	$75,000,000
	New York, New York

KEMET ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“KEC”), KEMET FOIL MANUFACTURING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Foil”), KEMET BLUE POWDER CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (“KEMET Blue”), THE FOREST ELECTRIC COMPANY ̧ an Illinois corporation (“FELCO”  and, together with KEC, Foil, and KEMET Blue, each individually a “Borrower” and, collectively, “Borrowers”), for value received, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (“Lender”), the principal sum of SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($75,000,000), or such lesser amount as may be advanced by Lender as U.S. Revolver Loans and owing as U.S. LC Obligations from time to time under the Loan Agreement described below, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  Terms are used herein as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 30, 2010, among Borrowers, KEMET Electronics Marketing (S) Pte Ltd., a Singapore corporation, Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, Lender, and certain other financial institutions, as such agreement may be amended, modified, renewed or extended from time to time (“Loan Agreement”).
Principal of and interest on this Fifth Amended and Restated Revolver Note (this “Note”) from time to time outstanding shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Agreement.  This Revolver Note is issued pursuant to and evidences U.S. Revolver Loans and U.S. LC Obligations under the Loan Agreement, to which reference is made for a statement of the rights and obligations of Lender and the duties and obligations of Borrowers.  The Loan Agreement contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this Revolver Note upon the happening of certain stated events, and for the borrowing, prepayment and reborrowing of amounts upon specified terms and conditions.
The holder of this Note is hereby authorized by Borrowers to record on a schedule annexed to this Note (or on a supplemental schedule) the amounts owing with respect to U.S. Revolver Loans and U.S. LC Obligations, and the payment thereof.  Failure to make any notation, however, shall not affect the rights of the holder of this Note or any obligations of Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents.
Time is of the essence of this Note.  Each Borrower and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors of this Note hereby severally waive demand, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note, diligence in collecting, the bringing of any suit against any party, and any notice of or defense on account of any extensions, renewals, partial payments, or changes in any manner of or in this Note or in any of its terms, provisions and covenants, or any releases or substitutions of any security, or any delay, indulgence or other act of any trustee or any holder hereof, whether before or after maturity.  Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay, and to save the holder of this Note harmless against, any liability for the payment of all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) if this Note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law.
In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the holder of this Note for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest 

lawful rate permitted under Applicable Law.  If any such excess amount is inadvertently paid by Borrowers or inadvertently received by the holder of this Note, such excess shall be returned to Borrowers or credited as a payment of principal, in accordance with the Loan Agreement.  It is the intent hereof that Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that holder of this Note not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Borrowers under Applicable Law.

Until  the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations and the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations shall have occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against one or more of the Borrowers or any other Grantor, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intention that:
(a)    Subject to Section 2.5, there shall be no Liens on any asset or property to secure any Term Loan Obligation unless a Lien on such asset or property also secures the Revolving Credit Obligations; or

(b)    subject to Section 2.5, there shall be no Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Revolving Credit Obligations unless a Lien on such asset or property also secures the Term Loan Obligations.
To the extent any additional Liens are granted on any asset or property as described above, the priority of such additional Liens shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.1.  In addition, to the extent that Liens are granted on any asset or property to secure any Term Loan Obligation or Revolving Credit Obligation, as applicable, and a corresponding Lien is not granted to secure the Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as applicable, without limiting any other rights and remedies available hereunder, the Revolving Credit Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders and each Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agree that, subject to Section 2.5, (i) such applicable Collateral Agent that has been granted such Lien shall also hold such Lien on behalf of the other Collateral Agent subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and (ii) any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2.
2.4.    Similar Liens and Agreements.  Subject to Section 2.5, the parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the Revolving Credit Collateral and the Term Loan Facility Collateral be identical.  In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.8, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 2.5:
(a)    upon request by the Revolving Credit Agent or any Term Loan Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Revolving Credit Collateral and the Term Loan Facility Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Revolving Credit Documents and the Term Loan Documents; and
(b)    that the Revolving Credit Collateral Documents, taken as a whole, and the Term Loan Collateral Documents, taken as a whole, shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to differences to reflect the nature of the lending arrangements and the relative priorities of the liens securing the Obligations thereunder with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral and the ABL Priority Collateral.
2.5.    Cash Collateral; Foreign Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sections 2.3 and 2.4 shall not apply to any (i) cash or cash equivalents pledged to secure Revolving Credit Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit or otherwise held by the Revolving Credit Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholder pursuant to Section 2.2.3 of the Revolving Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) and any such cash and cash equivalents shall be applied as specified in the Revolving Credit Agreement and will not constitute Collateral hereunder or (ii) any Liens under any foreign law with respect to any Collateral or any Collateral located outside the United States, other than Term Loan Priority Collateral, subject to applicable law limitations with respect to Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock.

		
	SECTION 3.   
	Enforcement.

3.1.    Exercise of Remedies - Restrictions on Term Loan Collateral Agents.
(a)    Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Term Loan Claimholders:
(1)    will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral (including the exercise of any right of setoff or any right under any lockbox agreement or any control agreement with respect to Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts) or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure); provided, however, that the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Person authorized by it may exercise any or all such rights or remedies after the passage of a period of at least 180 days has elapsed since the later of:  (A) the date on which such Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent declared the existence of a Term Loan Default and demanded the repayment of all the principal amount of any Term Loan Obligations; and (B) the date on which the Revolving Credit Agent received notice from such Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent of such declaration of a Term Loan Default and that the Term Loan Obligations are currently due and payable in full (whether as a result of acceleration thereof or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Term Loan Documents (the “Term Loan Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Term Loan Standstill Period, the Revolving Credit Agent (or any person authorized by it) or Revolving Credit Claimholders shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of such Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent) or shall be stayed under applicable law from exercising such rights and remedies;
(2)    will not contest, protest or object to, or otherwise interfere with, any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Revolving Credit Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder or any other exercise by the Revolving Credit Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, whether under the Revolving Credit Documents or otherwise; and
(3)    subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above and except as may be permitted in Section 3.1(c), will not object to the forbearance by the Revolving Credit Agent or any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Collateral Enforcement Action;
provided, however, that, in the case of (1), (2) and (3) above, the Liens granted to secure the Term Loan Obligations of the Term Loan Claimholders shall attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.
(b)    Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that the Revolving Credit Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall (subject to Section 3.1(a)(1)) have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and, in connection therewith (including voluntary Dispositions of ABL Priority Collateral by the respective Grantors after a Revolving Credit Default) make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with 

respect to the ABL Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, exercising remedies under Deposit Account Control Agreements and Dominion Accounts) without any consultation with or the consent of any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder; provided, however, that the Lien securing the Term Loan Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those properly applied to the Revolving Credit Obligations) of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.  In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that the Revolving Credit Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Revolving Credit Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion.  Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of the ABL Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.  Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any ABL Priority Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Term Loan Collateral Agent and any Term Loan Claimholder may:
(1)    file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Term Loan Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor;
(2)    take any action in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any of the Collateral; provided that such action shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall not be adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, or the rights of the Revolving Credit Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof;
(3)    file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims or Liens of the Term Loan Claimholders, including any claims secured by the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(4)    file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with, or prohibited by, the terms of this Agreement;
(5)    vote on any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 6.7(d)), with respect to the Term Loan Obligations and the Term Loan Priority Collateral; and
(6)    exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral after the termination of the Term Loan Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1).

Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that it will not take or receive any ABL Priority Collateral or any Proceeds of such Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any such Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a), 6.3(c)(1) and this Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Term Loan Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the Term Loan Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred.
(d)    Subject to Sections 3.l(a) and (c) and Section 6.3(c)(1):
(1)    each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that it will not, except as not prohibited herein, take any action that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies under the Revolving Credit Documents or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;
(2)    each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the applicable Term Loan Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Revolving Credit Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the Revolving Credit Obligations or the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations granted in any of the Revolving Credit Documents or undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Revolving Credit Agent or Revolving Credit Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Term Loan Claimholders; and
(3)    each Term Loan Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any of the Term Loan Collateral Documents or any other Term Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Revolving Credit Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Documents.
(e)    Except as otherwise set forth in, or otherwise prohibited by or inconsistent with, any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 3.1(a) and (d), 3.5 and any provision prohibiting or restricting them from taking various actions or making various objections), the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Term Loan Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Term Loan Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any Term Loan Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of ABL Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Term Loan Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Revolving Credit Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations are subject to this Agreement.
(f)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholders of payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect 

of the applicable Term Loan Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholders of rights or remedies with respect to ABL Priority Collateral (including set-off) or enforcement of any Lien on ABL Priority Collateral held by any of them.  Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Revolving Credit Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the Revolving Credit Documents, other than with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral solely to the extent expressly provided herein.
3.2.    Exercise of Remedies - Restrictions on Revolving Credit Agent.
(a)    Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Revolving Credit Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders:
(1)    will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Term Loan Priority Collateral or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure); provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Agent may exercise any or all such other rights or remedies after the passage of a period of at least 180 days has elapsed since the later of:  (A) the date on which the Revolving Credit Agent declared the existence of any Revolving Credit Default and demanded the repayment of all the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Obligations; and (B) the date on which the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent received notice from the Revolving Credit Agent of such declaration of a Revolving Credit Default and that the Revolving Credit Obligations are currently due and payable in full (whether as a result of acceleration thereof or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Revolving Credit Documents (the “Revolving Credit Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Revolving Credit Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Revolving Credit Standstill Period, the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent (or any person authorized by it) shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of such Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Revolving Credit Agent) or shall be stayed under applicable law from exercising such rights and remedies;
(2)    will not contest, protest or object to, or otherwise interfere with, any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder or any other exercise by a Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, whether under the Term Loan Documents or otherwise; and
(3)    subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above and except as may be permitted in Section 3.2(c), will not object to the forbearance by any Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Collateral Enforcement Action;
provided, however, that in the case of (1), (2) and (3) above, the Liens granted to secure the Revolving Credit Obligations of the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.
(b)    Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Revolving Credit Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that the Term Loan Collateral 

Agents and the Term Loan Claimholders shall (subject to Section 3.2(a)(1)) have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and, in connection therewith (including voluntary Dispositions of Term Loan Priority Collateral by the respective Grantors after a Term Loan Default) make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Revolving Credit Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder; provided, however, that the Lien securing the Revolving Credit Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those properly applied to the Term Loan Obligations) of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.  In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Revolving Credit Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Term Loan Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Term Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion.  Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of the Term Loan Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.  The Revolving Credit Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Term Loan Priority Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Revolving Credit Agent and any Revolving Credit Claimholder may:
(1)    file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Revolving Credit Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor;
(2)    take any action in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any of the Collateral; provided that such action shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall not be adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral, or the rights of any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the Term Loan Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof;
(3)    file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims or Liens of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Term Loan Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(4)    file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with or prohibited by the terms of this Agreement;
(5)    vote on any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 6.7(d)), with respect to the Revolving Credit Obligations and the ABL Priority Collateral; and

