In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other valid consideration the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.Employment.

1.1.    Term. The Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company, in each case pursuant to this Employment Agreement, for a period commencing on May 5, 2014 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2016 and (ii) the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment in accordance with Section 3 hereof (the “Term”).

1.2.    Duties. During the Term, the Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and such other or additional positions as an officer or director of the Company, and of such direct or indirect affiliates of the Company (“Affiliates”), as specified and directed by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), the Executive Chairman of the Board or any of their respective designees. In such positions, the Executive shall perform such duties, functions and responsibilities during the Term, as are specified from time to time by, and shall serve in such capacities at the pleasure of, the Company and the Board, subject to the terms hereof.

1.3.    Exclusivity. During the Term, the Executive shall devote all of his professional time and attention, exclusively on a full time basis, to the business and affairs of the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates, shall, to the best of his abilities, faithfully serve the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates, and shall in all material respects conform to and comply with the lawful and reasonable directions and instructions given to Executive by the Board, or its designee, consistent with Section 1.2 hereof. During the Term, the Executive shall use Executive’s best efforts to advance, promote and serve the interests of the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates, shall comply with all of the policies of the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, such policies with respect to legal compliance, conflicts of interest, confidentiality and business ethics, as are from time to time in effect), and shall not engage in any other business activity, whether or not such activity shall be engaged in for pecuniary profit other than the Executive’s participation on the University of Illinois Foundation Board, the Chemical Sciences Leadership Counsel of the University of Illinois, and such other board positions or charitable activities as may be approved in advance in writing from time to time by the Board. During the Term, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly render services to, or otherwise act in a business or professional capacity on behalf of or for the benefit of, any other Person (as defined below) as an employee, advisor, member of a board or similar governing body, independent contractor, agent,

consultant, representative or otherwise, whether or not compensated. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall not be construed to prevent the Executive from investing Executive’s personal, private assets as a passive investor in such form or manner as will not require any active services on the part of the Executive in the management or operation of the affairs of the companies, partnerships, or other business entities in which any such passive investments are made.

1.4.    Relocation.

(a)    The Executive agrees that, before August 1, 2014 Executive will establish and will thereafter maintain the Executive’s full-time permanent residency within 50 miles of the Company’s offices located in Sugarland, Texas (the “Company Office”) (the “Relocation”). In consideration of such agreement, the Company will pay to the Executive $85,000 (subject to applicable withholding) within five (5) business days of the Commencement Date (such amount, without regard to any withholding, the “First Relocation Payment”). The Relocation shall be considered complete on the date on which the Executive either (i) executes a lease of not less than 365 days on, or (ii) completes the purchase of, a residential home, apartment or condominium within 50 miles of the Company Office and occupies it as the Executive’s full-time permanent residence (the “Completion Date”). If the Completion Date occurs prior to August 1, 2014 and the Executive is employed by the Company on the Completion Date, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a payment of $40,000 (subject to applicable withholding) paid in a single lump sum cash payment within 5 business days of the Completion Date (such amount, without regard to any withholding, the “Second Relocation Payment,” and together with the First Relocation Payment, the “Relocation Payments”). Prior to the Relocation, the Executive shall, at his sole cost and expense, make such living arrangements as are necessary for him to work at the Company Office on a full-time basis beginning on the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Employment Agreement or the Company’s policies to the contrary, the Company shall not be responsible or obligated to pay for any expenses (x) for or in connection with the Relocation; or (y) for the Executive to commute between his current home and the Company Office or any costs regarding temporary accommodations or other expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of the Relocation not having yet occurred.

(b)    The Executive agrees that if, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Executive without Good Reason or by the Company for Cause, then the Executive will repay to the Company a pro-rata portion of the Relocation Payments that have been paid to the Executive as of the date of such termination. Such pro-rata portion shall be equal to an amount that is the product of such Relocation Payments, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the date of such termination and the date that is the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and the denominator of which is 365.

(c)    The repayment of any such pro-rata portion under subclause 1.4(b) above shall be paid to the Company by the Executive within 90 days after the last day of the Executive’s employment with the Company. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Company may withhold and set off any amount due from the Executive under this Employment Agreement from any amount(s) otherwise payable to the Executive as of the last day of employment

with the Company, provided that any such amounts are exempt from, or set off in a manner intended to comply, with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Section 2.Compensation.

