FINANCIAL ENGINES, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

2009 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

	
SECTION 1.
	
ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.

The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on November 18, 2009, and became effective on March 16, 2010, immediately prior to the closing of the initial offering of Stock to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Date”). The Plan was amended and restated effective December 31, 2010 to amend the vesting provisions for grants to Outside Directors under Section 4(b), effective December 8, 2011 to further amend the provisions for grants to Outside Directors under Section 4(b), and effective February 14, 2013 to qualify awards under the Plan for the performance-based compensation exemption under Section 162(m) of the Code, and in certain other respects.  The Plan was further amended and restated effective March 18, 2014 to increase the authorized Share limit under the Plan, to amend certain automatic grants to Outside Directors as well as to amend the ratio at which Shares previously subject to Stock Units or Restricted Share Awards again become available for future grants under the Plan.  The Plan was most recently amended and restated effective March 21, 2016 (“Restatement Effective Date”) subject to stockholder approval in order to, among other changes, increase the authorized Share limit under the Plan and impose a limit on grants to Outside Directors.

The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of restricted shares, stock units, options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights.

	
SECTION 2.
	
DEFINITIONS.

	
 
	
(a)
	
“Affiliate” shall mean any entity other than a Subsidiary, if the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries own not less than 50% of such entity.

	
 
	
(b)
	
“Award” shall mean any award of an Option, a SAR, a Restricted Share or a Stock Unit under the Plan.

	
 
	
(c)
	
“Award Agreement” shall mean the agreement between the Company and the recipient of an Award which contains the terms, conditions and restrictions pertaining to such Award.

A change in the composition of the Board of Directors occurs, as a result of which fewer than one-half of the incumbent directors are directors who either:

	
 
	
(A)
	
Had been directors of the Company on the “look-back date” (as defined below) (the “original directors”); or

	
 
	
(B)
	
Were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved (the “continuing directors”); or

	
 
	
(ii)
	
Any “person” (as defined below) who by the acquisition or aggregation of securities, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote at elections of directors (the “Base Capital Stock”); except that any change in the relative beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by any person resulting solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base Capital Stock, and any decrease thereafter in such person’s ownership of securities, shall be disregarded until such person increases in any manner, directly or indirectly, such person’s beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company; or

	
 
	
(iii)
	
The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding securities of each of (A) the continuing or surviving entity and (B) any direct or indirect parent corporation of such continuing or surviving entity; or

	
 
	
(iv)
	
The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Any other provision of this Section 2(d) notwithstanding, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur if the Company files a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial offering of Stock to the public.

(l)“Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(m)“Exercise Price” shall mean, in the case of an Option, the amount for which one Share may be purchased upon exercise of such Option, as specified in the applicable Stock Option Agreement. “Exercise Price,” in the case of a SAR, shall mean an amount, as specified in the applicable SAR Agreement, which is subtracted from the Fair Market Value of one Share in determining the amount payable upon exercise of such SAR.

(n)“Fair Market Value” with respect to a Share, shall mean the market price of one Share, determined by the Committee as follows:

	
 
	
(i)
	
If the Stock was traded over-the-counter on the date in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the last transaction price quoted for such date by the OTC Bulletin Board or, if not so quoted, shall be equal to the mean between the last reported representative bid and asked prices quoted for such date by the principal automated inter-dealer quotation system on which the Stock is quoted or, if the Stock is not quoted on any such system, by the Pink Quote system;

3

 

	
 
	
(ii)
	
If the Stock was traded on any established stock exchange (such as the New York Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Global Select Market) or national market system on the date in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the closing price reported for such date by the applicable exchange or system; and

	
 
	
(iii)
	
If none of the foregoing provisions is applicable, then the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Committee in good faith on such basis as it deems appropriate.

In all cases, the determination of Fair Market Value by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

(s)“Parent” shall mean any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations ending with the Company, if each of the corporations other than the Company owns stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain. A corporation that attains the status of a Parent on a date after the adoption of the Plan shall be a Parent commencing as of such date.

(t)“Participant” shall mean a person who holds an Award.

