During the Term, the Executive shall serve in such position as the Board or Management may from time to time direct. During the Term, the Executive may engage in outside activities, provided those activities do not conflict with the duties and responsibilities enumerated hereunder, and provided, further, that the Executive receives written approval in advance from Management for any outside business activity that may require significant expenditure of the Executive’s time in which the Executive plans to become involved, whether or not such activity is pursued for profit. The Executive shall be excused from performing any services hereunder during periods of temporary incapacity and during vacations in accordance with the Corporation’s disability and vacation policies.

1.3 Place of Performance. The Executive shall be employed at the principle offices of the Corporation located in London, England; provided, however, that the Corporation reserves the right in its sole discretion to end Executive’s international assignment in London, England at any time and to repatriate him to New York, New York. Executive shall be required to travel both within and outside London, England on the Corporation’s business.

1.4 Compensation and Related Matters.

(a)Base Compensation. In consideration of his services during the Term, the Corporation shall pay the Executive cash compensation at an annual rate of not less than one million and fifty thousand dollars ($1,050,000) (“Base Compensation”), less applicable withholdings. Executive’s Base Compensation shall be subject to such increases as may be approved by the Board or Management. The Base Compensation shall be payable as current salary, in installments not less frequently than monthly, and at the same rate for any fraction of a month unexpired at the end of the Term.

(b)Bonus. During the Term, the Executive shall have the opportunity to earn an annual bonus in accordance with any annual bonus program the Corporation maintains that would be applicable to the Executive and in accordance with the Term Sheet.

(c)Stock Awards. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Xxxxx Lauren Corporation 2010 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan or any successor thereto (the “Incentive Plan”). All equity award grants to the Executive, if any, including but not limited to the grants set forth in the Term Sheet, are governed by the terms of the Incentive Plan and are subject, in all cases, to approval by the Compensation & Organizational Development Committee of the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

(d)Auto Allowance. During the Term, the Corporation shall pay the Executive a transportation allowance in the amount of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month, payable consistent with the Corporation's normal payroll practices.

(e)Expenses. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in performing services hereunder, including all reasonable expenses of travel on business, provided that such expenses are incurred and accounted for in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Corporation.

(f)Vacations. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to the number of vacation days in each fiscal year, and to compensation in respect of earned but unused vacation days, determined in accordance with the Corporation’s vacation program.

(g)Other Benefits.

The Executive shall also be entitled to the benefits and allowances listed in Exhibit B to this Agreement in connection with his assignment to London (the “London Assignment”), until such time as the London Assignment ends, which shall be determined by the Corporation in its sole and complete discretion. The Corporation shall not make any changes in such plans or programs that would adversely affect the Executive’s benefits thereunder, unless such change occurs pursuant to a plan or program applicable to other similarly situated employees of the Corporation and does not result in a proportionately greater reduction in the rights or benefits of the Executive as compared with other similarly situated employees of the Corporation. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, nothing paid to the Executive under any plan or program presently in effect or made available in the future shall be in lieu of the Base Compensation or any bonus payable under Sections 1.4(a) and 1.4(b) hereof.

(h)Payments upon Transfer. In the event termination payments become payable under the laws of any jurisdiction upon Executive’s repatriation following the London Assignment; or (ii) transfer to accept a new assignment with any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation, Executive agrees to forfeit in writing his rights to all such payments or, if Executive receives any such payments, Executive agrees to return them to the Corporation immediately. If for any reason Executive decides not to forfeit and/or return such payments, the Corporation reserves the right to offset fully the value of any such termination payments from any other form of compensation due to the Executive, including, without limitation, any compensation due under Sections 2.3(a)(i) or 4.1(a)(i) of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

2.1 Termination of Employment. The Executive’s employment may terminate prior to the expiration of the Term under the following circumstances:

(a)Without Cause. The Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the Corporation notifying the Executive that his services will no longer be required.

(b)Death. The Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the Executive’s death.

(c)Disability. If, as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive shall have been absent and unable to perform the duties hereunder on a full-time basis for an entire period of six consecutive months, the Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Corporation following such six-month period.

