Johnson Excavating Company, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (each, a “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), each an indirect subsidiary of Summit Materials, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), Transfer Agent, Registrar and Paying Agent.

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer, Summit Materials Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with the Issuer, the “Issuers”), and the Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of March 8, 2016, providing for the issuance of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.500% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Initial Notes”), as supplemented by that First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 5, 2016, and as further supplemented by that Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 25, 2016;

 

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances a Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers’ Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (each, a “Guarantee”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows:

 

(1)                                 Capitalized Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

(2)                                 Agreement to Guarantee.  Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of the Indenture and all other documents it deems necessary to review in order to enter into this Supplemental Indenture, and acknowledge and agree to (i) join and become a party to the Indenture as indicated by its signature below; (ii) be bound by the Indenture, as of the date hereof, as if made by, and with respect to, each signatory hereto; and (iii) perform all obligations and duties required of a Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture.  Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, including, but not limited to, Article 10 thereof.

 

(3)                                 Execution and Delivery.  Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

 

(4)                                 No Recourse Against Others.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Issuers or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors (including any Guaranteeing Subsidiary) under the Notes, any Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on,

 

 

in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

 

(5)                                 Governing Law.  THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(6)                                 Counterparts.  The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.  This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in multiple counterparts which, when taken together, shall constitute one instrument.  The exchange of copies of this Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmissions shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Supplemental Indenture for all purposes.  Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

 

(7)                                 Effect of Headings.  The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

(8)                                 The Trustee.

PO Box 327 
Hyannis Port, MA 02647 

Dear John:
 
As discussed, you and Staples Inc. have mutually agreed to end our employment relationship.  In addition to the severance and other benefits you will receive, you will also be eligible for a one time termination payment (the “Termination Payment”) equivalent to the amount you would have otherwise received under the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Officer Incentive Plan (the “EOIP”) if you had remained employed through the end of fiscal year 2016, pro-rated to account for the time you were actually employed.  The calculation of the Termination Payment is dependent on the level of achievement of the company-wide performance objectives under the EOIP, which will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion on or around March 6, 2017.  For clarity, assuming your last day of employment is October 31, 2016 and the company-wide performance objectives (including budgeted Earnings Per Share (EPS), Beyond Office Supply Sales (BO$$) Growth and Gross Margin $) are achieved at target levels, the amount of the Termination Payment will be equivalent to three-quarters (3/4) of 85% of your annual base salary; subject to adjustment in accordance with the methodology for determining payouts under the EOIP, including any threshold or maximum amounts.  The Termination Payment, minus mandatory withholdings, will be paid in a lump sum by March 31, 2017, and will be subject to any right of recovery set forth in the EOIP.

In addition, the Company will pay you a monthly housing allowance of Euro 12,500 per month plus reasonable utility expenses for the period beginning the day after your last day of employment and ending on February 28, 2017.  Nothing in this paragraph imposes an obligation on the Company to extend the work and/or residence permit of you or your family in The Netherlands; you assume the responsibility to comply with the immigration laws of The Netherlands if you elect to remain in the country after your last day of employment. 

To be eligible to receive the Termination Payment and housing allowance set forth herein, you must remain employed through your Effective Termination Date, execute and return the signed Staples Severance Letter Agreement, and honor all obligations in the latter agreement.

Sincerely,

Regis Mulot

 The purpose of the Plan (as defined below) is to
aid Versum Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates in recruiting and retaining key employees, directors or other independent contractors and to motivate such employees, directors or other
independent contractors to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates and align their interests with those of the stockholders of the Company by providing incentives through the granting of Awards. The Company expects that
it will benefit from the added interest which such key employees, directors or independent contractors will have in the welfare of the Company as a result of their proprietary interest in the Company’s success. 

 

	 	2.	Definitions 

 The following capitalized terms used in the Plan have the
respective meanings set forth in this Section: 
 (a) Act: The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any
successor thereto.

controlled by, or under common control with, the Company or any other entity designated by the Board in which the Company or an Affiliate has an interest. 

(c) Award: An Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Other Stock-Based Award or Cash Award granted pursuant to the

Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s 

  
 [Approved by the
board of directors of Versum Materials, Inc. on September 15, 2016; ratified by Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. as sole stockholder of Versum Materials, Inc. on September 30, 2016]

through the purchase of Voting Securities directly from the Company through a private placement; 
 (ii) individuals who
constitute the Board on the date hereof (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof (other than any director whose

the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, shall from and after such election be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board; 

(iii) a merger or consolidation involving the Company or its Shares or an acquisition by the Company, directly or indirectly
or through one or more subsidiaries, of another entity or its stock or assets in exchange for the Shares of the Company is consummated, unless, immediately following such transaction, 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities of
the surviving or resulting corporation or entity will be (or is) then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the individuals and entities who were the Beneficial Owners of the Company’s outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior to

the transaction);

Subsidiaries, and (iii) a Participant’s services as an non-employee director, if the Participant is a non-employee member of the Board.

date immediately preceding such date) and (ii) if there should not be a public market for the Shares on such date, the “Fair Market Value” shall be the value of the Shares established by the Committee in good faith. 

(n) ISO: An Option that is also an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Code, granted pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Plan.

 3 

	 	3.	Shares Subject to the Plan 

 Subject to Section 10, the total number of
Shares which may be issued under the Plan is 5,000,000, each of which may be issued as ISOs. The maximum number of Shares that may underlie Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, collectively, granted in any calendar year to any Participant other
than any non-employee director, shall not exceed 750,000 Shares. The maximum number of Shares that may underlie Performance-Based Awards granted in any calendar year to any Participant other than any non-employee director, shall not exceed 375,000
Shares. The maximum Cash Award granted in any calendar year to any Participant other than any non-employee director shall not exceed $5,000,000. The maximum number of Shares that may underlie Awards granted during any calendar year to any
non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the calendar year, shall not exceed $600,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such
Awards for financial reporting purposes). The Committee may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board or, in extraordinary circumstances, for other individual non-employee directors, as the Committee may determine in its
discretion, provided that the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The
issuance of Shares, or Shares delivered in exchange for the payment of cash or other property upon the exercise of an Award, shall, in each case, reduce the total number of Shares available under the Plan, as applicable. Shares which are subject to
Awards which terminate or lapse without the payment of consideration, Shares withheld by the Company in payment of taxes or exercise prices, or Shares subject to Awards that are replaced, exchanged or otherwise forfeited, may, in each case, be
granted again under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Shares issued under Awards granted in assumption, substitution or exchange for previously granted awards of a company acquired by the Company (“Substitute Awards”) shall not
reduce the Shares available under the Plan and (ii) available shares under a stockholder approved plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and do not reduce the
Plan’s share reserve (subject to applicable stock exchange listing requirements). 
  

	 	4.	Administration 

 (a) Delegation. The Plan shall be
administered by the Committee, which may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof consisting solely of at least two individuals who are intended to qualify as “Non-Employee Directors” within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Act (or any successor rule thereto), “independent directors” within the meaning of the applicable principal national exchange listed company rules and “outside directors” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto). Additionally, the Committee may delegate the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to any employee or group of employees of the Company or an Affiliate; provided that such
delegation and grants are consistent with applicable law and guidelines established by the Board from time to time and in no event may such authority be delegated with respect to the granting of Awards to employees who are subject to Section 16
of the Act nor if the delegation of any such authority would result in Awards that are otherwise intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code failing to so qualify. 

  
 4 

 (b) Interpretation. The Committee is authorized to interpret the
Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and/or any Award agreement in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan and/or any
Award agreement, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, but not limited to, Participants and their beneficiaries or successors). 

