or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the relevant expense is incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not
affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year.

mutually agree to a different arrangement, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive in accordance with Company policy for the reasonable expenses he incurs in connection with his relocation to the Cincinnati, Ohio area, which relocation

Executive may incur in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, because the Executive is or was an officer of the Company (or is or
was serving, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other entity), and against which the Executive may be indemnified by the Company, and (B) upon submission
of appropriate documentation, pay for or reimburse in advance the reasonable expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Executive in the defense of any proceeding to which the Executive is a party because the Executive is or was an officer of the
Company (or is or was serving, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other entity). The rights of the Executive hereunder and under the Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws of the Company and under the laws of the State of Delaware shall survive the termination of the employment of the Executive by the Company. Unless specifically so provided therein, no amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or
of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of the Executive under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by the Executive prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the laws of the
State of Delaware, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the laws of the State of Delaware, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Executive shall enjoy by this
Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy (including under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company), and every other right or
remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise (including under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company).

 (k) Board Fee. The Executive will not receive a fee or any other cash compensation as a
result of his service on the Board during the Term, however, the stock options previously granted to the Executive in consideration of his service to the Board will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such stock options. In the event
that the Executive’s service with the Company is terminated under this Agreement and he remains on the Board, he shall again be eligible for such fees and other compensation as are applicable to Board members at that time. 

5. Termination of Employment. 

(a) Termination for Cause; Resignation Without Good Reason. If, prior to the expiration of the Term, the Executive incurs a
“Separation from Service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), by reason of the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause, or
if the Executive resigns from his employment hereunder other than for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled only to payment of any unpaid Base Salary through and including the date of termination or resignation, any Annual Bonus earned, but

reason of the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment without Cause, or if the Executive resigns from his employment hereunder for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the following: 

(A) an amount equal to 18 months’ Base Salary, payable in equal installments over a period of 18 months;

spouse or eligible dependents as of the termination date, for such individuals; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to pay such premiums shall cease immediately upon the earlier of the expiration of the statutory
COBRA period and the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under any other group health plan (as an employee or otherwise) as defined for purposes of COBRA or Medicare;

date of termination occurs; and 
 (D) any Other Accrued Compensation and Benefits. 

(ii) The payments and benefits provided under Sections 5(b)(i)(A) and 5(b)(i)(B) shall commence on the first payroll date
following the 60th day after the Executive’s termination of employment. The Company shall not be required to make the payments and provide the benefits provided for under Sections 5(b)(i)(A) through 5(b)(i)(C) unless the Executive executes and
delivers to the Company, within 60 days following the Executive’s termination of employment, a release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the release has become effective and irrevocable in its entirety in such 60-day
period. The Executive’s failure or refusal to sign the release (or the Executive’s revocation of such release in accordance with applicable laws) will result in the forfeiture of the payments and benefits under Sections 5(b)(i)(A) through
5(b)(i)(C). 
 (iii) If, following a termination of employment without Cause or a resignation for Good Reason, the Executive
breaches the provisions of Sections 6 through 13 hereof or breaches any provision set forth in the executed copy of the General Release of Claims, the Executive shall not be eligible, as of the date of such breach, for the payments and benefits
described in Section 5(b)(A)-(C), and any and all obligations and agreements of the Company with respect to such payments shall thereupon cease. 

(c) Termination Due to Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate automatically on the
Executive’s death. In the event of the Executive’s Disability (as defined herein), the Company shall be entitled to terminate his employment. In the event of the Executive’s death or if the Executive incurs a “Separation from
Service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the Executive’s Disability, the Company shall pay to the Executive (or his estate, as applicable), the Executive’s Base Salary through and including the date of
termination and any Other Accrued Compensation and Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means a physical or mental disability or infirmity of the Executive that prevents the normal performance of substantially all
his duties for a period in excess of 90 consecutive days or for more than 180 days in any consecutive 12-month period. Evidence of such physical or mental disability or infirmity shall be certified by a physician licensed to practice in the state of
residence of the Executive, which physician is mutually agreeable to the CEO and the Executive. If there is no agreement on the selection of the physician, then the CEO shall select one physician and the Executive shall select one physician, and the
two physicians shall attempt to mutually agree upon such physical or mental disability or infirmity. If the two physicians cannot agree, then the two physicians shall jointly select a third physician, whose opinion on such physical or mental
disability or infirmity shall control. 
 (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination of employment by the Company or the Executive
shall be communicated by a written “Notice of Termination” to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 27 of this Agreement. In the event of a termination by 