(u)“Performance Based Award” shall mean any Restricted Share Award, Stock Unit Award or Cash-Based Award granted to a Participant that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

4

 

(z)“Service” shall mean service as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director, subject to such further limitations as may be set forth in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.  Service does not terminate when an Employee goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law.  However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an Employee’s employment will be treated as terminating three months after such Employee went on leave, unless such Employee’s right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately returns to active work.  The Company determines which leaves of absence count toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

(aa)“Share” shall mean one share of Stock, as adjusted in accordance with Section 12 (if applicable).

(bb)“Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company.

(cc)“Stock Unit” shall mean a bookkeeping entry representing the Company’s obligation to deliver one Share (or distribute cash) on a future date in accordance with the provisions of a Stock Unit Award Agreement.

(dd)“Stock Unit Agreement” shall mean the agreement between the Company and the recipient of a Stock Unit which contains the terms, conditions and restrictions pertaining to such Stock Unit.

(ee)“Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, if the Company and/or one or more other Subsidiaries own not less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of such corporation. A corporation that attains the status of a Subsidiary on a date after the adoption of the Plan shall be considered a Subsidiary commencing as of such date.

(ff)“Total and Permanent Disability” shall mean any permanent and total disability as defined by Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

	
SECTION 3.
	
ADMINISTRATION.

(a)Committee Composition. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board. The Committee shall consist of two or more directors of the Company. In addition, to the extent required by the Board, the composition of the Committee shall satisfy (i) such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act; and (ii) such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside directors acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

5

 

(b)Committee for Non-Officer Grants. The Board may also appoint one or more separate committees of the Board, each composed of one or more directors of the Company who need not satisfy the requirements of Section 3(a), who may administer the Plan with respect to Employees who are not considered officers or directors of the Company under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, may grant Awards under the Plan to such Employees and may determine all terms of such grants. Within the limitations of the preceding sentence, any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall include such committee or committees appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Board of Directors may also authorize one or more officers of the Company to designate Employees, other than officers under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to receive Awards and/or to determine the number of such Awards to be received by such persons; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall specify the total number of Awards that such officers may so award.

(c)Committee Procedures. The Board of Directors shall designate one of the members of the Committee as chairman. The Committee may hold meetings at such times and places as it shall determine. The acts of a majority of the Committee members present at meetings at which a quorum exists, or acts reduced to or approved in writing (including via email) by all Committee members, shall be valid acts of the Committee.

(d)Committee Responsibilities. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full authority and discretion to take the following actions:

	
 
	
(i)
	
To interpret the Plan and to apply its provisions;

	
 
	
(ii)
	
To adopt, amend or rescind rules, procedures and forms relating to the Plan;

	
 
	
(iii)
	
To adopt, amend or terminate sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws including qualifying for preferred tax treatment under applicable foreign tax laws;

	
 
	
(iv)
	
To authorize any person to execute, on behalf of the Company, any instrument required to carry out the purposes of the Plan;

	
 
	
(v)
	
To determine when Awards are to be granted under the Plan;

	
 
	
(vi)
	
To select the Participants to whom Awards are to be granted;

To prescribe the terms and conditions of each Award, including (without limitation) the Exercise Price and Purchase Price, and the vesting or duration of the Award (including accelerating the vesting of Awards, either at the time of the Award or thereafter, without the consent of the Participant), to determine whether an Option is to be classified as an ISO or as a Nonstatutory Option, and to specify the provisions of the agreement relating to such Award;

6

 

	
 
	
(ix)
	
To amend any outstanding Award Agreement, subject to applicable legal restrictions and to the consent of the Participant if the Participant’s rights or obligations would be materially impaired;

	
 
	
(x)
	
To prescribe the consideration for the grant of each Award or other right under the Plan and to determine the sufficiency of such consideration;

	
 
	
(xi)
	
To determine the disposition of each Award or other right under the Plan in the event of a Participant’s divorce or dissolution of marriage;

	
 
	
(xii)
	
To determine whether Awards under the Plan will be granted in replacement of other grants under an incentive or other compensation plan of an acquired business;

	
 
	
(xiii)
	
To correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement;

	
 
	
(xiv)
	
To establish or verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, exercisability, vesting and/or ability to retain any Award; and

	
 
	
(xv)
	
To take any other actions deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee may designate persons other than members of the Committee to carry out its responsibilities and may prescribe such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate, except that the Committee may not delegate its authority with regard to the selection for participation of or the granting of Awards or other rights under the Plan to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Participants and all persons deriving their rights from a Participant. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action that he has taken or has failed to take in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award under the Plan.

