 Exhibit 10.2 

EXECUTION VERSION 

Employment Agreement 

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of December 21, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), is
made by and between Allison Transmission, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor thereto, the “Company”), and David S. Graziosi (the “Executive”) (collectively referred to as the
“Parties”). 
 RECITALS 
  

	A.	It is the desire of the Company to continue to assure itself of the services of the Executive by entering into this Agreement. 

  

	B.	The Executive and the Company mutually desire that the Executive provide services to the Company on the terms herein provided. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements set forth below the Parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Employment. 

  

	 	(a)	General. The Company shall continue to employ the Executive and the Executive shall continue in the employ of the Company, for the period set forth in Section 1(b), in the position set forth in
Section 1(c), and upon the other terms and conditions herein provided. 

  

	 	(b)	Employment Term. The initial term of employment under this Agreement (the “Initial Term”) shall be for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on May 31, 2018, unless earlier
terminated as provided in Section 3. On May 31, 2018 and each successive anniversary of such date, the employment term hereunder shall automatically be extended for an additional one-year period (“Extension Terms”
and, collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless either Party gives notice of non-extension to the other no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the then-applicable anniversary (in which case the
Executive’s employment will terminate at the end of the then-applicable Term or any other date set by the Company in accordance with Section 3(b)) and subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 3.

  

	 	(c)	Position and Duties. The Executive shall serve as the President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Assistant Secretary of the Company and Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) with
such customary responsibilities, duties and authority as may from time to time be assigned to the Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Parent or the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors of Parent or an
authorized committee of either board (collectively, the “Board”). The Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Parent and the Board. The Executive shall devote substantially all his working time and
efforts to the business and affairs of the Company (which shall include service to its affiliates, if applicable). The Executive agrees to observe and comply with the rules and policies of the Company as adopted by the Company from time to time.
During the Term, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (i) serve on industry trade, civic or charitable boards or committees; (ii) deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements; (iii) manage his
personal investments and affairs; and (iv) serve on the board of directors of two for-profit enterprises with the Board’s prior consent, as long as such activities do not interfere with the performance of the Executive’s duties and
responsibilities as an employee of the Company. 

	2.	Compensation and Related Matters. 

  

	 	(a)	Annual Base Salary. During the Term, the Executive shall receive a base salary at a rate of $650,000 per annum through December 31, 2016, and increasing to $700,000 on January 1, 2017 (as applicable,
the “Annual Base Salary”), which shall be paid in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company. The Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed (and may be adjusted upward) at least annually by the Board.

  

	 	(b)	Bonus. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual performance-based bonus upon the achievement of certain performance goals, which performance goals shall be determined by the Board in
good faith after consultation with the Executive (the “Performance Bonus”). The Performance Bonus shall have a target equal to 115% of the Annual Base Salary, which shall become 125% of the Annual Base Salary beginning with the 2017
Performance Bonus period (as applicable, the “Target Bonus”) and the Executive shall have the ability to earn more (up to 287.5% of Annual Base Salary, which shall become 312.5% of Annual Base Salary beginning with the 2017
Performance Bonus period) or less than the Target Bonus depending on the achievement of performance goals for the particular year, as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	Over Performance: The amount of formulaic Performance Bonus earned by the Executive shall be increased by 6% of the Target Bonus for each percentage of performance that exceeds the target performance goals for
the year in question (rounded to the nearest percentage); provided, that the Performance Bonus earned in any one year shall not exceed 287.5% of Annual Base Salary, which shall become 312.5% of Annual Base Salary beginning with the 2017 Performance
Bonus period. For example, if the formulaic performance is 110% of target for the 2017 Performance Bonus period, the Executive’s formulaic payout is calculated at 200% of Annual Base Salary (i.e., 125% of Annual Base Salary for target, plus 75%
of Annual Base Salary (6% x 125% x 10) = a Performance Bonus total of 200% of Annual Base Salary). 

  
 2 

	 	(ii)	Threshold Performance: The amount of formulaic Performance Bonus earned by the Executive shall be decreased by 5% of the Target Bonus for every percentage of performance that is less than the target
performance goals for the year in question. For example, if the formulaic performance is 85% of target for the 2017 Performance Bonus period, the Executive’s formulaic payout is calculated at 31.25% of Annual Base Salary (i.e., 125% of Annual
Base Salary for target, less 5% x 125% x 15 = a net Performance Bonus total of 31.25% of Annual Base Salary). 