  
 7 








 
the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Notice of Termination shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) set forth
in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the date of termination, which date shall not be more than 30 days
after the giving of such notice, provided that the date of termination will not occur before the expiration of any applicable cure period. The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance
which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing
the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder. 
 (e) Resignation from Directorships and Officerships. The termination
of the Executive’s employment for any reason shall constitute the Executive’s resignation from (i) any director, officer or employee position the Executive has with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (ii) all fiduciary
positions the Executive holds with respect to any employee benefit plans or trusts established by the Company; provided, that in the event the Executive’s employment is terminated following the Executive’s successful completion of the
Executive’s role, as reasonably determined by the Board in its sole discretion, then he will not be required to resign as a member of the Board unless otherwise determined by the Company. The Executive agrees that this Agreement shall serve as
written notice of resignation in this circumstance. 
 (f) Section 280G “Parachute Payments”. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive becomes entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the nature of compensation, whether alone or together with other payments or benefits that
the Executive receives or realizes or is then entitled to receive or realize from the Company or any of its affiliates or any other person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control of the Company, and such payments and/or
benefits would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, such payments and/or benefits will be reduced (the “280G Reduction”) to the extent necessary so that no portion of the
Executive’s payments or benefits will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such
interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 280G Reduction will be made if and only if all “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Code
Section 280G and associated regulations) do not exceed 110% of the maximum amount (the “280G Limit”) of payments and benefits that could be payable to the Executive so that no portion of Executive’s payments or benefits
will be subject to the Excise Tax. Any 280G Reduction pursuant to this paragraph shall be effectuated by reducing the payments and benefits hereunder in the following order: (A) any severance payments due pursuant to Section 5, with later
payments being reduced first, (B) the waiver of accelerated vesting of equity awards, with awards having a later vesting date being reduced first, (C) the benefit continuation pursuant to Section 5 and (D) all other payments or
benefits, with later payments being reduced first. 
 (g) No Further Rights. Except as explicitly provided in this Section 5, the
Executive shall have no rights under this Agreement to receive any compensation or benefits after termination or resignation of employment.

(b) either (i) relate to the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services, or (ii) are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or
made using any equipment, supplies, facilities, assets or resources of the Company or any of its subsidiaries’ (including but not limited to, any intellectual property rights) (“Work Product”). The Executive shall promptly
disclose such Work Product to the Company and, at the Company’s expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Company (whether during or after the period of employment) to establish and confirm the Company’s ownership thereof
(including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, applications and other instruments). 
 14. Covenants
Reasonable. The Executive acknowledges and agrees with the Company that: 
 (a) the covenants in this Agreement are reasonable in the
circumstances and are necessary to protect the Company; 

  
 12 








 (b) the Executive is being provided with the opportunity to receive a substantial financial
benefit as a result of this Agreement; 
 (c) the covenants of the Executive contained in this Agreement were a material inducement for the
Company to enter into this Agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement; and 

(d) the breach by such Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement would cause serious and irreparable harm to the Company which could
not adequately be compensated for in damages. 
 15. Certain Remedies. 

(a) Forfeiture/Payment Obligations. In the event the Executive fails to comply with Sections 6 through 13, other than any isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent failure, the Executive agrees that he will forfeit any amounts not already paid pursuant to Section 5(b)(A)-(C) of this Agreement. 

