EX-10.5(a)



 Exhibit 10.5(a) 

TRANSITION AND SUCCESSION AGREEMENT 
 This Transition and Succession Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of February 25, 2008 (the “Commencement Date”) by and between Mylan Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the
“Company”), and Anthony Mauro (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company, following the Commencement Date, will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility,
threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined herein). The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change
of Control and to encourage the Executive’s full attention and dedication to the current Company and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a
Change of Control that ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and that are competitive with those of other corporations. Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the
Company to enter into this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 

Section 1. Certain Definitions. (a) “Effective Date” means the first date during the Change of Control
Period (as defined herein) on which a Change of Control occurs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on
which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (1) was at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or
(2) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of Control, then “Effective Date” means the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. For the sake of clarity, it is understood that if the
Executive’s employment terminates prior to the Effective Date other than as described in the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall thereupon be null and void and of no further force and effect. 

(b) “Change of Control Period” means the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the date
hereof; provided, however, that, commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary thereof, the “Renewal Date”), unless previously terminated,
the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three years from such Renewal Date, unless, at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date, the Company shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control Period
shall not be so extended. 
 (c) “Affiliated Company” means any company controlled by, controlling or under common
control with the Company. 
 (d) “Change of Control” means: 

(1) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange 







 
Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
“Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 1(d), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company,
(ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a
transaction that complies with Sections 1(d)(3)(A), 1(d)(3)(B) and 1(d)(3)(C). 
 (2) Individuals who, as of the date hereof,
constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination
for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding,
for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board. 
 (3) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share
exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Company, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation that, as a result of such
transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of
the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business
Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting
securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination
were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or 

  
 2 








 (4) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of
the Company. 
 Section 2. Employment Period. The Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its
employ or in the employ of a subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the
“Employment Period”). The Employment Period shall terminate upon the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason. 
 Section 3. Terms of Employment. 
 (a) Position and
Duties. (1) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all material
respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date and (B) the Executive’s services shall be performed at the office where the Executive
was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or at any other location less than 30 miles from such office. 
 (2)
During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the
Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executive’s reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment
Period, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions and
(C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood
and agreed that, to the extent that any such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the
Effective Date shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities to the Company. 
 (b) Compensation. (1) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary (the “Annual Base Salary”) at an
annual rate at least equal to 12 times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary that has been earned but deferred, to the Executive by the Company and the Affiliated Companies in respect of the 12-month period
immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs. The Annual Base Salary shall be paid at such intervals as the Company pays executive salaries generally. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed at
least annually, beginning no more than 12 months after the last salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the Effective Date. Any increase in the Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive
under this Agreement. 

  
 3 








 
The Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term “Annual Base Salary” shall refer to the Annual Base Salary as so increased. 

(2) Annual Bonus. In addition to the Annual Base Salary, the Executive shall participate in a bonus program during the Employment
Period and have a bonus opportunity which is no less favorable than the bonus opportunity for other employees of his level at the Company and its Affiliated Companies. 
 (3) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all cash incentive, equity incentive, savings and retirement plans,
practices, policies, and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities
(measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than
the most favorable of those provided by the Company and the Affiliated Companies for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if
more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies. 
 (4) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits
under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and the Affiliated Companies (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel
accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits
that are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to
the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies. If, on or prior to the Executive’s Date of Termination, the Executive has attained at least age
50 with at least 20 years of service with the Company (including all cumulative service, notwithstanding any breaks in service) the Executive shall be entitled to retiree medical and life insurance benefits at least equal to those that were provided
to peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies and their dependents (taking into account any required employee contributions, co-payments and similar costs imposed on the executives and the executives’ dependents and the tax
treatment of participation in the plans, programs, practices and policies by the executive and the executives’ dependents) in accordance with the retiree medical plans, programs, practices and policies of the Company and the Affiliated
Companies in effect as of the Date of Termination. 
 (5) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the most favorable policies, practices and procedures of the Company and the Affiliated Companies in effect for the Executive
at any time during the 120-day period 

  
 4 








 
immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the
Affiliated Companies. 
 (6) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to fringe
benefits, including, without limitation, tax and financial planning services, payment of club dues, and, if applicable, use of an automobile and payment of related expenses, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and
policies of the Company and the Affiliated Companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter
with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies. 
 (7) Office and Support Staff.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and other appointments, and to exclusive personal secretarial and other assistance, at least equal to the most favorable of the
foregoing provided to the Executive by the Company and the Affiliated Companies at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as provided generally at any time thereafter with
respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies. 
 (8) Vacation. During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and the Affiliated Companies as in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period
immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies. 

