 Exhibit 10.1 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

BRIAN HARRIS 
 EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated December 3, 2013 and effective as of October 14, 2013, by and between Summit Materials Holdings L.P. (the “Company”) and Brian J. Harris (“Executive”). 

The Company desires to employ Executive and to enter into an agreement embodying the terms of such employment; 

Executive desires to accept such employment and enter into such an agreement; 

In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: 

1. Term of Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, Executive shall be employed by the Company
hereunder for a period commencing on October 14, 2013 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Employment Term”) on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) commencing with the third anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each anniversary thereafter (each an “Extension Date”), the Employment Term shall be
automatically extended for an additional one-year period, unless the Company or Executive provides the other party hereto 60 days prior written notice before the next Extension Date that the Employment Term shall not be so extended and (b) if
the Company is dissolved pursuant to the terms of the LP Agreement (a “Dissolution”), then the Employment Term shall automatically and immediately be terminated and, except as expressly provided in Section 6(d), no Person shall
have any obligation hereunder except to the extent such obligation arose prior to, or directly as a result of, such termination. 
 2.
Position. 
 a. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In such position,
Executive shall have such duties and authority as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “Board”). If requested by the General Partner of the Company (the “General
Partner”), Executive shall also serve as a member of the board of directors (and any committees thereof) of any of the Company’s affiliates, without additional compensation. 

b. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business time and best efforts to the performance of
Executive’s duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere with the rendition of such services either directly or indirectly, without the
prior written consent of the Board; provided that nothing herein shall preclude Executive, subject to the prior approval of the Board, from accepting appointment to or continuing to serve on any board of directors or trustees of any business
corporation or any charitable organization; provided in each case, and in the aggregate, that such activities do not conflict or interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or conflict with Sections 7 and 8. 

 3. Compensation. 

a. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary at the annual rate of $475,000 per annum, payable in regular
installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payment practices. The rate of Executive’s base salary will be reviewed annually by the Board, and may be increased (but not decreased). Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect
from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary.” 
 b. With respect to each full or partial fiscal year
during the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (an “Annual Bonus”), with the amount of the Annual Bonus targeted at seventy-five percent (75%) of Executive’s Base Salary (the
“Target Annual Bonus”) based upon the achievement of performance targets agreed to by the Board and Executive within the first three months of each fiscal year during the Employment Term (no later than November 30, 2013 for
2013), with a potential bonus of up to two times the Target Annual Bonus for extraordinary performance; provided, however, the Board, in its sole discretion, may appropriately adjust such performance targets in any fiscal year to reflect any
merger, acquisition or divestiture effected by the Company during such fiscal year. The Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid by the Company to Executive in a cash lump sum during the calendar year immediately following the fiscal year in which it is
earned, promptly after the Company receives its audited financial statements with respect to the fiscal year in which the Annual Bonus was earned. The Annual Bonus shall be prorated for partial years of employment and, for fiscal year 2013, shall be
paid in the first quarter of 2014. 
 c. The Company shall provide Executive a monthly automobile allowance of $1,000. 

d. Executive and the Company shall enter into separate agreements relating to the Company’s grant of equity awards to Executive. 

4. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s employee benefit
plans as in effect from time to time (collectively “Employee Benefits”), on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other senior executives of the Company. Executive’s medical benefits shall commence on
the first day of the month following the sixtieth (60th) day after the Commencement Date and, for the interim period before such coverage begins, the Company shall reimburse Executive for the
“COBRA” premiums he pays for continued medical coverage from his prior employer. In addition to standard Company holidays, Executive shall be entitled to four weeks of annual vacation (prorated for partial years of employment) in
accordance with Company policies. 
 5. Business Expenses. During the Employment Term, reasonable business expenses incurred by
Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Company in accordance with Company policies. 

  
 2 

 6. Termination. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be
terminated by either party at any time and for any reason; provided that Executive will be required to give the Company at least 60 days advance written notice of any resignation of Executive’s employment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6 shall exclusively govern Executive’s rights upon termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates. 

a. By the Company With Cause or By Executive Other Than As a Result of a Constructive Termination. 

(i) The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company with Cause (as defined below) and shall
terminate automatically upon the effective date of Executive’s resignation other than as a result of a Constructive Termination (as defined in Section 6(c)); provided that Executive will be required to give the Company at least 60
days advance written notice of a resignation other than as a result of a Constructive Termination. 
 (ii) For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” shall mean that the Board, based on information then known to the Company or the General Partner, determines in good faith (A) Executive’s willful or grossly negligent continued failure to substantially perform
Executive’s material duties hereunder (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness) for a period of 10 days following written notice by the Company or the General Partner to Executive of such failure,
(B) dishonesty in the performance of Executive’s material duties hereunder, (C) an act or acts on Executive’s part constituting, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime constituting, (x) a felony under the
laws of the United States or any state thereof or (y) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, (D) Executive’s willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with Executive’s duties hereunder or (E) Executive’s
breach, in a material respect, of Sections 7 or 8 of this Agreement that is not cured (to the extent curable) for a period of 10 days following written notice by the Company or the General Partner to Executive of such breach. 

