	 	2.	 Registration Under the Securities Act. 

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Issuer agrees to file under the
Securities Act, no later than 180 days after the Closing Date, a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange (such registration statement, the “Exchange Registration Statement,” and such offer, the “Exchange
Offer”) any and all of the Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities issued by the Issuer and guaranteed by the Guarantors, which debt securities and guarantee are substantially identical to the Securities and the
related Guarantee, respectively (and are entitled to the benefits of a trust indenture which is substantially identical to the Indenture or is the Indenture and which has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and do not contain provisions for the additional interest contemplated in Section 2(c) below (such new debt securities hereinafter called “Exchange
Securities”). The Issuer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act no later than 90 days after the filing of the Exchange Registration
Statement (or 180 days if the Exchange Registration Statement is subject to review by the Commission). The Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply with all applicable tender offer rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act. Unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, the Issuer further agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to (i) commence the Exchange Offer promptly (but
no later than 10 Business Days) following the Effective Time of such Exchange Registration Statement, (ii) hold the Exchange Offer open for at least 20 Business Days in accordance with Regulation 14E promulgated by the Commission under the
Exchange Act and (iii) exchange Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn promptly following the expiration of the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been
“completed” only if the debt securities and related guarantee received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of a substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. The Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon
the Issuer having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the Exchange Offer, which shall be on a date that is at least
20 Business Days following the commencement of the Exchange Offer. The Issuer agrees (x) to include in the Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer and
(y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the “Resale Period”) beginning when Exchange Securities are first issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the
90th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed or
such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in
Subsections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e). 

  
 5 

 (b) If (i) on or prior to the time the
Exchange Offer is completed existing Commission interpretations are changed such that the debt securities or the related guarantee received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are not or would
not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration Statement is not within 270 days following the Closing Date (or 360 days if the Exchange
Registration Statement is subject to review by the Commission) and the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 30 Business Days of such Effective Time or (iii) any holder of Registrable Securities notifies the Issuer prior to the 20th Business Day following the completion of the Exchange offer
that: (A) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) it may not resell the Exchange Securities to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus supplement contained if
the Exchange Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Securities acquired directly from the Issuer or an affiliate of the Issuer, then the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, in
lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act no later than 30 days after the time such obligation to file arises (but no earlier than 180
days after the Closing Date), a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar
rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the “Shelf Registration” and such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Issuer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective no later than 90 days after such Shelf Registration Statement filing obligation arises (or 180 days if the Shelf Registration Statement is subject to review by the Commission,
but no earlier than 270 days, or 360 days, as applicable, after the date of the Indenture); provided that if at any time the Issuer is or becomes a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405) and is eligible to file
an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405), then the Issuer and the Guarantors shall file the Exchange Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement as provided in
Rule 405. The Issuer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of the second anniversary of the Closing Date or such time as there are
no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding. No holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless
such holder is an Electing Holder. The Issuer agrees, after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement and promptly upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to enable such holder to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf
Registration Statement (whether by post-effective amendment thereto or by filing a prospectus pursuant to Rules 430B and 424(b) under the Securities Act identifying such holder), provided, however, that nothing in this Clause
(y) shall relieve any such holder of the obligation to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Issuer in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii). 

  
 6 

 (c) In the event that (i) the Issuer and the Guarantors have not
filed the Exchange Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), respectively, or (ii) such
Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective or been declared effective by the Commission on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to become or be declared effective pursuant
to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), respectively, or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 30 Business Days after the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration Statement relating to the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange
Offer is then required to be made) or (iv) any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the
Issuer or shall become subject to an effective stop order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement (except as specifically permitted herein) without being succeeded
immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default” and each period during which a Registration Default has
occurred and is continuing, a “Registration Default Period”), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), special interest (“Special Interest”), in
addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period and at a per annum rate of 0.50% thereafter for the remaining portion of the Registration Default Period. Special
Interest shall accrue and be payable only with respect to a single Registration Default at any given time, notwithstanding the fact that multiple Registration Defaults may exist at such time. The accrual of Special Interest shall be the exclusive
monetary remedy available to the holders of Registrable Securities for any Registration Default. 
 (d) The
Issuer shall take, and shall cause the Guarantors to take, all actions reasonably necessary or advisable to be taken by it to ensure that the transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated, including all actions reasonably
necessary or desirable to register the Guarantee under the registration statement contemplated in Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), as applicable. 
 (e) Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any
reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time. 

