 Exhibit 10.11 
 MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 This MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is entered into as of March 31, 2011, by and among, Nexeo Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries and any successor, the
“Company”), and TPG Capital, L.P. (the “Manager”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company
wishes to retain the Manager to provide certain management and advisory services to the Company, and the Manager is willing to provide such services on the terms set forth below. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby
agree as follows: 
 1. Services. The Manager hereby agrees that, during the term of this Agreement (the
“Term”), it will provide to the Company, to the extent appropriate and requested by the Company, by and through itself and/or its successors, assigns, affiliates, officers, employees and/or representatives and third parties
(collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Manager Designees”), as the Manager in its sole discretion may designate from time to time, management, advisory and consulting services in relation to the affairs of the Company,
including, without limitation: 
 (a) advice in connection with the negotiation of agreements and other
documents and the consummation of transactions contemplated thereby necessary to secure financing arrangements for the benefit of the Company on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company; 

(b) advice in connection with acquisition, disposition and change of control transactions involving the Company;

 (c) financial, managerial and operational advice in connection with day-to-day operations, including, without
limitation, advice with respect to the development and implementation of strategies for improving the operating, marketing and financial performance of the Company; and 

(d) such other services (which may include, but shall not be limited to, financial, strategic planning and analysis,
consulting, human resources and executive recruitment services) as the Manager and the Company may from time to time agree in writing. 
 The
Manager or the Manager Designees will devote such time and efforts to the performance of the services contemplated hereby as the Manager deems reasonably necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that no minimum number of hours is required
to be devoted by the Manager or the Manager Designees on a weekly, monthly, annual or other basis. The Company acknowledges that none of the services to be provided by the Manager are exclusive to the Company and that the Manager and the Manager
Designees may render similar services to other persons and entities. The Manager and the Company understand that the Company may at times engage one or more investment bankers or financial advisers to provide services in addition to,








 
but not in lieu of, services provided by the Manager and the Manager Designees under this Agreement. In providing services to the Company, the Manager and Manager Designees will act as
independent contractors and it is expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement is not intended to create, and does not create, any partnership, agency, joint venture or similar relationship and that no party has the right or ability to
contract for or on behalf of any other party or to effect any transaction for the account of any other party. 
 2.
Payment of Fees. 
 (a) Upon execution of this Agreement on the date hereof, the Company will pay
to the Manager (or any of its designated affiliates) an aggregate transaction fee equal to $15,000,000 (fifteen million dollars) (the “Transaction Fee”). 

(b) During the Term, the Company, will pay to the Manager (or any of its designated affiliates), in each case as
compensation for the services provided by the Manager or the Manager Designees under this Agreement, the following management fees (collectively, the “Management Fees”): (i) $750,000 (seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars) per fiscal quarter (the “Minimum Fee”), payable in advance on the first day of each calendar quarter and (ii) an amount, which shall never be less than zero, equal to (x) 2% (two percent) of the
Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter minus (y) the Minimum Fee for such quarter (the “Percentage Fee”). The Percentage Fee shall be payable by the Company as soon as
practicable following the determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. “Adjusted EBITDA” means the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries (excluding nonrecurring gains and losses) set forth on the Company’s statement of earnings with additional adjustments as the Manager may approve. The Management Fees shall be payable in full for any calendar quarter
during which this Agreement was in effect for any portion thereof and shall not be refundable in whole or in part. 
 (c) During the Term, the Manager or the Manager Designees may advise the Company in connection with financing, acquisition, disposition and change of control transactions involving the Company (however
structured), and the Company will pay to the Manager (or any of its designated affiliates) an aggregate fee (the “ Subsequent Fee”) in connection with each such transaction as mutually agreed between the Manager and the
Company, such fee to be due and payable for the foregoing services at the closing of such transaction. 
 (d) The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that an objective of the Company is to maximize value for its direct and indirect equity holders, which may include the consummation of an initial registered public offering of the equity securities or equity
interests of the Company or its successors (an “IPO”) or the sale of the Company or its successors (through merger or otherwise) or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or its successors (any such
sale transaction, a “Sale”). The services provided to the Company by the Manager and the Manager Designees will help to facilitate the consummation of an IPO or Sale should the Company determine to pursue such a transaction.
In the event an IPO or Sale is consummated, the Company will 

