W I T N E S S E T H:

management and related consulting services (the “Services”) to the Company and
its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) since the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 31, 2013, by and among ROI Acquisition

and its Subsidiaries desire to continue to receive Services from the Consultant
and to obtain the benefits of the experience and knowledge of the Consultant;

WHEREAS, the Consultant desires to continue to provide the Services to the
Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
Parties have elected to enter into this Agreement to memorialize the provision
of the Services as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with the Company’s related party transactions policy, the
Audit Committee (as defined below) has reviewed and approved of the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth,
the Company and the Consultant hereby agree as follows:

1. Agreement; Term.

(a) The Company and the Subsidiaries have requested that from time to time the
Consultant perform the Services for the Company and the Subsidiaries. To the
extent the Consultant performs such Services for the Company and/or any
Subsidiary, unless otherwise specified in writing, the terms and conditions
under which the Consultant will provide such Services are specified herein. The
Parties agree and acknowledge that the Consultant shall have no obligation to
perform any such Services except as agreed to by the Consultant from time to
time.

(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that the Consultant shall devote only
so much time, and shall consult with and advise the officers and directors of
the Company and/or any Subsidiary only to such extent and at such times and
places as may be mutually agreed by the Company and/or such Subsidiary and the
Consultant. The Consultant shall be free to provide similar Services to such
other business enterprises or activities as the Consultant may deem fit without
any limitation or restriction whatsoever. Except as set forth in Section 2(b) or
any future agreement between the Parties, the Consultant will provide and devote
to the performance of this Agreement such partners, employees and agents of the
Consultant as it shall deem appropriate to the furnishing of the Services
mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Consultant; it being understood
that, except as set forth in Section 2(b), no minimum number of hours is
required to be devoted by the Consultant on a weekly, monthly, annual or other
basis.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof (the “Effective
Date”) and shall terminate on the date which is three (3) months following the
Effective Date, and shall be extended automatically thereafter on a
month-to-month basis (such period of time, the “Term”); provided that either
Party may elect in writing to terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days prior
written notice of the expiration of the current or extended Term.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, (A) the Company’s obligation to pay
amounts due with respect to periods prior to the termination hereof and (B) the
provisions of Sections 3 through 21 hereof, in each case shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

2. Compensation and Expenses.

(a) Except as contemplated hereby or as approved by the Audit Committee (the
“Audit Committee”) of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company, the
Company shall have no obligation to pay the Consultant and/or any of its
affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Consultant Affiliate”) any fees for the Services
rendered hereunder and all matters related thereto (the “Consulting Fees”).

(b) Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company will pay the
Consultant a monthly fee in an aggregate amount of $35,700.00 for certain
Services provided by Steve Pallotta (“Pallotta”) (as assigned by the Special
Projects Committee of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer), including,
without limitation, (i) advice and consultation regarding the integration of,
and operational support related to, current and potential acquisitions
identified by the Chief Executive Officer or the Special Projects Committee of
the Board, (ii) advice and consultation regarding supply chain management in the
United Kingdom and Brazil, (iii) advice and consultation regarding the Company’s
e-commerce business, and (iv) advice and consultation regarding the selection of

of Services per week to the Company.

(c) Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreements and the Company’s expense
reimbursement and travel policy, the Company shall reimburse, or cause the
Subsidiaries to reimburse, the Consultant, any Consultant Affiliate or any of
their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees or
agents from time to time at the request of such party for the cost of all
reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by such party in the
performance of the Services rendered hereunder and all matters related thereto
(the “Consultant Expenses”). Such out-of-pocket costs shall include the costs of
airfare, lodging and transportation for the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s
benefit and will not exceed $20,000 of unreimbursed expenses at any time. For
the avoidance of doubt, reimbursement of such Consultant Expenses shall not be
conditioned on the approval of the Audit Committee and shall be in addition to
any Consulting Fees payable hereunder. The aforementioned Consulting Fees and
Consultant Expenses (together, the “Fees”) will be payable promptly, but, in no
event more than fifteen (15) business days following the date which Consultant
or any Consultant Affiliate submits to the Company an invoice for such fees and
expenses (which may be more than once per month).

3. Relationship of the Parties. The Consultant is providing the Services
hereunder as an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to constitute the Parties hereto as joint venturers, alter egos, partners
or participants in an unincorporated business or other separate entity, nor in
any manner create any employer-employee or principal-agent relationship between
the Company and/or any of the Subsidiaries on the one hand, and the Consultant
or any of the Consultant’s members, managers, agents, sub-contractors, officers
or employees on the other hand (notwithstanding the fact that the Company and
the Consultant may have in common any officers, directors, stockholders,
members, managers, employees, or other personnel).