(6)    exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral after the termination of the Revolving Credit Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.2(a)(1).
The Revolving Credit Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that it will not take or receive any Term Loan Priority Collateral or any Proceeds of such Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any such Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.2(a), 6.3(c)(2) and this Section 3.2(c), the sole right of the Revolving Credit Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the Revolving Credit Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred.
(d)    Subject to Sections 3.2(a) and (c) and Section 6.3(c)(2):
(1)    the Revolving Credit Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that the Revolving Credit Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders will not, except as not prohibited herein, take any action that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies under the Term Loan Documents or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;
(2)    the Revolving Credit Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Revolving Credit Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the any Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the Term Loan Obligations or the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations granted in any of the Term Loan Documents or undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Revolving Credit Claimholders; and
(3)    the Revolving Credit Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any of the Revolving Credit Collateral Documents or any other Revolving Credit Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Term Loan Collateral Agents or the Term Loan Claimholders with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Term Loan Documents.
(e)    Except as otherwise set forth in, or otherwise prohibited by or inconsistent with, any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 3.2(a) and (d), Section 3.5 and any provision prohibiting or restricting them from taking various actions or making various objections), the Revolving Credit Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any Revolving Credit Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Term Loan Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Revolving Credit Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for 

all purposes (including in relation to the Term Loan Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Revolving Credit Obligations are subject to this Agreement.
(f)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Revolving Credit Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholders of payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Revolving Credit Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Revolving Credit Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholders of rights or remedies with respect to Term Loan Priority Collateral (including set-off) or enforcement of any Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral held by any of them.  Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Term Loan Collateral Agents or the Term Loan Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the Term Loan Documents, other than with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral solely to the extent expressly provided herein.
3.3.    [Omitted].
3.4.    [Omitted].
3.5.    Exercise of Remedies - Set Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds.
(a)    The Revolving Credit Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the Revolving Credit Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder exercises its rights of setoff against any Grantors’ Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts that contain identifiable Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral, a percentage of the amount of such setoff equal to the percentage that such Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral bear to the total amount on deposit in or credited to the balance of such Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts shall be deemed to constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral, which amount shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.3; provided, however that the foregoing shall not apply to any setoff by the Revolving Credit Agent against any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts to the extent applied to the payment of Revolving Credit Obligations.
(b)    Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, also agrees that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, all funds deposited in an account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement or a Dominion Account that constitute ABL Priority Collateral and then applied to the Revolving Credit Obligations shall be treated as ABL Priority Collateral and, unless the Revolving Credit Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary, any claim that payments made to the Revolving Credit Agent through the Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts that are subject to such Deposit Account Control Agreements or Dominion Accounts, respectively, are Proceeds of or otherwise constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral are waived by the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Term Loan Claimholders; provided that after the issuance of an Enforcement Notice by the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent, all identifiable proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral shall be deemed Term Loan Priority Collateral, whether or not held in an account subject to a control agreement.
(c)    The Revolving Credit Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, further agree that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, any Proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited in an account subject to a deposit account control agreement or a securities account control agreement, shall not (as between the Collateral Agents, the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Term Loan Claimholders) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral.

Upon the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, the Revolving Credit Agent shall deliver to the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent any Collateral and Proceeds of Collateral held by it as a result of the exercise of remedies in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied by the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent to the Term Loan Obligations in such order as specified in Section 4.1(b).
(b)    So long as the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, all Term Loan Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies by any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder, shall be applied by the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent to the Term Loan Obligations in the order specified in the Term Loan Documents.

4.2.    Payments Over in Violation of Agreement.  So long as neither the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations nor the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof (including assets or Proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by any Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholders or Revolving Credit Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral or otherwise received in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the appropriate Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Term Loan Claimholders or the Revolving Credit Claimholders, as the case may be, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  Each Collateral Agent is hereby authorized by the other Collateral Agent to make any such endorsements as agent for the other Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholders or Revolving Credit Claimholders, as the case may be.  This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations and Discharge of Term Loan Obligations.
4.3.    Application of Payments.

To the extent that any interest, fees, expenses or other charges (including, without limitation, Post-Petition Interest) to be paid pursuant to the Revolving Credit Documents are disallowed by order of any court, including, without limitation, by order of a Bankruptcy Court in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, such interest, fees, expenses and charges (including, without limitation, Post-Petition Interest) shall, as between the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Term Loan Claimholders, be deemed to continue to accrue and be added to the amount to be calculated as the “Revolving Credit Obligations.”
(b)    To the extent any payment with respect to any Term Loan Obligation (whether by or on behalf of any Grantor, as Proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is avoided or otherwise declared to be a fraudulent conveyance or a preference in any respect, set aside or required to be paid to a debtor in possession, any Revolving Credit Claimholders, receiver or similar Person, whether in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, then the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, for the purposes of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

(a)    (i)    If in connection with the exercise of the Revolving Credit Agent’s remedies in respect of any Collateral as provided for in Section 3.1, the Revolving Credit Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the ABL Priority Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Term Loan Claimholders, on the ABL Priority Collateral sold or disposed of in connection with such exercise, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released.  Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Term Loan Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Revolving Credit Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Revolving Credit Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release.
(ii)    If in connection with the exercise of the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of any Collateral as provided for in Section 3.2, the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the Term Loan Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of 

the Term Loan Priority Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the Revolving Credit Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, on the Term Loan Priority Collateral sold or disposed of in connection with such exercise, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released.  The Revolving Credit Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Revolving Credit Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release.
(b)    If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (collectively, a “Disposition”) permitted under the terms of both the Revolving Credit Documents and the Term Loan Documents (other than in connection with the exercise of the respective Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral as provided for in Sections 3.1 and 3.2), (i) the Revolving Credit Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case other than (A) in connection with the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Term Loan Default, then the Liens, if any, of each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, on such Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and (ii) the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, in each case other than (A) in connection with the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations or (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Revolving Credit Default, then the Liens, if any, of the Revolving Credit Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders on such Collateral (or, if such Collateral includes the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary, the Liens on Collateral owned by such Subsidiary) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released.  The Revolving Credit Agent and each Term Loan Collateral Agent, each for itself and on behalf of any such Revolving Credit Claimholders or Term Loan Claimholders, as the case may be, promptly shall execute and deliver to the other Collateral Agents or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the other Collateral Agents or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release.
(c)    Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations and Discharge of Term Loan Obligations shall occur, the Revolving Credit Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, as the case may be, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the other Collateral Agents and any officer or agent of the other Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the other Collateral Agent or such holder or in the Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in such Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
(d)    Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations and Discharge of Term Loan Obligations shall occur, to the extent that the Collateral Agents or the Revolving Credit Claimholders or the Term Loan Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral and such Lien is later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new Liens from any Grantor, then each other Collateral Agent, for itself and for the Revolving Credit Claimholders or applicable Term Loan Claimholders, as the case may be, shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the lien priority provisions of this Agreement and subject to Section 2.5 of this Agreement.

5.2.    Insurance.
(a)    Unless and until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the Revolving Credit Documents, each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders agrees, that (i) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Credit Documents, the Revolving Credit Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting such Collateral; (ii) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Credit Documents, all Proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect of such Collateral and to the extent required by the Revolving Credit Documents shall be paid to the Revolving Credit Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no Revolving Credit Obligations are outstanding, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Term Loan Documents, to the Term Loan Collateral Agents for the benefit of the Term Loan Claimholders to the extent required under the Term Loan Collateral Documents, and then to the extent no Term Loan Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and (iii) if any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such Proceeds over to the Revolving Credit Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.
(b)    Unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the Term Loan Documents, the Revolving Credit Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that (i) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Credit Documents, the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Term Loan Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting such Collateral; (ii) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Credit Documents, all Proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect of such Collateral and to the extent required by the Term Loan Documents shall be paid to the Term Loan Collateral Agents for the benefit of the Term Loan Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Documents and thereafter, to the extent no Term Loan Obligations are outstanding, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Revolving Credit Documents, to the Revolving Credit Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders to the extent required under the Revolving Credit Collateral Documents and then, to the extent no Revolving Credit Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and (iii) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Credit Documents, if the Revolving Credit Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such Proceeds over to the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.
(c)    To effectuate the foregoing, the Collateral Agents shall each receive separate lender’s loss payable endorsements naming themselves as loss payee and additional insured, as their interests may appear, with respect to policies which insure Collateral hereunder.  To the extent any Proceeds are received for business interruption or for any liability or indemnification and those Proceeds are not 

compensation for a casualty loss with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, such Proceeds shall first be applied to repay the Revolving Credit Obligations (to the extent required pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement) and then be applied, to the extent required by the Term Loan Documents, to the Term Loan Obligations.
5.3.    Amendments to Revolving Credit Documents and Term Loan Documents; Refinancing.
(a)    The Term Loan Documents may be amended, amended and restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the Term Loan Obligations may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of the Revolving Credit Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders, all without affecting the lien priorities or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such Refinancing shall comply with Section 5.5 and shall not contravene any provision of this Agreement.
(b)    The Revolving Credit Documents may be amended, amended and restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the Revolving Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders, all without affecting the lien priorities or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such Refinancing shall comply with Section 5.5 and shall not contravene any provision of this Agreement.
(c)    On or after any Refinancing, and the receipt of notice thereof, which notice shall include the identity of an new or replacement Collateral Agent or other agent serving the same or similar function, each existing Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as any Grantor or such new or replacement Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to such new or replacement Collateral Agent the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that the execution and delivery of any such documents shall not be required for the effectiveness of any Joinder Agreement pursuant to which such new or replacement Collateral Agent or such other agent becomes a party hereto).
(d)    The Revolving Credit Agent and each Term Loan Collateral Agent shall each use good faith efforts to notify the other parties hereto of any written amendment or modification to any Revolving Credit Document or any Term Loan Document, as applicable, but the failure to do so shall not create a cause of action against the party failing to give such notice or create any claim or right on behalf of any third party.
5.4.    Bailees for Perfection.
(a)    Except as provided in Section 2.5, each Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such Collateral, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock, being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the Revolving Credit Claimholders or the Term Loan Claimholders, as the case may be, and as bailee for the other Collateral Agents (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Revolving Credit Documents and the Term Loan Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent agrees to act as agent for the benefit and on behalf of the Term Loan Collateral Agents and Term Loan Claimholders under each control 

