**Explanatory Note**

On March 8, 2023, Diversey Holdings, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "<u>Company</u>"), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "<u>Original 8-K</u>") disclosing its entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "<u>Merger Agreement</u>"), by and among Olympus Water Holdings IV, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("<u>Parent</u>"), acting by its general partner, Olympus Water Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability, Diamond Merger Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("<u>Merger Sub</u>"), and the Company, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "<u>Merger</u>"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. This Amendment No. 1 to the Original 8-K is being filed solely to: (i) file certain exhibits to the Original 8-K; (ii) clarify that there was a typographical error in the second sentence of the paragraph entitled, "Rollover Agreement," in Item 1.01, which in the Original 8-K stated that the Rollover Shares may be subject to increase of up to 56.2% of the Shares held by BCPE at Topco's election prior to the closing of the Merger. The correct amount of such increase is approximately 61.5% rather than 56.2%; and (iii) correct the threshold of shareholder votes required to approve the Merger set forth in the Company's press release issued on March 8, 2023 (the "Press Release") and incorporated into Item 8.01 by reference. This amendment does not otherwise modify any other portions of the disclosure in the Original 8-K. Interested parties should refer to the Original 8-K, as supplemented by this Amendment No. 1, for Item 1.01, Item 1.02, and Item 8.01 and the prior exhibits filed pursuant to Item 9.01. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Original 8-K.

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

The Press Release inadvertently stated that the threshold of shareholder votes required to approve the Merger is a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. The correct threshold is the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy at the shareholders' meeting, which is further described in Item 1.01 of the Original 8-K, and the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, such as statements regarding the Company's expectations, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including strategies or plans as they relate to the proposed transaction. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "project," "aim," "potential," "continue," "ongoing," "goal," "can," "seek," "target" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including: (i) uncertainties as to the timing of the proposed transaction; (ii) the risk that the Merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the Company's business and the price of the Shares; (iii) the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for the Company will be made; (iv) the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company's shareholders and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including in certain circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transaction on the Company's stock price, business relationships, operating results and business generally; (vii) risks that the proposed transaction may disrupt the Company's current business plans and operations; (viii) the Company's ability to retain and hire key personnel in light of the proposed transaction; (ix) risks related to diverting management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations; (x) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction; (xi) the ability of the buyer to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the commitment letters received in connection with the Merger; (xii) potential litigation relating to the Merger that could be instituted against parties to the Merger Agreement or other transaction agreements or their respective directors, managers or officers, including the effects of any outcomes of such litigation; (xiii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the Merger that may impact the Company's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (xiv) uncertain global economic conditions which have had and could continue to have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations; (xv) the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic may cause disruptions to the Company's operations, customer demand, and its suppliers' ability to support the Company; (xvi) the risks associated with the global nature of the Company's operations; (xvii) fluctuations between non-U.S. currencies and the U.S. dollar; (xviii) political and economic instability and risk of government actions affecting the Company's business and its customers or suppliers; (xix) increases in the pricing of raw materials, availability and allocation by suppliers as well as increases in energy-related costs; (xx) the Company's ability to develop new and innovative products and the acceptance of such products by the Company's customers; (xxi) cyber risks and the failure to maintain the integrity of the Company's operational or security systems or infrastructure; (xxii) the introduction of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting; (xxiii) the consolidation of the Company's customers; (xxiv) competition in the markets for the Company's products and services and in the geographic areas in which it operates; (xxv) instability and uncertainty in the credit and financial markets and the availability of credit that the Company and its customers need to operate the Company's business; (xxvi) new and stricter regulations applicable to our business; (xxvii) continued availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions; and (xxviii) other risks described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>"), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as may be updated or supplemented by any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or other filings with the SEC. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company's control. While the list of risks and uncertainties presented here is, and the discussion of risks and uncertainties to be presented in the proxy statement will be, considered representative, no such list or discussion should be considered a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, and legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the completion of the Merger and/or the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, the Company cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K will prove to be accurate, and you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by the Company, its directors, officers or employees or any other person that the Company will achieve its objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all.

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Payment Fund*. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for payment to the holders of Company Shares pursuant to <u>Section ‎2.7</u>, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which such holders of Company Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) become entitled pursuant to <u>Section ‎2.7</u>. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such cash shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Company, in (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than thirty (30) days; (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, respectively; or (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker's acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) (such cash and any proceeds thereon, the "**Payment Fund**"). To the extent that (A) there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Payment Fund; (B) the Payment Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by <u>Section ‎2.7</u>; or (C) all or any portion of the Payment Fund is unavailable for Parent (or the Payment Agent on behalf of Parent) to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by <u>Section ‎2.7</u> for any reason, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, promptly replace or restore the amount of cash in the Payment Fund so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make the payments contemplated by <u>Section ‎2.7</u>. Any income from investment of the Payment Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Company, as Parent directs. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than the payment to holders of Company Shares as contemplated by <u>Section ‎2.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Payment Procedures*. Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days), Parent and the Surviving Company shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Company Shares) of one or more certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding Company Shares (other than Excluded Company Shares) (the "**Certificates**" (if any)) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of such certificate as provided for in <u>Section ‎2.11</u>)), and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or such affidavit of loss) in exchange for the applicable Per Share Price payable with respect to the Company Shares formerly represented thereby pursuant to <u>Section ‎2.7</u>. Upon surrender of Certificates (or such affidavit of loss) for cancellation to the Payment Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such Certificates by (y) the applicable Per Share Price, and the Certificates so surrendered (or the subject of an affidavit of loss so provided) will forthwith be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no record holder of uncertificated Company Shares (other than Excluded Company Shares) (the "**Uncertificated Shares**") will be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent in order to receive the payment that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to <u>Section ‎2.7</u> with respect of such Uncertificated Shares. In lieu thereof, such record holder, upon receipt of an "agent's message" by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request), will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such holder's transferred Uncertificated Shares by (2) the applicable Per Share Price, and the transferred Uncertificated Shares will be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the applicable Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and transfer of Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this <u>Section ‎2.9(c)</u>. Until so surrendered or transferred, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the applicable Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to <u>Section ‎2.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *DTC Payment*. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Payment Agent and the Depository Trust Company ("**DTC**") with the objective that the Payment Agent shall transmit to DTC or its nominee on the Closing Date an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to the sum of (i) (x) the number of Bain Shares held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time (if any) multiplied by (y) the Bain Per Share Price and (ii) (x) the number of Public Shares held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time (if any) multiplied by (y) the Public Shareholder Per Share Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Transfers of Ownership*. If payment of the Per Share Price is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or transferred Uncertificated Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share surrendered and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Surviving Company that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *No Liability*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Company or any other Party will be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) *Distribution of Payment Fund to Parent*. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent (or the Surviving Company as directed by Parent) upon demand, and any holders of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates representing such Company Shares or Uncertificated Shares for exchange pursuant to this <u>Section ‎2.9</u> shall thereafter look for payment of the applicable Per Share Price payable in respect of the Company Shares represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to <u>Section ‎2.7</u>. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares five (5) years after the Effective Time, or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority, will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders (and their successors, assigns or personal representatives) previously entitled thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 <u>No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares</u>. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all Company Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist; and (b) each holder of a Certificate theretofore representing any Company Shares or Uncertificated Shares will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Price payable therefor in accordance with <u>Section ‎2.7</u>, or in the case of Dissenting Shares, the rights pursuant to <u>Section ‎2.7(d)</u>. The Per Share Price paid in accordance with the terms of this <u>‎Article II</u> will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Company of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of <u>Section ‎2.9(c)</u>) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this <u>‎Article II</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11 <u>Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates</u>. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the applicable Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to <u>Section ‎2.7</u>. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Company or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.12 <u>Required Withholding</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Payment Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct or withhold therefrom pursuant to the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Laws. To the extent that any amounts are deducted or withheld pursuant to this <u>Section ‎2.12</u>, and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made. If Parent or Merger Sub determines that it or any of its Affiliates, permitted successors or assigns is required to deduct or withhold any amount from any payment hereunder (other than any backup withholding under Code Section 3406 (or a similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) or any withholding in respect of compensatory amounts, including with respect to Company equity awards covered by <u>Section 2.8</u>) or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to the Company of the intent to deduct or withhold such amount and the basis for such deduction or withholding as promptly as reasonably practicable, and the Parties shall provide for a reasonable opportunity for forms or other documentation that would mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding to be provided.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.13 <u>Agreement of Fair Value</u>. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company respectively agree that the Public Shareholder Per Share Price and the Bain Per Share Price each represent not less than the fair value of the Company Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the CICA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Parent has delivered to the Company true, complete and correct copies of (i) the Equity Commitment Letter (the financing contemplated thereby, the "**Equity Financing**"), (ii) an executed debt commitment letter from the agents, arrangers, lenders and other entities acting in similar roles identified therein (together with any Persons that become a party thereto after the date hereof in accordance with the terms thereof or which become party to any definitive documentation relating to the Debt Financing, the "**Debt Financing Sources**"), dated as of the date hereof, addressed to Olympus Water US Holding Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "**Borrower**") (as may be amended, restated, supplemented, modified, replaced or substituted not in violation of this Agreement and all exhibits or schedules thereto, "**Debt Commitment Letter**" and the financing contemplated thereby (including any debt securities contemplated to be issued in lieu of any bridge commitments thereunder), the "**Debt Financing**", and the Debt Financing, together with the Equity Financing, the "**Financing**"), pursuant to which the Debt Financing Sources have committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to lend the Borrower the amounts set forth therein for, among other things, the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) the related fee letter(s) referred to in the Debt Commitment Letter (the "**Fee Letter**" and together with the Debt Commitment Letter, with economic terms, "flex" terms, and securities demand provisions, in each case that are customarily redacted and do not in any event affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, redacted, the "**Debt Commitment Letters**" and together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the "**Commitment Letters**"). The Financing, when funded in accordance with the Commitment Letters and after giving effect to any "flex" provision in or related to the Debt Commitment Letters (including with respect to fees and original issue discount) shall provide Parent with cash proceeds on the Closing Date sufficient to pay all amounts required to be paid on the Closing Date by Parent under the Transaction Documents, including any repayment or refinancing of any Company Payoff Indebtedness, and all related fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder (the "**Required Amount**"). As of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn, terminated, rescinded or otherwise amended or modified in any respect and the commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn, terminated, rescinded, amended, reduced or modified in any respect (and, to the Knowledge of Parent, no such withdrawal, termination, rescission, amendment, reduction or modification is contemplated as of the date hereof, except with respect to any "flex" terms contained in the Fee Letter as of the date hereof and potential amendments solely to add Debt Financing Sources to the Debt Commitment Letters and to amend titles, allocations and fee sharing arrangements in connection therewith) and will not be amended, modified or altered at any time through the Closing except in a manner not in violation of <u>Section 6.5(c)</u>. Each of the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and Parent, respectively, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, except as such enforceability (A) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting or relating to creditors' rights generally; and (B) is subject to general principles of equity. There are no contracts, side letters, agreements or other arrangements of any kind relating to the Debt Financing that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect (x) the conditions to the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing or (y) the availability, enforceability or amount of the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of, with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter, the Borrower, and with respect to the Equity Commitment Letter, Parent, or, to the Knowledge of Parent, on the part of the other parties thereto, under any term or condition of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter. There are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters and Equity Commitment Letter, or any contingencies that would permit the Debt Financing Sources or the parties to the Equity Commitment Letter to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Financing, including any condition or other contingency relating to the amount or availability of the Financing pursuant to any "flex" provision. Parent has fully paid, or has caused to be fully paid, any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Debt Commitment Letters and the Equity Commitment Letter to be paid by it or the Borrower on or prior to the date of this Agreement. As of the date hereof, Parent and the Borrower have no reason to believe that any of the conditions to funding contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and Equity Commitment Letter would not be expected to be satisfied in full as required therein or that the full amount of the Debt Financing would not be expected to be available to Parent at Closing. The Equity Commitment Letter provides that the Company is an express third-party beneficiary of, and entitled to enforce, the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Parent understands and acknowledges that under the terms of this Agreement, Parent's obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to Parent's or the Borrower's consummation of any financing arrangements, Parent or the Borrower obtaining of any financing, or the availability, grant, provision or extension of any financing to Parent or the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) As of the date hereof, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any contracts, side letters, agreements or other arrangements prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank or other potential provider of debt financing from providing or seeking to provide debt financing to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger.