(b) Injunctive Relief. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company Group, including, but not limited to, that set
forth in Section 15(a) hereof, the Executive agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 6 through 13 of this Agreement may result in material and irreparable injury to the Company Group for which there is no adequate
remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, any member of the Company Group shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order or a
preliminary or permanent injunction, or both, without bond or other security, restraining the Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by the covenants contained in Sections 6 through 13 of this Agreement or such other relief as may be
required specifically to enforce any of the covenants contained in this Agreement. Such injunctive relief in any court shall be available to the Company Group in lieu of, or prior to or pending determination in, any arbitration proceeding. 

16. Defense of Claims. The Executive agrees that, during the Term, and for a period of six years after termination of the
Executive’s employment, upon request from the Company, the Executive will reasonably cooperate with the Company in the defense of any claims or actions that may be made by or against the Company that affect the Executive’s prior areas of
responsibility, except if the Executive’s reasonable interests are adverse to the Company in such claim or action. The Company agrees to promptly pay in advance or reimburse the Executive for, as requested by the Executive, all of the
Executive’s reasonable travel and other direct costs and expenses incurred, or to be reasonably incurred, to comply with the Executive’s obligations under this Section 16, including, but not limited to, legal costs and expenses. 

17. Source of Payments. All payments provided under this Agreement, other than payments made pursuant to a plan which provides
otherwise, shall be paid in cash from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established, and no other segregation of assets shall be made, to assure payment. The Executive shall have no right, title or interest
whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid the Company in meeting its obligations hereunder. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company hereunder, such right shall be no greater
than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 

  
 13 








 18. Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to meet the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed consistent with that intent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the right to any payment (including the provision of benefits) hereunder
provides for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code, if the Executive is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the
Executive’s “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code (the “Separation Date”), then no such payment shall be made or commence during the period beginning on the
Separation Date and ending on the date that is six months following the Separation Date or, if earlier, on the date of the Executive’s death. The amount of any payment that would otherwise be paid to the Executive during this period shall
instead be paid to the Executive on the fifteenth day of the first calendar month following the end of the period. 
 19.
Nonassignability; Binding Agreement. 
 (a) By the Executive. This Agreement and any and all rights, duties, obligations or
interests hereunder shall not be assignable or delegable by the Executive. 
 (b) By the Company. This Agreement and all of the
Company’s rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by the Company except as incident to a reorganization, merger or consolidation, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or the business of the Company. Upon
any such assignment, the Company shall no longer have any rights or obligations under this Agreement. 
 (c) Binding Effect. This
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, any successors to or assigns of the Company and the Executive’s heirs and the personal representatives of the Executive’s estate. 

20. Withholding. Any payments made or benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced by any applicable
withholding taxes or other amounts required to be withheld by law or contract. 
 21. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be
modified, amended or waived in any manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement. 
 22.
Governing Law and Forum. The Executive and the Company agree that this Agreement and all matters or issues arising out of or relating to the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware
applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely therein. Any action to enforce this Agreement shall be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in the City of Cincinnati, Ohio. 

  
 14 








 23. Survival of Certain Provisions. Unless expressly provided otherwise, the rights and
obligations set forth in this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
 24. Entire Agreement; Supersedes
Previous Agreements. This Agreement and the Option Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered herein, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, commitments,
agreements and writings with respect to the subject matter hereof, all such other negotiations, commitments, agreements and writings shall have no further force or effect, and the parties to any such other negotiation, commitment, agreement or
writing shall have no further rights or obligations thereunder. 
 25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by either of the
parties hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 

26. Headings. The headings of sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or
interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 Exhibit A 

GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS 

This General Release of all Claims (this “Agreement”) is entered into by John Gallagher (the “Executive”)
and Milacron Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), effective as of             , in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company as
of            . 
 In consideration of the promises set forth in the Employment
Agreement between the Executive and the Company, dated April             , 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”), the Executive and the Company agree as follows: 

1. Return of Property. All Company files, access keys and codes, desk keys, ID badges, computers, records, manuals, electronic devices,
computer programs, papers, electronically stored information or documents, telephones and credit cards, and any other property of the Company in the Executive’s possession must be returned no later than the date of the Executive’s
termination from the Company; provided, that, the Executive may keep one copy of such items as he may reasonably expect to use to protect his rights under this Agreement. 