(d)Cause. The Corporation may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean:

(i)failure by the Executive to perform the duties of the Executive hereunder (other than due to disability as defined in 2.1(c)), provided that the conduct described in this Section 2.1(d)(i) shall not constitute Cause unless and until such failure by Executive to perform his duties hereunder has not been cured to the satisfaction of the Corporation, in its sole discretion, within thirty (30) days after notice of such failure has been given by the Corporation to Executive; or

(ii)an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, breach of fiduciary duty, dishonesty, or any other misconduct or any violation of law (other than a traffic violation) committed by the Executive; or

(iii)any action by the Executive causing damage to or misappropriation of Corporation assets; or

(iv)the Executive’s wrongful disclosure of confidential information of the Corporation or any of its affiliates; or

(v)the Executive’s breach of Section 5.7 herein or the Executive’s engagement in any competitive activity which would constitute a breach of this Agreement and/or of the Executive’s duty of loyalty; or

(vi)the Executive’s breach of any employment policy of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, conduct relating to falsification of business records, violation of the Corporation’s code of business conduct & ethics, harassment, creation of a hostile work environment, excessive absenteeism, insubordination, violation of the Corporation’s policy on drug & alcohol use, or violent acts or threats of violence; or

(vii)performance by the Executive of his employment duties in a manner deemed by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, to be grossly negligent; or

(viii)the commission of any act by the Executive, whether or not performed in the workplace, which subjects or, if publicly known, would be likely to subject the Corporation to public ridicule or embarrassment, or would likely be detrimental or damaging to the Corporation’s reputation, goodwill, or relationships with its customers, suppliers, vendors, licensees or employees.

(e)Voluntary Termination. The Executive may voluntarily terminate the Executive’s employment with the Corporation at any time, with or without Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean a termination of employment by the Executive within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of (A) a material diminution in, or material adverse alteration to, Executive’s title, base salary, or position, provided that a change in reporting relationship, or the removal of particular business units or functions from Executive’s purview, responsibility or management shall not constitute a material diminution in or material adverse alteration to the Executive’s “position” for this purpose, (B) the relocation of the Executive’s principal office outside the area which comprises a fifty (50) mile radius from the Host location as provided in his international assignment terms as may be in effect from time to time, which is presently London, England, or from New York City, or from Geneva, Switzerland, or from such other location as may be mutually agreed by the parties to become the location of Executive’s principal office, or (C) a failure of the Corporation to comply with any material provision of this Agreement, provided that the events described in clauses (A), (B), and (C) above shall not constitute Good Reason (1) until the Executive provides written notice to the Corporation of the existence of such material diminution, material alteration, relocation or failure, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days of its occurrence and (2) unless such material diminution, material alteration, relocation or failure, as the case may be, has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such noncompliance has been given by the Executive to the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, any decision by the Corporation to terminate the London Assignment and repatriate Executive to the New York City metropolitan area and its environs shall not constitute Good Reason, and any failure by Executive to repatriate to the New York City metropolitan area and its environs by the date determined by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, shall constitute a voluntary termination by the Executive without Good Reason.

2.2 Date of Termination. The date of termination shall be:

(a)if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive’s death, the date of the Executive’s death;

(b)if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s disability pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or by the Corporation pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) or 2.1(d), the date specified by the Corporation; and

(c)if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive, the day after the last day of the Notice Period, or, if the Notice Period is waived in whole or in part by the Corporation, the date specified by the Corporation.

2.3 Effect of Termination of Employment.

(a)If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Corporation pursuant to Section 2.1(a), or if the Executive resigns for Good Reason pursuant to Section 2.1(e), the Executive shall only be entitled to the following:

(i)Severance. Subject to Section 2.3(a)(v) and Section 4.1(a) hereof, the Corporation shall: (a) beginning with the first payroll period following the 30^th day following the date of termination of Executive’s employment,

continue to pay the Executive, in accordance with the Corporation’s normal payroll practice, his Base Compensation, as in effect immediately prior to such termination of employment, for the eighteen-month period commencing on the date of such termination (the “Severance Period”), provided that the initial payment shall include Base Compensation amounts for all payroll periods from the date of termination through the date of such initial payment; and (b) pay to the Executive, on the last business day of the Severance Period, an amount equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of Executive’s Base Compensation. Under no circumstances shall the Executive be entitled to any bonus payment for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to receive any severance benefits under this Section 2.3(a)(i), the Executive must sign and not timely revoke a release and waiver of claims against the Corporation, its successors, affiliates, and assigns, in a form acceptable to the Corporation on or prior to the 30th day following the date of termination of Executive’s employment.

(ii)Stock Awards. The Executive’s rights with respect to any equity award grants provided to the Executive by the Corporation shall be governed by the provisions of the Corporation’s Incentive Plan and the respective award agreements, if any, under which such awards were granted, except as provided in Section 4.1(a).

(iii)Welfare Plan Coverages. The Executive shall continue to participate during the Severance Period in any group medical or dental insurance plan he participated in prior to the date of his termination, under substantially similar terms and conditions as an active employee; provided that participation in such group medical or dental insurance plan shall only continue for as long as permitted under COBRA and further, shall correspondingly cease at such time as the Executive (a) becomes eligible for a future employer’s medical and/or dental insurance coverage (or would become eligible if the Executive did not waive coverage) or (b) violates any of the provisions of Article III as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may not continue to participate in such plans on a pre-tax or tax-favored basis.

(iv)Retirement Plans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is specifically provided that the Executive shall not accrue additional benefits under any pension plan of the Corporation (whether or not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) during the Severance Period.

(v)Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or Section 4.1(a) unless the Executive’s termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury Regulations. If the Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the rules and regulations issued thereunder (the “Code”), then no payment that is payable under Sections 2.3(a)(i) or 4.1(a) hereof (the “Severance Payment”) on account of Executive’s “separation from service” shall be made before the date that is at least six months after the Executive’s “separation from service” (or if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death), but rather all such payments shall be made on the date that is five business days after the expiration of that six month period, if and to the extent that the Severance Payment constitutes deferred compensation (or may be nonqualified deferred compensation) under Section 409A of the Code and such deferral is required to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, no portion of the Severance Payment shall be delayed for six months after the Executive’s “separation from service” if such portion (x) constitutes a “short term deferral” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(a)(4) of the Department of Treasury Regulations, or (y) (A) it is being paid due to the Corporation’s termination of the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive’s termination of employment for Good Reason; (B) it does not exceed two times the lesser of (1) the Executive’s annualized compensation from the Corporation for the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the termination of the Executive’s employment occurs, or (2) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the Executive’s employment terminates; and (C) the payment is required under this Agreement to be paid no later than the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurs a “separation from service.” For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the Executive’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. To the extent that any reimbursement of any expense under Section 1.4(e) or in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement are deemed to constitute taxable compensation to the Executive, such amounts will be reimbursed or provided no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of any such expenses reimbursed or in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect the expenses or in-kind benefits eligible for reimbursement or payment in any subsequent year, and the Executive’s right to such reimbursement or payment of any such expenses will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. The determination of whether the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of the Executive’s separation from service shall be made by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder (including without limitation Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and any successor provision thereto).

(b)If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or disability, pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) or 2.1(c), the Executive (or the Executive’s designee or estate) shall only be entitled to whatever welfare plans benefits are available to the Executive pursuant to the welfare plans the Executive participated in prior to such termination,

and whatever stock awards may have been provided to the Executive by the Corporation the terms of which shall be governed by the provisions of the Corporation’s Incentive Plan and the respective award agreements, if any, under which such stock awards were provided.

(c)If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Corporation for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason (as defined in Section 2.1(e)), the Executive shall receive only that portion of the Executive’s then current Base Compensation payable through the Executive’s termination date. The Executive’s rights with respect to any stock awards provided to the Executive by the Corporation shall be governed by the provisions of the Corporation’s Incentive Plan and the respective award agreements, if any, under which such stock awards were provided.

ARTICLE III

COVENANTS OF THE EXECUTIVE

3.1 Non-Compete.

(a)The Corporation and the Executive acknowledge that: (i) the Corporation has a special interest in and derives significant benefit from the unique skills and experience of the Executive; (ii) the Executive will use and have access to proprietary and valuable Confidential Information (as defined in Section 3.2 hereof) during the course of the Executive’s employment; and (iii) the agreements and covenants contained herein are essential to protect the business and goodwill of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees. Accordingly, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Executive covenants and agrees that during the Term, and for the twelve (12) month period following the last day of the Term, the Executive shall not provide any labor, work, services or assistance (whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, agent, owner, independent contractor, consultant, stockholder or otherwise) to a “Competing Business” in which the Executive has any of the same or similar responsibilities as Executive’s responsibilities at the Corporation at any time during Executive’s employment with the Corporation, if during the Term, or within the twenty-four (24) month period immediately preceding termination of employment. For purposes hereof, “Competing Business” shall mean any company or business engaged in the designing, marketing or distribution of “Relevant Products,” including any of such company’s subsidiaries or licensees (in the case of licensees to the extent related to the Corporation's products or marks), and shall include, without limitation, those brands and companies that the Corporation has designated in writing on the date hereof, and incorporated herein by reference and attached as Schedule A, it being understood that the Corporation may in its sole and absolute discretion modify Schedule A from time to time. For purposes hereof, “Relevant Products” shall mean products marketed and sold by the Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries or licensees, in any quantity that is not de minimus. Thus, Executive specifically acknowledges that Executive understands that he may not become employed by any Competing Business in any capacity for the period of one (1) year following the termination of his employment for any reason, provided that the Executive may (i) own, solely as an investment, securities of any entity which are traded on a national securities exchange if the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls such entity and does not, directly or indirectly, own 2% or more of any class of securities of such entity and (ii) own and invest up to 2% of any hedge funds, private equity funds or other pooled investment vehicles so long as he is not actively involved with them. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall not violate this provision by providing services to a private equity firm (or one of its portfolio companies) which invests in a Competing Business so long as the Executive is not providing services directly or indirectly to such Competing Business.