  

	 	(iii)	Payment of Performance Bonus: The Performance Bonus for a particular year shall become due and payable only if the Executive remains employed with the Company as of the January 1 following such year (the
“Service Trigger Date”). If a Performance Bonus becomes due and payable for a particular year, then the Company shall pay such Performance Bonus to the Executive on the same day that the Company pays similar bonuses to other
executives of the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall in no event pay the Performance Bonus to the Executive after March 15 of the year following the year in which the applicable Service Trigger Date occurs. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2(b), the Board may make reasonable adjustments, up or down, to the amount of Performance Bonus payable for any year to take into account extraordinary events, such as acquisitions, dispositions
and unusual or one time earnings fluctuations. 

  

	 	(c)	Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) Program. During the Term, the Executive will be eligible to receive long term incentive compensation in the form of equity compensation or cash, as determined by the Board
(the “LTI Program”). The Executive’s target value for the 2017-2019 LTI Program will be set at 250% of the Annual Base Salary (the “LTI Target”), with the LTI Target value comprised of 25% stock options, 25%
restricted stock units and 50% performance-based restricted stock units. 

  

	 	(d)	Retention Bonuses. During the Term, the Executive is entitled to receive the following retention bonuses (the “Retention Bonuses”): (i) $425,000, payable in the January 15, 2017
salaried payroll processing, subject to the Executive’s continued employment with the Company through such date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4), and (ii) $500,000, payable in the June 15, 2018 salaried payroll
processing, subject to the Executive’s continued employment with the Company through May 31, 2018 (except as otherwise provided in Section 4). 

 

	 	(e)	Restricted Stock Unit Award. Separate from any LTI Program, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, the Executive will receive 20,000 restricted stock units of Parent
(“RSUs”), which RSUs will vest in full on May 31, 2018, subject to the Executive’s continued employment with the Company through such date. 

  
 3 

	 	(f)	Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements of the Company, as may be amended from time to time, which are generally applicable
to senior officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, which as of the time of this Agreement include the Company’s health and welfare plan and the Equity Incentive Plan of Parent (pursuant to the terms to be set forth in a separate award
agreement). If the group life insurance program of the Company does not permit coverage for the Executive as a multiple of annual salary comparable to that afforded other salaried and/or executive employees (currently 10 times annual salary), the
Company will reimburse the Executive for the cost of an additional term life policy for the difference, up to a maximum of $10,000 annually. 

  

	 	(g)	Vacation. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, as it may be amended from time to time; provided, however, the Executive shall be
entitled to no less than twenty eight days of paid vacation each calendar year. Any vacation shall be taken at the reasonable and mutual convenience of the Company and the Executive. 

 

	 	(h)	Expenses. During the Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties to the Company in accordance with the
Company’s expense reimbursement policy. 

  

	 	(i)	Key Person Insurance. At any time during the Term, the Company shall have the right to insure the life of the Executive for the Company’s sole benefit. The Company shall have the right to determine the
amount of insurance and the type of policy. The Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in obtaining such insurance by submitting to physical examinations, by supplying all information reasonably required by any insurance carrier, and
by executing all necessary documents reasonably required by any insurance carrier. The Executive shall incur no financial obligation by executing any required document, and shall have no interest in any such policy. 

 

	3.	Termination. 

 The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the
Company or the Executive, as applicable, without any breach of this Agreement only under the following circumstances: 
  

	 	(a)	Circumstances. 

  

	 	(i)	Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death. 

  
 4 

	 	(ii)	Disability. If the Executive has incurred a Disability, as defined in Section 10(e), the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment. 

 

	 	(iii)	Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause, as defined in Section 10(b). 

 

	 	(iv)	Termination without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause. 

  

	 	(v)	Resignation for Good Reason. The Executive may resign his employment for Good Reason, as defined in Section 10(f). 

 

	 	(vi)	Resignation without Good Reason. The Executive may resign his employment without Good Reason. 

  

	 	(vii)	Non-extension of Term by the Company. The Company may give notice of non-extension of the Term to the Executive pursuant to Section 1(b).  

 

	 	(viii)	Non-extension of Term by the Executive. The Executive may give notice of non-extension of the Term to the Company pursuant to Section 1(b) and the last day of the applicable Term shall be the
Executive’s Date of Termination and shall be considered the Executive’s “Retirement” hereunder. 