  
 2 








 
pay to the Manager (or any of its designated affiliates) in cash on the date of consummation of such IPO or Sale (in lieu of any Subsequent Fee) an aggregate success fee (the “Success
Fee”) in an amount equal to the Management Fees in respect of the most recent four consecutive calendar quarters multiplied by three (3). 
 (e) Each payment made pursuant to this Section 2 shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the accounts as the Manager may specify to the Company in writing
prior to such payment. In the event of an IPO or Sale that includes non-cash consideration, the Manager may elect for it or its designee to receive all or any portion of its respective fee in the form of such non-cash consideration, valued at the
sale price. 
 3. Deferral. Any fee that would have been payable to the Manager (or its designees) pursuant
to Section 2 above absent the restrictions, if any, in any financing or similar agreements (the “Financing Documents”) applicable to the Company (the “Deferred Fees”) will accrue upon the
immediately succeeding period in which such amounts could, consistent with the Financing Documents, be paid, and will be paid in such succeeding period (in addition to such other amounts that would otherwise be payable at such time) in the manner
set forth in Section 2. 
 4. Term. This Agreement will continue in full force and effect
unless terminated by the Manager; provided that the termination of this Agreement will not relieve a party from liability for any breach of this Agreement on or prior to such termination. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, the
Company will pay the Manager (or its designees) all unpaid Transaction Fees (pursuant to Section 2(a) above), Management Fees (pursuant to Section 2(b) above), Subsequent Fees (pursuant to Section 2(c) above),
Success Fees (pursuant to Section 2(d) above), Deferred Fees (pursuant to Section 3 above) and expenses (pursuant to Section 5(a) below) due with respect to periods prior to the date of termination. This
Section 4 and Section 5, Section 6, Section 9, Section 10, Section 11 and Section 12 and Section 13 will survive termination of this Agreement.

 5. Expenses; Indemnification. 

(a) Expenses. The Company, will pay to the Manager (or its designees) on demand all Reimbursable Expenses incurred
by the Manager (or its designees). “Reimbursable Expenses” means (i) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred prior to or following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement of Purchase and Sale,
dated as of November 5, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Ashland Inc., a Kentucky corporation, and the Company (the “Transaction”) in respect of the services provided by the Manager,
its affiliates or the Manager Designees to the Company or any of its affiliates (other than to portfolio companies of the Manager or the Manager’s affiliated investment vehicles) from time to time, (ii) all out-of-pocket legal expenses
incurred by the Manager, its affiliates or the Manager Designees in connection with the enforcement of rights or taking of actions under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any related documents or instruments, whether incurred prior to or
following the date of this Agreement; and (iii) all expenses incurred by the Manager, its affiliates or the Manager Designees that are properly allocable to the Company under this Agreement, whether incurred prior to or following the date of

 (b) Indemnity and Liability. The Company will indemnify,
exonerate and hold the Manager, the Manager Designees and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, affiliates, associated investment funds, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling persons, employees and agents and
each of the partners, shareholders, members, affiliates, associated investment funds, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the
“Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees
and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of any action, cause of action, suit, arbitration, investigation
or claim arising out of, or in any way relating to (i) this Agreement, the Formation Agreement, any transaction to which the Company is a party or any other circumstances with respect to the Company or (ii) operations of, or services
provided by the Manager or the Manager Designees to, the Company, or any of its affiliates (other than to portfolio companies of the Manager or the Manager’s affiliated investment vehicles) from time to time (including but not limited to any
Indemnitee to or on behalf of the Company, or any of its accountants or other representatives, agents or affiliates); provided that the foregoing indemnification rights will not be available to the extent that any such Indemnified Liabilities
arose on account of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees
to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For purposes of this Section 5(b), none of the circumstances described in the limitations
contained in the two provisos in the immediately preceding sentence will be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined
to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Company, then such payments will be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Company without interest. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder
will be in addition to any other rights any such person may have under any other agreement or instrument referenced above or any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or
under law or regulation. 
 6. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability; Opportunities.

warranties, express or implied, in respect of the services to be provided by the Manager or the Manager Designees hereunder. In no event will the Manager, the Manager Designees or Indemnitees be liable to the Company or any of its affiliates for any
act, alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager, the Manager Designees or Indemnitees as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