(b)It is acknowledged by the Executive that the Corporation has determined to relieve the Executive from any obligation of non-competition upon the expiration of the one year period following the termination of Executive's employment for any reason. In consideration of that, and in consideration of all of the compensation provisions in this Agreement (including the potential for the award of equity grants that may be made to the Executive), Executive agrees to the provisions of Section 3.1 and also agrees that the non-competition obligations imposed herein are fair and reasonable under all the circumstances.

3.2 Confidential Information.

(a)The Corporation owns and has developed and compiled, and will own, develop and compile, certain proprietary techniques and confidential information as described below which have great value to its business (referred to in this Agreement, collectively, as “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes not only information disclosed by the Corporation and/or its affiliates, subsidiaries and licensees to Executive, but also information developed or learned by Executive during the course of, or as a result of, employment hereunder, which information Executive acknowledges is and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Corporation. Confidential Information includes all proprietary information that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the business in which the Corporation is engaged or contemplates engaging, and all proprietary information the unauthorized disclosure of which could be detrimental to the interests of the Corporation. Whether or not such information is specifically labeled as Confidential Information by the Corporation is not determinative. By way of example and without limitation, Confidential Information includes any and all information developed, obtained or owned by the

Corporation and/or its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees concerning trade secrets, techniques, know-how (including designs, plans, procedures, processes and research records), software, computer programs, innovations, discoveries, improvements, research, development, test results, reports, specifications, data, formats, marketing data and plans, business plans, strategies, forecasts, unpublished financial information, orders, agreements and other forms of documents, price and cost information, merchandising opportunities, expansion plans, designs, store plans, budgets, projections, customer, supplier and subcontractor identities, characteristics and agreements, and salary, staffing and employment information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not in any event include (A) Executive’s personal knowledge and know-how relating to merchandising and business techniques which Executive has developed over his career in the apparel business and of which Executive was aware prior to his employment, or (B) information which (i) was generally known or generally available to the public prior to its disclosure to Executive; (ii) becomes generally known or generally available to the public subsequent to disclosure to Executive through no wrongful act of any person or (iii) which Executive is required to disclose by applicable law or regulation (provided that Executive provides the Corporation with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and reasonably cooperates with the Corporation at the Corporation’s expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information).

(b)Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of his duties hereunder the Corporation will from time to time disclose to Executive and entrust Executive with Confidential Information. Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, among other things, may be prejudicial to the Corporation’s interests, and an improper disclosure of trade secrets. Executive agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any corporation, partnership, individual or other third party, other than in the course of his assigned duties and for the benefit of the Corporation, any Confidential Information, either during his Term of employment or thereafter.

(c)The Executive agrees that upon leaving the Corporation’s employ, the Executive shall not take with the Executive any software, computer programs, disks, tapes, research, development, strategies, designs, reports, study, memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters, e-mails, or other documents or data reflecting any Confidential Information of the Corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees.

(d)During the Term, Executive shall disclose to the Corporation all designs, inventions and business strategies or plans developed for the Corporation, including without limitation any process, operation, product or improvement. Executive agrees that all of the foregoing are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Corporation and that Executive shall at the Corporation’s request and cost do whatever is necessary to secure the rights thereto, by patent, copyright or otherwise, to the Corporation.

(e)Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any governmental agency or regulatory body or making other disclosures that are protected under any law or regulation, or from filing a charge with or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by any governmental agency or regulatory body.

(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (i) the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret that: (A) is made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to any attorney; and (2) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding; (ii) if the Executive files a lawsuit or arbitral action for retaliation by the Corporation for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose the Corporation’s trade secrets to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court or arbitral proceeding if the Executive: (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

3.3 Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive covenants and agrees that during the Term, and for the twelve (12) month period following the last day of the Term, regardless of the reason for Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit or influence any other employee of the Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees, to terminate such employee’s employment with the Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees, as the case may be, or to become employed by a Competing Business. As used herein, “solicit” shall include, without limitation, requesting, encouraging, enticing, assisting, or causing, directly or indirectly.

