Dear Paul,
​
ADDITIONAL SEVERANCE PROTECTION – VARIATIONS TO YOUR SERVICE AGREEMENT
I am writing to confirm the enhanced severance terms GBT Travel Services UK Limited intends to provide you with in the event of a qualifying termination of your employment (subject to the terms set out below).
This letter is supplemental to, and sets out the variations to, your Service Agreement with GBT Travel Services UK Limited dated 5 June 2020 (the Service Agreement).  Save as expressly set out below, all other terms of the Service Agreement shall remain unchanged.  If there is a conflict between the Service Agreement and this letter, in relation to the specific items addressed in this letter only, the terms set out in this letter will prevail.  References in this letter to clauses, are to clauses of the Service Agreement.  Unless otherwise explicitly specified, capitalised terms set out in this letter have the same meaning as defined in the Service Agreement.
The terms set out in this letter shall become effective upon GBT U LLC or its ultimate parent entity (currently GBT JerseyCo Limited) having a class of common stock publicly traded on a national securities exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, or quoted on NASDAQ (the date on which this Agreement becomes effective is referred to herein as the Effective Date); provided, however, that if the Effective Date does not occur on or before on or before 31 July 2022, then the terms set out in this letter shall be null and void ab initio and neither party hereto shall have any liabilities or obligations hereunder.
Enhanced Severance terms
	1
	If your employment is terminated in the circumstances set out in clause 17.1 of the Service Agreement (being that your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause as defined in clause 16.1 or where you resign for Good Reason in accordance with clause 17.2, and subject to you entering into a settlement agreement with the Company in accordance with clause 17.5 (a Qualifying Termination), in addition to the payments currently specified in clauses 17.1.1, 17.1.2(a), 17.1.2(b) and 17.1.3 (the Current Entitlements) you shall also be entitled to be paid a pro rata portion of the on target annual performance-based bonus pursuant to clause 7.3 of the Service Agreement for the bonus year in which your employment is terminated, based on actual performance but pro-rated based on the number of days you are employed by the Company during the year of such termination of employment (but excluding any period during which you are under notice of termination of employment (whether given or received) or on a period of Garden Leave under clause 3.5 of the Service Agreement or otherwise are not providing services to the Company) (the Pro Rata Bonus).  The Current Entitlements and the Pro Rata Bonus are together defined as the Non-CIC Severance Payments.

​
​

​
	2
	For the avoidance of doubt, death is not a Qualifying Termination. If your employment ceases due to your death, you (or your estate or legal representative, as applicable) shall be entitled only to receive your annual performance based bonus (based on actual performance) for any prior year not already paid, with such amount to be payable at the same time as if no such termination had occurred (and in all events by March 15th of the year immediately after the year to which such bonus relates and in accordance with the Company's standard procedures in place from time to time). All other rights you may have to compensation and employee benefits from the Company and/or any Group Company, other than as set forth in this paragraph 2 and clause 3.2, shall immediately terminate upon the Termination Date.  For the avoidance of doubt (a) the impact of the termination of your employment on any equity or equity-based award granted to you shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and equity award agreement (this letter shall not control such treatment) and (b) save as provided by the rules of the applicable plans referred to immediately above, upon termination of your employment you shall not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights or benefits under any such plans in which you may participate.

	3
	For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the following, the Company hereby confirms that the termination of your employment by the Company by reason of your Disability shall constitute a Qualifying Termination which would entitle you to payment of the Non-CIC Severance Payments reduced by any sums received by you prior to the Termination Date under the PHI Scheme (or similar insurance providing for payments during a period of incapacity (such that, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of the Non-CIC Severance Payment on Disability may be reduced to nil). For the purposes of this letter, Disability has the meaning set out in the long term disability policy maintained by the Company from time to time applicable to you or, if no such policy is then in effect, “Disability” means that you have been unable, as determined by the Board in good faith, to perform your duties to the Company for a period of six (6) consecutive months, as a result of injury, illness or any other physical or mental impairment.

	4
	If a Qualifying Termination (other than by reason of Disability) occurs within the period commencing 60 days prior to and ending 18 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below), then in addition to Non-CIC Severance Payments, and subject to the remaining provisions of clause 17 and your other obligations under the Service Agreement, you shall also be entitled to be paid:

(i) 52 weeks’ basic salary subject to deductions for tax and national insurance contributions as required by law; and
(ii)  a sum equivalent to the target annual performance-based bonus for the bonus year in which your employment is terminated (such bonus to be paid in full); and
(iii) an amount equal to the cost to the Company of providing private medical expenses insurance for an additional period of 52 weeks.
(together items (i), (ii) and (iii) above being the CIC Severance Payments).
	5
	Payment of the Non-CIC Severance Payments shall be made in accordance with, and subject to, clause 17 of the Service Agreement and the Pro Rata Bonus will be paid on or around 15 March in the calendar year following the Qualifying Termination in accordance with the Company's

​

2

​
standard procedures in place from time to time.  For the avoidance of doubt these payment terms apply to the Non-CIC Severance Payments even if the Qualifying Termination occurs within the period commencing 60 days prior to and ending 18 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below).
	6
	The CIC Severance Payments shall be paid to you on the later of (i) the date 30 days following the date the settlement agreement (referred to in clause 17.5 of the Service Agreement) is fully executed by you and any other party thereto and (ii) the date of the Change in Control.

	7
	For the purpose of this letter, Change in Control shall have the meaning set out in the Global Business Travel Group, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) anticipated to be adopted by Global Business Travel Group, Inc. following the date hereof (disregarding any amendment or termination of the Plan on or after the date of adoption) (the Plan).

	8
	For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of clause 25 of the Service Agreement (in respect of governing law and jurisdiction) shall apply to this letter.

	9
	This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties to it on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

To record your agreement to the variations to the Service Agreement, please sign the enclosed copy of this letter.

In connection with the Restructuring, the GBT III B.V.

Pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Prior Plan, all of the options granted under the Prior Plan that were outstanding at the closing of the Restructuring were converted into options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Options”) and for all purposes of this Plan, shall be treated as if they were originally granted under this Plan. References in this Plan to the Company in relation to events that occurred prior to the Restructuring shall be deemed to refer to GBT III where applicable.
The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing the key employees, service providers and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries with an appropriate incentive to encourage them to continue in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries and to improve the growth, profitability and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(w)“Fair Market Value” shall mean, as of any date (i) prior to the date on which the Common Stock is first publicly traded on a recognized exchange, the value per share of Common Stock as determined by the Board; or (ii) on which the Common Stock is then publicly traded on a recognized exchange, (A) the closing price on such day of the shares of Common Stock as reported on the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or admitted to trading or (B) if not so reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices on such day as reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or (C) if not so reported, as furnished by any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

