EX-10.1

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT 

Robert Platt (“Employee”) and Graham Corporation (“Company”) make the following agreement for the
orderly separation of Employee’s employment with the Company and for the complete resolution of any and all disagreements, disputes or claims arising out of Employee’s employment and/or the separation of that employment. 

1. Resignation. Effective the end of business January 9, 2013 (“Separation Date”), Employee hereby resigns from his
employment with the Company and from any other positions (e.g., without limitation, as an officer or director), if any, he holds with the Company and/or its affiliates. The Employment Agreement between the parties, dated October 10, 2011 (the
“Employment Agreement”), is also hereby terminated, effective January 9, 2013. Except as specifically provided below, all of Employee’s compensation and employment-related benefits will end on January 9, 2013. Employee will
receive additional information regarding his rights, if any, to insurance continuation (at his expense) and his retirement benefits, if any. To the extent that Employee has such rights, nothing in this Agreement will impair them. Employee agrees
that he has received all wages, benefits and all other amounts of any kind owing to him on account of his employment up to and including the Separation Date, less applicable deductions and withholdings, and that such amounts have been received and
will be retained by him regardless of whether he signs or revokes this Agreement. 
 2. Separation Benefits. Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Employee shall receive from the Company the following, which includes sums of money and benefits to which Employee is not otherwise entitled: 

 

	 	a.	Regardless of whether Employee signs this Agreement, he shall receive a check for his base salary for the period January 1, 2013 through the Separation Date and a
check in an amount equivalent to three (3) weeks at his base salary as of his Separation Date, as payment for accrued but unused vacation time available to Employee on the Separation Date. These payments will be made within ten
(10) business days of the Separation Date. Employee will also receive reimbursement of expenses incurred up through the Separation Date that were as a result of conducting business activities on behalf of the Company, the reimbursement of which
will be made per the Company’s expense reimbursement policy. 

  

	 	b.	If Employee signs and does not revoke this Agreement, he shall receive a separation benefit of six (6) months salary continuation at the highest salary rate in
effect for the Employee during the one-year period prior to the Separation Date ($175,000.00 per annum), less applicable deductions and withholdings. Payment of this separation benefit shall be made on a monthly basis in accordance with the
Company’s regular payroll practices and such payments shall commence with the first payroll period following the “Effective Date” of this Agreement, as defined in Section 14 below. However, the entire separation benefit shall be
paid on or before December 31, 2013. 

	 	c.	If Employee signs and does not revoke this Agreement, he shall also receive an additional separation benefit of $42,750.00, which is equivalent to Employee’s
target bonus under the Company’s Fiscal Year 2013 incentive compensation plan, for which Employee is not otherwise eligible by reason of his separation from service. Payment of this separation benefit shall be made on a monthly basis in six
(6) equal monthly installments of $7,125.00 in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and such payments shall commence with the first payroll period following the “Effective Date” of this Agreement, as defined in
Section 14 below. 

  

	 	d.	For the purposes of this Agreement, “applicable deductions and withholdings” shall include, but shall not be limited to, any federal, state and/or local taxes
required to be withheld from the amounts paid to Employee pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise due from the Company, and any other amounts that the Company may be legally required to deduct or that Employee has voluntarily elected to have
deducted from his earnings. 

  

	 	e.	Employee agrees that he is not entitled to any other compensation (including, but not limited to, salary or bonuses) or benefits of any kind or description from the
Company, or from or under any benefit plan sponsored by the Company, other than as described above and those in which he may already be vested. 

  

	 	f.	The benefits and compensation payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and the treasury regulations promulgated and other official guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted consistent with that intent. In
particular, the separation benefits are intended to be exempt from Section 409A.

  

	 	g.	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of the Employee’s separation from service with the Company he is a “specified
employee” as defined in Section 409A, and any payment payable under this Agreement as a result of such separation from service is required to be delayed by six months pursuant to Section 409A, then the Company will make such payment
on the date that is six months following Employee’s separation from service with the Company. The amount of such payment will equal the sum of the payments that would have been paid to Employee during the six-month period immediately following
his separation from service had the payment commenced as of such date. Each payment under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of Section 409A. 

