Fourth Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Martin E. Franklin



 Exhibit 10.1 
 FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 FOURTH AMENDED AND
RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 5, 2011, by and between Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Martin E. Franklin (“Executive”). 

WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive are parties to a Third Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2007, as amended by the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2009 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the
Company desires to continue to employ Executive as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive is willing to continue to be employed as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on such terms and conditions; and 

WHEREAS, the members of the Compensation Committee have considered potential future compensation for senior executives and retained
independent consultants to assist with this review; whereupon, based on the results of its review, the Compensation Committee thereafter concluded that it would recommend that the Board adopt the employment and compensation arrangements in this
Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s Board of
Directors, at meetings duly called and held, have each authorized and approved the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into this Agreement which shall amend, restate and replace the Employment Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows: 

1. Employment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby continues to employ Executive as
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company through December 31, 2012, and Executive hereby agrees to such employment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood and agreed that the Executive from time to time may (a) be appointed to additional offices or to different offices than those set forth above, (b) perform such duties other than those set forth above, and/or (c) relinquish
one or more of such offices or other duties, in each instance 







 
as may be mutually agreed to by and between the Company and the Executive and that no such action shall be deemed or construed to otherwise amend or modify any of the remaining terms or
conditions of this Agreement. The period during which Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to as the “Employment Period.” 
 2. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1 above, serve as Chairman and, unless the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) and Executive shall jointly determine otherwise, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall be nominated for election, and if so elected shall continue to serve, as a member of the Board and, unless the Board and Executive
shall jointly determine otherwise, Chairman of the Board. During the Employment Period, Executive shall have the duties, responsibilities and obligations (a) as are customarily assigned to individuals serving as the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of comparable companies and (b) as have been assigned, exercised or assumed in accordance with past practice, together with such other duties, responsibilities and obligations consistent with such positions as the Board shall from time
to time specify, provided that such additional duties, responsibilities and obligations are fair and reasonable under the circumstances, do not unreasonably increase the demands upon the Executive’s time or energies, and are not inconsistent
with the Executive’s position(s) with the Company. During the Employment Period, the Executive will be the most senior executive to report to the Board. The Executive shall devote such time and energy to the business and affairs of the Company
as he deems reasonably necessary to perform the duties of these positions and shall use his best efforts, skills and abilities to improve and advance the business and interests of the Company and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Company hereby acknowledges that the Executive has certain responsibilities to the Marlin group of companies, and may have a direct and/or indirect ownership interest in other non-competing companies, and provided that the
Executive otherwise has performed his duties on behalf of the Company hereunder, the Company agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or interfere with such ownership interest or responsibilities. Nothing contained in this
Section 2 shall preclude Executive from (i) serving on the board of directors of any business corporation, unless such service would be contrary to applicable law, (ii) serving on the board of directors of, or working for, any
charitable or community organization or (iii) pursuing his personal financial and legal affairs, so long as such activities, individually or collectively, do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or violate any
of the provisions of Section 6 hereof. 
  

	 	3.	Compensation. 

 (a)
Base Salary. Effective as of the date hereof and continuing through the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive and the Executive shall accept from the Company, as compensation for the performance of services under this
Agreement and the Executive’s observance and performance of all of the provisions hereof, a salary of $2,034,728. The Board (or the appropriate committee of the Board) shall annually review Executive’s base salary and shall be increased by
a minimum of the Consumer Price Index. In addition, the Board (or the appropriate committee of the Board) 