  

	 	(b)	Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive under this Section 3 (other than termination pursuant to paragraph (a)(i)) shall be
communicated by a written notice to the other Party hereto indicating the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the
Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and specifying a Date of Termination, as defined in Section 10(d), which shall be at least 60 days following the date of such notice in the event of any termination of the
Executive’s employment other than a termination for Cause and at least 45 days following the date of such notice in the event of a termination for Cause (a “Notice of Termination”). The failure by the Company to set forth in
the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of the Company hereunder or preclude the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s rights
hereunder. Similarly, the failure by Executive to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Executive hereunder or preclude the Executive from
asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing Executive’s rights hereunder. 

  
 5 

	 	(c)	Company Obligations upon Termination. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to any of the circumstances listed in Section 3(a), the Executive (or the Executive’s estate)
shall be entitled to receive the sum of: (i) the portion of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination, but not yet paid to the Executive; (ii) any Performance Bonus actually earned by the Executive in
the year prior to the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, but not yet paid to the Executive; (iii) any expenses owed to the Executive under Section 2(h); (iv) any accrued vacation pay owed to the Executive pursuant to
Section 2(g); and (v) any amount accrued and arising from the Executive’s participation in, or benefits accrued under any employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements under Section 2(f) (including, but not
limited to, deferred compensation plans and vested Company matching funds), which amounts shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements (collectively, the “Company
Arrangements”). For the avoidance of doubt, upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive shall not be entitled to any other payments or benefits (including Annual Base Salary) except as specifically
provided for in this Section 3(c) or Section 4. 

  

	4.	Severance Payments. 

  

	 	(a)	Termination for Cause, or Resignation without Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall terminate pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii) for Cause, or the Executive resigns without Good Reason
pursuant to Section 3(a)(vi), the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payment or benefits. 

  

	 	(b)	Termination upon Retirement. If the Executive’s employment shall terminate pursuant to Section 3(a)(viii) due to Executive’s Retirement then, subject to the Executive signing, within
forty-five (45) days following delivery to the Executive, which such delivery occurring within five (5) days from the Date of Termination, a release of claims against the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Release”), and the Executive’s continued compliance with Sections 5 and 6, the Executive shall receive: 

  

	 	(i)	Pro-rated Vesting; and 

  

	 	(ii)	Continued Healthcare Coverage for twenty-four (24) months. 

  
 6 

	 	(c)	Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment shall terminate as a result of Executive’s death pursuant to Section 3(a)(i), or Disability pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) then,
subject to the Executive (or his designated representative) signing, within forty-five (45) days following delivery to the Executive, which such delivery occurring within five (5) days from the Date of Termination, the Release, and not
revoking such Release, within the revocation period specified in the Release, and, in the case of a termination due to Disability, the Executive’s continued compliance with Sections 5 and 6, the Executive shall receive:

  

	 	(i)	A lump sum payment equal to 2.0 times the Executive’s Annual Base Salary as of the Date of Termination, payable within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination; 

 

	 	(ii)	A lump sum payment equal to 2.0 times the Average Annual Bonus, payable within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination; 

 

	 	(iii)	Pro-rated Vesting; and 

  

	 	(iv)	Continued Healthcare Coverage for sixty (60) months following the Date of Termination. 

  

	 	(d)	Termination without Cause, Resignation for Good Reason or upon Non-extension of Term by the Company. If the Executive’s employment shall terminate without Cause pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv),
shall terminate due to the Executive’s resignation for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3(a)(v) or pursuant to Section 3(a)(vii) due to non-extension of the Term by the Company then, subject to the Executive signing,
within forty-five (45) days following delivery to the Executive, which such delivery occurring within five (5) days from the Date of Termination, the Release, and not revoking such Release, within the revocation period specified in
the Release, and the Executive’s continued compliance with Sections 5 and 6, the Executive shall receive: 

  

	 	(i)	A lump sum payment equal to 3.0 times the Annual Base Salary as of the Date of Termination, payable within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination; 

 

	 	(ii)	A lump sum payment equal to 3.0 times the Average Annual Bonus, payable within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination; 

 

	 	(iii)	Full and immediate vesting of all unvested LTI Program awards granted to the Executive by the Company; provided, however, that any performance-based LTI Program awards shall only vest and become payable subject to the
attainment of the performance measures for the applicable performance period as provided under the terms of the applicable award agreement, which performance-based amount will vest and be paid to Executive at the time originally scheduled to be paid
to Executive under the terms of the applicable award agreement; 

  

	 	(iv)	A lump sum payment of the unpaid Retention Bonuses, payable within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination; and 

  

	 	(v)	Continued Healthcare Coverage for thirty-six (36) months following the Date of Termination. 

