. Discretionary contributions shall be allocated to a Participant’s Account as of the Allocation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who is eligible to receive a Company contribution under Section 5.1 for a Plan Year shall not be eligible to receive any discretionary company contributions hereunder for such Plan Year.
Section 6 - Participant Accounts
6.1Cash Account
(a)Maintenance of Account. The Company shall credit (or debit) to each Participant’s Cash Account the following amounts at the times specified:
7



(i)Base salary and cash fee deferrals and, if applicable, Company contributions determined pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 above for any Plan Year and, if applicable, any cash otherwise payable under a deferred Stock Award, in each case, as of the relevant Allocation Date.
(ii)As of each Valuation Date, an amount equal to the gains or losses since the last preceding Valuation Date, based on the investment option(s) in which the Account is deemed invested.
(iii)The amount distributed from the Participant’s Cash Account, as of the date of such distribution.
(b)Investment Options. From time to time, the Committee shall designate one or more investment options that shall be available under the Plan for purposes of calculating earnings (or losses) on Participants’ Cash Account. In no event shall Company stock be an investment option for Cash Accounts, nor may any amount credited to a Cash Account be transferred to a Stock Account. The Committee shall also designate a default investment option in which a Participant’s Cash Account shall be deemed invested if a Participant does not make an investment election under subsection (b).
(c)Elections. A Participant shall be permitted to elect to have his or her Cash Account deemed invested in one or more of the investment options made available under the Plan. A Participant may change his or her investment option election with respect to either the investment of future amounts credited to the Participant’s Cash Account and/or the investment of all or a designated portion of the current balance of the Participant’s Cash Account. All such elections must be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Company. Any investment election made pursuant to this subsection shall be effective as soon as administratively possible after the date that the Participant files the investment option election.
(d)Adjustment for Earnings or Losses. A Participant’s Cash Account shall be credited with earnings (or debited for losses) based on the investment options selected by the Participant, or, if no investment election has been made, based on the default investment option designated by the Committee.
6.2Stock Account.
(a)Crediting Deferrals; Debiting Distributions. As of each Allocation Date, the Company shall credit a number of whole and fractional Share Units to the Participant’s Stock Account equal to the number of whole and fractional Shares that the Participant would have otherwise received absent the deferral election on such Allocation Date. The Company shall debit one Share Unit from the Participant’s Stock Account for each Share distributed from the Participant’s Account as of the date of such distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may credit or debit fractional Share Units, and the balance of a Participant’s Stock Account may include fractional Share Units; however, no fractional Shares will be issued from the Stock Account but will instead be paid in cash in accordance with Section 8.
(b)Dividends. If any dividends or distributions (other than in the form of Shares) are paid on the Shares while a Participant has Share Units credited to his or her Stock Account, then such Participant’s Stock Account shall be credited, upon the date such dividend or distribution is paid, with additional Shares Units equal to (i) the amount of the cash dividend paid, or fair market value of other
8



property distributed (as determined by the Company), on one Share, multiplied by the number of Share Units (including fractional Share Units) credited to the Participant’s Account as of the record date of such dividend or distribution, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share (as determined under the Equity Plan) on the dividend payment date.
(c)Adjustment to Shares. In the event of any transaction affecting the Shares (including a dividend or other distribution paid in Shares) that would cause an adjustment to be made to outstanding awards under the adjustment provisions of the Equity Plan, the Company shall make appropriate equitable adjustments with respect to the Share Units credited to each Participant’s Stock Account as the Committee determines is necessary or desirable to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be provided under the Plan consistent with the adjustment provisions in the Equity Plan.
(d)No Transfer. In no event may amounts credited to the Stock Account be transferred to the Cash Account, nor may any amount credited to the Cash Account be transferred to the Stock Account.
(e)No Shareholder Rights with Respect to Share Units. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder pertaining to Share Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Account.
6.3No Trust Created
Participants’ Accounts shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to Participants under the Plan. Participant Accounts shall not constitute or be treated as a trust fund of any kind. Title to and beneficial ownership of any assets which the Company may earmark to pay deferred compensation hereunder shall at all times remain in the Company, and Participants shall have no interest in any specific assets of the Company by virtue of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to finance its obligation hereunder in any manner.
Section 7 - Vesting
7.1Vesting – General
(a)Except as provided in subsection (b), a Participant shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested in his or her Account.
(b)With respect to the Participant’s sub-account to which amounts under Section 5.1 are allocated, a Participant shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested in the Participant’s Account on the date the Participant has completed at least three (3) Years of Vesting Service. The Committee may, in its discretion, approve more favorable vesting with respect to a Participant’s Account, including accelerated vesting upon a Participant’s Termination. A Participant’s Account shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested if the Participant dies while employed by the Company and its Affiliates. In the event of a Participant’s termination of employment from the Company and its Affiliates prior to becoming vested, the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited.
9