agreement (including any such control agreement in effect on the date hereof) entered into pursuant to the Revolving Documents, solely for the purposes of perfecting the Lien and security interest of each Term Loan Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders in all Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and commodity accounts subject to such control agreements.
(b)    The Revolving Credit Parties have granted to Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Revolving Credit Claimholders, a lien and security interest on, among other things, Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries organized in Italy and Mexico (the “Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock”).  To the extent that the lien and security interest in favor of Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Revolving Credit Claimholders, in the Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then the Term Loan Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as collateral agent for the Revolving Credit Claimholders and as bailee and custodian for the Revolver Credit Collateral Agent (such agency, bailment, or custody being intended, among other things, to satisfy any requirements under applicable law for the perfection of Revolving Credit Claimholders’ lien and security interest in the Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Revolving Credit Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4.    
(c)    The provisions set out in this Section 5.4(c) and Section 5.4(d) and (e)  shall be applicable solely with respect to the documents governed by the laws of Mexico that are now existing or entered into after the date hereof for the benefit of the Initial Term Loan Collateral Agent (the “Foreign Collateral Documents) that create (or purport to create) Liens on any Term Loan Priority Collateral to secure the Initial Term Loan Obligations and the Revolving Credit Obligations (collectively, the “Applicable Collateral”).  The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders hereby appoints Initial Term Loan Collateral Agent as its collateral agent solely for purposes of the Foreign Collat-eral Documents (in such capacity referred to herein as the “Foreign Collateral Agent”) and authorizes the Foreign Collateral Agent to enter into the Foreign Collateral Documents also as “collateral agent” of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders solely to hold the security interests granted thereunder in the Applicable Collateral on behalf of and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, pur-suant to the terms of the Foreign Collateral Documents and this Sec-tion 5.4. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Foreign Collateral Agent shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in this Agree-ment or in the Foreign Collateral Document and no other duties, obligations or re-sponsibilities shall be implied.  
(d)     The Foreign Collateral Agent shall act solely pursuant to the Term Loan Documents in connection with any actions pursuant to the Foreign Collateral Documents and shall not have any obligations to any Revolving Credit Claimholders to act pursuant to their instructions or pursuant to the Revolving Credit Documents, including after the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the indemnity and exculpatory provisions afforded to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent pursuant to the Revolving Credit Documents.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility or be liable for:
(1)    the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information supplied by the Foreign Collateral Agent from any other person in connection with the Foreign Collateral Documents or the transactions contemplated therein, or any oth-er agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, pursuant to or in connection with the Foreign Collateral Documents;

(2)    the legality, validity, effectiveness, perfection or failure to perfect, ade-quacy or enforceability of the Foreign Collateral Documents or the security pur-ported to be granted thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, pursuant to or in connection therewith; or
(3)    any losses to any person or any liability arising as a result of taking or re-fraining from taking any action in relation to the Foreign Collateral Documents or otherwise, whether in accordance with an instruction from the Term Loan Claimholders or other-wise.
(e)    The Initial Term Loan Collateral Agent can resign at any time from acting as a Foreign Collateral Agent by providing a 10-days prior notice to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Grantors, provided, that, the Initial Term Loan Collateral Agent shall not exercise such right to resign as Foreign Collateral Agent so long as Bank of America, N.A. is the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent.
(f)    Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and Term Loan Collateral Agents (including acting as Foreign Collateral Agent) shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Revolving Credit Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Term Loan Collateral Agents or the Term Loan Claimholders, nor shall Term Loan Collateral Agents have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against either of Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or Term Loan Collateral Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and Term Loan Collateral Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties.  Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and Term Loan Collateral Agents shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Collateral Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement.
(g)    No Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the other Collateral Agents, to any Revolving Credit Claimholder, or to any Term Loan Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral, Applicable Collateral or Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4.  The duties or responsibilities of the respective Collateral Agents under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral or Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock as bailee, custodian or agent in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering or cooperating with the other Collateral Agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral and Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock upon a Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, as provided in paragraph (i) below.
(h)    No Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall have by reason of the Revolving Credit Documents, the Term Loan Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Collateral Agent, or any Revolving Credit Claimholders or any Term Loan Claimholders.  Each of the Term Loan Collateral Agents, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, hereby waives and releases the Revolving Credit Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agent’s role under this Section 5.4 as gratuitous bailee, custodian, or agent with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral.  The Revolving Credit Agent, for itself and on behalf 

of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby waives and releases each Term Loan Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Foreign Collateral Agent) from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Term Loan Collateral Agents’ roles under this Section 5.4 as gratuitous bailee, custodian, or agent with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral.
(i)    Upon the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent under the debt facility which has been discharged shall deliver or cooperate with the other Collateral Agent to have the Grantors collaterally assign or pledge to the other Collateral Agent, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) or Applicable Collateral or Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock, together with any necessary endorsements and without recourse or warranty, first, to the other Collateral Agent (for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, to the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent) to the extent the other Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral or Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock).  Each Collateral Agent further agrees, to the extent that any other Obligations (other than applicable Contingent Obligations) remain outstanding, to take all other commercially reasonable action as shall be reasonably requested by the other Collateral Agent, at the sole cost and expense of the Credit Parties, to permit such other Collateral Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders or Term Loan Claimholders, as applicable, a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(j)    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (i) so long as the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has not occurred, the Revolving Credit Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or other Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Revolving Credit Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes ABL Priority Collateral, as if the Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agents and Term Loan Claimholders did not exist and (ii) so long as the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has not occurred, the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral, Applicable Collateral, Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock, or other Collateral within its “control” (including, without limitation, any Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiaries) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Term Loan Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes Term Loan Priority Collateral, as if the Liens of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and Revolving Credit Claimholders did not exist.  In furtherance of the foregoing, promptly following the (x) Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, unless a New Debt Notice in respect of new Revolving Credit Documents shall have been delivered as provided in Section 5.5 below, the Revolving Credit Agent hereby agrees to cooperate with each Term Loan Collateral Agent, at the cost and expense of the Credit Parties, in order to have each deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement, as applicable, assigned to the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent, unless the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred (as certified to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent by the Borrowers), in which case, such deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement, as the case may be, shall be terminated and (y) Discharge of the Term Loan Obligations, unless a New Debt Notice in respect of new Term Loan Obligations shall have been delivered as provide in Section 5.5 below, the Term Loan Agent agrees to cooperate with Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, at the cost and expenses of the Credit Parties, in order to have any Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock collateral assigned or pledged to Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, unless a Discharge of the Revolver Credit Obligations has occurred, in which case, Term Loan Collateral Agent’s and the Term Loan Claimholders’ Lien in such Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock shall be terminated. 
(k)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(1)    each of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that any requirement under any Revolving Credit Collateral Document that any Grantor deliver any Collateral that constitutes Term Loan Priority Collateral to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, or that requires any Grantor to vest the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent with possession or “control” (as defined in the UCC) of any Collateral that constitutes Term Loan Priority Collateral, in each case, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that, prior to the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations), such Collateral is delivered to the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agents, or the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agents shall have been vested with such possession or (unless, pursuant to the UCC, control may be given concurrently to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent) “control,” in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4; and
(2)    each of the Term Loan Collateral Agents, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that any requirement under any Term Loan Collateral Document that any Grantor deliver any Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral to such Term Loan Collateral Agent, or that requires any Grantor to vest such Term Loan Collateral Agent with possession or “control” (as defined in the UCC) of any Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral, in each case, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that, prior to the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations), such Collateral is delivered to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, or the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall have been vested with such possession or (unless, pursuant to the UCC, control may be given concurrently to the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent) “control,” in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4.
5.5.    When Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations and Discharge of Term Loan Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred.  If in connection with the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, any Borrower substantially concurrently or subsequently enters into any Refinancing of any Revolving Credit Obligation or Term Loan Obligation as the case may be, which Refinancing is permitted by both the Term Loan Documents and the Revolving Credit Documents, in each case, to the extent such documents will remain in effect following such Refinancing, then such Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken pursuant to this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of such Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, as applicable) and, from and after the date on which the New Debt Notice is delivered to the appropriate Collateral Agents in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing (the “Refinanced Obligations”) shall automatically be treated as Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or Term Loan Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under such new Revolving Credit Documents or new Term Loan Documents shall be the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or a Term Loan Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement.  Upon receipt of a notice (the “New Debt Notice”) stating that a Borrower has entered into new Revolving Credit Documents or new Term Loan Documents (which notice shall include a complete copy of the relevant new documents (excluding any confidential fee letter) and provide the identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the other Collateral Agents shall deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral and Italian and Mexican Foreign Stock (that is Term Loan Priority Collateral, in the case of a New Agent that is the agent under any new Term Loan Documents or that is ABL Priority Collateral, in the case of a New Agent that is the agent under any new Revolving Credit Documents) held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral).  The New Agent shall become 

a party to this agreement by executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement in compliance with Section 5.7.  Subject to Section 2.5, if the new Revolving Credit Obligations under the new Revolving Credit Documents or the new Term Loan Obligations under the new Term Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the other Obligations, then the other Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Revolving Credit Documents, Term Loan Collateral Documents and this Agreement.
5.6.    [Reserved.]
5.7.    Additional Term Loan Debt and Refinanced Obligations.  The Lead Borrowers and the other applicable Grantors will be permitted to designate (i) as an additional holder of Term Loan Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes or who is to become, the registered holder of any Additional Term Loan Debt incurred by the Lead Borrowers or such Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all then-existing Secured Revolver/Term Loan Documents, and (ii) as a holder of Refinanced Obligations hereunder, each Person who is, or becomes or who is to become, the registered holder of Refinanced Obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 5.5.  Upon the issuance or incurrence of any such Additional Term Loan Debt or such Refinanced Obligations, as the case may be:
(a)    the Lead Borrowers shall deliver to the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that the Lead Borrowers or such Grantor has entered into, or intends to enter into, an Additional Term Loan Instrument or (ii) incur Refinanced Obligations, as applicable, and certifying (x) in the case of any Additional Term Loan Instrument, that the issuance or incurrence of Additional Term Loan Debt under such Additional Term Loan Instrument is permitted by each then-existing Secured Revolver/Term Loan Documents, or (y) in the case of any Refinanced Obligations, the issuance or incurrence thereof is in accordance with Section 5.5; 
(b)    the Additional Term Loan Priority Collateral for such Additional Term Loan Debt or the New Agent for such Refinanced Obligations, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agents a Joinder Agreement; and
(c)    in the case of any Additional Term Loan Debt, the Term Loan Collateral Documents in respect of such Additional Term Loan Debt shall be subject to, and shall comply with, Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this Agreement.
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), the Additional Term Loan Collateral Agent for such Additional Term Loan Debt or the New Agent for such Refinanced Obligations, as applicable, shall be a Collateral Agent hereunder and the respective obligations will be Additional Term Loan Obligations or Refinanced Obligations, as applicable, without further act on the part of any Person.
Each existing Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Lead Borrowers or the Additional Term Loan Collateral Agent for such Additional Term Loan Debt or the New Agent for such Refinanced Obligations, as applicable, may reasonably request, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow Parent or any other Grantor to incur additional indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each applicable Credit Document.

