5.                 
Confidential Information and Proprietary Information.

 

5.01         
Confidential Information. During the Term and at all times thereafter, Employee shall not divulge, furnish or make
accessible to anyone or use in any way (other than in the ordinary course of the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates)
any confidential or secret knowledge or information of the Company or any of its Affiliates which Employee has acquired or become
acquainted with prior to the termination of the period of her employment by the Company (including employment by the Company or
any affiliated companies prior to the date of this Agreement), whether developed by herself or by others, including, without limitation,
any trade secrets, confidential or secret designs, processes, formulae, plans, devices or material (whether or not patented or
patentable) directly or indirectly useful in any aspect of the business of the Company or any of the Affiliates, any customer or
supplier lists of the Company or any of the Affiliates, any confidential or secret development or research work of the Company
or any of the Affiliates, or any other confidential information or secret aspect of the business of the Company or any of the Affiliates
(collectively, “Confidential Information”). Employee acknowledges that (a) the Company and its Affiliates have expended
and shall continue to expend substantial amounts of time, money and effort to develop business strategies, employee and customer
relationships and goodwill and build an effective organization, (b) Employee is and shall become familiar with the Company’s
and its Affiliate’s Confidential Information, including trade secrets, and that Employee’s services are of special,
unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its Affiliates, (c) the above-described knowledge or information constitutes
a unique and valuable asset of the Company and its Affiliates and the Company and its Affiliates have a legitimate business interest
and right in protecting its Confidential Information, business strategies, employee and customer relationships and goodwill and
(d) any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of the Company and any of the
Affiliates would be wrongful and would cause irreparable harm to the Company and any of the Affiliates. However, the foregoing
shall not apply to any knowledge or information which is now published, or which subsequently becomes generally publicly known
in the form in which it was obtained from the Company or any of the Affiliates, other than as a direct or indirect result of the
breach of this Agreement by Employee.

 

5.02          Proprietary
Information. (a) Employee agrees that the results and proceeds of Employee’s services for the Company or its
Affiliates (including, but not limited to, any trade secrets, products, services, processes, know-how, designs, developments,
innovations, analyses, drawings, reports, techniques, formulas, methods, developmental or experimental work,
improvements, discoveries, inventions, ideas, source and object codes, programs, matters of a literary, musical, dramatic or
otherwise creative nature, writings and other works of authorship) resulting from services performed while an employee of the
Company and any works in progress, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, that were
made, developed, conceived or reduced to practice or learned by Employee, either alone or jointly with others (collectively,
“Inventions”), shall be works-made-for-hire and the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the
Company or any of its Affiliates) shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all trade secret, patent,
copyright and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “Proprietary Rights”) of whatsoever nature
therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to use the
same in perpetuity in any manner the Company determines in its sole discretion, without any further payment to Employee
whatsoever. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds shall not legally be a work-made-for-hire and/or there are
any Proprietary Rights which do not accrue to the Company (or, as the case may be, any of its Affiliates) under the
immediately preceding sentence, then Employee hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of Employee’s
right, title and interest thereto, including any and all Proprietary Rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now
or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, to the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the
Company or any of its Affiliates), and the Company or its Affiliates shall have the right to use the same in perpetuity
throughout the universe in any manner determined by the Company or such Affiliates without any further payment to Employee
whatsoever. As to any Invention that Employee is required to assign, Employee shall promptly and fully disclose to the
Company all information known to Employee concerning such Invention.

 

    3

     

    

 

(b) Employee agrees that,
from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, Employee shall do any and
all things that the Company may reasonably deem useful or desirable to establish or document the Company’s exclusive ownership
throughout the United States of America or any other country of any and all Proprietary Rights in any such Inventions, including
the execution of appropriate copyright and/or patent applications or assignments. To the extent Employee has any Proprietary Rights
in the Inventions that cannot be assigned in the manner described above, Employee unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement
of such Proprietary Rights. This Section 5.02 is subject to and shall not be deemed to limit, restrict or constitute any waiver
by the Company of any Proprietary Rights of ownership to which the Company may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of the
Company’s being Employee’s employer. Employee further agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company
and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, Employee shall assist the Company in every proper and lawful way to obtain and
from time to time enforce Proprietary Rights relating to Inventions in any and all countries. To this end, Employee shall execute,
verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably
request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment
thereof. In addition, Employee shall execute, verify, and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its
designees. Employee’s obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Inventions in
any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company.

 

(c) Employee hereby waives
and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that Employee now or may hereafter have for infringement
of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.

 

6.                 
Non-competition and Non-solicitation Covenants and Adversarial Restrictions.

 

6.01          Non-competition.
Employee agrees that, during the Term and for eighteen months after the termination of Employee’s employment for any
reason (the “Non-Compete Period”), other than by virtue of a breach by Company under Section 7.01(f) below,
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) engage in activities or businesses (including without limitation by
owning any interest in, managing, controlling, participating in, consulting with, advising, rendering services for, or in any
manner engaging in the business of owning, operating or managing any business) in any geographic location in which the
Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates engage in, whether through selling, distributing, manufacturing, marketing,
purchasing, or otherwise, that compete directly or indirectly with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates
(“Competitive Activities”), it being understood that Competitive Activities as of the date hereof include,
without limitation, the publication and membership businesses of the Company or any subsidiary of Affiliate of the Company;
the sale, repair or service of recreational vehicles or parts and accessories for recreational vehicles or the sale of any
ancillary products that are sold in connection with the sale of recreational vehicles, including but not limited to credit
life insurance, roadside assistance programs and extended service warranties, in the recreational vehicle, camping and
outdoor living markets; the business of developing, marketing, providing and implementing products and services (including
insurance, financing, warranties and road-side assistance) to owners of recreational vehicles and motorcycles; the business
of providing consumer shows to owners of recreational vehicles and boats; and the business of publishing magazines directed
to owners of recreational vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, boats and outdoor enthusiasts; or (B) assist any person in any way
to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by Section 6.01(a) above. Employee acknowledges (i) that the business of the
Company and its Affiliates is national in scope and without geographical limitation within the United States and (ii)
notwithstanding the jurisdiction of formation or principal office of the Company and its Affiliates, or the location of any
of their respective executives or employees (including, without limitation, Employee), it is expected that the Company and
its Affiliates will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within their respective industries
throughout the United States.

 

    4

     

    

 

6.02         
Indirect Competition. Employee further agrees that, during the Term and the Non-Compete Period, she will not, directly
or indirectly, assist or encourage any other person in carrying out, direct or indirectly, any activity that would be prohibited
by the above provisions of this Section 6 if such activity were carried out by Employee, either directly or indirectly; and in
particular Employee agrees that she will not, directly or indirectly, induce any employee of the Company to carry out, directly
or indirectly, any such activity.

 

6.03         
Non-solicitation. Employee further agrees that, during the Term and for a period of one year after the termination
of her employment (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), she will not, directly or indirectly, assist or encourage any other
person in seeking to employ or hire any employee, consultant, advisor or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates or encouraging
any such employee, consultant, advisor or agent to discontinue employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

6.04         
Adversarial Restrictions. During the Term and at any time thereafter, Employee shall not voluntarily aid, assist,
or cooperate with any actual or potential claimants or plaintiffs or their attorneys or agents in any claims or lawsuits proposed
to be asserted, pending or commenced on the date hereof or in the future against the Company or any of the Affiliates; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 6.05 will be construed to prevent Employee from testifying at an administrative hearing,
a deposition, or in court in response to a lawful subpoena in any litigation or proceeding involving the Company or any Affiliate.

