NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises contained herein and of other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 1. POSITION
AND DUTIES. 
 (a) GENERAL. During the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2 hereof), the Executive shall serve as
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In this capacity, the Executive shall have the duties, authorities and responsibilities commensurate with the duties, authorities and responsibilities of persons in similar capacities in similarly sized

the Executive shall report directly to the Board. The Board shall take such action as may be necessary to appoint or elect the Executive as a member of the Board as of the Effective Date. Thereafter, during the Term, the Board shall nominate the
Executive for re-election as a member of the Board at the expiration of the then current term; provided, that, the foregoing nomination shall not be required to the extent prohibited by legal or regulatory requirements. The Executive’s primary
working location will be at the Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, AZ, subject to such business travel as may be necessary for the Executive to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder.

the Executive’s time and best efforts to the performance of the Executive’s duties with the Company; provided, that, the foregoing shall not prevent the Executive from, (i) with prior written consent of the Board (exclusive of the
Executive for this purpose), serving on the board of directors or as a member of a committee of one organization, (ii) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs, and (iii) managing the
Executive’s passive personal investments, so long as such activities, either individually or in the aggregate, do not interfere or conflict with the Executive’s duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. 

2. EMPLOYMENT TERM. The Company agrees to continue to employ the Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Executive
agrees to continue to be so employed, effective as of the Effective Date and continuing until the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated in accordance with Section 7 hereof, subject to the provisions of Section 8

Performance Bonus opportunity shall equal 100% of his Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”) and maximum Annual Performance Bonus opportunity shall equal 150% of his Base Salary, with the actual Annual Performance Bonus amount determined

any time.

Sections 9, 10 and 11 hereof, an amount equal to the product of (A) two (2), multiplied by (B) the sum of the Executive’s (I) Base Salary and (II) Target Bonus, paid monthly in accordance with the
Company’s payroll practices in effect on the date of termination for a period of twenty-four (24) months following such termination; provided, that, to the extent that the payment of any amount constitutes “nonqualified deferred

regularly scheduled pay period following the sixtieth (60th) day following such termination and shall include payment of any amount that was otherwise scheduled to be paid prior thereto. 

Payments and benefits provided in this Section 8(d) shall be in lieu of any termination or severance payments or benefits for which the Executive

(f) EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. The amounts payable to the Executive following termination of employment and the Employment Term hereunder
pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall be in full and complete satisfaction of the Executive’s rights under this Agreement and any other claims that the Executive may have in respect of the Executive’s employment with the Company
or any of its affiliates, and the Executive acknowledges that such amounts are fair and reasonable, and are the Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu of all other remedies at law or in equity, with respect to the termination of the
Executive’s employment hereunder or any breach of this Agreement. 
 9. RELEASE; SET-OFFS. Any and all amounts payable and
benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement (beyond the Accrued Benefits) shall only be payable if the Executive executes, delivers to the Company and does not revoke a general release of claims in substantially the form

hereof, the Company’s obligations to pay the Executive amounts hereunder shall be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by the Executive to the Company or any of its affiliates.

 10. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. 

(a) CONFIDENTIALITY. During the course of the Executive’s employment and service with the Company, the Executive has had, and will
continue to have, access to Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means the Company Group’s or its affiliates’ confidential and/or proprietary information and/or trade secrets
that have been developed or used and/or will be developed and that cannot be obtained readily by third parties from outside sources, and includes, by way of example and without limitation, all data, information, ideas, concepts, discoveries, trade
secrets, inventions (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice), innovations, improvements, know-how, developments, techniques, methods, processes, treatments, drawings, sketches, specifications, designs, patterns, models, plans and
strategies, and all other confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in any form or medium (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form or medium) whether now or hereafter existing, relating to or arising
from the past, current or potential business, activities and/or operations of the Company Group or any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, any such information relating to or concerning finances, sales, marketing, advertising,
transition, promotions, pricing, personnel, customers, suppliers, vendors, raw partners and/or competitors. The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to
any person, other than in the course of the Executive’s assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company Group, either during the period of the Executive’s employment or service or at any time thereafter, any Confidential Information or
other confidential or proprietary information received from third parties subject to a duty on the Company Group’s and its affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and to use such information only for certain
limited purposes, in each case, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by or service to the Company (or any predecessor). The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was known to the
public prior to its disclosure to the Executive; (ii) becomes generally known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Executive through no wrongful act of the Executive or any representative of the Executive; or (iii) the Executive
is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided, that, the Executive provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and reasonably cooperates with the Company at the Company’s expense in
seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). 
 (i) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict
the Company, the Company’s affiliates, the Executive or their respective attorneys from: (A) making any disclosure of relevant and necessary information or documents in any action, investigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or
as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; (B) participating, cooperating or testifying in any action, investigation or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or
legislative body, any self-regulatory organization and/or pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; or (C) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission awards. In addition, nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts the Company, the
Company’s affiliates or the Executive from initiating communications with, or responding to any inquiry from, any regulatory or supervisory authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation. 