 

	 	h.	The Company makes no representations to Employee regarding the taxability and/or tax implications of this Agreement. Employee is solely responsible for any tax
consequences associated with the payments made pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any additional tax or penalty interest imposed by Section 409A. Employee agrees to defend, indemnify, reimburse and hold the Company
harmless for any and all taxes, contributions, withholdings, fees, assessments, interest, costs, penalties and other charges that may be imposed on the Company by the Internal Revenue Service, the New York State Tax Department or any other federal,
state or local taxing authority by reason of the payments above, the absence of withholdings and deductions made from certain payments above and/or Employee’s non-payment or late payment of taxes due, and Employee alone assumes all liability
for all such amounts. 

 3. Return of Property. Employee agrees to immediately return to Company all property
of the Company that is in his possession, including but not limited to any information (in whatever form) about the Company’s practices, procedures, finances, trade secrets, customer lists, potential customer lists, or product marketing. Such
materials include but are not limited to all working papers, computer equipment, cell phones, credit cards, keys, passwords, documents, photographs, notebooks, strategic plans, computer programs, and all other confidential or proprietary materials
(as well as all copies) relating in any way to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. 
 4.
Complete Waiver/Release. Employee agrees that by signing this Agreement, he will give up his right to bring any legal claim against the Company, its agents, officers, shareholders, directors, employees, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates,
employee benefit plans, successors and assigns (collectively referred to as the “Released Persons”) of any nature. The claims that Employee is giving up include, but are not limited to, claims related in any way, directly or indirectly, to
his employment relationship with the Company, including his separation from employment. This Section 4 is intended to be interpreted in the broadest possible manner to include all actual or potential legal claims that Employee may have against
the Released Persons, except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement. 
 Specifically, Employee agrees to fully and
forever release all of his legal rights and claims against the Released Persons, whether or not presently known to him and including future legal rights and claims if based in whole or in part on acts or omissions occurring before he executes this
Agreement. Employee agrees that the legal rights and claims that he is giving up include, but are not limited to, his rights, if any, under all state and federal statutes that protect him from discrimination in employment, such as the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended (ADEA), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), the Equal Pay Act (EPA),
the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), the New York Human Rights Law, and any similar State or local statute, regulation or order. Employee also agrees that the legal rights and claims that he is giving up include his rights,
if any, for unpaid wages or benefits under State and Federal statutes such as the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act (“ERISA”), the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification
Act (WARN), the New York State Labor Law (except minimum wage and unemployment claims), and any similar State or local statute, regulation or order. 
 Employee understands and agrees that the release provided in this Agreement also includes any and all claims for defamation; wrongful discharge; breach of contract (including employment contracts or
collective bargaining agreements); breach of implied contract; breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; tortious interference with business and/or contractual relationship (or prospective relationship); retaliatory discharge;
whistleblower’s claims; estoppel of any kind; common-law intentional torts; intentional infliction of mental or emotional distress; discrimination, harassment and/or retaliation or wrongful action that has been or could have been alleged under
the common law, any civil rights or equal opportunity employment law, or any other statute, regulation, ordinance or rule; and any claims for attorneys’ fees that exist or may exist as of the date that Employee signs this Agreement. 

Employee also agrees that he waives and releases claims against the Released Persons relating to any oral or written agreement and/or
contract of employment with the Released Persons, or any of them, express or implied, purporting to establish terms and conditions of employment or addressing termination of employment. If any contract or agreement of employment exists concerning
the employment of Employee by the Company or the terms and conditions of such employment or the termination of such employment, whether oral or written, express or implied, that contract or agreement is hereby terminated and is null and void.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants and agreements in Sections 10 through 20 of the Employment Agreement survive termination of that Employment Agreement and execution of this Agreement. The covenants and agreements in Sections 10 through
20 of the Employment Agreement shall continue and shall not expire except as expressly set forth the in Employment Agreement, including but not limited to the non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality covenants contained in
Section 10 of the Employment Agreement. 