2.1.    Salary. As compensation for the performance of the Executive’s services hereunder, during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive a salary at an annual rate of $475,000 which annual salary shall be prorated for any partial year at the beginning or end of the Term and shall accrue and be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies, as such salary may be adjusted upward (but not downward) by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole and absolute discretion (as adjusted, the “Base Salary”).

2.2.    Annual Bonus. For each completed fiscal year occurring during the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) with a target award equal to 125% of the Executive’s Base Salary. The Annual Bonus will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the applicable bonus plan. For fiscal year 2014, the target Annual Bonus shall be pro-rated for the portion of the year that the Executive served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The actual Annual Bonus payouts will be based on achievement of the individual and/or Partnership performance criteria established for the applicable fiscal year by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in its sole and absolute discretion. The Annual Bonus (or any pro-rated portion thereof), if any, payable to Executive for a fiscal year will be paid by the Company to the Executive in the immediately succeeding fiscal year only after the completion of the audit of the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and filing of the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to such fiscal year and, only after the Compensation Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, has approved the final achievement level and payout; provided, however, that if the Annual Bonus is payable pursuant to a plan that is intended to provide for the payment of bonuses that constitute “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Annual Bonus shall be paid at such time as is provided in the applicable plan. The Executive must be actively employed on the day of payout to be eligible for an Annual Bonus payment.

2.3.    Employee Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such employee benefit plans and programs of the Company as in effect from time to time on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company and subject to the terms and conditions of any such plans and programs.

2.5.    Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all commercially reasonable business out-of-pocket expenses that the Executive incurs during the Term in performing Executive’s duties under this Employment Agreement upon presentation of documentation and in accordance with the expense reimbursement policy of the Company as approved by the Board and in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise, except to the extent any expense or reimbursement described

in this Employment Agreement does not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, any expense or reimbursement described in this Employment Agreement shall meet the following requirements: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement provided to the Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement to the Executive in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which the Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit; and (iv) the reimbursements shall be made pursuant to objectively determinable and nondiscretionary Company policies and procedures regarding such reimbursement of expenses.

2.6.    Phantom Unit Awards. On the Commencement Date, the Executive and the Partnership shall enter into an Employee Phantom Unit Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix A, pursuant to which the Partnership shall grant to the Executive Phantom Units.

Section 3.Employment Termination.

3.1.    Termination of Employment. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for any reason during the Term, and the Executive may voluntarily resign Executive’s employment for any reason during the Term, in each case (other than a termination by the Company for Cause) at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party. Upon the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason (whether during the Term or thereafter), the Executive shall be entitled to any Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination or resignation, any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for completed fiscal years, any unused accrued PTO, any unreimbursed expenses in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof and any accrued and vested rights or benefits under any Company sponsored employee benefits plans payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”).

3.2.    Certain Terminations.

(a)    Termination by the Company Other Than For Cause or Disability; Resignation by the Executive for Good Reason. If during the Term (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than (x) for Cause or (y) due to the Executive’s death or Disability or (ii) the Executive resigns for Good Reason, then in addition to the Accrued Amounts, the Executive shall be entitled to (a) the continuation of Executive’s Base Salary (such continuation payments, the “Severance Payments”) at the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation (or, in the case of a resignation for Good Reason, at the rate in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason, if greater) for the lesser of (A) six (6) months and (B) the remainder of the Term (as applicable, the “Severance Period”), (b) a pro-rata Annual Bonus (“Pro-Rata Bonus”) for the fiscal year of termination based on achievement of the individual and/or Partnership performance criteria established for such fiscal year by the Compensation Committee (in its sole and absolute discretion) and determined by multiplying the amount of the Annual Bonus which would be due for the full fiscal year by a fraction,