(ii) Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret
law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company or its affiliates that (A) is made (I) in confidence to a Federal, State or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to the Executive’s attorney and (II)
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If the Executive files a 

  
 7 













 lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may
disclose the trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the Executive files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret except under
court order. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. 

(b) NONCOMPETITION. The Executive acknowledges that (i) the Executive performs services of a unique nature for the Company Group,
and that the Executive’s performance of such services to a competing business may result in irreparable harm to the Company Group, (ii) the Executive has had and will continue to have access to Confidential Information which, if disclosed,
may unfairly and inappropriately assist in competition against the Company Group or any of its affiliates, (iii) in the course of the Executive’s employment by a competitor, the Executive inevitable would use or disclose such Confidential
Information, (iv) the Company Group and its affiliates have substantial relationships with their customers and the Executive has had and may continue to have access to these customers, (v) the Executive has received and will receive
specialized training from the Company Group and its affiliates, and (vi) the Executive has generated and will continue to generate goodwill for the Company Group and its affiliates in the course of the Executive’s employment and service.
Accordingly, during the Executive’s employment or service with the Company Group and for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate,
control, be employed by (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, and whether or not for compensation) or render services to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in whatever form, engaged in (A) the
sale of pool, spa and related equipment and supplies and/or the service of swimming pools or (B) any other line of business in which the Company Group was engaged at any time during the twenty-four (24) months preceding the date of the
Executive’s termination of employment and service (the “Restricted Business”) within (I) the United States or (II) any other country in which the Company Group conducts the Restricted Business during the Executive’s
employment or service with the Company Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than five percent (5%) of the equity securities of a publicly traded corporation
engaged in a business that is in competition with the Company Group or any of its affiliates, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. 

(c) NONSOLICITATION; NONINTERFERENCE. During the Executive’s employment or service with the Company Group and for a period of
twenty-four (24) months thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, except in the furtherance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation
or other entity, (i) solicit, aid or induce any customer of the Company Group or any of its affiliates to purchase goods or services related to the Restricted Business from another person, firm, corporation or other entity or assist or aid any
other person or entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer, (ii) solicit, aid or induce any employee, representative or agent of the Company Group or any of its affiliates to leave such employment or retention or to accept employment
with or render services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company Group or hire or retain any such employee, representative or agent, or take any action to materially assist or aid any other person,
firm, corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such employee, representative or agent; or (iii) intentionally 

  
 8 













 interfere, or intentionally aid or induce any other person or entity in interfering, with the relationship
between the Company Group or any of its affiliates and any of their respective vendors, joint venturers or licensors which causes harm to the Company Group. An employee, representative or agent shall be deemed covered by this
Section 10(c) while so employed or retained and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10(c) shall not be violated by general advertising or solicitation
not specifically targeted at Company Group-related persons or entities. 
 (d) NONDISPARAGEMENT. Subject to Sections 10(a)(i)
and 10(a)(ii) hereof, the Executive agrees not to make negative comments or otherwise disparage the Company Group or its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, agents or products other than in the good faith performance of the
Executive’s duties to the Company. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation,
depositions in connection with such proceedings). 
 (e) INVENTIONS. 