 This Waiver and Release includes, but is not limited to, a waiver, discharge and release by
Employee of the Released Persons from any damages or relief of whatever nature or description, including, but not limited to, compensatory and punitive damages and equitable forms of relief, as well as any claim for attorney’s fees, expert
witness fees, and/or costs and disbursements, which may arise from any of the claims waived, discharged or released. 
 The
claims that Employee is giving up and releasing do not include his vested rights, if any, under any qualified retirement plan in which he participates, and his COBRA, unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation rights, if any. Nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed to constitute a waiver of (i) any claims Employee may have against the Released Persons that arise from acts or omissions that occur after the date of Employee’s execution of this agreement,
(ii) Employee’s right to file an administrative charge with any governmental agency alleging employment discrimination, (iii) Employee’s right to participate in any administrative or court investigation, hearing or proceeding, or
(iv) any claim Employee cannot waive as a matter of law. Employee agrees, however, to waive and release any right to receive any individual remedy or to recover any individual monetary or non-monetary damages as a result of any administrative
charge or court proceeding based upon alleged events occurring before the date of his execution of this agreement. In addition, the release of all claims set forth in this Section 4 does not affect Employee’s rights as expressly created by
this Agreement, and does not limit his ability to enforce and/or to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement in an administrative agency and/or court of competent jurisdiction. 

5. No Admission of Liability. Employee agrees that neither payment by the Company of the amounts set forth in Section 2, nor
any other term or condition of the Agreement, shall be deemed, construed, or treated in any respect as an admission of any fault, wrongdoing, or liability on the part of the Company. 

6. Remedies. Employee agrees that if he violates any of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy that the
Company may have in law or in equity, Employee shall be liable to the Company for any and all sums of money paid to Employee and the costs incurred by the Company in compliance with Section 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement. The Company’s
enforcement of its rights under this Section will not affect the validity and enforceability of the release, discharge and waiver contained in this Agreement. 
 7. Confidentiality. Employee agrees to keep the terms and the existence of this Agreement completely confidential and shall not communicate or disclose any information concerning the existence or
terms of this Agreement or provide a copy of this Agreement to anyone, except the United States Internal Revenue Service, the New York Department of Revenue, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the New York State Division of
Human Rights, the New York Department of Labor, or State or County Unemployment Authorities. Employee may disclose the terms of this Agreement to his lawful spouse, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other professional advisor to whom he
must make the disclosure in order for them to render professional services to him. 
 Employee and the Company also agree that
neither shall disclose publicly or privately the circumstances surrounding the cessation of Employee’s employment except as may otherwise be required by law, statute, regulation, discovery process or order of any Court or other tribunal. Nor
shall either party publicly or privately disparage the other or their predecessors, successors, assigns, affiliates, related entities, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, attorneys, employees or former employees. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee understands that the Company has certain reporting obligations pursuant to SEC rules and
regulations and nothing in this Agreement is intended to preclude the Company from fully complying with those obligations. 

