(the “Business Combination Closing”), the Company shall issue and sell, and the Purchaser shall purchase,

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

 

1.           
Sale and Purchase.

 

(a)           
Forward Purchase Securities.

 

(i)            The
Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to a maximum of 27,000,000
Forward Purchase Securities (the “Maximum Units”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase
Security, up to a maximum aggregate purchase price of $270,000,000 (the “FPS Purchase Price”).

 

     

     

    

 

(ii)          
Each Forward Purchase Warrant will have the same terms as the Company’s private placement warrants, purchased by Bluescape
Sponsor LLC and Purchaser in a private placement occurring simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, and will be subject to the
terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement to be entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as Warrant Agent, in connection with the IPO (the “Warrant Agreement”).

 

(iii)          The number of Forward Purchase Securities to be issued and sold by the Company and purchased by the Purchaser hereunder
shall be determined as follows:

 

(1)           As
soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Company’s entry into a definitive
agreement for the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Agreement”), the Company shall provide
the Purchaser with notice (the “Initial Company Notice”) that it desires the Purchaser to purchase the
Maximum Units pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the Business Combination Closing. Following delivery of the Initial
Company Notice, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with such other information as the Purchaser (or any applicable Transferee
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof) may reasonably request so that the Purchaser (or such Transferee) may seek the approval of its
investment committee to consummate the purchase of the Forward Purchase Securities hereunder.

 

(2)           Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Initial Company Notice, the Purchaser shall provide the Company with
notice (the “Initial Purchaser Notice”) of the decision of its investment committee as to the number
of Forward Purchase Securities it wishes to purchase pursuant to this Agreement, if any, which shall not exceed the Maximum Units,
which notice shall constitute the binding obligation of the Purchaser to purchase such number of Forward Purchase Securities, subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(3)           At
least two (2) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with an updated notice
(the “Final Company Notice”) including:

 

a.            
its determination, based on the actual number of Public Shares (as defined below) validly submitted for redemption
or other changes in the cash requirements, of the number of Forward Purchase Securities that it desires the Purchaser to purchase
pursuant to this Agreement;

 

b.            
the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing; and

 

c.             
instructions for wiring the FPS Purchase Price.

 

(4)          
At least one (1) Business Day before the Business Combination Closing, the Purchaser shall provide the Company with an updated
notice (the “Final Purchaser Notice”) of the number of Forward Purchase Securities it will be obligated
to purchase pursuant to this Agreement, with no further notification or confirmation necessary from the Company, which number (x)
shall not be less than the lesser of (A) the number of Forward Purchase Securities that the Purchaser was obligated to purchase
pursuant to Section 1(a)(iii)(2) as indicated in the Initial Purchaser Notice and (B) the number of Forward Purchase Securities
that the Company desires the Purchaser to purchase as specified in the Final Company Notice and (y) may be, at the option of the
Purchaser, up to the Maximum Units.

 

    2

     

    

 

(iv)          In the event that any Business Combination Agreement is terminated or the transaction contemplated thereby is abandoned,
the procedures completed pursuant to clause (iii) above to determine the number of Forward Purchase Securities to be purchased
by the Purchaser in connection with such Business Combination Agreement shall be disregarded and the provisions of clause (iii)
above must be separately completed for each Business Combination Agreement entered into by the Company.

 

(v)           The closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Securities (the “Forward Closing”) shall be held on
the same date and concurrently with the Business Combination Closing (such date being referred to as the “Forward Closing
Date”). At least one (1) Business Day prior to the Forward Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company
the FPS Purchase Price for the Forward Purchase Securities by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the
account specified by the Company in the Final Company Notice to be held in escrow until the Forward Closing. Immediately prior
to the Forward Closing on the Forward Closing Date, (i) the FPS Purchase Price shall be released from escrow automatically and
without further action by the Company or the Purchaser, and (ii) upon such release, the Company shall issue the Forward Purchase
Securities to the Purchaser in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those
arising under state or federal securities laws), registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee in accordance with its
delivery instructions), or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable. In the event the Business Combination Closing
does not occur within five (5) Business Days of the date scheduled for closing, the Forward Closing shall not occur and the Company
shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the FPS Purchase Price to the Purchaser. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a
legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the
City of New York, New York.

 

(b)          
Delivery of Forward Purchase Securities.

 

(i)          
The Company shall register the Purchaser as the owner of the Forward Purchase Securities purchased by the Purchaser hereunder
in the register of members of the Company and with the Company’s transfer agent by book entry on or promptly after (but in
no event more than two (2) Business Days after) the date of the Forward Closing.

 

(ii)           Each register and book entry for the Forward Purchase Securities purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall contain a notation,
and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Forward Purchase Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend,
in substantially the following form:

 

    3

     

    

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION,
AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS.”

 

(c)          
Legend Removal. If the Forward Purchase Securities are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and
without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), then at the Purchaser’s request, the Company will,
at its sole expense, cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(b)(ii) hereof. In connection
therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered
to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the
transfer agent, that authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer such Forward Purchase Securities without any such legend;
provided, however, that the Company will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization or certificate
or direction if it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could reasonably be expected to result in or facilitate transfers
of Forward Purchase Securities in violation of applicable law.

 

(d)          
Registration Rights. The Purchaser shall have registration rights with respect to the Forward Purchase Securities
as set forth on Exhibit A (the “Registration Rights”).

 

2.            Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows, as of the date hereof:

 

(a)           Organization
and Power. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
formation (if the concept of “good standing” is a recognized concept in such jurisdiction) and has all requisite power
and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

 

(b)            Authorization. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when
executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable
against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally,
(ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, or
(iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Registration Rights may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws.

 

(c)           Governmental
Consents and Filings. Assuming that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby
will be structured in a manner such that the consent of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pursuant to Section 203 of the
Federal Power Act will not be required in connection therewith, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required (other
than a potential Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 filing) on the part of the Purchaser in connection with
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

    4

     

    

 

(d)           Compliance with Other Instruments. Assuming the Business Combination complies with Zimmer Partners, LP’s
investment objective set forth on Annex A, the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation
by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions
of its organizational documents, if applicable, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party
or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under
any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (v) of any provision of federal
or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have a material
adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(e)          
Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s
representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that
the Forward Purchase Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of law. By executing
this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to
any of the Forward Purchase Securities. If the Purchaser was formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Forward Purchase
Securities, each of its equity owners is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company,
a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity or any government or any
department or agency thereof.

 

(f)           
Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management,
financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities, as well as the terms
of the IPO, with the Company’s management.

 

(g)         
Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities
to the Purchaser has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent
and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Forward Purchase
Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to
these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified
by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges
that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Forward Purchase Securities, or any Class A Shares into which the
Forward Purchase Securities may be converted into or exercised for, for resale, except pursuant to the Registration Rights. The
Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various
requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Forward Purchase Securities,
and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no
obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company filed the Registration Statement for the
IPO with the SEC. The Purchaser understands that the offering of the Forward Purchase Securities hereunder is not, and is not intended
to be, part of the IPO, and that the Purchaser will not be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act with
respect to such offering of the Forward Purchase Securities.

 

    5

     

    

 

(h)           No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase Securities,
and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Securities.

 

(i)           
High Degree of Risk. The Purchaser understands that its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities
involves a high degree of risk which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment.

 

(j)             Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(k)           Foreign
Investors. If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended), the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws
of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Forward Purchase Securities or any use of this Agreement,
including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Forward Purchase Securities, (ii) any foreign
exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and
(iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer
of the Forward Purchase Securities. The Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the
Forward Purchase Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

 

(l)            No
General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser, nor, to its knowledge, any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders
or partners has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder, (i) engaged in any general solicitation,
or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities.

 

(m)          Residence.
The principal place of business of the Purchaser is the office located at the address of the Purchaser set forth in Section 8(a)
hereof.

 

(n)           Non-Public
Information. The Purchaser acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of
material non-public information relating to the Company.

 

    6

     

    

 

(o)           Adequacy
of Financing. At the time of the Forward Closing, the Purchaser will have available to it sufficient funds to satisfy its
obligations under this Agreement.

 

(p)           Affiliation
of Certain FINRA Members. The Purchaser is neither a person associated nor affiliated with any underwriter of the IPO or,
to its actual knowledge, any other member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that
is participating in the IPO.