the numerator of which is the number of days during the fiscal year of termination that Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365, which amount, if any, shall be payable by the Company to the Executive in the immediately succeeding fiscal year only after the completion of the audit of the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and filing of the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to such fiscal year of termination and, only after the Compensation Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, has approved the final achievement level and payout, and (c) subject to Executive’s timely election, and the availability, of continuation coverage under Part 6 of Title I of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended) and Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), and further subject to the Executive paying 100% of all premiums and other costs related to such continuation coverage, the continuation of such coverage under COBRA under the applicable Company group health plans as in effect from time to time for the applicable coverage continuation period under COBRA. The Company’s obligations to make the Severance Payments and the Pro-Rata Bonus shall be conditioned upon: (i) the Executive’s continued compliance with Executive’s obligations under Section 4 of this Employment Agreement and (ii) the Executive’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of a valid and enforceable release of claims arising in connection with the Executive’s employment and termination or resignation of employment with the Company (the “Release”) that becomes effective not later than sixty (60) days after the date of such termination or resignation of employment. The Company shall provide the form of the Release to the Executive within five (5) days following the date of the Executive’s termination or resignation of employment. In the event that the Executive breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 4 of this Employment Agreement, the Executive will immediately return to the Company any portion of the Severance Payments and the Pro-Rata Bonus that has been paid to the Executive pursuant to this Section 3.2(a). Subject to the foregoing and Section 3.2(b), the Severance Payments will commence to be paid to the Executive on the sixtieth (60^th) day following the Executive’s termination of employment.

(b)    Section 409A. To the extent applicable, this Employment Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and operated in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. If on the date of the Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h)) with the Company the Executive is a specified employee (as defined in Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(i)), no payment constituting the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b) and after application of the exemptions provided in Treasury Regulation §§1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) shall be made to the Executive at any time prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six (6) month period following the Executive’s separation from service, and (b) the Executive’s death, and any such amounts deferred during such period shall instead be paid in a lump sum to the Executive (or, if applicable, the Executive’s estate) on the first payroll payment date following expiration of such six (6) month period or, if applicable, the Executive’s death. For purposes of conforming this Employment Agreement to Section 409A of the Code, the parties agree that any reference to termination of employment, severance from employment, resignation from employment or similar terms shall mean and be interpreted as a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h). For purposes of applying Section 409A of the Code to this Employment Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), each payment that the Executive may be entitled to receive under this Employment Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct

payment and shall not collectively be treated as a single payment. None of the Company, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to pay or otherwise gross-up the Executive for any federal, state, local or foreign taxes relating to or arising with respect to any benefits, compensation or payment made under this Employment Agreement.

3.3.    Exclusive Remedy. The foregoing payments upon termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment shall constitute the exclusive severance payments due the Executive upon a termination or resignation of Executive’s employment under this Employment Agreement.

3.4.    Resignation from All Positions. Upon the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned, as of the date of such termination or resignation, from and with respect to all positions the Executive then holds as an officer, director, employee and member of the Board of Directors (and any committee thereof) of the Company and any of its Affiliates.

3.5.    Cooperation. For one (1) year following the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company upon reasonable request of the Board and to be reasonably available to the Company with respect to matters arising out of the Executive’s services to the Company and its Affiliates, provided, however, such period of cooperation shall be for three (3) years, following any such termination or resignation of Executive’s employment for any reason, with respect to tax matters involving the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such matters and, following the expiration of the Severance Period, shall compensate Executive for time spent on such matters at an hourly rate commensurate with his Base Salary as of the date of termination assuming two thousand (2,000) working hours per year.

4.1.    Unauthorized Disclosure.

(a)    During the Term and at all times thereafter, the Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company, Partnership and each of their respective Affiliates, all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data, including, without limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information and lists, software, trade secrets, sources of supplies and materials, designs, production and design techniques and methods, identity of investments, identity of contemplated investments, business opportunities, valuation models and methodologies, processes, technologies, and any other intellectual property relating to the business, or other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices, of the Company, Partnership and each of their respective Affiliates, and their respective businesses, and other forms of information considered by the Company, the Partnership and their respective Affiliates to be confidential and in the nature of trade secrets (i) obtained by the Executive during

the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates, and (ii) not otherwise in the public domain (collectively, “Confidential Information”).