(c) Terms. The Committee shall have the full power and authority to establish the terms and conditions of any
Award consistent with the provisions of the Plan and to waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions). The Award agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions
and conditions not inconsistent herewith as shall be determined by the Committee. The Participant shall comply with the terms and conditions, including but not limited to any purchase or repurchase rights permitted under applicable law, imposed on
the Participant pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and the Award agreement. 
 (d) Taxes. The Committee
shall require payment of any amount it may determine to be necessary to withhold for federal, state, local or other taxes as a result of the exercise, grant or vesting of, or delivery of Shares subject to, an Award. Subject to the following proviso
(including due to applicable law or accounting rules), the Participant may pay such withholding taxes upon, or in advance of, the taxable event under any Award in cash, by check or by a combination thereof, or in Shares or in a combination of cash
and Shares, at the discretion of the Company; provided that, with respect to any payment in whole or in part in Shares, any such Shares have been held by the Participant for such period, if any, as established by the Committee in order to avoid
adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles, or have been withheld by the Company from Shares that would have otherwise been received by the Participant upon exercise or settlement of the Award. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted under Section 10 of the
Plan, (i) no waiver, amendment or modification of an Award may reduce the Option Price of any Option or the exercise price of any Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation
Right and replace it with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right (with a lower Option Price or exercise price, as the case may be) or other Award or cancel for cash any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right for which the Option Price or
exercise price, as the case may be, is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Award and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action which is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the
stockholder approval rules of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted. 

  
 5 

 (f) Rounding. For the purposes of a full or partial payment of the
exercise price and/or applicable withholding taxes in Shares, in the event that the quotient of the aggregate amount owed to pay the exercise price and/or applicable withholding taxes divided by the Fair Market Value shall include a fractional
share, the Participant (or any other person authorized pursuant to the applicable Award agreement) shall round up and provide the Company with a full share. 

(g) Clawback/Repayment. All Awards shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent
necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or Committee and as in effect from time to time; and (ii) applicable law. Further, to the extent that the Participant receives any amount in excess of
the amount that the Participant should otherwise have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Participant
shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company. 
 (h) Limits On Dividends and Dividend
Equivalents. Unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly provide, no dividends or dividend equivalents shall be payable with respect to any Award unless (and solely to the extent that) the underlying Award with respect to which such dividend
or dividend equivalents are credited shall have become vested and payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any Award that vests based on achievement of performance goals shall either
(x) not be paid or credited or (y) be accumulated, subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Award with respect to which such dividend or dividend equivalent is accumulated, and shall be paid at the time such
restrictions and risk of forfeiture lapse, and (ii) no dividend equivalents shall be paid with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 
  

	 	5.	Limitations 

 No Award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. 
  

	 	6.	Terms and Conditions of Options 

 Options granted under the Plan shall
be, as determined by the Committee, non-qualified or incentive stock options for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by the related Award agreements, and shall be subject to the foregoing and the following terms and conditions and to such
other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall determine: 
 (a) Option
Price. The Option Price per Share shall be determined by the Committee, but (except as required or permitted with respect to Conversion Awards and Substitute Awards) shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
date an Option is granted. 
 (b) Exercisability. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such
time and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted; provided, however, that (other than with respect to any ISO or as
would otherwise result in a violation of Section 409A and the guidance issued thereunder) to the extent an Option would expire at a time when the holder of 

  
 6 

 
such Option is prohibited by applicable law or the Company’s insider trading policy from selling or otherwise disposing of Shares that he or she would otherwise acquire upon exercise of such
Option, then such Option shall nevertheless be exercisable until the thirtieth (30th) day following the date such prohibition lapses. 

(c) Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award agreement, an Option may be exercised
for all, or from time to time any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. The exercise date of an Option shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if applicable, the date payment is received by
the Company pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the following sentence. The purchase price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company pursuant to one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash or
its equivalent (e.g., by personal check); (ii) in Shares, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the Option equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by
the Committee; provided that such Shares have been held by the Participant for such period, if any, as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting
principles; (iii) partly in cash and partly in Shares in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii); (iv) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares
obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased in accordance with a cashless exercise program that is
compliant with applicable securities laws; or (v) through having a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the Option equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased withheld by the Company from Shares
that would have otherwise been received by the Participant upon exercise of the Option. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given
written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan. 