Section 4. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically if the Executive dies during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the
Disability (as defined herein) of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of “Disability”), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section ll(b) of its intention to
terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”),
provided that, within 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. “Disability” means the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties with
the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness that is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the
Executive or the Executive’s legal representative. 
 (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s
employment during the Employment Period for Cause. “Cause” means: 

  
 5 








 (1) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform
substantially the Executive’s duties (as contemplated by Section 3(a)(l)(A)) with the Company or any Affiliated Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or following the
Executive’s delivery of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company that specifically identifies the
manner in which the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties, or 

(2) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably
injurious to the Company. 
 For purposes of this Section 4(b), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered
“willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon
authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively
presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board (excluding the Executive, if the Executive is a member of the Board) at a meeting of the Board called and
held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel for the Executive, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the
Executive is guilty of the conduct described in Section 4(b)(l) or 4(b)(2), and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 
 (c) Good Reason. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Executive voluntarily without Good Reason. “Good Reason” means:

 (1) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive’s
position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3(a), or any other diminution in such position (or removal from such position), authority, duties or
responsibilities (whether or not occurring solely as a result of the Company’s ceasing to be a publicly traded entity or becoming a subsidiary or a division of a publicly traded entity), excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and
inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; 
 (2) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 3(b), other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and that is remedied by
the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; 

  
 6 








 (3) the Company’s requiring the Executive (i) to be based at any
office or location other than as provided in Section 3(a)(l)(B), (ii) to be based at a location other than the principal executive offices of the Company if the Executive was employed at such location immediately preceding the Effective
Date, or (iii) to travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately prior to the Effective Date; 
 (4) the failure by the Company to pay to the Executive any portion of any installment of deferred compensation, or lump sum under any deferred compensation program of the Company within 7 days after the
Executive provides the Company with written notice of the failure to pay such compensation when it is due; 
 (5)
the failure by the Company to provide the Executive with the number of paid vacation days and holidays to which the Executive was entitled as of the Effective Date; 

(6) any purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by
this Agreement; 
 (7) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 12(c); 

(8) if the Company (or the entity effectuating a Change of Control) continues to exist and be a company registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after the Effective Date and continues to have in effect an equity-compensation plan, the failure of the Company to grant to the Executive equity-based compensation with respect to a number of shares
of common stock of the Company (or the entity effectuating the Change of Control) at least as great as the average annual percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company with respect to which the Executive received such equity-based
compensation during the three calendar years immediately prior to the Effective Date, which equity-based compensation is on terms, including pricing relative to the market price at the time of grant, that is at least as favorable to the Executive as
the terms of the grant last made to the Executive prior to the Effective Date; 
 (9) failure to include the
Executive in any program or plan of benefits (including, but not limited to stock option and deferred compensation plans), and failure to provide the Executive similar levels of benefit amounts or coverage, which benefits are either provided or
otherwise offered to peer executives following the Effective Date; 
 (10) the Executive’s termination of
employment for Disability. 
 For purposes of this Section 4(c), any good faith determination of Good Reason made by the Executive shall be
conclusive. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, a termination by the Executive for any reason pursuant to a Notice of Termination given during the 90-day period immediately following the first anniversary of the occurrence of
a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control occurring solely under Section l(d)(3) of this Agreement where all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to a Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 

  
 7 








 
more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock following the Business Combination) shall be deemed to be a termination for Good Reason for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Executive’s mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above shall not affect the Executive’s ability to terminate employment for Good Reason. 

(d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 13(b). “Notice of Termination” means a written notice that (1) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied
upon, (2) to the extent applicable, sets 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 (3) if the Date of
Termination (as defined herein) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the Date of Termination (which Date of Termination shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the
Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance that 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 respective rights hereunder. 
 (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (1) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the
date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified in the Notice of Termination, (which date shall not be more than 30 days after the giving of such notice), as the case may be, (2) if the Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination, and (3) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death
or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 
 Section 5. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. 