(e)Cancellation and Re-grant of Stock Awards.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, neither the Board nor any Committee, nor their designees, shall have the authority to: (i) amend the terms of outstanding Options or SARs to reduce the Exercise Price thereof, or (ii) cancel outstanding Options or SARs with an Exercise Price above the current Fair Market Value per Share in exchange for another Option, SAR or other Award or for cash, unless the stockholders of the Company have previously approved such an action or such action relates to an adjustment pursuant to Section 12.

	
SECTION 4.
	
ELIGIBILITY.

(a)General Rule. Only common-law employees of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. Only Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors shall be eligible for the grant of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Nonstatutory Options or SARs.

(b)
	
Automatic Grants to Outside Directors.

	
 
	
(i)
	
Each Outside Director who first joins the Board of Directors on or after December 8, 2011, and who was not previously an Employee, shall receive a Nonstatutory Option, subject to approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders, to purchase 25,000 Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 12) on the date of his or her election to the Board of Directors.

SECTION 5.
	
STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

(a)Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance as Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 13,500,000 Shares, plus (x) any Shares subject to outstanding options under the Company’s 1998 Stock Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”) on the effective date of this Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised, such number of additional Shares not to exceed an aggregate of 2,000,000 Shares, and (y) an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2010 and continuing only through the fiscal year beginning in 2013, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 2,000,000 Shares, (ii) 4% of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding year or (iii) an amount determined by the Board (the “Absolute Share Limit”).  Any Shares granted in connection with Options and SARs shall be counted against the Absolute Share Limit as one (1) Share for every one (1) Option or SAR awarded.  Any Shares granted in connection with Stock Unit or Restricted Share Awards granted on or after February 14, 2013 but before March 18, 2014 shall be counted against this limit as 1.72 Shares for every one (1) Share granted in connection with such Award.  Any Shares granted in connection with Stock Unit or Restricted Share Awards granted on or after March 18, 2014 but before the Restatement Effective Date shall be counted against this limit as 1.8 Shares for every one (1) Share granted in connection with such Award.  Any Shares granted in connection with Stock Unit or Restricted Share Awards granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date shall be counted against this limit as 1.9 Shares for every one (1) Share granted in connection with such Award.  The limitations of this Section 5(a) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12.  The number of Shares that are subject to Awards outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

(b)Section 162(m) Award Limitation. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Plan, and subject to the provisions of Section 12, no Participant may receive Options or SARs under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to an aggregate of more than 500,000 Shares, and no more than two times this amount in the first year of employment.

(c)Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any reason before being exercised or settled, or an Award is settled in cash without the delivery of Shares to the holder, then any Shares subject to the Award shall again become available for Awards under the Plan.  Any Shares that again become available for future grants pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall be added back as one (1) Share if such Shares were subject to Options or SARs, and as either 1.72 Shares if such Shares were subject to other Stock Unit or Restricted Share Awards granted on or after February 14, 2013 but before March 18, 2014, or as 1.8 Shares if such Shares were subject to other Stock Unit or Restricted Share Awards granted on or after March 18, 2014 but before the Restatement Effective Date, or as 1.9 Shares if such Shares were subject to other Stock Unit or Restricted Share Awards granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such Shares are (a) Shares 

10

 

tendered or withheld by the Company in payment of the Exercise Price of an Option, or (b) Shares delivered or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, and the full number of SARs granted that are to be settled by the issuance of Shares shall be counted against the number of Shares available for award under the Plan, regardless of the number of Shares actually issued upon settlement of such SAR.  Notwithstanding the foregoing. the number of Shares that may be delivered in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of ISOs granted under the Plan shall not exceed the Absolute Share Limit plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to this Section 5(c).

	
SECTION 6.
	
RESTRICTED SHARES.

(a)Restricted Share Award Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Share Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Share Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

(b)Payment for Awards.  Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services.

(c)Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Share Award Agreement. A Restricted Share Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(d)Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted Share Award Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid.

(e)Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Share Award Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.

11

 

	
SECTION 7.
	