		
	SECTION 6.   
	Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1.    Finance Issues.
(a)    Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting ABL Priority Collateral on which the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing to be secured at least in part by the ABL Priority Collateral, whether from the Revolving Credit Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) then each Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing meets the following requirements: (i) the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Term Loan Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests in the Term Loan Priority Collateral, and (ii) the terms of the DIP Financing (A) do not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order and (B) do not require that any Lien of the Term Loan Collateral Agents on the Term Loan Priority Collateral be subordinated to or pari passu with any Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing.  To the extent the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) through (ii) above, each Term Loan Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to (1) the Liens thereon securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), (2) all adequate protection Liens thereon granted to the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and (3) to any “carve out” therefrom for professional and United States Trustee fees that has been agreed to by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3).
(b)    Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral on which the Term Loan Collateral Agents or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing to be secured at least in part by the Term Loan Priority Collateral, whether from the Term Loan Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“Term Loan DIP Financing”) then the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or Term Loan DIP Financing so long as such Cash Collateral use or Term Loan DIP Financing meets the following requirements:  (i) the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the Term Loan DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests in the Revolving Credit Collateral, and (ii) the terms of the Term Loan DIP Financing (A) do not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the Term Loan DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order and (B) do not require that any Lien of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral be subordinated to or pari passu with any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing such Term Loan DIP Financing.  To the extent the Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such Term Loan DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) through (ii) above, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Term Loan Priority Collateral to (1) the Liens thereon securing such Term Loan 

DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), (2) all adequate protection Liens thereon granted to the Term Loan Claimholders, and (3) to any “carve out” therefrom for professional and United States Trustee fees that has been agreed to by the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent,  and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3).
6.2.    Relief from the Automatic Stay.
(a)    Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, each Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent.
(b)    Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral without the prior written consent of the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent.
6.3.    Adequate Protection.
(a)    Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):
(1)    any request by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that (A) such adequate protection claim shall not seek the creation of any Lien over additional assets or property of any Grantor other than with respect to assets or property that constitute Revolving Credit Collateral and (B) if such additional assets or property shall also constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral, (i) a Lien shall have been created in favor of the Term Loan Claimholders in respect of such Collateral and (ii) the Lien in favor of the Revolving Credit Claimholders on such Term Loan Priority Collateral shall be subordinated to the extent set forth in this Agreement; or
(2)    any objection by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that if the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral, the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Term Loan Claimholders may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral; it being understood and agreed that (1) if such additional or replacement collateral shall also constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that constitutes Term Loan Priority Collateral in favor of or providing adequate protection for the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall be subordinate to the Lien on such Term Loan Priority Collateral in favor of or providing adequate protection for the Term Loan Collateral Agents and (2) if such additional or replacement collateral shall also constitute ABL Priority Collateral, the Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral in favor of or providing adequate protection for the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall be senior to the Lien on such ABL Priority Collateral in favor of or providing adequate 

protection for the Term Loan Collateral Agents, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), to the extent required by this Agreement.
(b)    The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(2)    any objection by the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral; provided that if the Term Loan Collateral Agents are granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders may seek or request adequate protection in the form of Lien on such additional or replacement collateral; it being understood and agreed that (1) if such additional or replacement collateral shall also constitute ABL Priority Collateral, the Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral in favor of or providing adequate protection for the Term Loan Collateral Agents shall be subordinate to the Lien on such ABL Priority Collateral in favor of and providing adequate protection for the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and (2) if such additional or replacement collateral shall also constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that constitutes Term Loan Priority Collateral in favor of or providing adequate protection for the Term Loan Collateral Agents shall be senior to the Lien on such Term Loan Priority Collateral in favor of or providing adequate protection for the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), to the extent required by this Agreement.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:
(1)    if the Revolving Credit Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in the form of additional or replacement collateral of the Credit Parties (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted ABL Priority Collateral) in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing or Term Loan DIP Financing, then the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Loan Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional or replacement collateral, which Lien on any assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral will be subordinated to the Liens securing or providing adequate protection for the Revolving Credit Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agents on ABL Priority Collateral;
(2)    if the Term Loan Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral in the form of additional or replacement collateral of the Credit Parties (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have 

constituted Term Loan Priority Collateral) in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing or Term Loan DIP Financing, then the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional or replacement collateral, which Lien on any assets that constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral will be subordinated to the Liens securing or providing adequate protection for the Term Loan Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent on Term Loan Priority Collateral;
(3)    in the event the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of ABL Priority Collateral and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or replacement collateral of the Credit Parties (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted ABL Priority Collateral), then the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that the Term Loan Collateral Agents may also be granted a Lien on the same additional or replacement collateral as adequate protection for the Term Loan Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing or Term Loan DIP Financing provided by the Term Loan Claimholders, and each Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Term Loan Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Revolving Credit Obligations in connection with any such use of Cash Collateral or any such DIP Financing or Term Loan DIP Financing provided by the Term Loan Claimholders (and all Obligations relating thereto), all on the same basis as the other Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agents on ABL Priority Collateral; and
(4)    in the event any Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Loan Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Term Loan Priority Collateral and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or replacement collateral of the Credit Parties (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Term Loan Priority Collateral), then each Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent may also be granted a Lien on the same additional or replacement collateral as adequate protection for the Revolving Credit Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing or Term Loan DIP Financing provided by the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that constitutes Term Loan Priority Collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Revolving Credit Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Term Loan Obligations in connection with any such use of cash Collateral or any such DIP Financing or Term Loan DIP Financing provided by the Revolving Credit Claimholders (and all Obligations relating thereto), all on the same basis as the other Liens of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent on Term Loan Priority Collateral.
(d)    Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 6 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to (i) the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Term Loan Collateral Agents or the Term Loan Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Term Loan Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, administrative claims or otherwise (other than from the proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral)) or (ii) the Term Loan Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving 

Credit Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, administrative claims or otherwise (other than from the proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral)).
6.4.    Avoidance Issues.  If any Revolving Credit Claimholder or Term Loan Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the applicable Grantor any amount paid in respect of Revolving Credit Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be (a “Recovery”), then such Revolving Credit Claimholders or Term Loan Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Revolving Credit Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, with respect to all such recovered amounts.  If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.
6.5.    Post-Petition Interest.
(a)    No Term Loan Collateral Agent nor any Term Loan Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Revolving Credit Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest, to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any Revolving Credit Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Term Loan Collateral Agent on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders on the Collateral.
(b)    Neither the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent nor any other Revolving Credit Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest, to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any Term Loan Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders on the Collateral.
6.6.    Waivers - 506(c) and 1111(b)(2) Issues.
(a)    Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Revolving Credit Claimholder arising out of the election of any Revolving Credit Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
(b)    The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Term Loan Claimholder arising out of the election of any Term Loan Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Term Loan Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
(c)    Until the Discharge of the Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.  Until the Discharge 

of the Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Credit Claimholders, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.
6.7.    Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.
(a)    Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the grants of Liens pursuant to the Revolving Credit Collateral Documents and the Term Loan Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Term Loan Obligations are fundamentally different from the Revolving Credit Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, each for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, each agrees that the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Claimholders will vote as separate classes in connection with any plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and that no Collateral Agent nor any Claimholder will seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
(b)    To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this Section 6.7, if it is held that the claims of the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Claimholders in respect of the Term Loan Facility Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims subject to the relative Lien priorities set forth herein with respect to such Term Loan Facility Collateral), then each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Term Loan Facility Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Term Loan Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Revolving Credit Claimholders), the Term Loan Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, expenses and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Term Loan Documents, arising from or related to a default, whether or not a claim therefor is allowed or allowable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made from the Term Loan Priority Collateral in respect of the claims held by the Revolving Credit Claimholders, with the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Non-Controlling Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Term Loan Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Revolving Credit Claimholders.
(c)    To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this Section 6.7, if it is held that the claims of the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Claimholders in respect of the Revolving Credit Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims 

subject to the relative Lien priorities set forth herein with respect to such Revolving Credit Collateral), then each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Revolving Credit Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Term Loan Claimholders), the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, expenses and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, whether or not a claim therefor is allowed or allowable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made from the ABL Priority Collateral in respect of the claims held by the Term Loan Claimholders, with each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the ABL Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Term Loan Claimholders.
(d)    Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Claimholders, and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that no Revolving Credit Claimholder nor any Term Loan Claimholder (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote for, or otherwise support directly or indirectly any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement.
(e)    If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving a Grantor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed or reinstated (in whole or in part) pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of the Revolving Credit Obligations and on account of the Term Loan Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Revolving Credit Obligations and on account of the Term Loan Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
6.8.    Enforceability and Continuing Priority.  This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof.  The relative rights of Claimholders in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.1 hereof) are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
6.9.    Sales.  Subject to Sections 3.1(c)(5) and 3.2(c)(5), each Collateral Agent agrees that it will consent, and will not object or oppose, or support any party in opposing, a motion to dispose of any Priority Collateral of the other party free and clear of any Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law if the requisite Revolving Credit Claimholders under the Revolving Credit Agreement or Term Loan Claimholders under the applicable Term Loan Documents, as the case may be, have consented to such disposition of their respective Priority Collateral, such motion does not impair, subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement, the rights of such party 

under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (so long as the right of any Term Loan Claimholder to offset its claim against the purchase price for any ABL Priority Collateral exists only after the Revolving Credit Obligations have been paid in full in cash, and so long as the right of any Revolving Credit Claimholder to offset its claim against the purchase price for any Term Loan Priority Collateral exists only after the Term Loan Obligations have been paid in full in cash), and the terms of any proposed order approving such transaction provide for the respective Liens to attach to the proceeds of the Priority Collateral that is the subject of such disposition, subject to the Lien priorities in Section 2.1 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Each Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent further agrees that it will not oppose, or support any party in opposing, the right of the other party to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to its respective Priority Collateral, subject to the provision of the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the Priority Collateral or the other party.

Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall have no duty to any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the Term Loan Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Grantor (including the Revolving Credit Documents and the Term Loan Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

EXHIBIT 10.1
 
Employment Agreement
 
This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of February 13, 2017 by and between Scientific Games Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Karin-Joyce Tjon Sien Fat (“Executive”).
 
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive wish to enter into this Agreement;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual benefits to be derived herefrom and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Company and Executive, the parties agree as follows.
 
1.                   Employment; Term.  The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment with the Company, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  This term of employment of Executive under this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be the period commencing on February 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on December 31, 2019, as may be extended in accordance with this Section 1 and subject to earlier termination in accordance with Section 4.  The Term shall be extended automatically without further action by either party by one (1) additional year (added to the end of the Term), and then on each succeeding annual anniversary thereafter, unless either party shall have given written notice to the other party prior to the date which is sixty (60) days prior to the date upon which such extension would otherwise have become effective electing not to further extend the Term, in which case Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date upon which such extension would otherwise have become effective, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 4.  A notice of non-renewal of the Term by the Company pursuant to this Section 1 shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause by the Company for purposes of this Agreement as of the end of the then Term. 
 
2.                   Position and Duties.  During the Term, Executive will serve as President & Chief Operating Officer of the Company and in any other officer or director position with the Company or with any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company if elected or appointed to such positions, as applicable, during the Term.  In such capacities, Executive shall perform such duties and shall have such responsibilities as are normally associated with chief operating officer, and as otherwise may be assigned to Executive from time to time by the Company’s President & Chief Executive Officer. Subject to Section 4(e), Executive’s functions, duties and responsibilities are subject to reasonable changes as the Company may in good faith determine from time to time.  Executive hereby agrees to accept such employment and to serve the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to the best of Executive’s ability in such capacities, devoting all of Executive’s business time to such employment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term, Executive may with prior written consent of the President & Chief Executive Officer (which may be granted or denied in the President & Chief Executive Officer’s sole discretion), serve as a member of the board of directors of up to one for-profit or not-for-profit entity, so long as such activity does not materially interfere or conflict with Executive’s duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. 
 
3.                   Compensation.
 
(a)                                 Base Salary.  During the Term, Executive will receive a base salary of seven hundred and fifty thousand U.S. dollars (US$750,000) per annum (pro-rated for any partial year), payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and subject to such deductions or amounts to be withheld as required by applicable law and regulations or as may be agreed to by Executive.  In the event that the Company, in its sole discretion, from time to time determines to increase Executive’s base salary, such increased amount shall, from and after the effective date of such increase, constitute the “base salary” of Executive for purposes of this Agreement.
 
(b)                                 Incentive Compensation.  Executive shall have the opportunity annually to earn incentive compensation (“Incentive Compensation”) in amounts determined by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in its sole discretion in accordance with the applicable incentive compensation plan of the Company as in effect from time to time (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”).  Under such Incentive Compensation Plan, Executive shall have the opportunity annually to earn up to 75% of Executive’s base salary as Incentive Compensation at “target opportunity” (“Target Bonus”) and up to 200% of Executive’s target bonus opportunity as Incentive Compensation at “maximum opportunity” on the terms and subject to the conditions of such Incentive Compensation Plan (any such Incentive Compensation to be subject to such deductions or amounts to be withheld as required by applicable law and regulations or as may be agreed to by Executive).  Incentive Compensation for 2017 will be pro-rated based on the number of days Executive was employed by Company in 2017.  Executive shall be entitled to guaranteed minimum Incentive Compensation equal to two hundred eighty one thousand and two hundred and fifty U.S. dollars ($281,250) for the 2017 performance period, to be paid on the same date as Incentive Compensation is paid to other senior executives of the Company.
 
(c)           Eligibility for Annual Equity Awards.  During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual grant of stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards with a grant date fair value equal to approximately 125% of Executive’s base salary, as measured in accordance with the Company’s standard practices of measuring equity value, and in accordance with the applicable plans and programs of the Company for senior executives of the Company and subject to the Company’s right to at any time amend or terminate any such plan or program, so long as any such change does not adversely affect any accrued or vested interest of Executive under any such plan or program.
                 
(d)                                 Expense Reimbursement.  Subject to Section 3(g), the Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary travel, business entertainment and other business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, on a timely basis upon timely submission by Executive of vouchers therefor in accordance with the Company’s standard policies and procedures.
 
(e)                                  Health and Welfare Benefits.  Executive shall be entitled to participate, without discrimination or duplication, in any and all medical insurance, group health, disability, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, 401(k) or other retirement, deferred compensation, stock ownership and such other plans and programs which are made generally available by the Company to senior executives of the Company in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs and subject to the right of the Company (or its applicable affiliate) to at any time amend or terminate any such plan or program.  Executive shall be entitled to paid time off and holidays and any other time off in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time.
 
(f)                                   Sign-On Award.  In connection with Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Company will grant to Executive an inducement award within ten (10) days after the Effective Date comprised of 100,000 restricted stock units (the “Sign-On Award”), pursuant to an equity award agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to be entered into by and between the Company and Executive (the “Sign-On Award Agreement”).  The Sign-On Award will be granted as an employment inducement award pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).  
 
(g)                                  Taxes and Internal Revenue Code 409A.  Payment of all compensation and benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to all legally required and customary withholdings.  The Company makes no representations or warranties and shall have no responsibility regarding the tax implications of the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive under this Agreement, including under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and applicable administrative guidance and regulations (“Section 409A”).  Section 409A governs plans and arrangements that provide “nonqualified deferred compensation” (as defined under the Code) which may include, among others, nonqualified retirement plans, bonus plans, stock option plans, employment agreements and severance agreements.  The Company reserves the right to pay compensation and provide benefits under this Agreement (including under Section 3 and Section 4) in amounts, at times and in a manner that minimizes taxes, interest or penalties as a result of Section 409A.  In addition, in the event any benefits or amounts paid to Executive hereunder are deemed to be subject to Section 409A, Executive consents to the Company adopting such conforming amendments as the Company deems necessary, in its reasonable discretion, to comply with Section 409A (including delaying payment until six (6) months following termination of employment).  To the extent any payments of money or other benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or other benefits may be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payments or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent permissible under Section 409A, in a manner determined by the Company that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax.  To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to Executive under this Agreement constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A, 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).  Each payment made under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of Section 409A.

(h)    Relocation.  Executive shall promptly relocate to, and shall be based in, Las Vegas, Nevada at the Company’s headquarters.  Executive will be reimbursed for reasonable relocation expenses in accordance with Company policies in connection with moving her primary residence from Kansas City, Missouri to the Las Vegas area, including providing temporary furnished corporate housing for up to six months from the Effective Date.
 
4.                                      Termination of Employment.  Executive’s employment may be terminated at any time prior to the end of the Term under the terms described in this Section 4, and the Term shall automatically terminate upon any termination of Executive’s employment.  For purposes of clarification, except as provided in Sections 4(e)(v), 4(f), and 5.6, all stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards will be governed by the terms of the plans, grant agreements and programs under which such options, restricted stock units or other awards were granted on any termination of the Term and Executive’s employment with the Company.
 
(a)                                 Termination by Executive for Other than Good Reason.  Executive may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason or no reason upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company referring to this Section 4(a); provided, however, that a termination by Executive for “Good Reason” (as defined below) shall not constitute a termination by Executive for other than Good Reason pursuant to this Section 4(a).  In the event Executive terminates Executive’s employment for other than Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled only to the following compensation and benefits (the payments set forth in Sections 4(a)(i) — 4(a)(iii), collectively, the “Standard Termination Payments”):
 
(i)                           any accrued but unpaid base salary for services rendered by Executive to the date of such termination, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and subject to such deductions or amounts to be withheld as required by applicable law and regulations or as may be agreed to by Executive;
 
(ii)                        any vested non-forfeitable amounts owing or accrued at the date of such termination under benefit plans, programs and arrangements set forth or referred to in Section 3(e) in which Executive participated during the Term (which will be paid under the terms and conditions of such plans, programs, and arrangements (and agreements and documents thereunder)); and
 
(iii)                     reasonable business expenses and disbursements incurred by Executive prior to such termination will be reimbursed in accordance with Section 3(d).
 
(b)                                 Termination By Reason of Death.  If Executive dies during the Term, the last beneficiary designated by Executive by written notice to the Company (or, in the absence of such designation, Executive’s estate) shall be entitled only to the Standard Termination Payments, including any benefits that may be payable under any life insurance benefit of Executive for which the Company pays premiums, in accordance with the terms of any such benefit and subject to the right of the Company (or its applicable affiliate) to at any time amend or terminate any such benefit.
 
(c)                                  Termination By Reason of Total Disability.  The Company may terminate Executive’s employment in the event of Executive’s “Total Disability.”  For purposes of this Agreement, “Total Disability” shall mean Executive’s (1) becoming eligible to receive benefits under any long-term disability insurance program of the Company or (2) failure to perform the duties and responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement for a period of more than 180 days during any consecutive 12-month period due to physical or mental incapacity or impairment.  In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company by reason of Total Disability, Executive shall be entitled only to the Standard Termination Payments and any amounts due under any Company disability policy.
 
(d)                                 Termination by the Company for Cause.  The Company may terminate the employment of Executive at any time for “Cause.”  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) gross neglect by Executive of Executive’s duties hereunder; (ii) Executive’s indictment for or conviction of a felony, or any non-felony crime or offense involving the property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or evidencing moral turpitude; (iii) willful misconduct by Executive in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder; (iv) intentional breach by Executive of any material provision of this Agreement; (v) material violation by Executive of a material provision of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct; or (vi) any other willful or grossly negligent conduct of Executive that would make the continued employment of Executive by the Company materially prejudicial to the best interests of the Company.  In the event Executive’s employment is terminated for “Cause,” Executive shall not be entitled to receive any compensation or benefits under this Agreement except for the Standard Termination Payments.
 