(iii) If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company with Cause or if Executive resigns other than as a result of a Constructive
Termination, Executive shall be entitled to receive: 
 (A) the Base Salary accrued through the date of termination, payable
in accordance with the Company’s usual payment practices; 
 (B) any Annual Bonus earned, but unpaid, as of the date of
termination for the immediately preceding fiscal year, paid in accordance with Section 3(b) (except to the extent payment is otherwise deferred pursuant to any applicable deferred compensation arrangement with the Company); 

(C) reimbursement, within 60 days following submission by Executive to the Company of appropriate supporting documentation)
for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Executive in accordance with Company policy prior to the date of Executive’s termination; provided that claims for such 

  
 3 

 
reimbursement (accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation) are submitted to the Company within 90 days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment; and 

(D) such fully vested and nonforfeitable Employee Benefits, if any, as to which Executive may be entitled under the employee
benefit plans of the Company (the amounts described in clauses (A) through (D) hereof being referred to as the “Accrued Rights”). 

Following such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company with Cause or resignation by Executive other than as a result of a
Constructive Termination, except as set forth in this Section 6(a)(iii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

b. Disability or Death. 

(i) The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death and may be terminated by the
Company if Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of six (6) consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine (9) months in any twenty-four (24) consecutive month period to perform
Executive’s duties (such incapacity is hereinafter referred to as “Disability”). Any question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing
by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. If Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a
third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement. 

(ii) Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for either Disability or death, Executive or Executive’s estate (as the
case may be) shall be entitled to receive: 
 (A) the Accrued Rights; and 

(B) a pro-rata portion of the Annual Bonus, if any, that Executive would have been entitled to receive pursuant to
Section 3(b) hereof in such year based upon the percentage of the fiscal year that shall have elapsed through the date of Executive’s termination of employment, payable when such Annual Bonus would have otherwise been payable to Executive
pursuant to Section 3(b) had Executive’s employment not terminated (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”). 
 Following
Executive’s termination of employment due to death or Disability, except as set forth in this Section 6(b)(ii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

  
 4 

 c. By the Company Without Cause or Resignation by Executive as a result of a Constructive
Termination. 
 (i) The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company without Cause or by
Executive’s resignation as a result of a Constructive Termination. 
 (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Constructive
Termination” shall mean any of the following, without the Executive’s prior written consent: (A) a material reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or Target Annual Bonus; (B) a material diminution of the
Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (C) a required relocation of the Executive’s primary place of business by more than fifty (50) miles from Denver, Colorado; (D) the failure of the Company to pay or cause to
be paid Executive’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus, when due hereunder or (E) any material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any agreement between the Company and the Executive relating to Executive’s compensation (including any
equity awards); provided that either of the events described in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) of this Section 6(c)(ii) shall constitute a Constructive Termination only if the Company fails to cure such event within 30 days
after receipt from Executive of written notice of the event which constitutes such Constructive Termination; provided, further, that a “Constructive Termination” shall cease to exist for an event on the 60th day following the later of its occurrence or Executive’s knowledge thereof, unless Executive has given the Company written notice thereof prior to such date. 

(iii) If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or if Executive
resigns as a result of a Constructive Termination, Executive shall be entitled to receive: 
 (A) the Accrued Rights; and

 (B) subject to Executive’s continued compliance with the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 and execution, within 30
days after the date of Executive’s termination of employment, and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company and its affiliates in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, 

(1) continued payment of the Base Salary in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, as in effect on the
date of termination of Executive’s employment, until twelve months after the date of such termination (the “Severance Period”); and 

(2) an amount equal to Executive’s Annual Bonus in respect of the fiscal year immediately preceding the applicable year
of Executive’s termination of employment, payable in equal monthly installments for the Severance Period; and 
 (3)
payment of Executive’s “COBRA” premiums until the earlier of the end of the Severance Period or when Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA coverage under applicable law. 

  
 5 

 Following Executive’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause (other than by
reason of Executive’s death or Disability) or by Executive’s resignation as a result of a Constructive Termination, except as set forth in this Section 6(c)(iii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other
benefits under this Agreement. 
 d. Expiration of Employment Term or Dissolution. In the event (A) Executive elects not to
extend the Employment Term pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement or (B) of a Dissolution with a Negative Return, unless Executive’s employment is earlier terminated pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this
Section 6, Executive’s termination of employment hereunder (whether or not Executive continues as an employee of the Company thereafter) shall be deemed to occur on the close of business on the earlier of the effective date of Dissolution
or the day immediately preceding the next scheduled Extension Date, and Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights. Following such termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall have no further rights to any
compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. In the event (A) that the Company elects not to extend the Employment Term pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement or (B) of a Dissolution with a Positive Return, Executive
shall be treated as terminated without Cause effective as of (as applicable) the close of business on the day immediately preceding the next scheduled Extension Date or the effective date of the Dissolution, and shall be entitled to receive the
amounts and benefits specified in Section 6(c)(iii). For purposes hereof, “Positive Return” means the Sponsor shall have received aggregate cash proceeds and the fair market value of property in respect of its Class A-1
Interests in the Company equal to more than 100% of its aggregate Capital Contributions (as defined in the LP Agreement) in respect of such Class A-1 Interests, and “Negative Return” means that the Sponsor shall have received
aggregate cash proceeds and the fair market value of property in respect of its Class A-1 Interests in the Company of equal to or less than 100% of its aggregate Capital Contributions (as defined in the
LP Agreement) in respect of such Class A-1 Interests. Capitalized terms in the immediately-preceding sentence shall have the same meaning as specified in the Management Interest Subscription Agreement between Executive and the Company. 

e. Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of employment by the Company or by Executive (other than due to Executive’s
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10(i) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the provision so indicated. 

f. Resignation from Other Positions. Upon termination of Executive’s employment from the Company for any reason, Executive agrees
to resign, as of the date of such termination and to the extent applicable, from the board of directors (and any committees thereof) of any of the Company’s affiliates and any positions held at the General Partner.

by the Company (or such shorter time as provided in Section 7(a)(6)(b)) (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, firm, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever (“Person”), directly or indirectly solicit or assist in soliciting in competition with the Company, the business of any client
or prospective client: 
  

	 	(i)	with whom Executive had personal contact or dealings on behalf of the Company during the one-year period preceding Executive’s termination of employment; 

 

	 	(ii)	with whom employees reporting to Executive have had personal contact or dealings on behalf of the Company during the one year immediately preceding the Executive’s termination of employment; or

	 	(i)	engage in any business involved, either directly or indirectly, in (x) the acquisition of companies primarily engaged in the U.S. and Canadian aggregates and related downstream product sectors (including, but not
limited to, asphalt, paving, cement, concrete and concrete products) (any such company, a “Business”) or (y) the operation of any Business (any such business as described in subclauses (x) or (y), a “Competitive
Business”); 

  

	 	(ii)	enter the employ of, or render any services to, any Person (or any division or controlled or controlling affiliate of any Person) who or which engages in a Competitive Business; 

 

	 	(iii)	acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or

	 	(iv)	interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, business relationships (whether formed before, on or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company or any of its affiliates, customers, clients, suppliers, partners,
members, investors or acquisition targets. 

  
 7 

 (3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Executive may, directly or
indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any Person engaged in a Competitive Business which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if Executive (i) is not a controlling
Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person. 

(4) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any
Person, directly or indirectly: 
  

	 	(i)	solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or its affiliates to leave the employment of the Company or its affiliates; or 

  

	 	(ii)	hire any such employee who was employed by the Company or its affiliates as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company or who left the employment of the Company or its affiliates

 (5)
During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage to cease to work with the Company or its affiliates any consultant then under contract with the Company or its affiliates. 

(6) (a) Executive will not, other than as required by law or by order of a court or other competent authority, make or publish, or cause any
other person to make or publish, any statement that is disparaging or that reflects negatively upon the Company or its affiliates, or that is or reasonably would be expected to be damaging to the reputation of the Company or its affiliates. 

(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 7
to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of
this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of
competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions
contained herein. 
 8. Confidentiality; Intellectual Property. 

a. Confidentiality. 

(i) Executive will not at any time (whether during or after Executive’s employment with the Company) (x) retain or use for the
benefit, purposes or account of Executive or any other Person; or (y) disclose, divulge, reveal, communicate, share, transfer or 

  
 8 

 
provide access to any Person outside the Company (other than its professional advisers who are bound by confidentiality obligations), any non-public, proprietary or confidential information
— including without limitation trade secrets, know-how, research and development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and other intellectual property, information concerning finances, investments, profits,

the public other than as a result of Executive’s breach of this covenant or any breach of other confidentiality obligations by third parties; (b) made legitimately available to Executive by a third party without breach of any
confidentiality obligation; or (c) required by law to be disclosed; provided that Executive shall give prompt written notice to the Company of such requirement, disclose no more information than is so required, and cooperate with any
attempts by the Company to obtain a protective order or similar treatment. 
 (iii) Except as required by law, Executive will not disclose
to anyone, other than Executive’s immediate family and legal or financial advisors, the existence or contents of this Agreement; provided that Executive may disclose to any prospective future employer the provisions of Sections 7 and 8
of this Agreement provided they agree to maintain the confidentiality of such terms. 
 (iv) Upon termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall (x) cease and not thereafter commence use of any Confidential Information or intellectual property (including without limitation, any patent, invention, copyright, trade secret,
trademark, trade name, logo, domain name or other source indicator) owned or used by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates; (y) immediately destroy, delete, or return to the Company, at the Company’s option, all originals and copies
in any form or medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters and other data) in Executive’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in Executive’s office, home, laptop or other
computer, whether or not Company property) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the business of the Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries, except that Executive may retain only those portions of any personal notes,
notebooks and diaries that do not contain any Confidential Information; and (z) notify and fully cooperate with the Company regarding the delivery or destruction of any other Confidential Information of which Executive is or becomes aware. 

b. Intellectual Property. 

