WARRANTS 

Section 2.01. Form. 

(a) Global Warrants. Except as provided in Section 2.04 or 2.05, Warrants issued upon any transfer or exchange thereof shall
be issued in the form of one or more permanent global Warrants in fully registered form with the global securities legend set forth in Exhibit A 

 

 3 

 
hereto (each, a “Global Warrant”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the Company with the Warrant Agent, as custodian for the Depositary (or with such other custodian as the
Depositary may direct), and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided. 

(b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(b) shall apply only to a Global Warrant deposited with or on behalf of the
Depositary. 
 (i) The Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.02,
countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, and deliver one or more Global Warrants that (A) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary and (B) shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to
the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions or held by the Warrant Agent as custodian for the Depositary. Each Global Warrant shall be dated the date of its countersignature by the Warrant Agent. 

(ii) Agent Members shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Warrant held on their behalf by
the Depositary or by the Warrant Agent as the custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Warrant except to the extent set forth herein or in a Warrant Certificate, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any
agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Warrant for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or
the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (B) impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Warrant. The rights of beneficial owners in a Global Warrant shall be exercised through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary except to
the extent set forth herein or in a Warrant Certificate. 
 (c) Definitive Securities. Except as provided in
Section 2.04 or 2.05, owners of beneficial interests in Global Warrants will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Warrants. 

(d) Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates shall be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and shall be typed,
printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of such methods or produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, all as determined by the Officer or Officers
executing such Warrant Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof. Any Warrant Certificate shall have such insertions as are appropriate or required or permitted by this Agreement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification and such legends and endorsements, stamped, printed, lithographed or engraved thereon, (i) as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) such as may be required
to comply with this Agreement, any law or any rule of any securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, and (iii) such as may be necessary to conform to customary usage. 

 

 4 

 Section 2.02. Execution and Countersignature. 

At least one Officer shall sign the Warrant Certificates for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Warrant Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Warrant Agent countersigns the
Warrant Certificate, the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The Warrant Agent shall
initially countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, and deliver Warrant Certificates entitling the Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate not more than 2,532,542 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in such
Warrant Certificates) upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of its countersignature by the Warrant Agent. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall upon receipt of a written order of the
Company signed by an Officer of the Company countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, for issue a Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants specified in such order; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent
shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Company that it may reasonably request in connection with such countersignature of Warrants. Such order shall specify the number of Warrants to be evidenced
on the Warrant Certificate to be countersigned, the date on which such Warrant Certificate is to be countersigned and the number of Warrants then authorized. 

The Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent countersigns the
Warrant Certificate either manually or by facsimile signature. Such signature shall be solely for the purpose of authenticating the Warrant Certificate and shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly
authenticated and issued under this Agreement. 
 Section 2.03. Registry. 

The Warrants shall be issued in registered form only. The Warrant Agent shall keep a registry (the “Registry”) of the
Warrant Certificates and of their transfer and exchange. The Registry shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders and the date and number of Warrants evidenced on the face of each of the Warrant Certificates. The Holder of any
Global Warrant will be the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary in whose name the Global Warrant is registered. The Warrant holdings of Agent Members will be recorded on the books of the Depositary. The beneficial interests in the Global
Warrant held by customers of Agent Members will be reflected on the books and records of such Agent Members and will not be known to the Warrant Agent, the Company or to the Depositary. 

 

 5 

 Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Warrant Certificate, the Company and the
Warrant Agent may deem and treat any Person in whose name a Warrant Certificate is registered in the Registry as the absolute owner of such Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 2.04. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants. 

(i) Registration of the transfer and exchange of Global Warrants or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through
the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary, in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrant Certificates and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant (or the relevant Agent Member
on behalf of such transferor) shall deliver to the Warrant Agent (x) a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member to be credited with a beneficial
interest in the Global Warrant and (y) a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing. Additionally, prior to the Holder
registering the transfer or making the exchange as requested, the requirements for such transfer or exchange to be issued in a name other than the registered Holder shall be met. Such requirements include, inter alia, a signature guarantee from an
eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and any other reasonable evidence of authority that may be required by the Warrant Agent. Upon satisfaction of the
conditions in this Clause (i), the Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Agent Member specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Warrant and to
debit the account of the Agent Member making the transfer of the beneficial interest in the Warrant being transferred. 

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.05), a
Global Warrant may only be transferred as a whole, and not in part, and only by (i) the Depositary, to a nominee of the Depositary, (ii) a nominee of the Depositary, to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or (iii) the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or its nominee. 
 (iii) In the event that a Global
Warrant is exchanged and transferred for Definitive Warrants pursuant to Section 2.05, such Warrants may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.04 and the
requirements of any Warrant Certificate and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or of any Warrant Certificate. 

 

 6 

 (b) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Warrant. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a Global Warrant have been exchanged for Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Warrant shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Warrant Agent. At any time prior
to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is transferred or exchanged for Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced and an adjustment
shall be made on the books and records of the Warrant Agent to reflect such reduction. 
 (c) Obligations with Respect to
Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company
shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants as required pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02 and this Section 2.04. 

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

(iii) All Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be
the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon such registration for transfer or exchange. 

(d) No Obligation of the Warrant Agent. 

(i) The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Warrant, any Agent
Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Warrants or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member,
beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Warrants. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under
the Warrants shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Warrant). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Warrant shall be exercised only
through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Warrant Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and
any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any 

 

 7 

 
Warrant (including any transfer between or among the Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Warrant) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or
evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

Section 2.05. Definitive Warrants. 

(a) Beneficial interests in a Global Warrant deposited with the Depositary or with the Warrant Agent as custodian for the Depositary
pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be transferred to each beneficial owner thereof in the form of Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such owner’s beneficial interest in such Global Warrant, in exchange for such
Global Warrant, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.04 and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Warrant or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a
“clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each such case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in
writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Warrants under this Agreement, or (iii) the Company shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or institutes proceedings to be
adjudicated a bankrupt or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization under Federal bankruptcy laws or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, or
shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or custodian of all or any substantial part of its property, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a
receiver or custodian of it or all or any substantial part of its property shall be appointed, or if a public officer shall have taken charge or control of the Company or of its property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation. 
 (b) Any Global Warrant that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Warrants
pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Warrant Agent to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual or facsimile
signature, and deliver to each beneficial owner in the name of such beneficial owner, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Warrant, Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such beneficial owner’s
beneficial interest in the Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall register such transfer in the Registry, and upon such transfer the surrendered Global Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. 