(e)                                  Termination by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason.  The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time without Cause, for any reason or no reason, and Executive may terminate Executive’s employment for “Good Reason.”  For purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” shall mean that, without Executive’s prior written consent, any of the following shall have occurred:  (A) a material adverse change to Executive’s positions, titles, offices, or duties following the Effective Date from those set forth in Section 2, except, in such case, in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment for Cause or due to Total Disability, death or expiration of the Term; provided, however, that a Good Reason event shall not be deemed to have occurred, if the Company ceases to be a publicly-traded company, based on Executive’s duties changing from those of a public company chief operating officer to those of a private company chief operating officer; (B) a material decrease in base salary or material decrease in Executive’s Incentive Compensation opportunity provided under this Agreement; (C) a requirement that on a continuing basis Executive reports to anyone other than the President & Chief Executive Officer; or (D) any other material failure by the Company to perform any material obligation under, or material breach by the Company of any material provision of, this Agreement; provided, however, that a termination by Executive for Good Reason under any of clauses (A) through (D) of this Section 4(e) shall not be considered effective unless Executive shall have provided the Company with written notice of the specific reasons for such termination within thirty (30) days after she has knowledge of the event or circumstance constituting Good Reason and the Company shall have failed to cure the event or condition allegedly constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days after such notice has been given to the Company and Executive actually terminates her employment within one (1) year following the initial occurrence of the event giving rise to Good Reason.  In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 4(a), (b), (c) or (d) or due to a notice of non-renewal of the Term by the Executive pursuant to Section 1), the Company shall pay the following amounts, and make the following other benefits available, to Executive.
 
(i)                                     the Standard Termination Payments; and
 
(ii)                                  an amount equal to one times (1X) the sum of (A) Executive’s base salary and (B) an amount equal to the highest annual Incentive Compensation paid to Executive (if any) in respect of the two (2) most recent fiscal years of the Company but not more than Executive’s Target Bonus for the-then current fiscal year (provided if such termination occurs prior to the payment of the Incentive Compensation for fiscal year 2018, such amount shall be Executive’s Target Bonus for the-then current fiscal year) (such amount under this sub-clause (B), the “Severance Bonus Amount”), such amount under this clause (ii) payable over a period of twelve (12) months after such termination in accordance with Section 4(g); and
 
(iii)     in lieu of any Incentive Compensation for the year in which such termination occurs, payment of an amount equal to (A) the Incentive Compensation (if any) which would have been payable to Executive had Executive remained in employment with the Company during the entire year in which such termination occurred, multiplied by (B) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days Executive was employed in the year in which such termination occurs and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the year in which such termination occurs, payable when bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company, but no later than March 15 following the end of the year in which such termination occurs; and
 
(iv)                              if Executive elects to continue medical coverage under the Company’s group health plan in accordance with COBRA, an amount equal to the monthly premiums for such coverage less the amount of employee contributions for similarly-situated active employees of the Company, for a period of twelve (12) months; and

(v)    subject to Section 5.6 and except to the extent otherwise provided at the time of grant under the terms of any equity award made to Executive, full vesting of any unvested stock options and any unvested restricted stock units held by Executive immediately prior to such termination (provided that any such stock options (together with any other vested stock options) held by Executive will cease being exercisable upon the earlier of ninety (90) days after such termination and the scheduled expiration date of such stock options), and, in all other respects, all stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards held by Executive shall be governed by the plans and programs and the agreements and other documents pursuant to which the awards were granted; provided, however, that in the event such termination occurs prior to the Compensation Committee’s determination as to the satisfaction of any performance criteria to which any such stock options and/or restricted stock units is subject, such stock options and/or restricted stock units (as the case may be) will not vest (and, in the case of any such stock options, will not become exercisable) unless and until a determination is or has been made by the Compensation Committee that such criteria have been satisfied, at which time such stock options and/or restricted stock units will vest (and, in the case of any such stock options, will become exercisable) to the extent contemplated by the terms of such award (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that such stock options or restricted stock units will immediately be forfeited to the extent contemplated by the terms of such award in the event that such criteria are determined not to have been satisfied); provided, further, however, if necessary to comply with Section 409A, settlement of any such equity-based awards shall be made on the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day following expiration of the Term.
 
(f)                                   Termination by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason in connection with a Change in Control.  In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(e) and such termination occurs upon, or within one (1) year immediately following, a “Change in Control” (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled (without duplication) to the payments and benefits described in Section 4(e), except that, solely in the case of an amount otherwise payable under Section 4(e)(ii), such amount shall be multiplied by two (2) (i.e., an amount equal to two (2) multiplied by the sum of Executive’s base salary and the Severance Bonus Amount, without duplication) and such amount shall be payable over a period of twenty-four (24) months after termination in accordance with Section 4(g) of this Agreement; provided, however, to the extent that such amount under Section 4(e)(ii) is exempt from Section 409A and/or if such Change in Control constitutes a change in ownership, change in effective control or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), such amount otherwise payable under Section 4(e)(ii) shall be paid in a lump sum in accordance with Section 4(g) of this Agreement.
 
For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) any “person” as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, but excluding the Company and any subsidiary or affiliate and any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (including any trustee of such plan acting as trustee) or any current stockholder of 20% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company, directly or indirectly, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company representing at least 40% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities; (ii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or reorganization of the Company, or a reverse stock split of any class of voting securities of the Company, or the consummation of any such transaction if stockholder approval is not obtained, other than any such transaction that would result in at least 60% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction being beneficially owned by persons who together beneficially owned at least 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction; provided that, for purposes of this Section 4(f), such continuity of ownership (and preservation of relative voting power) shall be deemed to be satisfied if the failure to meet such 60% threshold is due solely to the acquisition of voting securities by an employee benefit plan of the Company or such surviving entity or of any subsidiary of the Company or such surviving entity; (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets (or any transaction having a similar effect); or (iv) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, together with any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board.
 
(g)                                  Timing of Certain Payments under Section 4.  For purposes of Section 409A, references herein to the Executive’s “termination of employment” shall refer to Executive’s separation of services with the Company within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h).  If at the time of Executive’s separation of service with the Company other than as a result of Executive’s death, (i) Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code), (ii) one or more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement would constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and (iii) the deferral of the commencement of any such payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such separation of service is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments shall be made as follows: (x) no payments for a six-month period following the date of Executive’s separation of service with the Company; (y) an amount equal to the aggregate sum that would have been otherwise payable during the initial six-month period paid in a lump sum on the first payroll date following six (6) months following the date of Executive’s separation of service with the Company (subject to such deductions or amounts to be withheld as required by applicable law and regulations); and (z) during the period beginning six (6) months following Executive’s separation of service with the Company through the remainder of the applicable period, payment of the remaining amount due in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices (subject to such deductions or amounts to be withheld as required by applicable law and regulations).
 
(h)                                 Mitigation.  In the event the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason and Executive is employed by or otherwise engaged to provide services to another person or entity at any time prior to the end of any period of payments to or on behalf of Executive contemplated by this Section 4, (i) Executive shall immediately advise the Company of such employment or engagement and her compensation therefor (including any health insurance benefits to which she is entitled in connection therewith), (ii) the Company’s obligation to make continued insurance payments to or on behalf of Executive shall be reduced by any insurance coverage obtained by Executive during the applicable period through such other employment or engagement (without regard to when such coverage is paid) and (iii) the Company’s obligation to make payments pursuant to Section 4(e)(ii) (or, as the case may be, its obligation pursuant to Section 4(f) to make payments equal to two (2) times the amount contemplated in Section 4(e)(ii)) shall be reduced by any base salary or fee arrangements or target annual bonus payable to Executive for the applicable period through such other employment or engagement in the same pay period as earned with target bonus allocated equally over the period and also including any up-front payments or deferred payments structured to avoid the obligations under this paragraph; provided, however, that in the event that any such amounts shall have been paid to Executive in a lump sum pursuant to Section 4(f), Executive shall promptly repay the Company the portion of such amounts which would not have been previously paid if the payment was structured in monthly installments as opposed to a lump sum.  Executive shall promptly notify the Company of her new compensation arrangement with the new entity and respond to reasonable inquiries.  Any amount improperly paid to Executive shall be promptly refunded to the Company.
 
(i)                                     Set-Off.  To the fullest extent permitted by law and provided an acceleration of income or the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A would not result, any amounts otherwise due to Executive hereunder (including any payments pursuant to this Section 4) shall be subject to set-off with respect to any amounts Executive otherwise owes the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof.
 
(j)                                    No Other Benefits or Compensation.  Except as may be specifically provided under this Agreement, under any other effective written agreement between Executive and the Company, or under the terms of any plan or policy applicable to Executive, Executive shall have no right to receive any other compensation from the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or to participate in any other plan, arrangement or benefit provided by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, with respect to any future period after such termination or resignation.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that she is entitled to no compensation or benefits from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates of any kind or nature whatsoever in respect of periods prior to the date of this Agreement.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that she shall not receive any fees or other compensation (including equity compensation) for service on the board of directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
 
(k)                                 Release of Employment Claims; Compliance with Section 5.  Executive agrees, as a condition to receipt of any termination payments and benefits provided for in this Section 4 (other than the Standard Termination Payments), that Executive will execute a general release agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, releasing any and all claims arising out of Executive’s employment and the termination of such employment.  Such release agreement will not impose upon Executive any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement or similar restrictive covenant not otherwise set forth herein or in any other agreement entered into by Executive prior to the date of the release, nor shall the release agreement impose upon Executive any post-termination restrictions or service requirements not otherwise set forth herein or in any other agreement entered into by Executive prior to the date of the release.  The Company shall provide Executive with the proposed form of general release agreement referred to in the immediately preceding sentence no later than seven (7) days following the date of termination.  Executive shall thereupon have 21 days or, if required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, 45 days, to consider such general release agreement and, if she executes such general release agreement, shall have seven (7) days after execution of such general release agreement to revoke such general release agreement.  Absent such revocation, such general release agreement shall become binding on Executive.  If Executive does not revoke such general release agreement, payments contingent on such general release agreement that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A (if any) shall be paid on the later of the 60th day after the date of termination or the date such payments are otherwise scheduled to be paid pursuant to this Agreement.  The Company’s obligation to make any termination payments and benefits provided for in this Section 4 (other than the Standard Termination Payments) shall immediately cease if Executive willfully or materially breaches Section 5.1, 5.2 , 5.3, 5.4, or 5.8.