  
 7 

 If the payment of any amounts under Section 4 is delayed pending the Executive’s
execution of the Release, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date the Release becomes effective (but in no event later than, subject to Section 23, the earlier of (i) 30 days after the Release becomes effective, and
(ii) March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Release becomes effective), the Company will pay the Executive the amounts that would have otherwise been
previously paid to the Executive under Section 4 prior to the execution of such Release, provided that he has not revoked such Release. For the avoidance of doubt, no payments or benefits under Section 4 shall be made until
the Executive has executed the Release and the required revocation period specified in the Release has expired; provided, however, to the extent Pro-rated Vesting relates to restricted stock or restricted stock units that are not subject to
performance-based vesting, then the Pro-rated Vesting with respect to such restricted stock or restricted stock units shall occur without regard to the Release requirement. 
  

	 	(e)	Survival. The expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the rights or obligations of any Party hereto, which shall have accrued prior to such expiration or termination. 

 

	 	(f)	No Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or
benefit provided for in this Section 4 be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, self-employment or by retirement benefits; provided, however, that loans, advances or other
amounts owed by the Executive to the Company may be offset by the Company against cash amounts payable to the Executive under this Section 4 at the time such cash amounts are payable to the Executive under this Section 4.

  

	 	(g)	Return of the Company’s Property. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to require the Executive to vacate his offices prior to or
on the effective date of termination and to cease all activities on the Company’s behalf. Upon the termination of his employment in any manner, as a condition to the Executive’s receipt of any post-termination benefits described in this
Agreement, the Executive shall immediately surrender to the Company all lists, books and records of, or in connection with, the Company’s business, and all other property belonging to the Company, it being distinctly understood that all such
lists, books and records, and other documents are the property of the Company. 

  
 8 

	 	(h)	Parachute Payments. 

  

	 	(i)	It is the objective of this Agreement to maximize Executive’s net after-tax benefit if payments or benefits provided under this Agreement are subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit by the Company or otherwise to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (all such payments and benefits, including the payments and benefits under Section 4 hereof, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total
Payments”), would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the cash severance payments shall first be reduced, and the non-cash severance payments
shall thereafter be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments shall be subject to the Excise Tax, but only if the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal,
state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to the net amount of such
Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments
and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). 

  

	 	(ii)	The Total Payments shall be reduced by the Company in the following order: (i) reduction of any cash severance payments otherwise payable to Executive that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code,
(ii) reduction of any other cash payments or benefits otherwise payable to Executive that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, but excluding any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting or payments with respect to any
equity award with respect to the Parent’s common stock that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, (iii) reduction of any other payments or benefits otherwise payable to Executive on a pro-rata basis or such other manner that
complies with Section 409A of the Code, but excluding any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting and payments with respect to any equity award with respect to the Parent’s common stock that are exempt from Section 409A
of the Code, and (iv) reduction of any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting or payments with respect to any other equity award with respect to the Parent’s common stock that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code.

  
 9 

	 	(iii)	All determinations regarding the application of this Section 4(h) shall be made by an accounting firm with experience in performing calculations regarding the applicability of Section 280G of the Code
and the Excise Tax selected by the Company (“Independent Advisors”). For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments the
receipt or enjoyment of which Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the
Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Independent Advisors, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of
Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of Independent Advisors, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually
rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non-cash
benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. The costs of obtaining such determination
and all related fees and expenses (including related fees and expenses incurred in any later audit) shall be borne by the Company. 

  

	 	(iv)	In the event it is later determined that a greater reduction in the Total Payments should have been made to implement the objective and intent of this Section 4(h), the excess amount shall be returned
immediately by the Executive to the Company, plus interest at a rate equal to 120% of the semi-annual applicable federal rate as in effect at the time of the transaction giving rise to the imposition of the Excise Tax. 

 

	5.	Competition. 

  

	 	(a)	The Executive shall not, at any time during the Term and for twenty four months after the Date of Termination, directly or indirectly engage in, have any equity interest in, interview for a potential employment or
consulting relationship with or manage or operate any person, firm, corporation, partnership or business (whether as director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant or otherwise) that engages in any business
which competes with any portion of the Business (as defined below) of the Company anywhere in the world. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section 5(a) for the Executive to join a division or business
line of a commercial enterprise, other than any Specified Entity, with multiple divisions or business lines if such division or business line is not competitive with the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries, provided that the Executive
performs services solely for such non-competitive division or business line, and performs no functions on behalf of (and has no involvement with or direct or indirect responsibilities with respect to) businesses competitive with the Business of the
Company anywhere in the world. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 4.9% of the outstanding equity interest in any entity, other than any Specified Entity, which is publicly traded, so long as the
Executive has no active participation in the business of such entity. 