 8. Future Employment. Employee agrees that neither he, nor anyone acting on his
behalf, will apply for or seek employment with the Company in the future. Employee agrees that in the event he applies for or seeks employment with the Company in the future, the Company is under no obligation to consider that application and may
deny said application based on this Agreement. 
 9. Interim Obligations. Employee understands and agrees that the
obligations contained in Section 3, 7 and 8 above are material provisions of this Agreement, for which good and sufficient consideration is provided. However, Employee also acknowledges and agrees that those provisions could be undermined
and/or rendered ineffective if he takes actions that would be violations of Section 7 of this Agreement after the Effective Date of this Agreement, between the date he was presented with a draft of this Agreement (January 9, 2013) and the
Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Interim Period”). Accordingly, as a material inducement for the Company to enter this Agreement, Employee represents and warrants that, during the Interim Period, he did not and will not take any
actions, directly or indirectly, that would be in violation of this Agreement if they occurred after the Effective Date of this Agreement. This includes, but is not limited to, failing to return and/or disclosing confidential and/or proprietary
confidential information and/or disclosing the terms of this Agreement or the amounts or benefits to be paid under this Agreement (other than as allowed in Section 7). 
 10. Attorney Consultation. Employee represents and warrants that the Company hereby encourages and advises Employee, prior to signing this Agreement, to consult with an attorney of his choosing
concerning all of the terms of this Agreement and the facts and circumstances of Employee’s separation from employment with the Company. By execution of this Agreement, Employee represents and warrants that he has had the opportunity to consult
with an attorney of his choosing concerning all of the terms of this Agreement. 
 11. Review Period. Employee represents
and warrants that the Company has given Employee a reasonable period of time, up to twenty-one (21) days, in which to consider the terms of this Agreement, and for the purpose of consulting with an attorney if he so chooses. A copy of this
Agreement was first given to Employee on January 9, 2013. If this Agreement has been executed by Employee prior to the end of the twenty-one (21) day period, Employee represents that he has freely and willingly elected to do so. The
parties agree that negotiations about and/or revisions to this Agreement after January 9, 2013, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the 21-day period. The Company reserves the right to withdraw its offer of this Agreement at any time
after the expiration of the 21-day review period or if Employee takes actions during the Interim Period that would be in violation of Sections 3, 7 and/or 8 of this Agreement and/or Sections 10 through 20 of the Employment Agreement if they were
taken after the Effective Date of this Agreement. 
 12. Voluntary Agreement. Employee represents and warrants that he
has carefully read each and every provision of this Agreement and that he fully understands all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Employee represents and warrants that he enters into this Agreement voluntarily, of his own free will,
without any pressure or coercion from any person or entity, including, but not limited to, the Company or any of its representatives. 
 13. No Waiver of Right to Enforce. Any failure of the parties at any time or times to enforce their respective rights under any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of
such provision or the right of Employee and/or Company to enforce such provision. 

 14. Revocation Period; Effective Date. After Employee has signed this Agreement, he
will have an additional 7 calendar days in which to revoke his acceptance. If he does not revoke his acceptance, then the 8th day after the date of his signature will be the “Effective Date” of this Agreement, and he may not thereafter
revoke it. To revoke this Agreement, Employee agrees to send written notice to: James R. Lines, President and Chief Executive Officer, 20 Florence Avenue, Batavia, New York 14020. If sent by mail, the revocation must be postmarked within the seven
(7) calendar day period and sent via certified mail, return receipt requested. Employee acknowledges and agrees that if he exercises his right to revoke this Agreement, his resignation of employment will remain valid and effective on the
Separation Date and he will not be entitled to the separation benefits in Sections 2(b) and 2(c). 
 15. Governing Law;
Severability. Employee and the Company agree that this Agreement shall be construed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions, except to the extent that the law of the
United States governs any matter set forth herein, in which case such Federal law shall govern. The parties agree that, whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions, which shall be fully severable and given full force and effect. However, in the event the Complete Waiver and Release in Section 4 or any portion thereof is determined by any court, arbitrator or agency of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, then Company shall have the option to rescind this entire Agreement and immediately recover from Employee any payments made pursuant to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) above. 

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple originals, each of which shall be considered as an original
instrument, but all of which together shall constitute one Agreement, and shall bind Employee, his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, and legal representatives, and the Company, its successors, assigns, and legal representatives.
A photocopy or facsimile of the original document signed by all parties will have the same force and effect as the original. 

17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties and supersedes all prior
oral and written agreements or understandings between the parties, except as otherwise specified herein. The terms of this Agreement may not be modified except by a writing signed by all parties.

