AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective the 1st day of January, 2016 by and between Multi-Color Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Company”), and Nigel A. Vinecombe, an individual (“Executive”).

RECITALS:

A. Executive currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company pursuant to an Employment Agreement dated May 22, 2012 between the Company and the Executive (the “Original Agreement”).

B. Company desires to appoint the Executive as its Executive Chairman, and Executive desires to serve in such role for the Company.

C. The parties hereto desire to set forth amended and restated terms and conditions of the employment relationship between the Executive and the Company by amending and restated the Original Agreement.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company hereby employs Executive for the “Term” (as defined in Section 2), and Executive accepts employment by the Company and agrees to serve the Company during the Term, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

2. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2016 and shall continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. This Agreement shall be terminable at will, at any time, by either party, with or without cause, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 6, below. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, upon the termination of Executive’s employment, the Company shall pay Executive his salary earned through the Termination Date, Executive shall be entitled to all benefits accrued or vested through the Termination Date pursuant to all fringe benefit plans set forth in this Agreement, and the Company shall not be obligated to pay, and Executive shall not be entitled to receive, any other compensation, payments or consideration of any kind or nature. The “Term” shall refer to the period of time during which the Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement.

3. SCOPE OF EMPLOYMENT; LOCATION. During the Term of this Agreement, Executive shall serve as the Executive Chairman of the Company and agrees to devote such attention and time to the business and affairs of the Company as mutually agreed to from time to time between the Executive and the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) and to use the Executive’s best efforts to perform such responsibilities in a professional manner. It shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, trade association, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions, or (C) manage personal investments and affairs, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of

the Company in accordance with this Agreement. Executive shall serve as a member of the Board during the Term of this Agreement, subject to election by the shareholders.

4. COMPENSATION.

4.1 Base Salary. During the Term of this Agreement, the Executive shall receive an Annual Base Salary. Executive’s beginning Annual Base Salary shall be Four Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S.$400,000). The Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Board annually based upon Executive’s performance, pertinent salary survey information and such other information as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, but may not be adjusted downward without the Executive’s written consent. After any such adjustment, the term “Annual Base Salary” as used in this Agreement shall thereafter refer to such amount as adjusted. The Annual Base Salary shall be paid no less frequently than in equal bi-weekly installments.

4.2 Bonus. During the Term of this Agreement, Executive will continue to be eligible to participate in the Management Incentive Compensation Program, subject to the terms and conditions as specified in the plan. The incentive compensation program is based on meeting certain financial targets as established by, and in the sole discretion of, the Board or by the Compensation Committee of the Board on an annual basis. The bonus target, as a percent of Annual Base Salary, is 65%, with a bonus range between 32.5% and 97.5% of Annual Base Salary. If financial targets are met between the minimum, target and maximum brackets, the payout is calculated on a prorated basis between the two brackets that apply. Executive shall be paid his Bonus when other executives of the Company are paid their annual bonuses, but in no event beyond the last day on which such payment would qualify as a short-term deferral under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A 1(b)(4).

4.3 Restricted Stock Grant; Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards. During the Term of this Agreement, Executive shall receive restricted stock grants having a value of $100,000 on an annual basis, subject to vesting and such other terms set forth by the Board or its committees from time to time.

4.4 Expenses. During the Term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses incurred by the Executive and documented as required by regulations of the Internal Revenue Service and policies of the Company.

4.5 Indemnity. The Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against claims arising in connection with the Executive’s status as an employee, officer, director or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Such indemnification shall be established to the level of the greatest indemnification permitted by Ohio law for corporate employees, officers or directors, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be an employee, officer, director or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s heirs and legal representatives. In furtherance of this protection, during the Executive’s employment and for a period of at least six years thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering Executive in at least the amount of coverage as provided in fiscal 2015 for such purposes and in any event provide at least as much coverage for the

2

Executive as the Company provides for its other executives or directors of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit or extinguish any right to indemnification, advancement of expenses or contribution that the Executive (or his heirs and legal representatives) would otherwise have (including, without limitation, by agreement or under applicable law).

5. CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION AND OTHER COVENANTS. In consideration of Company’s employment of Executive, Executive does covenant and agree with the Company as follows:

5.1 Non-Disclosure of Confidential Materials, Information and Intellectual Property. The Executive acknowledges that as a leader in the highly-competitive businesses of printing labels, including but not limited to, inmold, pressure sensitive, heat transfer, cut and stack and shrink sleeve label technologies, the Company has developed, acquired and implemented confidential intellectual property, materials and information, proprietary strategies and programs, which it has taken steps to protect as trade secrets (as defined in Ohio’s Uniform Trade Secrets Act, OHIO REV. CODE §§ 1333.61 - 1333.69) and which include copyrighted materials, patent materials, expansion plans, market research, sales systems, marketing programs, product development strategies, budgets, pricing and cost strategies, identity and requirements of accounts, and other non-public proprietary information regarding customers and the employees of the Company or of its customers or non public proprietary information regarding the Company’s business or the business of the Company’s customers (collectively “Confidential Materials and Information”). In performing duties for the Company, the Executive regularly will be exposed to and work with the Company’s Confidential Materials and Information. The Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Materials and Information are critical to the Company’s success and that the Company has invested substantial money in developing the Company’s Confidential Materials and Information. While the Executive is employed by the Company, and after such employment ends for any reason, the Executive will not reproduce, publish, disclose, use, reveal, show, or otherwise communicate to any person or entity any Confidential Materials and Information of the Company unless specifically assigned or directed by the Company to do so or unless it shall have become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). The covenant in this Section 5.1 has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction or limitation, and it applies wherever the Executive may be located.

5.2 Non-Solicitation of the Company’s Employees. For a period of twenty-four (24) months after the termination of his employment, the Executive will not actively solicit, either directly or indirectly through any third person, any other employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment with the Company without the written consent of the Chairman of the Board.

5.3 Covenant Against Unfair Competition. While the Executive is employed by the Company, and for twelve (12) months after Executive’s employment ends for any reason, the Executive will not, either directly or indirectly: (a) work for any individual or entity, or own, control, or invest in any entity, that provides similar services as the Company or is a competitor of the Company and its businesses; or (b) call on, solicit or communicate with any of the Company’s customers or prospects for the purpose of obtaining such customer’s or prospect’s business in violation of the restrictions on competition contained in clause (a) of this Section,

3

other than for the benefit of the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “customer” means a business entity (including representatives of such business entity) to which the Company provided goods or services at any time in the prior twenty-four (24) months before the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and the term “prospect” means a business entity (including representatives of such business entity) to which, at any time in the previous twenty-four (24) months before the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Company made a written proposal for providing goods or services. Ownership, for personal investment purposes only, of not in excess of two percent (2%) of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation, shall not constitute a violation hereof.

5.4 Return of Confidential Materials and Information. The Executive agrees that whenever the Executive’s employment with the Company ends for any reason, all documents, including information stored in electronic format, containing or referring to the Company’s Confidential Materials and Information that may be in the Executive’s possession, or over which the Executive may have control, will be delivered by the Executive to the Company immediately, with no request being required.

5.5 Irreparable Harm. The Executive agrees that a breach of any covenant in this Section 5 will cause the Company irreparable injury and damage for which the Company has no adequate monetary remedy, and the Executive further agrees that if the Company claims a breach of any such covenant, the Company will be entitled to seek an immediate restraining order and injunction to prevent such violation or continued violation.

5.6 Cumulative Remedies; Enforceability.

(a) In the event of Executive’s breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 5, the parties acknowledge that the Company will suffer irreparable harm and the Company will be entitled to an injunction restraining Executive from committing such breach. Executive affirmatively waives any requirement that the Company post any bond, demonstrate the likelihood of irreparable harm to the Company, or demonstrate that any actual damages will be suffered by the Company or any other entity seeking enforcement hereof as a result of Executive’s breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 5.

(b) The covenants and agreements contained in this Section 5 will be construed as independent of each other, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the Company’s enforcement of such covenants, and they shall be construed as separate covenants and agreements. If any court shall finally determine that the restraints provided for in any such covenants and agreements exceed the maximum area, activity or time such court deems reasonable and enforceable, said area, activity or time shall be deemed to become and thereafter shall be the maximum area, activity or time which such court deems reasonable and enforceable, and such covenants and agreements shall be enforced as to such reduced area, activity or time.

(c) Nothing herein contained will be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of money damages.

4

5.7 Reasonableness of Scope and Duration. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. Executive understands and agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 5 are, taken as a whole, reasonable in connection with the activities covered, their geographic scope and duration. Executive understands that the provisions of this Agreement have been carefully designed to restrict Executive’s activities to the minimum extent which is consistent with the Company’s requirements. Executive has carefully considered these restrictions, and Executive confirms that they will not unduly restrict Executive’s ability to obtain a livelihood.

5.8 Future Employer. If applicable, Executive shall inform any prospective or future employer of all of the restrictive covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and provide such employer with a copy of such provisions, prior to the commencement of that employment.

5.9 Time Periods. All time periods set forth in this Section 5 shall be extended by the duration of any period during which Executive is in violation of any provision of this Section 5.

