PRIMO WATER CORPORATION

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT




     THIS CERTIFIES THAT for value received, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
                    , or its/his/her permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase up to
                     shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of Primo Water Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), at a purchase price of One Dollar and 25/100 ($1.25) per share (as
adjusted from time to time as herein provided, the “Purchase Price”) upon presentation of this
Warrant, payment of the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased at the principal
office of the Company or at such other place as shall have been designated by the Company, and
subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 1.b. hereof. The number of shares of Common
Stock which are purchasable hereunder, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions below, is hereinafter
referred to as the “Warrant Shares.”



     This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:



     1. Exercise of Warrant.



          a. The vested portion of this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at the Holder’s
election, at any time prior to expiration of the Warrant (subject to Section 6 hereof), which
expiration shall occur upon the earlier of (i) the sixteenth (16th) day after delivery
of a notice of an Exercise Event (as defined below), (ii)                     , or (iii) five (5)
years after the date of exercise of either the put or repurchase rights with respect to the Series
B Non-voting Non-convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Preferred”), as set
forth in that certain Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, dated April
27, 2006 (the “Charter”). The Holder may exercise the vested portion of this Warrant by delivery
to the Company of a written notice of such exercise and the tender to the Company of the Purchase
Price for the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to such exercise of the vested portion of this
Warrant. In case of an exercise to purchase less than all Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder,
the Company shall cancel this Warrant and shall execute and deliver a new warrant of like tenor for
the balance of the shares which may be purchased hereunder. As used herein, “Exercise Event” means
(i) the closing of a public offering of shares of Common





 









 







Stock resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Company of an amount greater than Thirty Million
Dollars ($30,000,000) (a “Qualified Public Offering”), or (ii) closing of a consolidation, merger
or other corporate reorganization, transfer of voting power or sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, which, pursuant to the Charter, may be deemed by the holders of Series B
Preferred as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.




          b. Right to Exercise. Since the Holder’s Subscription Commitment (as defined and set
forth in that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the
Company and the Holder (the “Subscription Agreement”)) may be paid in multiple tranches, and the
total amount of the Warrant Shares purchasable by exercise hereof is calculated based upon payment
of the Holder’s total Subscription Commitment, this Warrant shall vest according to this Section
1.b. At any and all times, this Warrant shall vest and become exercisable in cumulative amounts
(expressed as a percentage of the total Warrant) equal to that percentage of the total Subscription
Commitment as is paid by the Holder to the Company at any such time, with such applicable
percentage of this Warrant becoming vested and exercisable immediately upon each payment towards
the total Subscription Commitment. This Warrant shall become fully vested and exercisable upon
Holder’s payment to the Company of the entire Subscription Commitment. The foregoing vesting
provision is cumulative, such that the Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant has become
exercisable, may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant at any subsequent date prior
to the termination or expiration of this Warrant.




     2. Compliance with Securities Laws. The Holder of this Warrant, by its/his/her
acceptance hereof, represents and acknowledges that this Warrant is acquired for the Holder’s own
account for investment purposes only and that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise hereof, respectively, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Accordingly, any transfer of this Warrant and such Warrant Shares shall be subject to
legal restrictions. The Holder agrees that it/he/she will not offer for sale or sell, assign or
pledge, or otherwise dispose of (except through exercise) this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued
to the Holder pursuant to exercise hereof, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.



     3. Shares of Common Stock in Reserve. The Company agrees at all times to reserve a
sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for the purposes of the
exercise of this Warrant, and to take such action as may be necessary to ensure that all Warrant
Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be duly and validly authorized and issued and
fully paid and nonassessable.



     4. No Voting or Dividend Rights: This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company, and no dividend or interest shall be
payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the Warrant
Shares which may be purchased hereunder until and unless, and except to the extent that, this
Warrant shall be exercised.



     5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares:



2









 





          a. The Purchase Price hereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time. In case
the Company shall (a) pay a dividend on its Common Stock in Common Stock, (b) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then, in such an event, the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted proportionately so that the adjusted Purchase
Price will bear the same relation to the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to any
such event as the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
any such event shall bear to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Subsection 5.a. (a) shall
become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and (b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or combination. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the
same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein.




          b. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to subsection 5.a., the number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the
number of shares of Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, obtained by
multiplying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment upon the exercise of this Warrant, (ii) by the Purchase Price in effect prior to
such adjustment, and (iii) dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.




          c. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of
the Common Stock, this Warrant shall be exercisable after such capital reorganization or
reclassification upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant, for the number of
shares of stock or other securities which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such
capital reorganization or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant would have been
entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization or reclassification if such exercise
had taken place immediately prior to such action. The subdivision or combination of shares
of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company for
the purposes of this Subsection 5.c.




          d. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall
compute the adjusted Purchase Price in accordance with Subsection 5.a. and shall prepare a
certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth the adjusted Purchase Price
and showing in reasonable detail the method of such adjustment and the fact requiring the
adjustment and upon which such calculation is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be
forwarded to the Holder.




          e. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any change in the Purchase
Price pursuant to this Section 5, and any Warrant issued after such change may state the
same Purchase Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as


3









 







are stated in this Warrant as initially issued. The Company, however, may at any time
in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of this
Warrant that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof. Any
Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an
outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.




     6. Notices to Holder of an Exercise Event. In case of an Exercise Event, the Company
shall use reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the date of consummation of such Exercise Event a notice setting forth (i) the occurrence
of the Exercise Event, (ii) the anticipated date of consummation of such Exercise Event, and (iii)
a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Exercise Event. For purposes hereof,
notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be deemed effectively
given upon personal delivery, upon confirmed delivery by facsimile, on the next day following
delivery by a reputable overnight courier, or on the third day following mailing by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the address set forth in
the Company’s records.



     7. Replacement Warrant for Lost Certificate: Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and,
in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto (and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant if mutilated), the Company will execute and deliver a
new warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant.



     8. Assignability and Binding Effect: This Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of any and all successors and assigns of the Holder and the Company; provided, however,
that no Assignment (as defined below) may be made by the Holder except for an Assignment to an
Approved Party (as defined below). Any Assignment made without first complying with the provisions
of this Section 8 shall be void and of no legal effect.



     9. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this
Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform
any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the prior written
consent of the Holder.



4









 





     10. Entire Agreement. This Warrant and the Subscription Agreement supersede any and
all other understandings and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and constitute the only agreement between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.



     11. Definitions. As used herein:




     a. “Affiliates” means with respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such Person. For the purposes of
this definition, “control” (including correlative meanings, such as the terms “controlling”
“controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means the
possession, directly, indirectly or beneficially, of either: (i) fifty-one (51%) equity
ownership; or (ii) the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies
of that Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or
otherwise.




     b. “Approved Party” means: (i) Affiliates; (ii) parents (including step-parents and
adoptive parents) and children (including step-children, adopted children and children of
the half-blood); (iii) partners or retired partners of a partnership, or members or retired
members in a limited liability company; or (iv) Persons to whom an Assignment is made with
the prior written approval of the Company. The Company’s approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, provided that, it may refuse such approval if the proposed assignee is reasonably
believed by the Company to be a competitor of the Company.




     c. “Assignment” means any sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance or other transfer
or disposition of this Warrant;




     d. “Person” means an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability
company, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated
