 RE: Terms of Employment 
 Dear Paul: 

As you know, J2 Acquisition Limited (“J2”) is entering into an agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) to acquire all of the outstanding
common stock of APi Group, Inc. (“APi”). At the closing of the transaction, APi will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of J2. On behalf of J2 and APi, we are pleased to confirm that your current employment with APi or one of its
subsidiaries (your “Employer”) will continue following the completion of the transaction, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”). 

SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITIES 
 You will continue to report to
Russ Becker, CEO of APi, fulfilling similar duties and responsibilities to those that you have as of the date of this letter. It is contemplated that APi will realign its business unit reporting following the completion of the transaction and your
duties and responsibilities will evolve to reflect this realignment of operating units. 
 During your employment with Employer you will follow the
policies, procedures and practices of APi as amended from time to time, including, without limitation, APi’s Code of Conduct. 
 EFFECTIVE DATE

 The provisions of this Agreement shall be effective as of the completion of the Transaction, which is expected to be on or around October 1, 2019
(the “Closing”). In the event the Transaction Agreement is terminated or abandoned and/or the Closing does not occur, this Agreement shall be null and void. 












 COMPENSATION PACKAGE 

Effective as of the date of Closing, your base compensation (“Annual Base Pay”) will be increased to the amount set forth on the signature
page to this Agreement, payable in regular payroll instalments (each payment, referred to herein as the “Periodic Base Pay”), consistent with other employees of your level in accordance with APi’s policies and applicable law (pro-rated for payroll purposes in the first and last months in which your service is provided in proportion to the number of days of service in that pay period) and subject to applicable withholdings and
deductions. Your Annual Base Pay will be reviewed in July 2020 and thereafter on an annual basis consistent with other employees at APi. 
 For the
fiscal years ending December 31, 2019 and 2020 your bonus will be decided on a discretionary basis by the CEO of APi. Based on the continuation of current performance, your bonus for 2019 will be the amount set forth on the signature page to
this Agreement. For 2020, your bonus will be determined on a discretionary basis consistent with 2019, subject to final approval by the Compensation Committee. 

Beginning with the fiscal year ending in 2021 and in each fiscal year thereafter, you will be eligible to receive a
year-end performance bonus based upon achieving a target established by the CEO of APi, as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of J2 (the “Compensation Committee”), The
actual fiscal year-end bonus, to the extent earned by you, will be paid (less any applicable withholdings) at the time annual bonuses are paid to the senior officers generally. 

LONG TERM INCENTIVE: 
 On or promptly after the completion
of the Transaction, you will be awarded the number of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) set forth on the signature page to this Agreement, under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan adopted by J2 (or any replacement thereof) (the
“Equity Plan”). 
 This initial grant of RSUs will vest ratably over a three-year period, with one third of the RSUs vesting on each of the first
three anniversaries of the Closing, subject to your continued employment with the Employer, and to the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement. 












 Effective January 1, 2021 and each year thereafter, you will be eligible to receive annual long-term
incentive awards under the Equity Plan. The determination of the amount of performance or time based awards shall be made in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee and any awards will be subject to vesting and performance targets
determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will make such determinations with respect to your awards on the same basis as it does in determining the awards for the other senior officers. The material terms of each grant
shall be set forth in an individual grant agreement to be entered into between J2 and you. 
 BENEFITS 

You will be continue to be entitled to receive the number of hours total paid time off (PTO) annually which you were receiving immediately prior to Closing,
the amount of which is set forth on the signature page to this Agreement (excluding fixed company holidays). You will also continue to be eligible to participate in such health care and 401-K plans and other
benefits as are customarily provided by APi to its employees generally, as the same may be modified from time to time. In addition you will continue to be eligible to receive those fringe benefits you were receiving immediately prior to Closing, the
benefits and amounts of which are set forth on the signature page to this Agreement. 
 AT WILL EMPLOYMENT 

Employment is at the mutual consent of each employee and APi. Accordingly, employees and APi retain the right to terminate the employment relationship at will,
at any time, with or without cause or notice. However, if APi terminates your employment without Cause (as defined in the Equity Plan), providing you sign APi’s standard release letter and other standard termination documentation within thirty
(30) days of the date of termination and provided that you continue to abide by the terms and conditions of any restrictive covenant agreement entered into by and between you and APi (including, without limitation, any confidentiality,
noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements), you will receive severance pay (the “Severance Amount”) equal to 200% of your Annual Base Pay as of the time of your termination, less applicable income and employment tax withholdings,
payable in equal installments over a 24-month period following termination of your employment in accordance with APi’s normal payroll processing (the “Severance Period”). 












 CONFIDENTIALITY 

All information and matters concerning the practice, business, dealings, transactions, or affairs of J2, APi, or any of the affiliates, customers, shareholders
or clients of either of them (collectively, “Representatives”), or as to any other matter which may come to your knowledge in connection with or by reason of your service with J2, APi or any of its affiliates, are to be treated as strictly
confidential and should not be disclosed to any person, firm, or company directly or indirectly, except to the extent such information is public information having been made public other than by your actions, or is known to you independently of

J2, APi and its affiliates. Moreover, you are not to use, in connection with your service with J2, APi or any of its affiliates, or to disclose to J2, APi or any of its affiliates or any other person in connection with your service, any information
