In accordance with our discussions, set forth below are the terms and conditions of our offer of employment to you, subject only to our completion of satisfactory background and reference checks.

 

1. Start Date. We look forward to a start date of September 8, 2015 (the “Start Date”). Your employment with the Company shall be on an at-will basis, subject to the terms below. The terms of your employment hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.

 

2. Time Commitment to Duties. You shall devote all of your business time to the proper and efficient performance of services under this Agreement.

 

3. Annual Base Salary. Your initial Base Salary shall be at the rate of $550,000 per annum, commencing as of the Start Date. Your Base Salary may be increased (not decreased) from time to time by the Board.  Any such increased amount will be your “Base Salary” for all purposes thereafter under this Agreement.

 

4. Annual Bonus.  Commencing with the fiscal year of the Company that commences on or about January 1, 2016, your target annual incentive bonus amount for a particular fiscal year shall equal One Hundred Percent (100%) of your Annual Base Salary, and may range from Zero Percent (0%) to Two Hundred Percent (200%) of your Base Salary for that fiscal year. Annual performance objectives will be set by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

5. Guaranteed Bonus. Your bonus for 2015 will be guaranteed at $550,000, assuming you begin your employment on the Start Date, payable December 31, 2015.

 

6. Retirement, Welfare and Fringe Benefits.  You shall be entitled to participate in all employee savings and welfare benefit plans and programs, and fringe benefit plans and programs, made available by the Company to the Company’s employees generally, in accordance with the eligibility and participation provisions of such plans and as such plans or programs may be in effect from time to time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Business Expenses. You shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by you in connection with the performance of your duties hereunder in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures.

9. Equity Participation.  On the Start Date, you will be granted a Stock Option pursuant to the HMAN Group Holdings, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) on 8,435 Shares (defined below).  This Stock Option represents a projected intrinsic value of $12 million at the end of four years based on CCMP’s original base case financial projections and assumptions (and $17 million at the end of 5 years). This equals 1.4% of fully diluted shares with a strike price equal to CCMP’s original investment price (which is equal to Fair Market Value (defined below) on the date of grant), with such terms and conditions as are set forth in the form of Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement previously provided to you.

 

10. Start Date Restricted Stock Grant.  On the Start Date you will be granted 1,500 restricted stock units valued at $1.5 million based on CCMP’s original investment price. Fifty Percent (50%) of these units will vest on first anniversary of Start Date and 50% will vest on second anniversary of Start Date.  Vesting is subject to relocation of family to Ohio within the first 9 months of employment.  Upon vesting, except as provided below, your restricted stock units will be settled in Shares.  In the event of any dividend paid on Shares to stockholders of the Company prior to vesting, you will be entitled to a dividend equivalent payment on your restricted stock units in the same amount per Share as is paid to stockholders, which shall be paid as and when the underlying Shares of the restricted stock unit grant vest.  In the event of either an involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason on or after the earlier of (i) six months or (ii) the date upon which your family has relocated to Cincinnati, the unvested portion of the restricted stock unit grant will become immediately fully vested and settled in cash at the then-current Fair Market Value.

(b) No amount shall be payable upon a termination of your employment unless such termination constitutes a “separation from service” with the Company under Section 409A.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to you pursuant to such Sections herein shall be made in reliance upon the exception for certain involuntary terminations under a separation pay plan or as short-term deferral under Section 409A.

(d) To the extent any amount payable to you is subject to your entering into a release of claims with the Company and any such amount is a deferral of compensation under Section 409A and which amount could be payable in either of two taxable years for you, such payments shall be made or commence, as applicable, on January 15 (or any later date within seven (7) days after the release becomes irrevocable) of such later taxable year and shall include all payments that otherwise would have been made before such date.

 

18. Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement can only be changed, modified or amended in a writing that is signed by the Company and you and that specifically identifies the provision(s) of this Agreement that are being changed, modified or amended.  No waiver by either the Company or you at any time of any breach by the other party of any condition or provision of this Agreement will be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by you or the Board, as applies.