(c) All Definitive Warrants issued upon registration of transfer pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be the valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same obligations of the Company and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement and the Global Warrant surrendered for registration of such transfer. 

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the registered Holder of a Global Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants. 

 

 8 

 (e) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.05(a),
the Company will promptly make available to the Warrant Agent a reasonable supply of Definitive Warrants in definitive, fully registered form. 

(f) Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent will be liable or responsible for any registration or transfer of any Warrants that are
registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary. 
 Section 2.06. Replacement
Certificates. 
 If a mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or if the Holder of a Warrant Certificate
provides proof reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual or facsimile
signature, a replacement Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, if the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent and of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of
New York are met. If required by the Warrant Agent or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company and the Warrant Agent to protect the Company and the Warrant Agent from any loss that
either of them may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced. The Company and the Warrant Agent may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant Certificate evidences an additional obligation
of the Company. 
 Section 2.07. Outstanding Warrants. 

The Warrants outstanding at any time are all Warrants evidenced on all Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent except for
those canceled by it and those delivered to it for cancellation. A Warrant ceases to be outstanding if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Warrant. 

If a Warrant Certificate is replaced pursuant to Section 2.06, the Warrants evidenced thereby cease to be outstanding unless the
Warrant Agent and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Warrant Certificate is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

Section 2.08. Cancellation. 

In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Definitive Warrants, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Warrant
Agent for cancellation. 
 The Warrant Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Warrant Certificates surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, replacement, exercise or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Warrant Agent to deliver canceled Warrant Certificates to the Company. The

  

 9 

 
Company may not issue new Warrant Certificates to replace Warrant Certificates to the extent they evidence Warrants that have been exercised or Warrants that the Company has purchased or
otherwise acquired. 
 Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company, in issuing the Warrants, may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Warrant Agent shall use
“CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Warrant Certificates or
as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Warrant Certificates. 

ARTICLE III 

EXERCISE TERMS 

Section 3.01. Exercise. 

The Exercise Price of each Warrant, the Warrant Share Number, the number of Warrants evidenced by any Warrant Certificate and the
Expiration Time of each Warrant shall be set forth in the related Warrant Certificate. The Exercise Price of each Warrant and the Warrant Share Number are subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms set forth in the Warrant Certificate. 

Section 3.02. Manner of Exercise and Issuance of Shares. 

Warrants may be exercised in the manner set forth in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate, and upon any such exercise, Shares shall
be issued in the manner set forth in Section 4 of the Warrant Certificate. 
 Section 3.03. Covenant to Make Stock
Certificates Available. 
 (a) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to requisition from time to time from any stock transfer
agents of the Company stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Company agrees to authorize and direct such transfer agents to comply with all such
requests of the Warrant Agent. The Company shall supply such transfer agents with duly executed stock certificates for such purposes and shall provide or otherwise make available any cash or scrip that may be payable upon exercise of Warrants as
provided herein and in each Warrant Certificate. 
 (b) In connection with the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
exercise, the Company shall, if so required by the Warrant Agent, provide an opinion of counsel, stating that all such shares, when issued, will be: 

(i) registered, or subject to a valid exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all
material and necessary State securities law filings will have been made with respect to such shares; and 
 (ii)
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 
  

 10 

 ARTICLE IV 

ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS 

Section 4.01. Antidilution Adjustments; Notice of Adjustment. 

The Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 12 of the
Warrant Certificate. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number is so adjusted or is proposed to be adjusted as provided in Section 12 of the Warrant Certificate, the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent the notices or
statements, and shall cause a copy of such notices or statements to be sent or communicated to each Holder pursuant to Section 6.03, as provided in Sections 12(H) and (I) of the Warrant Certificate. 

Section 4.02. Adjustment to Warrant Certificate. 

The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to the Warrant Certificate, and Warrant
Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same Warrant Share Number as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole
discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant Certificate, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or
countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. 

ARTICLE V 

WARRANT AGENT

The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement, except for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

  

 11 

 Section 5.02. Rights and Duties of Warrant Agent. 

(a) Agent for the Company. In acting under this Warrant Agreement and in connection with the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant
Agent is acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the holders of Warrant Certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants. 

(b) Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel to the Company), and the advice of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel. 

(c) Documents. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or thing
suffered by it in reliance upon any Warrant Certificate, notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or signed by the proper parties.

 (d) No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are specifically set
forth herein and in the Warrant Certificates, and no implied duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent shall be read into this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to
take any action hereunder that may involve it in any expense or liability for which it does not receive indemnity if such indemnity is reasonably requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use
by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates countersigned by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Holders or on behalf of the Holders pursuant to this Agreement or for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrants. The
Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a
Holder with respect to such default, including any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise. 

(e) Not Responsible for Adjustments or Validity of Stock. The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require an adjustment of the Warrant Share Number or the Exercise Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any adjustment when made, or with respect to the method
employed herein or in any supplemental agreement provided to be employed, in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value of any Shares or of any securities or property that may at any time be

become vested with all the rights and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become
obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all monies, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Warrant Agent hereunder. 

(e) Successor by Merger. Any entity into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting
from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any entity to which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets and business, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under
this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that it shall be qualified as aforesaid.

Holders any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any part hereof. 
 Section 6.02. Amendment.

 This Agreement and the Warrants may be amended by the parties hereto without the consent of any Holder for the purpose of
curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein or therein or adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or the Warrants as the
Company and the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that such action shall not adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect. Any amendment or supplement to this Agreement or

provided that the consent of each Holder affected thereby shall be required for any amendment pursuant to which (i) the Exercise Price would be increased or the Warrant Share Number would be decreased (in each case, other than pursuant
to adjustments provided for in Section 12 of the Warrant Certificate), (ii) the time period during which the Warrants are exercisable would be shortened or (iii) any change adverse to the Holder would be made to the anti-dilution
provisions set forth in Article IV of this Agreement or Section 12 of the Warrant Certificate. In determining whether the Holders of the required number of Warrants have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Warrants owned by the
Company or by any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Warrant Agent shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Warrants that the Warrant Agent knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Warrants outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to determine
whether any such amendment would have an effect on the rights or interests of the holders of the Warrants. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to
the execution of the amendment have been complied with and such execution is permitted by this Agreement and the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall join in the execution of such amendment; provided, that the Warrant Agent may, but shall
not be obligated to, execute any amendment or supplement which affects the rights or changes or increases the duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent.