(i) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all ideas, methods, inventions, discoveries, improvements, work products, developments,
software, know-how, processes, techniques, methods, works of authorship and other work product, whether patentable or unpatentable, (A) that are reduced to practice, created, invented, designed, developed, contributed to, or improved with the
use of any Company Group resources and/or within the scope of the Executive’s work with the Company Group and that are made or conceived by the Executive, solely or jointly with others, during the period of the Executive’s employment or
service with the Company Group (or any of its predecessors in interest), whether before or after the Effective Date, or (B) suggested by any work that the Executive performs in connection with the Company Group (or any of its predecessors in
interest), either while performing the Executive’s duties with the Company Group (or any of its predecessors in interest) or on the Executive’s own time, but only insofar as the Inventions are related to the Executive’s work as an
employee or other service provider to the Company Group (or any of its predecessors in interest), shall belong exclusively to the Company Group (or its designee), whether or not patent or other applications for intellectual property protection are
filed thereon (the “Inventions”). The Executive will keep full and complete written records (the “Records”), in the manner prescribed by the Company Group, of all Inventions, and will promptly disclose all
Inventions completely and in writing to the Company Group. The Records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company Group, and the Executive will surrender them upon the termination of the Employment Term, or upon the Company Group’s
request. The Executive will assign to the Company Group the Inventions and all patents or other intellectual property rights that may issue thereon in any and all countries, whether during or subsequent to the Employment Term, together with the
right to file, in the Executive’s name or in the name of the Company Group (or its designee), applications for patents and equivalent rights (the “Applications”). The Executive will, at any time during and subsequent to the
Employment Term, make such applications, sign such papers, take all rightful oaths, and perform all other acts as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Company Group to perfect, record, enforce, protect, patent or register the Company
Group’s rights in the Inventions, all without additional compensation to the Executive from the Company Group. The Executive will also execute assignments to the Company Group (or its designee) of the Applications, and give the Company Group
and its attorneys all reasonable assistance (including the giving of testimony) to obtain the Inventions for the Company Group’s benefit, all without additional compensation to the Executive from the Company Group, but entirely at the Company
Group’s expense. 

  
 9 













 (ii) In addition, the Inventions will be deemed Work for Hire, as such term is defined under
the copyright laws of the United States, on behalf of the Company Group and the Executive agrees that the Company Group will be the sole owner of the Inventions, and all underlying rights therein, in all media now known or hereinafter devised,
throughout the universe and in perpetuity without any further obligations to the Executive. If the Inventions, or any portion thereof, are deemed not to be Work for Hire, or the rights in such Inventions do not otherwise automatically vest in the
Company Group, the Executive hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company Group, all rights, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, in and to the Inventions, including, without
limitation, all of the Executive’s right, title and interest in the copyrights (and all renewals, revivals and extensions thereof) to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all rights of any kind or any nature now or hereafter
recognized, including, without limitation, the unrestricted right to make modifications, adaptations and revisions to the Inventions, to exploit and allow others to exploit the Inventions and all rights to sue at law or in equity for any
infringement, or other unauthorized use or conduct in derogation of the Inventions, whether known or unknown as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the right to receive all proceeds and damages from any of the foregoing. In
addition, the Executive hereby waives any so-called “moral rights” with respect to the Inventions. To the extent that the Executive has any rights in the results and proceeds of the Executive’s service to the Company Group that cannot
be assigned in the manner described herein, the Executive agrees to unconditionally waive the enforcement of such rights. The Executive hereby waives any and all currently existing and future monetary rights in and to the Inventions and all patents
and other registrations for intellectual property that may issue thereon, including, without limitation, any rights that would otherwise accrue to the Executive’s benefit by virtue of the Executive being an employee of or other service provider
to the Company Group (or any of its predecessors in interest). 
 (f) RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY. On the date of the Executive’s
termination of employment with the Company Group for any reason (or at any time prior thereto at the Company Group’s request), the Executive shall return all property belonging to the Company Group or its affiliates (including, but not limited
to, any Company Group-provided laptops, computers, cell phones, wireless electronic mail devices or other equipment, or documents and property belonging to the Company Group). 