In addition to the other powers granted to the Committee under the Plan, the Committee shall, subject to the rights of the Chairman of the Board on the Effective Date (the “Effective Date Chairman”) set out in Section 4, have the power: (a) to determine the Eligible Individuals to whom grants of Options shall be made; (b) to determine the time or times when grants of Options shall be made and to determine the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each such grant; (c) to determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Option; (d) to prescribe the form of and terms and conditions of any instrument evidencing a grant of Options, so long as such terms and conditions are not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of the Plan; (e) to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable for the administration of the Plan; (f) to construe and interpret the Plan, such rules and regulations and the instruments evidencing grants of Options; (g) to reconcile any inconsistency, correct any defect and/or supply any omission in the Plan or any instrument evidencing any grant of Options; (h) to establish any black-out or exercise restrictions on Options as it deems appropriate in connection with an Initial Public Offering or other event; and (i) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan and Options and otherwise do all things necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan and Options; provided, however, that Option grants to directors of the Company must be approved by the full Board.
3.2Determinations of the Committee. Any grant, determination, prescription or other act of the Committee shall be final and conclusively binding upon all Persons.
3.3Indemnification of the Committee. No member of the Committee nor the Effective Date Chairman, the Majority Stockholders, any Juweel Investor, nor their employees, partners, directors or associates shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any grant of Options thereunder. To the full extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Person made or threatened to be made a
​

​
party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such Person, or such Person’s testator or intestate, is or was a member of the Committee, is or was the Effective Date Chairman or is or was a Majority Stockholder, a Juweel Investor or an employee, partner, director or associate thereof, to the extent such criminal or civil action or proceeding relates to the Plan or any grant made pursuant to the Plan (provided that such Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of, or not opposed to the best interests of, the Company).
3.4Compliance with Applicable Law; Securities Matters; Effectiveness of Option Exercise. The Company shall be under no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of the issuance of any shares of Common Stock to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance or registration under any state or non-U.S. laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Options, which shares of Common Stock shall be evidenced by book-entry in the books and records of the Company, and may only issue such certificates or make such book-entry in the event the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates or making of such book-entry is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements and representations as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations or requirements. The Company may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of an exercise, or delay the exercisability, of an Option hereunder or the issuance or transfer of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Option pending or to help ensure compliance under federal, state or non-U.S. securities laws and any exemptions therefrom on which the Company may be relying. The Company shall inform the Participant in writing of its decision to defer the effectiveness of the exercise of an Option or the issuance or transfer of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Option. During the period that the effectiveness of the exercise of an Option has been deferred, the Participant may, by written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.
3.5Inconsistent Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Management Stockholders’ Agreement and the terms of any Option Grant Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall govern except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
3.6Plan Term. The Committee shall not grant any Options under this Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. All Options which remain outstanding after such date shall continue to be governed by the Plan and the applicable Option Grant Agreement(s).
3.7Acceptance of Terms. By accepting (or, under such rules as the Committee may prescribe, being deemed to have accepted) an Option, the Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms of the Option Grant Agreement and the Plan.
​

​
4Options
4.1Option Pool. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.14 hereof, Options may be granted under the Plan to Participants to purchase up to 4,764,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pool”). The Committee shall have discretion to grant 62.5% of the Pool, and the Effective Date Chairman, for so long as he remains Chairman of the Board, will have the discretion to grant the remaining 37.5% of the Pool (such portion, the “Chairman Pool”); provided that the Effective Date Chairman may not make grants out of the Chairman Pool to himself and provided further, that any grants made by the Effective Date Chairman must conform with the terms and conditions of the Plan (other than the allocation and vesting schedule applicable to any such grants, which shall be determined by the Effective Date Chairman in his sole discretion) and applicable law; provided that notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, for so long as the Effective Date Chairman remains on the Board, the Options granted from the Chairman Pool shall not be amended or modified without his written consent (including by email) unless both (i) such amendment is approved by at least one designee of Juweel Investors Coöperatief U.A. who is then serving on the Committee and (ii) such amendment is being made to all other outstanding Option grants (including those not granted from the Chairman Pool). In order to effectuate the foregoing, at least 5 business days prior to the proposed Grant Date of any Option to be granted to an Eligible Individual from the Chairman Pool, the Effective Date Chairman must notify the Chairman of the Committee in writing (including by email) of the proposed terms and conditions of the grant, including, without limitation, the proposed exercise price, vesting schedule and Eligible Individual to whom the grant shall be made and any such proposed grants will not be effective unless and until the Committee (upon advice of legal counsel if it determines to engage legal counsel) confirms that such Options comply with the relevant terms of the Plan and applicable law (which confirmation shall be provided by the Committee promptly).
4.2Share Counting. To the extent that any Option granted under the Plan terminates, expires or is canceled without having been exercised, the shares of Common Stock covered by such Option shall again be available for grant under the Plan; provided that any shares of Common Stock surrendered or withheld to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes relating to Options and shares of Common Stock underlying an Option that is settled in cash or consideration other than shares of Common Stock shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan. Any shares of Common Stock related to Options granted under the Plan by the Effective Date Chairman which are forfeited, terminated, canceled or expire unexercised may be reallocated by the Effective Date Chairman for so long as he remains Chairman of the Board; provided that any shares of Common Stock surrendered or withheld to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes relating to Options granted under the Plan by the Effective Date Chairman shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan. Common Stock delivered by the Company under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Common Stock or previously issued Common Stock acquired by the Company. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be delivered under the Plan. For purposes of clarification, the Board and Committee shall have the sole authority to administer the terms of the Plan and any outstanding Options that have been granted under the Plan (except with respect to amendments or modifications to Options granted from the Chairman Pool, as described in Section 4.1 above).
​

​
4.3Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of any Option granted under the Plan shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher amount as the Committee may determine in connection with the grant. Options, once granted, may be repriced only in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Plan.
4.4Grant Date. The Grant Date of the Options shall be the date designated by the Committee and specified in the Option Grant Agreement as of the date the Option is granted.
4.5Vesting of Options. The Committee shall specify in the Option Grant Agreement the conditions upon which the Option shall become vested. Vested portions of the Option (if any) may be exercised only in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof.
(a)Time-Based Option.
(i)Generally. The Committee may provide in the Option Grant Agreement that some or all of an Option granted under the Plan is a Time-Based Option. For purposes of the Plan, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Option Grant Agreement, a “Time-Based Option” shall mean an Option that vests in equal 20% installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date, subject in all cases to the Participant’s continued Employment through the applicable vesting date. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, the vesting of the Time-Based Option may be suspended during any leave of absence.
(ii)Accelerated Vesting on a Qualifying Termination. In the event that a Participant’s Employment is terminated as the result of a Qualifying CIC Termination, 100% of the then outstanding Time-Based Options held by the Participant shall immediately vest and become exercisable as of such Qualifying CIC Termination.
(b)Performance-Based Option. The Committee may provide in the Option Grant Agreement that some or all of an Option granted under the Plan is a Performance- Based Option. For purposes of the Plan, a “Performance-Based Option” shall mean an Option that vests in accordance with the performance-based targets set forth in the applicable Option Grant Agreement.
(c)Premium Strike Options. The Committee may provide in the Option Grant Agreement that some or all of an Option granted under the Plan (whether a Performance-Based Option or a Time-Based Option) is a Premium Strike Option. For purposes of the Plan, a “Premium Strike Option” shall mean an Option that has an Exercise Price that is greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date of such Option.
4.6Expiration of Options. All Options, whether vested or unvested, shall expire on the tenth anniversary of their Grant Date unless such Options expire earlier as provided below or in the applicable Option Grant Agreement.
(a)Effect of Termination of Employment on Unvested Options. With respect to each Participant, such Participant’s Option(s), or portion thereof, which have not become vested shall expire on the date such Participant’s Employment is terminated for any reason
​

​
unless otherwise specified in the Option Grant Agreement or as specified below, or unless such termination is a Qualifying CIC Termination.
(i)Death & Disability. Except as otherwise provided in an Option Grant Agreement, in the event the Participant’s Employment terminates due to the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant’s unvested Options will remain outstanding and continue to vest or be eligible to vest during the twelve-month period following such termination of Employment, and each such unvested Option that vests following such termination of Employment will remain outstanding and be exercisable until the earlier of (i) twelve months following the date on which such Option vested following the Participant’s death or Disability or (ii) the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date for such Option(s) or such different expiration period (not to exceed ten years from the Grant Date) specified in the Option Grant Agreement, which expiration date or period shall supersede the foregoing expiration period.
(ii)Termination of Employment by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause. Except as otherwise provided in an Option Grant Agreement, in the event the Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary without Cause, the Participant’s unvested Options will remain outstanding and continue to vest or be eligible to vest during the six-month period following such termination of Employment and each such unvested Option that vests following such termination of Employment will remain outstanding and be exercisable until the earlier of (i) 90 days following the date on which such Option vested following the Participant’s termination of Employment or (ii) the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date for such Option(s) or such different expiration period specified in the Option Grant Agreement, which expiration date or period shall supersede the foregoing expiration period.
(b)Effect of Termination of Employment on Vested Options. With respect to each Participant, such Participant’s Option(s), or any portion thereof, which have become vested on or before the date such Participant’s Employment is terminated shall, unless otherwise provided in the Participant’s Option Grant Agreement, expire on the earliest of (i) the commencement of business on the date the Participant’s Employment is terminated for Cause, or, following the Participant’s termination of Employment, the date on which the Committee in good faith determines that during his or her Employment, the Participant engaged in conduct which constitutes Cause; (ii) 90 days after the date the Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary or by the Participant for any reason other than (1) Cause (unless the Participant engaged in conduct which the Committee determined in good faith constitutes Cause), (2) a Qualifying CIC Termination or (3) the Participant’s death or Disability; (iii) one year after the date the Participant’s Employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability; or (iv) the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date for such Option(s) or such different expiration date or period (not to exceed ten years from the Grant Date) specified in the Option Grant Agreement, which expiration date or period shall supersede the foregoing expiration period.
(c)Permitted Transferees. Any Option, or portion thereof, that is vested and is held by a Permitted Transferee on account of the death of a Participant shall expire (i) in the event that such Participant terminated Employment prior to his or her death, on the date on
​

​
which such Option would have expired had the Participant not died and had such Participant continued to hold such Option (unless otherwise provided in the Participant’s Option Grant Agreement) or (ii) in the event that such Participant died while Employed, unless otherwise provided in the Participant’s Option Grant Agreement, on the earlier of (x) one year after the date on which such deceased Participant’s Employment terminated by reason of death or (y) the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date for such Option(s) or such different expiration period (not to exceed ten years from the Grant Date) specified in the Option Grant Agreement, which expiration date or period shall supersede the foregoing expiration period. Any Option or portion thereof that has been transferred to a Permitted Transferee during the lifetime of a Participant shall expire in connection with the Participant’s termination of Employment at the time set forth under this Section 4.6 as if the Option were held directly by the Participant, unless otherwise provided in the Participant’s Option Grant Agreement.
4.7Limitation on Transfer. Each Option granted to a Participant shall be exercisable only by such Participant, except that a Participant may assign or transfer his or her rights with respect to any or all of the Options held by such Participant to: (i) such Participant’s beneficiaries or estate upon the death of the Participant (by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise) and (ii) subject to the prior written approval by the Committee (unless otherwise specified in the Participant’s Option Grant Agreement) and compliance with all applicable tax, securities and other laws, for estate planning purposes to family members or entities controlled by, or trusts solely for the benefit of, family members, or as may be necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (each of (i) and (ii), a “Permitted Transferee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will transfers to a Person that the Administrator determines provides services or financial or other support, directly or indirectly, to a competitor of the Company be permitted, even if such Person is otherwise a Permitted Transferee hereunder.
4.8Condition Precedent to Transfer of Any Option. It shall be a condition precedent to any Transfer of any Option by any Participant that the Transferee shall agree prior to the Transfer in writing with the Company to be bound by the terms of the Plan, the Option Grant Agreement and the Management Stockholders’ Agreement as if he, she or it had been an original signatory thereto, except that any provisions of the Plan or an Option Grant Agreement based on the Employment (or termination thereof) shall continue to be based on the Employment (or termination thereof) of the original Participant (and all other forfeiture and vesting conditions shall apply as if no such Transfer had occurred, unless otherwise determined by the Committee) .
4.9Effect of Void Transfers. In the event of any purported Transfer of any Options in violation of the provisions of the Plan, such purported Transfer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be void and of no effect.
4.10Exercise of Options. Subject to Section 3.4 hereof, except as otherwise determined by the Committee or set forth in the Option Grant Agreement, prior to an Initial Public Offering, any Options may only be exercised upon a Liquidity Event, with the percentage of the Option that may be exercised in connection with such Liquidity Event to equal the lesser of (I) the difference between (x) the aggregate percentage of Initial Majority Stockholder Shares Transferred by the Majority Stockholders in such Liquidity Event and in all prior Liquidity Events that occurred while the applicable Option was outstanding (with such percentage to be determined based on the Initial Majority Stockholder Shares as of the Closing) and (y) the
​

​
percentage of the Option previously exercised, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (provided that if the amount in clause (y) exceeds the amount in clause (x), then the amount under this clause (I) shall be zero) and (II) the percentage of the Option that is both vested and unexercised at the time of exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in an Option Grant Agreement: (a) following a Qualifying CIC Termination, a Participant may exercise any of his or her vested Options through the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date for such Option(s) or such different expiration date or period specified in the Option Grant Agreement and (b) following a Participant’s termination of Employment other than for Cause, the Participant may exercise any of his or her Options that were vested as of such termination of Employment or that vest following termination during the period that such Options remain outstanding in accordance with Section 4.6 of the Plan. Following an Initial Public Offering, a Participant (or his or her Permitted Transferee, guardian or legal representative, if applicable) may exercise vested Options subject to Section 3.4 hereof and otherwise in compliance with other applicable law and/or Company policy. An Option Grant Agreement may provide that this Section 4.10 does not apply to the Option granted thereby.
4.11Method of Exercise. Unless the Committee expressly provides otherwise, the Option shall be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Company at the address provided in Section 5.6 hereof (the “Exercise Notice”), which if the Committee so determines may be an electronic notice, to the attention of its Secretary, no less than five business days in advance of the effective date of the proposed exercise (the “Exercise Date”). Such notice shall (a) specify the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, the Grant Date and Vesting Commencement Date of such Option and the Exercise Date, (b) be signed (including electronic signature in form acceptable to the Committee) by the Participant (or his or her Permitted Transferee, guardian or legal representative, if applicable), (c) indicate in writing that the Participant agrees to be bound by the Management Stockholders’ Agreement, (d) if the Option is being exercised by the Participant’s Permitted Transferee(s), such Permitted Transferee(s) shall indicate in writing that they agree to and shall be bound by the Plan, Option Grant Agreement and the Management Stockholders’ Agreement as if they had been original signatories thereto (as provided in Section 4.8 hereof) and (e) contain such other items as the Committee may determine. The Exercise Notice shall include payment in cash for an amount equal to the nominal value of a share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with the exercise of the Option. Any shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with the exercise of an Option shall be delivered (a) net of the total Exercise Price of such Options then exercised and (b) net of the minimum statutory tax withholding unless, in the case of such tax withholding, the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that such net-physical settlement (i) is not permitted by law, (ii) will result in default under, or is otherwise not permitted by, any credit agreement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or (iii) that the Company does not have sufficient liquidity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit (or, following the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering, mandate) payment of the Exercise Price and tax withholding liabilities in cash or such other method as it determines from time to time. The partial exercise of an Option, alone, shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion of such Option.
​