3.4 Nondisparagement. The Executive agrees that during the Term and thereafter whether or not he is receiving any amounts pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 4.1, the Executive shall not make any statements or comments that reasonably could be considered to shed an adverse light on the business or reputation of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees, the Board or any officer of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees; provided, however, the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) compliance with legal process or subpoena, or (ii) statements in response to an inquiry from a court or regulatory body.

3.5 Remedies.

(a)The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Corporation reasonably determines that the Executive has breached any provision of this Article III, that such conduct will constitute a failure of the consideration for which stock awards had been previously granted to the Executive or could be awarded in the future to Executive, and notwithstanding the terms of any stock award agreement, plan document, or other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation may in its sole discretion notify the Executive that all unexercised stock options, restricted stock units, and other equity awards that Executive has are forfeited. Further, the Executive shall immediately forfeit the right to receive any further grants of or vest any further in any unvested stock options, unvested restricted stock units or other unvested equity awards of the Corporation at the time of such notice, and Executive waives any right to assert that any such conduct by the Corporation violates any federal or state statute, case law or policy.

(b)If the Corporation reasonably determines that the Executive has breached any provision contained in this Article III, the Corporation shall have no further obligation to make any payment or provide any benefit whatsoever to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, and may also recover from the Executive all such damages as it may be entitled to at law or in equity. In addition, the Executive acknowledges that any such breach is likely to result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Corporation for which money damages are likely to be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive consents to injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief upon the institution of proceedings therefor by the Corporation in order to protect the Corporation’s rights hereunder. Such relief may include, without limitation, an injunction to prevent: (i) the breach or continuation of Executive’s breach; (ii) the Executive from disclosing any trade secrets or Confidential Information (as defined in Section 3.2); (iii) any Competing Business from receiving from the Executive or using any such trade secrets or Confidential Information; and/or (iv) any such Competing Business from retaining or seeking to retain any employees of the Corporation.

3.6 The provisions of this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Executive’s Term of employment.

ARTICLE IV

CHANGE IN CONTROL

4.1 Change in Control.

(a)Effect of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control (as defined in Section 4.1(b) hereof) during the Term by the Corporation for any reason other than Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, then:

(i)Severance. The Corporation shall pay to the Executive, in lieu of any amounts otherwise due to him under Section 2.3(a) hereof, within fifteen (15) days of the Executive’s termination of employment, or within the timeframe required by Section 2.3(a)(v) hereof if applicable, a lump sum amount equal to two (2) times the sum of: (A) the Executive’s Base Compensation, as in effect immediately prior to such termination of employment; and (B) the bonus paid to the Executive for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, a portion of such lump sum payment will not be payable at such time if the duration of the Severance Period that would have otherwise applied under Section 2.3(a)(i) (had a Change in Control not occurred during the twelve-month period prior to such termination of employment) would have extended beyond the end of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which such termination of employment occurs (any such period beyond the end of such second calendar year is the “Extended Severance Payment Period”). In addition, such other amounts that otherwise would have been payable to the Executive under Section 2.3(a)(i) had a Change in Control not occurred during the twelve (12) month period prior to such termination of employment, and that would have constituted nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, will also not be included as part of such lump sum payment. In such event, an amount equal to the aggregate installment payments that would have been payable during the Extended Severance Payment Period, and the amounts described in the preceding sentence, shall be deducted from the amount otherwise payable in a lump sum in accordance with the first sentence hereof. Such deducted amount shall, instead, be payable at the same time that, and in the same manner as, such payments would have been paid if the Executive’s employment had been terminated pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof rather than within a twelve-month period following a Change in Control.

(ii)Stock Awards. Subject to Section 2.3(a)(v), the Executive shall immediately become vested in any unvested stock options granted to the Executive by the Corporation prior to the Change in Control and Executive will have six (6) months from the date of termination under this circumstance to exercise all vested options (but in no event later than the expiration date of such options). In addition, subject to Section 2.3(a)(v), any awards of PSUs and restricted shares which are unvested shall be deemed vested immediately prior to such Change in Control.

Executive agrees that if the Corporation informs him that an amendment to this Agreement is required in order for Executive and/or the Corporation to comply with a material change in law or governmental regulation, Executive will not unreasonably withhold his agreement to such an amendment.