4. Directors and Officers. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
relieve the directors or officers of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries from

in accordance with the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s, as applicable, charter,
bylaws, operating agreement, other constituent documents, applicable law, or
otherwise. The activities of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries shall at
all times be subject to the control and direction of their respective directors,
managers and officers. The Company and the Subsidiaries reserve the right to
make all decisions with regard to any matter upon which the Consultant or any
Consultant Affiliate has rendered its advice and consultation. The Parties
expressly acknowledge and agree that the Consultant is being engaged by the
Company to provide the Services to the Company and the Subsidiaries, for which
the Consultant will be compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The
Consultant shall not, and shall have no authority to, control the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries or the Company’s or any of the Subsidiaries’ day-to-day
operations, whether through the performance of the Consultant’s duties hereunder

officers and employees shall retain all responsibility for the Company or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, and its operations as and to the extent required by
the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s charter, bylaws, operating agreement, other
constituent documents, and applicable law, rule or regulation.

5. Limitation of Liability. Neither the Consultant nor any of its affiliates,
nor any of their respective past, current or future members, managers, partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents and/or controlling persons, nor any
successor by operation of law (including by merger) of any such person, nor any
entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of any such person
in a single transaction or series of related transactions (all of the foregoing,
collectively, the “Consultant Indemnitees”) shall be liable to the Company or
any of the Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates or any of the security
holders or creditors of the

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company or any of its affiliates for any damage, loss, liability, deficiency,
diminution in value, action, suit, claim, proceeding, investigation, audit,
demand, assessment, fine, judgment, cost or other expense (including, without
limitation, legal fees and expenses) (collectively “Liabilities”) directly or
indirectly (whether based in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of,
related to, caused by, based upon or in connection with the performance of the
Services contemplated by this Agreement (including pursuant to any subsequent
engagement of the Consultant hereunder) except to the extent that such Liability
shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted directly and primarily from the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such person. The Consultant makes no representations or
warranties, express or implied, in respect of the Services provided by any
Consultant Indemnitee. In no event will any Consultant Indemnitee be liable to
(i) the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates
(x) for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential damages,
including, without limitation, loss of profits or savings or lost business,
whether or not such damages are foreseeable or such Consultant Indemnitee has
been advised of the possibility of such damages or (y) in respect of any
Liabilities relating to any third party claims (whether based in contract, tort
or otherwise), except as set forth in Section 6 below or (ii) to any of the
security holders or creditors of the Company for any Liability whatsoever. Under
no circumstances will the aggregate of any and all Liabilities of the Consultant
Indemnitees exceed the aggregate of the fees actually paid to the Consultant
hereunder.

6. Indemnification; Advancement.

(a) The Company and the Subsidiaries shall jointly and severally reimburse,
defend, indemnify and hold the Consultant Indemnitees, and each of them,
harmless from and against any Liabilities arising out of, related to, caused by,
based upon or in connection with (a) any act or omission of, or on behalf of,
the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, the Consultant or any of the Consultant
Indemnitees, except to the extent such Liability shall have been finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly and
primarily from the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the person seeking indemnification, or (b) any act or omission made at the
direction of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (collectively, the items in
(a) and (b) above, “Claims”). The Company and the Subsidiaries shall jointly and
severally defend at their own cost and expense any and all suits or actions
(just or unjust) which may be brought against the Company, any of the
Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, or any Consultant Indemnitee or in
which any Consultant Indemnitee may be impleaded with others upon any Claims, or
upon any matter, directly or indirectly arising out of, related to, caused by,
based upon or in connection with this Agreement, the Services or the performance
(or failure of performance) hereof by any Consultant Indemnitee. Reasonable
expenses incurred by a Consultant Indemnitee entitled to be indemnified under
this Section 6 who was, is or is threatened to be made subject to a Claim shall
be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the Claim upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Consultant Indemnitee to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he, she or it is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company and the Subsidiaries as set forth
herein. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Consultant Indemnitees have
certain rights to advancement and/or indemnification by certain affiliates of
Consultant (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees
(for itself and the Subsidiaries) that the Company and the Subsidiaries are the
indemnitor of first resort (i.e., each such person’s respective obligations to
the Consultant Indemnitees are primary and those of the Fund Indemnitors are
secondary), that the Company and the Subsidiaries are liable for the full amount
of payments of

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

indemnification required by any organizational document of such entity or any
agreement to which such entity is a party, and that the Company (for itself and
the Subsidiaries) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any claims against the
Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation, exoneration, reimbursement or
any other recovery of any kind for which it is liable pursuant to any
organizational document or agreement including this Agreement. The Company (for
itself and the Subsidiaries) further agrees that no payment for indemnification
by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any Consultant Indemnitee with respect to
any claim for which a Consultant Indemnitee has sought payment from it shall
affect the foregoing, and the Fund Indemnitors, to the extent of such payment,
shall be subrogated to all of the rights of recovery of such Consultant
Indemnitee against it.

(b) The Consultant shall reimburse, defend, indemnify and hold the Company and
the Subsidiaries harmless from and against any Liabilities arising out of,
related to, caused by, based upon or in connection with any act or omission of,
or on behalf of, the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, the Consultant or any of
the Consultant Indemnitees, to the extent such Liability shall have been finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly and
primarily from the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Consultant.