(i) If Executive has created, invented, designed, developed, contributed to or improved any works of authorship, inventions, intellectual
property, materials, documents or other work product (including without limitation, research, reports, software, databases, systems, 

  
 9 

 
applications, presentations, textual works, content, or audiovisual materials) (“Works”), either alone or with third parties, prior to Executive’s employment by the Company,
that are relevant to or implicated by such employment (“Prior Works”), Executive hereby grants the Company a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, assignable, sublicensable license under all rights and intellectual
property rights (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) therein for all purposes in connection with the Company’s current and future business. 

(ii) If Executive creates, invents, designs, develops, contributes to or improves any Works, either alone or with third parties, at any time
during Executive’s employment by the Company and within the scope of such employment and/or with the use of any the Company resources (“Company Works”), Executive shall promptly and fully disclose same to the Company and hereby
irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and intellectual property rights therein (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair
competition and related laws) to the Company to the extent ownership of any such rights does not vest originally in the Company. 
 (iii)
Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other form or media requested by the Company) of all Company Works. The records will be available to and remain the sole
property and intellectual property of the Company at all times. 
 (iv) Executive shall take all requested actions and execute all
requested documents (including any licenses or assignments required by a government contract) at the Company’s expense (but without further remuneration) to assist the Company in validating, maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting,
recording, patenting or registering any of the Company’s rights in the Prior Works and Company Works. If the Company is unable for any other reason to secure Executive’s signature on any document for this purpose, then Executive hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and on Executive’s behalf and stead to execute any documents and to do all other lawfully
permitted acts in connection with the foregoing. 
 (v) Executive shall not improperly use for the benefit of, bring to any premises of,
divulge, disclose, communicate, reveal, transfer or provide access to, or share with the Company any confidential, proprietary or non-public information or intellectual property relating to a former employer or other third party without the prior
written permission of such third party. Executive hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to defend the Company and its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives from any breach of the foregoing covenant. Executive
shall comply with all relevant policies and guidelines of the Company, including regarding the protection of confidential information and intellectual property and potential conflicts of interest. Executive acknowledges that the Company may amend
any such policies and guidelines from time to time, and that Executive remains at all times bound by their most current version. 
 (vi)
The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason. 

  
 10 

 9. Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s
remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 7 or Section 8 would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of
this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise
required by this Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. 

10. Miscellaneous. 
 a.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof that would direct the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction. 
 b. Entire Agreement/Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
employment of Executive by the Company, and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (except that matters relating to the Company’s grant of equity awards to
Executive and Executive’s investment in the equity of the Company shall be governed by the separate agreements relating thereto). There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with
respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto. 

c. No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be
considered a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. 

d. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 

e. Assignment. This Agreement, and all of Executive’s rights and duties hereunder, shall not be assignable or delegable by
Executive. Any purported assignment or delegation by Executive in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a Person or entity which is an
affiliate or a successor in interest to substantially all of the business operations of the Company. Upon such assignment, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of such affiliate or successor
Person or entity. 

  
 11 

 f. No Mitigation. Executive shall not be obligated to mitigate the amount of severance
payments payable hereunder by seeking other employment, or otherwise, nor shall the amounts payable to Executive hereunder be reduced by compensation earned by Executive by any subsequent employer. 

g. Compliance with IRC Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of Executive’s
termination of employment with the Company Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the deferral of the commencement of any
payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder or pursuant to any other agreement with the Company as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the
Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six months following
Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code without any accelerated or additional tax) and (ii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to
Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under
Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Board, that is reasonably expected not to cause such an accelerated or additional tax. For
purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of the Section 409A of the Code, and references herein to Executive’s
“termination of employment” shall refer to Executive’s separation from service with the Company Group within the meaning of Section 409A. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to Executive under this Agreement
constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be paid to Executive in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). The Company shall
consult with Executive in good faith regarding the implementation of the provisions of this Section 10(g); provided that neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to Executive with respect
thereto. 
 h. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 i. Notice. For the purpose of
this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or overnight courier or three days after it has been mailed by United States
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below in this Agreement, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except
that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

 1 

 1. Termination of Employment.  

(a) The parties hereto agree that Executive’s employment with (including as an advisor to) the Company shall terminate effective as of

amended from time to time. 
 (d) This Agreement supersedes the Employment Agreement in all respects, notwithstanding Section 15(b) of
the Employment Agreement, and the Employment Agreement shall have no further force or effect and the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. 