 

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall together constitute an original hereof and together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

officers and advisors and the officers and advisors of the Target and its subsidiaries available from time to time to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, as appropriate, at one or
more meetings of prospective Lenders. 
 (b) It is understood and agreed that KBCM will manage and control all aspects of the syndication
with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities, and STRH will manage and control all aspects of the syndication with respect to the Bridge Loan Facility, in each case in consultation with you and the other Lead Arrangers, including decisions as to the
selection of prospective Lenders and any titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders. Subject to clause (c) below and effective only upon the funding of
the Facilities (or in the case of the Bridge Loan Facility, the issuance of Notes in lieu thereof) on the Closing Date, in connection with the syndication of each of the Facilities, as each new Lender is added to any Facility, the commitments of
each of KeyBank, SunTrust Bank and Regions to such Facility shall be reduced pro rata based on their respective commitments to such Facility. It is understood that no Lender participating in the Facilities will receive compensation from you in order
to obtain its commitment, except on the terms contained herein and in the applicable Term Sheet. It is also understood and agreed that the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders will be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Lead
Arrangers. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the right of the Lead Arrangers to syndicate the Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto
or to assign their respective commitments hereunder, (i) no Initial Senior Lender and no Initial Bridge Loan Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder, including its obligation to fund its commitment to the
respective applicable Facilities on the Closing Date, in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of any of such Facilities, including its commitment in respect thereof, until funding of such Facilities (or, in the case of the
Bridge Loan Facility, the issuance of Notes in lieu thereof) on the Closing Date and (ii) each Initial Senior Lender and each Initial Bridge Loan Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its
commitments in respect of the respective applicable Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred, in each case unless you otherwise agree in
writing. Without limiting your obligations to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the commitments of the Initial Senior Lenders and the Initial Bridge Loan Lenders hereunder are not conditioned upon the
syndication of the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of the syndication of the Facilities, nor your compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 or any other provision of this Commitment
Letter, the Fee Letter or the Facilities Documentation (in each case, other than the provisions of the Conditions Annex), constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date. 

  
 - 6 - 

 (d) The provisions of this Section 4 shall remain in full force and effect until the
earliest of (i) 90 days following the Closing Date, (ii) the later of (x) completion of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) on or after the Closing Date, and (y) the completion of a Successful Bridge
Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) on or after the Closing Date, and (iii) the termination of this Commitment Letter pursuant to the last paragraph hereof other than as a result of the occurrence of the Closing Date (the
“Syndication Assistance Termination Date”). 
 (e) In consideration of the time and resources that the Commitment
Parties will devote to the Facilities, you agree that, until the occurrence of the Syndication Assistance Termination Date, you will not, and will cause your subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Acquisition) not to, solicit, initiate, entertain
or permit, or enter into any discussions in respect of, any offering, placement or arrangement of any competing indebtedness or bank financing by, or on behalf of, the Borrower, the Target or any of their respective subsidiaries. 

5. Information. 
 (a) You represent,
warrant and covenant that (i) all financial projections concerning the Borrower, the Target and their respective subsidiaries that have been or are hereafter made available to the Commitment Parties or any of the Lenders by you or any of your
subsidiaries or representatives (or on your or their behalf) or by the Target or any of its subsidiaries or representatives (or on their behalf) (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon
reasonable assumptions and (ii) all Information, other than Projections, which has been or is hereafter made available to the Commitment Parties or any of the Lenders by you or any of your representatives (or on your or their behalf) or, to the
best of your knowledge, by the Target or any of its subsidiaries or representatives (or on their behalf), in connection with any aspect of the Transactions, as and when furnished, is and will be complete and correct in all material respects and does
not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. You agree to furnish us with further and supplemental information from time to time
until the Closing Date and, if requested by us, for a reasonable period thereafter until the Syndication Assistance Termination Date as is necessary to complete the syndication of the Facilities so that the representations, warranties and covenants
in the immediately preceding sentence are correct on the Closing Date and, if applicable, on such later date on which the syndication of the Facilities is completed as if the Information were being furnished, and such representations, warranties and
covenants were being made, on such date. In issuing this commitment, and in arranging and syndicating the Facilities, each Commitment Party is and will be using and relying on the Information without independent verification thereof. 

(b) (i) You acknowledge that (A) the Commitment Parties, on your behalf, will make available Information and Information Materials to the

other Lenders, “Private Lenders”) may have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, “MNPI”) with respect
to you, the Target or any of your or its affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such entities’ securities. If requested, you
will assist us in preparing an additional version of the Information and Information Materials not containing MNPI (the “Public Information Materials”) to be distributed to prospective Public Lenders. 

(ii) Before distribution of any Information and Information Materials (A) to prospective Private Lenders, you shall
provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of such Information or Information Materials and (B) to prospective Public

distributions that such material should only be distributed to prospective Private Lenders: (A) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (B) notifications of
changes to the Facilities’ terms and (C) other materials intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of the Information and Information Materials, including drafts and final versions of definitive documents with respect
to the Facilities. If you advise us that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to Private Lenders, then the Commitment Parties will not distribute such materials to Public Lenders without further discussions with you. You agree
(whether or not any Information or Information Materials are marked “PUBLIC”) that Information and Information Materials made available to prospective Public Lenders in accordance with this Commitment Letter shall not contain MNPI. 

