As compensation for his service on the Board, Mr. Swienton will receive an annual retainer of $90,000, at least $20,000 of which must be taken in the form of common stock of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s Board of Director compensation program. In addition, on December 10, 2010, Mr. Swienton received a grant of 2,056 restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The RSUs will vest, subject to Mr. Swienton’s continued service as a director of the Company, three years following the grant date. The other terms and conditions of Mr. Swienton’s grant are set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for Non-Employee Directors to be entered into between the Company and Mr. Swienton, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company issued a press release announcing Mr. Swienton’s election on December 13, 2010, which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

Subject to continued employment with the Company and the achievement of pre-determined performance goals, the PSUs will vest on December 31, 2013 (the end of the performance period). The number of actual PSUs that vest (if any) depends on the achievement of predetermined levels of Net Income and Return on Invested Capital over the three-year performance period.

Exhibit 10.2

LENNOX INTERNATIONAL INC.
Long-Term Incentive Award Agreement
U.S. Employees — Vice President and Above

THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of _____ (the “Award Date”), by and between Lennox International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and _____ (“Participant”).

The Company has adopted the Lennox International Inc. 2010 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), the terms of which are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement, for the benefit of eligible employees, directors, consultants or advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries (together, “LII”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee, which has responsibility for administering the Plan, has determined that it is in the interest of the Company and its stockholders to make the awards provided in this Agreement in order to increase Participant’s personal interest in the continued success and progress of the Company, to foster and enhance the long-term profitability of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders by offering the incentive of long-term rewards, and to encourage Participant to remain in the employ of LII.

The Company and Participant therefore agree as follows:

1. Grant of Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, the Company grants to Participant on the Award Date:

(a) PSU Award — for the period beginning on _____ and ending on _____ (the “Performance Period”), an award of _____ performance share units (“PSUs” and such award, the “PSU Award”);

(b) RSU Award — for the period beginning on _____ and ending on _____ (the “Retention Period”), an award of _____ Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs” and such award, the “RSU Award”); and

(c) SAR Award — for the period beginning on _____ and ending on __________ (the “SAR Period”), _____ Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs” and such award, the “SAR Award”) at a grant price of $ _____ per share of Common Stock (the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant).

2. Conditions for Vesting.

(a) PSU Award — Fifty percent (50%) of the PSU Award is based upon achievement of core net income growth rate performance goals (“Net Income”) for the Performance Period, and fifty percent (50%) of the PSU Award is based upon achievement of return on invested capital performance goals (“ROIC”) for the Performance Period. Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement, at the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will evaluate the Company’s attained levels of performance with respect to Net Income and ROIC to determine the number of whole PSUs earned, if any, by Participant (the “Earned PSUs”). The Committee will determine Participant’s total Earned PSUs for such period by reference to the following performance matrix:

PSU Award — Performance Goals

	Threshold			Target			Maximum
Earned PSUs Payout Levels		50	%		100	%		200	%
Net Income: 3-year compound annual growth rate
ROIC: 3-year weighted average*

* lowest-year ROIC weighted 20%, remaining years weighted 40% each

If, at the end of the Performance Period, the threshold, target or maximum performance goal set forth in the performance matrix above has been attained for either or both of the Net Income or ROIC performance goals, Participant will vest in Earned PSUs as provided in the performance matrix set forth above. If the attained level of performance for either performance goal is between the threshold and target, or between the target and maximum, performance goals set forth in the performance matrix above, Earned PSUs for such performance goal will be determined on an interpolated basis.

(b) RSU Award — Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement, at the end of the Retention Period, the RSU Award will vest (the “Earned RSUs”).

(c) SAR Award — Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement, the SAR Award may be exercised only to the extent the SAR Award has become vested (the “Earned SARs”) according to the following schedule:

Date	SARs Vested
_______________		33 1/3	%
_______________		66 2/3	%
_______________		100	%

Earned SARs may be exercised in whole or in part at any time until expiration of the SAR Period, subject to Section 5 of this Agreement.

3. Method and Time of Payment.

(a) PSU Award — Except as otherwise provided in Section 5, Earned PSUs will be paid within 2.5 months following the end of the Performance Period, minus any shares of Common Stock withheld for taxes pursuant to Section 4 below. Earned PSUs will be paid in the form of the nearest number of whole shares of Common Stock which is equal to or less than the Earned PSUs determined by the reference to the performance matrix specified in Section 2(a) above.

(b) RSU Awards — Except as otherwise provided in Section 5, Earned RSUs will be paid within 30 days following the end of the Retention Period.

If on the last day of the SAR Period (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the grant price of the SAR on the Award Date, (ii) Participant has not exercised the Earned SARs and (iii) the SAR Award has not otherwise been cancelled, then the Earned SARs will be deemed to have been exercised by Participant as of such day, and the Company will settle the Exercised SARs in accordance with this Section 3(c).

Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may deduct from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable in connection with Earned PSUs, Earned RSUs and Exercised SARs a number of whole shares of Common Stock (in the case of Earned PSUs and Earned RSUs, valued at the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of distribution of the Earned PSUs and Earned RSUs; in the case of Earned SARs, valued at the most recent publicly quoted sale price of Common Stock at the time of exercise of the Earned SARs) that is equal to no more than the minimum statutory amount of all Federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such delivery, as determined by the Company.
