 6. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS;
RATIFICATION OF PERFECTION CERTIFICATE. Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any license or other agreement with respect to which Borrower is the licensee (a) that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security
interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property, or (b) for which a default under or termination of could interfere with the Bank’s right to sell any Collateral. Borrower shall provide written notice
to Bank within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any such license or agreement (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Borrower shall take such steps as Bank requests to obtain the
consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (x) all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or
prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement (such consent or authorization may include a licensor’s agreement to a contingent assignment of the license to Bank if Bank determines that is necessary in its good faith
judgment), whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (y) Bank to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Bank’s rights and remedies under the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and disclosures contained in a certain Perfection Certificate, dated as of November 30, 2011, as amended and supplemented
through and as of the Tenth Loan Modification (Domestic) Effective Date with the additional disclosures attached as Exhibit A hereto, if any, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees the disclosures and information above Borrower provided to

 7. AUTHORIZATION TO
FILE. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file UCC financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to further perfect or protect Bank’s interest in the Collateral,
including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Bank under the Code. 

8. CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above. 

  
 3 

 9. RATIFICATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms, and reaffirms all terms and
conditions of each of the Loan Documents and all security or other collateral granted to the Bank, and confirms that the indebtedness secured thereby includes, without limitation, the Obligations. 

10. NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank with
respect to the Obligations, or otherwise, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and
Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder. 
 11. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the
existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing
Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the
Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly
released by Bank in writing. No maker will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. 
 12. RIGHT OF SET-OFF. In consideration of
Bank’s agreement to enter into this Loan Modification Agreement, Borrower hereby reaffirms and hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter
arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Silicon Valley Bank (including a Bank subsidiary) or in transit
to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though
unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the loan. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS
RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. 
 13.
CONFIDENTIALITY. Bank may use confidential information for the development of databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis, so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise
expressly permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Loan Agreement. 
 14.
JURISDICTION/VENUE/TRIAL WAIVER. Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Illinois in any action,
suit, or proceeding of any kind against it which arises out of or by reason of this Loan Modification Agreement. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE BANK SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN
THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH THE BANK DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE THE BANK’S RIGHTS AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND
ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. 

15. COUNTERSIGNATURE. This Loan Modification Agreement shall become effective only when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Bank.

Exhibit 10.33
MPM Holdings inc.
2015 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN (the “Plan”)

Purpose of the Plan

The Plan is sponsored by MPM Holdings Inc. (“Parent” or “MPM Holdings”) to reward associates of MPM Inc. (“MPM”) and its subsidiaries for delivering increased value by profitably growing the business and controlling costs.  The Plan is designed to link rewards with critical financial metrics for the purposes of promoting actions which are the most beneficial to the company's short-term and long-term value creation.

Plan Year

January 1, 2015 - December 31, 2015

Eligibility for Participation

Participation is based on each employee’s scope of responsibility and contribution within the organization.  Each participant is assigned to participate at the Corporate, Regional/Integrated Site, Silicones or Quartz & Ceramics Plan level.

Plan Performance Measures

The Plan targets are based on three performance criteria: EBITDA, EH&S and Cash Flow.

EBITDA (sometimes also referred to as Segment EBITDA) - Refers to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, certain other income and expenses and discontinued operations.  The achievement of EBITDA targets is a critical measure on which the investment community and future shareholders will evaluate MPM's performance in 2015.  As a result, the participants should be focused and incented to manage the business to achieve EBITDA targets.

Segment EBITDA will be measured for the Parent (“Global MPM EBITDA”), and for each of the Silicones and Quartz & Ceramics Businesses of MPM Holdings (each a “Business”).

Employees participating at the Corporate, Regional/Integrated Site, Silicones or Quartz & Ceramics Plan level have a total of 60 percent of their incentive target based on the achievement of EBITDA targets.
                                                                                                              1

EH&S - Measures environmental, health and safety results utilizing: 1) Safety Culture Program progress, 2) Occupational Injury and Illness Rate (“OIIR”), 3) Process Safety Incidents, and 4) Environmental Incidents.  Each metric will be measured for the Parent.  Two and one-half percent (2.5%) of each participant's incentive target will be based on the achievement of the four (4) applicable EH&S goals.

Cash Flow - Represents the amount of cash generated by business operations. Cash flow is defined as Segment EBITDA, net trading capital improvement and/or usage, capital spending and interest paid along with other operating cash flow items such as income taxes paid and pension contributions.  The purpose of this component is to focus on cost control and cost reduction actions to preserve an adequate amount of liquidity to fund operations and capital expenditures, service debt, and ultimately sustain the business through difficult economic cycles.  Cash Flow will be measured for the Parent and may exclude certain unusual, non-recurring items at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the MPM Holdings Board of Directors (the “Board”).  Employees participating at the Corporate, Regional/Integrated Site, Silicones or Quartz & Ceramics Plan level have a total of 30 percent of their incentive target based on the achievement of the Parent Cash Flow target. 

Target Incentive

Each eligible participant will have a target incentive opportunity expressed as a percent of his or her base salary.  Targets and plan assignment levels are determined by the participant’s country/region of employment, and the scope of his or her role and contributions within the organization.

Plan Structure

The following tables depict the structure described above.

	
				
	Plan Level
	Segment EBITDA
	EH&S

       2

Calculation of Incentive Payments

Payment based on the EBITDA measure will range from a minimum of 30% of the EBITDA incentive opportunity to a maximum of 200% of the EBITDA incentive opportunity based on applicable EBITDA achievement.  Payment based on the Cash Flow measure will range from a minimum of 50% of the Cash Flow incentive opportunity to a maximum of 200% of the Cash Flow incentive opportunity based on applicable Cash Flow achievement.  Payment based on the EH&S measures will range from 50% of the applicable EH&S incentive opportunity to a maximum of 200% of the applicable EH&S incentive opportunity based on the applicable EH&S achievement.

Calculation of EBITDA performance between the minimum, lower mid, target, upper mid and maximum performance levels will be linear, rounded to the nearest 1/10th of one percent.  There is no additional payment made for performance above the maximum level of performance.  

Each of the performance targets is measured independently such that a payout for achieving one is not dependent upon the achievement of the others.

Basis for Award Payouts

Financial Results - Any Plan payouts require the prior approval of the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Board if they are to be made before audited financial results have been formally approved and publicly announced.

Limitations - All incentive payments must be self-funded from funds generated at the Corporate, Regional/Integrated Site, Silicones or Quartz & Ceramics level only.  Neither the Plan nor any award issued hereunder shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind.  The Board may elect to modify the calculation of the annual targets based on acquisitions, divestitures or other unusual, non-recurring events or transactions that occur during the calendar year.
