(Time-Vesting)
*  *  *  *  *

Participant:                            

Grant Date:                            

Number of Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Units Granted:              (the “RSUs”)

*  *  *  *  *

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Jason Industries, Inc., a corporation organized in the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Jason Industries, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Company believes it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for Participant to receive the RSUs (the “Award”) provided herein to the Participant; and

WHEREAS, the Committee and the Board have authorized the grant of this Award.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein set forth, the parties mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1.Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt.  This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein.  Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning as set forth in the Plan.  The Participant hereby acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan and has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its contents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
2.    Grant of Award.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, the Award specified above, subject to the vesting criteria set forth in Section 3 below.  Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands 

	
			
	 
	 
	 

that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement.
3.    Vesting.
(a)    Time-Vesting.  The RSUs shall vest in three equal installments with the first vesting date being the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the second vesting date being the second anniversary of the Grant Date, and the third vesting date being the third anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that the Participant has not incurred a Termination of Employment prior to the applicable vesting date.  For the sake of clarity, one third (1/3) of the RSUs shall vest on each of the three vesting dates.  There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each vesting date and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate vesting date, subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on each applicable vesting date.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 3(a) are subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) through 3(g) hereof.
(b)    Committee Discretion to Accelerate Vesting. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting of the Award at any time and for any reason.
(c)    Involuntary Termination Without Cause; Voluntary Resignation For Good Reason. Subject to Section 3(d) hereof, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or there is a voluntary Termination of Employment by the Participant with Good Reason, then the portion of the Award that would have become vested on the next anniversary of the Grant Date immediately following the date of such Termination of Employment had the Participant’s Termination not occurred shall become vested as of the date of such Termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, with respect to a Participant’s Termination of Employment:  (i) in the case where there is an employment agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant on the Grant Date that defines “good reason” (or words or a concept of like import, such as “Constructive Termination”), a termination due to good reason (or words or a concept of like import), as defined in such agreement; or (ii) in any other case, the occurrence of any of the following events, without the Participant’s advance written consent: (A) any reduction in the Participant’s base salary; (B) any reduction in the Participant’s percentage of base salary available as incentive compensation or bonus opportunity,  unless such reduction occurs in connection with a corresponding increase in base salary; (C) a good faith determination by the Participant that there has been a material adverse change in the Participant’s working conditions or status with the Company or an Affiliate, including but not limited to (I) a significant negative change in the nature or scope of the Participant’s authority, powers, functions, duties or responsibilities, or (II) a significant reduction in the level of support services, staff, secretarial and other assistance, office space and accoutrements, or (III) a significant reduction in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the Participant is required to report; or (IV) the relocation of the Participant’s principal place of employment to a location more 

	
			
	 
	2
	 

than fifty (50) miles from the Participant’s then-current principal place of employment with the Company or an Affiliate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s termination shall not be considered to have occurred for “Good Reason” pursuant to clause (ii) above, unless (A) within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of one of the events listed above the Participant provides written notice to the Company setting forth the specific event constituting Good Reason, (B) the Company fails to remedy the event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Participant’s notice, and (C) the Participant actually terminates his or her employment with the Company and its Affiliates within thirty (30) days following the end of the Company’s remedy period.
(d)    Termination in Connection with a Change in Control.  In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Employment (i) by the Company without Cause,  (ii) by voluntary resignation by the Participant with Good Reason, or (iii) due to the Participant’s death or Disability, in each case, during the period beginning ninety (90) days prior to the consummation of a Change in Control and ending two years following the date of consummation of a Change in Control, then any unvested portion of Award that would have been forfeited on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment shall become fully vested as of the date of such Termination (or if the termination occurs prior to a Change in Control, on the date of the Change in Control).
(e)    Termination by Death or Disability. Subject to Section 3(d), if the Participant’s Termination of Employment is due to the Participant’s death or Disability, then the Award shall become fully vested as of the date of such Termination.
(f)    Voluntary Resignation. If the Participant’s Termination of Employment is voluntary other than with Good Reason, then the unvested portion of the Award shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Participant’s Termination.
(g)    Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s Termination (i) is for Cause or (ii) is a voluntary Termination (as provided in Section 3(f)) after the occurrence of an event that is then grounds for a Termination for Cause, then the entire Award, whether vested or unvested, shall thereupon be forfeited and cancelled for no value without any consideration as of the date of such Termination.
(h)    Forfeiture.  Any portion of the Award that does not become vested in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled for no value without any consideration being paid therefor and otherwise without any further action of the Company whatsoever.  For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the Award that does not become vested on or prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled as of such date for no value and without any consideration being paid therefore and otherwise without any further action of the Company whatsoever.
4.    Settlement.  Within thirty (30) days following the date of vesting, the Company shall settle the Award by issuing to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock, free and clear of all restrictions (other than as may apply under Section 9) that correspond to the number of RSUs that have become so vested on the applicable vesting date.