5.3 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to New York’s choice of law rules. Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Executive’s employment, whether contractual or non-contractual, including without limitation any federal or state statutory claim, common law or tort claim, or claim for attorneys fees, as well as any such controversy, claim or dispute between Executive and an officer, director or employee of the Corporation related to Executive’s employment or to this Agreement, shall be brought before a three-member arbitration panel and held in New York City in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. The arbitrators shall issue a full written opinion setting forth the reasons for their decision. Such arbitration, all filings, evidence and testimony connected with the arbitration, and all relevant allegations and events leading up to the arbitration, shall be held in strict confidence, unless disclosure is required by law or SEC or other governmental reporting obligation. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. Executive acknowledges that any arbitration brought under this Agreement must be on an individual basis, and Executive may not join or consolidate claims in arbitration by other employees, or litigate in court or arbitrate any claims as a representative or member of a class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may seek injunctive or other declaratory relief to enforce any provision of Article III of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction.

5.4 No Mitigation or Offset. In the event the Executive’s employment with the Corporation terminates for any reason, the Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment following such termination and there shall be no offset of the payments or benefits set forth herein.

5.5 Withholding. All payments required to be made by the Corporation hereunder to the Executive or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts as the Corporation may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law.

5.6 Attorney’s Fees. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees and costs incurred in any action or dispute arising out of this Agreement and/or the employment relationship.

5.7 No Conflict. Executive represents and warrants that he is not party to any agreement, contract, understanding, covenant, judgment or decree or under any obligation, contractual or otherwise, with any other party that in any way restricts or adversely affects his ability to act for the Corporation in all of the respects contemplated hereby, including but not limited to any obligations to comply with any non-compete or non-solicitation provisions. Executive represents and warrants that he has not disclosed, will not disclose, and has no intention of disclosing any trade secrets or any confidential and/or proprietary business information of any other company to the Corporation or to any individual employed by or associated with the Corporation, nor has he used or will he use any such information for the Corporation’s or his benefit.

5.8 Enforceability. Each of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are separate and independent covenants, each of which has been separately bargained for and the parties hereto intend that the provisions of each such covenant shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible. Should the whole or any part or provision of any such separate covenant be held or declared invalid, such invalidity shall not in any way affect the validity of any other such covenant or of any part or provision of the same covenant not also held or declared invalid. If any covenant shall be found to be invalid but would be valid if some part thereof were deleted or the period or area of application reduced, then such covenant shall apply with such minimum modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision hereunder will in no way affect the right of that party thereafter to enforce the same, nor will it affect any other party’s right to enforce the same, or to enforce any of the other provisions in this Agreement; nor will the waiver by either party of the breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

5.9 Miscellaneous. No right or interest to, or in, any payments shall be assignable by the Executive; provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude the Executive from designating in writing one or more beneficiaries to receive any amount that may be payable after the Executive’s death and shall not preclude the legal representative of the Executive’s estate from assigning any right hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto. If the Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to the Executive hereunder, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s written designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Executive, the Executive’s heirs and legal representatives and the Corporation and its successors. The section headings shall not be taken into account for purposes of the construction of any provision of this Agreement.

5.10 Meaning of Signing This Agreement. By signing this Agreement, Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) he has carefully read it and fully understands what it means; (b) he has been advised in writing to discuss this Agreement with an independent attorney of his own choosing before signing it and has had a reasonable opportunity to confer with his attorney and has discussed and reviewed this Agreement with his attorney prior to executing it and delivering it to the Corporation; (c) he has had answered to his satisfaction any questions he has with regard to the meaning and significance of any of the provisions of this Agreement; and (d) he has agreed to this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily of his own free will and was not subjected to any undue influence or duress, and assents to all the terms and conditions contained herein with the intent to be bound hereby.

5.11 Compliance with Section 409A. The parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the parties agree to use their best efforts to achieve timely compliance with, Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Corporation determines that any compensation or benefits payable or provided hereunder may be subject to Section 409A, the Corporation reserves the right (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify the Executive for failure to do so) to adopt such limited amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Corporation reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the compensation and benefits provided with respect to this Agreement or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the date and year first above written.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Term

Your international assignment to London, United Kingdom (the “Assignment”) will begin on March 31, 2019 (“Assignment Start Date”).

Immigration

This agreement is contingent upon your obtaining the appropriate government clearances, visas and work permits. The Company will assist you in ensuring these immigration matters are properly handled and will bear the costs for you to obtain the necessary visas, medical examinations and/or immunizations, as well as reasonable travel expenses associated with fulfilling these requirements. The Assignment will immediately terminate and you will be repatriated if any necessary immigration visa(s), work permit(s) and related documentation are withheld, withdrawn or expire without renewal.

