On or prior to the Distribution Date, but in any case prior to the Share Distribution, CSWI shall retain, assume and agree, as applicable, to faithfully perform, discharge and fulfill the following Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms (each of which shall be considered a “CSWI Compensation and Benefit Liability”), regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the Distribution Date:

(i) any and all wages, salaries, incentive compensation (as the same may be modified by this Agreement), equity compensation (as the same may be modified by Article III of this Agreement), commissions, bonuses and any other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any CSWI Company Employee or Former CSWI Company Employee on or after the Distribution Date by any Capital Southwest Company or CSWI Company, in each case arising out of such CSWI Company Employee’s or Former CSWI Company Employee’s capacity as an Employee or Former Employee of any Capital Southwest Company or CSWI Company, and, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses or other employee compensation or benefits are or may have been awarded or earned; provided, however, with respect to any CSWI Company Employees that are Transferring Employees, only wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses or other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of such Transferring Employees that have or will be awarded or earned on and after the Distribution Date shall be assumed, performed, discharged and fulfilled by CSWI; provided, further, that any Liability expressly retained by a Capital Southwest Company pursuant to this Agreement will remain a Liability of the applicable capital Southwest Company and will not be a CSWI Compensation and Benefit Liability;

(ii) any and all Liabilities whatsoever with respect to claims made by or with respect to any CSWI Company Employee or Former CSWI Company Employee in connection with any Benefit Plan not retained or assumed by any of the Capital Southwest Companies pursuant to this Agreement, the Distribution Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement; and

(iii) any and all Liabilities expressly assumed or retained by CSWI or any of the CSWI Companies pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Retention of Capital Southwest Compensation and Benefit Liabilities. Capital Southwest shall retain and agree to faithfully perform, discharge and fulfill any and all Liabilities of Employees for compensation, wages and employee benefits other than the CSWI Compensation and Benefit Liabilities, in accordance with their respective terms.

(c) Payroll and Related Taxes. With respect to any Transferring Employee, the Parties shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, (i) treat CSWI (or the applicable CSWI Companies) as a “successor employer” and Capital Southwest (or the applicable Capital Southwest Companies) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended (“FICA”), or the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act, as amended (“FUTA”), (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid, to the extent possible, the restart of FICA and FUTA upon or following the Distribution Date with respect to each such CSWI Company Employee for the tax year during which the Distribution Date occurs, and (iii) use commercially reasonably efforts to implement the alternate procedure described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53; provided, however, that, to the extent that CSWI (or the applicable CSWI Companies) cannot be treated as a “successor employer” to Capital Southwest (or the applicable Capital Southwest Companies) within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code with respect to any Transferring Employee, (x) with respect to the portion of the tax year commencing on January 1, 2015 and ending on the Distribution Date, Capital Southwest will (A) be responsible for all payroll obligations, Tax withholding and reporting obligations for such Transferring Employee and (B) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement to all such Transferring Employees for such period, and (y) with respect to the remaining portion of such tax year, CSWI will (A) be responsible for all payroll obligations, Tax withholding and reporting obligations regarding such Transferring Employees and (B) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement to all such Transferring Employees.

(d) Unaddressed Liabilities. To the extent that this Agreement does not address particular Liabilities for compensation, wages or employee benefits under any Benefit Plan and the Parties later determine that they should be allocated in connection with the Share Distribution, the Parties shall agree in good faith on the allocation, taking into account the handling of comparable Liabilities under this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Service Credit.

Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Ancillary Agreement, CSWI shall, or shall cause the CSWI Companies, respectively, to, recognize each CSWI Company Employee’s and each Former CSWI Company Employee’s full service with any of the Capital Southwest Companies or predecessor entities at or before the Distribution Date, to the same extent that such service was credited by the Capital Southwest Companies for similar purposes prior to the Distribution Date as if such full service had been performed for CSWI or the applicable CSWI Company that is the Employee’s employer after the Distribution Date, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and determination of level of benefits under any Benefit Plan sponsored by CSWI or the applicable CSWI Company.

(b) Credit for Compensation. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Ancillary Agreement, the compensation paid by Capital Southwest and its Subsidiaries to an Employee shall be credited and recognized for all applicable purposes under the applicable Benefit Plans following the Distribution Date as though it were compensation from CSWI or any of the CSWI Companies, as applicable.

Section 2.3 Transferring Employees.

Such new employment agreements, if any, shall supersede and replace any offers of employment and/or employment agreements entered into between such Transferring Employee and any of the Capital Southwest Companies.

Section 2.4 Collective Bargaining.

ARTICLE III

EQUITY, INCENTIVE AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Section 3.1 Generally. Each Capital Southwest Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date shall be adjusted as described below; provided, however, that, effective immediately prior to the Distribution Date, the Capital Southwest Compensation Committee may provide for different adjustments with respect to some or all Capital Southwest Awards to the extent that the Capital Southwest Compensation Committee deems such adjustments necessary and appropriate. Any adjustments made by the Capital Southwest Compensation Committee pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth below and shall be binding on the Parties and their respective Affiliates. On or prior to the Distribution Date, the CSWI Equity Plan shall be established, with such terms as are necessary to permit the implementation of the provisions of Section 3.2.