No transfer of property is being made, and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Parent or any of its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.12 <u>No Parent Vote or Approval Required</u>. No vote or consent of the holders of any share capital of, or other equity or voting interest in, Parent is necessary to approve or authorize this Agreement, the Plan of Merger or the Merger. The vote or consent of Parent, as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, is the only vote or consent of the share capital of, or other equity interest in, Merger Sub necessary under applicable Law or its Organizational Documents to approve or authorize this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Merger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.13 <u>Exclusivity of Representations and Warranties</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) no Person has been authorized by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Affiliates or Representatives to make any representation or warranty relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates or any of their businesses or operations or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the Merger, and if made, such representation or warranty must not be relied upon by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives as having been authorized by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Affiliates or Representatives (or any other Person); and

Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Company Shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC and confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement.

The effectiveness of any Definitive Agreements for the Debt Financing executed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the consummation of the Merger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company hereby consents to the reasonable and customary use of its logos in connection with the Debt Financing; <u>provided</u> that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their reputation or goodwill.

In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Financing) by Parent any of its Affiliates or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Parent's obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company's breach of any of the covenants required to be performed by it under this <u>Section 6.6</u> shall not be considered in determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in <u>Section 7.2(b)</u>, unless such breach is the primary cause of Parent being unable to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing at the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.7 <u>Anti-Takeover Laws</u>. The Company and the Company Board shall (a) take all actions within their power to ensure that no "anti-takeover" statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Merger or the Voting Agreement; and (b) if any "anti-takeover" statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to the Merger or the Voting Agreement, take all action within their power to ensure that the Merger may be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger.

Upon the written request of the Company, all Recipient personnel given access to the Computer Systems shall execute a customary and reasonable confidentiality and data access agreement; provided, however, that comparable confidentiality obligations in agreements binding on Recipient's employees and contractors shall be considered to be sufficient. The Company shall have the right to deny any personnel of Recipient access to the Computer Systems upon written notice to Recipient in the event that such personnel have violated and failed to cure such violation of their obligations hereunder. Recipient shall cooperate with the Company in investigating any alleged unauthorized access by Recipient of the Computer Systems.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Indemnified Persons*. The Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill the obligations of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of their respective current or former directors, officers or employees (and any person who becomes a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time), on the other hand (collectively, the "**Indemnified Persons**"). In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, as of the date of this Agreement. During such six-year period, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Indemnification Obligation*. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of <u>Section ‎6.10(a)</u>, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law or pursuant to any indemnification agreements listed on <u>Section ‎6.10(a)</u> of the Company Disclosure Letter with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement, each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees and investigation expenses), judgments, penalties, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that such Legal Proceeding arises, directly or indirectly, out of or pertains, directly or indirectly, to (i) the fact that an Indemnified Person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate; (ii) any action or omission, or alleged action or omission, in such Indemnified Person's capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time; and (iii) the Merger, as well as any actions taken by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub with respect thereto, except that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this <u>Section ‎6.10(b)</u>, then the claim asserted in such notice will survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such Legal Proceeding, Parent or the Surviving Company shall advance all fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of any counsel) as incurred by an Indemnified Person in the defense of such Legal Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking from such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek the termination of, any Legal Proceeding for which indemnification is reasonably likely to be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Legal Proceeding. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of any Indemnified Person complies or complied with any applicable standard will be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Surviving Company (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person), the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Surviving Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *D&O Insurance*. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) maintain in effect the Company's current directors' and officers' liability insurance ("**D&O Insurance**") in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time on terms (including with respect to coverage, conditions, retentions, limits and amounts) that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, that Parent may (i) substitute therefor policies of an insurance company the terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to such directors and officers than the Company's existing policies as of the date hereof or (ii) request that the Company obtain such extended reporting period coverage under its existing insurance programs (to be effective as of the Effective Time). In satisfying its obligations pursuant to this <u>Section ‎6.10(c)</u>, the Surviving Company will not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such amount, the "**Maximum Annual Premium**"). If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, then the Surviving Company shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company's current directors' and officers' liability insurance carrier. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase a prepaid "tail" policy with respect to the D&O Insurance from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company's current directors' and officers' liability insurance carrier so long as the aggregate cost for such "tail" policy does not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. If the Company elects to purchase such a "tail" policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) maintain such "tail" policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder for so long as such "tail" policy is in full force and effect in lieu of maintaining the D&O Insurance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *No Impairment*. The obligations set forth in this <u>Section ‎6.10</u> may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other Person who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in <u>Section ‎6.10(c)</u> (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other Person. Each of the Indemnified Persons or other Persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in <u>Section ‎6.10(c)</u> (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this <u>Section ‎6.10</u>, with full rights of enforcement as if a Party. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other Persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in <u>Section ‎6.10(c)</u> (and their heirs and representatives)) pursuant to this <u>Section ‎6.10</u> will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such Persons may have pursuant to (i) the Company's Organizational Documents; (ii) the Organizational Documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) applicable Law (whether at Law or in equity).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Other Claims*. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors' and officers' insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this <u>Section ‎6.10</u> is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.11 <u>Employee Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *New Plans*. Following a good faith review of the Employee Plans in which Continuing Employees participate immediately before the Effective Time ("**Old Plans**"), Parent shall determine in its sole discretion whether to maintain any such plans following the Effective Time. In the event an Old Plan is terminated or otherwise discontinued following such determination by Parent, Continuing Employees who previously participated in such a plan shall be eligible to participate in any comparable benefit plans maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Company ("**New Plans**"). With respect to any New Plans in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate, but other than with respect to benefit accruals and level of benefits under any defined benefit pension plan, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time to the same extent that such service was recognized under a similar plan, program, policy or arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time, except that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits or in benefits that are greater than what was previously provided under a comparable Old Plan. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) for purposes of each New Plan in which a Continuing Employee is eligible to participate that provides life insurance, medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision or disability benefits, the Surviving Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the same extents such requirements were waived or satisfied under the comparable Old Plan, and (ii) the Surviving Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date that such Continuing Employee's participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit pursuant to such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *No Third Party Beneficiary Rights*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this <u>Section ‎6.11</u> will not be deemed to (i) guarantee employment or engagement for services for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate any Continuing Employee or other individual service provider of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason; (ii) require Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Employee Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time; or (iii) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any Person.

Parent shall (i) provide the Company with any documentation related to any Redemption, including Redemption Notices, a reasonable period of time in advance of any such Redemption to give the Company and its Representatives a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documentation and (ii) consult with the Company regarding the timing and delivery of any Redemption Notices or Redemption in light of the regular financial reporting schedule of the Company and any requirements of Law. The Redemption Notices delivered to the trustee and the holders of the Senior Notes may state that the redemption date may be delayed until such time as the condition precedent to redemption stated therein shall be satisfied or such Redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event such condition shall not have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) any Redemption effectuated pursuant to this <u>Section 6.16</u> shall be funded using consideration provided by Parent or its Subsidiaries and Parent's fees and out-of-pocket expenses will not be paid by the Company or its Subsidiaries and (2) nothing in this <u>Section ‎6.16</u> shall require the Company or the Issuer to (x) pay or deposit any amounts required to redeem or discharge the Senior Notes except to the extent such amounts have been previously provided, or are being concurrently provided, to the Company or the Issuer by Parent or its Subsidiaries for such purpose or (y) issue any Redemption Notices prior to the Closing, except for such notice that is permitted to be conditioned (and is so conditioned) on the occurrence of the Closing.

Any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations shall be made on customary terms and conditions (including price to be paid and conditionality) as are reasonably proposed by Parent, are reasonably acceptable to the Special Committee and are permitted or required by the terms of such Senior Notes, the Senior Notes Indenture and applicable Laws, including SEC rules and regulations. Subject to the receipt of the requisite consents, in connection with any or all of the Consent Solicitations, the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture to the Senior Notes Indenture in accordance with the terms thereof amending the terms and provisions of such Senior Notes Indenture in a form as reasonably requested by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Special Committee and the trustee under such supplemented indenture, which any such supplemental indenture shall not become effective until the Effective Time. The Company shall at the same time execute any customary ancillary documents required by the Senior Notes Indenture for entry by the trustee into the supplemental indenture, including customary officer's certificates, legal opinions of Company counsel and other documentation reasonably requested by the trustee in connection therewith.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the inability to make or complete any such Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations shall not delay the Closing or relieve Parent or Merger Sub from their obligations to consummate the Merger as required under this Agreement. Parent shall (i) prepare and provide the Company with any documentation related to any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations a reasonable period of time in advance of Parent's commencement of any such Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations to give the Company and its Representatives a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documentation and (ii) consult with the Company regarding the timing and commencement of any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations in light of the regular financial reporting schedule of the Company and any requirements of Law. To the extent that the provisions of the Senior Notes, the Senior Notes Indenture governing the terms of the Senior Notes or applicable Law conflict with this <u>Section 6.16</u>, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall comply with such Senior Notes, such Senior Notes Indenture and such applicable Law and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Agreement as a result of such compliance. At Parent's expense, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary or reasonably required in connection with a Company Note Offer and Consent Solicitation, including, without limitation, (i) to the extent required by the policies or procedures of the Depository Trust Company in connection with any Company Note Offer and Consent Solicitation, (ii) using reasonable best efforts to cause the trustee under each such Indenture to enter such supplemental indenture prior or substantially simultaneously with execution thereof by the Company, and (iii) providing the information necessary to distribute the applicable Company Note Offer and Consent Solicitation documents to the holders of the Senior Notes. The consummation of any or all of the Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations shall not be a condition to Closing.

Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries (and their respective Representatives) from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims, judgments, fines, claims, losses, penalties, damages, interest, awards and liabilities directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the foregoing and any information used in connection therewith except any losses arising out of a result of the Company's or its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives' willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, in its capacity as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, shall execute and deliver to Merger Sub and the Company a special resolution of Merger Sub authorizing the Plan of Merger in accordance with the CICA and the articles of association of Merger Sub.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.18 <u>Additional Agreements</u>. If at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Company with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either of the Company or Merger Sub, then the proper officers and directors of each Party shall use their reasonable best efforts to take such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event of an initiation of legal proceedings pursuant to article 26 of the Dutch Works Councils Act that results in the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals (*Ondernemingskamer van het gerechtshof Amsterdam*) issuing a final (non-appealable) order deciding in favor of the Dutch Works Council, the Company shall re-open the consultation with the Dutch Works Council and the Dutch Works Council Consultation Procedure shall be deemed completed if and once the procedure set forth in <u>Section 6.19(a)</u> or <u>6.19(b)</u> has subsequently been satisfied. The Parties shall discuss in good faith (without any binding obligation to agree any changes) whether and to what extent the Agreement should be altered to accommodate the outcome of this second round of consultation and the judgement of the Enterprise Chamber. In such case, the Dutch Works Council Consultation Procedure shall be completed if the Parties agree to alter this Agreement in such a manner that the final terms of the Agreement shall be in accordance with the Dutch Works Councils' advice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in <u>Section ‎8.3(f)</u>, it is agreed that Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided in <u>Section ‎9.8(b)</u> (but not, following the valid termination of this Agreement, with respect to sections of this Agreement that do not survive such termination); provided, that the Company shall not be entitled under any circumstances to both (i) payment of the Parent Termination Fee (or monetary damages for failure to close) and (ii) specific performance of Parent's obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to effect the Closing in accordance with <u>‎Article II</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 <u>Amendment</u>. Subject to applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (pursuant to authorized action by the Special Committee), except that in the event that the Company has received the Requisite Shareholder Approval, no amendment may be made to this Agreement that requires the authorization of the Company Shareholders pursuant to the CICA or the Company Organizational Documents without such authorization. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions relating to the Debt Financing Sources or Debt Financing Source Parties set forth in <u>Section ‎8.3(f)</u>, <u>Section ‎9.3</u>, <u>Section ‎9.6</u>, <u>Section ‎9.8</u>, <u>Section 9.9</u>, <u>Section ‎9.10(b)</u>, <u>Section ‎9.11</u>, <u>Section ‎9.12</u> and this <u>Section ‎8.4</u> (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification or alteration of such provision would modify the substance of such Sections) may not be amended, modified or altered in a manner adverse to the Debt Financing Sources or Debt Financing Source Parties without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 <u>Extension; Waiver</u>.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party; <u>provided</u> that any such waiver given by the Company shall be at the direction of and approved by the Special Committee. Any delay in exercising any right pursuant to this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right.

Any notice received by e-mail or otherwise at the addressee's location on any Business Day after 5:00 p.m., addressee's local time, or on any day that is not a Business Day will be deemed to have been received at 9:00 a.m., addressee's local time, on the next Business Day. From time to time, any Party may provide notice to the other Parties of a change in its address or e-mail address through a notice given in accordance with this <u>Section *‎*9.2</u>, except that that notice of any change to the address or any of the other details specified in or pursuant to this <u>Section *‎*9.2</u> will not be deemed to have been received until, and will be deemed to have been received upon, the later of the date (A) specified in such notice; or (B) that is two (2) Business Days after such notice would otherwise be deemed to have been received pursuant to this <u>Section *‎*9.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 <u>Assignment</u>. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written approval of the other Parties (which consent by the Company shall require the prior written approval of the Special Committee), except that Parent will have the right to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement from and after the Effective Time (a) in connection with a merger or consolidation involving Parent or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or the Surviving Company; or (b) to any Debt Financing Source (or any agent or collateral trustee for such Debt Financing Source) pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of the Debt Financing, it being understood that, in each case, such assignment will not (i) affect the obligations of the parties (including Debt Financing Sources) to the Commitment Letters or Guarantors pursuant to the Guarantee; or (ii) impede or delay the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment by any Party will relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment of this Agreement without the consent required by this <u>Section ‎9.3</u> is null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 <u>Confidentiality Agreement</u>. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby acknowledge that the Company, Bain Capital Private Equity, L.P., Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC and Solenis LLC have previously executed a confidentiality letter agreement, dated August 12, 2022 (the "**Confidentiality Agreement**"), that shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall hold and treat all documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives in connection with the Merger in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. By executing this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub agree to be bound by and comply with, and to cause their Representatives to be bound by and comply with, the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement as if they were parties thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, the Guarantee and the Commitment Letters, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement will (a) not be superseded; (b) survive any termination of this Agreement; and (c) continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time and the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6 <u>Third Party Beneficiaries</u>. Except as set forth in <u>Section ‎6.10</u> and this <u>Section ‎9.6</u>, the Parties agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other Parties in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to, and will not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by <u>Section ‎6.10</u>; (b) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of the holders of Company Shares and Company Equity Awards to receive the merger consideration set forth in <u>‎Article II</u>; and (c) the Special Committee is an intended third-party beneficiary of, and may enforce all rights of the Company (and cause the Company to fulfill its obligations) under this Agreement. The provisions of <u>Section ‎8.3(f)</u>, <u>Section ‎8.4</u>, <u>Section ‎9.3</u>, <u>Section ‎9.8</u>, <u>Section ‎9.9</u>, <u>Section ‎9.10(b)</u>, <u>Section ‎9.11</u>, <u>Section ‎9.12</u> and this <u>Section ‎9.6</u> shall inure to the benefit of the Debt Financing Sources and the Debt Financing Source Parties, each of whom are intended to be third party beneficiaries thereof (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections will be enforceable by the Debt Financing Sources and the Debt Financing Source Parties).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7 <u>Severability</u>. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.8 <u>Remedies.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Remedies Cumulative*. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Although the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages (including the payment of the Parent Termination Fee), under no circumstances will the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the occurrence of the Closing and monetary damages (including any monetary damages in lieu of specific performance and all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Specific Performance*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; and (B) the rights and limitations of specific enforcement under this <u>Section *‎*9.8(b)</u> are an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Notwithstanding <u>Section *‎*9.8(b)(i)</u>, it is acknowledged and agreed that the right of the Company to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy in connection with enforcing Parent's obligation or the Company's ability, as a third party beneficiary, to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Merger will be subject to the requirements that (A) all of the conditions set forth in <u>Section *‎*7.1</u> and <u>Section *‎*7.2</u> have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing) at the time Closing is required to be consummated pursuant to <u>Section *‎*2.3</u>; (B) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing; (C) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing in accordance with <u>Section *‎*2.3</u>; and (D) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice (which notice shall require the prior written approval of the Special Committee) to Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then it would take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. In no event will the Company be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent's obligation or the Company's ability, as a third party beneficiary, to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to complete the Merger if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Parties agree not to raise any objections to the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided herein to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements in this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) No Debt Financing Source Party shall have any liability or obligation to the Company and its Affiliates and any of the Company's or any of such Affiliates' respective current, former or future officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, stockholders, limited partners, managers, members or partners with respect to any claim or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity or otherwise) relating to: (a) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, (b) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (c) any breach or violation of this Agreement and (d) any failure of the transactions contemplated hereunder to be consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, this <u>Section *‎*9.8(b)(iv)</u> does not limit or affect any rights or remedies that Parent may have against the Debt Financing Source Parties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.9 <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement and all actions, proceedings or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Laws (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Cayman Islands: the Merger, the vesting of the rights, property, choses in action, business, undertaking, goodwill, benefits, immunities and privileges, contracts, obligations, claims, debts and liabilities of Merger Sub in the Company, the cancellation of the Company Shares, the rights provided in Section 238 of the CICA, the fiduciary or other duties of the Company Board and the boards of directors of the General Partner (as general partner of Parent) and Merger Sub and the internal corporate affairs of the Company and Merger Sub. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that, except as specifically set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, all actions, proceedings or counterclaims (whether in law or in equity, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) against any of the Debt Financing Source Parties in any way relating to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance hereof or thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.10 <u>Consent to Jurisdiction</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *General Jurisdiction*. Each of the Parties (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts) in any Legal Proceeding relating to the Merger and the Guarantee, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with <u>Section ‎9.2</u> or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in this <u>Section ‎9.10</u> will affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Legal Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the "**Chosen Courts**") in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it shall not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Jurisdiction for Debt Financing Source*s. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and irrevocably agree (i) that any Legal Proceeding, whether in Law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Source Parties arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the Merger, the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York in the borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof, and each Party submits for itself and its property with respect to any such Legal Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court; (ii) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Legal Proceeding in any other court; (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in any applicable Debt Commitment Letter will be effective service of process against them for any such Legal Proceeding brought in any such court; (iv) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such Legal Proceeding in any such court; and (v) any such Legal Proceeding will be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.11 <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF THE DEBT FINANCING) IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER, THE GUARANTEE, THE COMMITMENT LETTERS OR THE FINANCING (INCLUDING ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING FINANCING SOURCES OR ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE PARTY). EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (iii) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION ‎9.11</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.12 <u>No Recourse</u>. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and no Company Related Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Bain and its directors, officers, managers and direct or indirect partners (whether general or limited) and equityholders) (other than the parties to any Transaction Documents with respect to the obligations set forth therein) and no Parent Related Parties (other than Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Guarantee or Equity Commitment Letter) or any Debt Financing Source Party shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. In no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates or other Company Related Parties, and the Company agrees not to and to cause its controlled Affiliates, directors and officers and to direct its other Company Related Parties not to, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Parent Related Party or Debt Financing Source Party not a party to this Agreement (other than to the extent expressly permitted by, and subject to the limitations of, the Guarantee and the Equity Commitment Letter). In no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates or other Parent Related Parties (including Guarantors), and Parent agrees not to and to cause its controlled Affiliates, directors and officers and to direct its other Parent Related Parties not to, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Company Related Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Bain and its directors, officers, managers and direct or indirect partners (whether general or limited) and equityholders) not a party to this Agreement (other than to the extent expressly permitted by, and subject to the limitations of, the Transaction Documents).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.13 <u>Company Disclosure Letter References</u>. The Parties agree that the disclosure set forth in any particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are set forth in the corresponding Section or subsection of this Agreement; and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are set forth in this Agreement, but in the case of this clause (b) only if the relevance of that disclosure as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) is reasonably apparent on its face by such disclosure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.14 <u>Special Committee Approval</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, until the Effective Time, (i) the Company may take the following actions only with the prior approval of, and shall take any such action if directed to do so by, the Special Committee: (a) amending, restating, modifying or otherwise changing any provision of this Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Guarantee; (b) waiving any right under this Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Guarantee or extending the time for the performance of any obligation of Merger Sub hereunder or any other party under the Voting Agreement or the Guarantee; (c) terminating this Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Guarantee; (d) taking any action under this Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Guarantee that expressly requires the approval of the Special Committee; (e) making any decision or determination, or taking any action under or with respect to this Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Guarantee that would reasonably be expected to be, or is required to be, approved, authorized, ratified or adopted by the Company Board; and (f) agreeing to do any of the foregoing and (ii) no decision or determination shall be made, or action taken, by the Company Board under or with respect to this Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Guarantee without first obtaining the approval of the Special Committee. In the event the Special Committee ceases to exist, any consents, determinations, actions or other rights or obligations afforded to the Special Committee shall be afforded to a majority of the remaining independent and disinterested members of the Company Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.15 <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an "**Electronic Delivery**"), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

{*Signature page follows.*}

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered as of the date first written above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Representations and Warranties of Investor</u>. Investor hereby represents and warrants to Topco, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Contribution Closing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Organization</u>.

The Subscribed Topco Units are being acquired solely for Investor's own account and for investment only. Investor is not acquiring the Subscribed Topco Units with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof and Investor does not have any plans to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for any such purpose. Investor understands and agrees that Topco shall not have any obligation to recognize the ownership, beneficial or otherwise, of the Subscribed Topco Units by any Person other than Investor, except as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and that no Subscribed Topco Units shall be transferable except upon the conditions set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Investigation; Advice</u>. Investor acknowledges that it has been provided with such information as it deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of investing in the Subscribed Topco Units (including, without limitation, financial and other information regarding Topco and its Subsidiaries) and has been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions as it deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of Topco concerning the merits and risks of investing in the Subscribed Topco Units, and in making the decision to invest in Topco, Investor has relied solely upon independent investigations made by Investor and the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and herein. Investor is not relying, and has not relied, on any Topco Information or any other information, representations or warranties concerning Topco or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their businesses, operations or otherwise) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Investor Topco Contribution) other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in <u>Section 9</u> of this Agreement. No representations or warranties, oral or otherwise, have been made to Investor or any party acting on Investor's behalf that are inconsistent with the written materials which have been supplied to Investor by Topco. Investor has consulted, to the extent deemed appropriate by Investor, with Investor's own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning an investment in the issued Subscribed Topco Units and on that basis understands the financial, tax, legal and related consequences of an investment in the issued Subscribed Topco Units.

Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Contribution Closing: (i) the Subscribed Topco Units are uncertificated and Investor is not entitled to any certificate representing the Subscribed Topco Units issued upon the consummation of the Exchange, unless and to the extent Topco shall otherwise determine, and (ii) if at any time the "Topco GP" shall determine that the Subscribed Topco Units should be certificated, such certificates will contain such legends as contemplated by the Partnership Agreement.

Investor is treated as a partnership for United States federal and applicable state income tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Organization</u>. Topco is an exempted limited partnership, duly registered and validly existing under the Laws of the Cayman Island, and has all requisite business entity power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and to own, lease or operate its properties. Topco is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property and assets owned, leased or operated by it, or the nature of the business conducted by it, make such qualification necessary (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing), except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had since the Prior Acquisition Date (as defined below), and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Topco Material Adverse Effect.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Topco, and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of Topco (assuming that this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by Investor), enforceable against Topco in accordance with its terms, except (i) to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, receivership, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) that the availability of equitable remedies, including specific performance, is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding thereof may be brought.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>No Conflicts</u>. None of the execution, delivery or performance by Topco of this Agreement, nor the consummation by Topco of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by Topco with any of the provisions herein will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the governing documents of Topco, (ii) require any consent of or other action by any Person, (iii) violate any Law or permit applicable to Topco or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in the creation of any Lien on Topco's assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Governmental Authorization; Litigation</u>. No Governmental Authorization is required on the part of Topco (i) in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Topco; or (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except (A) the filing of the Plan of Merger and related documentation with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands pursuant to the CICA; (B) such filings and approvals as may be required by any federal or state securities Laws, including compliance with any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act; (C) compliance with any applicable requirements of the HSR Act and any other applicable Antitrust Laws and Foreign Investment Laws; (D) such other Governmental Authorizations the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Topco Material Adverse Effect or prevent, hinder, modify, delay or challenge the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (E) as set forth on <u>Schedule 9(d)</u> of the Topco Disclosure Schedules. There are no Legal Proceedings (and for the avoidance of doubt, other than any Transaction Litigation brought after the date of this Agreement), pending or, to Topco's knowledge, threatened in writing, against Topco at law or in equity before any Governmental Authority which would reasonably be expected to prevent, hinder, modify, delay or challenge the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Capitalization</u>. <u>Schedule 9(f)(i)</u> of the Topco Disclosure Schedules sets forth, as of the date hereof, the number of issued and outstanding equity securities of Topco. All such securities are owned by Platinum and current and former employees of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries. The number of and type of securities owned by each of (i) Platinum, (ii) current employees and (iii) former employees, in each case, in the aggregate, is set forth on <u>Schedule 9(f)(i)</u> of the Topco Disclosure Schedules.

To the extent the amount of the Co-Investment as of the Closing, as determined by Topco (acting reasonably), is reasonably expected to be less than $450,000,000 (the "<u>Funding Target</u>"), then Topco, at its election, and in its sole discretion, shall have the right (the "<u>Preferred Increase Option</u>"), upon written notice (the "<u>Preferred Option Notice</u>") to Investor at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to increase the number of Company Shares that must be contributed by Investor in the Preferred Exchange, subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) For the avoidance of doubt, if Topco exercises the Preferred Increase Option, then all references in this Agreement (unless the context otherwise requires) to the "Company Preferred Rollover Shares," "Company Rollover Shares," "Subscribed Topco Preferred Units," and "Subscribed Topco Units" shall be deemed to reflect the number of Company Preferred Rollover Shares and Subscribed Topco Preferred Units contemplated by <u>Section 11(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in exchange for the contribution of the Company Rollover Shares, Investor is entitled to receive the Subscribed Topco Units, subject to the terms and conditions described herein. The issuance of the Subscribed Topco Units to Investor in accordance with this Agreement will completely discharge any obligations of Topco and its Affiliates to pay the Merger Consideration otherwise owed with respect to the Company Rollover Shares, other than obligations under the Partnership Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Investor hereby covenants that, from time to time after the delivery of this Agreement, upon reasonable request from Topco, Investor will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered such further acts, conveyances, transfers, assignments, powers of attorney and assurances reasonably necessary to effect Topco's receipt of Company Rollover Shares in accordance with <u>Section 1</u> hereof. Topco hereby covenants that, from time to time after the delivery of this Agreement, upon reasonable request from Investor, Topco will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered such further acts, conveyances, transfers, assignments, powers of attorney and assurances reasonably necessary to convey, transfer to and vest in Investor, and to put Investor in possession of, any of Subscribed Topco Units in accordance with <u>Section 1</u> hereof.

At the joint election of Topco and Investor, the Preferred Exchange may be structured as a direct contribution of Company Preferred Rollover Shares to a Subsidiary of Topco (including a Subsidiary that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) (any such subsidiary, "<u>Issuing Entity</u>") in exchange for equity interests in such Subsidiary and Topco may assign its obligation to issue the Subscribed Topco Preferred Units to such Issuing Entity. In such case, for purposes of <u>Section 18</u> hereof, the terms "Preferred Exchange" shall refer to such exchange with an Issuing Entity. In the event that an Issuing Entity is used pursuant to the preceding sentences of this Agreement as a result of the joint election by Topco and the Investor and such assignment is made, (i) if the Issuing Entity is (or will elect to be) classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Company Preferred Rollover Shares are exchanged for stock of such Issuing Entity, (A) provisions contained in the Preferred Equity Term Sheet under the caption "Tax Matters" shall not be applicable and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to include tax covenants applicable to an investment in preferred stock in a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine the tax treatment of the Preferred Units (including treatment under sections 305 and 351(g) of the Code), and (B) the Preferred Exchange shall be structured as a transaction intended to qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code and (ii) Topco and Investor shall promptly amend and restate this Agreement (including the Schedules and Preferred Equity Term Sheet, if applicable) to reflect such assignment, including if applicable, (A) the changes to the Preferred Equity Term Sheet described in clause (i) above, (B) the designation of the assignee as the Issuing Entity, and (C) any other changes, including changes in the type of security to be issued (including any applicable terms) and document governing such security as may be appropriate or necessary based on the type of entity that the assignee is; provided, that in the case of this clause (C) (but subject to clause (A)), for the avoidance of doubt, other than to reflect the change in issuer type or as a result of such change (including as a result of the issuer being classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the economics, rights and obligations set forth in the Preferred Equity Term Sheet shall not be changed without the prior written approval of Investor (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Investor and Topco agree to cooperate to effect any amendment and restatement of this Agreement (and the Schedules and Preferred Equity Term Sheet, as applicable) to give effect to any assignment effected by Topco pursuant to this <u>Section 17</u>, if the joint election is made. If, at the sole election of Issuer, a new entity treated as a corporation ("<u>New Corp</u>") for U.S. federal income taxes is interposed between Topco, on the one hand, and Olympus Water Holdings IV, L.P., on the other hand, then the contribution of any direct or indirect subsidiaries of Topco (including Olympus Water UK Holding Ltd. and Olympus Water US Holding Corp.) to New Corp shall be structured to be treated as an exchange that is intended to be governed by Section 351(a) of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the determination as to whether to interpose such New Corp shall be made by Topco in its sole and absolute discretion.

Except as expressly set forth in <u>clauses (a)</u> and <u>(b)</u> of this <u>Section 1</u>, the Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Covered Shares in its sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in this <u>Section 1</u> that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company Shareholders, and the Stockholder shall not be restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any other matter presented to the Company Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Stockholder to vote in favor of, or otherwise act by written consent with respect to, any amendment to the Merger Agreement that decreases the amount or changes the form of the merger consideration payable to the Company Shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>No Inconsistent Agreements</u>. The Stockholder hereby represents, covenants and agrees that, except as contemplated by this Agreement, and for the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2021, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto (the "<u>Investor Rights Agreement</u>"), the Stockholder (a) has not entered into, and shall not enter into at any time prior to the Termination Date, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any Covered Shares and (b) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time prior to the Termination Date, a proxy or power of attorney with respect to any Covered Shares, in either case, which is inconsistent with the Stockholder's obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Stockholder and the Company hereby agree to terminate the Investor Rights Agreement effective immediately prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Rollover Agreement without any continuing liability on behalf of any party thereto, and, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the Stockholder and the Company hereby waive the application of Section 3.4.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement to the transactions contemplated by the Rollover Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Termination</u>. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without further action by any of the parties hereto and shall have no further force or effect as of the earlier of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (c) the election of the Stockholder in its sole discretion to terminate this Agreement promptly following any amendment of any term or provision of the original unamended Merger Agreement dated as of the date hereof that reduces or changes the form of consideration payable to the Stockholder relative to the other stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Merger (such earlier date being referred to herein as the "<u>Termination Date</u>"); <u>provided</u>, that the provisions set forth in <u>Sections 9</u> and <u>12</u> – <u>27</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any party hereto from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against any other party for that party's breach of any of the terms of this Agreement prior to the date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Representations and Warranties of The Stockholder</u>. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Stockholder is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder, the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Stockholder and no other actions or proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement, the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except for the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act (i) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority is necessary on the part of the Stockholder for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder or the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder nor the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by the Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) conflict with or violate, any provision of the Organizational Documents of the Stockholder, (B) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on such property or asset of the Stockholder pursuant to, any Contract to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or any property or asset of the Stockholder is bound or affected or (C) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder's properties or assets, except, in the case of <u>clause (B)</u> or <u>(C)</u>, for breaches, violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) As of the date hereof, there is no Legal Proceeding pending against the Stockholder or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against the Stockholder that restricts or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the exercise by Parent of its rights under this Agreement or the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Except as provided in the Merger Agreement or the Company Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission for which the Company or its Subsidiaries would be liable or responsible following the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Company, Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder's execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations and warranties of the Stockholder contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Prior to the Termination Date, the Stockholder shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Representatives (<u>provided</u> that the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives shall not be considered a Representative of the Stockholder for purposes of this <u>Section 5</u>), directly or indirectly, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) solicit, initiate, endorse, encourage or facilitate the making by any Person (other than the other parties to the Merger Agreement) of any Acquisition Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information or data with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Acquisition Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) execute or enter into any Contract constituting or relating to any Acquisition Proposal, or approve or recommend or propose to approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or any Contract constituting or relating to any Acquisition Proposal (or authorize or resolve to agree to do any of the foregoing actions); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Stockholder will immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any of the matters described in <u>Section 5**(**a)</u> above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Prior to the Termination Date, and except as contemplated hereby or by the Rollover Agreement, the Stockholder shall not (i) tender into any tender or exchange offer, (ii) sell (constructively or otherwise), transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (collectively "<u>Transfer</u>"), or enter into any contract, option, agreement or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the Transfer of any of the Covered Shares or beneficial ownership or voting power thereof or therein (including by operation of law), (iii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any Covered Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Covered Shares or (iv) knowingly take any action that would reasonably be expected to make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of materially preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Any Transfer in violation of this provision shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this <u>Section 5</u> shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Covered Shares (including any new Covered Shares as described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) by the Stockholder (x) to any beneficial owner, shareholder, member or partner of the Stockholder or (y) to any Affiliate of the Stockholder, so long as, in the case of the foregoing clauses, the assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and executes and delivers to the parties hereto a written consent and joinder reasonably acceptable to Parent memorializing such agreement; <u>provided</u> that any transfer of Rollover Shares shall require the prior written consent of Parent. Any permitted Transferee of any Covered Shares pursuant to this <u>Section 5(c)</u> shall be referred to as a "<u>Permitted Transferee</u>".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Prior to the Termination Date, in the event that the Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Company Shares or other voting securities with respect to the Company, such Company Shares or voting securities shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed Covered Shares and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and the number of Company Shares held by the Stockholder set forth on <u>Schedule A</u> hereto will be deemed amended accordingly and such Company Shares or voting securities shall automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Stockholder shall promptly notify Parent and the Company of any such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Stockholder and its Representatives shall be entitled to participate in discussions or negotiations with any Person making an Acquisition Proposal with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, including entering into a voting agreement (to the extent permitted in clause (ii) below) in support thereof, but only in the event that the Company and its Representatives are permitted to engage in discussions or negotiations in response to such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the Stockholder shall be entitled to enter into any such voting agreement with any Person making a Superior Proposal simultaneously with the execution and delivery of a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement by the Company entered into as and to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement (including Section 8.1(h) thereof). Nothing in this <u>Section 5</u> shall prohibit the Stockholder or any of its Representatives from informing any Person of the existence of the provisions of this <u>Section 5</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Cooperation</u>. (a) The Company, Parent and the Stockholder shall cooperate to, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, file with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ all necessary filings required by the HSR Act in connection with this Agreement and the Merger, which shall request early termination of the HSR Act waiting period (if available) and (b) the Company and the Stockholder shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, supply to Parent any information that may be reasonably required (x) to prepare such filings required by the HSR Act and such filings, forms and submissions with each Governmental Authority as set forth on Section 7.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter or (y) to respond to information requests by the FTC, the DOJ or the Governmental Authorities of any other applicable jurisdiction in which any such filing is made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Proxy Statement; Schedule 13e-3</u>. The Company, Parent and the Stockholder shall cooperate to, concurrently with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement, jointly prepare and file with the SEC a Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13e-3 (such transaction statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the "<u>Schedule 13e-3</u>") relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder will provide information reasonably requested by the Company or Parent in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13e-3. To the knowledge of the Stockholder, the information supplied by the Stockholder for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13e-3 or any Other Required Company Filings will not, at the time that such information is provided, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Further Assurances</u>. From time to time, at the request of Parent and without further consideration, the Stockholder shall take such further action as may reasonably be necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties</u>. The representations and warranties of the Stockholder contained herein shall not survive the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Amendment and Modification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Waiver</u>. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by such party; <u>provided</u> that any such waiver given by the Company shall be at the direction of and approved by the Special Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Notices</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement will (a) not be superseded; (b) survive any termination of this Agreement; and (c) continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time and the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>No Third-Party Beneficiaries</u>. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement and all actions, proceedings or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, the Company or the Stockholder in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Laws (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Cayman Islands: the Merger, the vesting of the rights, property, choses in action, business, undertaking, goodwill, benefits, immunities and privileges, contracts, obligations, claims, debts and liabilities of Merger Sub in the Company, the cancellation of the Company shares, the rights provided in Section 238 of the CICA, the fiduciary or other duties of the Company Board and the boards of directors of the General Partner (as general partner of Parent) and Merger Sub and the internal corporate affairs of the Company and Merger Sub.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. <u>Consent to Jurisdiction</u>. Each of the parties (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts (as defined below)) in any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, and nothing in this <u>Section 19</u> will affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Legal Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the "<u>Chosen Courts</u>") in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it shall not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of Parent, the Company and the Stockholder agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. <u>Assignment</u>. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written approval of the other party; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Parent may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent; <u>provided</u>, that any such consent by the Company shall be approved by the Special Committee; <u>provided</u>, that no assignment shall limit the assignor's obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment by any party will relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment of this Agreement without the consent required by this <u>Section 20</u> is null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Enforcement</u>. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; and (B) the rights and limitations of specific enforcement under this <u>Section 21</u> are an integral part of the Merger and without that right, no party would have entered into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Severability</u>. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, including that consideration paid or received pursuant to the Rollover Agreement and the Merger Agreement, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Definitions. As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

"**Contested Dutch Taxes**" mean, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion thereof) commencing on or after January 1, 2017, all Dutch corporate Income Taxes imposed on the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding Parent and its Affiliates (as determined as of the time immediately before Closing), other than any Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are imposed on Parent and its Affiliates), (a) in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from any Dutch Tax Action, and (b) without duplication of clause (a), any additional Dutch corporate Income Taxes payable with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period beginning on or after January 1, 2019, if such Dutch Income Tax would not have otherwise been payable but for (x) any legal requirement or any agreement with a Taxing Authority to report an item or issue with respect to such period consistently with the resolution of such Dutch Tax Action or (y) an item or issue otherwise being reported consistently with the resolution of such Dutch Tax Action, or the positions taken by the Dutch Taxing Authority in such Dutch Tax Action in the event the Parties jointly agree to take such position under <u>Section 3</u>, if such position is taken as a result of dispute resolution procedures contained in this Agreement, or if the Company and its Subsidiaries unilaterally take such position on any Bain Dutch Corporate Tax Return (as compared to the amount of Dutch corporate Income Taxes that would have been payable had the Company and its Subsidiaries prevailed on each item and issue in such Dutch Tax Action and reported consistently therewith in each applicable Tax year). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) Contested Dutch Taxes shall be determined without regard to any loss, credit, or tax attribute of Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries) for any taxable period, or any loss, credit, or other tax attribute of the Company and its Subsidiaries arising in taxable periods (or portion thereof) commencing after the Closing Date (a "**<u>Buyer Tax Asset</u>**"); provided, that if a Buyer Tax Asset is used, or is permitted by applicable law to be used, to reduce any Contested Dutch Taxes, then the relevant Due Date defined in <u>Section 5</u> shall be postponed until the earliest time or times that the relevant Buyer Tax Asset could otherwise have been used to reduce a cash Tax payment of a Parent Indemnitee (determined assuming that Buyer Tax Asset was not used to reduce a Contested Dutch Tax), and (ii) any Contested Dutch Taxes shall take into account any available loss, credit, or other tax attribute of the Company and its Subsidiaries arising in any Pre-Closing Tax Period, to the extent that such loss, credit, or other tax attribute results in an actual reduction of Contested Dutch Taxes. By way of example only, if an interest deduction with respect to an obligation for the Tax year 2017 is disallowed in connection with a final resolution of a Dutch Tax Action, the Contested Dutch Taxes shall include, in addition to any Taxes arising out of such disallowance, any additional Taxes owed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for each Pre-Closing Tax Period after 2017 (including portions thereof) as a result of (x) a legal requirement or any agreement with a Taxing Authority to report its income for such taxable period consistently with the resolution of such Dutch Tax Action or (y) such interest deduction is otherwise being reported consistently with the resolution of such Dutch Tax Action (as compared to the amount of Income Taxes the Company or its Subsidiaries would have paid had it claimed interest deductions on such obligation in respect of each such Tax year that it would have been entitled to deduct had it prevailed in the dispute on the interest deduction for the Tax year 2017 (irrespective of whether such Taxes are owed with respect to such later year as a result of filing a Tax return, an audit, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether there is an audit or other proceeding with respect to such later years). For the avoidance of doubt, Contested Tax Dutch Taxes shall only include actual cash Tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not a reduction of Tax assets or Tax attributes that do not result in a cash Tax liability; provided that for the avoidance of doubt Contested Dutch Taxes shall include any cash Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period commencing on or after January 1, 2017, payable as a result of a reduction of such Tax assets or Tax attributes.

"**Dutch Tax Action**" means (i) any Dutch Tax audit for Dutch corporate Income Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the tax years 2017 and 2018 (including that certain currently ongoing Dutch audit for such Taxes), (ii) any other Dutch Tax audit for Dutch corporate Income Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period beginning after tax year 2018, and (iii) any other audits, investigations, proceedings (whether judicial or administrative), claims, demands, actions, suits, inquiries assessments or examinations by any Taxing Authority with respect to, Dutch corporate Income Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (or portions thereof) beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

"**Income Taxes**" mean any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. Tax imposed on or measured by reference (in whole or in part) to overall net income, profits, net worth, capital gains, gross receipts, gross income and similar Taxes, including all interest, penalties, and additions to Tax or additional amount imposed with respect thereto. Income Taxes shall also include any franchise Tax imposed in lieu of the foregoing.

"**Liquidity Event**" means a transaction or series of related transactions occurring after the Closing which results in a direct or indirect disposition by the Bain Shareholder of all or some of its Subscribed Topco Common Units (including via sale, exchange, redemption, or otherwise).

"**Losses**" means any liability, loss, damage, expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs, other than the costs of Parent participating in the Dutch Tax Action as described in <u>Section 4(b)</u>), award, judgment, and penalties.

"**Pre-Closing Tax Period**" means any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, including the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period (determined in accordance with <u>‎Section 2(b)</u> of this Agreement).

"**Straddle Period**" means any Tax period commencing on or before and ending after the Closing Date.

"**Subscribed Topco Common Units**" shall have the meaning ascribed in the Rollover Agreement.

"**Tax"** or **"Taxes"** means (a) any and all taxes, assessments, fees, levies, imposts, duties, customs and similar charges and impositions of any kind whatsoever in the nature of a tax, imposed by any Governmental Authority (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including taxes based upon or measured by gross receipts, gross income, net income, profits, sales, use and occupation, value added, ad valorem, transfer, franchise, withholding, payroll, employment, severance, stamp, registration, recording, disability, unemployment, capital stock, share capital, estimated, license, registration, social security, service, excise, environmental, and real or personal property taxes or other taxes, fees, assessments or charges, together with all interest, penalties and additions to tax or additional amounts imposed with respect thereto and (b) any liability for any of the foregoing as transferee, as a result of successor liability, or as a result of being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group for any period or otherwise through operation of Law.

"**Tax Insurance Policy**" means any insurance policy obtained by Parent or its Affiliates with respect to the Contested Dutch Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. Indemnification**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Bain Shareholder (the "**Indemnitor**") shall hereby indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Topco and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including Parent, the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company, and each of their respective Affiliates) and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (each, a "**Parent Indemnitee**") from and against any Contested Dutch Taxes and Losses related thereto, and shall promptly pay such amounts to the applicable Parent Indemnitee by the Due Date. The indemnity obligations of the Bain Shareholder under this Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include amounts that are paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in respect of amounts referenced in this <u>Section 2(a)</u>; provided that such obligations shall be conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing, and, if the Closing does not occur, then no amounts shall be due or payable hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to a particular Tax period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date (a "**Straddle Period**"), (i) with respect to property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall equal the Taxes for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period that is prior to and ends on (and includes) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in such entire Straddle Period and (ii) with respect to all other Taxes (including income Taxes, sales or use Taxes, employment Taxes, and withholding Taxes), the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall be determined as if such Straddle Period were a Tax period that ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date (*i.e.*, using a "closing of the books" methodology).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Limits on Indemnity**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Cap</u>. (A) The Contested Dutch Taxes and related Losses for which the Bain Shareholder is liable pursuant to <u>Sections 2(a)</u> hereof shall be seventy-two percent (72%) of such amounts and (B) the total amount of Contested Dutch Taxes and related Losses for which the Bain Shareholder is liable pursuant to <u>Sections 2(a)</u> shall not exceed €200,000,000 Euro (the "**Cap**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Source of Recovery</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Except to the extent provided in <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(C)</u>, the Parent Indemnitees' sole and exclusive source of recovery from the Bain Shareholder for the indemnification obligations set forth in <u>Section 2(a)</u> of this Agreement shall be (I) any and all cash proceeds from a direct or indirect disposition of Subscribed Topco Common Units to which the Bain Shareholder is entitled, including cash proceeds from a disposition of Subscribed Topco Common Units to a Person other than Parent or its Affiliates, and (II) any and all cash distributions (including tax distributions) with respect to Subscribed Topco Common Units to which the Bain Shareholder is entitled, in each case, that would otherwise be paid after a relevant Due Date (as defined below) ("**Rollover Proceeds**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) To the extent any amounts owed by the Bain Shareholder under <u>Section 2(a)</u> remain unpaid, (I) Parent and its Affiliates and agents shall be entitled to withhold such amounts from any Rollover Proceeds to which the Bain Shareholder would otherwise be entitled and such amounts will be treated as having been paid or distributed to the Bain Shareholder for all purposes, and (II) the Bain Shareholder shall direct any buyer of Subscribed Topco Units held by the Bain Shareholder to wire such amounts (to the extent not in excess of the consideration paid by such buyer for the Subscribed Topco Units) to Parent or another Person designated by Parent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) Without limiting the generality of <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(B)</u>, to the extent that a Liquidity Event occurs or a cash distribution described in <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(A)</u> would otherwise be paid before all Dutch Tax Actions have been fully and completely resolved, withdrawn or settled with any liability related thereto having been satisfied in full, the following provisions shall apply to proceeds from such Liquidity Event or such cash distribution:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. If the proceeds from such Liquidity Event consist solely of cash or with respect to any such cash distribution,
Parent shall be entitled to withhold (or cause to be withheld) from Rollover Proceeds otherwise payable in cash to the Bain Shareholder
and hold in a mutually agreeable third-party escrow account, or, if the purchaser of Subscribed Topco Units is not Parent or an Affiliate
thereof, the Bain Shareholder shall deposit in a mutually agreeable third-party escrow account designated by Parent,
in each case pursuant to the terms of a mutually agreeable escrow agreement the terms of which the Parties shall negotiate in good faith,
an amount equal to the lesser of (I) the Cap, less any amounts already paid by the Bain Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, (II) Parent's
good-faith estimate of the maximum amount for which the Bain Shareholder could be liable under this Agreement at the time of such Liquidity
Event or cash distribution, in each case, as determined by Parent in good faith with the approval of the Bain Shareholder (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), and (III) cash proceeds received by the Bain Shareholder for its Subscribed
Topco Common Units upon such Liquidity Event or an amount equal to such cash distribution as applicable; <u>provided</u> that, in the
Bain Shareholder's sole discretion, the Bain Shareholder may, in lieu of depositing such funds as may be required pursuant to this <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(C)(A)</u>, instead provide a customary guaranty of such obligations from a creditworthy affiliated investment fund
of the Bain Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. If the proceeds from such Liquidity Event or distributions with respect to Subscribed Topco Common Units
to which the Bain Shareholder is entitled consist solely of any property other than cash (including, without limitation, equity interests
in any other entity), such property shall be deemed to be replacement property for the Subscribed Topco Common Units ()"**Replacement Property** "), the term "Subscribed Topco Common Units" shall be deemed to include such Replacement Property for all
purposes of this Agreement, and the terms of this Agreement shall apply to such Replacement Property *mutatis mutandis*. For the
avoidance of doubt, proceeds from a subsequent disposition of, or distribution on, Replacement Property received by the Bain Shareholder
shall be Rollover Proceeds for purposes of this Agreement and shall be a source of recovery for Parent Indemnitees