 

(q)           No
Other Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this
Section 2 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any person acting on behalf
of the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (the “Purchaser Parties”) has made, makes

sale and purchase of the Forward Purchase Securities, and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty.
Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement and in any

or pursuant to any understanding with it, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company prior to the
Business Combination Closing. For purposes of this Section 4(b), “Short Sales” shall include, without
limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other
than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts,
calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker
dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

 

(c)            Voting.
The Purchaser hereby agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection
with such proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser shall vote any Class A Shares owned by it in favor of any proposed Business
Combination. If the Purchaser fails to vote any Class A Shares it is required to vote hereunder in favor of a Proposed Business
Combination, the Purchaser hereby grants hereunder to the Company and any representative designated by the Company without further
action by the Purchaser a limited irrevocable power of attorney to effect such vote on behalf of the Purchaser, which power of
attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (other than any such representation or warranty that is made

All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure

    14

     

    

 

(h)           Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not
affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(i)             Governing
Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any dispute between the parties (whether grounded
in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.

 

(j)           
Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state
courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose
of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action
or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of New York or the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or
otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named
courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof
may not be enforced in or by such court.

 

(k)           Waiver
of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(l)            Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with
the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

 

(m)          Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision
of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator,
or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator,
or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such
that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable
and will be enforced.

 

(n)           Expenses. Each of the Company and the Purchaser will be responsible for payment of its own costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions

    15

     

    

 

(o)           Construction.
The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption
or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,”
and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine,
feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to
include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,”
 “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each
representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any
representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty
or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has
not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty,
or covenant.

 

(p)           Waiver.
No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional
or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder
or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

 

(q)           Confidentiality.
Except as may be required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange listing requirements, unless and until the transactions
contemplated hereby and the terms hereof are publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company, the parties hereto
shall keep confidential and shall not publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement.

 

(r)            Specific Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of
this Agreement was not performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

Exhibit A

 

Registration Rights

 

1.            
Within thirty (30) days after the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to file
a registration statement on Form S-3 for a secondary offering (including any successor registration statement covering the resale
of the Registrable Securities, a “Resale Shelf”) of (x) the Class A Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants
(and underlying Class A Shares) comprising the Forward Purchase Securities and (y) any other equity security of the Company issued
or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (x) by way of a share capitalization or share split or in connection
with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (collectively, for so long as such securities
are held by the Purchaser or its assignees under the Agreement (each, a “Holder”), the “Registrable
Securities”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided that if Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration,
the Company shall register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and undertake to register the Registrable
Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, (ii) to cause the Resale Shelf to be declared effective under the Securities
Act promptly thereafter, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the initial filing of the Resale Shelf, and (iii) to
maintain the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf with respect to the Registrable Securities until the earliest of (A) the date on
which such securities are no longer Registrable Securities and (B) the date all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Resale
Shelf can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement
to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act.

 

2.            
The Holders may, after the Resale Shelf becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten
Offering Notice”) specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Resale Shelf
is intended to be conducted through a firm commitment underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Offering”);
provided, however, that the Holders of Registrable Securities may not, without the Company’s prior written
consent, (i) launch an Underwritten Offering the anticipated gross proceeds of which shall be less than $10,000,000 (unless the
Holders are proposing to sell all of their remaining Registrable Securities), (ii) launch more than three Underwritten Offerings
at the request of the Holders within any three-hundred sixty-five (365) day-period or (iii) launch an Underwritten Offering within
the period commencing fourteen (14) days prior to and ending two (2) days following the Company’s scheduled earnings release
date for any fiscal quarter or year. In the event of an Underwritten Offering, the Holders representing a majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall select the managing underwriter(s) for the Underwritten
Offering; provided that the choice of such managing underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which
is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the underwriter(s) for any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this
paragraph 2 of this Exhibit A (each, a “Secondary Offering”) advise the Company and the Holders that,
in their good faith opinion, marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities that may be included in such Secondary
Offering, the number of securities to be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to the Holders that have requested
to participate in such Secondary Offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such Secondary Offering by such Holders, and (ii) second, to the holders of any other securities
of the Company that have been requested to be so included.

 

    A-1

     

    

 

3.           
Upon receipt of prior written notice by any Holder that they intend to effect a sale of Registrable Securities held by them
as are then registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate in such sale
(whether or not such sale constitutes an Underwritten Offering), including by amending or supplementing the prospectus related
to such Resale Shelf as may be reasonably requested by such Holder for so long as such Holder holds Registrable Securities.