6. Expenses. By executing this Commitment Letter, you agree to reimburse the Commitment Parties from time to time on demand for all reasonable

respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same are incurred for) any and all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include internal counsel) with respect to the Debt Financing and the
Facilities, which shall be limited to one counsel for the Commitment Parties and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole) in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant
specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnified Parties similarly situated and taken as a whole) that may be incurred by or asserted or

the proceeds thereof, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by you, your
equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the Transaction is consummated. You also agree that no

from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Party as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Base Rate loans). To the extent that the Borrower does not so reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank on a pro rata
basis.

Loans (after any related increase of pricing on the Initial Term Loans) does not exceed the then-applicable yield on the Initial Term Loans by more than 50 basis points per annum (which, for the purposes of this clause (ii) shall be deemed to
include all upfront and similar fees and original issue discount (“OID”) payable to the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans (applied relative to the upfront and similar fees and OID paid on the Closing Date to the
Term Loan Lenders that provided the Initial Term Loans) and shall take into account any LIBOR floor but shall not include any arrangement, underwriting, structuring or similar fees); (iii) shall not have any financial covenant and (iv) may have
such other terms not inconsistent with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above as may be agreed among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans; provided that the Incremental

include any Excluded Assets (as defined below).
		
		  	“Collateral” means, collectively, all the present and after-acquired tangible and intangible assets and property of the Borrower and the Guarantors, which includes but is not limited to (a) a perfected
pledge of all the capital stock of each direct subsidiary held by the Borrower or any Guarantor (which pledge shall be limited to 65% in the case of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of all present and future
first-tier foreign subsidiaries of the Borrower or any Guarantor), and (b) perfected security interests in, and mortgages on, all inventory, accounts receivable, deposit accounts and securities accounts, general intangibles, insurance proceeds,

		  	Administrative Agent, developments in statutes and case law and certain legal due diligence (the provisions of such facility being referred to collectively as the “Documentation Principles”)
		
	INTEREST RATES:	  	As set forth in Addendum I.
		
	MATURITY:	  	The Initial Term Loans shall be subject to repayment according to the Scheduled Amortization (as defined below), with the final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, being due seven (7) years after the
Closing Date.
		
		  	The final maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility will occur on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Revolving Credit Maturity Date”), and the commitments with respect to the Revolving Credit
Facility will automatically terminate on such date.
		
	SCHEDULED AMORTIZATION:	  	The Initial Term Loan will be subject to quarterly amortization of principal equal to (a) on the last day of each fiscal quarter after the Closing Date (commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after the fiscal
quarter in which the Closing Date occurs), 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the Initial Term Loan and (b) on the maturity date for the Initial Term Loan, all remaining outstanding principal amounts, in each case as adjusted for any optional
or mandatory prepayments (collectively, the “Scheduled Amortization”).
		
	MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS:	  	In addition to the amortization set forth above, (a) commencing with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016 (and for each fiscal year thereafter), 50% of Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in the loan documentation) and with
leverage-based step-downs to 25% when the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio (to be defined in the loan documentation) is less than 3.00x but greater than or equal to 2.50x, and 0% when the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50x),
provided that voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Facility made during such fiscal year shall reduce Excess Cash Flow payments on a dollar-for-dollar basis for such applicable fiscal year (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any
voluntary prepayments funded with indebtedness), (b) 100% of all net cash proceeds from sales of property and assets and insurance and condemnation events of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (excluding asset sales in the ordinary course of business
and other thresholds and exceptions to be agreed upon in the loan documentation), subject to reinvestment in other assets useful in the business of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries within 365 days of such sale or insurance and condemnation
event or, if so committed to reinvestment pursuant to a legally binding contract within such 365-day period, reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period; and (c) 100% of all net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence after
the Closing Date of additional debt of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries to the extent not permitted under the loan documentation shall, in each case of clauses (a) through (c) above, be applied to the prepayment of the Senior Credit
Facilities. Mandatory prepayments shall

  
 A-6 

			
	 CONFIDENTIAL
	  	 EXHIBIT A

		  	be applied first, to the next four scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loan Facility in direct order and thereafter to the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loan Facility on a pro rata basis
and then to the Revolving Credit Facility (without a permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder).
		
		  	In addition, if for any reason the outstandings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceed the lesser of the maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall, no later than the next business day, prepay the loans
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
		
	OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS:	  	The Initial Term Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in the section entitled “Call Protection” below), subject to reimbursement of the Term Loan
Lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in the case of prepayment of LIBOR borrowings. Each such prepayment of the Initial Term Loans shall be applied to the principal installments thereof as directed by the Borrower.
		