Section 8 - Payment of Benefits
8.1Default Form, Timing and Medium of Payment
Except as otherwise may be provided in Sections 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4, the Participant’s Account (or any particular sub-account) shall be distributed in a single lump sum at the following time:
(a)with respect to sub-accounts related to the deferral of cash fees or Stock Awards earned for service as a Non-Employee Director, as soon as practicable (but no later than ninety (90) days) after the Non-Employee Director’s Separation from Service, provided that any cash fees deferred for 2024 will be distributed (or distributions will commence) on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the month in which the Non-Employee Director’s Separation from Service occurs; and
(b) with respect to all other sub-accounts, on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the month in which the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs.
All distributions from the Cash Account shall be made in cash and all distributions from the Stock Account shall be made in Shares (provided that fractional shares may be distributed in cash). All Shares payable under the Plan shall be issued from the Equity Plan. All cash distributions hereunder shall be the amount determined as of a Valuation Date that is within two weeks preceding the date of distribution.
8.2Installment Elections
To the extent permitted by the Company, in lieu of receiving payment as a single lump sum, a Participant may elect, in accordance with this Section 8.2, to receive payment of their Account (or a particular sub-account) in installments.
(a)Timing of Elections. A Participant may elect during the Annual Enrollment Period (or such other time as permitted by the Company in compliance with Code Section 409A) that the sub-account(s) established for the applicable Plan Year (or portion thereof) or established with respect to a particular Stock Award deferral be paid in annual installments for a maximum of ten (10) years following the Participant’s Separation from Service instead of in a single sum distribution. A separate election may be made with respect to the Cash Account and Stock Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the first contribution to which a Participant becomes entitled under Section 5.1, the Participant may elect, within the first thirty (30) days of participation with respect to such contribution, to have the sub-account established under Section 5.1 for the first year of participation paid in annual installments for a maximum of ten (10) years instead of a single cash distribution. With respect to each sub-account established for each subsequent year, the installment election shall be made in accordance with the first paragraph of this subsection (a).
All elections must be made in accordance with the procedures (including any deadlines) established by the Company. A Participant’s election to have the Participant’s sub-account(s) paid in installments shall
10