2. Executive’s Release. 

(a) In consideration of the payments Executive shall receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement including,
without limitation, pursuant to the Promissory Note, Executive, for himself, his spouse, heirs, administrators, children, representatives, executors, successors, assigns, and all other persons claiming through Executive, if any (collectively,
“Releasers”), does hereby release, waive, and forever discharge CAM, Advisors, CILLC, CFP, CPH, Calamos Financial Services LLC, Calamos Investments LLP and each of their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, managers, members and related
organizations, together with their respective present and former employees, officers, directors, stockholders, attorneys and agents, including, without limitation, Buyer and JPC Jr., and each of their predecessors, heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from, and does fully waive any obligations of Releasees to Releasers for, any and all liability, actions, charges, causes of action, demands, damages, or claims for relief,
remuneration, sums of money, accounts or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown or contingent or absolute (“Claims”), which heretofore has been or which hereafter may be
suffered or sustained, directly or indirectly, by Releasers by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time 

  
 2 

 
to the time Executive signs this Agreement, (i) relating to or arising out of Executive’s employment, director, stockholder or other relationship, or the termination of Executive’s
employment, director, stockholder or other relationship, with Advisors, CAM, CFP, CPH or any other Releasee, or (ii) relating to or arising under any policy, agreement, plan, contract, understanding or promise, written or oral, formal or
informal, between any Releasee and Executive, including, without limitation, (A) the Employment Agreement, (B) the Calamos Holdings, Inc. (predecessor to CFP) Stockholder Agreement dated as of January 1, 2002 (the “2002
Stockholder Agreement”), (C) the Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of October 28, 2004 among CAM, Calamos Holdings LLC (predecessor to CILLC), CFP, Buyer, Executive, JPC Jr., John P. Calamos 1985 Trust Dated August 21, 1985,
the John P. Calamos Annuity Trust Dated June 21, 1958 and The John P. Calamos Annuity Trust II Dated November 1, 1998 (the “2004 Stockholder Agreement”), and (D) any stock option or restricted shares agreement between
Executive and any Releasee (the “Release”). The foregoing Release includes, but is not limited to, all Claims under common law including wrongful or retaliatory discharge, breach of contract, and any action arising in tort including libel,
slander, defamation or intentional infliction of emotional distress, and Claims under any federal, state or local statute including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and 1871 (42 U.S.C.
Section 1981), the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the National Labor Relations Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Illinois Human Rights Act, each as amended, or the discrimination or employment laws of any state or municipality, and/or any Claims under any express or
implied contract which Releasers may claim existed with any of the Releasees. This Release also includes a release by Executive of any Claims for alleged physical or personal injury or emotional distress, and any Claims under the Worker Adjustment

under applicable law, (2) affect Executive’s right to receive benefits under the pension plans of the Company that have vested on or prior to the Termination Date, or (3) be construed to prohibit Executive from bringing appropriate
proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Promissory Note or the Escrow Agreement.

Release are any Claims which cannot be waived by law, including but not limited to the right to participate in an investigation conducted by certain government agencies. Executive does, however, waive Executive’s and the other Releasers’
rights to any monetary recovery should any agency (such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) pursue any claims on Executive’s behalf. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not filed any complaint, charge, or lawsuit
against any of the Releasees with any government agency, court or arbitrator arising out of any of the matters released in Section 2(a). 

(c) Executive agrees never to sue Releasees in any forum for any claim covered by the above Release, except that Executive may bring a claim
under the ADEA to challenge this Release. If Executive violates this Release by suing Releasees, other than under the ADEA or as otherwise set forth in Section 2(a) hereof, Executive shall be liable to the Company for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in defending against such a suit. Nothing in this Release is intended to reflect any party’s belief that Executive’s waiver of claims under ADEA is invalid or unenforceable, it being the intent
of the parties that such claims are waived. 

  
 3 

 (d) Executive acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Purchase Agreement, the Promissory Note and the Escrow Agreement, (i) any and all obligations owed to Executive arising out of or relating to the Executive’s employment, director, stockholder or other relationship with Advisors, CAM, CFP,
CPH or any other Releasee have been satisfied, and (ii) no further payments or benefits are owed to the Executive by any Releasee arising out of or relating to Executive’s employment, director, stockholder or other relationship with

Purchase Agreement and Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, each of CAM, Advisors, CFP, CPH, Buyer and JPC Jr. (each, a “Calamos Releaser”) does hereby release, waive, and forever discharge Executive and his spouse, heirs,
administrators, children, representatives, executors, successors and assigns, each in their capacities on behalf of Executive (collectively, the “Executive Releasees”) from, and does fully waive any obligations of Executive Releasees to
the Calamos Releaser for, any and all Claims which heretofore has been or which hereafter may be suffered or sustained, directly or indirectly, by the Calamos Releaser by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of