 

6.05          Tolling
of Periods and Enforceability. The Non-Compete Period and Non-Solicitation Period shall be tolled during (and shall be
deemed automatically extended by) any period in which Employee is in violation of the provisions of this Section 6. If a
final and non-appealable judicial determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 6 constitutes an
unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Employee, the provisions of this Section 6 will not be rendered
void but will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to remain in force and effect for the longest period
and largest geographic area that would not constitute such an unreasonable or unenforceable restriction. Moreover, and
without limiting the generality of Section 6, notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this Section 6 is determined to
not be enforceable through specific performance, the Company will nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a
result of Employee’s breach of such provision.

 

    5

     

    

 

6.06         
Acknowledgement. Employee acknowledges that Employee has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration
to the restraints imposed upon Employee by this Agreement, and is in full accord as to the necessity of such restraints for the
reasonable and proper protection of the Confidential Information, business strategies, employee and customer relationships and
goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates now existing or to be developed in the future. Employee expressly acknowledges
and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and
geographical area. Employee further acknowledges that although Employee’s compliance with the covenants contained in Sections
5 and 6 may prevent Employee from earning a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company, Employee’s experience
and capabilities are such that Employee has other opportunities to earn a livelihood and adequate means of support for Employee
and Employee’s dependents.

 

7.

    8

     

    

 

8.06         
Section 409A.    (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder
(and such other Treasury or Internal Revenue Service guidance) as in effect from time to time. The parties intend that any amounts
payable hereunder that could constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A will be compliant
with Section 409A or exempt from Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall be solely responsible and liable for
the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or for the account of Employee in connection with this Agreement
(including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have
any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Employee (or any beneficiary) harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements
of Section 409A from the Employee or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, the following special rule shall apply, if and to the extent required by Section 409A, in the
event that (i) Employee is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii)
amounts or benefits under this Agreement or any other program, plan or arrangement of the Company or a controlled group affiliate
thereof are due or payable on account of “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-l(h) and (iii) Employee is employed by a public company or a controlled group affiliate thereof: no payments hereunder that
are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be made to Employee prior to the date that is six (6) months
after the date of Employee’s separation from service or, if earlier, Employee’s date of death; following any applicable
six (6) month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest permissible payment date.

 

(c) Each payment made
under this Agreement (including each separate installment payment in the case of a series of installment payments) shall be deemed
to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Amounts payable under this Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “deferral
of compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.409A-1(b)(4)
(“short-term deferrals”) and (b)(9) (“separation pay plans,” including the exception under subparagraph
(iii)) and other applicable provisions of Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to payments of any amounts
that are considered to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, references to “termination of employment,”
“termination,” or words and phrases of similar import, shall be deemed to refer to Employee’s “separation
from service” as defined in Section 409A, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements
of Section 409A.

 

(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise that is
exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-l(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) (relating to certain
reimbursements and in-kind benefits) shall be paid or provided to Employee only to the extent that the expenses are not
incurred, or the benefits are not provided, beyond the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in
which Employee’s “separation from service” occurs; and provided further that such expenses are reimbursed
no later than the last day of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which Employee’s “separation
from service” occurs. To the extent any indemnification payment, expense reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind
benefit is determined to be subject to Section 409A (and not exempt pursuant to the prior sentence or otherwise), the amount
of any such indemnification payment or expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one
calendar year shall not affect the indemnification payment or provision of in-kind benefits or expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other calendar year (except for any life-time or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical
expenses), and in no event shall any indemnification payment or expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which Employee incurred such indemnification payment or expenses, and in no event shall
any right to indemnification payment or reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or
exchange for another benefit.