(l)    Section 280G.  If the aggregate of all amounts and benefits due to the Executive under this Agreement or any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any of its affiliates, which, if received by the Executive in full, would constitute “parachute payments,” as such term is defined in and under Section 280G of the Code (collectively, “Change in Control Benefits”), reduced by all Federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, including the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, is less than the amount the Executive would receive, after all such applicable taxes, if the Executive received aggregate Change in Control Benefits equal to an amount which is $1.00 less than three (3) times the Executive's “base amount,” as defined in and determined under Section 280G of the Code, then such Change in Control Benefits shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent necessary so that the Change in Control Benefits received by the Executive will not constitute parachute payments. If a reduction in the Change in Control Benefits is necessary, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Executive elects in writing a different order, subject to the Company's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed): (i) severance payment based on multiple of base salary and/or Target Bonus; (ii) other cash payments; (iii) any pro-rated bonus paid as severance; (iv) acceleration of vesting of stock options with an exercise price that exceeds the then fair market value of stock subject to the option, provided such options are not permitted to be valued under Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c); (v) any equity awards accelerated or otherwise valued at full value, provided such equity awards are not permitted to be valued under Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c); (vi) acceleration of vesting of stock options with an exercise price that exceeds the then fair market value of stock subject to the option, provided such options are permitted to be valued under Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c); (vii) acceleration of vesting of all other stock options and equity awards; and (viii) within any category, reductions shall be from the last due payment to the first.

It is possible that after the determinations and selections made pursuant to the preceding paragraph that the Executive will receive Change in Control Benefits that are, in the aggregate, either more or less than the amounts contemplated by the preceding paragraph (hereafter referred to as an “Excess Payment” or “Underpayment,” respectively). If there is an Excess Payment, the Executive shall promptly repay the Company an amount consistent with this paragraph.  If there is an Underpayment, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount consistent with this paragraph.
 
5.                                      Noncompetition; Non-solicitation; Nondisclosure; etc.
 
5.1 Noncompetition; Non-solicitation.
 
(a)                                 Executive acknowledges the highly competitive nature of the Company’s business and that access to the Company’s confidential records and proprietary information renders Executive special and unique within the Company’s industries.  In consideration of the amounts that may hereafter be paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement (including Sections 3 and 4), Executive agrees that during the Term (including any extensions thereof) and during the Covered Time (as defined in Section 5.1(e)), Executive, alone or with others, will not, directly or indirectly, engage (as owner, investor, partner, stockholder, employer, employee, consultant, advisor, director or otherwise) in any Competing Business.  For purposes of this Section 5, “Competing Business” shall mean any business or operations: (i) (A) involving the design, development, manufacture, production, sale, lease, license, provision, operation or management (as the case may be) of (1) instant lottery tickets or games or any related marketing, warehouse, distribution, category management or other services or programs; (2) lottery-related terminals or vending machines (whether clerk-operated, self-service or otherwise), (3) gaming machines, terminals or devices (including video or reel spinning slot machines, video poker machines, video lottery terminals and fixed odds betting terminals), (4) lottery, video gaming (including server-based gaming), sports betting or other wagering or gaming systems, regardless of whether such systems are land-based, internet-based or mobile (including control and monitoring systems, local or wide-area progressive systems and redemption systems); (5) lottery-, real money gaming- or social gaming-related proprietary or licensed content (including themes, entertainment and brands), platforms, websites and loyalty and customer relationship management programs regardless of whether any of the foregoing are land-based, internet-based or mobile-based; (6) social casino games or websites or mobile phone or tablet applications (or similar known, or hereafter existing, technologies) featuring social casino games or any related marketing, distribution, or other services or programs; (7) interactive casino gaming products or services, including interactive casino-game themed games and platforms for websites or mobile phone or tablet applications (or similar known, or hereafter existing, technologies); (8) gaming utility products (including shufflers, card-reading shoes, deck checkers and roulette chip sorters), table games (including live, simulated, online, social gaming, interactive and electronic) and related products and services; (9) slot accounting, casino management, casino marketing, player tracking, lottery, video lottery, bingo or similar gaming- or casino-related systems and related peripheral hardware, software and services; (10) prepaid cellular or other phone cards; or (11) ancillary products (including equipment, hardware, software, marketing materials, chairs and signage) or services (including field service, maintenance and support) related to any of the foregoing under sub-clauses (1) through (10) above; or (B) in which the Company is then or was within the previous 12 months engaged, or in which the Company, to Executive’s knowledge, contemplates to engage in during the Term or the Covered Time; (ii) in which Executive was engaged or involved (whether in an executive or supervisory capacity or otherwise) on behalf of the Company or with respect to which Executive has obtained proprietary or confidential information; and (iii) which were conducted anywhere in the United States or in any other geographic area in which such business was conducted or contemplated to be conducted by the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the holding of up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding equity in a publicly traded entity for passive investment purposes shall not, in and of itself, be construed as engaging in a Competing Business.
 
(b)                                 In further consideration of the amounts that may hereafter be paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement (including Sections 3 and 4), Executive agrees that, during the Term (including any extensions thereof) and during the Covered Time, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:  (i) solicit or attempt to induce any of the employees, agents, consultants or representatives of the Company to terminate his, her, or its relationship with the Company; (ii) solicit or attempt to induce any of the employees, agents, consultants or representatives of the Company to become employees, agents, consultants or representatives of any other person or entity; (iii) solicit or attempt to induce any customer, vendor or distributor of the Company to curtail or cancel any business with the Company; or (iv) hire any person who, to Executive’s actual knowledge, is, or was within 180 days prior to such hiring, an employee of the Company.
 
(c)                                  During the Term (including any extensions thereof) and during the Covered Time, Executive agrees that upon the earlier of Executive’s (i) negotiating with any Competitor (as defined below) concerning the possible employment of Executive by the Competitor, (ii) responding to (other than for the purpose of declining) an offer of employment from a Competitor, or (iii) becoming employed by a Competitor, (A) Executive will provide copies of Section 5 of this Agreement to the Competitor, and (B) in the case of any circumstance described in (iii) above occurring during the Covered Time, and in the case of any circumstance described in (i) or (ii) above occurring during the Term or during the Covered Time, Executive will promptly provide notice to the Company of such circumstances.  Executive further agrees that the Company may provide notice to a Competitor of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitor” shall mean any person or entity (other than the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates) that engages, directly or indirectly, in the United States in any Competing Business.
 
(d)                                 Executive understands that the restrictions in this Section 5.1 may limit Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company but nevertheless agrees and acknowledges that the consideration provided under this Agreement (including Sections 3 and 4) is sufficient to justify such restrictions. In consideration thereof and in light of Executive’s education, skills and abilities, Executive agrees that Executive will not assert in any forum that such restrictions prevent Executive from earning a living or otherwise should be held void or unenforceable.
 
(e)                                  For purposes of this Section 5.1, “Covered Time” shall mean the period beginning on the date of termination of Executive’s employment (the “Date of Termination”) and ending twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination.

(f)    In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator(s), as the case may be, determine that the provisions of this Section 5.1 are unenforceable for any reason, the parties acknowledge and agree that the court or arbitrator(s) is expressly empowered to reform any provision of this Section so as to make them enforceable as described in Section 10 below.
 
5.2                               Proprietary Information; Inventions.
 
(a)                                 Executive acknowledges that, during the course of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive necessarily will have (and during any employment by, or affiliation with, the Company prior to the Term has had) access to and made use of proprietary information and confidential records of the Company.  Executive covenants that Executive shall not during the Term or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly, use for Executive’s own purpose or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company, nor otherwise disclose to any person or entity, any such proprietary information, unless and to the extent such disclosure has been authorized in writing by the Company or is otherwise required by law.  The term “proprietary information” means:  (i) the software products, programs, applications, and processes utilized by the Company; (ii) the name and/or address of any customer or vendor of the Company or any information concerning the transactions or relations of any customer or vendor of the Company with the Company; (iii) any information concerning any product, technology, or procedure employed by the Company but not generally known to its customers or vendors or competitors, or under development by or being tested by the Company but not at the time offered generally to customers or vendors; (iv) any information relating to the Company’s computer software, computer systems, pricing or marketing methods, sales margins, cost of goods, cost of material, capital structure, operating results, borrowing arrangements or business plans; (v) any information identified as confidential or proprietary in any line of business engaged in by the Company; (vi) any information that, to Executive’s actual knowledge, the Company ordinarily maintains as confidential or proprietary; (vii) any business plans, budgets, advertising or marketing plans; (viii) any information contained in any of the Company’s written or oral policies and procedures or manuals; (ix) any information belonging to customers, vendors or any other person or entity which the Company, to Executive’s actual knowledge, has agreed to hold in confidence; and (x) all written, graphic, electronic data and other material containing any of the foregoing.  Executive acknowledges that information that is not novel or copyrighted or patented may nonetheless be proprietary information.  The term “proprietary information” shall not include information generally known or available to the public, information that becomes available to Executive on an unrestricted, non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives (without breach of any obligation of confidentiality of which Executive has knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, at the time of the relevant disclosure to Executive), or general gaming industry information to the extent not particularly related or proprietary to the Company that was already known to Executive at the time Executive commences her employment with the Company that is not subject to nondisclosure by virtue of Executive’s prior employment or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 5.3, Executive may disclose or use proprietary information or confidential records solely to the extent (A) such disclosure or use may be required or appropriate in the performance of her duties as a director or employee of the Company, (B) required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order her to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information (provided that in such case Executive shall first give the Company prompt written notice of any such legal requirement, disclose no more information than is so required and cooperate fully with all efforts by the Company to obtain a protective order or similar confidentiality treatment for such information), (C) such information or records becomes generally known to the public without her violation of this Agreement, or (D) disclosed to Executive’s spouse, attorney and/or her personal tax and financial advisors to the extent reasonably necessary to advance Executive’s tax, financial and other personal planning (each an “Exempt Person”); provided, however, that any disclosure or use of any proprietary information or confidential records by an Exempt Person shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 by Executive.
 
(b)                                 Executive agrees that all processes, technologies and inventions (collectively, “Inventions”), including new contributions, improvements, ideas and discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived, developed, invented or made by Executive during the Term (and during any employment by, or affiliation with, the Company prior to the Term) shall belong to the Company, provided that such Inventions grew out of Executive’s work with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, are related in any manner to the business (commercial or experimental) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or are conceived or made on the Company’s time or with the use of the Company’s facilities or materials.  Executive shall further:  (i) promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company; (ii) assign to the Company, without additional compensation, all patent and other rights to such Inventions for the United States and foreign countries; (iii) sign all papers necessary to carry out the foregoing; and (iv) give testimony in support of Executive’s inventorship.  If any Invention is described in a patent application or is disclosed to third parties, directly or indirectly, by Executive within two (2) years after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, it is to be presumed that the Invention was conceived or made during the Term.  Executive agrees that Executive will not assert any rights to any Invention as having been made or acquired by Executive prior to the date of this Agreement, except for Inventions, if any, disclosed in Exhibit B to this Agreement.
 