 

	 	3.	 Registration Procedures. 

 If the Issuer and the Guarantors file a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), the following provisions shall apply:

case may be, the Issuer shall qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (xi) furnish to each Electing
Holder and the counsel referred to in Section 3(d)(vi) an executed copy (or a conformed copy) of such Shelf Registration Statement, each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto (in the case of an
Electing Holder of Registrable Securities, upon request) and documents incorporated by reference therein) and such number of copies of such Shelf Registration Statement (excluding exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein
unless specifically so requested by such Electing Holder) and of the prospectus included in such Shelf Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act to the extent such documents are not available through the Commission’s EDGAR System, and such other documents, as such Electing Holder may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the offering and disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Electing Holder and to permit such Electing Holder to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; and subject to Section 3(e), the
Issuer hereby consents to the use of such prospectus (including such preliminary and summary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto by each such Electing Holder, in each case in the form most recently provided to such person by the
Issuer, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus (including such preliminary and summary prospectus) or any supplement or amendment thereto; 

(xii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to (A) register or qualify the Registrable
Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement under such securities laws or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Electing Holder shall reasonably request, (B) keep such registrations or qualifications in effect and comply
with such laws so as to permit the continuance of offers, sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions during the period the Shelf Registration is required to remain effective under Section 2(b) and for so long as may be necessary to enable
any such Electing Holder to complete its distribution of Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, (C) take any and all other actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such Electing Holder to consummate
the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities and (D) obtain the consent or approval of each governmental agency or authority, whether federal, state or local, which may be required to effect the Shelf Registration or the
offering or sale in connection therewith or to enable the selling holder or holders to offer, or to consummate the 

  
 13 

 disposition of, their Registrable Securities; provided,
however, that neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be required for any such purpose to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for the requirements of this
Section 3(d)(xii), (2) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or become subject to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (3) make any changes to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other governing
documents or any agreement between it and its stockholders; 
 (xiii) unless any Registrable
Securities shall be in book-entry only form, cooperate with the Electing Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates, if so required by any securities
exchange upon which any Registrable Securities are listed, shall be printed, penned, lithographed, engraved or otherwise produced by any combination of such methods, on steel engraved borders, and which certificates shall not bear any restrictive
legends; 
 (xiv) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities, not later than the
applicable Effective Time; 
 (xv) notify in writing each holder of Registrable Securities
of any proposal by the Issuer to amend or waive any provision of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9(h) and of any amendment or waiver effected pursuant thereto, each of which notices shall contain the text of the amendment or waiver proposed
or effected, as the case may be; 
 (xvi) comply with all applicable rules and regulations
of the Commission, and make generally available to its securityholders no later than eighteen months after the Effective Time of such Shelf Registration Statement an earnings statement of the Issuer and its subsidiaries complying with
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including, at the option of the Issuer, Rule 158 thereunder). 
 (e) In the event that the Issuer would be required, pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(G), to notify the Electing Holders, the Issuer shall promptly prepare and furnish to each of the Electing
Holders a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the
Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing. Each Electing Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(G), such Electing Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Securities until such Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by the Issuer, such Electing Holder shall deliver to the
Issuer (at the Issuer’s expense) all copies, 

  
 14 

 
other than permanent file copies, then in such Electing Holder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. 

(f) In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information required to be provided by
each Electing Holder in its Notice and Questionnaire, the Issuer may require such Electing Holder to furnish to the Issuer such additional information regarding such Electing Holder and such Electing Holder’s intended method of distribution of
Registrable Securities as may be required in order to comply with the Securities Act. Each such Electing Holder agrees to notify the Issuer as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by such Electing
Holder to the Issuer or of the occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such
Electing Holder’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to the Issuer any additional information required to correct and update any previously
furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or the disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. 
 (g) Until the expiration of two years after the Closing Date, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) to, resell any of the Securities
that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or a valid exemption from the registration requirements, under the Securities Act. 

(h) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each holder of Registrable Securities
shall furnish, upon the request of the Issuer, a written representation to the Issuer (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal or “agent’s message” transmitted via The Depository Trust Company’s Automated Tender Offer
Procedures, in either case contemplated by the Exchange Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an “affiliate” of the Issuer, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if it is such an
“affiliate,” it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (B) it is not engaged in and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding
with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business, (D) if it is a broker-dealer that holds
Securities that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Securities acquired directly from the Issuer or any of its affiliates), it will deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by it in the Exchange Offer, (E) if it 

  
 15 

 
is a broker-dealer, that it did not purchase the Securities to be exchanged in the Exchange Offer from the Issuer or any of its affiliates, and (F) it is not acting on behalf of any person
who could not truthfully and completely make the representations contained in the foregoing subclauses (A) through (E). 
  