 

4.            
In the event the Company is prohibited by applicable rule, regulation or interpretation by the staff (the “Staff”)
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from registering all of the Registrable Securities
on the Resale Shelf or the Staff requires that any Holder be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to
permit such registration statement to become effective, and such Holder does not consent in writing to being so named as an underwriter
in such registration statement, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on the Resale Shelf will be reduced on a
pro rata basis among all Holders to be so included, unless otherwise required by the Staff, so that the number of Registrable Securities
to be registered is permitted by the Staff and such Holder is not required to be named as an “underwriter”; provided,
that any Registrable Securities not registered due to this paragraph 4 shall thereafter as soon as allowed by the SEC guidance
be registered to the extent the prohibition no longer is applicable.

 

5.            
If at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement (a “Registration Statement”)
on its own behalf, or on behalf of any other Persons who have registration rights (“Other Holders”),
relating to an Underwritten Offering of ordinary shares (a “Company Offering”), then the Company will
provide the Holders with notice in writing (an “Offer Notice”) at least five (5) Business Days prior
to such filing, which Offer Notice will offer to include in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities held by each
Holder (the “Piggyback Securities”). Within three (3) Business Days after receiving the Offer Notice,
each Holder may make a written request (a “Piggyback Request”) to the Company to include some or all
of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement. If the underwriter(s) for any Company Offering advise
the Company that, in their good faith opinion, marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities that may be included
in the Company Offering, the number of securities to be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to the Company and
the Other Holders, if any; and (ii) second, to the Holders and any other holders of similar piggyback rights, based pro rata on
the value of the securities requested to be sold in such Company Offering by each requesting holder.

 

6.            
In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall enter into such customary agreements and take all such other
actions in connection therewith (including those requested by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities
to be included in such Underwritten Offering) in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities as are reasonably
necessary or required, and in such connection enter into a customary underwriting agreement that provides for customary opinions,
comfort letters and officer’s certificates and other customary deliverables.

 

7.           
The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with its obligation to prepare,
file and maintain the Resale Shelf (including the fees of its counsel and accountants). The Company shall also pay all Registration
Expenses. For purposes of this paragraph 7, “Registration Expenses” shall mean the out-of-pocket expenses
of any Secondary Offering and any Company Offering, including, without limitation, the following: (i) all registration and filing
fees (including fees with respect to filings required to be made with FINRA and any securities exchange on which the Registrable
Securities are then listed); (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii)
printing, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (iv) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; (v) reasonable
fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accountants of the Company; and (vi) reasonable fees and expenses of
one (1) legal counsel selected by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities participating in any
such Secondary Offering not to exceed $200,000 per Secondary Offering, but shall not include any incremental selling expenses relating
to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, underwriter marketing
costs and, other than as set forth in clause (vi) of this paragraph 7, the fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing
the Holders; and provided that the Company shall only be responsible for expenses under clause (vi) with respect to three Secondary
Offerings in any consecutive three-hundred sixty-five (365) day-period.

 

    A-2

     

    

 

8.            
The Company may suspend the use of a prospectus included in the Resale Shelf by furnishing to the Holders a written notice
(“Suspension Notice”) stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would be either (i)
prohibited by the Company’s insider trading policy (as if the Holders were covered by such policy) or (ii) materially detrimental
to the Company and its shareholders for such prospectus to be used at such time. The Company’s right to suspend the use of
such prospectus under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence may be exercised for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after
the date of such notice to the Holders; provided such period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days with the consent
of Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided further, that such right to suspend the use of a prospectus shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any
twelve (12) month period. The Holders shall not effect any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf at any
time after they have received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined
below). The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf following further
written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company to the Holders. The Company
shall act in good faith to permit any suspension period contemplated by this paragraph 8 to be concluded as promptly as reasonably
practicable.

 

9.            
The Holders agree that, except as required by applicable law, the Holders shall treat as confidential the receipt of any
Suspension Notice (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material nonpublic information of the Company) hereunder
and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company
until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes public, other than as a result of disclosure by a Holder of
Registrable Securities in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

 

10.         
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, their respective directors and officers, partners, members, managers,
employees, agents, and representatives and each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and any agent thereof (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable
costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or
other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under
the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), promptly as incurred, arising out of, based
upon or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Resale Shelf (or

1.Employment.  The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to continue employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending as provided in Section 4 hereof (the “Employment Period”).