 

    9

     

    

 

(e) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within
the meaning of Section 409A) due under this Agreement as a result of the Employee’s termination of employment with the Company
are subject to the Employee’s execution and delivery and non-revocation of the Release, (i) no such payments shall be made
on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day immediately following the Termination Date (the “Release Expiration Date”),
(ii) the Company shall deliver the Release to the Employee within seven (7) days immediately following the Termination Date, (iii)
if, as of the Release Expiration Date, the Employee has failed to execute the Release or has timely revoked her acceptance of the
Release thereafter, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits otherwise conditioned on the Release, and (iv)
any such payments that are delayed pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll date following
the Release Expiration Date. For purposes of this Section 8.06, “Release Expiration Date” shall mean the date that
is twenty-one (21) days following the date upon which the Company timely delivers the Release to the Employee, or, in the event
that the Employee’s termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination

days following such delivery date.

 

8.07          280G
Parachute Payments. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any
payment or benefit received or to be received by you (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a Change
in Control (as defined in the Camping World 2016 Incentive Award Plan, as amended from time to time) or the termination of
your employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such
payments and benefits being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or
part), to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, after taking
into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan,
arrangement or agreement, the cash severance payments shall first be reduced, and the noncash severance payments shall
thereafter be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only
if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state
and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and
personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such
Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such
Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Employee would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total
Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such
unreduced Total Payments).

 

    10

     

    

 

(b) For purposes
of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total
Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Employee shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute
a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Total
Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of independent auditors or consultants of nationally recognized
standing (“Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within
the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the
Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Independent Advisors, constitutes
reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the
Base Amount (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any
non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Independent Advisors
in accordance with the principles of Section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

 

8.08         
Compensation Recovery Policy. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the Company adopts any clawback
or similar policy pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, and any rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, she shall take all action necessary or appropriate to comply with such policy (including, without limitation,
entering into any further agreements, amendments or policies necessary or appropriate to implement and/or enforce such policy with
respect to past, present and future compensation, as appropriate).

 

8.09         
Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered
deleted herefrom and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force
and effect. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities
covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such
provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may validly and enforceably be covered. Employee
acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement be given the construction
which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable
law.

 

8.10         
Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, by either party without the written consent
of the other party. After any such assignment by the Company, the Company shall be discharged from all further liability hereunder
and such assignee shall thereafter be deemed to be the Company for the purposes of all provisions of this Agreement including this
Section 8.

 

8.11          Injunctive
Relief. Employee agrees that it would be difficult to compensate the Company fully for damages for any violation of the
provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Sections 5 and 6. Accordingly,
Employee specifically agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual damages. This
provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right of the Company to claim and recover
damages in addition to injunctive relief.

 

    11

     

    

 

8.12         
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The Company and Employee agree that in the event any litigation arises out of this
Agreement between Company and Employee, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its attorney’s
fees and costs brought relating to such litigation.

 

8.13         
No Mitigation Obligation. All amounts paid to Employee under this Agreement following Employee’s termination
of employment and this Agreement are acknowledged by the Company and Employee to be reasonable and to be liquidated damages, and
Employee will not be required to reduce the amount of such payments by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will any profits,
income, earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever (including from other employment) create any mitigation, offset,
reduction or any other obligation on the part of Employee under this Agreement.

 

8.14         
Notices. Any notice, payment, demand or communication required or permitted to be given by the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been effectively given and received on the date personally delivered to the respective party
to whom it is directed, or five (5) days after the date when deposited by registered or certified mail, with postage and charges
prepaid and addressed to such party at its address below its signature. Any party may change its address by delivering a written
change of address to all of the other parties in the manner set forth in this Section 8.14.

 

8.15         
Notice of Immunity. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
(i) Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a
trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose
of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (ii) Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under
any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed
in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; and (iii) if Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by an
employer for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the trade secret to Employee’s attorney and use
the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Employee files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and
does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 

 

8.16          Administration.
In the event Employee shall disagree with the amount of EBITDA, as determined by the Company (written notice of which shall
be given by the Employee within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such determination by the Company), EBITDA shall be
determined by the independent certified public accountants of the Company or, if the Company has not then engaged a firm of
independent certified public accountants, any nationally recognized firm of public accountants selected by the Company
(the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant shall determine the EBITDA within thirty (30) days
after its appointment and shall be instructed to deliver to the Company and Employee a written report of its determination of
the amount of EBITDA. The cost of the accounting services performed by the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the
Company (but the cost thereof shall be considered a liability of the Company) unless the amount of the EBITDA as determined
by the Independent Accountant is the same as the amount determined by the Company, in which event the entire cost of the
services of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Employee.