Releaser and Executive, including, without limitation, (A) the Employment Agreement, (B) the 2002 Stockholder Agreement, (C) the 2004 Stockholders Agreement, and (D) any stock option or restricted shares agreement between
Executive and the Calamos Releaser (the “Calamos Release”). Nothing contained in this Calamos Release shall (1) release the Executive Releasees from any Claims involving allegations (x) which arise out of facts or circumstances
not known to the members of the Board of Directors or executive officers of CAM, Advisors, CFP or CPH, or Buyer or JPC Jr., as of the date the Calamos Releaser signs this Agreement, (y) of fraud, embezzlement or violation of any criminal
statute, or (z) as to which Executive may not be indemnified under applicable law; or (2) be construed to prohibit any Calamos Releaser from bringing appropriate proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Promissory

courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding) and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
such claim, action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such claim, action, suit or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

to the Company and the Company would be irreparably damaged if Executive were to provide services to any person or entity in violation of the provisions of this Agreement; 

(v) Executive understands that the Company’s names, the name of any Funds and accounts managed by the Company (such
proprietary Funds, accounts and any other client account managed by the Company, the “Company Accounts”) and the investment performance of any Company Account and the Company’s relationships with its clients and employees are
extremely valuable and are the result of the expenditure of substantial time, effort and resources by the Company; 
 (vi)
the restrictions set forth in this Section 5 are given as an integral and essential part of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Promissory Note and the Escrow Agreement, and are required as a condition of Closing; and

without Executive agreeing to the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.

institution, business or entity (each an “Entity”) directly or indirectly engaged in the Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not restrict Executive from: 

(i) making investments of the types commonly known in the investment community as “private equity investments,”

investment vehicle or operating or portfolio Entities shall not include (A) any Hedge Fund; (B) any private equity fund or other pooled investment vehicle which is invested in, or thereafter invests in, a portfolio or operating Entity

equity fund or other pooled investment vehicle which is, at the time Executive first engages in the activities set forth in this sentence, either intended or expected to be offered publicly (which, for this purpose, shall include broad-based public
offerings pursuant to rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Jobs Act) or traded in a public secondary market, or to be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on any public quotation medium. 

(e) Non-Solicit. During the Non-Compete Period, Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, on his behalf or
another’s behalf: 
 (i) solicit clients of the Company or subsidiaries of the Company with whom Executive developed a

subsidiary of the Company; 
 (ii) solicit, induce or expressly encourage any person employed or engaged by the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company in investment management, research, sales, marketing or client service at the level of “Analyst” and/or “Manager” or higher to leave his or her employment, agency or office with the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, or employ or engage, or be employed or engaged with (other than in the case of a private equity fund or pooled investment vehicle referred to in Section 5(d)(iii) so long as Executive had no direct or indirect
involvement in such solicitation, inducement or express encouragement), any such person who is then, or during the immediately preceding one (1)-year period was, employed or engaged by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; or 

(iii) solicit, induce or expressly encourage any person employed or engaged by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company
(other than the persons referred to in Section 5(e)(ii) above) to leave his or her employment, agency or office with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or employ or engage, or be employed or engaged with (other than in the case of a
private equity fund or pooled investment vehicle referred to in Section 5(d)(iii)), any such person who is then, or during the immediately preceding one (1)-year period was, employed or engaged by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company,
for the purpose of providing or offering to provide, services or products of the kind generally offered by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. 

  
 8 

 (f) “Calamos” Names. For so long as the Company uses “Calamos,”
“Calamos Advisors,” “Calamos Investments,” or “Calamos Asset Management” or any other name used by the Company as of the date of this Agreement (the “Calamos Names”), Executive agrees that he will not,
directly or indirectly, on his behalf or any other person’s or entity’s behalf, use in any public filing or advertisement, or in the marketing of any service or product which is a Competing Activity, the Calamos Names or any other name,
logo or indicia that is confusingly similar with the Calamos Names. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may identify himself using his first name and surname, with or without his middle initial, in any résumé or curriculum vitae,
or any public filing or advertisement or in the marketing of any service or product which is a Competing Activity; provided any such identification is not done in a trademark manner and is simply for purposes of personal identification and
identification and description of Executive’s prior employments and service as an officer and/or director (or person performing similar functions) as stated in the Company’s filings with the SEC and mass communications to CAM shareholders.

 (g) Company Accounts and Prior Association. During the Non-Compete period, Executive agrees that he will not, directly or
indirectly, on his behalf or another’s behalf refer in any public filing or advertisement or marketing of any service or product which is a Competing Activity to (i) any Company Account or the investment performance thereof or
(ii) Executive’s prior association with the Company or its affiliates or any Company Account; provided, however, that Executive may refer to any Company Account or the investment performance thereof so long as such reference is not made in
advertising or marketing in newspapers, magazines, trade journals or other public media (excluding published books authored or co-authored by Executive that are substantially similar in scope, context and coverage to Executive’s book
Convertible Arbitrage: Insights and Techniques for Successful Hedging), or direct advertising or marketing materials, and such information is limited to the extent that (x) such information is contained in any SEC filings previously made
by the Company, mass communications to shareholders of the Company previously made by the Company or in other prior media publications and information that is publicly-available on the date hereof, or (y) reference to such information is
otherwise required by law, it being acknowledged by the Company and the Executive that, based on applicable rules, regulations and court decisions in effect as of the date this Agreement is entered into, information relating to the investment
performance of any Company Account is not information reference to which “is otherwise required by law” within the meaning of said clause (y). 