  
 2 








 
shall annually review Executive’s base salary in light of competitive practices, the base salaries paid to other executive officers of the Company and the performance of Executive and the
Company, and may, in its discretion, increase such base salary by any additional amount it determines to be appropriate; provided, however, that any such increase shall not reduce or limit any other obligation of the Company hereunder.
Executive’s base salary (as set forth herein or as may be increased from time to time) shall not be reduced without the consent of the Executive. Executive’s base salary payable hereunder, as it may be increased (or decreased with the
consent of the Executive) from time to time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Company shall pay Executive his Base Salary in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company for its executive officers, but in no event
less frequently than once per month. 
 (b) Annual Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible for a bonus package based on
performance. The decision as to whether to pay the Executive an additional bonus based on operations, as well as the amounts and terms of any such bonus package, shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors as part of
its annual budget review process. In addition to any other bonus(es), whether based on performance, operations or otherwise, that the Compensation Committee may award to Executive pursuant to the Company’s Short-Term Cash Incentive Awards under
the Plan (as defined below) or such other similar plan that the Company may have in place, the Company’s bonus program shall (i) provide that Executive shall have the opportunity to earn 50% of Base Salary in each year of the Employment
Period if the Company achieves the Company’s budgeted earnings per share target as approved by the Board of Directors or, for each year of the Employment Period for which the Company achieves earnings per share equal to the performance target
set by the Compensation Committee for payment of maximum bonus to the Company’s employees generally, 100% of Base Salary, and (ii) provide for the Executive to receive a discretionary bonus of up to 100% of Base Salary (the
“Discretionary Bonus”) for services specifically performed relating to exceptional performance related to other corporate activity undertaken by the Company in any year. Any Discretionary Bonus shall be determined in the sole discretion of
either the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee. 
 (c) Performance Restricted Stock Grants. On the date
hereof and on January 1 of each year after the date hereof ending on, but including, January 1, 2012 (or, if any such date is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day), provided Executive is employed on such date, Executive
shall be entitled to receive the annual grants of shares of restricted stock (the “Restricted Stock”) set forth in the table below, to be issued under the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), or such
other similar stock plan that the Company may have in place, based on the long-term incentive framework for the Company adopted by the Compensation Committee. The restrictions on the awards shall lapse based on achievement of a target appreciation
in the stock price of the common stock of the Company set by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant, but not to exceed a maximum target appreciation percentage according to the following table: 

 

											
	 	 	 Grant
	 	  	  	 Date
	  	 Maximum Target Stock Price

Appreciation (%) over Closing Price on

Last Trading Day of Prior Year
	  	 
	 	 230,000
	 		  	January 2011	  	12%	  
	 	 300,000
	 		  	January 1, 2012	  	12%	  


  
 3 








 The vesting target shall be achieved on the date that the average closing price of the
Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other securities exchange on which the Company’s common stock may then be traded) for any period of five consecutive trading days equals or exceeds a price representing an
increase over the closing price on the last trading day of the prior calendar year at least equal to the target stock price appreciation percentage set by the Compensation Committee (up to the maximum set forth above). In the event that a Change of
Control of the Company (as defined in Section 5(d) hereof) occurs prior to achievement of the vesting targets for each annual grant of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Section 3(c), each of the annual restricted stock awards set forth in
this Section 3(c) shall be immediately granted, notwithstanding whether the scheduled grant date has been achieved, and the restrictions on all such shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately lapse and such shares shall become fully vested.

 In the event that the Company does not have a stock incentive plan in place on or prior to January 1 of each year with
enough shares to be granted to the Executive pursuant to this Section 3(c), the Company shall grant to the Executive such number of shares of Restricted Stock that are available under the Company’s stock incentive plans, and in lieu of any
shares of Restricted Stock not granted (the “Remaining Stock”), Executive shall receive a mutually acceptable compensation package having performance targets and a value equivalent to the value of the shares of Remaining Stock not issued
to the Executive as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors, as the case may be. 
 Upon
satisfaction of the conditions and the lapsing of the restrictions on each grant of Restricted Stock as set forth in this Section 3(c), Executive shall be entitled to (i) satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation (or such greater
withholding amount as the Compensation Committee may approve) by electing to have the Company withhold from the Restricted Stock that number of shares having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the minimum amount required to be
withheld (or such greater withholding amount as the Compensation Committee may approve), determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined, and (ii) thereafter sell only 20% (but not more than 20%) of such
remaining vested shares in any calendar year ending prior to January 1, 2012, provided that Executive shall be entitled to sell all such vested shares at any time on or after January 2012, subject to applicable law, regulation or stock exchange
rule. The foregoing 20% limitation shall lapse upon a Change of Control of the Company. 

  
 4 








 The number of shares granted and the target share price shall be adjusted for changes in the
common stock as outlined in Section 18.4 of the Plan or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the parties. The terms of each grant of Restricted Stock hereunder shall be set forth in a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, substantially
similar to the form used for the 2010 restricted share grant to Executive, which will reflect the terms of this Section 3(c). 
  