		  	The Borrower may voluntarily prepay all or any part of the Revolving Credit Facility without premium, subject to concurrent payments of any applicable LIBOR or interest rate breakage costs.
		
	CALL PROTECTION:	  	Notwithstanding the foregoing section, if on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, a Repricing Event (as defined below) occurs, the Borrower will pay a premium (the “Call
Premium”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loan that is subject to such Repricing Event.
		
		  	As used herein, the term “Repricing Event” shall mean (a) any prepayment or repayment of the Initial Term Loan (or any portion thereof) with the proceeds of, or any conversion of the Initial
Term Loan (or any portion thereof) into, any new or replacement loans or similar bank indebtedness bearing interest with an “effective yield” (taking into account, for example, upfront fees, interest rate spreads, interest rate benchmark
floors and OID) less than the “effective yield” applicable to the Initial Term Loan subject to such event (as such comparative yields are determined by the Administrative Agent) and (b) any amendment to the loan documentation which reduces
the “effective yield” applicable to all or a portion of Initial Term Loan (it being understood that any Call Premium with respect to a Repricing Event shall apply to any required assignment by a non-consenting Term Loan Lender in
connection with any such amendment pursuant to so-called “yank-a-bank” provisions).

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings 

as specified therefor elsewhere in the commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) to which 

this Summary of Terms is attached. 

Extended Term Loans 
 On the Bridge
Loan Maturity Date, so long as no Conversion Default has occurred and is continuing, the outstanding Bridge Loans will be converted automatically into Extended Term Loans. The Extended Term Loans will be governed by the provisions of the Bridge Loan
Documents and, except as expressly set forth below, will have the same terms as the Bridge Loans. 
  

			
	INTEREST RATE:	  	The Extended Term Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the Total Cap.
		
		  	Overdue principal, interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate plus 2.00% per annum.
		
	MATURITY:	  	The Extended Term Loans will mature on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date.

 Exchange Notes 

At any time on or after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, upon five or more business days’ prior notice, the Extended Term Loans may, at the option of any
Lender, be exchanged for a principal amount of Exchange Notes equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans so exchanged (plus any accrued interest thereon not required to be paid in cash). The Borrower will issue
Exchange Notes under an indenture (the “Indenture”) that complies with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Borrower will appoint a trustee acceptable to the Lenders. 

 

			
	INTEREST RATE:	  	Each Exchange Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Total Cap.
		
		  	Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. Default interest will be payable on demand.
		
		  	Overdue principal, interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum.
		
	MATURITY:	  	The Exchange Notes will mature on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date.
		
	OPTIONAL REDEMPTION:	  	Exchange Notes will be non-callable until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (subject to a 35% “equity clawback” provision customary

  
 C-1 

			
	 CONFIDENTIAL
	  	 EXHIBIT C

to Commitment Letter

 
  

			
		  	for publicly traded high yield debt securities). Thereafter, each Exchange Note will be callable at par plus accrued interest plus a premium equal to 75% of the coupon on such Exchange Note, which premium shall decline to 50%,
then to 25% and then to zero, on each of the next three succeeding anniversaries of the Closing Date.
		
	CHANGE OF CONTROL:	  	The Borrower will be required to offer to repurchase the Exchange Notes following the occurrence of a “change of control” (to be defined in a manner customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities) at 101% of
the outstanding principal amount thereof.
		
	DEFEASANCE PROVISIONS:	  	Customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities.
		
	COVENANTS:	  	Customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities.
		
	EVENTS OF DEFAULT:	  	Customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities.
		
	TRANSFERABILITY:	  	If the Extended Term Loans are converted to Exchange Notes, the Borrower, upon request by any holder of such Exchange Notes or the Administrative Agent, shall be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such
Exchange Notes DTC-eligible.
		
	MODIFICATION:	  	Customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities.
		
	REGISTRATION RIGHTS:	  	Within 270 days after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower shall file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause such shelf registration
statement to be declared effective within 90 days of such filing and to keep such shelf registration statement effective, with respect to resales of the Exchange Notes, for as long as it is required or requested by the holders to resell the Exchange
Notes. Upon failure to comply with the requirements of the registration rights agreement (a “Registration Default”), the Borrower shall pay liquidated damages to each holder of Exchange Notes with respect to the first 90-day
period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default in an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the principal amount of Exchange Notes held by such holder. The amount of the liquidated damages will
increase by an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the principal amount of Exchange Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated
damages for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of liquidated damages payable hereunder is in addition (and not otherwise subject) to any other interest rate caps or limitations contained in the Fee
Letter or otherwise.