  
 10 

	 	(b)	The Executive shall not, at any time during the Term and for eighteen months after the Date of Termination, directly or indirectly, recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any employee, customer, subscriber or supplier
of the Company (i) to terminate its employment or arrangement with the Company, or (ii) to otherwise change its relationship with the Company. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event the terms of this Section 5 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a
geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be
enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. 

  

	 	(d)	As used in this Section 5, (i) the term “Company” shall include the Company, its subsidiaries, and Parent, and (ii) the term “Business” shall include the
manufacturing, development and sale of transmissions and the sale of replacement parts, “will-fit” parts, support equipment and remanufactured transmissions for use in the vehicle aftermarket, as such business may be expanded or altered by
the Company during the Term. 

  

	 	(e)	The Executive agrees, during the Term and following the Date of Termination, to refrain from disparaging the Company and its affiliates, including any of its services, technologies or practices, or any of its directors,
officers, agents, representatives or stockholders, either orally or in writing. The Company agrees, during the Term and following the Date of Termination, to refrain from disparaging the Executive; provided, however, that the Company’s
agreement to this non-disparagement clause shall be limited to official statements issued by the Company as an organization and statements of officers of the Company and members of the Board in their official capacity as representatives of the
Company. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Executive, the Company, the members of the Board or officers of the Company from making truthful statements that are reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation or legal
process. 

  
 11 

	6.	Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information. 

  

	 	(a)	Except in connection with the faithful performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder or pursuant to Section 6(c) and (e), the Executive shall, in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and shall not
directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for his benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the
Company (including, without limitation, business plans, business strategies and methods, acquisition targets, intellectual property in the form of patents, trademarks and copyrights and applications therefor, ideas, inventions, works, discoveries,
improvements, information, documents, formulae, practices, processes, methods, developments, source code, modifications, technology, techniques, data, programs, other know-how or materials, owned, developed or possessed by the Company, whether in
tangible or intangible form, information with respect to the Company’s operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices,
contractual relationships, regulatory status, prospects and compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any
document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such Confidential Information. The Parties hereby stipulate and agree that, as between them, any item of Confidential Information is important, material and
confidential and affects the successful conduct of the businesses of the Company (and any successor or assignee of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any information that has been published in a
form generally available to the public prior to the date the Executive proposes to disclose or use such information, provided, that such publishing of the Confidential Information shall not have resulted from the Executive directly or
indirectly breaching his obligations under this Section 6(a) or any other similar provision by which he is bound, or from any third-party breaching a provision similar to that found under this Section 6(a). For the purposes
of the previous sentence, Confidential Information will not be deemed to have been published or otherwise disclosed merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features comprising
such information have been published in combination. 

  

	 	(b)	Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports,
programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents or property concerning the Company’s customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products, property or processes. 

 

	 	(c)	The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available
to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought and shall assist such counsel at the Company’s expense in resisting or otherwise responding to such process. 

  
 12 

	 	(d)	As used in this Section 6 and Section 7, the term “Company” shall include the Company, its subsidiaries, and Parent. 

 

	 	(e)	Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Executive from (i) disclosing information and documents when required by law, subpoena or court order (subject to the requirements of Section 6(c) above),
(ii) disclosing information and documents to his attorney or tax adviser for the purpose of securing legal or tax advice, (iii) disclosing the Executive’s post-employment restrictions in this Agreement in confidence to any potential
new employer, or (iv) retaining, at any time, his personal correspondence, his personal contacts and documents related to his own personal benefits, entitlements and obligations. 

 

	7.	Inventions. 

 All rights to discoveries, inventions, improvements and innovations
(including all data and records pertaining thereto) related to the business of the Company, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, registrable as a trademark, or reduced to writing, that the Executive may discover, invent or originate during the
Term, either alone or with others and whether or not during working hours or by the use of the facilities of the Company (“Inventions”), shall be the exclusive property of the Company. The Executive shall promptly disclose all
Inventions to the Company, shall execute at the request of the Company any assignments or other documents the Company may deem reasonably necessary to protect or perfect its rights therein, and shall assist the Company, upon reasonable request and
at the Company’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Company’s rights therein. The Executive hereby appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact to execute on his behalf any
assignments or other documents reasonably deemed necessary by the Company to protect or perfect its rights to any Inventions. 
  

