2. Compensation and Benefits. Certain components of Osowick’s Cummins compensation and benefits are listed and shall be treated as described in Sections 2(a)-2(d). All other compensation and benefits shall be administered according to the terms of applicable policies, practices, agreements and plans to the extent they do not conflict with this Agreement. If such terms conflict with this Agreement, relevant provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control interpretation and administration of Xxxxxxx’x Cummins compensation and benefits. Bonuses and other Cummins compensation and benefits under this Agreement shall not be applied to the calculation of any Cummins compensation and benefits to which Osowick is not otherwise entitled by applicable law, policies, plans, agreements, or practices as of the date on which this Agreement is executed.

a. Stock Option Grants: Stock option grants under Cummins’ 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan held by Xxxxxxx as of the Retirement Date shall be deemed fully vested on the Retirement Date and shall continue to relate to Cummins’ common stock. The expiration date for such grants shall be adjusted to the sooner of 5 years (i.e., 60 months) after the Retirement Date or the grants’ original expiration date.

b. Performance Cash and Performance Share Grants: Performance cash and performance share grants under Cummins’ 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan held by Xxxxxxx as of the Retirement Date shall be pro-rated as of the Retirement Date based on Xxxxxxx’x number of months of active service prior to the Retirement Date during the applicable performance period in which the IPO Effectiveness Date occurs. Payout of these grants shall be processed by Cummins according to the payout factors, payout schedules and other terms and conditions of applicable policies, plans, and practices. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Employee Matters Agreement between Cummins and Filtration, the grants held by Osowick shall not be converted into awards relating to Filtration performance or Filtration common stock.

Xxxxxxx’x initial term of employment (the “Initial Term”) shall be no longer in duration than six (6) months from the IPO Effectiveness Date during which Osowick shall remain a regular employee in at-will status. Exhibit B summarizes the components of Xxxxxxx’x target direct compensation from Cummins for 2022, which shall be relevant to the determination of his compensation for services provided to Public Filtration as set forth below in Section 3(b) and Section 4.

ii. First Extension of Initial Term: Upon expiration or early termination of the Initial Term, Public Filtration and Osowick may mutually agree to extend his employment as a regular employee in at-will status for no longer than six (6) months (the “First Extension”) from the date of expiration or early termination. An agreed First Extension must be in writing and signed by Public Filtration’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Osowick.

iii. New CHRO Contingencies: If Public Filtration designates a new CHRO during the Initial Term or a First Extension it will attempt to provide Osowick four (4) weeks’ notice of termination and the end of his employment as a Public Filtration employee. Upon termination or expiration of the Initial Term or a First Extension, Public Filtration may choose to engage Xxxxxxx as an independent contractor consultant. The duration of such consultancy (the “Consultancy Period”) shall be no longer than three (3) months beyond the earlier of the expiration or early termination of the Initial Term or a First Extension concerning which notice of termination is provided. During the Consultancy Period Osowick will not continue as CHRO; rather, he will advise Public Filtration regarding the new CHRO’s transition and development. Xxxxxxx shall not be entitled to Public Filtration benefits during the Consultancy Period, and days within the Consultancy Period shall not be applied to the calculation of any Cummins or Public Filtration benefits. An agreed Consultancy Period, payment terms and conditions of consultancy must be documented in writing and signed by Public Filtration’s CEO and Osowick.

b. Compensation and Benefits: Certain components of Osowick’s Public Filtration compensation and benefits are listed and shall be treated as described in Sections 3(b)(i) – 3(b)(iii). All other compensation and benefits shall be administered according to the terms of applicable policies, practices, agreements and plans to the extent they do not conflict with this Agreement. If such terms contradict this Agreement, relevant provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control interpretation and administration of Xxxxxxx’x Public Filtration compensation and benefits.

(NON-EXECUTABLE DRAFT)

i. Base Salary: During the Initial Term and any First Extension, Public Filtration shall pay Osowick a base salary at an annual rate equal to his annual base salary at Cummins when he retired. Compensation applicable to the Consultancy Period shall be determined by Public Filtration.

ii. Variable Compensation: To the extent Osowick earns at least one full month’s base salary from Public Filtration during 2022, he shall be eligible to earn a variable compensation bonus based on such base salary (“2022 Public Filtration Variable Compensation”), provided that the CEO in her or his sole discretion determines Osowick is meeting performance expectations. Public Filtration will apply a variable compensation target equal to the target applied to Osowick’s 2022 CMI Variable Compensation, pro-rated for the partial year of service. Calculation of 2022 Public Filtration Variable Compensation shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of applicable Public Filtration policies, plans, agreements and practices. If Osowick remains in Public Filtration’s employ in 2023 and accrues eligible earnings under its variable compensation plan, the bonus shall be pro-rated for any partial year of service and shall be subject to applicable policies, plans, agreements, and practices, including payout in 2024.