	§ 4.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

 4.1.
General. ICE shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment at any time, and Executive shall have the right to resign at any time. However, any notice to the effect that there will be no extension of this Employment Agreement
pursuant to § 1.2 shall not constitute a termination of Executive’s employment or a resignation by Executive under § 4 of this Employment Agreement. 
 4.2. Termination By ICE Other Than For Cause Or Disability Or By Executive For Good Reason. 
 (a) Before a Change in Control. If ICE terminates Executive’s employment other than for Cause (as defined in § 4.2(c)) or a Disability (as defined in § 4.2(d)) before the Effective
Date (as defined in § 4.2(e)(1)) of a Change in Control (as defined in § 4.2(e)(2)) or Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined in § 4.2(f)) before such an Effective Date, ICE (in lieu of any severance pay under any severance pay
plans, programs or policies) shall (subject to applicable withholdings and subject to § 6.10): 
 (1)
pay Executive a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount of Executive’s base salary, as in effect on the date Executive’s employment terminates, that Executive would have received as if Executive had remained employed for the remainder of
the Term in accordance with § 3.1, 
 (2) pay Executive a lump sum cash payment equal to three
(3) times the greater of (i) the average of the last three annual bonuses received by Executive from ICE or any of its affiliates prior to the date Executive’s employment terminates and (ii) the last annual bonus received by
Executive from ICE or any of its affiliates prior to the date Executive’s employment terminates, 
 (3) with
respect to options to purchase ICE common stock or other equity or equity based grants made to Executive (A) for time-vested options or equity based grants (including performance based grants for which actual performance achievement has already
been certified as of the date of employment termination), accelerate Executive’s right to exercise 100% of such options and vest in 100%of such equity grants so that Executive has the right to exercise 100% of such options and receive 100% of
such equity grants, (B) for performance based grants for which performance has not been certified as of the date of employment termination, determine and certify performance based on actual performance achieved after completion of the
performance period in accordance with the terms of such grants, and vest all tranches of such 

  
 - 4 -

 
performance grants on the date of such performance certification, and (C) treat Executive as if Executive had remained employed by ICE until the end of the Term so that the time period over
which Executive has the right to exercise such options shall be the same as if there had been no termination of Executive’s employment until the end of the Term, and 

(4)(A) continue to make available coverage under the plans, programs and policies described in § 3.4 which provide
health care, life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment benefits under which Executive was covered immediately before Executive’s employment terminated as if Executive had remained employed by ICE for the Welfare Benefit Continuation
Period (as defined in § 4.2(a)(4)(B)). Health care benefits under this §4.2(a)(4) shall be provided in the form of continued group health coverage under COBRA for the first 18 months of the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period, and
thereafter for the remainder of the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period, at ICE’s sole discretion, either (i) under a ICE health benefit plan, (ii) as reimbursement (on an after tax basis) of the premium expense Executive incurs to
purchase comparable health to the extent that such premium cost exceeds the premium then charged by ICE for the health care continuation coverage or (iii) as payment (on an after tax basis) of an allowance, for the remainder of the Welfare
Benefit Continuation Period, in lieu of reimbursing Executive for purchasing comparable coverage for such period if it is determined that purchasing comparable coverage would be impractical or undesirable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and becomes eligible to receive health care benefits from such employer, the health care benefits described herein shall be secondary to such benefits during the period of Executive’s
eligibility, but only to the extent that ICE reimburses Executive for any increased cost and provides any additional benefits necessary to give Executive the benefits provided hereunder, where 

(B) the term “Welfare Benefit Continuation Period” means the shorter of (i) the two (2) year period
which starts on the date Executive’s employment terminates under this Employment Agreement or (ii) the period which starts on the date Executive’s employment terminates under this Employment Agreement and ends on the last day of the
Term. 
 (b) After a Change of Control. If Executive resigns for Good Reason after the Effective Date of a
Change in Control or Executive’s employment is terminated (other than for Cause or a Disability) after the Effective Date of a Change of Control, ICE (in lieu of any severance pay under any severance pay plans, programs or policies) shall
(subject to applicable withholdings and § 6.10): 
 (1) pay Executive a lump sum cash payment equal to
three (3) times Executive’s base salary as in effect on the date Executive’s employment terminates, 

  
 - 5 -

 (2) pay Executive a lump sum cash payment equal to three (3) times the
greater of (i) the average of the last three annual bonuses paid to Executive by ICE or any of its affiliates prior to the date Executive’s employment terminates, (ii) the last annual bonus paid to Executive by ICE or its affiliates
prior to the Effective Date of a Change of Control and (iii) the last annual bonus received by Executive from ICE or any of its affiliates prior to the date Executive’s employment terminates, 