(b)    The Executive also agrees to keep confidential and not to publish, post on his own or to disclose any personal information regarding any controlling Person of the Partnership or the Company (or any of their respective Affiliates), including, without limitation, Carl C. Icahn, or any of his Affiliates and their respective employees, and any member of the immediate family of any such Person (and all such personal information shall be deemed “Confidential Information” for the purposes of this Employment Agreement). The Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (acting at the direction of the Board): (i) except to the extent compelled pursuant to the order of a court or other body having jurisdiction over such matter or based upon the advice of counsel that such disclosure is legally required, communicate or divulge any Confidential Information to anyone other than the Company and those designated by the Company; or (ii) use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of his duties pursuant to this Employment Agreement. The Executive will assist the Company or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining a protective order, other appropriate remedy or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to the terms of this Employment Agreement. The Executive agrees not to disparage the Company, the Partnership, their respective officers and directors, Mr. Icahn, any Related Parties, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in each case during and/or after the Executive’s employment hereunder. Without limiting anything contained above, the Executive agrees and acknowledges that all personal and not otherwise public information about the Company, the Partnership and their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, all information regarding Icahn Enterprises LP (“IEP”), Carl C. Icahn, Mr. Icahn’s family, and employees of the Company, Partnership, IEP and their respective Affiliates) shall constitute Confidential Information for purposes of this Employment Agreement.

(c)    Upon termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall promptly supply to the Company all property, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards, surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible product or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the Executive during or prior to the Executive’s employment with the Company, and any copies thereof in Executive’s (or capable of being reduced to Executive’s) possession.

(d)    The Executive further agrees not to write, contribute to, or assist any other person in writing or creating, a book, film, broadcast, article, blog or any other publication (whether in print, electronic or any other form) about or concerning, in whole or in part, the Company, the Partnership, IEP, Mr. Icahn and his family members or any of the respective Affiliates and subsidiaries of any of the foregoing (as applicable), in any media, and not to publish or cause to be published in any media, any Confidential Information, and further agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose to any third party, including, but not limited to, newspapers, authors, publicists, journalists, bloggers, gossip columnists, producers, directors, script writers, media personalities, and the like, in any and all media or communication methods, any Confidential Information. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Executive agrees that during the Term and following

the termination of his employment with the Company, the sole and only disclosure or statement he will make about or concerning any or all of the Company, the Partnership, IEP, Mr. Icahn and his family members or any of the respective Affiliates and subsidiaries of any of the foregoing (as applicable) is to acknowledge that the Executive is or was employed by the Company (unless otherwise required by applicable law).

4.2.    Non-Competition. By and in consideration of the Company’s entering into this Employment Agreement and the payments to be made and benefits to be provided by the Company hereunder, and in further consideration of the Executive’s exposure to the Confidential Information of the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, during the Term and for a period of six (6) months thereafter (the “Restriction Period”), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a principal, agent, owner, stockholder, director, officer, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below), or otherwise howsoever own, operate, carry on or engage in the operation of or otherwise work for or assist the operation of, or have any financial interest in or provide, directly or indirectly, financial assistance to or lend money to or guarantee the debts or obligations of any Person carrying on or engaged in any Restricted Enterprise; provided, that in no event shall ownership of one percent (1%) or less of the outstanding securities of any class of any issuer whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 4.2, so long as the Executive does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage or operate the business of such issuer other than rights as a stockholder thereof. For purposes of this paragraph, “Restricted Enterprise” shall mean any Person that is actively engaged in any business which is either (i) in competition with the business of the Partnership, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates conducted during the preceding twelve (12) months (or following the Term, the twelve (12) months preceding the last day of the Term), or (ii) proposed to be conducted by the Partnership, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates in the Partnership’s, the Company’s or their respective Affiliate’s business plan as in effect at that time (or following the Term, the business plan as in effect as of the last day of the Term). During the Restriction Period, upon request of the Company, the Executive shall notify the Company of the Executive’s then-current employment status.

4.3.    Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Term and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) for employment, or otherwise interfere with, entice away or attempt to obtain or induce the withdrawal of, any person who is, or within twelve (12) months prior to the date of such solicitation was, an employee of the Partnership, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates.

4.5.    Extension of Restriction Period. The applicable restriction period shall be extended for a period of time equal to any period during which the Executive is in breach of any of Section 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 hereof.