(d) ISOs. The Committee may grant Options under the Plan that are intended to be ISOs. Such ISOs shall comply with
the requirements of Section 422 of the Code (or any successor section thereto). No ISO may be granted to any Participant who, at the time of such grant, owns more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Company or of any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Option Price for such ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted and (ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day
preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” status under section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the
Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary shall not exceed $100,000 (or such other limit imposed by
Section 422(d) of the Code). For purposes of applying the foregoing limitation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order granted. Any Participant who disposes of Shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO either
(i) within two years after the date of grant of such ISO or (ii) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition. All
Options granted under the Plan are intended to be nonqualified stock options, unless the applicable Award agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an ISO. If an Option is intended to be an ISO, and if for any reason

  
 7 

 
such Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be a nonqualified stock option granted under the
Plan. In no event shall any member of the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates (or their respective employees, officers or directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other Person) due to the failure of an Option to qualify
for any reason as an ISO. 
 (e) Attestation. Wherever in this Plan or any agreement evidencing an Award a
Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by
presenting proof of being a Beneficial Owner of such Shares, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and/or shall withhold such number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option, as
appropriate. 
  

	 	7.	Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights 

 (a)
Grants. The Committee may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation Right independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right in connection with an Option, or a portion thereof. A Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same number of Shares covered by the
related Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7 (or such
additional limitations as may be included in an Award agreement). 
 (b) Terms. The exercise price per Share of
a Stock Appreciation Right shall be an amount determined by the Committee, but in no event shall such amount be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted; provided, however,
that in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, the exercise price may not be less than the Option Price of the related Option (except as required or permitted with respect to Conversion
Awards and Substitute Awards). Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share
over (B) the exercise price per Share, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant
to surrender to the Company the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange thereof an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over
(B) the Option Price per Share, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. Payment shall be made in Shares or in cash, or partly in Shares and partly in cash (any such Shares
valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised from time to time upon actual receipt by the Company of written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares with respect
to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. The date a notice of exercise is received by the Company shall be the exercise date. No fractional Shares will be issued in payment for Stock Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be
paid for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of Shares will be rounded down to the next whole Share. 

(c) Limitations. The Committee may impose, in its discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability of Stock
Appreciation Rights as it may deem fit, but in no event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted; provided, however, that (other than as would otherwise result in a violation of
Section 409A and the guidance issued thereunder) to the extent a Stock Appreciation Right would expire at a time when the holder of such Stock Appreciation Right is prohibited by applicable law or the Company’s insider trading policy from
selling or otherwise disposing of Shares that he or she would otherwise acquire upon exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right, then such Stock Appreciation Right shall nevertheless be exercisable until the thirtieth (30th) day following the date such prohibition lapses.

	 	8.	Other Stock-Based Awards; Performance-Based Awards 

 (a)
Generally. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant or sell Awards of Shares, Awards of restricted Shares, restricted Share units and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on,
the Fair Market Value of Shares (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive, or
vest with respect to, one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Other Stock-Based Awards may be
granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock- Based Awards will be made, the number of Shares to be awarded under (or
otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares; and all other terms and conditions of such Awards (including, without limitation, the
vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable). 

(b) Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, certain Other Stock-Based Awards
granted under this Section 8 and certain Cash Awards granted under Section 9 may be granted in a manner which is intended to be deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto)
(“Performance-Based Awards”). A Participant’s Performance-Based Award shall be determined based on the attainment of written performance goals approved by the Committee for a performance period established by the Committee
(i) while the outcome for that performance period is substantially uncertain and (ii) no more than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to which the performance goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is
equal to 25 percent of the relevant performance period. The performance goals, which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more of the following criteria: (i) consolidated earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ii) net income; (iii) operating income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) book value per Share; (vi) return on stockholders’ equity; (vii) expense management;
(viii) return on investment; (ix) improvements in capital structure; (x) profitability of an identifiable business unit or product; (xi) maintenance or improvement of profit margins; (xii) stock price; (xiii) market
share; (xiv) revenues or sales; (xv) costs; (xvi) cash flow; (xvii) working capital; (xviii) return on assets (xix) assets under management; (xx) total return and (xxi) strategic initiatives. The foregoing criteria
may relate to the Company, one or more of its Affiliates or one or more of its or their divisions or units, or any combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one or more peer group companies or
indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Committee 