Global Warrant so that the number of Warrants represented thereby will be equal to the number of Warrants theretofor represented by such Global Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised. The Warrant Agent shall thereafter promptly return

institute and maintain, any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to exercise, and to receive Shares for, its Warrants as provided in the Global Warrant, and to enforce the Warrant
Agreement.

Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be (i) issued in such name or names as the exercising Warrantholder may designate and (ii) delivered by the Transfer Agent to such Warrantholder or its nominee or nominees (A) via
book-entry transfer crediting the account of such Warrantholder (or the relevant Agent Member for the benefit of such Warrantholder) through the Depositary’s DWAC system (if the Transfer Agent participates in such system), or (B) otherwise
in certificated form by physical delivery to the address specified by the Warrantholder in the Notice of Exercise. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to be a participant in the Depositary’s

represents and warrants that any Shares issued upon the exercise of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and

therewith). The Company agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed to have been issued to a Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate have been duly exercised, notwithstanding
that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered on such date. The Company will at all times until the Expiration Time (or, if such date shall not be a business
day, then on the next succeeding business day) reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise hereof at any time. The Company will (A) procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof at any time, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all
principal stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded and (B) maintain such listings of such Shares at all times after issuance. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without
violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded. 

5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise
of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate. In lieu of any fractional Share that would otherwise be issued to a Warrantholder upon the exercise of any Warrants, such Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the
Market Price of the Common Stock on the trading day on which such warrants are exercised representing such fractional Share. The beneficial owners of the Warrants and the Warrantholder, by their acceptance hereof, expressly waive their right to
receive any fraction of a share of Common Stock or a certificate representing a fraction of a share of Common Stock or Warrant Certificate representing a fractional Warrant upon exercise of any Warrant.

 6. No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate do not entitle the Warrantholder or the owner of any beneficial interest in such Warrants to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date of exercise hereof. The Company will at no time close its
transfer books against transfer of Warrants in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise hereof. 
 7. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Shares in certificated or book-entry form to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Shares (other than liens or charges created by a Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously therewith), all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company. 
 8.
Transfer/Assignment. This Warrant Certificate and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company (or an agent duly appointed by the Company) by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly
authorized attorney, and one or more new Warrant Certificates shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant Certificate but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate, duly endorsed, to the office or agency of the Company described in Section 3; provided that if this Warrant Certificate is a Global Warrant registered in the name of the Depositary, transfers of such Global Warrant may only
be made as a whole, and not in part, and only by (i) the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (ii) a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or (iii) the Depositary or any such nominee to
a successor Depositary or its nominee. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new Warrant Certificates pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid
by the Company. 
 If this Warrant Certificate is a Global Warrant, then so long as the Global Warrant is registered in the name
of the Depositary, the holders of beneficial interests in the Warrants evidenced thereby shall have no rights under this Warrant Certificate with respect to the Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Warrant Agent as its
custodian, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of the Global Warrant for all purposes whatsoever except to the extent set forth herein.
Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Warrant will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or the Agent Members, and neither the Company
nor the Warrant Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to such records maintained by the Depositary or the Agent Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of
the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (ii) impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of

  

 8 

 
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Warrant. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant
Agreement, the rights of beneficial owners in a Global Warrant shall be exercised through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Any holder of the Global Warrant shall, by acceptance of the Global Warrant, agree that
transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Warrant may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depositary, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants represented thereby shall be required to be reflected
in book-entry form. 
 A Global Warrant shall be exchanged for Definitive Warrants, and Definitive Warrants may be transferred
or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant, only at such times and in the manner specified in the Warrant Agreement. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant Agreement, the holder of a Global Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold beneficial interests in such Global Warrant through Agent Members, to take any action that a Warrantholder is entitled to take under a Warrant or the Warrant Agreement.

 9. Exchange and Registry of Warrants. This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the
Warrantholder to the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing the same aggregate number of Warrants. The Company or an agent duly appointed by the Company (which initially shall be the Warrant
Agent) shall maintain a Registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate. This Warrant Certificate may be surrendered for exchange or exercise in accordance with its terms, at the office
of the Company or any such agent, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such Registry. 

10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of proof reasonably satisfactory to
it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent, or, in
the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and
representing the same aggregate number of Warrants as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate. 

11. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right
required or granted herein shall not be a business day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a business day. 
  

 9 

 12. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single
event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 12 so as to result in duplication: 
 (A)
Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Share Number at the time of the record date for such dividend or
distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of a Warrant after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such
holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Share Number had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such
dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by the quotient of (x) the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such adjustment
divided by (y) the new Warrant Share Number determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. 
 (B) Other
Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash
Dividends, dividends of its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 12(A)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way
on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the securities, evidences of
indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (such subtracted amount and/or Fair Market Value, the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such
date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the Warrant Share Number shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number immediately
prior to such adjustment by the quotient of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment divided by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that would
constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to
distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. 

(C) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise
Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro 
  

 10 

 
Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and
(y) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate
purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so
repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the
Warrant Share Number shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such adjustment by the quotient of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving
rise to this adjustment divided by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the Warrant Share Number shall be made
pursuant to this Section 12(C). 
 (D) Business Combinations or Reclassifications of Common Stock. In case of any
Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 12(A)), a Warrantholder’s right to receive Shares upon exercise of a Warrant shall be converted into the right
to exercise such Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of such Warrant
immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with
respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to such Warrantholder’s right to exercise a Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock
or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of a Warrant following the consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of
Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination, then the consideration that a Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be deemed to be the
types and amounts of consideration received by the majority of all holders of the shares of Common Stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none make an election). For purposes of determining any amount to be withheld
pursuant to Section 3 from stock, securities or the property that would otherwise be delivered to a Warrantholder upon exercise of Warrants following any Business Combination, the amount of such stock, securities or property to be withheld
shall have a Market Price equal to the aggregate Exercise Price as to which such Warrants are so exercised, based on the fair market value of such stock, securities or property on the trading day on which such Warrants are exercised and the Notice
of Exercise is delivered to the Warrant Agent; provided that in the case of any property that is not a security, the Market Price of such property shall be deemed to be its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors in reliance on an opinion of a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose; and further, provided that if making such determination requires the conversion of 

 

 11 

 
any currency other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars, such conversion shall be done in accordance with customary procedures based on the rate for conversion of such currency into U.S. dollars
displayed on the relevant page by Bloomberg L.P. (or any successor or replacement service) on or by 4:00 p.m., New York City time. 

(E) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest
one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number
shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and
together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more, or on exercise of a Warrant if it shall earlier occur.