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

(a)Stock Option Award Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Award Agreement. The Stock Option Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

(b)Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Award Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 12.

(c)Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Award Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise provided in 4(c), and the Exercise Price of an NSO shall not be less 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with an Exercise Price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.  Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms described in Section 8.

(d)Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Participant shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Participant shall also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.

(e)Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Award Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Award Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an Option shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant (five years for ISOs granted to Employees described in Section 4(c)). A Stock Option Award Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(e), the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.

12

 

(f)Exercise of Options. Each Stock Option Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Participant’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Participant by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

(g)Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(h)No Stockholder or Dividend Rights. A Participant, or a transferee of a Participant, shall have no rights as a stockholder (including dividend rights) with respect to any Shares covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 12.  No dividend equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options.

(i)Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, including Section 3(e) (which limits the cancellation and re-grant of stock awards without stockholder approval), the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding options. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option.

(j)Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Award Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.

	
SECTION 8.
	
PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

(a)General Rule. The entire Exercise Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through Section 8(h) below.

(b)Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Participant or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Participant shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

13

 

(c)Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of the Award) of the value of the services rendered by the Participant and the sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b).

(d)Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(e)Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(f)Net Exercise .  To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option shall be reduced by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price (plus tax withholdings, if applicable) and any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price (and/or applicable tax withholdings) not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued shall be paid by the Participant in cash other form of payment permitted under the Stock Option Award Agreement.

(g)Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement or Restricted Share Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note.

(h)Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement or Restricted Share Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

(i)Limitations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Award Agreement or Restricted Share Award Agreement to the contrary, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

	
SECTION 9.
	
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

(a)SAR Award Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

14

 

(b)Number of Shares. Each SAR Award Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 12.

(c)Exercise Price. Each SAR Award Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price of a SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, SARs may be granted with an Exercise Price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.  Subject to the foregoing in this Section 9(c), the Exercise Price under any SAR shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(d)Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Award Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR Award Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR; provided that the term of a SAR shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant.  A SAR Award Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s service.  SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.

(e)Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(f)Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.

(g)Modification or Extension of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, including Section 3(e) (which limits the cancellation and re-grant of stock awards without stockholder approval), the Committee may modify or extend outstanding SARs. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the holder, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.

(h)Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of SARs shall have no rights as a stockholder (including dividend rights) with respect to any Shares covered by his SAR unless and until the date of the issuance of Shares in settlement of such SAR. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 12.  No dividend equivalents shall be payable with respect to SARs.

15

 

	
SECTION 10.
	
STOCK UNITS.

(a)Stock Unit Award Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

(b)Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.

(c)Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Award Agreement. A Stock Unit Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(d)Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Stock Units to which they attach.

(e)Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. A Stock Unit Award Agreement may provide that vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. A Stock Unit Award Agreement may provide that the distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12.

16

 

(f)Death of Participant. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the Participant’s death shall be distributed to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each Participant of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Participant’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, then any Stock Unit Award that becomes payable after the Participant’s death shall be distributed to the Participant’s estate.

(g)Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Award Agreement.

	
SECTION 11.
	
CASH-BASED AWARDS

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Cash-Based Awards to any Participant in such number or amount and upon such terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant and specify in an applicable Award Agreement.  The Committee shall determine the maximum duration of the Cash-Based Award, the amount of cash which may be payable pursuant to the Cash-Based Award, the conditions upon which the Cash-Based Award shall become vested or payable, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.  Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges as determined by the Committee.  Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award and may be made in cash or in shares of Stock, as the Committee determines.

	
SECTION 12.
	
ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

(a)Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate and equitable adjustments in:

	
 
	
(i)
	
The number of Shares available for future Awards under Section 5;

	
 
	
(ii)
	
The limitations set forth in Sections 5(a) and (b) and Section 18(c)(v);

	
 
	
(iii)
	
The number of NSOs to be granted to Outside Directors under Section 4(b);

	
 
	
(iv)
	
The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award; and

	
 
	
(v)
	
The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR.

17

 

(b)Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

(c)Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, such agreement shall provide for:

	
 
	
(i)
	
The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation;

	
 
	
(ii)
	
The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary;

	
 
	
(iii)
	
The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;

	
 
	
(iv)
	
Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards; or

	
 
	
(v)
	
Settlement of the intrinsic value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards.

