The Board of Directors of the Company, and the Administrator of the Plan appointed by the Board of Directors, has determined that the interests of the Company will be advanced by encouraging and enabling certain of its employees to own shares of the common stock of the Company, and that Employee is one of those employees;

Q. “Vesting Period” means the three consecutive calendar year period set forth in the Award Agreement.

Section 2. Award

Subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Company awarded to Employee the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units set forth on the Award Agreement applicable to those Units, effective as of the Date of Grant set forth on such instrument.

A Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Award entitles the Employee to receive a whole number of shares of Stock equal to a percentage, from zero to two hundred percent, based on the Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations during the Performance Period, of the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that are subject to the Award, as described in this Section.

The number of shares of Stock determined under this Section 2 based on the Company’s Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (including deemed Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations in the event of either a Change in Control or a qualifying employment termination on a Divestiture Date that occurs during the Performance Period) are referred to in this Award Agreement as earned Shares. The Employee shall only be eligible to receive a distribution of earned Shares after they have become vested under either Section 4 or Section 4.1 of this Award Agreement. The date on which earned and vested Shares are distributable is set forth in Section 5 of this Award Agreement.

If the Company’s Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations is less than the Earnings Per Share Threshold, the Employee shall be entitled to receive no shares of Stock with respect to the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award. If the Company’s Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations is equal to the Earnings Per Share Threshold, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares of Stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award. If the Company’s Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations is equal to the Earnings Per Share Target, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares of Stock equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award. If the Company’s Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations is equal to or greater than the Earnings Per Share Maximum, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares of Stock equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award.

If the Company’s Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations is an amount between the Earnings Per Share Target and, as applicable, the Earnings Per Share Threshold or the Earnings Per Share Maximum, the Employee will receive a percentage of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award determined through straight line interpolation to Earnings Per Share Target. For example, if the Company’s Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations is $0.75, the Earnings Per Share Target is $1.00 and the Earnings Per Share Threshold is $.50, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares of Stock equal to 75% of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award.

This grant of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units shall not confer any right to the Employee (or any other Employee) to be granted Performance Based Restricted Stock Units or other awards in the future under the Plan.

Section 3. Bookkeeping Account

The Company shall record the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder to a bookkeeping account for Employee (the “Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account”). Employee’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account shall be reduced by the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units, if any, forfeited in accordance with Section 4 and by the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units with respect to which shares of Stock were transferred to Employee in accordance with Section 5.

Section 4. Vesting

Subject to the accelerated vesting provisions provided below, earned Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall vest on the last day of the Vesting Period, if Employee remains employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries through such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company fails to achieve at least the Earnings Per Share Threshold, an Employee shall be entitled to receive no shares of Stock with respect to the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award (as described in Section 2), unless the deemed Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations provisions in this Section specifically modify such result.

If, during the Performance Period, while employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries:

A. The Employee dies or experiences a Permanent Disability, the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be vested, pro rata (based on the number of full and partial months of the Employee’s employment during the Performance Period divided by twelve), based on Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations during the Performance Period; or

B. A Change in Control occurs, the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be vested, pro rata (based on the number of full and partial months during the Performance Period before the date of the Change in Control, divided by twelve), and the Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations shall be deemed to be 100% of the Earnings Per Share Target, regardless of actual performance.

If, after the Performance Period but during the Vesting Period, while employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries:

A. The Employee dies or experiences a Permanent Disability, earned Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be immediately fully vested, based on Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations during the Performance Period; or

B. A Change in Control occurs, earned Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be immediately fully vested, based on Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations during the Performance Period.

Except as provided in Section 4.1 below, in the event of the termination of employment of Employee with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any other reason before the end of the Vesting Period, all Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that are not vested at the time of such termination of employment (after first taking into account the accelerated vesting provisions of this Section 4) shall be forfeited.

Section 4.1 Acceleration of Vesting of Shares in the Event of Divestiture of Business Segment

In the event that the “Business Segment” (as that term is defined in this Section below) in which the Employee is primarily employed as of the “Divestiture Date” (as that term is defined in this Section below) is the subject of a “Divestiture of a Business Segment” (as that term is defined in this Section below), and such divestiture results in the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be vested: (A) in the case of a Divestiture of a Business Segment during the Performance Period, pro rata, based on the number of full and partial months of Employee’s employment during the Performance Period before the Divestiture Date, divided by twelve; or (B) in the case of a Divestiture of a Business Segment after the Performance Period but during the Vesting Period, fully. If the Divestiture Date occurs during the Performance Period, the Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations shall be deemed to be 100% of the Earnings Per Share Target, regardless of actual performance. If the Divestiture Date occurs after the Performance Period but during the Vesting Period, the Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations during the Performance Period shall control.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the term “Business Segment” shall mean a business line which the Company treats as a separate business segment under the segment reporting rules under GAAP, which currently includes the following: Safety and Security Group, Fire Rescue, and Environmental Solutions Group. Likewise, the term “Divestiture Date” shall mean the date that a transaction constituting a Divestiture of a Business Segment is finally consummated.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the term “Divestiture of a Business Segment” means the following:

(a) When used with a reference to the sale of stock or other securities of a Business Segment that is or becomes a separate corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other separate business entity, the sale, exchange, transfer, distribution or other disposition of the ownership, either beneficially or of record or both, by the Company

or one of its Subsidiaries to “Nonaffiliated Persons” (as that term is defined in this Section below) of 100% of either (i) the then-outstanding common stock (or the equivalent equity interests) of the Business Segment or (ii) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Business Segment entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors or the equivalent governing body of the Business Segment;

(b) When used with reference to the merger or consolidation of a Business Segment that is or becomes a separate corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other separate business entity, any such transaction that results in Nonaffiliated Persons owning, either beneficially or of record or both, 100% of either (i) the then-outstanding common stock (or the equivalent equity interests) of the Business Segment or (ii) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Business Segment entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors or the equivalent governing body of the Business Segment; or

(c) When used with reference to the sale of the assets of the Business Segment, the sale, exchange, transfer, liquidation, distribution or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Business Segment necessary or required to operate the Business Segment in the manner that the Business Segment had been operated prior to the Divestiture Date.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the term “Nonaffiliated Persons” shall mean any persons or business entities which do not control, or which are not controlled by or under common control with, the Company.

Section 5. Distribution of Shares

(a) Except as specifically provided to the contrary in Section 5(b), the number of earned shares of Stock with respect to Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Award shall become distributable as of the end of the Vesting Period.

(b) Earned shares that vest prior to the end of the Vesting Period under Sections 4 or 4.1 of this Award Agreement shall become distributable on an accelerated basis as follows:

(1) If a Change in Control occurs at any time before the end of the Vesting Period, then the number of earned shares of Stock with respect to Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Award Agreement shall become distributable on the date of the Change in Control.

(2) If a Divestiture of a Business Segment occurs at any time before the end of the Vesting Period, and such divestiture results in the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, then the number of earned shares of Stock with respect to Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Award Agreement shall become distributable on the Divestiture Date.

(3) If an Employee dies or experiences a Permanent Disability before the end of the Vesting Period, then the number of earned shares of Stock, determined as of the end of the Performance Period based on actual performance, with respect to Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Award Agreement, shall become distributable on the date of such death or Permanent Disability, as applicable, but in no event earlier than the end of the Performance Period.

(c) Actual distribution of shares of Stock with respect to earned and vested Performance Based Restricted Stock Units will occur as soon as administratively feasible, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after such shares become distributable as described in this Section 5.

Section 6. Stockholder Rights

Employee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to Performance Based Restricted Stock Units, such as the right to vote or the right to dividends.

Section 7. Beneficiary Designation

Employee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (contingently, consecutively, or successively) to receive any benefits that may be payable under this Award Agreement in the event of Employee’s death and, from time to time, may change his or her designated beneficiary (“a Beneficiary”). A Beneficiary may be a trust. A Beneficiary designation shall be made in writing in a form prescribed by the Company and delivered to the Company while the Participant is alive. If there is no designated Beneficiary surviving at the death of a Participant, payment of any death benefit of the Participant shall be made to the persons and in the proportions which any death benefit under the Federal Signal Corporation Employees’ Retirement Savings Plan is or would be payable.

Section 8. Units Non-Transferable

Performance Based Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall not be transferable by Employee. Except as may be required by the federal income tax withholding provisions of the Code or by the tax laws of any State, the interests of Employee and his or her Beneficiaries under this Award Agreement are not subject to the claims of their creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, alienated, assigned, pledged, anticipated, or encumbered. Any attempt by Employee or a Beneficiary to sell, transfer, alienate, assign, pledge, anticipate, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder shall be void.

Section 9. Adjustment in Certain Events

If there is any change in the Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, combinations or exchanges of shares or the like, the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units credited to Employee’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account shall be adjusted appropriately so that the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units credited to Employee’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account after such an event shall equal the number of shares of Stock a stockholder would own after such an event if the stockholder, at the time such an event occurred, had owned shares of Stock equal to the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units credited to Employee’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account immediately before such an event.

Section 10. Tax Withholding

The Company shall not be obligated to transfer any shares of Stock until Employee pays to the Company or a Subsidiary in cash, or any other form of property, including Stock, acceptable to the Company, the amount required to be withheld from the wages of Employee with respect to such shares. Employee may elect to have such withholding satisfied by a reduction of the number of shares of Stock otherwise transferable under this Award Agreement at such time, such reduction to be calculated based on the closing market price of the Stock on the day Employee gives written notice of such election to the Company.

Section 11. Section 409A

This Award Agreement shall be construed consistent with the intention that it be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement, if at any time the Administrator of the Plan determines that this Award (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator of the Plan shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Employee or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan or this Award Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator of the Plan determines are necessary or appropriate either for this Award to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

Section 12. Source of Payment

Shares of Stock transferable to Employee, or his or her Beneficiary, under this Award Agreement may be either Treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or any combination of such stock. The Company shall have no duties to segregate or set aside any assets to secure Employee’s right to receive shares of Stock under this Award Agreement. Employee shall not have any rights with respect to transfer of shares of Stock under this Award Agreement other than the unsecured right to receive shares of Stock from the Company.

Section 13. Continuation of Employment

This Award Agreement shall not confer upon the Employee any right to continuation of employment by the Company or its Subsidiaries, nor shall this Award Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ right to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time.

Section 14. Amendment

This Award Agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the parties hereto by written agreement.

Section 15. Governing Law

This Award Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to principles of conflict of law.
