3. Sections 6(b), 6(c), 6(d) and 6(e) of the Agreement are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following: 

"(b) Release and Waiver. As a condition to receiving benefits under either Section 6(c) (other than Section 6(c)(i) to the extent required by law) or Section 6(d) (other than Section 6(d)(i) to the extent required by law) herein, Executive shall be obligated to execute a general release of claims in favor of the Company, its current and former affiliates and shareholders, and the current and former directors, officers, employees, and agents of the Company in a form acceptable to the Company. The general release of claims must be provided to the Company prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following Executive's Qualifying Termination Date; provided that the Company provides the form of release to the Executive within fifteen (15) days following the Qualifying Termination Date.

(c) Qualifying General Severance Termination. In the event Executive's employment is terminated in a Qualifying General Severance Termination, the Company shall provide Executive with the following:

(i)A lump‐sum amount paid promptly following Executive's Qualifying Termination Date equal to the Executive's unpaid Base Salary, accrued vacation pay, unreimbursed business expenses, and all other items earned by and owed to the Executive through and including the Qualifying Termination Date.

(ii)An amount equal to the product of (A) the Executive's General Severance Multiple and (B) the sum of the following: (1) the Executive's Termination Base Salary and (2) the Executive's annual target bonus opportunity in the year of termination, paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company's customary payroll practices over the [twenty-four (24)] [OR] [eighteen (18)] month period commencing on the first payroll date following the sixtieth (60th) calendar day after the Qualifying Termination Date. The term 'General Severance Multiple' shall mean [two (2)] [OR] [one and one-half (1.5)]. 

(iii)A lump sum amount, if any, paid within two and one half months after the end of the calendar year that includes Executive's Qualifying Termination Date, equal to the actual bonus that would have been payable to the Executive for the calendar year that includes the Termination Date based on actual performance if the Executive had remained employed through the end of such calendar year; provided however, that such amount shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis based on the number of days the Executive was actually employed during the bonus plan year in which the Qualifying General Severance Termination occurs. 

(iv)Group health, dental and life insurance benefits for [twenty-four (24)] [OR] [eighteen (18)]  months following the Qualifying Termination Date to the extent that such benefits were in effect for the Executive and his family as of the Qualifying Termination Date, subject to the Executive's timely election of group health and/or dental continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or similar state laws and timely payment of his share of the applicable premiums at the same rate (if any) he was paying before the Qualifying Termination Date.  Benefit continuation under this paragraph shall be concurrent with any coverage under the Company's plans pursuant to COBRA or similar state laws.  Such benefits shall be terminated to the extent permitted by COBRA (for health and dental coverage) at such time as Executive has obtained new employment and is covered by benefits which in the aggregate are comparable to such continued benefits.  The Executive shall promptly notify the Company when he becomes employed after the Qualifying Termination Date and shall provide such reasonable cooperation as the Company requests with respect to determining whether the Executive is covered by comparable benefits with such new employer.  If provision of health or dental benefits under this paragraph would subject the Company or its benefits arrangements to a penalty or adverse tax treatment, then the Company shall provide a cash payment to the Executive in an amount reasonably determined by the Company to be equivalent to the portion of the COBRA premiums that the Company would have paid for such benefits.

(v)Outplacement services through the provider of the Company's choice with the total cost not to exceed $50,000. In no event shall such outplacement services continue for more than two (2) years following Executive's Qualifying Termination Date.

2

(i)A lump‐sum amount paid promptly following Executive's Qualifying Termination Date equal to the Executive's unpaid Base Salary, accrued vacation pay, unreimbursed business expenses, and all other items earned by and owed to the Executive through and including the Termination Date. 

(ii)A lump‐sum amount paid on the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following Executive's Qualifying Termination Date equal to the product of (A) the Executive's Change in Control Severance Multiple and (B) the sum of the following: (1) the Executive's Termination Base Salary and (2) the Executive's annual target bonus opportunity in the year of termination (or, if more favorable to the Executive, the Executive's annual target bonus opportunity for the year of the Change in Control); provided that, to the extent such amount, together with any other amounts required to be aggregated with such amount under Code Section 409A, exceeds the amount that is exempt from Code Section 409A, such excess shall be paid in installments on the schedule provided for in the Agreement prior to its amendment to the extent required for compliance with Code Section 409A, subject to any six-month delay required by Code Section 409A. The term 'Change in Control Severance Multiple' shall mean [three (3)] [OR] [two and one-half (2.5)] [OR] [two (2)]. 

