7.
Definitions. The following terms will have the meaning ascribed to them below.
  
(a)
Operating EBITDA Before Metal Price Lag means “Segment Income” as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Form 10-K”) adjusted by (1) the impact from timing differences in the pass-through of metal price changes to the Company’s customers, net of realized derivative instruments; reduced by (2) the impact from re-measuring to current exchange rates any monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the reporting unit, net of realized and unrealized derivative instruments; and further adjusted by (3) the impact on cost of working capital management activities to the extent caused by any excess or shortfall of Free Cash Flow described in paragraph 7(b)(iii) below.
(b)
Free Cash Flow Before Metal Price Lag means the Company’s operating free cash flow calculated by removing the following items from “free cash flow” (as defined in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of Item 7 of the Form 10-K): (1) the impact from timing differences in the pass-through of metal price changes to the Company’s customers, net of realized derivative instruments; and (2) 100% of the impact on inventory of fourth quarter variations in metal prices (including LME and local market premiums); provided, however, that:
(i)
In the event fourth quarter base metal cost (“BMC”) exceeds the budgeted BMC, the adjustment will be calculated as: (i) budgeted ending physical book inventory kilotonnes times (ii) actual fourth quarter BMC, reduced by budgeted fourth quarter BMC. The result will be added to the Company’s operating free cash flow for purposes of calculating achievement under this Plan;
(ii)
In the event fourth quarter BMC is lower than the budgeted BMC price, the adjustment will be calculated as: (i) actual ending physical book inventory kilotonnes times (ii) budgeted fourth quarter BMC, reduced by actual fourth quarter

2


BMC. The result will be deducted from the Company’s operating free cash flow for purposes of calculating achievement under this Plan; and
(iii)
Free Cash Flow may also include cash flows from working capital management activities and programs (including, without limitation, factoring of accounts receivable). For purposes of calculating achievement of Free Cash Flow under this Plan, any cash flow impact resulting from such working capital management activities or programs will be disregarded.
(c)
Global Safety is comprised of two components, as follows:
(i)
Global Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF), which refers to the total number of work-related deaths, life-threatening injuries/illnesses and life-altering injuries/illnesses occurring during fiscal year 2018; and
(ii)
Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIF), which refers to (i) the number of Injury/Illness Record Keeping System cases multiplied by 200,000; divided by (ii) the number of hours worked by all employees, in each case during fiscal year 2018.
SIF will be weighted 60% and TRIR will be weighted 40% of the Global Safety metric. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a fatality at a Company location during fiscal 2018, select participants will receive no payout for the Global Safety measure.
(d)
Retirement means separation from the Company at 65 years of age or a combination of age and service greater than or equal to 65 with a minimum age of 55.
(e)
Change in Control means the first to occur of any of the following events: (i) any person or entity (excluding any person or entity affiliated with the Aditya Birla Group) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly through any parent entity of the Company or otherwise, of securities of the Company representing 35% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (the “Value or Vote of the Company”); provided, however, that a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred in the event that (A) any person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of securities representing 50% or less of the Value or Vote of the Company through (i) an initial public offering, (ii) a secondary offering, (iii) a private placement of securities, (iv) a share exchange transaction, or (v) any similar share purchase transaction in which the Company or any of its affiliates issues securities (any such transaction, a “Share Issuance Transaction”); and (B) a person or entity’s beneficial ownership interest in the Value or Vote of the Company is diluted solely as a result of any Share Issuance Transaction; or (ii) the majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election; or (iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity not affiliated with the Aditya Birla Group, other than (a) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, 50% or more of the

3


combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (b) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person or entity is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person or entity any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates, other than in connection with the acquisition by the Company or its affiliates of a business) representing 50% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or (iv) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets to a member of the Aditya Birla Group.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Change in Control” will be deemed to have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the common stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions. For purposes of this Section, “beneficial ownership” will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
8.
Interpretation. Novelis will interpret and construe the terms and conditions of the plan in its sole discretion, including but not limited to all decisions regarding eligibility for, and the amount of benefits payable under, the Plan.
9.
No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan confers upon any participant the right to continued employment or service with the Company or otherwise interfere with or restrict the right of Novelis or any affiliate to terminate the participant’s employment or service for any reason.