Executive’s duties shall be subject to the power and authority of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Company Board”) and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sensata Technologies Holding plc, a public limited company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority and to overrule actions of officers of the Company.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall render to Parent and its Subsidiaries (as defined herein) administrative, financial and other executive and managerial services that are consistent with Executive’s position as the Board may from time to time direct.
(b)Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer and President, or to such other person or persons as may be designated from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board. Executive shall devote his full business time and attention (except for vacation periods consistent with past practice and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries.  In performing his duties and exercising his authority under this Agreement, Executive shall support and implement the business and strategic plans approved from time to time by the Board.  As long as Executive is 
1

employed by the Company, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, perform other services for compensation.  Unless otherwise agreed by Executive, Executive’s place of work shall be in the greater Attleboro, Massachusetts metropolitan area, except for travel reasonably required for Company business.
(c)For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiaries” shall mean any corporation or other entity of which the securities or other ownership interests having the voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other governing body are, at the time of determination, owned by Parent, directly or through one or more Subsidiaries.

3.Compensation and Benefits.
(a)During the Employment Period, Executive’s base salary shall be equal to the amount determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board on an annual basis (as adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”), which Base Salary shall be payable by the Company in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices (in effect from time to time). In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of the Company’s employee benefit programs for which senior executive employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries are generally eligible (assuming Executive and/or his family meet the eligibility requirements of those benefit programs) (the “Senior Executive Benefits”).  
(b)During the Employment Period, Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable business expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, which business expenses are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses. Reimbursement of the costs and expenses set forth in this Section 3(b) are subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such costs and expenses. 
(c)In addition to the Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (“Annual Bonus”) in an amount as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board equal to a certain percentage of the Base Salary then in effect, with such other terms and based upon Executive’s individual performance and/or the achievement by Parent and its Subsidiaries of financial and other objectives, in each case as established for each fiscal year by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board.  Executive will become 
2

entitled to receive an Annual Bonus, if any, only if Executive continues to be employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries through April 1st of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates and such Annual Bonus, if any, will be paid to Executive by the Company on or before April 15th of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates.  There is no guaranteed Annual Bonus under this Agreement, and for each applicable year, Executive’s Annual Bonus could be as low as zero or as high as the maximum Annual Bonus opportunity established for such year.
(d)The Company shall pay Executive a sign-on bonus in the amount of $100,000 (“Sign-On Bonus”), which shall be paid to Executive within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date.
(e)The Company will provide Executive with furnished living accommodations in the Attleboro, Massachusetts area for a maximum period of 12-months. I addition, the Company shall reimburse Executive for his relocation expenses in accordance with the Company’s relocation benefit program and policies (“Relocation Expenses”).

In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for a reason other than for Cause, Executive’s obligations to reimburse the Sign-On Bonus and Relocation Expenses shall lapse.
4.Term.
(a)The Employment Period shall end on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, but shall automatically be renewed on the same terms and conditions set forth herein (as may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) for additional one-year periods beginning on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and on each successive anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Company or Executive gives the other party written notice of the election not to renew the Employment Period at least 90 days prior to any such renewal date; provided that, the Employment Period shall terminate immediately upon Executive’s resignation (with or without Good Reason, as defined below), death or Disability (as defined below) or upon the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment (whether with Cause (as defined below) or without Cause).

Any stock options, RSUs or other equity awards granted to Executive shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Management Equity Plans and such awards.  The amounts and benefits described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 4(b) will be paid if and only if Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement with a general release to be provided by the Company in connection with Executive’s termination, and such release has become effective and no longer subject to revocation not later than sixty (60) days following the date of termination (the “General Release”) and only if Executive does not breach the provisions of Sections 5 through 7 hereof.  The amounts payable pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 4(b) shall be payable in regular installments over the twelve (12)-month period following the date of termination (the “Severance Period”) in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices as in effect on the date of termination, but in no event less frequently than monthly; provided that no amounts shall be paid until the first scheduled payment date following the date the General Release is executed and no longer subject to revocation, with the first such payment being in an amount equal to the total amount to which Executive would otherwise have been entitled during the period following the date of termination through such payment date if such deferral had not been required.  The amounts and benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(b) shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the applicable date of termination.
(c)If the Employment Period is terminated (1) by the Company with Cause, (2) due to Executive’s death or Disability or (3) by Executive’s resignation without Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) his Base Salary through the date of termination and (ii) any Annual Bonus amounts to which Executive is entitled determined by reference to years that ended on or prior to the date of termination in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3(c) (including the requirement that Executive remain employed by the Parent or its Subsidiaries through April 1 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates).  The amounts and benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(c) shall be paid to Executive or, in the event of death, Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the applicable date of termination.
(d)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Executive shall not be entitled to any other salary, bonuses, employee benefits or compensation from the Company or its Subsidiaries after the termination of the Employment Period and all of Executive’s rights to salary, bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder which would have accrued or become payable after the termination of the Employment Period (other than vested retirement 
4