(iii)A lump‐sum amount paid on the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following Executive's Qualifying Termination Date, equal to the Executive's then current target bonus opportunity established under the bonus plan in which the Executive is then participating, for the plan year in which a Qualifying Change in Control Termination occurs (or, if the target bonus opportunity has not yet been established for such plan year, the target bonus opportunity for the prior year), adjusted on a pro rata basis based on the number of days the Executive was actually employed during the bonus plan year in which the Qualifying Change in Control Termination occurs; provided that, to the extent such amount, together with any other amounts required to be aggregated with such amount under Code Section 409A, exceeds the amount that is exempt from Code Section 409A, such excess shall be paid in installments on the schedule provided for in the Agreement prior to its amendment to the extent required for compliance with Code Section 409A, subject to any six-month delay required by Code Section 409A. 

(iv)A lump‐sum amount paid on the sixtieth (60th) calendar days following Executive's Qualifying Termination Date equal to the product of (i) the Executive's Change in Control Severance Multiple (as defined in 6(d)(ii)) and (ii) the employer contributions for the Executive's medical and life insurance coverage in effect for the year of termination; provided that, to the extent such amount, together with any other amounts required to be aggregated with such amount under Code Section 409A, exceeds the amount that is exempt from Code Section 409A, such excess shall be paid in installments on the schedule provided for in the Agreement prior to its amendment to the extent required for compliance with Code Section 409A, subject to any six-month delay required by Code Section 409A. For purposes of calculating this benefit, the employer contribution should be based on the same coverage level and cost to the Executive as in effect immediately prior to the Executive's Qualifying Termination Date.

(v)Outplacement services through the provider of the Company's choice with the total cost not to exceed $50,000. In no event shall such outplacement services continue for more than two (2) years following Executive's Qualifying Termination Date.

(a)    Noncompetition. Executive acknowledges that he has obtained and will continue to obtain during employment with the Company, knowledge of Protected Information and Trade Secrets, and had personal involvement in the Company's customer relationships, that would, in the event Executive were to unfairly use or disclose that Protected Information or Trade Secrets or employ that personal involvement on behalf of a competitor of the Company or of any Applicable Affiliate, cause irreparable harm to the Company and/or the Applicable Affiliates.  In return for at-will employment with the Company, and in consideration of the Company's providing this Agreement as amended, during the Executive's employment and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Executive's Qualifying Termination Date (the "Noncompete Period"), the Executive shall not directly or indirectly (as a director, officer, employee, shareholder, investor, partner, consultant or otherwise) provide services under circumstances in which (i) disclosure or use of Protected Information or Trade Secrets known to Executive or (ii) use of Executive's personal involvement in the Company's or any Applicable Affiliate's customer relationships would reasonably be considered competitively beneficial  to any other company, business, person or entity (including the Executive) who/which: (A) produces or sells, or plans to produce or sell, Restricted U.S. Products/Services within the continental United States, (B) produces or sells, or plans to produce or sell, Restricted Foreign Products in any country of the world in which the Applicable Foreign Affiliates sold products or services during the twenty-four (24) months prior to Executive's Qualifying Termination Date, or (C) produces or sells, or plans to produce or sell, Other Restricted Products/Services in either the continental United States or in any country of the world in which the Applicable Foreign Affiliates sold products or services during the twenty-four (24) months prior to Executive's Qualifying Termination Date.
Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive's ownership of securities of a corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the national over-the-counter market in an amount that does not exceed (together with any indirect or attributed ownership) five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any such corporation.

(b)    Nonsolicitation of Customers.  For a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Executive's Qualifying Termination Date, the Executive shall not solicit, for the purpose of selling Restricted Products/Services, any customer of the Company:  

(i)to whom/which the Company or its Applicable Affiliates have sold or provided Restricted Products/Services during the twenty-four (24) months prior to the Executive's Qualifying Termination Date; and 

(ii)with respect to whom/which the Executive received Protected Information or had substantial personal involvement in the customer relationship during the twenty-four (24) months prior to the Executive's Qualifying Termination Date.