Section 3.2 Equity Incentive Awards.

(a) Restricted Stock. Each holder of an outstanding Capital Southwest Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Distribution Date shall receive, as of the Distribution Date, a CSWI Restricted Stock Award for such number of CSWI Shares as is determined in the same way as if the outstanding Capital Southwest Restricted Stock Award comprised fully vested Capital Southwest Shares as of the Distribution Date. Except as set forth in this Section 3.2, the Post-Separation Capital Southwest Restricted Stock Award and the CSWI Restricted Stock Award issued in accordance with this Section 3.2 both shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) immediately after the Distribution Date as were applicable to the Capital Southwest Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Distribution Date (except as otherwise provided herein, including in Section 3.2(c)).

(b) Stock Options. Each Capital Southwest Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Distribution Date, regardless of by whom held, shall be converted as of the Distribution Date into both a Post-Separation Capital Southwest Option and a CSWI Option and shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting and expiration) after the Distribution Date as were applicable to such Capital Southwest Option immediately prior to the Distribution Date (except as otherwise provided herein, including in Section 3.2(c)); provided, however, that from and after the Distribution Date:

(i) the number of Capital Southwest Shares subject to such Post-Separation Capital Southwest Option shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Capital Southwest Shares subject to the corresponding Capital Southwest Option immediately prior to the Distribution Date by (B) the Share Value Factor, with the resulting number rounded down to the nearest whole share;

(ii) the number of CSWI Shares subject to such CSWI Option shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Capital Southwest Shares subject to the corresponding Capital Southwest Option immediately prior to the Distribution Date by (B) the Share Value Factor, with the resulting number rounded down to the nearest whole share;

(iii) the per share exercise price of such Post-Separation Capital Southwest Option shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of the corresponding Capital Southwest Option immediately prior to the Distribution Date by (B) the Capital Southwest Ratio, with the resulting number rounded up to the nearest cent; and

(iv) the per share exercise price of such CSWI Option shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of the corresponding Capital Southwest Option immediately prior to the Distribution Date by (B) the CSWI Ratio, with the resulting number rounded up to the nearest cent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.2(b), the exercise price, the number of Capital Southwest Shares and CSWI Shares subject to each Post-Separation Capital Southwest Option and CSWI Option, and the terms and conditions of exercise of such options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the Capital Southwest Share Value shall be treated as the fair market value of a Capital Southwest Share immediately prior to the substitutions described in this Section 3.2(b) and the Post-Separation Capital Southwest Share Value and the CSWI Share Value shall be treated as the fair market value of a Capital Southwest Share and the fair market value of a CSWI Share, respectively, immediately after such substitutions.

(c) Miscellaneous Award Terms. With respect to Post-Separation Capital Southwest Awards and CSWI Awards, (i) employment with or service to the Capital Southwest Companies shall be treated as employment with and service to CSWI with respect to CSWI Awards held by Capital Southwest Company Employees and (ii) employment with or service to CSWI or a CSWI Company shall be treated as employment with or service to Capital Southwest with respect to Post-Separation Capital Southwest Awards held by CSWI Company Employees. In addition, none of the Share Distribution or any employment action described in Section 2.3 shall constitute a termination of employment for any Employee for purposes of any Post-Separation Capital Southwest Award or any CSWI Award. After the Distribution Date, for any award adjusted under this Section 3.2, any reference to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar definition in an award agreement, employment agreement or Capital Southwest Equity Plan applicable to such award (A) with respect to Post-Separation Capital Southwest Awards, shall be deemed to refer to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar definition as set forth in the applicable award agreement, employment agreement or Capital Southwest Equity Plan (a “Capital Southwest Change of Control”) and (B) with respect to CSWI Awards, shall be deemed to refer to a “Change in Control” as defined in the CSWI Equity Plan (a “CSWI Change of Control”). Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to provisions related to vesting of awards, a Capital Southwest Change of Control shall be treated as a CSWI Change of Control for purposes of CSWI Awards held by Capital Southwest Company Employees and a CSWI Change of Control shall be treated as a Capital Southwest Change of Control for purposes of Post-Separation Capital Southwest Awards held by CSWI Company Employees.

After the Distribution Date, Capital Southwest shall retain all Liabilities associated with the Capital Southwest Incentive Awards held by Capital Southwest Company Employees or Transferring Employees, including any replacement awards issued to any Capital Southwest Company Employees pursuant to Section 3.3(b), and CSWI shall assume all Liabilities associated with the Capital Southwest Incentive Awards held by CSWI Company Employees who are not Transferring Employees, as well as any replacement awards issued to CSWI Company Employees (including Transferring Employees) pursuant to Section 3.3(b). Employment with or service to CSWI or a CSWI Company shall be treated as employment with or service to Capital Southwest with respect to Capital Southwest Incentive Awards held by CSWI Company Employees following the Distribution Date. In addition, none of the Share Distribution or any employment action described in Section 2.3 shall constitute a termination of employment for any Employee for purposes of any Capital Southwest Incentive Award.

(b) Replacement Awards.