 (F) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of
this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to a Warrantholder of Warrants exercised after such
record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before
giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due
bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 

(G) Other Events. Neither the Exercise Price nor the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted in the event of a change in the par
value of the Common Stock or a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company. 
 (H) Statement Regarding
Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted as provided in Section 12, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts
requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the Warrant Share Number after such adjustment. The Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a copy of such statement and shall cause a copy of such statement to be sent
or communicated to the Warrantholders pursuant to Section 18. 
 (I) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that
the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 12 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number or a
change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of a Warrant), the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a notice and shall cause such notice to be sent or communicated to the Warrantholders in the manner set forth in
Section 18, which notice shall 
  

 12 

 
specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as
shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant. In the case of any action which would require
the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action. 
 (J) Proceedings Prior to Any
Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, New
York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market or other applicable national securities exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Shares that a
Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of a Warrant pursuant to this Section 12. 
 (K) Adjustment
Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value
of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock. 

13. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant Certificate and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder. 

14. Governing Law. This Warrant Certificate and the Warrants evidenced hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. 
 15.
Binding Effect; Countersignature by Warrant Agent. This Warrant Certificate shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company. This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent (as
defined below) or its agent as provided in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below) countersigns this Warrant Certificate. Such signature shall be solely for the purpose of authenticating this Warrant Certificate and shall be conclusive evidence
that this Warrant Certificate has been countersigned under the Warrant Agreement. 
 16. Warrant Agreement; Amendments.
This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Warrant Agreement dated as of May [    ], 2010 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, LLC (the “Warrant 
  

 13 

 
Agent,” which term includes any successor Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agreement), and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which
terms and provisions the beneficial owners of the Warrants and the Warrantholders consent by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Reference is hereby made to the Warrant
Agreement for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders and beneficial owners of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained for
inspection by the Warrantholders or beneficial owners of the Warrants upon request to the Warrant Agent at the address of the Warrant Agent (or successor warrant agent) set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement and this Warrant
Certificate may be amended and the observance of any term of the Warrant Agreement or this Warrant Certificate may be waived only to the extent provided in the Warrant Agreement. 

17. Prohibited Actions. 

The Company agrees that it will not take any action which would entitle the Warrantholder to an adjustment of the Exercise Price if the
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, conversion and other rights, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by its Charter. 

18. Notices. Unless this Warrant Certificate is a Global Warrant, any notice or communication mailed to the Warrantholder shall be
mailed to the Warrantholder at the Warrantholder’s address as it appears in the Registry and shall be sufficiently given if so mailed within the time prescribed. Any notice to holders of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant shall be
distributed through the Depositary in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. Communications to such holders shall be deemed to be effective at the time of dispatch to the Depositary.

 3Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 

Execution Copy 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

Marc L. Reisch 

This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of May 17, 2010 by and between
Visant Holding Corp. (“VHC”), Jostens, Inc. (“Jostens”) and Marc Reisch, and further amends and restates the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement entered into as of December 19, 2008 by and between VHC and
Marc Reisch (the “Executive”) (which prior agreement amended and restated an employment agreement originally entered into by and between VHC and Executive on October 4, 2004 (the “Original Effective Date”)).

 WHEREAS, VHC has been employing Executive and VHC desires to continue to employ Executive, and Executive continues to be
employed by VHC, on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and mutual covenants herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Term of
Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement, Executive shall continue to be employed by VHC, and any of its subsidiaries that the Board of Directors of VHC (the “Board”) shall designate
(collectively, the “Company”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The term of Executive’s employment hereunder shall automatically be renewed on the terms and conditions hereunder, for
additional one year periods, on December 31 of each calendar year occurring after the date hereof (the current term of his Agreement and any annual extensions of the term of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof,
together, the “Employment Term”), unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to such anniversary. Any such written notice by VHC of non-renewal shall be deemed to constitute a
termination by VHC Without Cause under Section 8(c) of this Agreement. 
 2. Position. 

a. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of VHC and its subsidiaries. In such position,
Executive shall have such duties and authority as determined by the Board and commensurate with the position of chief executive officer of a company of similar size and nature to that of VHC. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall report
solely to the Board and shall serve as the Chairman of the Board; provided, however, that upon the completion of a Public Offering (as such term is defined in that certain Management Stockholder’s Agreement entered into by and
between VHC and Executive as of the Original Effective Date (the “Management Stockholders Agreement”)), VHC may appoint another individual as the non-executive Chairman of the Board. 

b. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business time and reasonable best efforts to the performance
of Executive’s duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise 

 
which would conflict or interfere in any material respect with the rendition of such services either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Board; provided that
nothing herein shall preclude Executive, subject to the prior approval of the Board, from accepting appointment to or continuing to serve on any board of directors or trustees of any business corporation or any charitable organization;
provided in each case in the aggregate, that such activities do not conflict or interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or conflict with Section 9 and provided, further, that in any event
Executive shall be permitted to continue to serve on the boards of directors of the business corporations set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. 

3. Base Salary. During the Employment Term, VHC shall pay Executive a base salary at the annual rate of $950,000, payable in
substantially equal periodic payments in accordance with VHC’s practices for other executive employees, as such practices may be determined from time to time. Executive shall be entitled to such increases in Executive’s base salary, if
any, as may be determined from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board, which shall at least annually review Executive’s rate of base salary to determine if any such increase shall be made. Executive’s annual base salary, as in
effect from time to time hereunder, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary.” 
 4.
Annual Bonus. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus award in respect of each fiscal year of VHC (an “Annual Bonus”), in a target amount equal to $1,050,000 (the “Target
Bonus”) (with a maximum opportunity equal to 150% (increasing in a linear progression for performance above 100% and up to 150%) of the Target Bonus, based upon achievement of certain “stretch” targets to be established by the
Board annually in consultation with the Executive), payable upon VHC’s achievement of certain performance targets (of which no less than 67% shall be weighted based on EBITDA (as such term is defined in the Equity Documents) targets for each
fiscal year of VHC (each, a “Fiscal Year”), with the balance of such targets to be based on other metrics (which may include EBITDA-Cap Ex targets) established by the Board after consultation with Executive, pursuant to the terms of
an incentive compensation plan established by the Board (the “Incentive Plan”). All Annual Bonuses shall be payable under the Incentive Plan at such time(s) as annual bonuses are otherwise payable thereunder and, in any event,
within 2 1/2 months following the end of the fiscal
year in respect of which such bonus is earned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in recognition by Executive of the long-term incentive compensation award granted to Executive under award letter agreement dated March 31, 2010 by VHC (the
“LTIP Letter”), which award provides for the payment to Executive of amounts in respect of his continued employment and the achievement by VHC of certain performance targets (which payments may be accelerated on the occurrence of
certain terminations of employment), Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive shall not be eligible to earn an Annual Bonus pursuant to any annual Incentive Plan in respect of Fiscal Year 2010 or any prorated portion of any such Annual Bonus
amount in respect of Fiscal Year 2010 upon any termination of employment pursuant to any provision of Section 8 of this Agreement. 