Any acceleration of payment of an amount that is subject to Section 409A of the Code will be delayed, if necessary, until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Section 409A without triggering any additional taxes applicable under Section 409A.

(d)Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 12, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.  Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Award. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.  In the event of any change affecting the Shares or the Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Award, including a merger or other reorganization, for reasons of administrative convenience, the Company in its sole discretion may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of up to thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence of such event.

18

 

	
SECTION 13.
	
DEFERRAL OF AWARDS.

(a)Committee Powers. Subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant to:

	
 
	
(i)
	
Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books;

	
 
	
(ii)
	
Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an equal number of Stock Units; or

	
 
	
(iii)
	
Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant.

(b)General Rules. A deferred compensation account established under this Section 13 may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 13.

	
SECTION 14.
	
AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.

The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan. Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under Section 5.

	
SECTION 15.
	
PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR’S FEES IN SECURITIES.

(a)Effective Date. No provision of this Section 15 shall be effective unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision.

Executive Employment Agreement • Ginzburg w/ Delek US Holdings, Inc. • June 1, 2017 • Page 6 of 14

		
	(i)
	If Executive terminates his employment during the Term other than for a Good Reason and provides at least six months advance written notice of termination (even if the Required Notice is less than six months), Executive shall be entitled to a single lump sum payment upon termination equal to $187,500 and the costs of continuing family health insurance coverage under COBRA for 12 months following termination of employment, provided, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, (A) pay such amounts directly to the applicable provider or (B) pay an equivalent amount directly to Executive.

		
	(ii)
	If Executive (A) terminates his employment during the Term other than for a Good Reason without providing the Required Notice or (B) fails to render services to the Company in a diligent and good faith manner after the delivery of the Required Notice and continues or repeats such failure after receiving written notice of such failure, he shall receive compensation only in the manner stated in Section 10(a) and the Company may immediately terminate his employment.  This Section 10(d)(ii) shall not apply if Executive is terminated by reason of death or Disability.

		
	(e)
	Accelerated Termination After Notice.  Nothing herein shall limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement and/or Executive’s employment after the Company receives notice of termination from him.  However, if the Company receives the Required Notice from Executive and then terminates this Agreement and/or his employment for any reason other than for Cause or under Section 10(d)(ii)(B), his employment shall terminate on (and post-employment provisions of Sections 7, 8(b), 8(c) and 9 shall be effective from) the date on which the Company terminates Executive’s employment but he shall be entitled to a single lump sum payment of the amount of such compensation, bonuses, vesting and other benefits as if his termination had been effective on the earlier of (i) the termination date specified in his notice of termination or (ii) three months following his notice of termination.

		
	(f)
	Separation Release.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, but subject to any applicable six-month delay required by Section 18 hereof and Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), if a payment is otherwise payable to Executive hereunder, payment of such Separation Payment shall be payable in cash to him at the end of the month following the month in which his separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A) occurs (or such later date as may be required by law).  However, Executive’s right to receive the Separation Payment shall be conditioned upon (i) his execution and delivery to the Company of a Separation Release (and the expiration of any statutorily mandated revocation period) within 30 days (or such longer period as may be required by law) following the separation from service date and (ii) his continued compliance with this Agreement and any other restrictive covenants to which he is bound.  If Executive fails to timely execute and deliver the Separation Release or if he timely revokes his acceptance of the Separation Release thereafter (if such revocation is permitted), he shall not be entitled to the Separation Payment and shall repay any Separation Payment received.  If the foregoing consideration and revocation periods begin in one taxable year and end in a second taxable year, payment will be made in the second taxable year.

		
	(g)
	Termination upon Disability or Death.  In the event that Executive’s employment ceases due to his death or Disability, Executive shall be entitled to the following (in addition to all accrued compensation and benefits through the date of termination): (i) the costs of continuing family health insurance coverage under COBRA for 12 months following 

Executive Employment Agreement • Ginzburg w/ Delek US Holdings, Inc. • June 1, 2017 • Page 7 of 14

termination of employment, provided, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, (A) pay such amounts directly to the applicable provider or (B) pay an equivalent amount directly to Executive, (ii) the Post-Employment Annual Bonus and (iii) Accelerated Vesting upon termination.