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. If the proceeds from such Liquidity Event or distributions with respect to Subscribed Topco Common
 Units to which the Bain Shareholder is entitled consist of cash and Replacement Property, (x) the Replacement Property shall be
 treated in the manner set forth in <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(C)(B)</u> above and (y) to the extent that Parent determines in good faith
 with the approval of the Bain Shareholder (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) that amounts for
 which the Bain Shareholder could to be liable under this Agreement
may exceed the value of the Replacement Property, <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(C)(A)</u> shall apply to cash proceeds from such Liquidity Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) For the avoidance of doubt, subject to <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(C)</u>, in no event shall any Parent Indemnitee have the right to "claw back" any such Rollover Proceeds or otherwise seek payment from the Bain Shareholder after such Rollover Proceeds have been paid to the Bain Shareholder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Due Date for the payment of any portion of Contested Dutch Taxes is postponed as a result of the second sentence of the definition of Contested Dutch Taxes, the provisions of <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(C)</u> shall apply to any Rollover Proceeds received during such the period beginning on the date a Parent Indemnitee makes a claim under <u>Section 2(a)</u> the payment of which is postponed as a result of the second sentence of the definition of Contested Dutch Taxes, but solely to the extent of any such postponed amounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the Bain Shareholder directly or indirectly transfers the Subscribed Topco Common Units to an Affiliate of the Bain Shareholder in a non-arm's length transaction, for purposes of this Agreement the term Bain Shareholder shall include both the Bain Shareholder as of the date hereof and such Affiliate, <u>provided</u> that, for purposes of determining the party required to provide the guaranty contemplated in the proviso set forth in <u>Section 2(c)(ii)(C)(A)</u>), the last reference in such proviso to the Bain Shareholder shall be the Bain Shareholder as of the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Tax Insurance Policy</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The applicable Parent Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) obtain the Tax Insurance Policy; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent nor its Affiliates shall be required to obtain any policy with a premium in excess of $30,000,000; <u>provided further</u>, that if the premium under such Tax Insurance Policy is in excess of $30,000,000, the binding of such policy shall also require the written consent of the Bain Shareholder (such consent which may be granted or not in the Bain Shareholder's sole discretion), and (y) obtain recovery under the Tax Insurance Policy for Losses pursuant to <u>Section 2(a)(i)</u> and in accordance with the terms of such policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) If Parent or an Affiliate thereof is able to obtain a Tax Insurance Policy, the Bain Shareholder shall have no further indemnification obligations hereunder for any Losses to the extent such Losses are covered by such policy (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, any exclusions from, and limitations to, such policy).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) Any costs incurred in obtaining the Tax Insurance Policy, including any premium payments, shall be paid solely by Parent or any Affiliate of Parent or, after the Closing, the Company up to an amount not to exceed $30,000,000 and any such costs in excess of $30,000,000 shall be borne by the Bain Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) If the Bain Shareholder pays in cash any Contested Dutch Taxes pursuant to this Agreement and Parent or any of its Affiliates subsequently recovers any amounts of Contested Dutch Taxes that were paid in cash by the Bain Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement on the Tax Insurance Policy, such amounts shall be for the account of the Bain Shareholder and shall be paid five (5) days after receipt thereof, net of any costs and expenses (including Taxes) incurred by Parent or its Affiliates in obtaining such recovery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) The Bain Shareholder shall have the right to participate (at its own cost and expense) in the negotiation of any Tax Insurance Policy with the insurer, including that (i) the Parent Indemnitee shall keep the Bain Shareholder reasonably informed regarding the progress of obtaining the Tax Insurance Policy, (ii) the applicable Parent Indemnitee shall provide the Bain Shareholder with a reasonable opportunity to comment on any applicable documents and consider in good faith, and use commercially reasonable efforts to include, any reasonable comments made by the Bain Shareholder with respect thereto, and (iii) a representative of the Bain Shareholder shall be entitled to participate in any conferences or negotiations with the insurer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Indemnitor shall not be liable under <u>Section 2(a)</u> hereunder for any amount to the extent (A) such amount relates to a Tax arising in any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date (a "**Post-Closing Tax Period**") , or (B) due to the unavailability of any Tax asset or attribute (including basis) in any Post-Closing Tax Period. For avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, this <u>Section 2(c)(iv)</u> is not intended to limit the payments of any amounts due but postponed under the second sentence of the definition of Contest Dutch Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) No Parent Indemnitee shall, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) (i) re-file, modify, or amend any Dutch Corporate Tax Return (as defined below) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion thereof) commencing on or after January 1, 2017, (ii) extend or waive the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Dutch corporate Income Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion thereof) commencing on or after January 1, 2017, (iii) file any ruling or request with the Dutch Taxing Authority that relates to Contested Dutch Taxes, (iv) enter into any voluntarily disclosure agreement with the Dutch Tax Authorities regarding any Contested Dutch Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Any amounts payable hereunder shall be determined net of any Income Tax benefits actually realized by any Parent Indemnitee with respect to any such Contested Dutch Taxes or related Loss in the taxable year of the indemnity payment or any prior taxable year (determined on a "with or without" basis).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) <u>Sole and Exclusive Remedy</u>. Recovery against the Rollover Proceeds pursuant to this <u>Section 2</u> constitutes Parent's sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses or other claims for which the Bain Shareholder is liable pursuant to <u>Section 2(a)</u>. Parent agrees that, other than (A) from Rollover Proceeds in respect of the Bain Shareholder's indemnification obligations set forth in Section 2(a) of this Agreement or (B) against the Bain Shareholder in respect of breaches of <u>Section 7</u>, under no circumstances will the Bain Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the "**Bain Parties**") have any liability to any of the Parent Indemnitees relating to or arising out of this Agreement. None of Parent or the other Parent Indemnitees may avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this <u>Section 2(c)(vii)</u> by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability. Furthermore, without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the last sentence of this <u>Section 2(c)(vii)</u>, no claim shall be brought or maintained by any Parent Indemnitee against any Bain Party, and no recourse of any kind shall be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Bain Shareholder set forth in this Agreement, any certificate, instrument, opinion or other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or the subject matter of this Agreement, in each case other than claims permitted under, in compliance with, and subject to all of the provisions and limitations of this <u>Section 2</u>. The Parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including this <u>Section 2(c)(vii)</u>), constitute an integral part of the consideration given to the Bain Shareholder and were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this <u>Section 2(c)(vii)</u> shall not be construed as limiting any rights and remedies of the Parent Indemnitees against the Bain Shareholder (A) under any other Transaction Agreements (as defined below) or any other agreement between or among the parties hereto, (B) for breaches of representations and warranties under <u>Section 7</u>, or (C) in the event of actual fraud in respect of the representations and warranties in this Agreement by any Bain Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) <u>Mitigation</u>. Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Tax Returns**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Parent shall be entitled to prepare or cause to be prepared all Dutch corporate Income Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods commencing on or after January 1, 2017 that are filed after the Closing Date ("**Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Returns**"). All such Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by law (including the resolution of any Dutch Tax Action). With respect to any Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Return , Parent shall provide the Shareholder Representative with drafts of such Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Returns no later than twenty (20) days prior to the filing date thereof. The Shareholder Representative shall have the right to review, approve (subject to the dispute resolution mechanism contemplated herein), and provide comments on such Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Returns during the ten (10)-day period following the receipt of such Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Returns. Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of any Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Returns and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items shall be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Return) by a nationally-recognized independent accounting firm chosen by both the Parent Indemnitees and the Shareholder Representative. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Return shall be timely filed on that basis. The costs, fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Parent, on the one hand, and the Bain Shareholder, on the other hand. If any dispute with respect to a Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Return, such Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Return shall be filed in the manner which Parent deems correct, without prejudice to the other party's rights and obligations under this <u>Section 3(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to prepare or cause to be prepared all Dutch corporate Income Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are filed or due before the Closing Date ("**Bain Dutch Corporate Tax Returns**" and, together with Parent Dutch Corporate Tax Returns, "**Dutch Corporate Tax Returns**"). All such Bain Dutch Corporate Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by law (including the resolution of any Dutch Tax Action). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall provide Parent with drafts of any Bain Dutch Corporate Tax Returns no later than twenty (20) days prior to the filing date thereof and Parent and its Subsidiaries shall have the rights afforded to the Shareholder Representative in <u>Section 3(a)</u> above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Defense of Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) After the earlier of (i) obtaining knowledge of a claim or (ii) receiving written notice of any Dutch Tax Action for which the Bain Shareholder is or may be liable under this Agreement, Parent shall give Shareholder Representative reasonably prompt written notice (a "**Claim Notice**") of any such claim, describing in reasonable detail the claim, the Losses actually incurred to date, the amount of such claim (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof and including copies of all applicable documents relating to such claim. Parent's failure to provide a Claim Notice to the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this <u>Section 4(a)</u> shall not relieve the Bain Shareholder of any liability that the Bain Shareholder may have to any Person pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent the Bain Shareholder is materially prejudiced by such delay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Shareholder Representative shall have the right to control the defense, appeal, or settlement of any Dutch Tax Action (including selection of counsel, determining whether to pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings (whether judicial or administrative), hearings, conferences, and mutual agreement procedures) including with respect to a Straddle Period; <u>provided</u> that (i) Parent shall have the right to participate, at its own cost and expense (which costs and expenses, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to the indemnification obligations set forth in <u>Section 2(a)</u>), in defending against any such Dutch Tax Action, (ii) the Shareholder Representative shall consult Parent concerning the conduct of such Dutch Tax Action, (ii) the Shareholder Representative shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the progress of any such Dutch Tax Action, (iii) any counsel selected by Shareholder Representative shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and, for the avoidance of doubt, both Kirkland & Ellis LLP and PwC shall be deemed reasonably acceptable for purposes of this clause (iii), (iv) the Shareholder Representative shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to comment on any written materials prior to their submission and accept any reasonable comments made by Parent with respect thereto, (v) a Company representative shall be entitled to be present at all meetings with the relevant Tax authority and all other proceedings, and (vii) the Shareholder Representative and its Affiliates shall not settle any Dutch Tax Action without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall execute any powers of attorney or other documents to allow for the Shareholder Representative to control any Tax Action that the Shareholder Representative is entitled to control pursuant to this <u>Section 4(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Due Date for Payment. The due date for payment under <u>Section 2</u> (the "Due Date") shall be the date falling five (5) business days after service by Parent of a notice containing a written demand (which shall set out reasonable particulars of the liability) in respect of relevant liability, or, where later and if applicable, where a liability to make a payment of Tax which has not at the date of the notice become due and payable, the date falling five (5) business days before the latest date (taking into account the conduct of the matter giving rise to the claim) by which that Tax is due and payable to the relevant taxing authority, provided that if in the course of any Dutch Tax Action the date on which the Tax is due and payable is postponed, the due date for payment shall be five (5) business days before such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Tax Refunds. In the event that the Bain Shareholder pays any Contested Dutch Taxes pursuant to this Agreement and Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates receives a refund of a Contested Dutch Tax, the Bain Shareholder shall be entitled to the amount of such refunded Contested Dutch Tax that was paid by the Bain shareholder pursuant to this Agreement (including interest paid thereon by any Taxing Authority), provided that the portion of any such refund that is on account of the Bain Shareholder shall not exceed 72% of the aggregate amount of any such refund that is received by the Company or its Subsidiaries (a "Seller Tax Refund"). Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, any Seller Tax Refund to the Bain Shareholder within five (5) days of receipt thereof, net of (x) any Taxes of Parent or any of its Affiliates attributable to such refund, and (y) any expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds. Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (or cause to be obtained) any Seller Tax Refund and will request a refund to be paid in cash where available. Parent shall keep the Shareholder Representative reasonably informed as to the availability of any Seller Tax Refund and the status of any claim regarding any Seller Tax Refund. If any amount paid to the Bain Shareholder pursuant to this <u>Section 6</u> is subsequently challenged successfully by any Taxing Authority, the Bain Shareholder shall repay to Parent such amount (together with any interest and penalties assessed by such Taxing Authority in respect of such amount). Such repayment obligation shall survive until the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the collection by the applicable Taxing Authority or other Person of the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). Any rights of the Bain Shareholder to the receipt of Seller Tax Refunds pursuant to this <u>Section 6</u> shall expire on the date that is three (3) years after the date on which the Bain Shareholder ceases to be liable for any Contested Dutch Taxes or related Losses pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Tax Receivable Agreement. No Tax Benefit Payment (as defined in the TRA) or other payments (including any payment pursuant to Article IV of the TRA) has been made in respect of, or pursuant to, the TRA, to the Shareholder Representative, to any Shareholder, for or on behalf of the Shareholders (as such terms are defined in the TRA), or any other person at any time on or after January 1, 2023 (other than a payment of approximately $1.7 million in January 2023), and no payments will be made pursuant to such agreement after the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Cooperation. Parent shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the Shareholder Representative, in connection with any Dutch Tax Action. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Shareholder Representative's request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Dutch Corporate Tax Return or Dutch Tax Action, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Adjustment. The Parties hereto agree to treat any payment hereunder as an adjustment with respect to the Common Exchange (as defined in the Rollover Agreement) for Tax purposes to the extent permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated elsewhere in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Tax Receivable Termination Agreement, the Rollover Agreement, any clean team agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or any other Transaction Document (the "Transaction Agreements"), the obligations of the Bain Shareholder under this Agreement shall survive the Closing until ninety (90) days subsequent to the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) applicable to the assessment or collection of the Contested Dutch Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11. Miscellaneous.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Parties agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and therefore waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by Electronic Delivery, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience of reference purposes only and will not affect or be deemed to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any term or provision hereof. The meaning assigned to each capitalized term defined and used in this Agreement is equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of such term, and words denoting any gender include all genders. When used herein, (i) the words "hereof," "herein" and "herewith" and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; and (ii) the words "include," "includes" and "including" will be deemed in each case to be followed by the words "without limitation."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that, as of the date hereof, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action required by or on behalf of such Party, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that, as of the date hereof, the execution, delivery and performance by such Party of this Agreement requires no consents, waivers, filings, authorizations or approvals other than such consents, waivers, filings, authorizations and approvals that have been obtained or made as of the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Each Party shall, without additional consideration, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by another Party to make effective, and to effectuate, the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by Parent and the Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Bain Shareholder). No provision of this Agreement may be waived by (i) Parent, Merger Sub, Holdings UK, Topco or the Company (after the Closing), unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Parent, or (ii) the Bain Shareholder, the Shareholder Representative or the Company (prior to the Closing), unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Shareholder Representative. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives, including any permitted assignee. This Agreement and any rights and obligations of an Indemnitor not be assigned by such Indemnitor without Parent's express prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); any assignment without such written consent shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) In the event of any litigation or arbitration related to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