2. General Release and Waiver of Claims. 

(a) Release. In consideration of the payments and benefits provided to the Executive under the Employment Agreement and after
consultation with counsel, the Executive and each of the Executive’s respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, agents, insurers, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasors”) hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally release and forever discharge the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective officers, employees, directors, shareholders and agents (“Releasees”) from any and all claims, actions, causes
of action, rights, judgments, obligations, damages, demands, accountings or liabilities of whatever kind or character (collectively, “Claims”), including, without limitation, any Claims under any federal, state, local or foreign
law, that the Releasors may have, or in the future may possess, arising out of (i) the Executive’s employment relationship with and service as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any subsidiaries or affiliated companies and
the termination of such relationship or service, and (ii) any event, condition, circumstance or obligation that occurred, existed or arose on or prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that the Executive does not release, discharge or
waive any rights to (A) payments and benefits provided under the Employment Agreement, whether or not contingent upon the execution by the Executive of this Agreement (B) any indemnification rights the Executive may have under the
Employment Agreement, in accordance with the Company’s governance instruments or under any director and officer liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to liabilities arising as a result of the Executive’s service as an
officer and employee of the Company and (C) any rights that that the Executive may have as an equityholder of the Company. This Section 2(a) does not apply to any Claims that the Releasors may have as of the date the Executive signs
this Agreement arising under the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“ADEA”). Claims arising under ADEA are addressed in
Section 2(b) of this Agreement. 

  
 1 








 (b) Specific Release of ADEA Claims. In further consideration of the payments and benefits
provided to the Executive under the Employment Agreement, the Releasors hereby unconditionally release and forever discharge the Releasees from any and all Claims arising under ADEA that the Releasors may have as of the date the Executive signs this
Agreement. By signing this Agreement, the Executive hereby acknowledges and confirms the following: (i) the Executive was advised by the Company in connection with his termination to consult with an attorney of his choice prior to signing this
Agreement and to have such attorney explain to the Executive the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the Executive’s release of claims arising under ADEA, and the Executive has in fact consulted with an
attorney; (ii) the Executive was given a period of not fewer than 21 days to consider the terms of this Agreement and to consult with an attorney of his choosing with respect thereto; (iii) the Executive knowingly and voluntarily accepts
the terms of this Agreement; and (iv) the Executive is providing this release and discharge only in exchange for consideration in addition to anything of value to which the Executive is already entitled. The Executive also understands that he
has seven days following the date on which he signs this Agreement within which to revoke the release contained in this paragraph, by providing the Company with a written notice of his revocation of the release and waiver contained in this
paragraph. 
 (c) No Assignment. The Executive represents and warrants that he has not assigned any of the Claims being released under
this Agreement. The Company may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any affiliated company or subsidiary of, or any successor in interest to the Company. 

3. Proceedings. 
 (a)
General Agreement Relating to Proceedings. The Executive has not filed, and except as provided in Sections 3(b) and 3(c), the Executive agrees not to initiate or cause to be initiated on his behalf, any complaint, charge, claim or
proceeding against the Releasees before any local, state or federal agency, court or other body relating to his employment or the termination of his employment, other than with respect to the obligations of the Company to the Executive under the
Employment Agreement (each, individually, a “Proceeding”), and agrees not to participate voluntarily in any Proceeding. The Executive waives any right he may have to benefit in any manner from any relief (whether monetary or
otherwise) arising out of any Proceeding. 
 (b) Proceedings Under ADEA. Section 3(a) shall not preclude the Executive
from filing any complaint, charge, claim or proceeding challenging the validity of the Executive’s waiver of Claims arising under ADEA (which is set forth in Section 2(b) of this Agreement). However, both the Executive and the Company
confirm their belief that the Executive’s waiver of claims under ADEA is valid and enforceable, and that their intention is that all claims under ADEA will be waived. 