benefits accrued on or prior to the termination of the Employment Period in accordance with the terms of the applicable retirement plan or other amounts owing hereunder as of the date of such termination that have not yet been paid) shall cease upon such termination, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA) or as provided under an applicable Management Equity Plan.
(e)Executive is under no obligation to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, and the Company shall have no right of offset for any amounts received by Executive from other employment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Executive’s coverage under the Company’s health and dental benefit plans will terminate when Executive becomes eligible under any employee benefit plan made available by another employer covering health and dental benefits.  Executive shall notify the Company within thirty (30) days after becoming eligible for any such benefits.
(f)Subject to applicable law, the Company may offset any amounts Executive owes Parent and its Subsidiaries against any amounts Parent and its Subsidiaries owe Executive hereunder.
(g)For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, with respect to Executive, one or more of the following:  (1) the indictment for a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude or the commission of any other act or any omission to act involving fraud with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers; (2) any act or any omission to act involving dishonesty or disloyalty that causes, or in the good faith judgment of the Board would be reasonably likely to cause, material harm (including reputational harm) to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers; (3) any (i) repeated abuse of alcohol or (ii) abuse of controlled substances, in either case, that adversely affects Executive’s work performance (and, in the case of clause (i), continues to occur at any time more than thirty (30) days after Executive has been given written notice thereof) or brings Parent or its Subsidiaries into public disgrace or disrepute; (4) the failure by Executive to substantially perform duties as reasonably directed by the Board, which non-performance remains uncured for ten (10) days after written notice thereof is given to Executive; (5) willful misconduct with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, which misconducts causes, or in the good faith judgment of the Board would be reasonably likely to cause, material harm (including reputational harm) to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; (6) the failure of Executive to cooperate in any audit or investigation of the business or financial practices of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; or (7) any breach by Executive of Sections 5 through 7 of this Agreement or any other material breach of this Agreement or the Management Equity Plans (as defined below).
(h)Executive will be “Disabled” only if, as a result of his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive is considered disabled under the Company’s long-term disability insurance plans.
(i)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean if Executive resigns from employment with the Company and, if applicable, its Subsidiaries prior to the end of the Employment Period as a result of one or more of the following reasons:  (1) any reduction 
5

in Executive’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus opportunity, without Executive’s prior consent, in either case other than any reduction which (i) is generally applicable to senior leadership team executives of the Company and (ii) does not exceed 15% of Executive’s Base Salary and Annual Bonus opportunity in the aggregate; (2) any material breach by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any agreement between such Persons and Executive; or (3) a change in Executive’s principal office without Executive’s prior consent to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s principal office on the date hereof; provided that, in order for Executive’s resignation with Good Reason to be effective hereunder, Executive must provide written notice to the Company of the event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial occurrence of such event, the Company shall have thirty (30) days after delivery of such written notice to cure such event to Executive’s reasonable satisfaction, and Executive’s resignation with Good Reason must be effective within thirty (30) days following the end of the Company’s cure period.
(j)For purposes of this Agreement, “Management Equity Plans” shall mean the First Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan of Parent, including any amendments thereto, together with any other incentive equity plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries under which Executive may have in the past received, or may in the future receive any equity or equity-based award, along with any Award Agreements (as defined therein) and any attachments thereto, as amended from time to time.
5.Confidential Information.
(a)Executive acknowledges that the continued success of Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, depends upon the use and protection of a large body of confidential and proprietary information.  All of such confidential and proprietary information now existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as “Confidential Information”.  Confidential Information will be interpreted as broadly as possible to include all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (1) related to Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ current or potential business and (2) is not generally or publicly known.  Confidential Information includes, without specific limitation, the information, observations and data obtained by Executive during the course of his performance with Parent and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Company) concerning the business and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ business or industry of which Executive has become or becomes aware during his employment, the persons or entities that are current, former or prospective suppliers or customers of any one or more of them during Executive’s course of performance, as well as development, transition and transformation plans, methodologies and methods of doing business, strategic, marketing and expansion plans, including plans regarding planned and potential sales, financial and business plans, employee lists and telephone numbers, locations of sales representatives, new and existing programs and services, prices and terms, customer service, integration processes, requirements and costs of providing service, support and equipment.  Therefore, Executive agrees that during his employment and thereafter he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any of such Confidential Information without the Board’s prior written consent, 
6

unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s acts or omissions to act; or (ii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order.  Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at the end of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request in writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (and copies thereof) relating to the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without limitation, all Confidential Information) that he may then possess or have under his control.  
(b)During the Employment Period, Executive shall not use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and shall not bring onto the premises of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or Person.  Executive shall use in the performance of his duties only information that is (1) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s and that is (i) common knowledge in the industry or (ii) is otherwise legally in the public domain; (2) otherwise provided or developed by Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (3) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or Person.  If at any time during the Employment Period, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may have to former employers, Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executive’s duties can be modified appropriately.
(c)Executive represents and warrants to the Parent and its Subsidiaries that Executive took nothing with him that belonged to any former employer when Executive left his position(s) with such employer(s) that Executive was not authorized to take and that Executive has nothing that contains any confidential information that belongs to any former employer.  If at any time Executive discovers that this representation is incorrect, Executive shall promptly return any such materials to Executive’s former employer(s).  Parent and its Subsidiaries do not want any such materials, and Executive shall not be permitted to use or refer to any such materials in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.
(d)Executive understands that Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.  During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 5(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for Parent or such Subsidiaries and Affiliates) or use, except in connection with his work for Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board in writing.
7

(e)Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made to Executive’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (3) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  Further, nothing in this Agreement prevents Executive from providing, without prior notice to the Company or its Affiliates, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations.
6.Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents.  Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any confidential information) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed or made by Executive (whether alone or jointly with others) while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether before or after the date of this Agreement (“Work Product”), belong to Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary.  At the Company’s expense, Executive shall perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).
7.Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation.
(a)In further consideration of the increased compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, Executive acknowledges that during the course of his employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, he has and shall become familiar with Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ corporate strategy, pricing and other market information, know-how, trade secrets and valuable customer, supplier and employee relationships, and with other Confidential Information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and that his services have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.  Accordingly, and in consideration for receiving the salary increase in connection with this Agreement and the potential severance benefits set forth in Section 4(b) above, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for one (1) year thereafter (the “Non-compete Period”), if the termination of Executive’s employment is voluntary or for “Cause” (as defined above), he shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, in a capacity similar to the position(s) held by Executive with the Company in the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment by the Company, and in a geographic area to which Executive was assigned, in which Executive provided services or had a material presence or influence, or for which Executive was directly or indirectly responsible, during the last two (2) years of his employment by the Company, own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, 
8

consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in any Competing Business that conducts operations or sales in such U.S. states, or such countries outside the United States, as Parent and its Subsidiaries conduct sales or operations as of the date of termination of the Employment Period. Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a publicly-traded corporation, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.  For purpose of this Agreement, “Competing Business” shall mean any business engaged (whether directly or indirectly) in the design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of products or services competitive with those designed, manufactured, marketed or sold by the Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has received sufficient mutually agreed-upon consideration for agreeing to be bound by the obligations in this Section, specifically the salary increase and the potential to receive severance set forth in Section 4(b) above.  The restrictions in this Section do not become effective until the 11th business day after this Agreement is executed by Executive.
(b)During the Non-compete Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another person or entity (1) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Parent or any Subsidiary to leave the employ of Parent or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Parent or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof; (2) knowingly hire any person who was an employee of Parent or any Subsidiary at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the termination of Executive’s employment; or (3) induce or encourage, or attempt to induce, encourage or solicit, any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Parent or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with Parent or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or business relation and Parent or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative or disparaging statements or communications regarding Parent or its Subsidiaries); provided that, in each case, this Section 7(b) shall only apply if Executive shall have done business with, or had direct or indirect supervisory or other responsibility for, the employee, customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, or business relation to which the applicable clause of this Section 7(b) applies.
(c)If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law.  Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are reasonable and that he has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with his legal counsel.
(d)Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 7 would cause Parent and its Subsidiaries irreparable harm.  Accordingly, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).  Further, in the event of an alleged breach or violation 
9

by Executive of this Section 7, the Non-compete Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.
8.Executive’s Representations.  Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive do not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which he is bound; (b) Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, non-compete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity; and (c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms.  Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that he has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
9.Recoupment Policy.