be effective only for the calendar year or Stock Award to which the election relates, and shall not carry over from year to year or from award to award, unless the election form specifies otherwise.
(b)Manner of Payment. If a Participant’s Account is to be distributed in installments, the initial installment shall be paid in accordance with Section 8.1 (or 8.3 or 8.4, as applicable), the second installment shall be made in January of the calendar year following the date of payment of the initial installment, and each subsequent installment thereafter (if any) shall be made in each January thereafter until all installment payments have been paid to the Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of each installment payment shall equal the quotient of (i) the remaining Account balance to be distributed, divided by (ii) the number of installment payments remaining in the applicable period of annual installments, provided that, with respect to distributions from the Stock Account, each installment shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share other than the final installment, with such final installment including all remaining whole Shares plus the amount of any fractional Share paid in cash.
(c)Cashouts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the balance of a Participant’s Account (excluding any SAP Accounts under Appendix A) is $25,000 or less as of the date any installment payment is due, then the entire remaining balance of the Participant’s Account shall be accelerated and paid in a single lump-sum distribution.
(d)Lump Sum Distribution on Death. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s Separation from Service is due to death, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a single sum distribution (notwithstanding any installment election previously made) to the Participant’s Beneficiary as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the date of the Participant’s death.
(e)Irrevocability. All elections made hereunder shall be irrevocable except as provided by Section 8.4.
(f)Payment to Beneficiaries. If a Participant elected to have the Participant’s Account be paid in the form of annual installments and the Participant dies prior to receiving all such annual installments, the Beneficiary of the deceased Participant shall receive such remaining payments as a lump-sum.
8.3In-Service Distribution Elections
To the extent permitted by the Company, in lieu of receiving payment in connection with a Separation from Service as provided in Section 8.1, a Participant may elect to receive payment (or commence installment payments) of their Account (or a particular sub-account) as an in-service distribution in accordance with this Section 8.3.
(a)Timing of Election. A Participant may elect during the Annual Enrollment Period (or such other time as permitted by the Company in compliance with Code Section 409A), that the sub-account(s) established for the following Plan Year (or portion thereof) or established for a particular Stock Award be paid at one or more specified dates (as permitted by the Company) prior to the Participant’s Separation from Service. If the Participant Separates from Service prior to the date so specified, then the Participant’s Account will be paid (or payments will commence under Section 8.2, if applicable) upon such Separation from Service in accordance with Section 8.1. All elections must be made in accordance with the procedures (including any deadlines) established by the Company. A
11



Participant’s election to have the Participant’s sub-account(s) paid at one or more specified dates shall be effective only for the calendar year to which the election relates, and shall not carry over from year to year, unless the election form specifies otherwise.
(b)Irrevocability. All elections made hereunder shall be irrevocable except as provided by Section 8.4.
8.4Subsequent Changes in Time or Form of Payment
The Company may (but shall not be required to) permit an Active Participant to elect to delay the payment of one or more of his or her sub-accounts or to change the form of distribution of one or more of his or her sub-accounts, in accordance with such procedures as the Company may establish, provided that the following conditions are met:
(a)Any election under this Section 8.4 shall not take effect until a date that is at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made;
(b)The election must result in the distribution of the sub-account being deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid;
(c)Any election under this Section 8.4 shall be made on a date that is not less than twelve (12) months prior to the date the payment is originally scheduled to be made; and
(d)Only one election per sub-account shall be permitted.
8.5Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution         
        The Participant shall have no right to receive amounts credited to his or her Account other than as provided in this Section 8. However, the Committee may allow a partial or total distribution of the Participant’s interest in his Account, after the Account has become vested and prior to the time it otherwise would be payable, upon the Participant’s request and a demonstration by the Participant of a severe financial hardship as the result of an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount of any such distribution shall be limited to the amount reasonably deemed necessary to the Committee to alleviate the Participant’s Unforeseeable Emergency and an amount to cover any Federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. Such distribution shall be made in a single sum as soon as administratively possible following the Committee’s approval.
8.6Deferrals After Distribution of Account
Any amount that would otherwise be deferred or otherwise credited to the Plan after a Participant’s Account (or relevant sub-account) has been distributed in full in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8 (other than a distribution in accordance with Section 8.5) shall be paid to the Participant directly at the time the amount would have been credited to the Participant’s Account.
Section 9 - Administration