		
	(h)
	Definitions.  The following terms shall have the following meanings as used in this Agreement:

		
	(i)
	“Accelerated Vesting” means the immediate vesting of all unvested equity awards granted to Executive under the Plans.  However, any Accelerated Vesting that occurs other than in the context of a Change in Control will apply to unvested (A) performance awards on a prorated basis through the termination of employment, based on actual results evaluated after the close of the applicable performance period and payable in a lump sum at the same time as performance awards are paid to executives of the Company generally and (B) full value equity awards (e.g., restricted stock, restricted stock units and phantom units) and appreciation equity awards (e.g., non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights) only to the extent that such awards that would have vested if Executive’s employment had continued during a period equal to the lesser of six months following termination of employment or the balance of the Term.

		
	(ii)
	“Cause” means Executive’s: (A) fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct involving the Company or its affiliates or willful breach of a fiduciary duty, including, without limitation, Section 7 hereof, owed to the Company or its affiliates, (B) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or crime involving moral turpitude or (C) deliberate and continual refusal to perform his duties in any material respect on substantially a full-time basis or to act in accordance with any specific and lawful instruction of his supervisor provided that Executive has been given written notice of such conduct and such conduct is not cured within 30 days thereafter.

		
	(iii)
	“Good Reason” means (A) the Company materially breaches this Agreement (it being acknowledged that any failure to pay any significant compensation or benefits at the times due under this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach) or (B) the Company reduces Executive’s Base Compensation under Section 3 other than as part of a base compensation reduction plan generally applicable to other similar senior executive employees.

		
	(iv)
	“Release Expiration Date” shall mean the date of the expiration of any and all waiting and revocation periods in the Separation Release.

		
	(v)
	“Disability” means the inability of Executive to perform the customary duties of his employment or other service with the Company or its affiliates by reason of a physical or mental incapacity or illness that is expected to result in death or to be of indefinite duration, as determined by a duly licensed physician selected by the Company. 

		
	(vi)
	“Post-Employment Annual Bonus” shall mean the Annual Bonus to which Executive would have otherwise been entitled if his employment had continued 

Executive Employment Agreement • Ginzburg w/ Delek US Holdings, Inc. • June 1, 2017 • Page 8 of 14

through the end of the bonus year based upon the actual performance of the Company, prorated for the period of actual employment during the bonus year, and paid upon the payment of the annual bonuses to senior executives of the Company pursuant to the Company’s annual bonus programs.

		
	(vii)
	“Separation Release” means a general release of claims against the Company (and its subsidiaries and affiliates) in a form reasonably satisfactory to Executive and the Company that pertains to all claims related to Executive’s employment and the termination of his employment and that contains appropriate anti-disparagement and continuing confidentiality covenants.

		
	(viii)
	“Separation Payment” shall mean an amount equal to the sum of $375,000 and Executive’s target Annual Bonus as in effect on November 2, 2016 multiplied by (A) 2.0 in the case of a Change in Control and (B) 1.5 in all other cases.  The Separation Payment shall be payable in a cash lump sum pursuant to Section 10(f).  Executive shall have no responsibility for mitigating the amount of any payment provided for herein by seeking other employment or otherwise, and any such payment will not be reduced in the event such other employment is obtained.

		
	11.
	Change in Control.

		
	(a)
	If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason within two years following a Change in Control, the termination of his employment shall be deemed to have occurred in the context of a Change in Control, and he shall be entitled to the separation benefits set forth in Section 10(c); provided, however, that if the separation benefits would result in an excess parachute payment under Internal revenue Code Section 280G(a), the separation benefits shall be reduced so as not to result in an excess parachute payment.