​
4.12Management Stockholders’ Agreement. Subject to Section 3.4 herein, upon the exercise of the Options in accordance with Section 4.11, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued to or recorded in the name of any Participant until such Participant agrees to be bound by and executes the Management Stockholders’ Agreement.
4.13Amendment of Terms of Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1 with respect to Options granted under the Chairman Pool, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the Plan or terms of any Option; provided, however, that (i) any such amendment shall not materially impair or adversely affect the Participants’ existing rights under the Plan or such Option without such Participant’s written consent, unless the Committee expressly reserved the right to make such amendment at the time the Option was granted (which shall include, without limitation, the right to adjust or modify the Plan and outstanding Options pursuant to Section 4.14) and (ii) without the written consent of the Effective Date Chairman, no portion of the Plan that relates to the rights of the Effective Date Chairman may be amended while the Effective Date Chairman remains on the Board.
4.14Effect of Certain Transactions. Subject to any action by the shareholders of the Company required by law, applicable tax rules or the rules of any exchange on which Shares are listed for trading:
(a)Shares Available for Grants. In the event of any change in the number of Shares outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of Shares or similar corporate change, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be granted under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted or substituted by the Committee, and the Committee may make such other changes to the terms of the Plan as is necessary to reflect such corporate change.
(b)Increase or Decrease in Issued Shares Without Consideration. In the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Shares) or any recapitalization, merger, combination or exchange of Shares or similar corporate change, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, adjust the type and/or number of shares of Common Stock subject to each outstanding Option and/or the exercise price per share of Common Stock of each such Option.
(c)Certain Mergers and Other Transactions. In the event of any merger, consolidation or similar transaction as a result of which the holders of Shares receive consideration consisting exclusively of securities of the surviving corporation in such transaction, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, adjust each Option outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation so that it pertains and applies to the securities which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Option would have received in such merger or consolidation.
In the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets (on a consolidated basis), (iii) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company in which the holders of Shares receive securities and/or other property, including cash, (iv) any Drag-Along Sale (as
​

​
defined in the Management Stockholders’ Agreement) or (v) a Change in Control, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, have the power to:
(i)cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Option (whether or not then exercisable or vested), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant in respect of each share of Common Stock underlying such Option the excess, if any, of (A) the value, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, of the property (including cash) received (or that would be received) in respect of a share of Common Stock as a result of such event over (B) the Exercise Price of each such Option (provided that if the amount under clause (B) equals or exceeds the amount under clause (A), then such Option may be cancelled with no payment due to the holder thereof);
(ii)provide for the exchange of each Option (whether or not then exercisable or vested) for an option with respect to (A) some or all of the property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Option would have received in such transaction or (B) securities of the acquiror or surviving entity (or an Affiliate thereof) and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in the exercise price of the Option and/or the number of securities or amount of property subject to the option or provide for a payment (in cash or other property) to the Participant to whom such Option was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Option;
(iii)in the case of a Drag-Along Sale, require the Participant to exercise a percentage of his or her Options (whether or not vested) up to the percentage of Shares that a Management Stockholder (as defined in the Management Stockholders’ Agreement) would be required to sell in such Drag-Along Sale under the Management Stockholders’ Agreement; or
(iv)take such other action as the Committee deems appropriate.
(d)Other Changes. In the event of any change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in Section 4.14 above, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, make such adjustments in the number and/or class of shares subject to Options outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and/or in such other terms of the Plan and such Options as the Committee may consider appropriate.
(e)No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or any Option Grant Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the date of grant of an Option, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividends or dividend equivalents, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares or amount of other property subject to, or the terms related to,
​

​
any Option. For purposes of clarification, and notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or any Option Grant Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any adjustments be made to outstanding Options in respect of any cash dividends or distributions to stockholders of the Company in respect of their Shares unless and until (and then only with respect to cash dividends and distributions after) the amount of cash dividends or cash distributions paid in respect of the Initial Majority Stockholder Shares exceeds the sum of $1.8 billion (U.S. Dollars) and any taxes due on such dividends or distributions (but without regard to cash dividends or distributions for the purpose of satisfying tax obligations) (the “ Majority Stockholder Capital Return”), and following the payment of the Majority Stockholder Capital Return, no adjustments shall be made to outstanding Options in respect of any cash dividends or cash distributions to stockholders of the Company in respect of their Shares unless determined otherwise by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply from and after an Initial Public Offering.
(f)Savings Clause. No provision of this Section 4.14 shall be given effect to the extent that such provision would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code.
5Miscellaneous
5.1Rights as Option Holders. The Participants shall not have any rights as stockholders with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by or relating to the Options granted pursuant to the Plan until the date the Participants become the registered owners of such shares of Common Stock issued in accordance with and subject to the governing documents of the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.14 hereof or in an Option Grant Agreement, no adjustment to the Options shall be made for dividends.
5.2No Special Employment Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan shall confer upon the Participants any right with respect to the continuation of their Employment or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, subject to the terms of any separate employment agreements to the contrary, at any time to terminate such Employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participants from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of any Option.
5.3No Obligation to Exercise; No Compensation. The grant to the Participants of the Options shall impose no obligation upon the Participants to exercise such Options. Furthermore, the expiration of an Option prior to the exercise thereof shall not entitle the Participant or any Permitted Transferee or other Person to any compensation or payment in respect thereof. Any Option granted to a Participant shall be treated as a one-time special grant and shall not be pensionable or treated as the regular part of the Participant’s employment or compensation.
5.4Restrictions on Common Stock. The rights and obligations of the Participants with respect to the shares of Common Stock obtained through the exercise of any Option provided in the Plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Management Stockholders’ Agreement.