(c) Certain Administrative Proceedings. In addition, Section 3(a) shall not preclude the Executive from filing a charge with
or participating in any administrative investigation or proceeding by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or another Fair Employment Practices agency. The Executive is, however, waiving his right to recover money in connection with any such
charge or investigation. The Executive is also waiving his right to recover money in connection with a charge filed by any other entity or individual, or by any federal, state or local agency. 

  
 2 








 4. Remedies. In the event the Executive initiates or voluntarily participates in any
Proceeding in violation of this Agreement, or if he fails to abide by any of the terms of this Agreement or his post-termination obligations contained in the Employment Agreement, or if he revokes the ADEA release contained in paragraph 2(b) within
the seven-day period provided under paragraph 2(b), the Company may, in addition to any other remedies it may have and to the extent permitted by applicable law, reclaim any amounts paid to him under the termination provisions of the Employment
Agreement or terminate any benefits or payments that are subsequently due under the Employment Agreement, without waiving the release granted herein. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law available to the Company for breach of
any of his post-termination obligations under the Employment Agreement or his obligations under paragraphs 2 and 3 herein would be inadequate and that damages flowing from such a breach may not readily be susceptible to measurement in monetary
terms. Accordingly, the Executive acknowledges, consents and agrees that, in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have at law or in equity or as may otherwise be set forth in the Employment Agreement, the Company shall be
entitled to seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction, or both, without bond or other security, restraining the Executive from breaching his post-termination obligations under the Employment Agreement or his
obligations under paragraphs 2 and 3 herein. Such injunctive relief in any court shall be available to the Company, in lieu of, or prior to or pending determination in, any arbitration proceeding. 

The Executive understands that by entering into this Agreement he shall be limiting the availability of certain remedies that he may have
against the Company and limiting also his ability to pursue certain claims against the Company. 
 5. Severability Clause. In the
event that any provision or part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, only that particular provision or part so found, and not the entire Agreement, shall be inoperative. 

6. Nonadmission. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part
of the Company or the Executive. 
 7. Governing Law and Forum. The Executive and the Company agree that this Agreement and all
matters or issues arising out of or relating to the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely therein. Any action to enforce this
Agreement shall be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in the City of Cincinnati, Ohio.

 5. Exercise Procedures. 

a. Notice of Exercise. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Vested Portion may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its
principal office written notice of intent to so exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (such notice, a “Notice of Exercise”). Such Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate
Option Price for the Shares to be exercised. In the event that the Option is being exercised by the Participant’s representative, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Committee) of the representative’s
right to exercise the Option. The aggregate Option Price for the Shares to be exercised may be paid (i) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by cashier’s check); (ii) prior to an IPO, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, (A) in Shares (whether or not previously owned by the Participant) having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased; (B) partly in cash and partly in such Shares (as described in
(A) above); or (C) by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option by the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased; or
(iii) following an IPO or in connection with a Change of Control transaction, pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) of clause (ii) of this Section 5(a), at the election of the Participant, or through the delivery of
irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased. In the
event of the Participant’s death, the Vested Portion shall be exercisable by the trustee of any family trust or estate planning entity to which the Option has been transferred, by the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate,
or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Award Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be. Any heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted
subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan. 
 b. Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, neither the Participant nor the Participant’s representative shall have any rights to dividends, voting rights or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to the Option until (i) the Participant has
delivered to the Company a Notice of Exercise for the Option, (ii) the Participant has paid the Option Price for such Shares, (iii) such Shares have been issued, (iv) the Participant has executed a joinder to or has otherwise become a
party to the Stockholders’ Agreement and (v) the Participant has executed such other agreements or certificates that the Committee reasonably determines are necessary to comply with applicable securities laws and other applicable laws.

 6. No Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Option shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Subsidiary to
continue the employment of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Participant. 

7. Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any payment or Shares
deliverable under this Award Agreement, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld


  
 4 








 
with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Award Agreement. The Participant may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the