	(A)
	the numerator of which is the number of days from the applicable Grant Date until the Termination Date, and

		
	(B)
	the denominator of which is the number of days from the applicable Grant Date until the applicable Vesting Date.

	(i)
	first, the Participant’s Outstanding Phantom Units shall be divided into groups so that all of the Outstanding Phantom Units in each group have the same Grant Date and Vesting Date; and

		
	(ii)
	second, to calculate the resulting Outstanding Performance Units, the number of Outstanding Phantom Units in each group shall be multiplied by a fraction 

		
	(A)
	the numerator of which is the number of days from the applicable Grant Date until the Termination Date, and

		
	(B)

	(a)
	the surviving or resulting entity remains a publicly traded entity and agrees to assume the obligations of AltaGas and its Affiliates under AltaGas’ Phantom Unit Plan and this Plan, in all material respects, including in respect of all Outstanding Phantom Units, to the satisfaction of the board of directors of AltaGas (as constituted prior to the Change of Control), and such board, in its sole discretion, determines that:

	(ii)
	the Benchmark Security of such surviving or resulting entity will not be substantially similar to the Benchmark Security used immediately prior to the Change of Control for purposes of assessing the satisfaction of performance measures on outstanding RUs and PUs, then the Plan shall continue in force and effect in an appropriate manner and with appropriate amendments, as determined at the sole discretion of the board of directors of AltaGas (as constituted prior to the Change of Control), with the Change of Control Value calculated on the Change of Control and payable on the original Vesting Date(s), provided that the Participant continues to be an eligible Participant on such Vesting Date(s) unless otherwise specified in the Agreement. In the event of a Retirement, or the Permanent Disability or death of a Participant prior to the original Vesting Date(s), the Change of Control Value may be pro-rated to the date of such event or otherwise treated in a manner consistent with the intent of Section 6(c), (d) or (e), as applicable. The Board, with the consent of the board of directors of AltaGas, shall have the power to amend the Plan and Agreements to permit the actions described in this subsection without the consent of any Participant.

Payments made in accordance with this Section shall be subject to Sections 16 and 17.

	Effect of Reorganization.  Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event:

		
	(i)
	to which the Company is a party or upon the making of any proposal by the board of directors of AltaGas that AltaGas enter into a Reorganization Event to which the Company is a party, then the board of directors of AltaGas shall cause the surviving entity or new owner, as the case may be, to agree to adopt the Plan and to maintain it, with respect to all grants outstanding under the Plan as of the date of the Reorganization Event, in accordance with the terms in effect as of such date, and to agree to adopt the Agreements and to continue in effect their respective terms as such terms were in effect as of the date of the Reorganization Event; or

		
	(ii)
	to which the Company is not a party or upon the making of any proposal by the board of directors of AltaGas that AltaGas enter into a Reorganization Event to which the Company is not a party, then the respective terms of the Plan and the Agreements will continue in effect as such terms were in effect as of the date of the Reorganization Event.

In either case, the Plan and related Agreements may be modified by the Board, as constituted prior to the Reorganization Event, without the consent of any Participant, to utilize the securities of such surviving entity or new owner or such other publicly traded security which most closely tracks the value of the business of AltaGas, a surviving entity or new owner, as appropriate, in lieu of the Benchmark Security, to measure the Unit Value and, on a going forward basis, the Distribution Amounts.
		