5.6Notices. Each notice and other communication hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date it is delivered in person or by electronic mail, on the next business day if delivered by overnight mail or other reputable overnight courier, or the third business day if sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the parties as follows:

5.7Descriptive Headings. The headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of the terms contained herein.
5.8Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions, subdivisions, words, clauses, phrases or sentences contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision, subdivision, word, clause, phrase or sentence in every other respect and of the remaining provisions, subdivisions, words, clauses, phrases or sentences hereof shall not in any way be impaired, it being intended that all rights, powers and privileges of the Company and Participants shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that if any restrictive covenant contained herein is determined to be too broad in duration, scope or in any other respect, it shall be reformed to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
5.9Governing Law; Venue. The provisions of the Plan and any Option Grant Agreements and all claims or disputes arising out of or based upon the Plan, any Option Grant Agreement and any Option under the Plan or relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the domestic substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to the provisions governing choice or conflict of laws or rules that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. The Company and each Participant hereby agree and consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in any suit, action or proceeding
​

​
seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, the Plan, any Option or any Option Grant Agreement. The Company and each Participant hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to laying venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts, and (ii) any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
5.10Exchange Act Exemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Option Grant Agreement, until such time as the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 12 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or is otherwise no longer relying on the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act set forth in Rule 12h-1(f) under the Exchange Act (the “Employee Options Exemption”) in connection with the grant of Options hereunder or the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options, the Plan, the Options granted hereunder and the Option Grant Agreements entered into in connection with such grants are intended to comply with the Employee Options Exemption and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan, such Options and such Option Grant Agreements shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.
5.11Waiver of Jury Trial. By accepting an Option under the Plan, each Participant waives any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim concerning any rights under the Plan and any Option Grant Agreements, or under any amendment, waiver, consent, instrument, document or other agreement delivered or which in the future may be delivered in connection therewith, and agrees that any such action, proceedings or counterclaim shall be tried before a court and not before a jury. By accepting an Option under the Plan, each Participant certifies that no officer, representative, or attorney of the Company or any of its Affiliates has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Company or any of its Affiliates would not, in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers.
5.12Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, neither the Company, any Majority Stockholder or Juweel Investor, nor any Affiliate of the Company or any Juweel Investor, nor the Committee, nor the Effective Date Chairman, nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company, any Majority Stockholder, Juweel Investor or Affiliate of the Company or any Juweel Investor, or the Committee or Effective Date Chairman, will be liable to any Participant or to the estate or beneficiary of any Participant or to any other holder of an Option by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax (including any interest and penalties), asserted by reason of the failure of an Option to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 or Section 409A of the Code or by reason of Section 4999 of the Code, or otherwise asserted with respect to the Option.
5.13Applicable Regulatory Guidance and Clawback/Adjustment. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, except as expressly provided in any Option Grant Agreement, the Committee and/or management of the Company may in its discretion clawback Options, reduce or eliminate the amount of the Option that would otherwise be earned, clawback dividend equivalents paid in respect of Options, clawback shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Option and/or clawback proceeds received from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Option if, in the Committee’s or management’s
​

​
sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. Circumstances where such negative discretion may be appropriate include instances where the Participant participated (which could include, depending on the circumstances, participation in a supervisory capacity by act or omission) in an activity without appropriate consideration of the risk to the Company or its Affiliates, such as the failure to provide any certifications pursuant to Section 3.6(h) of the Shareholders Agreement. Examples include but are not limited to the Participant’s failure to raise, identify and/or assess in a timely manner and as reasonably expected risks, such as a material compliance, legal, regulatory or reputational risk. Similarly, any Performance-Based Options are also subject to a clawback if such Options vest as a result of misstated financial results. Additionally, in the event that any Performance-Based Options vest as a result of misstated financial results, the Committee may, in its discretion, adjust the Options to reflect the corrected financial results.
5.14Parachute Payments. If there is a change in ownership or effective control, or of a substantial portion of the assets, of the Company within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (a “280G CIC”) and as of the effective time of such 280G CIC, (a) Section 280G of the Code applies to the Company or any of its subsidiaries at such time and (b) the Company is eligible to rely on the exemption available under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) to corporations no stock of which is readily tradeable on an established securities market, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as otherwise provided below, if the Company determines that any right to receive any payment or other benefit under this Plan or the Option Grant Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the vesting and/or exercisability of the Option and taking into account the effect of this Section) to or for the benefit of the Participant (the “Payments”), would, in whole or part when aggregated with any other right, payment or benefit to or for the Participant under all other agreements, arrangements or benefit plans cause any such Payments or other rights, payments or benefits to be nondeductible by the Company or its subsidiaries (or other person making such payment or providing such benefit) as a result of Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Participant to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then, to the extent necessary (whether or not sufficient) to make the Payments and all such rights, payments and benefits deductible and to exempt the Payments and all such rights, payments and benefits from the Excise Tax (but only to such extent and after taking into account any reduction in the Payments relating to Section 280G of the Code under any other plan, arrangement or agreement), the Option and any other right, payment or benefit under this Plan, any Option Grant Agreement or otherwise shall not become exercisable, vested or paid. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to reduce such amounts if the amounts that would otherwise be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Participant to the Excise Tax are waived by the applicable Participant in writing and disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.
If there is a 280G CIC and as of the effective time of such 280G CIC, (a) Section 280G of the Code applies to the Company or its subsidiaries, and (b) the Company is not eligible to rely on the exemption available under Section 280G of the Code to corporations no stock of which is readily tradeable on an established securities market, then in the event that it shall be (or is subsequently) determined that any Payment would, in whole or part when aggregated with any other right, payment or benefit to or for the Participant under all other agreements, arrangements
​

​
or benefit plans, cause any such Payments or other rights, payments or benefits to be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Payments and all such rights, payments and benefits shall be reduced (or appropriately adjusted) to an amount that is one dollar less than the smallest amount that would give rise to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”) if such Reduced Amount would be greater than the net after-tax proceeds (taking into account both the Excise Tax and any interest or penalties payable with respect to the Excise Tax) of the unreduced Payments and all such other rights, payments and benefits. If the Payments and such other rights, payments or benefits are required to be reduced hereunder, there shall be no discretion in the ordering of the Payments and such other rights, payments or benefits so reduced, and such reductions shall be applied in the order which results in the best economic benefit to the Participant; and to the extent such ordering of reductions is economically equivalent, such Payments and such other rights, payments or benefits shall be reduced on a pro rata basis.

​

​
3Transfer and Lock-Up of Shares; Call Rights.
(a)Transfer and Lock-Up of Shares.
(i)The Management Stockholder agrees that he or she will not cause or permit his or her Shares or his or her interest in such Shares to be Transferred except as expressly permitted by this Section 3; provided, however, that, subject to the following sentence, such Shares or any such interest may be Transferred (A) on the Management Stockholder’s death by bequest or inheritance to the Management Stockholder’s executors, administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees or beneficiaries, (B) with the prior written consent of the Board and prior approval by all the Majority Stockholders, and (C) in accordance with Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement, subject in each case to (1) paragraph (ii) of this Section 3(a), (2) compliance with all applicable tax, securities and other laws and (3) the agreement by each Transferee (other than the Company or as otherwise permitted by the Company in writing) in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if such Transferee had been an original signatory hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Options (and any interests therein) shall be transferable only in accordance with Sections 4.7 and 4.8 of the Plan. Any Shares so transferred shall remain subject to forfeiture under the Plan and repurchase as set forth herein as if no such Transfer had occurred.
(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Management Stockholder or Transferee be entitled to Transfer its Shares without the prior written consent of both Majority Stockholders and the Board, (x) to any Person that is Competing with the Company or (y) to any Person who (directly or indirectly) (1) holds an ownership interest in any Person who Competes with the Company equal to five percent (5%) or more or (2) has designated, or has the right to designate, a member of the board of directors of any Person who Competes with the Company. In addition, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Management Stockholder or Transferee shall be entitled to Transfer its Shares at any time if such Transfer would:

(B)cause the Company to be required to register any Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act;

(D)be a “prohibited transaction” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and interpretations issued thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”), or the Code or cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or
​

​
(E)violate any applicable foreign laws similar to those set forth in (A)–(D).
(iii)The Management Stockholder agrees that, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, he or she will not, without the prior written consent of the Board, during the period following an Initial Public Offering during which the Majority Stockholders or Management Stockholders are subject to underwriter- imposed restrictions on the transfer of their Shares, or if longer, the applicable holding period required under Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act (the “Lock-Up Period”), (A) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares, Options or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares (including without limitation, Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Management Stockholder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), or (B) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
(iv)Any purported Transfer of Shares other than in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such Transfer for any purpose and shall not reflect in its records any change in record ownership of Shares pursuant to any such Transfer.
(v)Prior to the Agreement Termination Date, no Management Stockholder or Transferee shall grant any proxy or enter into or agree to be bound by any voting trust with respect to any Shares or enter into any agreements or arrangements of either kind with any person with respect to any Shares inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not such agreements and arrangements are with other Management Stockholders or holders of Shares who are not parties to this Agreement), including agreements or arrangements with respect to the acquisition, disposition or voting (if applicable) of any Shares, nor shall any Management Stockholder act, for any reason, as a member of a group or in concert with any other persons in connection with the acquisition, disposition or voting (if applicable) of any Shares in any manner which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
(b)Company Call Right upon Management Stockholder’s termination of Employment.
(i)In the event the Management Stockholder’s Employment terminates for any reason prior to the Agreement Termination Date (as hereinafter defined), the Company (or its designated assignee) shall have the right (but not the obligation) commencing following the later of (A) such termination of Employment and (B) the six (6) month anniversary of the date on which the Management Stockholder or Transferee has acquired the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Section 3(b) (with respect to any Share, the later to occur of (A) and (B), determined on a share-by-share basis, but
​

​
applying to all shares of Common Stock then owned by the Management Stockholder and his or her Transferees, the “Call Trigger Date”) and, subject to any tolling of the repurchase period described below, ending on the later of (X) the end of the Management Stockholder’s Restricted Period and (Y) the 18-month anniversary of the Call Trigger Date, to purchase from the Management Stockholder or the Management Stockholder’s Transferee, and upon the exercise of such right the Management Stockholder or such Transferee shall sell to the Company (or its designated assignee), all or any portion of the Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder or Transferee as of the date as of which such right is exercised at a per share price equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock determined as of the date the Call Notice or Tolling Notice (whichever occurs first) is provided; provided that in the event the Management Stockholder’s Employment is terminated for Cause (or is retroactively deemed to have been terminated for Cause pursuant to the Plan) or the Management Stockholder breaches a Restrictive Covenant, then the per share purchase price for any share of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder or his or her Transferees (even if a Call Notice or Tolling Notice already has been provided), shall be equal to the lesser of (x) the amount paid by such Management Stockholder for such share of Common Stock and (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date the Call Notice or Tolling Notice (whichever occurs first) is provided.
(ii)The Company (or its designated assignee) may exercise the call rights described in this Section 3(b) by delivering to the Management Stockholder or Transferee, as applicable, a written notice specifying its intent to purchase Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder or Transferee (the “Call Notice”) and the number of Shares to be purchased. In the event that the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the exercise of the Company’s call right is barred due to regulatory impediments or other applicable law respecting the Company or its subsidiaries or makes a good faith determination that the exercise of its call right would have an adverse impact on the Company or its subsidiaries for liquidity reasons or otherwise, (X) the Company may deliver to the Management Stockholder or Transferee, as applicable, a written notice communicating the Company’s determination to toll the exercise of the Company’s call right (the “Tolling Notice”) and (Y) the exercise of the call right shall automatically be tolled until the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such call right may be exercised and delivers a Call Notice to the Management Stockholder. Such purchase and sale of the Shares subject to the call right shall occur on such date as the Company (or its designated assignee) shall specify; provided that, the purchase price for such Shares shall only be paid on a Liquidity Event as set forth in Section 3(c)(iii). In addition, in the event that any payment related to the Company’s exercise of its call rights would result in a violation of the terms or provisions of, or result in a default or event of default under, any guarantee, financing or security agreement or document entered into by the Company or any of its Affiliates and in effect on such date (hereinafter a “Financing Agreement”), the Company may delay any such payment. In the event the payment of the purchase price is delayed as a result of a restriction imposed by a Financing Agreement as provided above, such payment shall be made as soon as practicable after the payment of such purchase price would, as determined by the Committee, no longer result in a violation of the terms or provisions of, or result in a default or event of default under, any Financing Agreement, and such payment shall equal the amount that would have been paid to the
​

​
Management Stockholder or Transferee if no delay had occurred plus interest for the period from the date on which the purchase price would have been paid but for the delay in payment provided herein to the date on which such payment is made (the “Delay Period”), calculated at an annual rate equal to the mid-term federal applicable rate in effect on the first day of the Delay Period. Solely for purposes of calculating the purchase price to be paid in connection with the exercise of a call right, the Company’s call right shall be deemed exercised on the date the Call Notice or Tolling Notice, as applicable, is provided, whichever occurs first (regardless of when the purchase price for the applicable Shares is paid and regardless of any change in the value of such Shares between the date of such Call Notice or Tolling Notice, as applicable, and the payment date). An example of how the call purchase price would be paid is set forth in Section 3(h) hereof.
(iii)In the event that the Company exercises its call right to purchase Shares from the Management Stockholder or any Transferee thereof under Section 3(b) and, following the date that the Company pays the Management Stockholder or any Transferee thereof any portion of the applicable purchase price for such Shares, the Management Stockholder breaches a Restrictive Covenant or is retroactively deemed to have been terminated for Cause, the Management Stockholder or the Management Stockholder’s Transferee shall pay to the Company, within ten (10) business days following the date on which the Management Stockholder breached a Restrictive Covenant or the date such termination is reclassified as being for Cause, as applicable, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount the Company paid the Management Stockholder or Transferee to purchase such Shares over (B) the amount the Company would have paid the Management Stockholder or Transferee for such Shares if, at the time the Company purchased such Shares, the Company had treated the termination of employment as a termination for Cause.
(c)Management Stockholder Put Rights and Company Call Rights during the Management Stockholder’s Employment.
(i)Management Stockholder Put Rights. Upon the exercise of any Option by the Management Stockholder while Employed, the Management Stockholder shall have a one-time right with respect to the Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of such Option, during the ten business days immediately following the six-month anniversary of the date the Management Stockholder or the Transferee has acquired such Common Stock, to sell to the Company, and upon the exercise of such right the Company (or its assignee) shall purchase from the Management Stockholder or the Management Stockholder’s Transferee, all or any portion of such Common Stock acquired by the Management Stockholder or the Transferee upon the exercise of such Option; provided that the Management Stockholder must be Employed at the time such right is exercised. The Management Stockholder shall exercise the put rights described in this Section 3(c) by delivering to the Company, no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the exercise of the Options and acquisition of the underlying Common Stock, a written notice specifying its intent to cause the Company to purchase some or all of such Common Stock (the “Put Notice”) and the number of Shares to be purchased.
​