	 	4.	Benefits, Perquisites and Expenses. 

 (a) Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate in (i) each welfare benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or currently made available to
the Executive, including, without limitation, each group life, hospitalization, medical, dental, health, accident or disability insurance, cafeteria or similar plan or program of the Company, (ii) each pension, retirement, deferred compensation
or savings plan sponsored or maintained by the Company, and (iii) to the extent of any awards made from time to time by the Board committee administering the plan, each stock option, restricted stock, stock bonus or similar equity-based
compensation plan sponsored or maintained by the Company, in each case, whether now existing or established hereafter, to the extent that Executive is eligible to participate in any such plan under the generally applicable provisions thereof.
Nothing in this Section 4(a) shall limit the Company’s right to amend or terminate any such plan in accordance with the procedures set forth therein. 
 (b) Perquisites. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to four weeks of paid vacation annually, shall be entitled to observe, with pay, all religious holidays historically
observed by Executive and shall also be entitled to receive such perquisites as are generally provided to other senior executive officers of the Company in accordance with the then current policies and practices of the Company. For security
purposes, the Executive shall be required to use at Company expense private aircraft transportation for all travel unless a private aircraft is not reasonably available. If a private aircraft is not reasonably available, he shall be entitled to
first class air travel for business related travel. The Company shall bear expenses for the Executive’s personal use of the private aircraft that does not exceed 75 hours in any calendar year. In addition, during the Employment Period,
Executive shall receive, at the Company’s expense: 
 (i) the assistance of the Company’s tax advisors in regard to
personal tax planning and preparing personal income tax returns; and 
 (ii) a split-dollar life insurance policy, or
equivalent, on the Executive in the amount of $10 million (including the $5 million policy currently in place) payable to such beneficiaries as Executive shall select. 
 (c) Business Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred or paid by Executive in the performance of Executive’s
duties hereunder upon presentation of expense statements 

  
 5 








 
or vouchers and such other information as the Company may require and in accordance with the generally applicable policies and procedures of the Company. In addition, the Company shall provide
the Executive with a non-accountable supplemental benefit expense up to 5% of Executive’s Base Salary per year, to be used against any expenses incurred by Executive that may be un-reimbursed pursuant to the sentence above or otherwise.

 (d) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless from and against any claim,
loss or cause of action arising from or out of Executive’s performance as an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or in any other capacity during the Employment Period including, but not limited to, any
fiduciary capacity in which Executive serves at the request of the Company, in each instance to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, each as existing on
the date hereof and as amended by amendments favorable to Executive. 
 (e) D & O Insurance. The Company agrees that
for six (6) years and one (1) business day after the expiration or earlier termination of the Employment Period the Company shall obtain and provide at its expense directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or directors’
and officers’ liability tail insurance policies covering the Executive with respect to acts or omissions occurring during Executive’s employment with the Company with coverage and amounts (including with respect to the payment of
attorney’s fees) equal to or greater than those of the Company’s policy in effect on the date hereof. 
 (f)
Non-exclusivity of Rights. The rights of the Executive under Sections 4(d) and 4(e) shall be in addition to any rights he may have under the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, any agreement providing for indemnification, or
under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other applicable laws. 
 (g) Medical Expense Allowance. If for any reason
Executive shall not be covered by a health insurance policy of the Company, Executive shall be entitled to an annual medical, dental, vision care and other health care allowance of up to $30,000 for unreimbursed medical, dental, vision care and
other health care expenses incurred by Executive or any of his immediate family members submitted in accordance with expense procedures.

