 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the
mutual covenants, understandings, representations, warranties, undertakings and promises hereinafter set forth, intending to be legally bound thereby, the Parties agree as follows: 

 

	 	1.	Section 2(a) of the Employment Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

“Position. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In performing his
duties hereunder, Executive shall report directly to the Board. If reasonably requested by the Board, Executive hereby agrees to serve (without additional compensation) as an officer and director of any member of the “Affinion Group” (as

felony or a crime of moral turpitude; (ii) conduct that constitutes fraud or embezzlement; (iii) willful misconduct or willful gross neglect; (iv) continued willful failure to

provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware
will control the interpretation and construction of this Amendment, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. 

 

	 	10.	This Amendment may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same
agreement.

 Exhibit 10.5 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT by and among
AFFINION GROUP HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), AFFINION GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Affinion”, together with the
“Company,” the “Companies”), and MARK GIBBENS (“Executive”) (collectively the “Parties”) is made as of September 20, 2012 (the “Effective Date”). 

WHEREAS, the Companies desire to employ Executive pursuant to the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this employment
agreement (the “Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, Executive desires to accept his employment on such terms,
provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the
mutual covenants, understandings, representations, warranties, undertakings and promises hereinafter set forth, intending to be legally bound thereby, the Parties agree as follows: 

Section 1. Employment Period. Subject to earlier termination in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement, Executive
shall be employed by the Companies for a period commencing on October 1, 2012 (the “Start Date”) and ending on the first anniversary of the Start Date (the “Employment Period”); provided, however,
that the Employment Period shall automatically be renewed for successive one (1) year periods thereafter unless either the Company or Executive gives at least ninety (90) days’ written notice of its intention not to renew the
Employment Period. Upon Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall, at the request of the Company, immediately resign all positions with the Companies or any of their respective subsidiaries or
affiliates, including any position as a member of any of the Companies’ Board of Directors. 
 Section 2. Terms of
Employment. 
 (a) Position. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and will perform such duties and exercise such supervision with regard to the business of the Company as are associated with such positions, including being responsible for the general financial
matters of the Company and its subsidiaries and such other duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company reasonably consistent with such positions. Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. If reasonably requested by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), Executive hereby agrees to serve (without additional compensation) as an officer and director of any member of the
“Affinion Group” (as defined in Section 5(a) below). 
 (b) Duties. During the Employment
Period, Executive shall have such responsibilities, duties, and authority that are customary for his positions, subject at all times to the control of the Board, and shall perform such services as customarily are provided by an executive of a
corporation with his positions and such other services consistent with his positions, as shall be assigned to him from time to time by the Board. 

  
 1 

 
Executive agrees to devote all of his business time to the business and affairs of the Companies and to use Executive’s commercially reasonable efforts to perform faithfully, effectively and
efficiently his responsibilities and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from (i) serving on civic or charitable boards or committees and (ii) managing personal investments, so long
as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities hereunder. In addition, subject to the approval of the Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel of the Company in their sole discretion, if
Executive is requested to join the board of directors of another private, or public company or investment fund (an “Entity”) and will be able to perform his duties hereunder despite the effort required for such board position,
Executive may serve as a board member of said Entity. 
 (c) Compensation. 

(i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Executive shall receive an initial annual base salary in an amount
equal to Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000), less all applicable withholdings, which shall be paid in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company (as in effect from time to time, the “Annual Base Salary”).
The Annual Base Salary shall be subject to annual review and increases, and the Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced without Executive’s consent, unless the reduction is related to a broader compensation reduction that is not limited to
Executive and does not exceed 10% of his Annual Base Salary. For purposes of this Agreement, the definition of Annual Base Salary shall include all such increases, if any. 

