During the Period, Executive shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and in similar executive capacities for the Company’s subsidiaries as well as on such subsidiaries’ respective boards of directors or similar governing bodies, shall render such other services as the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) may reasonably request from time to time as appropriate to such offices, and shall report to the Board. The Executive shall devote such time as may be required by the Board to perform his duties and responsibilities in such capacities.

1.3.        Compensation. During the Period, the Company shall pay Executive a salary at an annual rate of $200,000, which shall be payable in accordance with the Company's payroll practices as in effect from time to time. Executive shall be entitled to such bonus, if any, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board in its sole discretion. It is understood that Executive shall not be entitled to any other fees, compensation, or employee benefits in connection with the performance of services for the Company.

1.4.        Expenses . The Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, lodging, meal and other reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in connection with Executive’s performance of services hereunder upon submission of evidence, satisfactory to the Company, of the incurrence and purpose of each such expense and otherwise in accordance with the Company’s expense policy as in effect from time to time.

In the event the Period is terminated pursuant to this Section 1.5, Executive shall only be entitled to receive any compensation and any expenses, in each case, accruing prior to the date of such termination, and Executive shall not be required to render any services hereunder after such date.

The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that Executive is employed by and provides service to Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates and, during the term of this Agreement, will continue to be so employed and to provide services to, or at the request of, such entities, including, but not limited to, as an employee, officer, director, advisor, representative or in any other capacity.