4.6.    Proprietary Rights. Any and all inventions, processes, know-how, technologies, trade-secrets information, intellectual property, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by Executive, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and related to the business or activities of the Partnership, the Company or their respective Affiliates (whether or not on the Partnership’s, the Company’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ time or with the use of the Partnership’s, the Company’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ facilities or materials) (the “Developments”) shall be the property of the Partnership, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, and shall be promptly and fully disclosed by the Executive to the Company. Except to the extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. that are owned ab initio by the Partnership, the Company and/or their respective Affiliates, the Executive assigns all of Executive’s right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement. The Executive acknowledges that any rights in any developments constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the Partnership, the Company and/or their respective Affiliates as the Executive’s employer. Whenever requested to do so by the Company, and without further compensation therefor, the Executive shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the interests of the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates therein. These obligations shall continue beyond the end of the Executive’s employment with the Company with respect to the Developments, and shall be binding upon the Executive’s employers, assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. In connection with Executive’s execution of this Employment Agreement, the Executive has informed the Company in writing of any interest in any inventions or intellectual property rights that Executive holds as of the date hereof. If the Company is unable for any reason to obtain the Executive’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section 4.6, the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Partnership, the Company, their respective Affiliates, and their respective duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agent and attorney in fact to act for and in the Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive.

4.7.    Confidentiality of Agreement. Other than with respect to information required to be disclosed by applicable law, the parties hereto agree not to disclose the terms of this Employment Agreement to any Person; provided the Executive may disclose this Employment Agreement and/or any of its terms to the Executive’s immediate family, financial advisors and attorneys. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.7 to the contrary, the parties hereto (and each of their respective employees, representatives, or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Employment Agreement, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) related to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that this sentence shall not permit any Person to disclose the name of, or other information that would identify, any party to such transactions or to disclose confidential commercial information regarding such transactions.

4.8.    Remedies. The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 4 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates for which the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates would have no adequate remedy at law; the Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Executive, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Executive to return any Severance Payments and any Pro-Rata Bonus amounts paid by the Company back to the Company. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Partnership, the Company or their respective Affiliates from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the Partnership, the Company and their respective Affiliates because of the Executive’s access to Confidential Information and Executive’s material participation in the operation of such businesses.

Section 5.    Representation.

The Executive acknowledges, covenants, agrees, warrants and represents that: (i) he is not a party to any contract, nor is he subject to, or bound by any commitment, restrictive covenant or agreement, order, judgment, decree, law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or other restriction of any kind or character, which either would or purports to, prevent or restrict him from entering into and performing his obligations under this Employment Agreement free of any limitations; (ii) he is free to enter into the arrangements contemplated herein; (iii) he is not subject to any agreement or obligation that would limit his ability to act on behalf of the Company, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates; (iv) the termination of his existing employment, his entry into the employment contemplated herein and the performance of his duties in respect thereof, will not violate or conflict with any agreement or obligation to which he is subject; and (v) he has had an opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and obligations under this Employment Agreement and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.

Section 6.    Withholding.

All amounts paid to the Executive under this Employment Agreement during or following the Term shall be subject to withholding and other employment taxes imposed by applicable law.

Section 7.    Effect of Section 280G of the Code.

7.1.    Payment Reduction. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Employment Agreement to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive by the Company, any Affiliate of the Company, any Person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), or any Affiliate of such Person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Employment Agreement or otherwise (the “Payments”) constitutes “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), and if (ii) such aggregate Payments would, if reduced by all federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, including the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), be less than the amount the Executive would receive, after all taxes, if the Executive received aggregate Payments equal (as valued under Section 280G of the Code) to only three times the Executive’s “base amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), less $1.00, then (iii) such Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent necessary so that no Payments to be made or benefit to be provided to the Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that, solely to the extent applicable, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of the Payments provided for in this Employment Agreement in a manner intended to satisfy requirements of the “shareholder approval” exception to Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, such that payment may be made to the Executive of such Payments without the application of an Excise Tax. If the Payments are so reduced, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments (x) by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments which are not payable in cash (other than that portion of the Payments subject to clause (z) hereof), (y) then by reducing or eliminating cash payments (other than that portion of the Payments subject to clause (z) hereof) and (z) then by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments (whether payable in cash or not payable in cash) to which Treasury Regulation § 1.280G-1 Q/A 24(c) (or successor thereto) applies, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time.

7.2.    Determination of Amount of Reduction (if any). The determination of whether the Payments shall be reduced as provided in Section 7.1 hereof and the amount of such reduction shall be made at the Company’s expense by an accounting firm selected by the Company from among the four (4) largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and the Executive within ten (10) days after the Executive’s final day of employment. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive with respect to the Payments, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect

to any such payments and, absent manifest error, such Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive.