(ii) Bonuses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall establish a bonus plan for each fiscal year of the
Company (each, the “Plan”) pursuant to which Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Bonus”). The Compensation Committee of the Board will administer the Plan and at such time as the Company
becomes subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), establish in advance performance objectives for each year in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code. In the event that
the Company achieves the target established in the Plan based on actual performance, Executive shall be eligible to receive a Bonus in an amount equal to 100% of Executive’s Annual Base Salary (“Target Bonus”). Subject to
Section 4, Executive will be entitled to receive the Bonus only upon the Company’s achievement of the specified performance objectives and if Executive is employed on the last day of the applicable fiscal year. The Bonus shall become
payable in the following fiscal year on or before March 15 provided that the Compensation Committee certifies that the Company has achieved the applicable performance objectives and determines the amount of the bonus that shall be paid to each
executive entitled to receive a bonus for the applicable fiscal year. 
 (iii) Signing Bonus. In addition,
the Company shall pay to Executive a one-time signing bonus of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Signing Bonus”). The Signing Bonus shall be paid by the Company to Executive upon the completion of ninety (90) days
of employment following the Start Date; 

  
 2 

 
provided, however, that in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or by Executive other than for Good Reason (as
defined below) prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Start Date, Executive shall promptly repay the full amount of the Signing Bonus to the Company. 

(iv) Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate in all retirement,
compensation and employee benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Companies to the extent applicable generally to other senior executives of the Companies (except severance plans, policies, practices, or programs) subject to
the eligibility criteria set forth therein, as such may be amended or terminated from time to time. 
 (v)
Expenses. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in performance of his duties hereunder provided that Executive provides all necessary
documentation in accordance with the Companies’ policies. 
 (vi) Car Allowance. During the
Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to receive a monthly car allowance equal to $1,445.00, subject to applicable taxes, in accordance with the Companies’ policy. 

(vii) Equity Awards. During the Employment Period, Executive will be eligible to receive equity awards under the
Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. 2007 Stock Award Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), or such other equity plan of the Companies as in effect from time to time, which will be determined by the Board (or its designee), in its sole
discretion, and communicated to you under separate cover. As soon as practicable following the Start Date and subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company, Executive will be granted an option to purchase 200,000 shares of
common stock under the Plan with a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of common stock on the grant date. 
 (viii) Relocation. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable costs incurred in connection with his relocation to the Stamford, Connecticut area, including (A) temporary lodging, to
the extent reasonably necessary, through December 31, 2012, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through such date, (B) reasonable costs incurred in connection with the sale of Executive’s existing home,
including brokerage and legal costs, (C) reasonable costs incurred in connection with the closing of a home purchase by Executive in the Stamford, Connecticut area, and (D) shipment (but excluding storage) of Executive’s personal
effects, in each case, upon reasonable substantiation. In addition, Executive will be eligible to receive a relocation allowance equal to $15,000, on a grossed-up basis, towards any additional expenses incurred in connection with Executive’s
relocation. Executive’s relocation to the Stamford, Connecticut area must occur within twelve (12) months following the Effective Date. The Company will reimburse expenses 

  
 3 

 
associated with Executive’s relocation from Paris up to a maximum amount of €50,000, less the amount of any expenses reimbursed by Executive’s previous employer. 

Section 3. Termination of Employment. 

(a) Death or Disability. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death. If
Executive becomes subject to a “Disability” (as defined below) during the Employment Period, the Company may give Executive written notice in accordance with Sections 3(g) and 10(g) of its intention to terminate Executive’s
employment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means (i) Executive’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be
expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (ii) Executive is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or
can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident or health plan covering employees of the Companies. 

(b) Cause. Executive’s employment may be terminated at any time by the Company for “Cause” (as
defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean Executive’s (i) conviction of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude; (ii) conduct that constitutes fraud or embezzlement; (iii) willful
misconduct or willful gross neglect; (iv) continued willful failure to substantially perform his duties as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; or (v) a material breach by Executive of this Agreement; provided that in the
event of a termination pursuant to clause (iv) or (v), to the extent such failure to perform duties or material breach is subject to cure, the Company shall have notified Executive in writing describing such failure to perform duties or
material breach and Executive shall have failed to cure such failure to perform or breach within 30 days after his receipt of such written notice. 
 (c) Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause at any time. 