9.5Expenses
All expenses and costs incurred in connection with the administration and operation of the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
9.6Minor or Incompetent Payees
If a person to whom a benefit is payable is a minor or is otherwise incompetent by reason of a physical or mental disability, the Committee may cause the payments due to such person to be made to another person for the first person’s benefit without any responsibility to see to the application of such payment. Such payments shall operate as a complete discharge of the obligations to such person under the Plan.
9.7Withholding
To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold any taxes required to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government from payments made hereunder or from other amounts due to the Participant by the Company or any Affiliate. In addition, if prior to the date of distribution of any amount hereunder, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2), where applicable, becomes due, then the Company may authorize a payment from the Participant’s Account equal to the amount needed to pay the Participant’s portion of such tax, as well as withholding taxes resulting therefrom (including the additional taxes attributable to the pyramiding of such distributions and taxes).
9.8Indemnification
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee or director involved in the administration of the Plan with respect to any and all liabilities and expenses arising out of the administration of the Plan, except liabilities and expenses arising out of such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.9Designation of Beneficiary
The Participant may designate a Beneficiary to receive the balance of the Participant’s Account if the Participant dies before such amounts are paid. Each Participant shall be permitted to name, change or revoke the Participant’s designation of a Beneficiary shall be made according to the procedures established by the Company, which may include making an election by electronic means; provided, however, that the designation on file with the Company at the time of the Participant’s death shall be controlling. Should a Participant fail to make a valid beneficiary designation or leave no named Beneficiary surviving, any benefits due shall be paid to such Participant’s spouse, if living, or if not living, then any benefits due shall be paid to such Participant’s estate.
9.10Unclaimed Benefits
If the Committee cannot locate a Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant to whom payment of benefits under this Plan shall be required, following a diligent effort by the Committee to locate the Participant or Beneficiary, such benefit shall be forfeited.

Section 10 - Status of Plan and Trust Agreement
10.1Unfunded Status of the Plan
The right of any individual to receive payment under the provisions of this Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company, and no provisions contained in this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to this Plan, shall be construed to give any individual at any time a security interest in any asset of the Company. The liabilities of the Company to any individual pursuant to this Plan shall be those of a debtor pursuant to such contractual obligations as are created by this Plan and to the extent any person acquires a right to receive payment from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. Amounts, if any, which may be set aside by the Company for accounting purposes shall not in any way be held in trust for, or be subject to the claims of, any individual who may be entitled to a benefit hereunder.
10.2Existence and Purposes of Trust Agreement
The Company may enter into a trust agreement with a trustee to hold a trust fund that may become the source of Plan benefits as provided in such agreement. In such event, the trustee would have such powers to hold, invest, reinvest, control, and disburse such trust fund as shall, at such time and from time to time, be set forth in the trust agreement or this Plan. The trust agreement, if any, shall be deemed to be a part of this Plan, and all rights of Participants and Beneficiaries under this Plan shall be subject to the provisions of the trust agreement, if and as applicable. No Participant or Beneficiary, nor any other person, shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the trust fund maintained under the trust agreement upon termination of such Participant’s employment or otherwise, except as may be specifically provided from time to time in this Plan, the trust agreement, or both, and then only to the extent so specifically provided.

The Company shall review the claim and notify the claimant of its decision within 90 days of receipt of such claim, unless the claimant receives written notice prior to the end of the 90-day period stating that special circumstances require an extension of the time for decision. The Company’s decision shall be in writing, sent by first class mail to the claimant’s last known address, and if a denial of the claim, shall contain the specific reasons for the denial, reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, a description of any additional information or material necessary to perfect the claim, and an explanation of the claims review procedure including the claimant’s right to bring a suit for benefits under ERISA Section 502 if the claimant’s appeal is denied.
11.2Review Procedure

Absent a request for review within the 60-day period, the claim will be deemed to be conclusively denied. The Committee shall afford the claimant or his authorized representative the opportunity to review all pertinent documents
15



and submit issues and comments in writing and shall render a decision in writing, all within 60 days after receipt of a request for review (provided that in special circumstances the Committee may extend the time for decision by not more than 60 days upon written notice to the claimant). The Committee’s review decision shall contain specific reasons for the decision and reference to the pertinent provisions of the Plan, and notification to the claimant of his or her right to bring suit for benefits under ERISA Section 502.

12.2Right to Terminate
The Committee or the Board reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. Termination of the Plan shall not decrease a Participant’s vested Account determined as of the termination date.