(g) REASONABLENESS OF COVENANTS. In signing this Agreement, the Executive gives the Company Group assurance that the Executive has
carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under this Section 10. The Executive agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of
the Company Group and its affiliates and their Confidential Information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect of subject matter, length of time and geographic area, and that these restraints, individually or in the
aggregate, will not prevent the Executive from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Executive is bound by the restraints. The Executive acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique,


  
 10 













 very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company Group and its affiliates and that the Executive has
sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. The Executive further covenants that the Executive will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this
Section 10. It is also agreed that each of the Company Group’s affiliates will have the right to enforce all of the Executive’s obligations to that affiliate under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this
Section 10. 
 (h) REFORMATION. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in
this Section 10 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the
maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state. 
 (i) TOLLING. In the event of any violation of the provisions of this
Section 10 by the Executive, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictions contained in this Section 10 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it being the
intention of the parties hereto that the running of the applicable post-termination restriction period shall be tolled during any period of such violation. 

(j) SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The obligations contained in these Sections 10 and 11 hereof shall survive the termination or
expiration of the Employment Term and the Executive’s employment or service with the Company Group and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. 

11. COOPERATION. Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company Group (including its outside counsel), the Executive agrees that
while employed by, or providing services to, the Company Group and thereafter, the Executive will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which the Executive has knowledge as a result of the Executive’s employment or service
with the Company Group, and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company Group, its affiliates and their respective representatives in defense of all claims that may be made against the Company Group or its affiliates, and will assist the
Company Group and its affiliates in the prosecution of all claims that may be made by the Company Group or its affiliates, to the extent that such claims may relate to the period of the Executive’s employment or service with the Company Group.
The Executive agrees to promptly inform the Company Group if the Executive becomes aware of any lawsuit involving such claims that is likely to be filed or threatened against the Company Group or its affiliates. The Executive also agrees to promptly
inform the Company Group (to the extent that the Executive is legally permitted to do so) if the Executive is asked to assist in any investigation of the Company Group or its affiliates (or their actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit or other
proceeding has then been filed against the Company Group or its affiliates with respect to such investigation, and shall not do so unless legally required. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable expenses he incurs in connection
with his cooperation under this provision.

 12. EQUITABLE RELIEF AND OTHER REMEDIES. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
the Company Group’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections 10 or 11 hereof would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that, in the event of such a
breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company Group shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
equitable remedy which may then be available, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages or the posting of a bond or other security. In the event of a violation by the Executive of Sections 10 or 11 hereof, any severance
being paid to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately cease, and any severance previously paid to the Executive shall be immediately repaid to the Company Group. 

13. NO ASSIGNMENTS. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto. Except as provided in this Section 13 hereof,
no party may assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto. The Company may assign this Agreement to its affiliate or to any successor to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company; provided, that, the Company shall require such affiliate or successor to expressly assume 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. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company and any affiliate or successor to its business and/or assets, which assumes and agrees to perform the duties and
obligations of the Company under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. 
 14. NOTICE. For purposes of this Agreement,
notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery, if delivered by hand, (b) on the date of transmission, if delivered by

 15. SECTION HEADINGS; INCONSISTENCY. The section headings used in this Agreement are
included solely for convenience and shall not affect, or be used in connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any form, award, plan or policy of the Company
Group, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control. 
 16. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 18. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. This Agreement, the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto, and all claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof. Each of the parties
agrees that any dispute between the parties shall be resolved only in the courts of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts. In
that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment by the Company or any
affiliate, or for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof (a “Proceeding”), to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, the court of the United States of America for the District
of Delaware, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Delaware State court or, to the extent permitted by law,
in such federal court, (b) consents that any such Proceeding may and shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that the Executive or the Company may now or thereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such Proceeding in
any such court or that such Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same, (c) WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY, OR THE EXECUTIVE’S OR THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE UNDER, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, (d) agrees that service of
process in any such Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at the Executive’s or the Company’s address as
provided in Section 14 hereof, and (e) agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. Except as provided in
Section 10(g) hereof, the parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with any dispute hereunder, each party shall pay all of its own costs and expenses, including, without limitation, its own legal fees and expenses. 