  
 9 

 
shall determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and to the degree consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall have the authority to make equitable
adjustments in the business criteria in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or its operating units, in response to changes in applicable laws or regulations, foreign exchange gains and losses, a change in the fiscal
year of the Company, acquisitions or dispositions, asset write downs, business interruption events, unbudgeted capital expenditures, unrealized investment gains and losses or impairments, or to account for items of gain, loss or expense determined
to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in generally accepted accounting principles, or as the Committee determines to be appropriate to
reflect measurement of the performance of the Company or its operating units, as applicable and to otherwise satisfy the objectives of the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether, with respect to a performance period, the applicable performance
goals have been met with respect to a given Participant and, if they have, shall so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance-Based Award. No Performance-Based Awards will be paid for such performance period until such
certification is made by the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less (but not more) than the amount determined by the applicable performance goal formula, at the discretion of the
Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of such performance period;
provided, however, that a Participant may, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee and consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, elect to defer payment of a Performance-Based Award. 

 

	 	9.	Cash Awards 

 The Committee may grant awards that are denominated and
payable solely in cash, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, and such Cash Awards shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from
time to time. Subject to the terms hereof, the Committee may impose such conditions and/or restrictions on any Cash Awards granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable. 

 

	 	10.	Adjustments Upon Certain Events 

 Notwithstanding any other provisions
in the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted under the Plan: 
 (a)
Generally. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares after the Effective Date by reason of any Share dividend or split, or in the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination,
combination or transaction or exchange of Shares or other corporate exchange, or any distribution to stockholders of Shares other than regular cash dividends, or any transaction similar to the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion and
without liability to any person shall make such substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable (subject to Section 17 below), as to (i) the number and/or kind of Shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance
pursuant to the Plan and/or pursuant to outstanding Awards, (ii) the maximum number of Shares for which Options, or Stock Appreciation Rights, Other-Stock Based Awards and Performance-Based Awards may be granted during a calendar year to any

  
 10 

 
Participant, (iii) the maximum dollar amount of a Performance-Based Award that may be granted during a calendar year to any Participant, (iv) the Option Price or exercise price of any
Stock Appreciation Right and/or (v) any other affected terms of such Awards. 
 (b) Change in Control. In
the event of a Change in Control after the Effective Date, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement (and to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code): 

(i) if, prior to the second anniversary of the date of such Change in Control, any given Participant’s employment is
terminated by the Company or any of its Affiliates (or successors in interest) without Cause (as such term is defined in the applicable Award agreement or if no such definition is contained therein, in the Participant’s employment agreement
with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, but if no such definition is contained therein, then any applicable Company policy) or by the Participant for Good Reason (as such term is defined in the applicable Award agreement or if no such definition
is contained therein, in the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, but if no such definition is contained therein, then the terms of this Section 10(b)(i) shall not apply upon any voluntary
termination by the Participant), then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to all or any portion of the Participant’s then outstanding Award or Awards: (A) the then outstanding Options and
Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable and other then outstanding Awards shall become fully vested, in each case, on the date of such termination of employment; (B) any performance periods in effect on of the date such
termination of employment occurs shall end on such date, and with respect to each such performance period, the extent to which all applicable performance goals have been achieved with respect to a given Award shall be determined based on actual
performance as measured under the Award as of the date of the Change in Control (or, if actual performance with respect to such Award is not determinable as of the date of the Change in Control, all applicable performance goals shall be deemed to be
achieved at target levels); and (C) all Awards that have been previously deferred shall be settled in full as soon as practicable, but if any only if, with respect to any Award which provides for the deferral of compensation and is subject to
Section 409A of the Code, such settlement does not contradict any pre-existing deferral election under any other plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any of its Affiliates then in effect and would not result in accelerated taxation
and/or penalties under Section 409A of the Code; but in any event 
 (ii) the Committee may (subject to Section 14
below), but shall not be obligated to, (A) cancel such Awards for their intrinsic value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, shall equal the excess, if any, of the
dollar value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction to holders of the same number of Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market
Value of the Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) over the aggregate exercise price of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (and any such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that have an aggregate exercise price that
equals or exceeds such aggregate dollar value consideration shall be cancelled for no consideration), (B) provide that any Options or Stock Appreciation Right having an exercise price per Share that is greater than the per Share dollar value of
the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction to a holder of a 

  
 11 

 
Share shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor, (C) provide for the issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of
any affected Awards previously granted hereunder as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or (D) provide that for a period of at least ten (10) business days prior to the Change in Control, such Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights shall be exercisable as to all shares subject thereto and that upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, not all
Awards shall be required to be treated in a uniform manner (e.g., the Committee may in its discretion elect to cancel certain Awards and substitute other Awards) under the provisions of this Section 10(b). 