Point-of-Origin

Your Home office location has been designated as New York, New York, US, and it is anticipated that you will return to this location upon the end of your assignment.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Employee Benefits

During the Assignment, with the exception of your medical and dental plans, you will maintain benefit coverage under the US benefit plans as offered to US employees. We will provide medical coverage for you and your family under our UHC Global Medical plan and information will be provided separately. Questions about your other US benefit plans should be addressed to the Company’s benefits department. Employee contributions for benefits will be deducted from your paycheck.

Relocation

You will relocate from Geneva, Switzerland to London, United Kingdom where you will be based for the length of the Assignment. The Company will provide the services of a relocation company to assist you in settling in to your new surroundings. This service will include home search and area tours to familiarize you with the neighborhoods where you will live and work. All reasonable costs for this service will be borne by the Company.

Relocation Allowance

To assist with the cost of establishing a residence, a net relocation allowance of $50,000 or local equivalent will be provided at the time of relocation through the Company’s vendor that assists with relocations. This allowance is to be used at your discretion to cover ancillary expenses such as but not limited to: driver’s licenses and fees, bank charges, renter’s insurance; small appliances; cleaning or handyman services, membership fees, etc.

Immigration Assistance

The Company will assist you in obtaining all required passports, work permits and visas. The time required to obtain these documents and for processing work papers varies greatly by country.

Relocation Services

The Company will provide the services of a relocation company to assist you in settling in to your new surroundings. This service will include:

House Hunting Trip (Pre-move)

The Company will cover the cost of one house hunting trip for you and your spouse/domestic partner if applicable. Reasonable expenses for up to seven days will be reimbursed related to transportation, hotel, food, rental car and incidentals based on the Company’s Business Travel Policy.

Shipment of Household Goods

The Company will pay all reasonable expenses for packing, transporting and insuring your household and personal goods as well as any applicable customs, duties or fees incurred.

Storage of Household Goods

The Company will pay all reasonable expenses for storage of belongings for the duration of your assignment and up to 60 days upon completion of the assignment.

Relocation Airfare

The Company will cover the cost of direct route one-way airfare for you and your accompanying dependents and car service to/from the airport, in accordance with the Business Travel Policy.

Temporary Living

For a period of up to 30 days, you will be provided with a corporate apartment in your new work location. You will also be provided with up to 7 days in a hotel if required in your Origin Country. This assistance is also provided upon repatriation, prior to your departure to return home.

ASSIGNMENT ALLOWANCES

The Company provides allowances designed to equalize your purchasing power and living standard to comparable levels experienced in your Home country and has engaged the services of a recognized international consulting firm to provide economic data, cost of living indices and exchange rate fluctuations for this purpose. This data is updated several times each year in consideration of changes in inflation or currency. Applying this data, the following allowances will be delivered to you via your bi-weekly paycheck, effective upon moving into your permanent living quarters in the host location.

Goods & Services Differential (G&S)

A G&S differential targets your pre-assignment purchasing level and is determined on the basis of a “typical” market basket of goods and services. While the market basket may not be the exact replica of your own spending habits, it has been properly weighted by the international economic consulting service.

G&S is based on current market data supplied by a third-party vendor. The market data compares the cost of goods and services in your home location versus your host location, as well as fluctuations in exchange rates. This also takes into account any changes in family size (number of dependents) that is with you on assignment.

Your initial G&S differential will be $27,464 per year or $1,056.31 per pay period. This G&S differential will be reviewed and adjusted (if applicable) when your assignment commences. Any tax assessed on this assistance will be borne by the Company.

This allowance is reviewed semi-annually (February/March and August/September) and may be adjusted in accordance with changes in costs, either up or down. If there is a change of more than 5% in either direction, your G&S will be adjusted. Please note that, as standard practice, we cap any single decrease at 15% unless there is a decrease in the family size.

Please note that your G&S differential includes an amount for utilities and no additional coverage for utilities will be provided by the Company.

Should the family size that is with you on assignment change at any time while on assignment, the G&S allowance will be updated accordingly to reflect this change. Please notify global mobility immediately if there is a change in the number of the family size that is on assignment with you.

Housing Allowance

While on the Assignment, you are expected to contribute to the cost of your housing. A “housing norm” represents a statistical average that a person would have paid had they remained at home, based on family size and income level. This amount, according to the international consulting firm data based on your income and family size is $56,604 annually. Your annual housing cost is expected to be $164,113 annually (or $13,676 per month. As a result, the Company will provide you with a housing allowance of up to $107,509 per year (Housing cost of $164,113 less $56,604 housing norm). Any tax assessed on this allowance will be borne by the Company.