(d) Good Reason. Executive’s employment may be terminated at any time by Executive for Good Reason upon 60
days’ prior written notice following the occurrence of the event giving rise to the termination for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means voluntary resignation after any of the following actions taken
by the Companies without Executive’s consent: (i) any material failure of the Companies to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement, (ii) a material and adverse change to, or a material reduction of, Executive’s duties and
responsibilities to the Companies, (iii) a reduction in Executive’s Annual Base Salary or Target Bonus (excluding any diminution related to a broader compensation reduction that is not limited to Executive specifically and that is not more
than 10% in the aggregate or any diminution to which Executive consented) or (iv) the relocation of Executive’s primary office to a location more than 35 miles from the prior location; provided that any such event shall not
constitute Good Reason unless and until Executive shall have provided the 

  
 4 

 
Companies with notice thereof no later than 60 days following the occurrence of such event and the Companies shall have failed to remedy such event within 30 days of receipt of such notice.

 (e) Voluntary Termination. Executive’s employment may be terminated at any time by Executive
without Good Reason upon 90 days’ prior written notice. 
 (f) Termination as a Result of Non-Renewal of
the Employment Period by the Company. The expiration of the Employment Period, and the termination of Executive’s employment upon the date of such expiration, on account of the Company giving notice to Executive of its desire not to extend
the Employment Period in accordance with Section 1, shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a termination without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a). 

(g) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or without Cause, or by Executive for Good
Reason or without Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 10(g). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice that
(i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s
employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the “Date of Termination” (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date. The failure by Executive or the Company to set
forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of Executive or the Company hereunder or preclude Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder. 
 (h) Date of
Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, without Cause or by reason of Disability, or by Executive for Good Reason or without Good Reason, the date
of receipt of the Notice of Termination (in the case of a termination with or without Good Reason, provided such Date of Termination is in accordance with Section 3(d) or Section 3(e)) or any later date specified therein pursuant to
Section 3(g), as the case may be, (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death, the date of death, and (iii) the expiration of the Employment Period, and the termination of Executive’s employment upon the
date of such expiration, on account of the Company giving notice to Executive of its desire not to extend the Employment Period in accordance with Section 3(f). 
 Section 4. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. 

(a) With Good Reason; Without Cause. If during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate Executive’s
employment without Cause or Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Company will provide Executive with the following payments and/or benefits: 

(i) The Company shall pay to Executive as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than sixty (60) days following
the Date of Termination in a lump sum to the extent not previously paid, (A) the Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, and (B) the Bonus earned for any fiscal year ended prior to the year in which the Date of Termination
occurs, provided that Executive was employed on the last day of such fiscal year (“Accrued Obligations”); and 
 (ii) The Company will pay Executive, an amount equal to 100% of the sum of (A) Executive’s Annual Base Salary and (B) Executive’s Target Bonus (the “Severance
Payments”) such amounts to be paid on a monthly basis over a twenty-four (24) month period. 

  
 5 

 (b) Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment shall be
terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, then the Company will provide Executive with the following severance payments and/or benefits: the Company shall pay Executive or his legal representatives (i) the Accrued
Obligations; (ii) a lump sum equal to 100% of Executive’s Annual Base Salary; and (iii) the continuation of death or Disability benefits thereafter in accordance with the terms of such plans of the Companies then in effect (the
payments and benefits described in clauses (ii) and (iii), the “Severance Benefits”). Thereafter, the Companies shall have no further obligation to Executive or his legal representatives. 

(c) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause
or by Executive without Good Reason, then the Companies shall have no further obligations to Executive other than for payment of the Accrued Obligations and any indemnification rights he may have pursuant to Section 9. 