​
(ii)Company Call Right. In the event that the Management Stockholder does not exercise the put right in respect of all of the Common Stock under Section 3(c)(i) above, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation), commencing on the date such put right expires, to purchase from the Management Stockholder or the Management Stockholder’s Transferee, and upon the exercise of such right the Management Stockholder or such Transferee shall sell to the Company (or its designated assignee), all or any portion of the Common Stock that could have been (but was not) sold had the Management Stockholder exercised such put right in full. The Company’s call right under this Section 3(c)(ii) shall expire on the termination of the Management Stockholder’s Employment. Failure to exercise the call right under this Section 3(c)(ii) shall not preclude or otherwise impact the Company from exercising the call right under Section 3(b) in accordance with the terms thereof.
(iii)Payment Terms. The purchase price for Common Stock to be acquired upon the exercise of a put right or call right shall only become payable on a Liquidity Event and may be paid in one or more increments, with such payments in connection with any particular Liquidity Event to be made only in respect of the lesser of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such put or call right on which payment has not already been made and (Y) a number of shares of Common Stock such that, after giving effect to such payment, the percentage of the Net Shares with respect to which the put or call purchase price will have been paid will equal the aggregate percentage of Initial Majority Stockholder Shares Transferred by the Majority Stockholders in such Liquidity Event and in all prior Liquidity Events that occurred after the Option to which such Common Stock relates was granted; provided, however, that if a Liquidity Event results in the Majority Stockholders, as a group, no longer holding any Initial Majority Stockholder Shares, then all remaining amounts of the purchase price shall be due and payable in connection with such Liquidity Event. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Net Shares” means, as of the relevant date of determination, the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock originally underlying the relevant Option and (y) the ratio of the aggregate net number of shares of Common Stock received in all exercises of such Option (i.e., after any reduction in respect of the payment of the exercise price of the Option and/or withholding, employment or similar taxes) to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Option has been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Committee determines that a delay is required as a result of any Financing Agreement, the provisions described in Section 3(b) above shall apply in respect of the Delay Period and payment of the purchase price shall therefore be delayed. The percentage of Initial Majority Stockholder Shares Transferred in any Liquidity Event shall be determined based on the Initial Majority Stockholder Shares as of the Closing. An example of how the purchase price under this Section 3 would be paid is set forth in Section 3(h) hereof. This Section 3(c)(iii) shall be applied separately to the Common Stock acquired under each Option.
(iv)For purposes of calculating the purchase price to be paid in connection with the exercise of the put or call rights described in this Section 3(c), the applicable right shall be deemed exercised as of (i) in connection with the exercise of the Management Stockholder put right, the later of (x) the one hundred eighty-first day
​

​
following the exercise of the Options and acquisition by the Management Stockholder of such Shares and (y) the date on which the Company accepts such Put Notice or provides a Tolling Notice (whichever occurs first) and (ii) in respect of the Company call right, the date on which the Company delivers such Call Notice or provides a Tolling Notice (whichever occurs first) to the Management Stockholder or Transferee, as applicable and, in each case, the purchase price to be paid shall be equal to the Fair Market Value as of such deemed exercise date (regardless of when the purchase price is actually paid and regardless of any change in the value of such Shares through the payment date).
(v)In the event that the Company exercises its call right to purchase Common Stock from the Management Stockholder or any Transferee thereof or the Management Stockholder or its Transferee exercises its put right to sell Common Stock under Section 3(c) and, following the date that the Company pays the Management Stockholder or any Transferee thereof any portion of the applicable purchase price for such Shares, the Management Stockholder breaches a Restrictive Covenant or is terminated for Cause, the Management Stockholder or the Management Stockholder’s Transferee shall pay to the Company, within ten (10) business days following the date on which the Management Stockholder breached a Restrictive Covenant or the date of such termination for Cause, as applicable, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount the Company paid the Management Stockholder or Transferee to purchase such Shares over (B) the amount the Company would have paid the Management Stockholder or Transferee for such Shares if, at the time the Company purchased such Shares, the Company had terminated the Management Stockholder’s employment for Cause.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the put right or call rights referred to in this Section 3 above are exercised but the Management Stockholder’s Employment is terminated for Cause prior to the date on which payment for his or her Common Stock has been made (including a termination that is retroactively treated as a termination for Cause), then the purchase price in respect of any such Shares shall equal the lesser of (i) the amount paid by such Management Stockholder for such Shares and (ii) Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time the put or call right is deemed exercised (as described in this Section 3). In addition, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the exercise of the Management Stockholder’s put right or the Company’s call right is barred due to regulatory impediments or other applicable law respecting the Company or its subsidiaries or makes a good faith determination that the exercise of the call or put rights would have an adverse impact on the Company or its subsidiaries for liquidity reasons or otherwise, (X) the Company may deliver to the Management Stockholder or Transferee, as applicable, a Tolling Notice and (Y) the exercise of the call right or put right, as applicable, shall automatically be tolled until the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such call right or put right, as applicable, may be exercised; provided that the purchase price to be paid in connection with the exercise of such put or call right will be determined as of (i) with respect to the call right, the date the Call Notice or Tolling Notice was delivered to the Management Stockholder or Transferee, whichever occurs first or (ii) with respect to the put right, the later of (x) the one hundred eighty-first day following the exercise of the Options and acquisition by the Management Stockholder of such Shares and (y) the earlier of the date on which the Company accepts the Put Notice or delivers the Tolling Notice to the Management Stockholder or Transferee.
​