(3) with respect to options to purchase ICE common stock or other equity or equity based grants made to Executive
(A) for time-vested options or equity based grants (including performance based grants for which actual performance achievement has already been certified as of the date of employment termination), accelerate Executive’s right to exercise
100% of such options and vest in 100% of such equity grants so that Executive has the right to exercise 100% of such options and receive 100% of such equity grants, (B) for performance based grants for which performance has not been certified
as of the date of employment termination, determine and certify performance based on actual performance achieved after completion of the performance period in accordance with the terms of such grants, and vest all tranches of such performance grants
on the date of such performance certification, and (C) treat Executive as if Executive had remained employed by ICE until the end of the three (3) year period which starts on the date Executive’s employment terminates so that the time
period over which Executive has the right to exercise such options shall be the same as if there had been no termination of Executive’s employment until the end of such three (3) year period, 

(4) continue to make available coverage under the plans, programs and policies described in § 3.4 which provide
health care, life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment benefits under which Executive was covered immediately before Executive’s employment terminated as if Executive had remained employed by ICE until the end of the Welfare Benefit
Continuation Period (as defined in § 4.2(a)(4)(B)) under the terms set forth in § 4.2(a)(4)(A); provided, however 
 (5) Executive shall have a right (in lieu of any payments and benefits called for under § 4.2(a)) to all the payments and benefits called for under this § 4.2(b) if Executive resigns for Good
Reason or ICE terminates Executive’s employment (other than for Cause or a Disability) during the one hundred eighty (180) day period ending on the Effective Date of a Change of Control. In the event a payment is required under this
subsection, ICE shall pay the Executive a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of a Change of Control and ICE can deduct the amounts previously paid to Executive under § 4.2(a).

regulations to serve as an exchange or other form of a marketplace for trading the products defined in § 5.7 or (b) which violates the rules of any exchange or market on which ICE effects trades (or at such time is actively contemplating
effecting trades) and which is reasonably likely to lead to a denial of ICE’s right or qualification to effect trades on such exchange or market; 
 (3) there is any act or omission by Executive involving malfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities under § 2 or the exercise of
Executive’s powers under § 2 to the material detriment of ICE; or

of the provisions of § 5 or (B) Executive violates any provision of any code of conduct adopted by ICE which applies to Executive and any other ICE employees if the consequence to such violation for any employee subject to such code of
conduct ordinarily would be a termination of his or her employment by ICE; provided, however, 
 (5) no such act
or omission or event shall be treated as “Cause” under this Employment Agreement unless (a) Executive has been provided a detailed, written statement of the basis for ICE’s belief such act or omission or event constitutes
“Cause” and an opportunity to meet with ICE’s Board of Directors (together with Executive’s counsel if Executive chooses to have Executive’s counsel present at such meeting) after Executive has had a reasonable period in
which to review such statement and, if the act or omission or event is one which can be cured by Executive, Executive has had at least a thirty (30) day period to take corrective action and (b) ICE’s Board of Directors after such
meeting (if Executive exercises Executive’s right to have a meeting) and after the end of such thirty (30) day correction period (if applicable) determines reasonably and in good faith and by the affirmative vote of at least a majority or,

similar form of corporate transaction involving ICE unless (1) the persons who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the members of ICE’s Board of Directors immediately before the
consummation of such transaction hold more than 60% of the voting power of the securities eligible to vote for the members of the board of directors of the successor or survivor corporation in such transaction immediately following the consummation
of such transaction and (2) the number of the securities of such successor or survivor corporation representing the voting power described in § 4.2(e)(2)(C)(1) held by the persons described in § 4.2(e)(2)(C)(1) immediately following
the consummation of such transaction is beneficially owned by each such person in substantially the same proportion that each such person had beneficially owned the outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the members of
ICE’s Board of Directors immediately before the consummation of such transaction, provided (3) the percentage described in § 4.2(e)(2)(C)(1) of the securities of the successor or survivor corporation and the number described in §
4.2(e)(2)(C)(2) of the securities of the successor or survivor corporation shall be determined exclusively by reference to the securities of the successor or survivor corporation which result from the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock
of ICE by the persons described in § 4.2(e)(2)(C)(1) immediately before the consummation of such transaction (any transaction which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (1), (2) and (3) above shall be deemed to be a