  
 13 













 19. MISCELLANEOUS. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer or director of the Company as may be designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by
the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent
time. This Agreement, together with Exhibit A hereto, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the Executive
and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the offer letter between the Executive and the Company dated December 19, 2019 and the Existing Agreement. No agreements or representations, oral or
otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

20. REPRESENTATIONS; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the Executive has the
legal right to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of the obligations on the Executive’s part to be performed hereunder in accordance with its terms, and (b) the Executive is not a party to any agreement or understanding, written
or oral, and is not subject to any restriction, which, in either case, could prevent the Executive from entering into this Agreement or performing all of the Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder. The Executive confirms that the
Executive has disclosed to the Company any and all agreements relating to the Executive’s prior employment or engagements that may affect the Executive’s eligibility to be employed by the Company or limit the manner in which the Executive
may be employed. Promptly following the Company’s request, the Executive agrees to sign an acknowledgement that the Executive has read and understands the Company’s rules of conduct that are included in the Company Handbook. 

21. TAX MATTERS. 
 (a)
WITHHOLDING. The Company Group may withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 

(b) SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE. 

(i) To the extent applicable, the intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.
To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit
to the Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A. In no event whatsoever shall the Company Group be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the
Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. 

  
 14 













 (ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any
provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for
purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if the Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is
considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of
(A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (B) the date of the Executive’s death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon
the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 21(b)(ii) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be
paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. 

(iii) To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (A) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the
Executive, (B) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in- kind benefits provided in any
taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. 

(iv) For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be
treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within
the sole discretion of the Company. 
 (v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any
payment or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

 EXHIBIT A 

GENERAL RELEASE 

I, Michael R. Egeck, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Leslie’s, Inc. (together with its affiliates, the
“Company”), of its obligations under Section 8 of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2020 (the “Agreement”), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date
hereof the Company and all present, former and future directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its direct or indirect owners (collectively, the “Released Parties”) to
the extent provided herein (this “General Release”). The Released Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof
in respect of the rights granted to such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. 

1. I understand that, other than the Accrued Benefits, the payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 8 of the Agreement represent, in part,
consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Section 8 of the Agreement, other than
the Accrued Benefits, unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes
of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its affiliates. 
 2. Except as provided
in paragraphs 4 and 5 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself and my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns)
release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or
exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date on which I execute this General Release) and whether known or unknown,
suspected or claimed against the Company and/or any of the Released Parties, which I, my spouse or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns ever had, now have, or hereafter may have, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever,
from the beginning of my initial dealings with the Company to the date on which I execute this General Release, and particularly, but without limitation of the foregoing general terms, any claims arising from or relating in any way to my employment
relationship with Company, the terms and conditions of that employment relationship, and the termination of that employment relationship (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or
local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human 

  
 2 













 
rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices
or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of
the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”). I understand and intend that this General Release constitutes a general release of all claims and that no reference herein to a specific form of claim, statute or type
of relief is intended to limit the scope of this General Release. 
 3. I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand,
cause of action or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above. 
 4. I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I
may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement
shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967). 
 5.
I agree that I hereby waive all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, reinstatement, back pay, front pay and any form of injunctive
relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative
investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding. 

6. In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or
implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state or local
statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver
is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event that I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company
or any Released Party, or in the event that I should seek to recover against the Company or any Released Party in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims to the
maximum extent permitted by law. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending claim, or of any facts that could give rise to a claim, of the type described in paragraph 2 as of the execution of this General Release. 

7. I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be
an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct. 

  
 3 













 8. I agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Agreement if I challenge
the validity of this General Release. I also agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and return all payments received by me pursuant to the Agreement on or after the termination of my employment. 
 9. I agree
that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel that I have
consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law and except as provided in Sections 10(a)(i) and 10(a)(ii) of the Agreement, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone. 

10. Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General
Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity. 

11. I hereby acknowledge that Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, and 21 of the Agreement shall survive my execution of this General Release.

 12. I represent that I am not aware of any Claim by me, and I acknowledge that I may hereafter discover Claims or facts in addition to or different than
those which I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have materially affected this General
Release and my decision to enter into it. 
 13. Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish,
diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof. 

14. Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other
jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This General Release constitutes the complete and entire
agreement and understanding among the parties, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, commitments, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral, between or among any of the parties, in each case concerning the
subject matter hereof.