(d) Separation Agreement and General Release. The Company’s obligations to make payments under Sections
4(a)(ii) or 4(b) are conditioned on Executive’s or his legal representative’s executing a separation agreement and general release of claims against the Companies and their respective affiliates (and their respective officers and
directors) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to changes as maybe warranted to be made to such release to preserve the intent thereof for changes in applicable laws; provided, that, if
Executive should fail to execute (or revokes) such release within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination, the Company shall not have any obligation to provide the Severance Payments or Severance Benefits contemplated under this
Section 4. The Severance Payments or Severance Benefits, as the case may be, shall be paid in full or begin to be paid, as the case may be, on the first payroll period occurring after Executive executes such release and Executive does not
revoke such release within seven (7) days after executing such release; provided, further, that, if the Date of Termination occurs within the last sixty (60) days of any calendar year, then any Severance Payments that
are otherwise payable during such sixty (60) day period shall be accumulated and paid, as the case may be, on the first payroll period occurring in the calendar year following the Date of Termination subject to Executive’s (or his legal
representative’s) executing and not revoking such separation agreement and release. 

  
 6 

 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the payments
and/or benefits due under this Section 4 are determined to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, and the Company determines that Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the final regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”) and other guidance issued thereunder, then such payments and/or benefits (or portion thereof) shall commence no earlier
than the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s termination of employment (with the first such payment being a lump sum equal to the aggregate payments and/or benefits Executive would have received during such six-month period if
no such payment delay had been imposed). For purposes of this Section 4(e), “termination of employment” shall mean Executive’s “separation from service”, as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury
Regulations, including the default presumptions thereunder. 
 Section 5. Restrictive Covenants. 

(a) Non-Solicitation. During the Employment Period and ending on the third anniversary of the Executive’s
termination of employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another person or entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Companies and their respective affiliates (collectively,
the “Affinion Group”) to leave the employ of the Affinion Group, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Affinion Group, on the one hand, and any employee thereof, on the other hand, (ii) hire any person who
was an employee of the Affinion Group or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Affinion Group to cease doing business with the Affinion Group, or in any way interfere with the
relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and the Affinion Group, on the other hand. 
 (b) Non-Competition. Executive acknowledges that, in the course of his employment with the Affinion Group, Executive has become familiar, or will become familiar, with the Affinion Group’s
“Confidential Information” and that such Executive’s services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Affinion Group. Therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and ending on the
second anniversary of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason (the “Non-Compete Period”), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any business that markets, provides, administers or
makes available affinity-based membership programs, affinity-based insurance programs, benefit packages as an enhancement to financial institutions or other customer accounts or loyalty-based programs(whether as of the date hereof or during the
Non-Compete Period), anywhere in the world in which the Affinion Group is doing business. For purposes of this Section 5(b), the phrase “directly or indirectly, engage in” shall include any direct or indirect ownership or
profit participation interest in such enterprise, whether as an owner, stockholder, partner, joint venturer or otherwise, and shall include any direct or indirect participation in such enterprise as an employee, consultant, licensor of technology or
otherwise; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5(b) shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 5% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no
active participation in the business of such corporation. 

  
 7 

 (c) Non-Disclosure; Non-Use of Confidential Information. Executive
shall not disclose or use at any time, either during his employment with the Companies or at any time thereafter, any Confidential Information of which Executive is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by him, except to the
extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by Executive’s performance in good faith of duties assigned to Executive by the Company or as required by law or legal process. Executive will take all appropriate steps to
safeguard Confidential Information in his possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of his employment with the Company, or at any time the Company
may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information or the “Work Product” (as defined in Section 5(e)(ii))
of the business of the Affinion Group that Executive may then possess or have under his control. 
 (d)
Proprietary Rights. Executive recognizes that the Affinion Group possesses a proprietary interest in all Confidential Information and Work Product and has the exclusive right and privilege to use, protect by copyright, patent or trademark, or
otherwise exploit the processes, ideas and concepts described therein to the exclusion of Executive, except as otherwise agreed between the Affinion Group and Executive in writing. Executive expressly agrees that any Work Product made or developed
by Executive or his agents during the course of Executive’s employment, including any Work Product which is based on or arises out of Work Product, shall be the property of and inure to the exclusive benefit of the Affinion Group. Executive
further agrees that all Work Product developed by Executive (whether or not able to be protected by copyright, patent or trademark) during the course of his employment with the Companies, or involving the use of the time, materials or other
resources of the Affinion Group, shall be promptly disclosed to the Affinion Group and shall become the exclusive property of the Affinion Group, and Executive shall execute and deliver any and all documents necessary or appropriate to implement the
foregoing. 
 (e) Certain Definitions. 