 (7) there is a material breach of this Employment Agreement by ICE or its successor; provided, however, 
 (8) no such act or omission shall be treated as “Good Reason” under this Employment Agreement unless 
 (A)(i) Executive delivers to the Chairman of ICE’s Board of Directors a detailed, written statement of the basis for Executive’s belief that such act or omission constitutes Good Reason,

 (iv)
Executive actually submits Executive’s written resignation to the Chairman of ICE’s Board of Directors during the sixty (60) day period which begins immediately after the end of such thirty (30) day period if Executive reasonably
and in good faith determines that Good Reason continues to exist after the end of such thirty (30) day period; or 
 (B) ICE states in writing to Executive that Executive has the right to treat any such act or omission as Good Reason under this Employment Agreement and Executive resigns during the sixty (60) day
period which starts on the date such statement is actually delivered to Executive; and

 (9) If Executive consents in writing to any reduction described in §
4.2(f)(1) or § 4.2(f)(2), to any transfer described in § 4.2(f)(3) or to any change or failure described in § 4.2(f)(4) in lieu of exercising Executive’s right to resign for Good Reason and delivers such consent to the Chairman
of ICE’s Board of Directors, the date such consent is so delivered thereafter shall be treated under this definition as the Effective Date of a Change in Control for purposes of determining whether Executive subsequently has Good Reason under
this Employment Agreement to resign as a result of any such subsequent reduction, transfer or change or failure. 
 4.3.
Termination By ICE For Cause or By Executive Other Than For Good Reason. If ICE terminates Executive’s employment for Cause or Executive resigns other than for Good Reason, ICE’s only obligation to Executive under this Employment

dies, Executive’s estate for any expenses which Executive had already incurred and which would have otherwise been reimbursed but for such termination of employment. 
 4.5. Benefits at Termination of Employment. Executive upon Executive’s termination of employment shall have the right to receive any benefits payable under ICE’s employee benefit plans,
programs and policies which Executive otherwise has a nonforfeitable right to receive under the terms of such plans, programs and policies independent of Executive’s rights under this Employment Agreement; however, if a payment is made to
Executive under § 4.2(a) or § 4.2(b), such payment shall be in lieu of any severance pay under any severance pay plan, program or policy.

immediately preceding the beginning of the Restricted Period. 
 (b) Employees. Executive, while employed

5.6. Intellectual Property Rights. Executive hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns to ICE all of Executive’s right,
title and interest in any ideas, inventions, trademarks, copyrights, developments and improvements that Executive conceives, alone or with others, during the Term, whether or not conceived during working hours, which are within the scope of
ICE’s business operations or relate to any of ICE’s work, projects or research activities, all of which shall be referred to as “Intellectual Property”, and Executive shall assist ICE, at ICE’s expense, in obtaining patents,
copyright and trademark registrations for Intellectual Property, execute and deliver all documents and do any and all things necessary and proper on Executive’s part to obtain such patents and copyright and trademark registrations and execute
specific assignments and other documents for such Intellectual Property as may be considered necessary or appropriate by ICE at any time during Executive’s employment. This § 5.6 shall not apply to any invention that Executive develops