(a) Good Reason, Death; Other Than for Cause. If, during the Employment Period, the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment other than for Cause or the Executive resigns for Good Reason or if the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of the Executive’s death: 

(1) the Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, in the event of the
Executive’s death), in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination (or, if required by Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imposition of additional taxes, on the date which is six (6) months following the Date of
Termination), the aggregate of the following amounts: 
 (A) the sum of (i) the Executive’s Annual Base
Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, and (ii) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case, to
the extent not 

  
 8 








 
theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in subclauses (i) and (ii) the “Accrued Obligations”); and 

(B) the amount equal to the product of (i) three and (ii) the amount of base salary and cash bonus paid to the
Executive by the Company as reflected on the Executive’s W-2 in the tax year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs or the Change of Control occurs, whichever is greater (in the case of death or resignation for
Good Reason by reason of the Executive’s Disability, reduced (but not below zero) by any death or disability benefits that the Executive or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries are entitled to pursuant to plans or arrangements of the
Company), provided that if the Executive was not employed by the Company during such entire tax year, item (ii) shall refer to the amount of base salary and cash bonus as agreed to in Executive’s offer of employment letter; 

(2) for three years after the Executive’s Date of termination (or such shorter period as required by
Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imposition of additional taxes), the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s dependents at least equal to those that were provided to them (taking into account any
required employee contributions, co-payments and similar costs imposed on the Executive and the Executive’s dependents and tax treatment of participation in plans, programs, practices and policies by the Executive and the Executive’s
dependents) in accordance with the plans, programs, practices, and policies described in Section 3(b)(4) as of the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other
peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies and their dependents; provided, however, that, if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive such benefits under another employer provided plan, the
medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. The eligibility of the Executive and the Executive’s dependents, if any, for
“COBRA” continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code shall begin on the date that the coverage described in this Section 5(a)(2) ceases to be provided. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of
commencement of benefits) of the Executive for retiree medical and life insurance benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until three years after the Date of
Termination and to have retired on the last day of such period in order to determine age and service; and 
 (3)
to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any Other Benefits (as defined in Section 6). 
 (b) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, the Company shall provide to the Executive (1) the
Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, (2) the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive, and (3) the Other Benefits, in each case, to the extent theretofore unpaid, and shall have no
other severance obligations under this Agreement. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment 

  
 9 








 
Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, the Company shall provide to the Executive the Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or delivery of the Other Benefits, and shall have no
other severance obligations under this Agreement. In such case, all the Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. 

Section 6. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing
or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or the Affiliated Companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 13(f), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such
rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement with the Company or the Affiliated Companies. Amounts that are vested benefits or that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program
of or any other contract or agreement with the Company or the Affiliated Companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination (“Other Benefits”) shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or
agreement, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability (or death), with respect to the provision of the Other Benefits, the term
“Other Benefits” shall include, and the Executive (or the estate or beneficiary of the Executive, in the event of the Executive’s death) shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date (or upon the Executive’s death) to
receive, disability (or death) benefits and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Company and the Affiliated Companies to disabled executives (or to the estates and beneficiaries of deceased
executives) and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability (or death), if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the
120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated
Companies and their families. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits under any severance
plan, program or policy of the Company and the Affiliated Companies, unless otherwise specifically provided therein in a specific reference to this Agreement. 
 Section 7. Full Settlement. 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 that the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of
mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company agrees to pay as incurred (within 10 days
following the Company’s receipt of an invoice from the Executive), to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses that the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the
Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment
pursuant to this Agreement), plus, in each case, interest on any delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 

  
 10 









 Section 8. Certain Additional Payments by the Company. (a) Anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any Payment would be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the
“Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties
imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. The Company’s obligation to make Gross-Up Payments under
this Section 8 shall not be conditioned upon the Executive’s termination of employment. 
 (b) Subject to the
provisions of Section 8(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
determination, shall be made by Deloitte and Touche LLP, or such other nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed
supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting
Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting
firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 8, shall be paid by the Company to
the Executive within 5 days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments that will not have been made by the Company should have been made (the “Underpayment”),
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 8(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall
determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. 
 (c) The 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 the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification
shall be given as soon as practicable, but no later than 10 business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim. The Executive shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to
be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which the Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect
to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that the Company desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall: 