	 	4.	 Registration Expenses. 

 The Issuer agrees to bear and to pay or cause to be paid promptly all expenses incident to the Issuer’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including (a) all Commission and any
NASD registration, filing and review fees and expenses including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Eligible Holders in connection with such registration, filing and review, (b) all fees and expenses in connection with the
qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under the State securities and blue sky laws referred to in Section 3(d)(xii) and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Electing
Holders may designate, including any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Electing Holders in connection with such qualification and determination, (c) all expenses relating to the preparation, printing, production, distribution
and reproduction of each registration statement required to be filed hereunder, each prospectus included therein or prepared for distribution pursuant hereto, each amendment or supplement to the foregoing, the expenses of preparing the Securities
for delivery and the expenses of printing or producing any selling agreements and blue sky or legal investment memoranda and all other documents in connection with the offering, sale or delivery of Securities to be disposed of (including
certificates representing the Securities), (d) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses relating to the offering, sale or delivery of Securities and the preparation of documents referred in clause (c) above, (e) fees and expenses of
the Trustee under the Indenture, any agent of the Trustee and any counsel for the Trustee and of any collateral agent or custodian, (f) internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of the Issuer’s officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), (g) reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Issuer, (h) reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of one counsel for the Electing
Holders retained in connection with a Shelf Registration, as selected by the Electing Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by Electing Holders (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuer), (i) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Securities, and (j) fees, expenses and disbursements of any other persons, including special experts, retained by the Issuer in connection with such
registration (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”). To the extent that any Registration Expenses are incurred, assumed or paid by any holder of Registrable Securities, the Issuer shall reimburse such person for the full amount
of the Registration Expenses so incurred, assumed or paid promptly after receipt of a request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all agency fees and commissions and
underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of such Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained by such holders (severally or
jointly), other than the counsel and experts specifically referred to above.

	 	5.	 Representations and Warranties. 

 The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with, each Purchaser and each of the holders from time to time of Registrable Securities that: 

(a) Each registration statement covering Registrable Securities and each prospectus (including any
preliminary or summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) and any further amendments or supplements to any such registration statement or prospectus, when it becomes effective or is filed
with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and at all times subsequent to the Effective Time when a prospectus would be required to be delivered under the Securities Act, other than from (i) such
time as a notice has been given to holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)(G) or Section 3(d)(viii)(G) until (ii) such time as the Issuer furnishes an amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to
Section 3(c)(iv) or Section 3(e), each such registration statement, and each prospectus (including any summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d), as then amended or supplemented,
will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Issuer by a holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein. 
 (b) Any documents incorporated by reference in any prospectus referred to in Section 5(a), when they become or became effective or are or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will
conform or conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents will contain or contained an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and
in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Issuer by a holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein. 
 (c) The compliance by the Issuer with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer
or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the 

  
 17 

 
certificate of incorporation, as amended, or the by-laws or other governing documents, as applicable, of the Issuer or the Guarantors or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any
order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, except in the case of (i) and (iii) above, for such conflicts,
breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as whole (a
“Material Adverse Effect”); and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Issuer and the Guarantors of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (w) the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities and qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, (x) such consents, approvals, authorizations,
registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the offering and distribution of the Securities, (y) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications that
have been obtained and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof and (z) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications that the failure to have would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (d) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Issuer. 
  

	 	6.	 Indemnification and Contribution. 

 (a) Indemnification by the Issuer and the Guarantors. The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the holders of Registrable Securities
included in an Exchange Registration Statement and each of the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or such
Electing Holder may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus
(including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) contained therein or furnished by the Issuer to any such holder or such Electing Holder, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such holder and such Electing Holder for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be liable to any such
person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, or preliminary,
final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” 

  
 18 

 
as defined in Rule 433), or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by such person expressly for use therein.

 (b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each holder of Securities, severally and not jointly, will
(i) indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, each Guarantor and all other holders of Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuer, each Guarantor or such other holders of Registrable Securities
may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) contained therein or furnished by the Issuer to any
such Electing Holder, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by
such Electing Holder expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Issuer and each Guarantor for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer and each Guarantor in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Electing Holder shall be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds
to be received by such Electing Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration. 
 (c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such
action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or
Section 6(b). In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that
it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel
to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of
other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or
not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such 

  
 19 

 
action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and
(ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds
received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The holders’ obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered by them and not joint. 