 

	 	11.	No Right to Employment, Awards or Compensation 

 The granting of an
Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the Employment of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or any Affiliate’s right to terminate the Employment of such
Participant. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the
Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated). Absent express provisions to the contrary, any grant under this
Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind now or subsequently in
effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. This Plan is not a “retirement plan” or “welfare plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 

 

	 	12.	Successors and Assigns 

 The Plan shall be binding on all successors and
assigns of the Company and a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s
creditors. 
  

	 	13.	Nontransferability of Awards 

 Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, an Award shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee (on such terms, conditions and limitations as it determines) may permit an Award to be
transferred or transferable to heirs, legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant, in each case, for no consideration and only to the extent permissible by law and, in the case of an ISO, to the extent permissible under
Section 422 of the Code. 
  

	 	14.	Amendments or Termination; Prior Plan 

 The Board may amend, alter or
discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made (a) without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, if 

  
 12 

 
such action would (except as is provided in Section 10(a) of the Plan) increase the total number of Shares reserved for the purposes of the Plan, change the maximum number of Shares for
which Awards may be granted to any Participant, amend, replace, or reprice any Award in the manner described in Section 4(e), or otherwise be required to be approved by such stockholders under applicable law or applicable securities exchange listing
requirements or (b) without the consent of a Participant, if such action would materially diminish any of the rights of the Participant under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant under the Plan; provided, however, that the
Board may amend the Plan without the consent of any Participant if it deems necessary to amend the Plan to satisfy the requirements of applicable laws. 
  

	 	15.	International Participants 

 With respect to Participants who reside or
work outside the United States of America and who are not (and who are not expected to be) “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may, subject to Section 14 above, in its sole
discretion, amend the terms of the Plan or Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms to the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Company or an Affiliate. In
addition to the provisions of Section 11 above, there are no acquired rights which will accrue to such Participants from the granting of Awards under the Plan. 
  

	 	16.	Choice of Law 

 The Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws. 
  

	 	17.	Section 409A Compliance 

 This Plan and Awards issued hereunder are
intended to be exempt from, or to the extent subject thereto, comply with Section 409A of the Code, and accordingly, this Plan and Awards issued hereunder shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of
Treasury regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. In the event that the Committee determines that any amounts
payable hereunder will be taxable to a Participant under Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance prior to actual payment to such Participant of such amount, the Company may, subject to Section 14 above,
(a) adopt such amendments to the Plan and Awards and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment
of the benefits provided by the Plan and Awards hereunder and/or (b) take such other actions as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. 

In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Committee that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments in
respect of any Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Award agreement, as the case may be, without causing the Participant holding such Award to be subject to taxation under

  
 13 

 
Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code which,
with respect to any Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, will be no earlier than the first day following six months after termination of Employment (other than due to death), if
such payment is payable in respect of such termination. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Participant
shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of the Plan and no payment shall be due to the Participant under the Plan or any Award until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a “separation
from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Plan shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 17 in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Committee nor any of the Company’s employees, directors, representatives or agents
shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Section 17. 
  

	 	18.	Effectiveness of the Plan 

 The Plan shall be effective as of the
Effective Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Plan shall be submitted to stockholders of the Company for approval no later than the Company’s first regularly scheduled meeting of stockholders that occurs more than twelve
(12) months after the date that the Company becomes a separate publicly held corporation and shall thereafter be submitted to stockholders of the Company for re-approval no later than the Company’s first meeting of stockholders that occurs in
the fifth year following the year in which the Company’s stockholders previously approved the Plan.