	(b)
	Material Impediment.  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), in the event that the effect of the provisions contained in subsection (a) should become, in the Board’s sole discretion, a material impediment, either from a financial point of view or otherwise, to the consummation of a proposed Reorganization Event, the Board with the consent of the board of directors of AltaGas may take such action as it deems equitable and appropriate to provide each Participant with a benefit equivalent to that to which he or she would have been entitled had such event not occurred, which may include, without limitation, amending any outstanding Agreement without the consent of the Participant.  

		
	(c)
	Conditional Action.  Any action taken by the Board may be made conditional upon the consummation of the applicable Reorganization Event. 

		
	(d)
	Other Corporate Restructuring.  Further, in the event that a division or Affiliate of AltaGas is acquired by another Person (other than an Affiliate), or the Company or AltaGas is reorganized, dissolved or liquidated, or an event or series of events involving a corporate restructuring not described in the definition of Reorganization Event occurs other than with an Affiliate, or the Board shall propose that the Company enter into any such transaction, event or series of events, then the Board with the consent of the board of directors of AltaGas may take such action as it deems equitable and appropriate to provide each Participant with a benefit equivalent to that to which he or she would have been entitled had such event not occurred, which may include, without limitation, amending any outstanding Agreement without the consent of the Participant.  

		
	(e)
	Dilution and Other Adjustments.  In the event of a split, issuance or repurchase of shares, units or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares or units, grants of options, warrants or rights to purchase shares or units, recapitalization, combination, exchange or similar change affecting the Benchmark Security, the Board with the consent of the board of directors of AltaGas shall make either or both of the following adjustments as it deems equitable and appropriate to provide each Participant with a benefit equivalent to that to which he or she would have been entitled had such event not occurred: 

		
	(i)
	adjust the number of Phantom Units granted to each Participant; and

		
	(ii)
	make any other adjustments or take such action as the Board deems appropriate, which may include, without limitation, amending any outstanding Agreement without the consent of the Participant. 

Such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
		
	9.
	Unfunded Plan

The general funds of the Company shall be the sole source for payment of Vesting Amounts under the Plan, and the Company shall not have any obligation to establish any separate fund or trust or other segregation of assets to provide for payments under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Company and a Participant or any other person.  To the extent any Person acquires any rights to receive payments hereunder from the Company, such rights shall be no greater than those of an unsecured creditor.
		
	10.
	No Rights to Grants or Continued Employment or Independent Contract  

No director, officer, employee or independent contractor shall have any claim or right to receive grants of Phantom Units under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any director, officer, employee or independent contractor any right to be retained by the Company, nor does it restrict in any way the right of the Company, as the case may be, to terminate an employee’s employment or service, director’s services, or independent contractor’s contract at any time.
		
	11.
	No Representation as to Value 

Neither AltaGas or the Company, nor any Affiliate makes any representation, warranty or guarantee as to the future value of a Phantom Unit or as to the future value of any Participant’s Vesting Amount.  No amount will be paid to, or in respect of, a Participant under the Plan to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the price of the Benchmark Securities nor will any other form of benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, a Participant for such purpose.
		
	12.
	Securityholder Rights 

No grant of Phantom Units under the Plan shall entitle a Participant or Beneficiary to any rights of a holder of the Benchmark Security and under no circumstances are Phantom Units to be considered Benchmark Securities.
		
	13.
	General Restrictions and Assignment

Except as required by law, the rights of a Participant under the Plan are not capable of being anticipated, assigned, transferred, alienated, sold, encumbered, pledged, mortgaged or charged and are not capable of being subject to attachment or legal process for the payment of any debts or obligations of the Participant.
		
	14.
	Clawback

The Clawback Policy shall apply to any Phantom Units granted under the Plan.
		