(b) on the date of such Change of Control, and (ii) if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), at the time of his
termination of employment, then (1) on the earlier to occur of (x) five (5) days after the effective date of Executive’s termination and (y) on the date of such Change of Control, Executive shall be paid Severance Benefits
in an amount equal to no more than two times the lesser of (A) the sum of the Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay for services provided to the Company for the year preceding the year in which the
Executive’s employment terminates (adjusted for any increase that was expected to continue indefinitely if the Executive’s employment had not terminated) or (B) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan
pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the Executive’s employment terminates, and (2) any remaining Severance Benefits shall be paid six (6) months and one (1) day following his termination of
employment. 
 (d) Definitions. For purposes of Sections 5 and 6, capitalized terms have the following meanings:

 “Additional Termination Benefits” means, the benefits described below: 

(i) (A) All of the Executive’s benefits accrued under the employee option, pension, retirement, savings and deferred
compensation plans of the Company shall become vested in full (other than with respect to unvested stock options, restricted stock and other equity or equity-based awards, the terms of which are separately addressed in the next succeeding clause);
provided, however, that to the extent such accelerated vesting of benefits cannot be provided under one or more of such plans consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, such benefits shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum within 10
days after termination of employment outside the applicable plan; and (B) (x) except in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment due to Executive’s death or Disability, each of the annual restricted stock awards set
forth in Section 3(c) hereof shall be granted, notwithstanding whether the scheduled grant date has been achieved, and (y) any and all unvested stock options, restricted stock and other equity or equity-based awards shall immediately vest
as of the end of the Employment Period; provided, however, that if Executive is terminated without Cause or if there is a Non-Renewal or a Termination for Good Reason, the preceding subclauses (x) and (y) above shall not apply, except that
all unvested stock options shall immediately vest as of the end of the Employment Period; and 

  
 8 








 (ii) Executive (and his dependents, if any) will be entitled to continue participation in
all of the Company’s medical, dental and vision care plans (the “Health Benefit Plans”), for the period for which the Executive could elect COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s Health Benefit Plans as a result of his
termination of employment; provided that Executive’s participation in the Company’s Health Benefit Plans shall cease on any earlier date that Executive (and his dependents, if any) becomes eligible for comparable benefits from a subsequent
employer. Executive’s participation in the Health Benefit Plans will be on the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, any contributions that would have been required from Executive) that would have applied had Executive
continued to be employed by the Company. To the extent any such benefits cannot be provided under the terms of the applicable plan, policy or program, the Company shall provide a comparable benefit under another plan or from the Company’s
general assets. In addition, except in the case of termination due to death, Executive will be entitled to receive a cash payment in a lump sum within 10 days after termination of employment, or, if, on the date of such termination of employment,
the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, on the day after the expiration of six (6) months following such termination of employment. The amount of such payment shall be the
actuarially determined value of the cost of coverage under the Company’s medical, dental and vision care plans for a period equal to the difference between 36 months and the period for which the Executive could elect COBRA
continuation coverage under such plans; and 
 (iii) Executive will be entitled to continued personal use of the Company owned
or leased aircraft, not to exceed 75 hours in any calendar year (such hour usage to be determined regardless of the number of passengers in the aircraft during such usage), at the Company’s sole cost and expense until the third anniversary of
Executive’s termination of employment; provided, that, at Executive’s option, in lieu of the foregoing use of the aircraft, Executive will be entitled to purchase any Company-owned aircraft from the Company within 75 days of
Executive’s termination of employment at its value for federal income tax purposes as of the time of such termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code at the time of his termination of employment, the Executive may not use the Company’s aircraft during the six-month period beginning on the date of such termination of employment. 

“Change of Control of the Company” means and shall be deemed to have occurred if: 

(i) any person (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), other than the
Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of Voting Securities representing 50 percent or more of the total voting power of all the then-outstanding Voting
Securities; or 

  
 9 








 (ii) the individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board, together with those
who first become directors subsequent to such date and whose recommendation, election or nomination for election to the Board was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors as of the
date hereof or whose recommendation, election or nomination for election was previously so approved (the “Continuing Directors”),cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the members of the Board; or 

(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or a
subsidiary, reverse split of any class of Voting Securities, or an acquisition of securities or assets by the Company or a subsidiary, or consummation of any such transaction if stockholder approval is not obtained, provided, that any such
transaction in which the holders of outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior to the transaction receive (or, in the case of a transaction involving a subsidiary and not the Company, retain), with respect to such Voting Securities, voting
securities of the surviving or transferee entity representing more than 60 percent of the total voting power outstanding immediately after such transaction shall not be deemed a Change of Control if the voting power of each such continuing holder
relative to other such continuing holders not substantially altered in such transaction; or 
 (iv) the stockholders of the
Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. 