5.3          Confidentiality and Surrender of Records.  

(a)    Executive shall not, during the Term or at any time thereafter (irrespective of the circumstances under which Executive’s employment by the Company terminates), except to the extent required by law, directly or indirectly publish, make known or in any fashion disclose any confidential records to, or permit any inspection or copying of confidential records by, any person or entity other than in the course of such person’s or entity’s employment or retention by the Company, nor shall Executive retain, and will deliver promptly to the Company, any of the same following termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason or upon request by the Company.  For purposes hereof, “confidential records” means those portions of correspondence, memoranda, files, manuals, books, lists, financial, operating or marketing records, magnetic tape, or electronic or other media or equipment of any kind in Executive’s possession or under Executive’s control or accessible to Executive which contain any proprietary information.  All confidential records shall be and remain the sole property of the Company during the Term and thereafter.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (i) prohibit Executive from making reports of possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions of and rules promulgated under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or of any other whistleblower protection provisions of state or federal law or regulation, or (ii) require notification or prior approval by the Company of any reporting described in clause (i). Executive understands that activities protected by Sections 5.2 and 5.3 may include disclosure of trade secret or confidential information within the limitations permitted by the Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”).  And, in this regard, Executive acknowledges notification that under the DTSA no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under Federal or State trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret (as defined in the Economic Espionage Act) that is: (A) made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or, (B) made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public. And, an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order.
 
5.4          Non-disparagement.  Executive shall not, during the Term and thereafter, disparage in any material respect the Company, any affiliate of the Company, any of their respective businesses, any of their respective officers, directors or employees, or the reputation of any of the foregoing persons or entities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.
 
5.5          No Other Obligations.  Executive represents that Executive is not precluded or limited in Executive’s ability to undertake or perform the duties described herein by any contract, agreement or restrictive covenant.  Executive covenants that Executive shall not employ the trade secrets or proprietary information of any other person in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company without such person’s authorization.
 
5.6          Forfeiture of Outstanding Equity Awards; “Clawback” Policies.  The provisions of Section 4 notwithstanding, if Executive willfully and materially fails to comply with Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, or 5.8, all options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards granted by the Company or any of its affiliates (whether prior to, contemporaneous with, or subsequent to the date hereof) and held by Executive or a transferee of Executive shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, plan or program, any incentive-based compensation or benefits contemplated under this Agreement (including Incentive Compensation and equity-based awards) shall be subject to recovery by the Company under any compensation recovery or “clawback” policy, generally applicable to senior executives of the Company, that the Company may adopt from time to time, including any policy which the Company may be required to adopt under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder or the requirements of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s common stock may be listed.
 
5.7          Enforcement.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of Executive’s position, services and access to and use of confidential records and proprietary information, any violation by Executive of any of the undertakings contained in this Section 5 would cause the Company immediate, substantial and irreparable injury for which it has no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, Executive agrees and consents to the entry of an injunction or other equitable relief by a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any violation or threatened violation of any undertaking contained in this Section 5.  Executive waives posting of any bond otherwise necessary to secure such injunction or other equitable relief.  Rights and remedies provided for in this Section 5 are cumulative and shall be in addition to rights and remedies otherwise available to the parties hereunder or under any other agreement or applicable law.
 
5.8          Cooperation with Regard to Litigation.  Executive agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Company, during the Term and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), by providing information to the Company regarding matters related to her term of employment and by being available to testify on behalf of the Company in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.  In addition, except to the extent that Executive has or intends to assert in good faith an interest or position adverse to or inconsistent with the interest or position of the Company, Executive agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Company, during the Term and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), to assist the Company in any such action, suit, or proceeding by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, in each case, as reasonably requested by the Company.  The Company agrees to pay (or reimburse, if already paid by Executive) all reasonable travel and communication expenses actually incurred in connection with Executive’s cooperation and assistance.
 
5.9          Survival.  The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination of the Term and any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
 
5.10        Company.  For purposes of this Section 5, references to the “Company” shall include the Company and each subsidiary and/or affiliate of the Company (and each of their respective joint ventures and equity method investees).
 
6.             Code of Conduct.  Executive acknowledges that she has read the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and agrees to abide by such Code of Business Conduct, as amended or supplemented from time to time, and other policies applicable to employees and executives of the Company.
 
7.             Indemnification.  The Company shall indemnify Executive to the full extent permitted under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws and pursuant to any other agreements or policies in effect from time to time in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which Executive may be made a party by reason of Executive being an officer, director or employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.  This provision shall survive termination of employment.
 
8.             Assignability; Binding Effect.  Neither this Agreement nor the rights or obligations hereunder of the parties shall be transferable or assignable by Executive, except in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution and as specified below.  The Company may assign this Agreement and the Company’s rights and obligations hereunder to any affiliate of the Company, provided that upon any such assignment the Company shall remain liable for the obligations to Executive hereunder.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Executive, Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, and beneficiaries, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.
 
9.             Complete Understanding; Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between the parties with respect to the employment of Executive and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no statement, representation, warranty or covenant has been made by either party with respect thereto except as expressly set forth herein.  Except as contemplated by Section 3(g), this Agreement shall not be modified, amended or terminated except by a written instrument signed by each of the parties.  Any waiver of any term or provision hereof, or of the application of any such term or provision to any circumstances, shall be in writing signed by the party charged with giving such waiver.  Waiver by either party of any breach hereunder by the other party shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach, whether similar to or different from the breach waived.  No delay by either party in the exercise of any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by either party of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof.
 
10.          Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances other than those to which it is so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If any provision of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the scope or duration of or the area covered by such provision, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall reduce the scope, duration and/or area of such provision (and shall substitute appropriate provisions for any such invalid or unenforceable provisions) in order to make such provision enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or shall delete specific words and phrases, and such modified provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.  The parties recognize that if, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants contained in this Agreement, then that invalid or unenforceable covenant contained in this Agreement shall be deemed eliminated from these provisions to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced.  In the event that any court determines that the time period or the area, or both, are unreasonable and that any of the covenants is to that extent invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that such covenants will remain in full force and effect, first, for the greatest time period, and second, in the greatest geographical area that would not render them unenforceable.
 
11.          Survivability.  The provisions of this Agreement which by their terms call for performance subsequent to termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, or of this Agreement, shall so survive such termination, whether or not such provisions expressly state that they shall so survive.
 
12.          Governing Law; Arbitration.
 
(a)           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to agreements made and to be wholly performed within that State, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
 
(b)           Arbitration.
 
(i)            Executive and the Company agree that, except for claims for workers’ compensation, unemployment compensation, and any other claim that is non-arbitrable under applicable law, final and binding arbitration shall be the exclusive forum for any dispute or controversy between them, including, without limitation, disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement, Executive’s employment, and/or termination of employment, with the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief in connection with any alleged actual or threatened violation of any provision of Section 5.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award in any court having jurisdiction.  For purposes of entering such judgment or seeking injunctive relief with regard to Section 5, the Company and Executive hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Las Vegas, Nevada; provided that damages for any alleged violation of Section 5, as well as any claim, counterclaim or cross-claim brought by Executive or any third-party in response to, or in connection with any court action commenced by the Company seeking said injunctive relief shall remain exclusively subject to final and binding arbitration as provided for herein.  The Company and Executive hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which either may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction, venue and any defense of inconvenient forum.  Thus, except for the claims carved out above, this Agreement includes all common-law and statutory claims (whether arising under federal state or local law), including any claim for breach of contract, fraud, fraud in the inducement, unpaid wages, wrongful termination, and gender, age, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or any other  protected status.
 
Any arbitration under this Agreement shall be filed exclusively with, and administered by, the American Arbitration Association in Las Vegas, Nevada before three arbitrators, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of submission to arbitration.  The Company and Executive hereby agree that a judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrators may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  The Company shall pay all costs uniquely attributable to arbitration, including the administrative fees and costs of the arbitrators.  Each party shall pay that party’s own costs and attorney fees, if any, unless the arbitrators rule otherwise.  Executive understands that she is giving up no substantive rights, and this Agreement simply governs forum.  The arbitrators shall apply the same standards a court would apply to award any damages, attorney fees or costs.  Executive shall not be required to pay any fee or cost that she would not otherwise be required to pay in a court action, unless so ordered by the arbitrators.

(c)           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO A COURT TRIAL AND TRIAL BY JURY IS OF VALUE, AND KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THAT RIGHT FOR ANY DISPUTE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.
 
13.          Titles and Captions.  All paragraph titles or captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope or intent of any provision hereof.
 
14.          Joint Drafting.  In recognition of the fact that the parties had an equal opportunity to negotiate the language of, and draft, this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that there is no single drafter of this Agreement and, therefore, the general rule that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafter is, and shall be, inapplicable.  If any language in this Agreement is found or claimed to be ambiguous, each party shall have the same opportunity to present evidence as to the actual intent of the parties with respect to any such ambiguous language without any inference or presumption being drawn against any party.
 
15.          Notices.  All notices and other communications to be given or to otherwise be made to any party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument delivered in person or duly sent by certified mail or by a recognized national courier service, postage or charges prepaid, (a) to Scientific Games Corporation, Attn: Chief Legal Officer, at 6650 S. El Camino Road, Las Vegas, NV 89118, (b) to Executive, at the last address shown in the Company’s records, or (c) to such other replacement address as may be designated in writing by the addressee to the addressor.
 
16.          Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” unless the context otherwise indicates.  When a reference in this Agreement is made to a “party” or “parties,” such reference shall be to a party or parties to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise.  Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto”, “hereunder” and derivative or similar words in this Agreement refer to this entire Agreement, (b) the word “or” is disjunctive but not exclusive and (c) words in this Agreement using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other genders.  References in this Agreement to “dollars” or “$” are to U.S. dollars.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to a law, statute or legislation, such reference shall be to such law, statute or legislation as it may be amended, modified, extended or re-enacted from time to time (including any successor law, statute or legislation) and shall include any regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time.  The headings used herein are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