5. Signing Bonus. VHC has previously paid to the Executive a cash signing bonus of $600,000, which bonus Executive (net after the
payment or provision for applicable taxes and other amounts required by law to be withheld) reinvested in Class A Common Stock as part of the Executive’s Equity Participation as set forth in Section 7 below.

 6. Employee Benefits; Business Expenses. 

a. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive and his dependents shall be entitled to participate in VHC’s and
its subsidiaries’, as applicable, welfare benefit plans, fringe benefit plans and qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, as in effect from time to time as determined by the Board, including that certain Marc Reisch 2010 Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan and the rabbi trust funded thereunder (all such plans, the “Company Plans”, and all benefits due thereunder, collectively, the “Employee Benefits”), on the same basis as those benefits are
made available to the other senior executives of VHC, at the level made available to the chief executive officer position of VHC in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time (except that the Marc Reisch 2010
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan shall continue in effect solely in accordance with its terms). 
 b. Perquisites.
During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to receive such perquisites as are made available to the chief executive officer position of VHC in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect as of the date hereof. Executive shall
be entitled to not less than four weeks of paid vacation per annum, which shall be subject to the Company’s vacation policy applicable to the other senior executives of VHC, at the level made available to the chief executive officer position of
VHC in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time. 
 c. Life Insurance. At all times
that Executive is employed by VHC or any subsidiary thereof (or any successor thereof, as applicable), VHC or such subsidiary (or such successor, as applicable) shall pay all premiums on a life insurance policy having a death benefit equal to $10
million that will be payable to such beneficiaries as may be designated by Executive, which life insurance policy shall, to the extent attainable by VHC using its commercially reasonable efforts, contain a provision allowing for Executive, upon any
termination of his employment, to assume such policy at the same premium costs paid by VHC prior to such termination (subject to such increases as may be made in the ordinary course by the insurance company providing the policy), such that the
Executive may continue to receive coverage under such life insurance policy thereafter at his own expense (such policy, the “Life Insurance Policy”). 

d. Business Expenses. During the Employment Term, reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of
Executive’s duties hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Company in accordance with the Company’s policies applicable to senior executive officers of the Company. 

7. Equity Participation. 

a. Executive (i) invested $3,500,000 in cash to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) was granted an option to
purchase 3.5 shares of Class A Common Stock for every one share of the first $3,500,000 of Class A Common stock the Executive initially purchases, pursuant to the terms of the Equity Documents (as such term is defined in Section 7(c)
below). In each case described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the per share purchase price was equal to, effectively (after taking into account any recapitalization or other corporate

  

 3 

 
restructuring that results in or effects the per share price), the same price per share paid by Fusion Acquisition LLC (the “KKR Investor”) for its shares of Class A Common
Stock purchased as of the Original Effective Date. 
 b. In addition to the foregoing and pursuant to the Equity Documents,
upon the Original Effective Date, Executive received a one-time grant of Class A Common Stock having an aggregate value, as of the Original Effective Date, equal to $1,000,000 (the “Grant Shares”), which Class A Common
Stock is 100% vested and nonforfeitable by the Executive, but subject to the restrictions set forth in the Equity Documents. Executive paid VHC the par value in respect of the Grant Shares. 

c. Executive’s equity participation in VHC has been documented pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key
Employees of VHC and its Subsidiaries (the “Stock Option Plan”) and in a Management Stockholders’ Agreement, Stock Option Agreement, Restricted Stock Award Agreement and Sale Participation Agreement, each as executed by the
Executive, the Company, and its shareholders, as applicable in such forms as are attached hereto (such documents, collectively, the “Equity Documents”). The Company and Executive each acknowledges that the terms and conditions of
the aforementioned documents govern Executive’s acquisition, holding, sale or other disposition of Executive’s equity in the Company, and all of Executive’s and the Company’s rights with respect thereto. 

8. Termination. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either party at any time and for any reason;
provided that Executive will be required to give VHC at least 60 days advance written notice of any resignation of Executive’s employment without Good Reason (other than due to Executive’s death or Disability). In the event that VHC
terminates Executive’s employment in accordance with the foregoing sentence VHC may, in its sole discretion, prohibit Executive from entering the premises of VHC for all or any portion of the period after giving him notice of such termination.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8 shall exclusively govern Executive’s rights upon termination of employment with the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Section 8 shall diminish Executive’s rights with respect to the Equity Documents, which shall continue to govern Executive’s equity holdings following any termination in accordance therewith. 

a. By VHC For Cause or By Executive Without Good Reason. 

(i) The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by VHC for Cause (as defined below) and shall
terminate automatically upon Executive’s resignation without Good Reason (other than due to Executive’s death or Disability); provided that Executive will be required to give VHC at least 60 days advance written notice of such
resignation. 
 (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (A) Executive’s willful and
continued failure to perform his material duties with respect to VHC or its subsidiaries as provided hereunder which continues beyond 10 days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Company; (B) the
willful or intentional engaging by Executive in conduct that causes material and demonstrable injury, monetarily or 

 

 4 

 
otherwise, to VHC or the Investors (as defined in the Management Stockholders’ Agreement) or their respective Affiliates (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) ; (C) the commission of a
crime constituting (x) a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or (y) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or (D) a material breach of this Agreement or any of the Equity Documents by Executive,
including, without limitation, engaging in any action in breach of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 9 and 10 of this Agreement, which continues beyond 10 days after a written demand to cure such breach is delivered to Executive by
VHC (to the extent that, in the Board’s reasonable judgment, such breach can be cured); provided that any termination under clauses (A) through (D) above for Cause shall require the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members
of the Board (or such higher percentage or procedures required under the Stockholders Agreement, dated the Original Effective Date, among VHC and the Investors (the “Stockholders Agreement”)). 