contracts, options contracts, and other derivative instruments, providing risk management tools and clearing services, providing brokerage services and providing market data relating to these services and operations (such business, together with any
other products or services that may in the future during the pendency of Employee’s employment be offered or listed by ICE or any entity that is then an affiliate of ICE, herein being collectively referred to as the “Business”),
(b) ICE is one of a limited number of entities that have developed such a Business, (c) while the Business can be and is available to any person or entity who or which has access to the internet and desires to trade, or to monitor the
trading of, commodities, the Business is primarily conducted in, and ICE has offices in, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Singapore, (d) Executive is, and is expected to continue to be during the Term, intimately involved in
the Business wherever it operates, and Executive will have access to certain confidential, proprietary information of ICE, (e) this § 5.7 is intended to provide fair and reasonable protection to ICE in light of the unique circumstances of
the Business and (f) ICE would not have entered into this Employment Agreement but for the covenants and agreements set forth in this § 5.7. Executive therefore agrees that Executive shall not during the Restricted Period, or, if less, for
the one (1) year period which starts on the date Executive’s employment terminates under this Employment Agreement, assume or perform, directly or indirectly, any managerial or supervisory responsibilities and duties that are substantially
similar to those Executive performs for ICE on the date Executive 

  
 - 14 -

 
executes this Employment Agreement, or act as a management consultant or strategic consultant, for or on behalf of any other corporation, partnership, venture, or other business entity that
engages in the Business in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or Singapore; provided, however, Executive may own up to five percent (5%) of the stock of a publicly traded company that engages in such competitive business so long as

protect ICE’s legitimate business interests. ICE in addition shall have the right to take such other action as ICE deems necessary or appropriate to compel compliance with the provisions of this § 5. 

5.9. Remedy for Breach. Executive agrees that the remedies at law for ICE for any actual or threatened breach by Executive of the
covenants in this § 5 would be inadequate and that ICE shall be entitled to specific performance of the covenants in this § 5, including entry of an ex parte, temporary restraining order in state or federal court, preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief against activities in violation of this § 5, or both, or other appropriate judicial remedy, writ or order, without requirement of posting a bond or other security, in addition to any damages and legal expenses which ICE may be
legally entitled to recover. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants in this § 5 shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision of this or any other agreement between ICE and Executive, and that the existence
of any claim or cause of action by Executive against ICE, whether predicated upon this Employment Agreement or any other agreement, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by ICE of such covenants.

permitted by applicable law, as if such provision had been originally incorporated in this Employment Agreement as so modified or restricted, or as if such provision had not been originally incorporated in this Employment Agreement, as the case may
be.

Executive’s breach of the provisions of § 5 of this Employment Agreement. However, any other controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Employment Agreement or any alleged breach of this Employment Agreement, or any other

Executive’s estate shall execute and not revoke, within forty-eight (48) days following Executive’s termination of employment, a release in the form of the release attached to this Employment Agreement as Exhibit A, or in such other
form as is acceptable to ICE and Executive, and ICE shall provide such payments or benefits, if applicable, promptly after Executive (or Executive’s estate) delivers such release to ICE, but no later than sixty (60) days after the date of

 6.13 Section 409A of the Code. To the extent Executive would otherwise be
entitled to any payment under this Employment Agreement or any plan or arrangement of ICE or its affiliates, that constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(“Section 409A”) and that if paid during the six months beginning on the date of termination of Executive’s employment would be subject to the Section 409A additional tax because Executive is a “specified
employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined by ICE), the payment will be paid to Executive on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of Executive’s date of termination, a change in ownership or effective control
of ICE (within the meaning of Section 409A) or Executive’s death. Similarly, to the extent Executive would otherwise be entitled to any benefit (other than a payment) during the six months beginning on termination of Executive’s
employment that would be subject to the Section 409A additional tax, the benefit will be delayed and will begin being provided on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of Executive’s date of termination, a change in ownership or
effective control of ICE (within the meaning of Section 409A) or Executive’s death. In addition, any payment or benefit due upon a termination of Executive’s employment that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the
meaning of Section 409A shall be paid or provided to Executive only upon a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h). To the extent applicable, each severance payment made under this Employment
Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate payment, amounts payable under Section 4 of this Employment Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the
exceptions in Treas. Reg. Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and (b)(9) (“separation pay plans,” including the exception under subparagraph (iii)) and other applicable provisions of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1
through 1.409A-6. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Employment Agreement or elsewhere, any payment or benefit under this
Employment Agreement or otherwise that is exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) shall be paid or provided to Executive only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or the