(i) As used herein, the term “Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to
the public (but for purposes of clarity, Confidential Information shall never exclude any such information that become known to the public because of Executive’s unauthorized disclosure) and that is used, developed or obtained by the Affinion
Group in connection with its business, including, but not limited to, information, observations and data obtained by Executive while employed by the Affinion Group or any predecessors thereof concerning (A) the business or affairs of the
Affinion Group, (B) products or services, (C) fees, costs and pricing structures, (D) designs, (E) analyses, (F) drawings, photographs and reports, (G) computer software, including operating systems, applications and
program listings, (H) flow charts, manuals and 

  
 8 

 
documentation, (I) databases, (J) accounting and business methods, (K) inventions, devices, new developments, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether
or not reduced to practice, (L) customers and clients and customer or client lists, (M) other copyrightable works, (N) all production methods, processes, technology and trade secrets, and (O) all similar and related information
in whatever form. Confidential Information will not include any information that has been published in a form generally available to the public (except as a result of Executive’s unauthorized disclosure) prior to the date Executive proposes to

 Section 8. Executive’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

 (a) Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Companies that: 

(i) Executive has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, and this Agreement has been duly executed by Executive; 
 (ii) the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive does not and will not, with or without notice or the passage of time, conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party
or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject; 
 (iii) Executive is not a party to or bound by
any employment agreement, consulting agreement, non-compete agreement, fee for services agreement, confidentiality agreement or similar agreement with any other person, except as with respect to Executive’s termination of employment with
Alcatel-Lucent and/or its subsidiaries; 
 (iv) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Companies and Executive, this Agreement will be a legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms; 
 (v) Executive understands that the Companies will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the representations and warranties of Executive set forth herein and Executive consents to such reliance; and

 (b) The Companies hereby represent and warrant to Executive that: 

(i) the Companies have all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, and this Agreement has been duly executed by the Companies; 
 (ii) the

 10 

 Section 9. Indemnification. The Company shall secure directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of Executive on terms at least equal to those applicable to the other directors and officers of the Company (which insurance, for Executive, shall provide for advancement of defense costs) and shall
indemnify Executive to the maximum extent permitted under the General Corporate Law of Delaware. 
 Section 10. General
Provisions. 
 (a) Severability. It is the desire and intent of the Parties hereto that the provisions
of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights and obligations of any party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, such provision, as
to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction; furthermore, in lieu of such invalid or
unenforceable provision there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (b) Entire Agreement and
Effectiveness. Effective as of the Effective Date, this Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings,
agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way (but excluding the Management Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2005, and any stock options
or equity awards granted under any equity compensation plans maintained by the Company or any affiliate). 
 (c)
Successors and Assigns. 
 (i) This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior written
consent of the Companies shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representatives. 

(ii) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Companies and their respective successors and
assigns. The Companies will 

  
 11 

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

(d) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN
FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME
OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. 
 (e) Enforcement. 

(i) Arbitration. Except for disputes arising under Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, any claim for injunctive relief), any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or its interpretation, application, implementation, breach or enforcement which the Parties are unable to resolve by mutual
agreement, shall be settled by submission by either Executive or the Companies of the controversy, claim or dispute to binding arbitration in New York (unless the Parties agree in writing to a different location), before a single arbitrator in
accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. In any such arbitration proceeding the Parties agree to provide all discovery deemed necessary by the arbitrator. The decision and award
made by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Parties hereto for all purposes, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its or his costs and expenses in any such
arbitration and one-half of the arbitrator’s fees and costs; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the discretion to award the prevailing party reimbursement of its or his reasonable attorney’s fees and
costs. 
 (ii) Remedies. All remedies hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies
provided for by law and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

  
 12 

 (iii) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
 (f) Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Companies and Executive and no course of conduct or failure or delay
in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of such provisions or affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

(g) Notices. Any notice provided for in this Agreement must be in writing and must be either personally delivered,
transmitted via telecopier, mailed by first class mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) to the recipient at the address below indicated or at such other address or to the
attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party. Notices will be deemed to have been given hereunder and received when delivered personally, when received if transmitted via
telecopier, five days after deposit in the U.S. mail and one day after deposit for overnight delivery with a reputable overnight courier service.