“Disability” means long-term disability within the meaning of the Company’s long-term disability plan under which
Executive is covered at the time of determination. 
 “Earned Salary” means any Base Salary earned, but unpaid, for
services rendered to the Company on or prior to the date on which the Employment Period ends pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof. 
 “Severance Benefits” means an amount equal to (A) three times (two times in the case of termination due to death) Executive’s annualized Base Salary in effect on the date of
termination, plus (B) three times (two times in the case of termination due to death) the average annual bonus paid to the Executive over the two immediately preceding fiscal years, including any annual bonus paid pursuant to Section 3(b),
plus (C), except in the case of Non-Renewal, the Executive’s accrued annual bonus through the date of termination as determined in accordance with clause (B) above; provided, however, that if Executive is terminated without Cause or there
is a Termination for Good Reason, the amounts described in clause (C) above shall be payable only to the extent that the applicable performance targets for the year of termination are actually achieved, and notwithstanding Section 5(c)
above, such amounts shall be paid, if payable, within 5 days following the certification of the achievement of such performance targets by the Compensation Committee of the Board. 

  
 10

to have) a material adverse effect on the business of the Company or its subsidiaries; provided, that if the details of a Termination for Cause were the subject of two previous notices required hereunder, the Company may terminate this Agreement as
a Termination for Cause without the provision of any additional notice and cure period.

Reason” means a termination of Executive’s employment by Executive following (i) a material diminution in Executive’s positions, duties and responsibilities from those described in Section 2 hereof, (ii) the removal of
Executive from his position as either Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or the failure to re-elect Executive as Chairman of the Board of the Company, unless the Company and Executive shall mutually agree to such
removal or failure, as applicable, in writing prior to such action being taken, (iii) a material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary, (iv) a material breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement or (v) a Change
in Control of the Company (but in no event later than six months after such Change of Control); provided, that for any termination pursuant to (i) through (iv) above, Executive shall provide the Company’s Board of Directors with 30
days prior written notice of such good reason termination specifying the exact details of such alleged diminution or material breach, which notice must in any event be provided within 90 days after the occurrence of the event described in clause
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, and the Company shall have 30 days from the date of its receipt of such notice to cure such breach or reverse or correct such diminution to the reasonable satisfaction of Executive; provided further,
that termination of Executive’s employment by Executive following any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above must occur, if at all, within two (2) years following the occurrence of the event(s) giving rise to

further services or the resolution of a contingency. For the purposes of this 

  
 11 









 
Agreement, any outstanding equity awards the vesting of which is both time-based and performance-based shall be considered vested if, and to the extent, the applicable performance targets have
been met as of the date of termination, and any time-based restrictions on such awards shall immediately lapse as of the date of termination. 
 “Voting Securities or Security” means any securities of the Company which carry the right to vote in the election of, or participate in the appointment of, the Company’s directors.

 (e) Full Discharge of Obligations. Except as expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 5(e), the
amounts payable and obligations owed to Executive pursuant to this Section 5 and Section 7(d) following termination of his employment (including amounts payable with respect to Vested Benefits) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of
Executive’s rights under this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6, after the effective date of a termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall have no further obligations or liabilities to the Company. Nothing
in this Section 5(e) shall be construed to release the Company from its obligations described in Sections 3(c), 4(d) and 4(e). 
 (f) Excise Tax Gross-Up. 
 (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if it shall be determined that any payment, distribution or benefit provided (including, without limitation, the acceleration of any payment, distribution or benefit and the acceleration of exercisability of any stock option) to
Executive or for his benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”) would be subject, in whole or in part, to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company an additional payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that the net amount of the Payment and the Gross-Up Payment
retained by Executive after the calculation and deduction of all Excise Taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes) on the Payment and all federal, state and local income tax, employment tax and Excise Tax
(including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes) on the Gross-Up Payment provided for in this Section 5(f) and taking into account any lost or reduced tax deductions on account of the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to
the Payment. 
 (ii) All determinations required to be made under this Section 5(f), including whether and when the
Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determinations shall be made by the Accountants (as defined below) which shall provide Executive and the Company with detailed
supporting calculations with respect to such Gross-Up Payment within ten (10) days after termination of Executive’s employment or such other event which results in a Payment which could necessitate a Gross-Up Payment. For purposes of this
Agreement, the “Accountants” shall mean PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or another accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive. For 