6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

6.1 Termination. Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate upon the occurrence of the first of the following events:

(a) Death. Upon the death of Executive.

(b) Disability. If the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Executive’s employment, the Company may give written notice to the Executive in accordance with this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the Disability Commencement Date. As used in this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that the Executive, (i) in the opinion of a physician, is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company, or (iii) is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration, or (iv) is determined to be disabled in accordance with a disability insurance program, provided that the definition of disability applied under such disability insurance program complies with the requirements of (i) or (ii) above. Additionally, as used in this Agreement, “Disability Commencement Date” shall be the thirtieth (30^th) day after notice is received by Executive pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) that he is under a Disability, provided that, within the thirty (30) days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to perform his duties hereunder.

5

(c) Cause. The Company terminates the Executive for Cause or for any reason other than for Cause. As used in this Agreement, “Cause” with respect to Executive’s termination from employment, shall mean any of the following:

(1) the Executive’s failure to cure the Executive’s material breach of this Agreement or any Company policy, regulation or guideline;

(2) the Executive’s appropriation of a material business opportunity of the Company, including securing any material personal profit in connection with any transaction entered into on behalf of the Company. This provision shall not include opportunities communicated by the Executive to the Company which were rejected or on which the Company took no timely action;

(3) the Executive’s misappropriation of any of the Company’s funds or property;

(4) the Executive’s conviction of or entering of a guilty plea or a plea of no contest with respect to, a felony, or any other crime which materially and adversely affects the business of the Company or Executive’s ability to carry out his duties hereunder and with respect to which imprisonment for a term in excess of six (6) months is a possible punishment; or

(5) the Executive’s conduct, or lack thereof, which results in material economic damage to the Company or its reputation. It is expressly understood that if Executive’s good faith belief was that his conduct or lack thereof was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company, then “Cause” shall not be satisfied hereunder.

No termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder by the Company for Cause shall be effective as a termination for Cause unless the provisions of this paragraph shall first have been complied with. The Executive shall be given a Notice of Termination by the Board. The Executive shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to cure such alleged violation. If he fails to cure such alleged violation within such sixty (60)-day period, the Executive shall then be entitled to a hearing before the Board. If after such hearing, the Board gives a second Notice of Termination to the Executive confirming that a majority of the members of the Board that are not then employed as employees of the Company voted after the hearing to terminate him for Cause, the Executive’s employment shall thereupon be terminated for Cause.

(d) Good Reason. The Executive terminates employment for Good Reason within two (2) years following the initial existence of the condition constituting Good Reason. As used in this Agreement, “Good Reason” with respect to the termination from employment of Executive shall mean any of the following:

(1) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement;

(2) any purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement;

6

(3) the Company materially altering or materially impairing the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities without his written consent; or

(4) the failure of Executive to be reelected to the Board.

No termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder by the Executive for Good Reason shall be effective as a termination for Good Reason unless the provisions of this paragraph shall first have been complied with. The Board shall be given a Notice of Termination by the Executive within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the violation. The Company shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of the Notice of Termination to fully cure such alleged violation.

6.2 Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Date of Termination” means: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Executive receives the Notice of Termination described in Section 6.1(c) that a majority of the members of the Board that are not then employees of the Company voted after the hearing to terminate him for Cause; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Notice of Termination is received by the Company, or such later date as may be specified therein, unless the Company has fully cured all grounds for such termination within sixty (60) days after the Executive gives such notice; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination; (vi) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive for other than Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company receives the Notice of Termination; and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Commencement Date.

9.1 Binding Effect; Delegation of Duties Prohibited; Survival. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, including any entity with which the Company may merge or consolidate, or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred, provided, the Company may assign this Agreement to any affiliate, but no such assignment shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

9.2 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or superseded only by a written instrument that expressly refers to this Agreement and that is signed by all of the parties to this Agreement.

The failure of any party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or option contained in this Agreement or to require at any time performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement, by any of the other parties shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or any of its provisions or the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement. No course of dealing shall operate as a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or otherwise prejudice such party’s rights, powers and remedies.

9.3 Entire Agreement.

In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any plan, employee handbook, personnel manual, program, policy, arrangement or agreement of the Company or any of its affiliates (“Company Documents”), the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided, however, to the extent any Company Document provides for additional benefits to be afforded the Executive, such additional benefits will also be provided to the Executive in accordance with the terms of such Company Document.

9.9 Severability and Reformation of Provisions.

Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties intend that the court add to this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be valid and enforceable, so as to effect the original intent of the parties to the greatest extent possible.