	8.	Injunctive Relief. 

 It is recognized and acknowledged by the Executive that a
breach of the covenants contained in Sections 5, 6 and 7 will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach
will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 5, 6 and 7, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be
entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief. 
  

	9.	Assignment and Successors. 

 The Company may assign its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business or the assets of the Company (by merger or otherwise), and may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness of the Company
and its affiliates. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees,
and legatees, as applicable. None of the Executive’s rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred by the Executive, other than the Executive’s rights to payments hereunder, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under applicable law and applicable Company Arrangements, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive compensation hereunder following his
death by giving written notice thereof to the Company.

	 	(i)	the Board’s determination that the Executive failed to substantially perform his duties as an employee of the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive’s Disability) that is reasonably
expected to result in, or has resulted in, material economic damage to the Company or any of its affiliates (provided, that, to the extent such failure can be fully cured, the Company shall have provided the Executive with at least 30 days’
notice of such failure and the Executive has not remedied the failure within the 30-day period); 

  

	 	(ii)	the Board’s determination that the Executive failed in any material respect to carry out or comply with any lawful and reasonable directive of the Board consistent with the terms of this Agreement (provided, that,

and, where applicable, his spouse and dependents, for a period of time following the Date of Termination (the “Payment Period”), effective with the cessation of coverage as a Company employee, under the same or a comparable Company
group medical plan to the group medical plan that Executive was participating in as of the Date of Termination; provided that if the same or comparable Company group medical plan is, at any time during such Payment Period, not available generally to
senior officers of the Company, the Executive shall receive reimbursement for, or direct payment to the carrier for, the premium costs under a group medical plan that is available to such senior officers of the Company; provided, however, if there
is no opportunity to be included in a comparable Company group medical plan for all or a portion of the Payment Period, the Executive may elect coverage under the same provisions as the 2014 Global Expatriate Personnel medical, vision, and dental
plan during the remainder of the Payment Period; provided, further, if at any time the Company determines that its payment of any such premiums on the Executive’s behalf or continued participation in any such plans would result in a violation
of applicable law (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of paying premiums pursuant to this clause, the Company shall pay
the Executive on the last day of each remaining month of the Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for such month, subject to applicable tax withholding, such payments to be made without regard to the

	 	(e)	Disability. “Disability” shall mean, the Executive’s inability to perform, with or without reasonable accommodation, the essential functions of his position hereunder for a total of three months
during any six-month period as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness as determined by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative, with such
agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any refusal by the Executive to submit to a medical examination for the purpose of determining Disability shall be deemed to constitute conclusive evidence of the
Executive’s lack of a Disability. 

  
 15 

	 	(f)	Good Reason. The Executive shall have “Good Reason” to resign his employment within ninety (90) days following (i) a material diminution in the Executive’s authorities, duties,

awards shall only vest and become payable subject to the attainment of the performance measures for the applicable performance period as provided under the terms of the applicable award agreement, which performance-based amount will vest and be paid
to Executive at the time originally scheduled to be paid to Executive under the terms of the applicable award agreement and the amount of vesting, in either case, shall be determined by multiplying the total amount payable pursuant to the LTI
Program award by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of days from the first day of the applicable LTI Program period through the Date of Termination, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of days from the first
day of the applicable LTI Program period through the last day of the applicable LTI Program period.

are not intended to affect construction or interpretation. Any references to paragraphs, subparagraphs, sections or subsections are to those parts of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. Also, unless the context

or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.
Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be
legal, valid and enforceable. 
  

	21.	Withholding. 

 The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable

requirement of withholding shall arise. 
  

	22.	Employee Acknowledgement.

own judgment. 
  

	23.	Section 409A. 

  

	 	(a)	General. The intent of the Parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder
(collectively, “Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. 

 

	 	(b)	Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under
Section 409A and is designated under this Agreement as payable upon Executive’s termination of employment shall be payable only upon Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of
Section 409A (a “Separation from Service”) and, except as provided below, any such compensation or benefits described in Section 4 shall not be paid, or, in the case of installments, shall not commence payment,
until the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s Separation from Service (the “First Payment Date”). Any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately
following Executive’s Separation from Service but for the preceding sentence shall be paid to Executive on the First Payment Date and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement. 