(k) Construction. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such
specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. 
 (l) Code
Section 409A. If any payments of compensation or benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if
deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant with Section 409A of the Code; otherwise, such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Company and reasonably acceptable
to Executive, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. In no event will the Companies, their executives, directors, officers, agents or representatives have any liability for this Agreement’s failure to be exempt from or
comply with Code Section 409A and such parties do not guarantee such compliance. Executive shall have no legally binding right to any distribution or payment made to him in error. 

(m) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.

2. Full Release. For the consideration set forth in the Employment Agreement, by and between the Company and Executive, dated as
of             , 201     (the “Employment Agreement”) and for other fair and valuable consideration therefor, Executive, for herself, his heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Releasors”), hereby fully releases and discharges the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, insurers, successors, and assigns,
and their respective officers, directors, officers, employees, and agents (all such persons, firms, corporations and entities being deemed beneficiaries hereof and are referred to herein as the “Company Entities”) from any and all
actions, causes of action, claims, obligations, costs, losses, liabilities, damages and demands of whatsoever character, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, which the Releasors have, from the beginning of time through the date of this
General Release, against the Company Entities arising out of or in any way related to Executive’s employment or termination of his employment; provided, however, that this shall not be a release with respect to any amounts and
benefits owed to Executive pursuant to the Employment Agreement upon termination of employment, vested and accrued amounts under employee benefit plans of the Company, or Executive’s right to indemnification and directors and officers insurance
as provided in Section 9 of the Employment Agreement. 
 3. Waiver of Rights Under Other Statutes. Executive
understands that this General Release waives all claims and rights Executive may have under certain federal, state and local statutory and regulatory laws, as each may be amended from time to time, including but not limited to, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act) (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the Equal Pay Act; the Rehabilitation Act of
1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act; and all other statutes, regulations, common law, and other laws in any and all jurisdictions (including,
but not limited to, Connecticut) that in any way relate to Executive’s employment or the termination of his employment. 

4. Informed and Voluntary Signature. No promise or inducement has been made other than those set forth in this General Release.
This General Release is executed by Executive without reliance on any representation by Company or any of its agents. Executive states that that he is fully competent to manage his business affairs and understands that he may be waiving legal rights
by signing this General Release. Executive hereby acknowledges that he has carefully read this General Release and has had the opportunity to thoroughly discuss the terms of this General Release with legal counsel of his choosing. Executive hereby
acknowledges that he fully understands the terms of this General Release and its final and binding effect and that he affixes his signature hereto voluntarily and of his own free will.

General Release, and the release contained herein, waives all of his claims and rights under the ADEA. The waiver of Executive’s rights under the ADEA does not extend to claims or rights that might arise after the date this General Release is
executed. The monies to be paid to Executive are in addition to any sums to which Executive would be entitled without signing this General Release. For a period of seven (7) days following execution of this General Release, Executive may revoke
the terms of this General Release by a written document received by the General Counsel of the Company no later than 11:59 p.m. of the seventh day following Executive’s execution of this General Release. This General Release will not be

governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to the principles of conflict of law. 
 (b) In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this General Release is held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, such provisions will be construed by
limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law. 
 (c)
This General Release may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

(d) The paragraph headings used in this General Release are included solely for convenience and shall not affect or be
used in connection with the interpretation of this General Release. 
 (e) This General Release and the
Employment Agreement represent the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be amended except in a writing signed by the Company and Executive. If any dispute should arise under this General Release,
it shall be settled in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement. 
 (f) This General Release shall
be binding on the executors, heirs, administrators, successors and assigns of Executive and the successors and assigns of Company and shall inure to the benefit of the respective executors, heirs, administrators, successors and assigns of the
Company Entities and the Releasors.