(iii) If Executive’s employment is terminated by VHC for Cause or if Executive resigns without Good Reason (as defined in
Section 8(c)), Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company: 
 (A) a lump sum payment of the
Base Salary that is earned by Executive but unpaid as of the Date of Termination (as such term is defined in Section 8(d) below), paid within ten (10) business days after the Date of Termination; 

(B) a lump sum payment of any Annual Bonus that is earned by Executive but unpaid as of the Date of Termination for any
previously completed Fiscal Year, paid within ten (10) business days after the Date of Termination; 
 (C) a
lump sum payment equal to all vacation pay that is accrued in respect of Executive’s unused vacation days as of the Date of Termination, paid within ten (10) business days after the Date of Termination; 

(D) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Executive in accordance with Company policy
referenced in Section 6(d) above prior to the Date of Termination (with such reimbursements to be paid promptly after Executive provides VHC with the necessary documentation of such expenses to the extent required by such policy); 

(E) if applicable, the transfer of the Life Insurance Policy pursuant to Section 6(c) above; and 

(F) such Employee Benefits, if any, as to which Executive may be entitled under the applicable Company Plans upon
termination of employment hereunder, (the payments and benefits described clauses (A) through (F) hereof being referred to, collectively, as the “Accrued Rights). 

Following such termination of Executive’s employment by VHC for Cause or resignation by Executive, except as set forth in this
Section 8(a)(iii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
  

 5 

 b. Disability or Death. 

(i) Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death and may be terminated by VHC if Executive becomes
physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of six (6) consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine (9) months in any eighteen (18) consecutive month period to perform Executive’s duties (such
incapacity is hereinafter referred to as “Disability”). Any question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and VHC cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician
mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. If Executive and VHC cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in
writing. The determination of Disability hereunder shall be made in a writing that is promptly provided to VHC and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement. 

(ii) Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for either Disability or death, Executive or Executive’s estate (as
the case may be) shall be entitled to receive from the Company: 
 (A) the Accrued Rights; and 

(B) a lump sum payment of the pro rata portion (based upon the number of days in the applicable Fiscal Year during which
Executive was employed with VHC through the Date of Termination, relative to the number of days in the applicable Fiscal Year) of the Annual Bonus, if any, that Executive would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Incentive Plan in respect
of the Fiscal Year in which the Date of Termination occurs, paid within fifteen (15) days after the Date of Termination. 
 Following
Executive’s termination of employment due to Executive’s death or Disability, except as set forth in this Section 8(b)(ii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

 c. By VHC Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. 

(i) Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated (A) by VHC without Cause (which shall not include Executive’s
termination of employment due to his death or Disability) or (B) by Executive for Good Reason (as defined below). 
 (ii)
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (A) a reduction in Executive’s rate of Base Salary or annual incentive compensation opportunity (other than (x) as provided in Section 4 above with respect
to Fiscal Year 2010 or (y) a general reduction in base salary or annual incentive compensation opportunities that affects all members of senior management of VHC equally, which general reduction shall only be implemented by the Board after
consultation with Executive); (B) a material reduction in Executive’s duties and responsibilities as set forth in Section 2 above, an adverse change in Executive’s titles as set forth in Section 2 above or the assignment to
Executive of duties or responsibilities materially inconsistent with such titles; provided, however, in no event shall any of the foregoing be deemed to occur by virtue of the removal of Executive from the position of Chairman of the Board
following the completion of a Public Offering; or (C) a transfer of the Executive’s primary 
  

 6 

 
workplace by more than twenty miles outside of Armonk, New York; provided, however, that, “Good Reason” shall not be deemed to exist unless Executive provides VHC with written
notice setting forth the event or circumstance giving rise to “Good Reason” and VHC fails to cure such event or circumstance within 30 days following the date of such notice. 

(iii) If Executive’s employment is terminated by VHC without Cause (including by virtue of the Company’s failure to renew the
Employment Term at any time, but excluding by reason of Executive’s death or Disability) or by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company: 

(A) the Accrued Rights; 

(B) subject to Executive’s continued compliance with the provisions of Sections 9 and 10, (1) a lump sum payment
equal to the pro-rated portion (based upon the number of days in the applicable Fiscal Year during which Executive was employed with VHC through the Date of Termination, relative to the number of days in the applicable Fiscal Year) of the Annual
Bonus that Executive would otherwise have been entitled to receive if he had remained employed through the end of the Fiscal Year in which the Date of Termination occurs, paid at such time as such Annual Bonus would otherwise have been paid and
(2) $4,200,000.00, payable in equal monthly installments over the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on the Date of Termination (the “Severance Period”); and 

(C) (1) continuation of welfare benefits (pursuant to the same benefit plans as in effect for active employees of the
Company) until the earlier to occur of the end of the Severance Period and the date on which Executive commences to be eligible for coverage under comparable welfare benefit plans from any subsequent employer, or (2) cash in an amount that
allows Executive to purchase equivalent welfare benefit plan coverage for the Severance Period. 
 Following Executive’s termination of
employment by VHC without Cause (including by virtue of the Company’s failure to renew the Employment Term at any time, but excluding by reason of Executive’s death or Disability) or by Executive for Good Reason, except as set forth in
this Section 8(c)(iii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement or under any other severance or termination benefit plan maintained by VHC or its Affiliates. 

d. Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of employment by VHC or by Executive (other than due to Executive’s
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 14(g)) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall
indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the provision so indicated. For purposes of
this Agreement, the “Date of Termination” shall mean the date the Notice of Termination is given to the respective party; provided, however, that (i) with respect to a termination for Cause by the Company, the Date of
Termination shall not occur prior to the expiration of any applicable Cure Period and (ii) upon a nonrenewal of the Employment Term by either party, the date the Employment Term expires, and not the date of the notice itself, shall constitute
the applicable Date of Termination. 
  

 7 

 e. Board/Committee Resignation. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for
any reason, Executive agrees to resign, as of the date of such termination and to the extent applicable, from the Board (and any committees thereof) and the board of directors (and any committees thereof) of any of the Company’s Affiliates.

 f. Termination of Agreement Upon a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Agreement to
the contrary, except as otherwise provided in this Section 8(f) below, this Agreement, and all obligations of the Company and Executive, respectively, contained herein, shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date on which the
consummation of any transaction that constitutes a Change in Control (as defined under the Equity Documents) occurs (the “Agreement Termination Date”). 

(i) Effective as of the Agreement Termination Date, the Company shall pay to Executive a lump sum payment equal to $4,200,000.00.