  
 19 

	 	(c)	Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service to be a “specified employee”
for purposes of Section 409A, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A, such portion of
Executive’s benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company or (ii) the date of
Executive’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Section 409A period, all payments deferred pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive (or Executive’s estate or
beneficiaries), and any remaining payments due to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. 

  

	 	(d)	Expense Reimbursements. To the extent that any reimbursements under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, any such reimbursements payable to Executive shall be paid to Executive no later than
December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; provided, that Executive submits Executive’s reimbursement request promptly following the date the expense is incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one
year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, other than medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, and Executive’s right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to
liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

  

	 	(e)	Installments. Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement, including without limitation any continuation salary payments that are payable on Company payroll dates, shall be
treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each such installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment as permitted under Section 409A. Except as otherwise permitted under
Section 409A, no payment hereunder shall be accelerated or deferred unless such acceleration or deferral would not result in additional tax or interest pursuant to Section 409A. 

 

	24.	Indemnification. 

 The Company shall indemnify the Executive to the maximum
extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for acts taken within the scope of his employment. To the extent that the Company obtains coverage under a director and officer indemnification policy, the Executive will be
entitled to such coverage on a basis that is no less favorable than the coverage provided to any other officer or director of the Company.

FIRSTENERGY NUCLEAR GENERATION, LLC (formerly known as FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation Corp.), a limited liability company of the State of Ohio (herein, together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), for value received promises to pay to FirstEnergy Corp., an Ohio corporation (the “Lender”), under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2016, among FirstEnergy Solutions Corp., an Ohio corporation, as Borrower (the “Borrower”), the Company and FirstEnergy Generation, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“FG”), as Guarantors, and the Lender (such Credit Agreement, as amended from time to time, hereinafter the “Credit Agreement”), or permitted assigns, on December 31, 2018, the principal sum of [        ] Dollars or, at any time (if less), such lesser principal amount as is equal to the product of the Nuclear FMB Ratio and the aggregate of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Credits at such time, plus (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Reimbursement Obligations that are outstanding under the Credit Agreement at such time, and to pay interest on said principal amount from the date hereof at such rate or rates per annum on each day as shall cause the amount of interest payable on the Bonds of this series on an Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) to equal the sum of the amount of accrued interest on such Outstanding Credits and outstanding Reimbursement Obligations plus the amount of accrued Surety Credit Support fees pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement payable on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that such interest rate or rates shall not exceed ten percent (10%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual days elapsed). Said interest shall accrue hereon until the principal hereof shall be paid in full, subject to Section 2.04 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 19, 2016 (as amended, supplemented, modified or restated, the “Supplemental Indenture”), executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee (as hereinafter defined), which provides for certain credits towards payment of principal of, and interest on, the Bonds of this series. Interest shall accrue on the Bonds of this series from the date of issuance hereof, and the payment thereof shall be credited as provided in Section 2.04(a) and (c) of the Supplemental Indenture unless and until the Trustee receives the notice contemplated by Section 2.04(b) or (d) of the Supplemental Indenture, whereupon the interest on the Bonds of this series shall become and remain due and payable until such time as the Trustee receives a further written notice (including a telecopy or other form of written telecommunication) from an Authorized Representative of the Lender stating that such payments need not continue. The interest on each Bond of this series so payable on any Interest Payment Date shall, subject to the exceptions provided in Section 3.07 of the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) and to the provisions of Section 2.04 of the Supplemental Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name such Bond is registered on the date of such payment. The principal of, and the interest on, this Bond shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Cleveland, State of Ohio in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
As used herein, “Interest Payment Date” shall mean the applicable date for the payment of accrued interest on Outstanding Credits plus outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and accrued Surety Credit Support Fee under the Credit Agreement and the terms “Advances,” “Commitment,” “Guarantor,” “Note,” “Outstanding Credits,” “Reimbursement Obligation,” and “Surety Credit Support,” and “Surety Credit Support Cap” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