(c)    Nonsolicitation of Employees and Contractors. During the Executive's employment and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Executive's Qualifying Termination Date, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly:

(i)solicit any individual who is employed or engaged as a contractor by the Company or the Applicable Affiliates and is someone with whom the Executive had personal contact or about whom Executive has learned (by name or by role) because of Executive's access to Protected Information during the twenty-four (24) months prior to the Executive's Qualifying Termination Date (an "Employee/Contractor") for employment with, or as a provider of services to, a company, business, entity or person who competes with the Company or the Applicable Affiliates;

(ii)engage in discussions encouraging any Employee/Contractor to terminate his/her employment or engagement with the Company or any Applicable Affiliates; 

(iii)in any way prompt any Employee/Contractor to diminish the services he/she/it provides to the Company or any Applicable Affiliates; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall: 

		
	(x)
	prohibit the Executive from offering employment to, or having an independent contractor relationship with, any such person who initiates employment or independent contractor relationship discussions with Executive's then-current employer without any direct or indirect solicitation or involvement by Executive; or 

4

		
	(y)
	during the term of the Executive's employment with the Company, restrict the Executive from encouraging any Employee/Contractor of the Company or any Applicable Affiliate to resign or terminate his/her/its contractual relationship with the Company or any Applicable Affiliate, or from terminating any Employee/Contractor of the Company or any Applicable Affiliates, provided that such discussions are in the best interest of the Company or the Applicable Affiliates. 

(d)    Confidentiality. The Company has advised the Executive and the Executive acknowledges that it is the policy of the Company to maintain as secret and confidential all Protected Information and that Protected Information has been and will be developed at substantial cost and effort to the Company and the Applicable Affiliates. The Executive shall not, at any time during the Executive's employment with the Company or its Affiliate, and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Executive's Qualifying Termination Date, directly or indirectly, divulge, furnish, or make accessible to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity (otherwise than as may be required in the regular course of the Executive's employment), any Protected Information, or cause any such Protected Information of the Company or an Applicable Affiliate to enter the public domain. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth above, the Executive understands and agrees to maintain the secrecy of, and not to misappropriate, threaten to misappropriate or provide any assistance to anyone seeking to ascertain or reverse engineer, any Trade Secret of the Company or any Applicable Affiliates without limitation, except as provided under applicable trade secret law.  This Agreement is in addition to and not in lieu of any obligations to protect the Company's Trade Secrets and Protected Information pursuant to the Company's written policies concerning Trade Secrets and Protected Information.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to discourage or restrict the Executive from reporting any theft of Trade Secrets pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 ("DTSA") or other applicable state or federal law. The DTSA prohibits retaliation against an employee because of whistleblower activity in connection with the disclosure of Trade Secrets, so long as any such disclosure is made either (i) in confidence to an attorney or a federal, state, or local government official and solely to report or investigate a suspected violation of the law, or (ii) under seal in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit, curtail or diminish the Company's statutory rights under the DTSA, any applicable state law regarding trade secrets or common law.

Recognizing the specialized nature of the Company and the Applicable Affiliates, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the duration, geographic scope and activity restrictions of the covenants set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 9 are reasonable, are necessary to protect the Company's legitimate business interests, do not violate public policy, and will not prevent the Executive from earning a living. 

(f)    Return of Information and Other Property. On or before the last day of the Executive's employment with the Company (or any other time upon the Company's request), Executive shall deliver to the Company the original and all copies of all documents, records and property of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, telephones, computers, automobiles and other tangible personal property and any records, documents or property created by Executive that are in Executive's possession or control and that are the property of the Company or any of its Affiliates, except as authorized in writing or pursuant to the Company's then existing policies permitting withdrawing Executive to retain computers, cell phones or other items of Company property for their personal use. Executive further agrees that, within ten (10) days following the Qualifying Termination Date, the Executive shall deliver to the Company a certificate to the effect that all Protected Information and Company Trade Secrets stored on any computer owned by the Executive or owned by any person residing with the Executive have been deleted."

5

whatsoever which Executive now has or may in the future obtain for infringement of any rights assigned under this Agreement or otherwise."

"(c) Nondisparagement. At all times, Executive agrees not to disparage the Company or otherwise make comments harmful to the Company's reputation.  However, nothing in this provision will be construed to prevent Executive from (i) testifying in response to a lawfully served subpoena, giving truthful testimony under oath, or otherwise complying with a lawful court or agency order; (ii) filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (or cross-filing any equivalent fair employment charge with any state or local fair employment agency); (iii) cooperating with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any federal, state, or local fair employment agency; or (iv) filing a complaint or cooperating with any government or law enforcement agency."

"(n)    Code Section 409A.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A. This Agreement will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Agreement to fail to satisfy Code Section 409A will have no force and effect until amended to comply therewith (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A).

In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid and each installment payment shall be construed as a separate, identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. With respect to expenses eligible for reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement: (i) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in another taxable year; and (ii) any reimbursements of such expenses shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expenses were incurred, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to reimbursement does not provide for a "deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Code Section 409A."