5.    Dividends; Rights as Stockholder.  Cash dividends paid (for dividend record dates occurring during the period from the Grant Date to the date Shares are issued hereunder pursuant to Section 4) on shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be credited to a dividend book entry account on behalf of the Participant with respect to each RSU granted to the Participant, provided that such cash dividends shall not be deemed to be reinvested in shares of Common Stock and shall be held uninvested and without interest and paid in cash at the same time that the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs are delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Stock dividends on shares of Common Stock shall be credited to a dividend book entry account on behalf of the Participant with respect to each RSU granted to the Participant, provided that such stock dividends shall be paid in shares of Common Stock at the same time that the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs are delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof.  For the sake of clarity, in the event any portion of the unvested RSUs is forfeited and cancelled in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan, any accrued dividends on shares of Common Stock underlying such forfeited RSUs shall be automatically forfeited for no value without any consideration being paid therefor and otherwise without any further action of the Company whatsoever.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying any RSU unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.
6.    Non-Transferability.  No portion of the Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by the Participant, other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the RSUs as provided herein, unless and until the Award is settled in accordance with the provisions hereof and, with respect to the RSUs, the Participant has become the holder of record of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder.
7.    Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.
8.    Withholding of Tax.  The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Award and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to settle the Award as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Participant may direct the Company to satisfy any such required withholding obligation with regard to the Participant by reducing the amount of cash or shares of Common Stock, having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the statutory maximum withholding obligation, otherwise deliverable to the Participant pursuant to Section 4.
9.    Legend.  The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, or may enter stop transfer orders consistent with the foregoing in the case of shares represented by book entry.  The Participant shall, at the 

	
			
	 
	4
	 

request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section 9.

The Company shall not be obligated to issue the RSUs or any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if any such issuance would violate any such requirements; provided, in such event as the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay to the Participant (unless otherwise prohibited by law), within thirty (30) days following the date of vesting of RSUs, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock represented by such vested RSUs.

Exhibit I
Certain Amendments to Loan Documents
[See attached]
1.Amendments to Credit Agreement.

General.  The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, from and after the Effective Date, BNYM shall be, and shall be deemed to be, the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In furtherance of the foregoing, all defined terms referencing DBNY as the Administrative Agent in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby amended to reference BNYM as the Administrative Agent thereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, BNYM will not be succeeding DBNY in its roles as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender.
Amendment to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement.  The parties hereby agree that the following definitions are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“Administrative Agent” means The Bank of New York Mellon, in its capacity as administrative agent under any of the Loan Documents, or any successor administrative agent.
“Effective Yield” shall mean, as to any Indebtedness, the effective yield on such Indebtedness consistent with generally accepted financial practices, taking into account the applicable interest rate margins, any interest rate floors (the effect of which floors shall be determined in a manner set forth in the proviso below), or similar devices and all fees, including upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (i) the remaining weighted average life to maturity of such Indebtedness and (ii) the four years following the date of incurrence thereof) payable generally to Lenders or other institutions providing such Indebtedness, but excluding any arrangement, structuring, ticking, or other similar fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders and, if applicable, consent fees for an amendment paid generally to consenting Lenders; provided that with respect to any Indebtedness that includes a “LIBOR floor” or “Base Rate floor,” (a) to the extent that the Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate (without giving effect to any floors in such definitions), as applicable, on the date that the Effective Yield is being calculated is less than such floor, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the interest rate margin for such Indebtedness for the purpose of calculating the Effective Yield and (b) to the extent that the Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate (without giving effect to any floors in such definitions), as applicable, on the date that the Effective Yield is being calculated is greater than such floor, then the floor shall be disregarded in calculating the Effective Yield. 

 “Eurocurrency Rate” means:
(a)     for any Interest Period with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date that is two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period by reference to the interest settlement rates for deposits in Dollars (as published by Reuters on page LIBOR01 of the Reuters Screen) (as set forth by (i) the Intercontinental Exchange Group, or (ii) any publicly available successor service or entity that has been authorized by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority to administer the London Interbank Offered Rate for a period equal to such Interest Period), and

(b)    for any interest calculation with respect to a Base Rate Loan on any date, the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date by reference to the interest settlement rates for deposits in Dollars (as published by Reuters on page LIBOR01 of the Reuters Screen) from time to time with a term of one month (as set forth by (i) the Intercontinental Exchange Group, or (ii) any publicly available successor service or entity that has been authorized by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority to administer the London Interbank Offered Rate),

in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, multiplied by Statutory Reserves, provided that, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to Initial Term Loans, shall not be less than 1.00% per annum; provided further that, subject to clauses (i) and (ii) of immediately succeeding sentence, if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant interest period under clause (a) or (b), the Administrative Agent shall use the Eurocurrency Rate for the immediately preceding interest period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:
		
	(i)
	subject to clause (ii) below, if on the relevant Eurocurrency determination date the relevant London interbank offered rate for U.S. dollar deposits has been discontinued, then the Administrative Agent shall use (a) an industry-accepted successor rate to the relevant London interbank offered rate for U.S. dollar deposits or (b) if no such industry-accepted successor rate exists, the most comparable substitute or successor rate to the relevant London interbank offered rate for U.S. dollar deposits, in each case as determined by a financial agent (which may be an affiliate of the Administrative Agent) appointed by the Administrative Agent; and

		
	(ii)

The Administrative Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Administrative Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith.
The Administrative Agent will not  be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

The Administrative Agent will not be liable to any person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Administrative Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, including, without limitation, SyndTrak, IntraLinks, the internet, email or similar electronic transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, in each case, except to the extent any such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or its controlling Persons, controlled Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, advisors or other representatives), nor shall the Sponsor or any Indemnitee, Loan Party or any Subsidiary have any liability for any special,  punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); it being agreed that this sentence shall not limit the indemnification obligations of any Holdco or any Subsidiary (including, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party and for any out-of-pocket expenses). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, its directors, equity holders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with reasonable backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of clauses (w) through (y) above. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, prepayments, suits, costs, expenses, charges and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claims.”