​
(e)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, unless waived by the Company in its sole discretion, the payment of the purchase price for any Common Stock under this Section 3 with respect to any Management Stockholder who is no longer Employed as of the date of such payment shall be contingent on such Management Stockholder’s (or his or her estate’s, if applicable) execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and covenant not to sue in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.
(f)For the avoidance of doubt, as of (i) with respect to the call right, the date the Call Notice or Tolling Notice (whichever occurs first) was delivered to the Management Stockholder or Transferee or (ii) with respect to the put right, the later of (x) the one hundred eighty-first day following the exercise of the Options and acquisition by the Management Stockholder of such Shares and (y) the earlier of the date on which the Company accepts such Put Notice or the date the Company delivers a Tolling Notice to the Management Stockholder or Transferee, as applicable, the Shares subject to the call or put rights described in this Section 3 shall no longer be outstanding and the Management Stockholder or Transferee (as applicable) shall cease to own such Shares and shall cease to have any of the rights of a holder of Common Stock with respect thereto, including the right to receive dividends in respect of such Shares, regardless of when the purchase price for any Shares being sold pursuant to such put or call rights has been paid.
(g)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that a put or call right has been exercised pursuant to Section 3, but the purchase price in connection with the exercise of such put or call right has not been made in full as of the date of a Change in Control or an Initial Public Offering, the purchase price per Share determined in accordance with Sections 3(b) or 3(c), as applicable, in respect of such previously exercised put or call right shall not be modified. Payment of the purchase price in connection with the exercise of the put or call rights referred to in the immediately preceding sentence will be paid by the Company (i) in connection with an Initial Public Offering, upon the lapse of the restrictions under Section 3(a)(iii), (ii) in connection with a Change in Control, on the date thereof or (iii) such later date, as determined by the Committee and permitted by applicable law.
(h)Solely by way of example, if (i) there are 1,000,000 Initial Majority Stockholder Shares as of the Closing, with each Majority Stockholder holding the same number of Shares at Closing, (ii) a Management Stockholder was granted an Option to purchase 200 shares of Common Stock, exercises 50% of the Option (to the extent vested) and receives 100 shares of Common Stock, and such Management Stockholder provides a Put Notice with respect to 100 shares of Common Stock six months and three days after such shares are acquired and such Put Notice is accepted by the Company on such date, (iii) at the time the Put Notice is accepted by the Company, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is $3,000 and (iv) two years after such acquisition, a Liquidity Event occurs pursuant to which 400,000 of the Initial Majority Stockholder Shares are sold (at such time, the Common Stock has a value of $4,000 per share), then at the time of such Liquidity Event, the Management Stockholder will receive the purchase price for 80 of the 100 put Shares (40% of the Option), at a price of $3,000 per share (for a total of $240,000). If two years after the first Liquidity Event occurs, another Liquidity Event occurs pursuant to which 100,000 Initial Majority Stockholder Shares are sold (at such time, the Common Stock has a value of $4,500 per share), then at the time of such
​

​
Liquidity Event, such Management Stockholder would receive the purchase price for the 20 remaining put Shares (10% of the Option), at a price of $3,000 per share (for a total of $60,000).
(i)The provisions of this Section 3 shall be interpreted by the Board in good faith and all determinations with respect to this Section 3 shall be made by the Board in its sole discretion (including, without limitation, the date on which a Call Notice or Tolling Notice is provided, the date on which a Put Notice is accepted and the portion of the purchase price in respect of put or called Common Stock to be paid with respect to a Liquidity Event). All interpretations and determinations made by the Board under this Section 3 shall be final and binding on the Company, the Management Stockholder, any Transferee thereof and all other Persons.
4Certain Rights. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and Section 15 hereof:
(a)Drag Along Rights. If the Majority Stockholders desire to collectively Transfer, prior to the later of the Agreement Termination Date and the end of the Lock-Up Period, 50% or more of their aggregate direct or indirect pecuniary interest (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) in any Shares, substantially in proportion to their direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the Shares, in a single transaction to a Good Faith Independent Purchaser (a “Purchaser”) (other than any Affiliate of the Majority Stockholders, other investment partnerships, limited liability companies or other entities established for investment purposes and controlled by one or more of the members (other than passive investors) or the principals of the Majority Stockholders or any of their affiliates and other than any Employees of the Majority Stockholders or their affiliates, hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”) upon such terms and conditions as agreed to with the Majority Stockholders (a “Drag-Along Sale”), the Management Stockholder or Transferee agrees, at the request of the Majority Stockholders, to sell to such Purchaser a number of its Shares not to exceed (i) the number of Shares held by such Management Stockholder or Transferee multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Shares in which the Majority Stockholders collectively have a pecuniary interest that the Majority Stockholders have proposed to be transferred, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Shares in which the Majority Stockholders collectively have a pecuniary interest (or to vote such number of Shares in favor of any merger or other transaction which would effect a sale of such Shares); provided that (i) all of the holders of Shares receive the proceeds of such Drag-Along Sale in accordance with the priorities of distribution set forth in the Shareholders Agreement and (ii) except with respect to any liability incurred by such Management Stockholder or any Transferee individually, the Management Stockholders and any Transferees shall not be liable to a Purchaser for an amount greater than the proceeds received by such Management Stockholder or any Transferee from such sale. In such case, the Majority Stockholders shall give written notice of such sale to the Management Stockholders or Transferee at least ten (10) days prior to the consummation of such sale, setting forth (A) the consideration to be received by the holders of Shares, (B) the identity of the Purchaser, (C) any other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and (D) the date of the proposed Transfer. The Company shall be responsible for the proportionate share of the costs of the proposed Transfer incurred by the Management Stockholders and any Transferees to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the proposed Purchaser or by the Company.
​

​

​
to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or its Subsidiaries or any shareholder of the Company, as the case may be, unless such Person acquires knowledge of such potential transaction or corporate or other business opportunity in his or her capacity as director of the Company and (B) in the event that any shareholder of the Company (including any of its respective Affiliates but excluding the Management Stockholders) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate or other business opportunity for the Company or its Subsidiaries, such Person shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or its Subsidiaries or any other shareholder of the Company, and, notwithstanding any provision of the Shareholders Agreement to the contrary such Persons shall not be liable to the Company or its Subsidiaries or any other shareholder of the Company (or their respective Affiliates) for breach of any duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such Person, directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company or its Subsidiaries or any other shareholder of the Company unless such Person shall have acquired knowledge of such opportunity in his or her capacity as officer, director or employee of the Company.
(b)Each Management Stockholder (for itself and on behalf of the Company) hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)confirms that no shareholder of the Company (including the Majority Stockholders) has any duty to any other shareholder or to the Company or its Subsidiaries other than the specific covenants and agreements set forth in the Shareholders Agreement and this Agreement;
(ii)acknowledges and agrees that, (A) in the event of any conflict of interest between the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any shareholder of the Company (excluding the Management Stockholders), on the other hand, the shareholder (or any Shareholder Designee acting in his or her capacity as a director) may act in its best interests and (B) none of the shareholders of the Company (excluding the Management Stockholders) or any Shareholder Designee acting in his or her capacity as a director shall be obligated (1) to reveal to the Company or its Subsidiaries confidential information belonging to or relating to the business of such Person or (2) to recommend or take any action in its capacity as such shareholder or director, as the case may be, that prefers the interest of the Company or its Subsidiaries over the interest of such Person; and
(iii)waives any claim or cause of action against each other shareholder of the Company, each Shareholder Designee and each officer, employee, agent and Affiliate of any such Person that may from time to time arise in respect of a breach by any such Person of any duty or obligation disclaimed under Section 20(b)(i) or 20(b)(ii).
(c)Each Management Stockholder agrees that the waivers, limitations, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Section 20 shall not apply to any alleged claim or cause of action against the shareholders of the Company, any Shareholder Designee, or any of the shareholders’ respective Affiliates, or any of their respective employees, officers, directors, agents or authorized representatives, based upon the breach or nonperformance by such Person
​

​
of the Shareholders Agreement, this Agreement or any other agreement to which such Person is a party.
(d)The provisions of this Section 20, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the shareholders of the Company or any Shareholder Designee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Management Stockholders to replace such other duties and liabilities of such shareholders or such Shareholder Designee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(e)The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 20:
(i)“Shareholder Designee” shall mean each director of the Company that is designated by a Majority Stockholder.

(iii)“Juweel Associates” shall mean M. Gregory O’Hara and any natural Person who is a direct or indirect equity holder of, or a present or former director, officer or employee of, Certares L.P. or its Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Juweel Investors).