(h) Certain Permitted Activities and Interests. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no provision of this
Agreement shall prohibit Executive or any other person or Entity from: 
 (i) investing, reinvesting and managing, money or
property owned solely by Executive or his spouse or jointly by Executive and his spouse in (A) Entities to the extent permitted in Section 5(i) or (B) Entities conducting only activities described in Section 5(h)(ii); or 

(ii) providing investment management and advisory services, as well as providing or arranging for personal services (such as

unified managed account program of a third-party sponsor pursuant to which such Person does not have a contract directly with the Company or its subsidiaries or pay fees directly to the Company or its subsidiaries (each of the foregoing in (1),
(2) and (3) being herein referred to collectively as an “Eligible Family” and the individuals from time to time constituting an Eligible Family being herein referred to as “Eligible Family Members”), 

(B) charities as to which the sum of the amount of cash and the value of property donated by Eligible Family Members during
the preceding two calendar years constituted 70% or more of sum of the amount of cash and the value of property donated to such charity by all donors during such period,

the foregoing, 
 provided that such services are provided exclusively through a single office (which may be an Entity owned wholly or
partly by Executive) whether or not required to be registered under federal or state law as an “investment adviser,” and provided, further, that except for interests in 

  
 10 

 
such family office and except as permitted in this Section 5(h)(ii) or Section 5(h)(iii), no Entity owning an interest in such family office is otherwise, engaged in the Business; or

 (iii) serving without compensation as an officer or director of (or in a position exercising similar functions for)

federal taxation under section 170, 642, 2055, or 2522 of the Internal Revenue Code and (B) which at the time Executive commences Service neither owns any Calamos products nor is an investor in any Funds, provided that, prior to the time
Executive commences such Service, Executive shall have notified the independent directors of CAM of his intention to provide such Service and such Service was approved by a majority of such independent directors. The prior approval described in the
preceding sentence shall not be required with respect to any Entity (x) described in clauses (1)(a) through (1)(d) of Schedule 5(h)(iii) to this Agreement or (y) any other Entity described in such Schedule 5(h)(iii) if, at the
time Executive commences Service, such Entity does not have investments or investable assets (other than program-related investments) exceeding $50 million (as reported on the version of Internal Revenue Service Form 990-Return of Organization
Exempt From Income Tax that the Entity more recently filed with the Internal Revenue Service). 
 (i) Additional Permitted Interests.
In addition, this Section 5 shall not prohibit Executive or a family office conducting only activities described in Section 5(h)(ii) from being a passive owner of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any class of
securities of an Entity whose securities are publicly traded, so long as Executive does not have any active participation in the business of such Entity. 

(j) Non-Exclusive Remedy for Restrictive Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Agreement,
including those set forth in this Section 5 and Section 6 (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s business interests, that irreparable injury will result
to the Company if Executive breaches any of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants, and that in the event of Executive’s actual or threatened breach of any such Restrictive Covenants, the Company will have no adequate remedy at law. Executive
accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by him of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall be entitled to immediate temporary injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity of showing actual
monetary damages or the posting of bond. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages. The duration of
a Restrictive Covenant shall be extended by such time during which such breach continues without cure by Executive. 
 6. Cooperation;
Non-Disparagement; Return of Property. Executive agrees that he will (i) provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to the Company and its affiliates in activities related to open work matters and the prosecution or defense of any
pending or future lawsuits, arbitrations, other proceedings or claims involving the Company or its affiliates (excluding any such matters to which Executive and the Company and/or any of its affiliates are

  
 11 

 
adverse parties, other than shareholder derivative lawsuits or claims) (“Calamos Litigation”); (ii) make himself available to the Company and its affiliates on reasonable notice
and without the need for issuance of any subpoena or similar process to testify or assist in any Calamos Litigation provided that Executive may, at his cost and expense, have his personal attorney present and consult privately with his personal
attorney during all such testimony or assistance; and (iii) refrain from providing any information related to any claim or potential Calamos Litigation to any non-Calamos representatives unless he shall (A) have first obtained the consent
of the Chief Executive Officer or General Counsel of the Company or (B) be required to provide testimony pursuant to legal process in which case he will consult with and permit the Company’s legal counsel to be present to such testimony.
Each party agrees that its statements will be consistent with any Company press release pertaining to Executive’s employment or termination thereof and that it shall not make any negative or disparaging comments about the other or its members,
managers, officers, employees, affiliates, products, or services. Further, Executive represents and agrees that he has returned to the Company any property of the Company or its affiliates, such as computer equipment, cell phone, credit cards, keys,
books, records and other materials (in any medium). 
 7. Breach. Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event that the
Company or any Releasee prevails on any claim to enforce any provision of Section 2 or 5 of this Agreement, the Company or the Releasee shall be entitled to an award of all costs and expenses incurred thereby, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
 8. Indemnification. 