  
 11 









 (1) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company
relating to such claim, 
 (2) 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, 

(3) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and 

(4) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; 

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 and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs
and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest, and, at its sole discretion, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative
appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the applicable taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole discretion, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any
permissible manner, and the 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; provided,
however, that, if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income in connection with such advance; and provided, further,
that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the
Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which the Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and the 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. 
 (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by
the Company pursuant to Section 8(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 8(c)) promptly pay to the
Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8(c), a determination is
made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven 

  
 12 









 
and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the
Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of the Executive, all or any portion of any Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby consents to such withholding. 

(f) Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Section 8. 

(i) “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties
imposed with respect to such excise tax. 
 (ii) A “Payment” shall mean any payment or distribution in the nature of
compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. 

Section 9. Covenants of Executive. 
 (a) Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the
Company or the Affiliated Companies, and their respective businesses, which information, knowledge or data shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or the Affiliated Companies and which
information, knowledge or data shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company,
the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those persons
designated by the Company. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement. 

(b) Non-Competition. In consideration for the protections provided to the Executive under this Agreement, the
Executive agrees that from the Date of Termination until the first anniversary thereof (the “Covenant Period”), the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management,
operation or control of, or be connected as an officer, employee, partner, director or otherwise with, or (other than through the ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation) have any
financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of, a business which at the time of such termination competes in the United States with a business conducted by the Company or any group, division or subsidiary of the Company
(“Company Group”) as of the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment by a business that competes with the business of the Company, or the retention of the Executive as a consultant by any such
business shall not violate this Section 9(b) if the Executive’s duties and actions for the business are solely for groups, divisions or 

  
 13 









 
subsidiaries that are not engaged in a business that competes with a business conducted by the Company. No business shall be deemed to be a business conducted by the Company unless the Company
was engaged in the business as of the Date of Termination and continues to be engaged in the business and at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s consolidated gross sales and operating revenues, or net income, is derived from,
or at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s consolidated assets are devoted to, such business and no business shall be deemed to compete with a business conducted by the Company unless at least twenty-five percent (25%) of
the consolidated gross sales and operating revenues, or net income, of any consolidated group that includes the business, is derived from, or at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the consolidated assets of any such consolidated group are
devoted to, such business. 
 (c) Non-Solicitation. During the Covenant Period, the Executive shall not
solicit on the Executive’s behalf or on behalf of any other person the services, as employee, consultant or otherwise of any person who on the Date of Termination is employed by the Company Group, whether or not such person would commit any
breach of his contract of service in leaving such employment, except for any employee (i) whose employment is terminated by the Company or any successor thereof prior to such solicitation of such employee, (ii) who initiates discussions
regarding such employment without any solicitation by the Executive, (iii) who responds to any public advertisement unless such advertisement is designed to target, or has the effect of targeting, employees of the Company, or (iv) who is
initially solicited for a position other than by the Executive and without any suggestion or advice from the Executive. Nothing herein shall restrict businesses that employ the Executive or retain the Executive as an executive from soliciting from
time to time employees of the Company, if (A) such solicitation occurs in the ordinary course of filling the business’s employment needs, and (B) the solicitation is made by persons at the business other than the Executive who have
not become aware of the availability of any specific employees as a result of the advice of the Executive 
 (d)
Continuation of Employment. The Executive agrees not to voluntarily terminate employment with the Company (other than as a result of an event that would constitute Good Reason that is at the request of a third party that has taken steps
reasonably calculated to effectuate a Change of Control or otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control) from such time as the Company has entered into an agreement that would result in a Change of Control until the
Change of Control; provided, that such provision shall cease to apply upon the termination of such agreement or if the Change of Control has not occurred within one year following the execution of such agreement. 

Section 10. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be
settled exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that
the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Executive’s right to be paid any amounts or provided with any benefits due to the Executive hereunder during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement.

Executive’s legal representatives. 
 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and
its successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 12(c), without the prior written consent of the Executive this Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company.

expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. “Company” means the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid that assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason under Sections 4(c), shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. 
 (f) The Executive and the
Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is “at will” and, subject to Section l(a), prior to the