		
	(b)
	For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Company shall mean any of the following:

		
	(i)
	Any “person” (as defined in Section 13(h)(8)(E) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (or any successor to all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) representing more than 30% of the combined voting power of the Company’s (or such successor’s) then outstanding voting securities that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company (other than as a result of an issuance of securities initiated by the Company (or such successor) in the ordinary course of business);

		
	(ii)
	As the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, less than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company or any successor company or entity entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors of the Company or such other corporation or entity after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders 

Executive Employment Agreement • Ginzburg w/ Delek US Holdings, Inc. • June 1, 2017 • Page 9 of 14

of the Company’s securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company immediately prior to such transaction;

		
	(iii)
	All or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred;

		
	(iv)
	The Company’s stockholders approve a plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 

		
	(v)
	During any 12 month period within the Term, Continuing Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board.  For this purpose, a “Continuing Director” is any person who at the beginning of the Term was a member of the Board, or any person first elected to the Board during the Term whose election, or the nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Continuing Directors then in office, but excluding any person (A) initially appointed or elected to office as result of either an actual or threatened election and/or proxy contest by or on behalf of any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the Board, or (B) designated by any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) ) who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Section 11(b)(i) through (iv).

For the avoidance of doubt, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred under subparagraphs (i)-(v) above unless such event also constitutes a “change in control event” as such term is defined in Section 409A.

		
	12.
	Survival of Terms.  The provisions of Sections 7, 8(b), 8(c), 9 and 10 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and will continue in effect following the termination of Executive’s employment for the periods described therein.  If a Change in Control occurs during the Term, the provisions of Section 11 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and will continue in effect following the Change in Control for the periods described therein.  The provisions of Section 8(a) shall survive the termination (but not the expiration) of this Agreement.

		
	13.
	Assignment.  This Agreement shall not be assignable by either party without the written consent of the other party except that the Company may assign this Agreement to a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.  Any failure by the Company to assign this Agreement to an unaffiliated third party successor upon the Company’s sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its business will be considered the termination of Executive’s employment in the context of a Change in Control effective upon the closing of the applicable transaction without an assignment to the successor, which closing constitutes a Change in Control.  Any failure by Executive to consent to the assignment of this Agreement to such unaffiliated third party successor will be considered the termination of his employment for a Good Reason other than in the context of a Change in Control effective upon the closing of the applicable Change in Control transaction without any assignment to the successor.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the payment of any benefits under this Section 13 shall be made in accordance with the applicable provision of Section 10 or 11 of this Agreement within 30 days of the closing date of the Change in Control transaction, and no payments will be made pursuant to this Section 13 if a Change in Control transaction does not occur.

Executive Employment Agreement • Ginzburg w/ Delek US Holdings, Inc. • June 1, 2017 • Page 10 of 14

		
	14.

	15.
	Interpretation.  Any Section, phrase or other provision of this Agreement that is determined by a court, arbitrator or arbitration panel of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable or in conflict with any applicable statute or rule, shall be deemed, if possible, to be modified or altered so that it is not unreasonable or in conflict or, if that is not possible, then it shall be deemed omitted from this Agreement.  The invalidity of any portion of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions.  Unless expressly stated to the contrary, all references to “days” in this Agreement shall mean calendar days.

		
	16.
	Prior Agreements / Amendments.  This Agreement (a) represents the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the employment of Executive by the Company on, and subsequent to, the Effective Date and (b) revokes and supersedes all prior agreements pertaining to the subject matter herein, whether written and oral, including, without limitation, the employment agreement between the parties dated July 1, 2015.  However, this Agreement does not nullify or otherwise affect any prior equity awards granted to Executive.  This Agreement shall not be subject to modification or amendment by any oral representation, or any written statement by either party, except for a dated writing signed by Executive and the Company.

		
	17.
	Notices.  All notices of any kind to be delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered or if sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier (e.g., FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.) or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at 7102 Commerce Way, Brentwood, Tennessee 37027, Attn: General Counsel, to Executive at his then-existing payroll address, or to such other address as the party to whom notice is to be given may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section.  Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been received: (a) if by personal delivery or nationally-recognized overnight courier, on the date of such delivery and (b) if by registered or certified mail, on the third postal service day following the date postmarked.

		
	18.
	Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law.  The state and federal courts for Davidson County, Tennessee shall be the exclusive venue for any litigation based in significant part upon this Agreement.

		
	19.
	Mediation / Arbitration.

		
	(a)
	Any dispute concerning a legally cognizable claim arising out of this Agreement or in connection with the employment of Executive by Company, including, without limitation, claims of breach of contract, fraud, unlawful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, defamation, tortious infliction of emotional distress, unfair competition, arbitrability and conversion (collectively a “Legal Dispute”) shall be resolved according to the following protocol:

Executive Employment Agreement • Ginzburg w/ Delek US Holdings, Inc. • June 1, 2017 • Page 11 of 14

		
	(i)
	The parties shall first submit the Legal Dispute to mediation under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and pursuant to the mediation rules and procedures promulgated by the AAA.  The Company shall pay the expenses associated with the mediation.