iii. Grant Replacement Bonus: Osowick will not be eligible to receive grants of equity-based or other long-term incentive awards from Public Filtration at any time or in any employment term or status. In lieu of such grants, to the extent Osowick continues in employment with Public Filtration, Public Filtration in its sole discretion will determine an assumed target value of grants Osowick may have received in 2023 had he been eligible, pro-rated for any partial year of service or expected retirement date, and will pay an equivalent amount in cash (the “Replacement Bonus”). Filtration will pay Osowick the Replacement Bonus as a one-time, lump sum cash amount, less applicable taxes and withholdings, when the final amount of the Replacement Bonus is determined (but in no event later than 2 ½ months following the end of 2023).

4. Additional Public Filtration Bonuses. In consideration for Osowick changing retirement plans as previously mentioned, in addition to compensation and benefits previously referenced in this Agreement, Public Filtration shall pay Osowick two separate bonuses listed and described in Sections 4(a) and 4(b).

a. Additional Grant Replacement Bonus. Public Filtration shall pay Xxxxxxx a lump sum cash bonus to account for the difference, as determined by Public Filtration in its sole discretion, between the value of compensation Xxxxxxx is expected to realize from his performance shares and performance cash awards related to Cummins’ 2020 – 2022, 2021 – 2023, and 2022 – 2024 grant cycles and the value he would have been expected to realize from such grants had he retired from Cummins as originally planned in June 2023 (the “Grant Cycle Replacement Bonus”). Public Filtration shall determine in its sole discretion the amount of the Grant Cycle Replacement Bonus and pay it, less applicable taxes and withholdings, to Osowick promptly following the determination of his expected date of termination as a regular Public Filtration employee (but in no event later than 2 ½ months following the end of 2023).

b. Additional Replacement Bonus. In addition to the bonus referenced in Section 4(a), Public Filtration shall pay Osowick a lump sum cash bonus to account for (1) the difference in the present value of SERP annuity payments Osowick would have received had he retired from Cummins in June 2023 as originally planned compared to the present value of SERP annuity payments Osowick will receive upon his separation from service (the “SERP Annuity Replacement Bonus”), (2) the pro rata portion of a target grant level for 2023 of $275,000 and any launch grant, assuming a separation from service in 2023 (the “2023 Pro Rata LTI Grant Bonus”). Public Filtration shall determine in its sole discretion the amounts of the SERP Annuity Replacement Bonus and the 2023 Pro Rata LTI Grant Bonus and pay such amounts, less applicable taxes and withholdings, to Osowick promptly following his separation from service from Public Filtration; provided that, if Xxxxxxx’x employment is terminated for cause, as determined by Public Filtration in its sole discretion, he shall not be entitled to receive any SERP Annuity Replacement Bonus or any 2023 Pro Rata LTI Grant Bonus.

Cummins or Public Filtration in their sole discretion may require Xxxxxxx to execute additional releases containing the same or similarly scoped waivers of liability and other terms (the “Subsequent Releases”) along with and as condition precedents to their payment of bonuses and other compensation and benefits under this Agreement concerning which Xxxxxxx is not otherwise entitled by applicable law, policies, plans, agreements, or practices as of the date on which this Agreement is executed. The Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to limit the Release or Subsequent Releases in any manner. The existence of a dispute respecting the interpretation or alleged breach of this Agreement shall not nullify or otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of the Release or Subsequent Releases.

6. Continuing Obligations. Xxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that he shall continue to have obligations to Cummins, Filtration, and Public Filtration under any agreements he has entered into or will enter into regarding, among other covered topics, confidentiality, inventions, non-competition, and non-solicitation in addition to obligations under statutory and common law.

7. Confidentiality. The terms of this Agreement are confidential, provided that Cummins or Public Filtration may disclose such terms and this Agreement to the extent required for compliance with applicable SEC regulations or other legal requirements. Xxxxxxx shall not disclose or discuss its terms with any third party except his attorney and tax advisor without express consent of Cummins or Public Filtration unless required by law. Xxxxxxx shall instruct all third parties to keep information disclosed confidential.

8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Release, and Subsequent Releases supersede all prior oral and written agreements, representations, and promises between Osowick, Cummins and Filtration except that any Confidentiality Agreements or any other post-employment obligations Osowick has to Cummins or Filtration shall continue in full force and effect according to their terms so long as they are not inconsistent with this Agreement, in which event relevant portions of this Agreement supersede conflicting provisions.

9. Assignment. The rights and obligations of Cummins and Filtration under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon their respective agents, employees, successors, assigns, heirs, attorneys, trustees, estates and representatives.

11. Jurisdiction and Venue.