This Bond is one of an issue of Bonds of the Company known as its First Mortgage Bonds, issued and to be issued in one or more series under and secured by an Open-End Mortgage, General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust, dated as of June 1, 2009, duly executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), and indentures supplemental thereto, heretofore or hereafter executed, including the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 19, 2016 (as amended, supplemented, modified or restated, the “Supplemental Indenture”), to which Open-End Mortgage, General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively referred to as the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which such Bonds are, and are to be, issued and secured, and the rights of the owners of such Bonds and the Trustee in respect of such security.  As provided in the Indenture, such Bonds may be in various principal sums, are issuable in series, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as therein provided; and this Bond is one Bond of a series entitled “First Mortgage Bonds, Collateral Series L of 2016 due 2018,” created by the Supplemental Indenture, as provided for in the Indenture, and authorized for issuance in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450,000,000.
Any payment of Advances and Reimbursement Obligations made by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed a payment in respect of this Bond, but such payment shall not reduce the principal amount of this Bond then in effect unless the amount available to be advanced under the Commitment is irrevocably reduced concurrently with such payment pursuant to a Voluntary Commitment Reduction or a Mandatory Commitment Reduction or an irrevocable reduction to the Surety Credit Support Cap. The obligation of the Borrower to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on the bonds of December 2016 Collateral Series shall be fully satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at any time that any such payment shall be due, the Borrower shall have paid fully all the Outstanding Credits and Reimbursement Obligations, and the Commitments shall have been terminated. In the event that all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement have been discharged and the Note shall have been cancelled, this Bond shall be deemed paid in full and the Holder shall surrender this Bond to the Trustee for cancellation.
The Bonds of this series shall be redeemed promptly, without notice, by the Company in whole at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption (the “Redemption Price”) following receipt by the Trustee of written demand for redemption (a “Redemption Demand”) from an Authorized Representative of the Lender under the Credit Agreement stating that (i) all of the Advances or Reimbursement Obligations under the Credit Agreement have become or have been declared to be immediately due and payable as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement and (ii) that the Lender has demanded payment thereof from the Borrower; provided that the Bonds of this series shall be redeemed automatically by the Company, without notice (other than to the Trustee), in whole at the Redemption Price, if the Advances and Reimbursement Obligations under the Credit Agreement have become immediately due and payable as a result of the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under Section 6.01(f) of the Credit Agreement. Such redemption shall be effected on the fifth Business Day (a) following receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand, if such Redemption Demand is required, or (b) the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under Section 6.01(f) of the Credit Agreement. Any payment of the Redemption Price made to the Lender shall constitute a payment by the Borrower in respect of the Outstanding Credits and the Reimbursement Obligations under the Credit Agreement. A Redemption Demand shall be rescinded and shall be null and void for all purposes of the Indenture upon receipt by the Trustee, no later than the Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, of a written notice from the Lender withdrawing said Redemption Demand.
For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with Section 2.19 of the Credit Agreement, the Holder acknowledges that the obligations of the Borrower, each Guarantor party thereto, including the Company and FG, under the Credit Agreement and any Loan Document defined therein shall not constitute “FES Indebtedness” or “Genco Indebtedness” for purposes of Section 2 of each of the 2007 Guaranties (defined herein). Accordingly, the Holder acknowledges that the obligations of the Company under this Bond shall not constitute “FES Indebtedness” or “Genco Indebtedness” as defined in Section 2 of each of the 2007 Guaranties, and shall not be entitled to the benefits of any of the 2007 Guaranties.  The acknowledgments, representations and agreements in this paragraph are those of the Holder alone and not the Trustee.  The Trustee provides no acknowledgment, representation or agreement with respect to the treatment of the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under the Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents.
The term “2007 Guaranties” shall mean, collectively (i) the Guaranty, dated as of March 26, 2007, of the Borrower with respect to certain indebtedness of Company, (ii) the Guaranty, dated as of March 26, 2007, of the Borrower with respect to certain indebtedness of FG (as defined below), (iii) the Guaranty, dated as of March 26, 2007, of the Company with respect to certain indebtedness of the Borrower and (iv) the Guaranty, dated as of March 26, 2007, of FG with respect to certain indebtedness of the Borrower.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, or interest, if any, on this Bond, or any part hereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any Constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, stockholders, officers and directors being released by the registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.
This Bond is nontransferable except to effect transfer (i) to any permitted successor or assignee of the Lender under the Credit Agreement, (ii) in connection with the exercise of the rights and remedies of the holder hereof consequent upon an “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit Agreement, or (iii) as may be necessary to comply with a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding of the Company.  But this Bond is exchangeable by the registered holder hereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, any such permitted transfer or exchange to be made in the manner and upon the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, upon the surrender and cancellation of this Bond and the payment of any applicable taxes and fees required by law, and upon any such transfer or exchange a new registered Bond or Bonds of the same series and tenor, will be issued to the authorized transferee, or the registered holder, as the case may be. The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.
This Bond shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee, or a successor Trustee or Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the Indenture.