 (ii) At any time on or after the Agreement Termination Date that Executive’s employment with the Company terminates,
for any reason, as of the date of such termination of employment: (A) Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company all Accrued Rights and (B) so long as such date of termination occurs after Fiscal Year 2010 and such termination
is not by the Company for Cause, the Company shall pay to Executive a lump sum payment equal to the pro-rated portion (based upon the number of days in the applicable fiscal year of the Company during which Executive was employed with the Company
through the date that Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, relative to the number of days in such applicable fiscal year) of the target annual cash bonus that Executive may have been eligible to receive in respect of such fiscal
year. 
 (iii) This Section 8(f), along with Section 6(c) and Sections 13, 14, 15 and 16, shall survive any
termination of this Agreement under this Section 8(f). 
 9. Non-Competition. 

a. Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates and
accordingly agrees as follows: 
 (i) During the Employment Term and, for a period of two years following the
date Executive ceases to be employed by the Company (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, firm, partnership, joint venture,
association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever (“Person”), directly or indirectly solicit or assist in soliciting in engaging in a Competitive Business (as such term is defined below) any
customer or prospective customer: 
 (A) with whom Executive had personal contact or dealings on behalf of the
Company during the one-year period preceding Executive’s termination of employment; or 
  

 8 

 (B) with whom employees directly reporting to Executive have had personal
contact or dealings on behalf of the Company of which Executive is aware during the one year immediately preceding Executive’s termination of employment. 

(ii) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not directly or indirectly: 

(A) act as a proprietor, investor, director, officer, employee, substantial stockholder, consultant, or partner in any

of clauses (1) through (3) and in North America, Latin America and Europe in the case of clauses (4) and (5) (any of the foregoing activities described in this clause A, a “Competitive Business”); 

(B) enter the employ of, or render any services to, any Person (or any division or controlled or controlling Affiliate of
any Person) who or which engages in a Competitive Business, provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Executive from being employed by such a competing entity so long as (1) neither Executive nor his employer competes with the
Company or the Investors and (2) Executive does not help or have authority over any of the related entities that are Competitive Businesses; 

(C) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Competitive Business, directly or
indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or 

(D) knowingly interfere with, or knowingly attempt to interfere with, business relationships (whether formed before, on or
after the Original Effective Date) between the Company or any of its Affiliates and customers, clients, suppliers, partners, members or investors of the Company or its Affiliates. 

(E) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Executive may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an
investment, securities of any Person engaged in a Competitive Business which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if Executive (x) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group
which controls, such person and (y) does not, directly or indirectly, own 2% or more of any class of securities of such Person. 

(iii) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with

 9 

 (B) hire any such employee in the active employ of the Company or its
Affiliates. 
 (iv) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage to cease to

Business. 
 b. It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions
contained in this Section 9 to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against
Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable.
Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of
any of the other restrictions contained herein. 
 10. Confidentiality. 

a. Executive will not at any time (whether during or after Executive’s employment with the Company), except when required to perform
his or her duties to VHC or one of its Affiliates, (x) retain or use for the benefit, purposes or account of Executive or any other Person; or (y) disclose, divulge, reveal, communicate, share, transfer or provide access to any Person
outside the Company or its Affiliates (other than its professional advisers who are bound by confidentiality obligations), any non-public, proprietary or confidential information —including without limitation rates, trade secrets, know-how,
research and development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and other intellectual property, information concerning finances, investments, profits, pricing, costs, products, services, vendors, customers,
clients, partners, investors, personnel, compensation, recruiting, training, advertising, sales, marketing, promotions, government and regulatory activities and approvals — concerning the past, current or future business, activities and
operations of the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates and/or any third party that has disclosed or provided any of same to the Company on a confidential basis (“Confidential Information”) without the prior written authorization
of the Board. 
 b. “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that is (a) generally
known to the industry or the public other than as a result of Executive’s breach of this covenant or any breach of other confidentiality obligations by third parties; (b) made legitimately available to Executive by a third party without
breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (c) required by law or judicial process to be disclosed; provided that Executive shall give prompt written notice to VHC of such requirement and cooperate with any attempts by the Company to
obtain a protective order or similar treatment. 
  

 10 

 c. Except as required by law or judicial process, Executive will not disclose to anyone,
other than Executive’s immediate family, legal and/or financial advisors, the existence or contents of this Agreement; provided that Executive may disclose to any prospective future employer the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 of this
Agreement. 
 d. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with VHC for any reason, Executive shall (x) cease and
not thereafter commence use of any Confidential Information or intellectual property (including without limitation, any patent, invention, copyright, trade secret, trademark, trade name, logo, domain name or other source indicator) owned by the
Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates; (y) immediately destroy, delete, or return to the Company, at the Company’s option, all originals and copies in any form or medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters
and other data) in Executive’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in Executive’s office, home, laptop or other computer, whether or not Company property) that contain Confidential Information or
otherwise relate to any material aspects of the business of the Company, its Affiliates or subsidiaries (and which the retention or use thereof would reasonably be expected to result in a demonstrable injury to the Company), except that Executive
may retain only those portions of any personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain any Confidential Information; and (z) notify and fully cooperate with the Company regarding the delivery or destruction of any other Confidential
Information of which Executive is or becomes aware.

premises of, divulge, disclose, communicate, reveal, transfer or provide access to, or share with the Company any confidential, proprietary or non-public information or intellectual property relating to a former employer or other third party without
the prior written permission of such third party. Executive hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to defend the Company and its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives from any breach of the foregoing covenant.
During the Employment Term, Executive shall comply with all relevant written policies and guidelines of the Company which have been made available or disclosed to him, including regarding the protection of Confidential Information and intellectual
property and potential conflicts of interest. Executive acknowledges that the Company may amend any such policies and guidelines from time to time, and that Executive remains at all times bound by their most current version; provided, however, that
Executive shall not be bound by any such amendments unless and until Executive receives in writing notice of such amendments and copies thereof are made available or disclosed to him. 

11. Equity Purchase Rights. Executive shall have the right to purchase his Pro Rata Portion (as defined in the Stockholders
Agreement) of Equity Purchase Shares (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) under Sections 4.1(a) and (b) of the Stockholders’ Agreement. Any Equity Purchase Shares purchased by Executive shall be governed by the terms and
conditions of the Equity Documents. 
 12. Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 9 or Section 10 would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In
recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in 
  

 11 

 
the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit
otherwise required by this Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. 

13. Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 12, any other dispute arising out of or asserting breach of this Agreement, or
any statutory or common law claim by Executive relating to his employment under this Agreement or the termination thereof (including any tort or discrimination claim), shall be exclusively resolved by binding statutory arbitration in accordance with
the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration process shall take place in New York, New York. A court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. Each party shall
pay the costs and expenses of arbitration (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by such party in connection with any dispute arising out of or asserting breach of this Agreement.

regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 b. Entire Agreement/Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than
those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto. 

c. No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be
considered a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. 

d. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 

e. Joint and Several Liability; Assignment. 