In addition, the Company will pay the cost of associated rental agency fees, any required advance rent payments and security deposits. You will be responsible for any charges or damages applied against the security deposit.

Note: In general, home ownership in the host location while on global assignment is discouraged because it can impact residential status and have negative tax implications. Therefore, should you choose to purchase housing, Company housing assistance would be discontinued. In addition, the Company will not reimburse any costs or expenses associated with the purchase or subsequent sale of any residence. Any increase in tax liability as a result of home purchase would be your responsibility.

Home Leave Allowance

The Company will provide you with a home leave allowance of $30,000 per year paid bi-weekly through your U.S international payroll, to be used for your and your family’s travel. The Home Leave allowance will be reflected in your paycheck once the assignment has started. Home leave is counted as vacation time (except any time spent conducting business). Any additional expenses (ie, car service, airport transfers etc.) will be your responsibility. All taxes assessed with this payment will be borne by the Company. Should the family size change at any time while on assignment, the travel allowance will be updated accordingly to reflect this change. Home leave cannot be booked via the Company’s travel department.

Emergency Travel

In the event of the serious illness, accident or death of a member of your immediate family, the Company will reimburse emergency round trip travel costs for you and accompanying dependents. All travel will be based on the Company’s business Travel Policy and must be arranged through the Company’s travel department. Please reach out to Global Mobility to coordinate the booking as airfare costs will be charged to the Global Mobility credit card.

Education Assistance

Education assistance will be provided for your school aged children (from 3 years up to the age of 18) to attend school in the United Kingdom. The Company or its internartional assignment vendor will reimburse or pay the school directly upon providing all the supporting invoices and/or receipts. The company will cover up to $30,000 per child annually. Any additional costs will be your responsibility. Any tax assessed on this assistance will be borne by the Company.

PERSONAL INCOME TAXES

During the Assignment, you may be subject to income tax and reporting requirements in both your Home and Host country. To ensure that you incur no additional income tax cost as a result of your international service, the Company provides protection under a Tax Equalization policy for actual taxes assessed on your Company sourced income for the duration of the Assignment.

You continue to be responsible for your Home country income and social security taxes on your compensation, i.e., base salary, bonus, PSU, PRSU, RSU vesting and stock option exercises, as if you remained at home. While on assignment, this obligation becomes known as your hypothetical tax liability and is deducted from your pay each cycle to satisfy federal, state, or local taxes payable on Company sourced income. Additionally, your social security tax will continue to be deducted on an actual basis as required by law.

The Company will provide and pay for the services of an international accounting firm to calculate your hypothetical liability and prepare your actual Home and Host tax returns while on assignment. Because your hypothetical tax payments are an approximation of your Home country tax liability based on your Company sourced income only, at the end of each tax year, the accounting firm will prepare a tax equalization calculation to determine if your final home country tax liability is greater than the hypothetical tax withheld from your pay. If so, you will be responsible to the Company for the difference. If it is less, the Company will pay you the difference.

The intent of any tax assistance is to make you no better or worse off than if you stayed continually in your home location. Taxes paid on your behalf may result in an increase of tax refunds due to you or a reduction in your U.S. tax obligation. If your refund is increased or your obligation decreased as a result of credits included from company funded tax payments, you will need to return this funding to the Company. Note that in many circumstances, tax services are required for years after completion of an assignment. You are agreeing that the accounting firm will provide a detailed summary outlining the impact of the taxes paid.

TRAVEL CALENDAR

You are responsible for maintaining records of your travel for the duration of the Assignment and providing this information to the accounting firm for the preparation of all required tax returns. In addition, you agree to provide all necessary information and documents, in a timely manner, to the accounting firm so they may prepare your tax returns in the time required by law. If you do not comply with these requirements, the cost of any penalties assessed by the taxing authorities in each location will be your responsibility.

If you terminate your employment other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Agreement), or if the Company terminates your employment for “Cause” (as defined in the Agreement), in each case within twelve (12) months of the Assignment Start Date, then you shall reimburse the Company for the full amount of the relocation benefits and any up-front housing allowance benefits paid to you in accordance with this Exhibit B to the Agreement within 30 days of the date of termination of your employment. If you do not repay the aforementioned payments within this time period, the Company has the right to immediately recover the aforementioned payments from you, as well as any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in recovering the aforementioned payments.