		
	(ii)
	In the event mediation is unsuccessful in fully resolving the Legal Dispute, binding arbitration shall be the method of final resolution.  The parties expressly waive their rights to bring action against one another in a court of law except as expressly provided herein.  In addition to remedies at law, the parties acknowledge that failure to comply with this provision shall entitle the non-breaching party to injunctive relief to enjoin the actions of the breaching party.  Any Legal Dispute submitted to Arbitration shall be under the auspices of the AAA and pursuant to the “National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes,” or any similar identified rules promulgated at such time the Legal Dispute is submitted for resolution.  All mediation and arbitration hearings shall take place in either Davidson or Williamson County, Tennessee.  The Company shall pay the filing expenses associated with the arbitration.  All other expenses and fees associated with the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the AAA rules.

		
	(b)
	Notice of submission of any Legal Dispute to mediation shall be provided no later than one year following the date the submitting party became aware, or should have become aware of, the conduct constituting the alleged claims.  Failure to do so shall result in the irrevocable waiver of the claim made in the Legal Dispute.

		
	(c)
	Notwithstanding that mediation and arbitration are established as the exclusive procedures for resolution of any Legal Dispute, (i) either party may apply to an appropriate judicial or administrative forum for injunctive relief and (ii) claims by Company arising in connection with Sections 7, 8 and/or 9 may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.

		
	(d)
	With respect to any breach or attempted breach of Sections 7, 8 and/or 9 of this Agreement, each party acknowledges that a remedy at law will be inadequate, agrees that the Company will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief and agrees not to use as a defense that any party has an adequate remedy at law.  This Agreement shall be enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection herewith.  Such remedy shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.  No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy set forth in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

20.    Section 409A.

		
	(a)
	It is intended that each installment of the payments provided under this Agreement, if any, is a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A and the payments satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v).  Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, a termination of employment with the Company shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this 

Executive Employment Agreement • Ginzburg w/ Delek US Holdings, Inc. • June 1, 2017 • Page 12 of 14

Agreement providing for the payment of “deferred compensation” (as such term is defined in Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A and Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “separation,” “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”

		
	(b)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company determines (i) that on the date his employment with the Company terminates or at such other time that the Company determines to be relevant, Executive is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(i)(1)) of the Company and (ii) that any payments to be provided to him pursuant to this Agreement are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A if provided at the time otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payments shall be delayed until the date that is six months after the date of his “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company, or, if earlier, the date of his death.  Any payments delayed pursuant to this Section shall be made in a lump sum on the first business day of the seventh month following Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)), or, if earlier, the date of his death.

		
	(c)
	In addition, to the extent that any reimbursement, fringe benefit or other, similar plan or arrangement in which Executive participates during the term of his employment under this Agreement or thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, then such amount shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations, including (i) the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment under such plan or arrangement in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in any other calendar year (except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose a generally applicable limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid), (ii) subject to any shorter time periods provided herein or the applicable plans or arrangements, any reimbursement or payment of an expense under such plan or arrangement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

		
	(d)
	For the avoidance of doubt, any payment due under this Agreement within a period following Executive’s termination of employment or other event, shall be made on a date during such period as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

		
	(e)
	Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A.

		
	(f)
	This Agreement is intended to comply with the applicable requirements under Section 409A and the related Treasury Regulations and guidance issued by the Department of the Treasury, as modified from time to time, including exceptions and exemptions provided for therein (the “409A Requirements”).  Accordingly, this Agreement shall be administered, construed 

Executive Employment Agreement • Ginzburg w/ Delek US Holdings, Inc. • June 1, 2017 • Page 13 of 14

and interpreted in a manner to comply with the 409A Requirements.  Specifically, and without limiting the foregoing, if any terms set forth in this Agreement are considered to be ambiguous, such terms shall be administered, construed and interpreted in a manner to comply with the 409A Requirements.

In witness whereof, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date set forth above.