	15.
	No Restriction on Right of AltaGas to Effect Corporate Changes 

The Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of AltaGas or its shareholders to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the capital structure of AltaGas or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation of AltaGas, or any issue of shares, units, options, warrants or rights to purchase shares, units, bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference shares whose rights are superior to or affect the Benchmark Security or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for the Benchmark Security, or the dissolution or liquidation of AltaGas, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
		
	16.
	Tax Treatment and Tax Withholding 

The Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the income tax treatment to be accorded any Participant with respect to any grant of Phantom Units or the receipt by any Participant of the Vesting Amount or securities therefor.  The Company recommends that each Participant obtain independent tax advice regarding these matters.
The Company or an Affiliate thereof, as appropriate, may deduct or withhold, or require the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary to remit to the Company or its Affiliate, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of an award of Phantom Units.
		
	17.
	Section 409A

It is intended that, to the extent Phantom Units constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, the provisions of the Plan comply with Section 409A, and all provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.  With respect to a Phantom Unit granted to a Participant who is subject to the income tax laws of the United States of America, the following provisions shall apply: 
		
	(a)
	A Vesting Amount with respect to such Phantom Unit that is payable upon such Participant’s termination of employment shall only be so paid if such termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" under Section 409A.  If such Participant is a “specified employee” under Section 409A at the time of his or her termination of employment, such Vesting Amount shall not be paid before the date which is six months after the date of the Participant’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death) to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Section 409A.  Any payments that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month after the date of the Participant’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the first day of the month after the Participant’s death). 

		
	(b)
	A Vesting Amount with respect to such Phantom Unit that is payable in connection with a Change of Control, shall only be so paid if such Change of Control constitutes a "change in control event" under Section 409A.

		
	(c)
	Any adjustments made pursuant to Section 8 shall: (i) for Phantom Units that are subject to Section 409A, be consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, and (ii) in the case of any Phantom Units that are exempt from Section 409A under the short-term deferral exception, be made so as to preserve the applicability of the short-term deferral exception.

		
	18.
	Plan Amendment and Termination 

The Board, with the consent of the board of directors of AltaGas, may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. No termination or amendment of the Plan may materially adversely affect the rights of any Participant to whom any Phantom Units shall previously have been granted without the consent of such Participant unless, in the case of an amendment, it is required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules, orders of governmental or regulatory authorities or the requirements of any stock exchange on which common shares of AltaGas are listed.  No grants may become effective under the Plan after the date of termination.  Subject to the provisions and within the limitations of the Plan, the Board may amend the terms of any Outstanding Phantom Unit and related Agreement.  
		
	19.
	Severability  

If any provision of the Plan is declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or contravenes any order, policy, by-law or regulation of any regulatory body or securities exchange having jurisdiction or authority over AltaGas, the Company or the Plan, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal, unenforceable or contravening provision shall be replaced by a valid, legal, enforceable and compliant provision of similar economic intent and effect.
		
	20.
	Interpretation  

The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan. In the Plan words importing the singular meaning shall include the plural and vice versa, and words importing the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter genders.
		
	21.
	Governing Law  

The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any actions taken or relating to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.
		
	22.
	Currency

As long as the Benchmark Securities are listed on a Canadian exchange, all amounts paid or values to be determined under the Plan shall be in Canadian dollars then converted to U.S. dollar amounts payable under the Plan as applicable. 
		
	23.
	Notice

Any notice, direction, payment or other communication required, permitted or contemplated by the Plan shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if mailed by prepaid registered mail or delivered to the Company at its main office or by email to the Corporate Secretary of the Company and to the Participant at his or her address, either physical or email, as shown on the books and records of the Company. Any such notice or other communication, if mailed, shall be deemed to have been given on the fifth day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) after the date of mailing, if delivered, at the time of delivery, or if emailed, when the sender has received a “read receipt” or other confirmation of receipt, as the case may be. Any party may, at any time or from time to time by notice given as aforesaid to the parties, change its address for such notice or other communication.
		
	24.
	Effective Date  

The Plan is effective as of December 13, 2019.  The Plan supersedes and replaces in its entirety the 2016 WGL Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plan”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, awards issued and outstanding under the Prior Plan will continue to be governed by the Prior Plan.  All future grants will be made under the Plan.