  
 12 









 
purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay Federal income taxes at the applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year
in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and to pay any applicable state and local income taxes at the applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the reduction in federal income
taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of such state or local taxes if paid in such year (determined with regard to limitations on deductions based upon the amount of Executive’s adjusted gross income). To the extent practicable, any
Gross-Up Payment with respect to any Payment shall be paid by the Company at the time Executive is entitled to receive the Payment and in no event shall any Gross-Up Payment be paid later than 10 days after the receipt by Executive of the
Accountants’ determination. Any determination by the Accountants shall be binding upon the Company and Executive, including for purposes of withholding on amounts payable under this Agreement. As a result of uncertainty in the application of
Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accountants hereunder, it is possible that the Gross-Up Payment made will have been an amount that is greater or less than the Company should have paid pursuant to this
Section 5(f) (an “Overpayment” or “Underpayment,” respectively). In the event that the Gross-Up Payment is determined by the Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service to be
less than the amount initially determined by the Accountants, Executive shall promptly repay the Overpayment to the Company; provided, however, that in the event any portion of the Gross-Up Payment to be repaid to the Company has been paid to any
Federal, state or local tax authority, repayment thereof shall not be required until actual refund or credit of such portion has been made to Executive. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 5(f)(iii) and
Executive is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Company shall promptly pay the Underpayment to or for Executive’s benefit. 
 (iii) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification
shall be given as soon as practicable after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior
to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes, interest and/or penalties with respect to such claim is due). If the
Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: 
 (a) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim; 
 (b) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with
respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company; 

  
 13 









 (c) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively
contest such claim; and 
 (d) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claims;
provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify Executive for and hold Executive harmless from, on an
after-tax basis, any Excise Tax, income tax or employment tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of all related costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions
of this Section 5(f), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing
authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination
before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine. The Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment
would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(f), (i) all taxes and related expenses described in this Section 5(f) shall be paid or reimbursed no later than the end of the year
following the year in which the applicable taxes are remitted or, in the case of expenses with respect to which there is no remittance of taxes, no later than the end of the year following the year in which the audit is completed or there is a final
and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation, and (ii) if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code at the time of his termination of employment, no
tax or related expense shall be paid or reimbursed hereunder during the six-month period beginning on the date of such termination of employment. 
 6. Non-competition and Confidentiality. In consideration of the salary and benefits to be provided by the Company hereunder, including particularly the severance arrangements set forth herein,
Executive agrees to the following provisions of this Section. 
 (a) Non-competition. During the Employment Period and
during the greater of (i) three years following any termination of Executive’s employment, or (ii) any period thereafter during which Executive continues to receive benefits under this Agreement, other than a Termination Without
Cause, a Termination for Good Reason or Non-Renewal, Executive shall not directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in or, provide services or financial assistance to any business


  
 14 









 
which directly competes with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this section 6(a), Executive (i) may own for investment purposes
up to 5% of the equity interests of any such company; (ii) may manage, operate, be employed by, participate in, or provide services to a company that engages in such restricted activities if Executive does not personally participate or advise
as to such restricted activities and Executive’s involvement within such company is limited to business units that do not engage in such activities; and (iii) may own (or hold a direct or indirect ownership interest in), manage, operate,
control, be employed by, participate in or, provide services or financial assistance to any company or business that he is permitted during the Employment Period, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, to own (or hold a direct or indirect
ownership interest in), manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in or, provide services or financial assistance to. 
 (b) Confidentiality. Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and thereafter, he shall hold and keep confidential any trade secrets, customer lists and pricing or other confidential
information, or any inventions, discoveries, improvements, products, whether patentable practices, methods or not, directly or indirectly useful in or relating to the business of the Company or its subsidiaries as conducted by it from time to time,
as to which Executive shall at any time during the Employment Period become informed, and he shall not directly or indirectly disclose any such information to any person, firm or corporation or use the same except in connection with the business and
affairs of the Company or its subsidiaries. The foregoing prohibition shall not apply to the extent such information, knowledge or data (a) was publicly known at the time of disclosure to Executive, (b) becomes publicly known or available
thereafter other than by any means in violation of this Agreement, or (c) is required to be disclosed by Executive as a matter of law or pursuant to any court or regulatory order. 