(a) The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party to or involved in, or is threatened to be made a party to or otherwise to be involved
in, any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the
basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any and all liabilities,
losses, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement in connection therewith, and shall be advanced reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) as and when incurred in connection therewith, to the fullest
extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s By-laws or, if greater, by the laws of the State of Delaware, as may be in effect from time to time. The rights conferred on Executive by this Section 8(a) shall not be exclusive of
any other rights which Executive may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for by this
Section 8 shall continue as to Executive after he ceases to be an employee and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. 

(b) Following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company and thereafter for the duration of any statute of limitations or
other period during which a claim might be successfully brought against Executive, Executive shall be covered to the same extent as directors by any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the Company from time to
time.

for good and valuable consideration; 
 (b) Executive has read and understands this Agreement, including the Release set forth in
Section 2, in its entirety; 
 (c) Executive has been advised and directed orally and in writing (and this subparagraph
(c) constitutes such written direction) to seek legal counsel and any other advice he wishes with respect to the terms of this Agreement, including the Release set forth in Section 2, before executing it; 

(d) Executive has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and, specifically, the Release set forth in Section 2, with an attorney of

(f) By entering into this Agreement, including the Release set forth in Section 2, the Executive is receiving payments to which Executive
would not otherwise be entitled; and 
 (g) Executive has been given twenty-one (21) calendar days after receipt of this Agreement to
consider its terms, including the Release set forth in Section 2, before executing it. Executive agrees that any modifications, material or otherwise, made to this Agreement after the date it was provided to Executive do not restart or affect
in any manner the original twenty-one (21) calendar day consideration period. 
 10. Revocation. 

(a) Executive will have seven (7) calendar days from the date on which Executive signs this Agreement to revoke his consent to the
Release set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement. Such revocation must be delivered to Calamos Advisors LLC/Calamos Asset Management, Inc., 2020 Calamos Court, Naperville, IL 60563, Attn: General Counsel. Notice of such revocation must be

 13 

 11. Successors. 

(a) This Agreement is personal to Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by Executive
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representatives. 

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon CAM, Advisors, CFP, CPH, Buyer and JPC Jr. and each of their successors
and permitted assigns. It shall not be assignable by CAM, Advisors, CFP, CPH, Buyer, JPC Jr. or any of their successors except in connection with the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets or business of CAM, Advisors, CFP,
CPH, Buyer or JPC Jr. Each of CAM, Advisors, CFP, CPH, Buyer and JPC Jr. shall require any successor to all or substantially all of its or his business or assets, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock,
or otherwise, by an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as CAM, Advisors, CFP, CPH, Buyer and JPC Jr. would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 
 12. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the
Promissory Note and the Escrow Agreement contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may be amended, modified or changed only by a written instrument executed by Executive and each other party
hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a writing executed and delivered by the party sought to be charged. Any such written waiver will be effective only with respect to the event or circumstance described therein and not
with respect to any other event or circumstance, unless such waiver expressly provides to the contrary. 
 13. Miscellaneous. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (EXCEPT SECTION 8
(INDEMNIFICATION) WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE), WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. THE CAPTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE NOT PART OF THE PROVISIONS HEREOF AND SHALL HAVE NO FORCE OR EFFECT. 

(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this 

  
 14 

 
Agreement shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, such provisions shall be construed by limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent
allowed by applicable law. 
 (c) All compensation payable to Executive from the Company shall be subject to all applicable withholding
taxes, normal payroll withholding and any other amounts required by law to be withheld. 
 (d) The intent of the parties is that payments
and benefits under this Agreement shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in
compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, Executive shall not be considered to have
terminated employment with (including as an advisor to) the Company for purposes of this Agreement and no payments shall be due to Executive under this Agreement until Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from
service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of
Section 409A of the Code, and any payments described in this Agreement that are due within the “short term deferral period,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable
Law requires otherwise. To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this
Agreement during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following Executive’s termination of employment (or death,
if earlier). To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts reimbursable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year following the
year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to Executive) during any one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. 

(e) This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same Agreement. 
 (f) The descriptive headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and
are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. 

(g) The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no
rule of strict construction will be applied against any party hereto. Neither Executive nor any other party hereto shall be entitled to any presumption in connection with any determination made hereunder in connection with any arbitration, judicial
or administrative proceeding relating to or arising under this Agreement. 

  
 15 

 (h) Except as provided in Section 10(a), all notices, demands or other communications to be
given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) the following business day after deposit from within the United States with a reputable express
courier service (charges prepaid), (ii) three (3) days after mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, or (iii) upon receipt in all other cases. Such notices, demands and other
communications shall be sent to the addresses indicated below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party shall have specified by prior written notice to the sending party: 

(i) If to CAM, CILLC, Advisors, CFP or CPH: [Name of the party], 2020 Calamos Court, Naperville, IL 60563, Attn: General
Counsel; 
 (ii) If to Buyer or JPC Jr: [Name of party], 2020 Calamos Court, Naperville, IL, 60563, Attn: [Name of the