12.Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any action in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
13.Complete Agreement.  This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein, and other documents of even date herewith embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

15.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by means of facsimile), each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.
16.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including, without limitation, any Persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed the “Company” for the purposes of this Agreement), but will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company other than to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and legatees, but otherwise will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by Executive.  This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 16.
17.Choice of Law.  All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
11

18.Amendment and Waiver.  The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company (as approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board as appropriate) and Executive, and no course of conduct or course of dealing or failure or delay by any party hereto in enforcing or exercising any of the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Company’s right to terminate the Employment Period with Cause or, except as otherwise stated herein, Executive’s right to terminate the Employment Agreement with Good Reason) shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or be deemed to be an implied waiver of any provision of this Agreement.
19.Insurance.  The Company may, at its discretion, apply for and procure in its own name and for its own benefit life and/or disability insurance on Executive in any amount or amounts considered advisable.  Executive agrees to cooperate in any medical or other examination, supply any information and execute and deliver any applications or other instruments in writing as may be reasonably necessary to obtain and constitute such insurance.
20.Tax Matters; Code Section 409A.  
(a)The Company and its respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any amounts owing from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to Executive any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes, excise tax, or employment taxes (“Taxes”) imposed with respect to Executive’s compensation or other payments from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Executive’s ownership interest in Parent (including, without limitation, wages, bonuses, dividends, the receipt or exercise of equity options and/or the receipt or vesting of restricted equity).  In the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not make such deductions or withholdings, Executive shall indemnify the Company and its Subsidiaries for any amounts paid with respect to any such Taxes, together (if such failure to withhold was at the written direction of Executive) with any interest, penalties and related expenses thereto.  The Company does not guarantee any particular tax result to Executive with respect to any payments or benefits provided hereunder.
(b)The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company, or Parent or any of their Subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
(c)A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” 
12

within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (1) the first business day following the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive, and (2) the date of Executive’s death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A.  Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 19(c) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.
(d)To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (1) all such expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive; (2) any right to such reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (3) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.
(e)For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.  
(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.
21.Waiver of Jury Trial.  As a specifically bargained for inducement for each of the parties hereto to enter into this Agreement (after having the opportunity to consult with counsel), each party hereto expressly waives the right to trial by jury in any lawsuit or proceeding relating to or arising in any way from this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereby.
22.Corporate Opportunity.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall submit to the Board all business, commercial and investment opportunities or offers presented to Executive, or of which Executive becomes aware, at any time during the Employment Period, which opportunities relate to the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, or selling products or services competitive with those designed, manufactured, marketed or sold by the Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (“Corporate Opportunities”). During the Employment Period, unless approved by the Board, Executive shall not accept or pursue, directly or indirectly, any Corporate Opportunities on Executive’s own behalf.
13

23.Executive’s Cooperation.  During the Employment Period and thereafter, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and its Subsidiaries in any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding as reasonably requested by Parent or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, Executive being available to Parent and its Subsidiaries upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at Parent’s or any Subsidiary’s request to give truthful and accurate testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to Parent and its Subsidiaries all pertinent information and turning over to Parent and its Subsidiaries all relevant documents which are or may come into Executive’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments).  In the event Parent or any Subsidiary requires Executive’s cooperation in accordance with this Section 23, Parent shall pay Executive a per diem reasonably determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee and reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including lodging and meals, upon submission of receipts).
24.Nondisparagement.  Executive agrees not to, except as may be required by law, directly or indirectly, publicly or privately, make, publish or solicit, or encourage others to make, publish or solicit, any disparaging statements, comments, announcements, or remarks concerning Parent or its Affiliates, or any of their respective past and present directors, officers or employees.  Parent and its Affiliates agree not to, except as may be required by law, directly or indirectly, publicly or privately, make, publish or solicit, or encourage others to make, publish or solicit, any disparaging statements, comments, announcements or remarks concerning Executive or his employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
25.Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that he had the opportunity to consult with counsel regarding this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the Effective Date set forth above.