**RECITALS**

**WHEREAS**, Pubco, the Company, the Shareholder Representative, in its capacity as such, and the other persons party thereto, as shareholders (each a "<u>Shareholder</u>" and collectively, the "<u>Shareholders</u>") entered into that certain Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2021 (the "<u>Tax Receivable Agreement</u>");

**WHEREAS**, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides for certain Tax Benefit Payments and other payments by the Company to each Shareholder from time to time; and

**WHEREAS**, in connection with, and conditioned upon consummation of, the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among, Pubco, Olympus Water Holdings IV, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, acting by its general partner, General Partner (as defined therein) ("<u>Parent</u>") and Diamond Merger Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company, dated on or about the date hereof (the "<u>Merger Agreement</u>"), the Parties desire to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the respective covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Termination. The Pubco, the Company and the Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Tax Receivable Agreement and without any further action of the Parties or any other Person, immediately prior to or at (but conditioned upon the occurrence of) the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and for no consideration, the Tax Receivable Agreement shall be irrevocably terminated in its entirety as of the Effective Time and no party hereto or thereto shall have any further obligations or liability thereunder as of the Effective Time (the "<u>Termination</u>" and the date upon which the Termination occurs, the "<u>Termination Date</u>"). From and after the Effective Date, no Tax Benefit Schedule shall be delivered, and no Tax Benefit Payment or other applicable payments shall be made or due in respect of, or pursuant to, the Tax Receivable Agreement, to the Shareholder Representative, to any Shareholder, for or on behalf of the Shareholders, or to any other person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment pursuant to Article IV of the Tax Receivable Agreement (including any Early Termination Payment as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement)). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Tax Receivable Agreement, on or after the Effective Date, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Realized Tax Benefit for any tax period and no payments shall made pursuant to Article IV of the Tax Receivable Agreement (including any Early Termination Payment (as such term is defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement)).

The Parties hereby (i) waive any notice requirements or other rights set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement that may be applicable to the Termination (or any terms thereof), (ii) acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Article IV of the Tax Receivable Agreement shall not apply to the Termination (or any terms thereof), which shall solely be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and that the Termination (or any terms thereof) shall not constitute or give rise to an Early Termination Payment, (iii) agree that the confidentiality obligations provided for under Section 7.13 of the Tax Receivable Agreement shall survive the termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement and terminate on the first anniversary of the Termination Date, (iv) agree that, following the Effective Date, no payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement shall be made or owed by the Company to the Shareholder Representative or to any Shareholder, and (v) agree that, upon the consummation of the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Tax Receivable Agreement shall terminate, cease to be effective and be of no further force or effect, except as expressly provided in the foregoing <u>clause (iii)</u>.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement do not require the Shareholder Representative to obtain any consent or approval (including from any Shareholder) that has not been obtained and do not contravene or result in a default under any provision of any law applicable to the Shareholder Representative or other governing documents or any agreement or instrument to which the Shareholder Representative is a party or by which such party is bound. This Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable against the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders in accordance with its terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2. The Parties agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and therefore waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any governmental entity, all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6. No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by the Company, the Shareholders (through the Shareholder Representative) and Parent. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective and Parent. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives, including any permitted assignee; <u>provided</u>, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties expressly agree that Parent shall be, and is intended to be, a third party beneficiary of the covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement, which covenants and agreements shall not be amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of Parent. This Agreement and any rights and obligations of a Party hereunder may not be assigned by any Party without each other Party's prior written consent; any assignment without such written consent shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.7. The law of the State of Delaware shall govern (a) all claims or matters related to or arising from this Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (b) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION, ACTION, PROCEEDING, CROSS-CLAIM, OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY COURT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH (A) THIS AGREEMENT OF THE VALIDITY, PERFORMANCE, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR (B) THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, AUTHORIZATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9. This Agreement shall amend and supplement the Tax Receivable Agreement and shall form a part of the Tax Receivable Agreement for all purposes. Except as expressly amended hereby, each term, provision, exhibit and schedule of the Tax Receivable Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed and remains in full force and effect.