(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 14(e)(ii), each of VHC and Jostens shall be jointly and severally liable for any
obligations of VHC or the Company to Executive under this Agreement. 
 (ii) This Agreement, and all of Executive’s rights
and duties hereunder, shall not be assignable or delegable by Executive; provided, however, that if Executive shall die, all amounts then payable to Executive hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this

  

 12 

 
Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such devisee, legatee or designee, to Executive’s estate. Any purported assignment or delegation by
Executive in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect. This Agreement shall be assigned to any successor in interest to substantially all of the business operations of VHC, and to any successor in
interest to substantially all of the business operations of Jostens. Upon either such assignment, the rights and obligations of VHC, Jostens and the Company hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the applicable successor person or
entity. Further, VHC and Jostens will require any successor (whether, direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of VHC or Jostens, as applicable, to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that VHC, Jostens and the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. On and after any such succession, as used in this
Agreement, the terms “VHC”, “Jostens” and “the Company” shall mean, respectively, VHC, Jostens, the Company, and any successor to the business and/or assets of VHC or Jostens, as applicable, which
is required by this Section 14(e)(ii) to assume and agree to perform this Agreement or which otherwise assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement; provided, however, in the event that any successor, as described above, agrees to
assume this Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence, as of the date such successor so assumes this Agreement, VHC shall cease to be liable for any of the obligations contained in this Agreement. 

f. Set Off; Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided
hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and the amount of any
payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of Executive’s other employment or otherwise. 

g. Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or overnight courier or three days after it has been mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses

Company requests such cooperation with reasonable advance notice to Executive and in respect of such periods of time as shall not unreasonably interfere with Executive’s ability to perform his duties with any subsequent employer;
provided, however, that the Company shall pay any reasonable travel, lodging and related expenses that Executive may incur in connection with providing all such cooperation, to the extent approved by the Company prior to incurring such
expenses. 
 j. Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal,
state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 k.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 

15. Excise Taxes. 

a. In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or distribution (or combination thereof) by the Company, any of its
Affiliates, one or more trusts established by VHC or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of its employees, or any other person or entity, to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any Company Plan, the Stock Option Plan and any stock option and/or restricted stock or
restricted stock unit or other incentive compensation arrangement, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) by reason of being “contingent on a change in ownership or control” of 

 

 14 

 
the Company, within Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax,
together with any such interest and penalties, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive from VHC an additional payment or payments (a “Gross-Up Payment”)
in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including 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 the Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. 

b. Subject to the provisions of Section 15(a) hereof, all determinations required to be made under this Section 15, including
whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be
designated by the Company, and reasonably satisfactory to Executive (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to VHC and Executive within fifteen (15) business days of Termination Date,
or such earlier time as is requested by the Company; provided that for purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to individuals in
the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made and deemed to pay state and local income taxes at the highest effective rates applicable to individuals in the state or locality of Executive's residence or place of employment in
the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, taking into account limitations applicable to individuals
subject to federal income tax at the highest marginal rates. 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 15, shall be paid by VHC to Executive
(or to the appropriate taxing authority on Executive's behalf) when due immediately prior to the date Executive is required to make payment of any Excise Tax or other taxes. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by
Executive, it shall so indicate to Executive in writing, with an opinion that Executive has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his/her federal state, local income or other tax return. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall
be binding upon VHC and the Executive absent a contrary determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that no such determination shall eliminate or reduce the Company’s
obligation to provide any Gross-Up Payment that shall be due as a result of such contrary determination. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) and the possibility of
similar uncertainty regarding state or local tax law at the time of any determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment determined by the Accounting Firm to be due to (or on behalf of) Executive
was lower than the amount actually due (the “Underpayment”). In the event that VHC exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 15(c) below, and 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 as promptly as possible and notify VHC and Executive of such calculations, and any such Underpayment (including the Gross-Up Payment to Executive) shall be promptly paid by VHC to
or for the benefit of Executive within five (5) business days after receipt of such determination and calculations. 
  

 15 

 c. Executive shall notify VHC in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that,
if successful, would require the payment by VHC of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise VHC
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 thirty (30) day period following the date on which he gives such notice to VHC (or such
shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If VHC notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall (w) give VHC any
information which is in Executive's possession reasonably requested by VHC relating to such claim, (x) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as VHC 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, (y) cooperate with VHC in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim, and (z) permit VHC to participate in
any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that VHC 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
Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing
provisions of this Section 15, VHC shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego 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 VHC shall determine; provided, further, that if VHC directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, VHC shall pay
the amount of such payment to Executive, and Executive shall use such amount received to pay such claim, and VHC shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties
with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such payment (including the applicable Gross-Up Payment); provided, further, that if Executive is required to extend the statute of
limitations to enable VHC to contest such claim, Executive may limit this extension solely to such contested amount. 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. 

d. If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount paid or advanced by VHC pursuant to this Section 15, Executive becomes entitled
to receive any refund with respect to a Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall (subject to the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 15(c)) promptly pay to VHC the amount of such refund received (together with any interest paid or
credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto) (or, to the extent such payment would be deemed prohibited by applicable law, shall be treated as a 

 

 16 

 
prepayment by VHC of any amounts owed to Executive). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by VHC pursuant to Section 15(c), a determination is made that Executive shall
not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and VHC does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then such advance shall
be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such payment made to Executive thereunder shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 

e. Any payments that VHC is required to pay to or on behalf of Executive pursuant to this Section 15 shall be paid to Executive
within the time periods specified under Section 15(a)–(d) above; provided, however, that in no event shall such payments be made later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year during which Executive remits the
corresponding Excise Tax payments to any taxing authority or incurs the corresponding expenses. 
 16. Section 409A.

 In the event that it is reasonably determined by VHC that, as a result of Section 409A, any of the payments that
Executive is entitled to under the terms of this Agreement or any nonqualified deferred compensation plan (as defined under Section 409A) may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms hereof or thereof, as the case may be, without
causing Executive to incur additional taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A, VHC will make such payment on the first day that would not result in Executive incurring any tax liability under Section 409A, which day, if Executive
is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, shall be the first day following the six-month period beginning on the date of Executive’s termination of employment. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment
made under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of the Section 409A, and references herein to Executive’s “termination of employment” shall refer to Executive’s separation
from service with VHC within the meaning of Section 409A. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any such reimbursements or in-kind
benefits shall be paid to Executive in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).