(c) Company Property. Except as expressly provided herein, Executive shall return to the Company all property of the Company and
its subsidiaries promptly following Executive’s termination of employment. 
 (d) Injunctive Relief and Other Remedies
with Respect to Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive with respect to non-competition, confidentiality and Company property, relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a
violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations may cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction,
restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) restraining Executive from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations contained in this Section 6. This remedy is in addition to any other
rights and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity. 
  

	 	7.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a)
Survival. Sections 4 (relating to indemnification), 5 (relating to early termination, change of control and non-renewal), 6 (relating to non-competition and 

  
 15 









 
confidentiality), 7(b) (relating to arbitration), 7(c) (relating to binding effect), 7(d) (relating to full-settlement and legal expenses) and 7(n) (relating to governing law) shall survive the
termination hereof. 
 (b) Arbitration. Except in the event of the need for immediate equitable relief from a court of
competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration relief, and except for enforcement of a party’s remedies to the extent such enforcement must be pursuant to court authorization or order under applicable law, any dispute or
controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. This arbitration shall be held in New York City and except to the extent inconsistent with this Agreement, shall be conducted in accordance with
the Expedited Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect at the time of the arbitration and otherwise in accordance with principles which would be applied by a court of law or equity. The arbitrator shall be
selected by the Company and Executive; provided, that if within fifteen (15) business days of the date of request for arbitration, the parties have not been able to make such selection the dispute shall be held by a panel of three arbitrators
one appointed by each of the parties and the third appointed by the other two arbitrators. 
 (c) Binding Effect. This
Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Company and any person or entity that succeeds to the interest of the Company (regardless of whether such succession does or does not occur by operation of law) by reason of the
sale of all or a portion of the Company’s stock, a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company or, unless the Company otherwise elects in writing, a sale of the assets of the business of the Company (or portion thereof) in
which Executive performs a majority of his services. This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. 

(d) Full-Settlement; Legal Expenses. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and
otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against Executive or others. In no event shall Executive be obligated
to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay, upon written demand therefore by Executive, all legal fees and
expenses which Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any dispute or contest by or with the Company or others regarding the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement (including as a result of any
contest by Executive about the amount of any payment hereunder) if Executive substantially prevails in the dispute or contest or the dispute or contest is settled, plus in each case interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in
Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. In any such action or arbitration brought by the Executive for damages or to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to seek both legal and equitable relief and remedies,
including, without limitation, specific performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder, in his sole discretion. 

  
 16 









 (e) Assignment. Except as provided under Section 7(c), neither this Agreement
nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. 
 (f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters referred to herein. No other agreement (other than awards made in
accordance with the terms of one of the Company’s applicable compensatory plans, programs or arrangements) relating to the terms of Executive’s employment by the Company, oral or otherwise, shall be binding between the parties. There are
no promises, representations, inducements or statements between the parties other than those that are expressly contained herein. Executive acknowledges that he is entering into this Agreement of his own free will and accord, and with no duress,
that he has read this Agreement and that he understands it and its legal consequences and has been advised to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement. 
 (g) Severability; Reformation. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby. In the event that any of the provisions of any of Section 6 is not enforceable in accordance with its terms, Executive and the Company agree that such
Section shall be reformed to make such Section enforceable in a manner which provides the Company the maximum rights permitted at law. 
 (h) Waiver. Waiver by any party hereto of any breach or default by the other party of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default, whether
similar to or different from the breach or default waived. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement may occur except in a written instrument signed by the waiving party, and no waiver shall be implied from any course of dealing between the
parties hereto or from any failure by either party hereto to assert its or his rights hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions. 
 (i) Notices. Any notice required or desired to be delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by courier service, by certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by telecopy and shall be effective upon actual receipt by the party to which such notice shall be directed, and shall be addressed as follows (or to such other address as the party entitled to notice shall hereafter designate in