13.1No Rights to Continued Service
Nothing herein shall constitute a contract of employment or of continuing service or in any manner obligate the Company to continue the services of the Participant or obligate the Participant to continue in the service of the Company, or as a limitation of the right of the Company or any Affiliate to discharge any of its employees, with or without cause. Nothing herein shall be construed as fixing or regulating the compensation or other remuneration payable to the Participant.
13.2Offset
If, at the time payments or installments of payments are to be made hereunder, the Participant or the Beneficiary or both are indebted or obligated to the Company, then the payments remaining to be made to the Participant or the Beneficiary or both may, at the discretion of the Company, be reduced by the amount of such indebtedness or obligation, provided, however, that an election by the Company not to reduce any such payment or payments shall not constitute a waiver of its claim for such indebtedness or obligation.
13.3Protective Provisions

No part of the amounts payable shall be, prior to actual payment, subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Participant or any other person, or be transferrable by operation of law in the event of the Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

ALTRA SAVINGS ADVANTAGE PLAN
ACCOUNT BALANCES

Effective January 1, 2024, the account balances maintained under the Altra Savings Advantage Plan (the “SAP”) became subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. Except as set forth below, all terms and conditions of the Plan apply to such transferred account balances, which are referred to in this Appendix as the “SAP Accounts”. For clarity, each reference herein to a “SAP Account” includes any sub-accounts maintained under such SAP Account.

Accounts in Pay Status. If a Participant’s SAP Account is in pay status as of January 1, 2024, or if the distribution event for such SAP Account has occurred prior to January 1, 2024, then such SAP Account shall be paid in accordance with the Participant’s distribution election (or if applicable, the default payment rules of the SAP as in effect on December 31, 2023) from and after January 1, 2024.

Timing of Payment - General. A Participant’s SAP Account shall be paid at the following time, as previously elected by the Participant under the SAP: (a) on or about the first day of any month elected by the Participant; (b) with respect to a Participant who elects a single sum payment, within sixty (60) days following the termination of his or her employment or, with respect to distributions in any form other than a single sum, the first day of the month that is at least sixty (60) days following the termination of his or her employment; or (c) the earlier of (a) or (b); provided that any payment due upon a Participant’s Separation from Service shall be delayed for six (6) months to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A. In the event that a Participant failed to make an election, the balance of his or her SAP Account shall be distributed in a lump sum within sixty (60) days after the Participant’s termination of employment, subject to any delays required to comply with Code Section 409A.

Death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in the event of a Participant’s death before the distribution of his or her SAP Account has commenced, his or her Beneficiary shall receive the value of his or her entire SAP Account balance in cash in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s death; and (b) in the event of a Participant’s death after he or she has commenced receiving installment payments of his or her SAP Account, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive a lump sum cash distribution of the remaining value of the Participant’s SAP Account as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s death, provided, however, that if the Participant so elected prior to his or her death, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall continue to receive installment payments relating to such Account on the same schedule as the Participant was receiving.

Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Participant incurs a Disability (as defined below) before the distribution of his or her SAP Account has commenced, the Company shall commence paying benefits relating to such Account to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible after the Participant becomes disabled, provided, however, that if the Participant so elects at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of his or her Disability, he or she may commence receiving his or her SAP Account as of the later of the first day of the month following his or her 65th birthday or the first day of the month following the day on which his or her long-term disability payments under the Company’s long-term disability plan cease. Distributions under this section may be made in any form permissible as described below, as elected by the Participant at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of his or her Disability or as previously elected by the Participant upon becoming eligible to participate in the SAP. For purposes hereof, “Disability” means that a Participant is: (a) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12
18



months; or (b) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company; or (c) determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration.

Form of Payment. Except as set forth above, payment of a Participant’s SAP Account shall be made in one of the following forms, as previously elected by the Participant:

(i)Installments. Annual payments of a fixed amount that shall amortize the amount relating to the SAP Account as of the payment commencement date over a period not to exceed twenty (20) years.
(ii)Single Sum Distribution. A single sum payment to the Participant or Beneficiary, as applicable.
Change in Time and Form of Payment. The provisions of Section 8.4 of the Plan govern changes elected by the Participant to the time and form of payment of the Participant’s SAP Account.