[For Mr. Fowler only:  New Section 13(o) is added:

"(o)    Notices.  Any notice, request, or consent required or given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and sent by same-day hand-delivery, recognized overnight courier, charges prepaid, or by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid:  (i) if to the Company, then to:  Quad/Graphics, Inc., ATTN: General Counsel, N61 W23044 Harry's Way,

Matti Masanovich
Dear Matti:
I am very pleased to extend an offer for you to join General Cable Corporation (the Company) as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reporting to me.  We look forward to having you join our dynamic Strategic Leadership Team (SLT) as we lead General Cable through an exciting transformation.  This is an excellent time for you to join the Company, as we begin our strategic roadmap to the future.
Your start date will be mutually agreed upon and is expected to be in the near future (your actual start date is referred to as the “Effective Date”).  Your position will be based in Highland Heights, Kentucky, with domestic and international travel to other locations as necessitated by the Company’s business.
Base Salary
Your annual base salary will be $475,000, and will be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures. Your annual salary shall be subject to review each year by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) at the same time as it reviews other executive officers’ compensation.  Your annual base salary may be adjusted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, based on my recommendation.
Annual Incentive Compensation
You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”).  Your annual AIP target will be 70% of your base salary (i.e., $332,500).  The maximum AIP payout is 200% of target.  The Compensation Committee will establish the performance goals for the AIP each year.  Payment of any AIP bonus will be made at the same time as AIP bonuses are paid to other executive officers of the Company.  The AIP is subject to change in the Board’s discretion.
Long Term Incentive Compensation 
You shall be eligible to participate in the General Cable Stock Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”).  Your annual long-term incentive compensation target will be 225% of your annual salary (i.e., $1,068,750), commencing in 2017.  The Equity Plan is subject to change in the Board’s discretion.  You will be provided with copies of the relevant Equity Plan documents, which will govern the terms of these awards. 
Upon the Effective Date, the Company will grant you the following equity grants for 2016 under the Equity Plan, upon approval by the Compensation Committee:
		
	1.
	Restricted Stock Units with respect to shares of Common Stock, with a target value of $139,063.

		
	2.
	Performance Stock Units with respect to shares of Common Stock, with a target value of $89,063.

Benefits
The Company offers a comprehensive benefits program that includes a 401(k) savings plan including company matching and retirement contributions, medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans, short and long term disability insurance, and a deferred compensation plan including a benefits equalization component.  You will be eligible for these programs according to the terms of the plans.  
You will be eligible for three weeks of paid vacation annually during your employment, which you will begin accruing on the Effective Date, in addition to the Company’s paid holidays, subject to the terms of the Company’s vacation and paid time off policies and procedures.
The Company shall have the right, from time to time and in its sole discretion, to modify and amend all plans and benefits provided to its employees.
Cash Award
To assist with your transition, the Company will provide you with a one-time, cash payment of $50,000, subject to applicable taxes and withholdings.  The sign-on award will be paid to you within fifteen (15) days of the Effective Date and is subject to recoupment by the Company, on a pro-rata basis, if you do not remain employed for at least three (3) years following the Effective Date.
Relocation and Temporary Living Accommodation  
You will be entitled to relocation benefits for you and your immediate family’s move to the greater Cincinnati area in accordance with the Company’s Tier I Relocation Policy, provided that you remain employed by the Company through the applicable reimbursement date; as part of your transition, the Company will pay for temporary housing (property rental and utilities) in the greater Cincinnati area for up to nine months. You will receive tax assistance consistent with Company practice for certain relocation expenses permissible by law.  Specific details are provided in the Tier I Relocation Policy document, which will be provided to you.
Executive Severance Plan
You shall be an Eligible Employee under the General Cable Corporation 2014 Executive Officer Severance Benefit Plan, as in effect from time to time (the “Executive Severance Plan”), and, accordingly, you shall be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with the terms of the Executive Severance Plan.  
Recovery of Incentive Compensation  
You agree that all incentive compensation, including cash and equity awards payable to you under this offer letter or otherwise, shall be subject to any applicable clawback policy adopted by the Board and all other applicable Company policies, consistent with applicable law.
Section 409A

With respect to payments that are subject to section 409A, (i) amounts that are payable upon your termination of employment may only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A, and shall be subject to the six month delay applicable to specified employees, if applicable, (ii) each payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of section 409A, (iii) in no event may you, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment, and (iv) reimbursements and other in-kind benefits shall be made in accordance with the requirements of section 409A.