(e) The obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability
which the Issuer or each Guarantor may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and partner of each holder and each person, if any, who controls any holder within the meaning of the Securities
Act; and the obligations of the holders contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective holder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of
the Issuer or any Guarantor (including any person who, with his consent, is named in any registration statement as about to become a director of the 

  
 20 

 
Issuer or any of the Guarantor) and to each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act. 

 

	 	7.	 Underwritten Offerings. 

 Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with the Issuer and each other such holder that no holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless
(a) the Issuer gives its prior written consent to such underwritten offering, (b) the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Securities to be included in such offering, provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, (c) each holder of Registrable Securities participating in such
underwritten offering agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled selecting the managing underwriter or underwriters hereunder and (d) each
holder of Registrable Securities participating in such underwritten offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to effect more than three underwritten offerings under this Section 7 and any underwritten offering must include Notes in an aggregate principal amount
of at least $67.5 million. 
  

	 	8.	 Rule 144. 

 The Issuer covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to timely file the
reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144), and shall take such further action as
any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption
provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Issuer shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with
such requirements. 
  

	 	9.	 Miscellaneous. 

 (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that it has not granted, and shall not grant, registration rights with respect to Registrable Securities
or any other securities which would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Agreement. 

(b) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the
Issuer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such
holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled 

  
 21 

 
to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in any court of the United States or any State
thereof having jurisdiction. Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement. 
 (c) Notices. All
notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including emails) and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, if delivered personally, by facsimile, by courier or electronic
mail, or three days after being deposited in the mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows: If to the Issuer, to it at 1310 Goshen Parkway, P.O. Box 2656, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380, and if
to a holder, to the address of such holder set forth in the security register or other records of the Issuer, or to such other address as the Issuer or any such holder may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that
notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 (d) Parties in Interest. All
the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors and assigns
of the parties hereto and such holders. In the event that any transferee of any holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee
shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable
Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the Issuer shall so request, any such successor,
assign or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the applicable terms hereof. 
 (e) Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of such holder, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and
shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the transfer and registration of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of an Exchange Offer. 

(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York. 
 (g) Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections
and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

(h) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other writings referred to herein (including the
Indenture and the form of Securities) or delivered pursuant hereto which form a part hereof contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between
the parties 

  
 22 

 
with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument duly executed by the Issuer and the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities at the time outstanding. Each holder of any Registrable
Securities at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver effected pursuant to this Section 9(h), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment or waiver appears on such Registrable
Securities or is delivered to such holder. 
 (i) Inspection. For so long as this Agreement shall be
in effect, this Agreement and a complete list of the names and addresses of all the holders of Registrable Securities to the extent known by the Issuer following reasonable inquiry shall be made available for inspection and copying on any Business
Day by any holder of Registrable Securities for proper purposes only (which shall include any purpose related to the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities under the Securities, the Indenture and this Agreement) at the offices of the Issuer
at the address thereof set forth in Section 9(c) and at the office of the Trustee under the Indenture. 

(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 

(k) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired
thereby.

 “An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of
common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the
short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the
shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.” 
 By returning this Notice and
Questionnaire, the undersigned Selling Securityholder will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation. 

  
 A-8

 The Selling
Securityholder hereby acknowledges its obligations under the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and certain other persons as set forth in the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. 

In the event that the Selling Securityholder transfers all or any portion of the Registrable Securities listed in Item (3) above
after the date on which such information is provided to the Issuer, the Selling Securityholder agrees to notify the transferee(s) at the time of the transfer of its rights and obligations under this Notice and Questionnaire and the Exchange and
Registration Rights Agreement. 
 By signing below, the Selling Securityholder consents to the disclosure of the information
contained herein in its answers to Items (1) through (9) above and the inclusion of such information in the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus. The Selling Securityholder understands that such information will be relied
upon by the Issuer in connection with the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus. 
 In
accordance with the Selling Securityholder’s obligation under Section 3(d) of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement to provide such information as may be required by law for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, the
Selling Securityholder agrees to promptly notify the Issuer of any inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein which may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Shelf Registration Statement remains in effect and to

processing, engineering, marketing, merchandising, selling and invoicing, which information is acquired from or through VWR during the course of my employment by VWR. “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that
is or becomes publicly known or that enters the public domain other than as a result of my breach of my obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between me and VWR or its affiliates. I agree that I will not at any time hereafter
disclose Confidential Information to third parties or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than to further VWR’s business, except as is required by law, any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental agency or authority
or recognized subpoena power. 

  

	6.	 Assignment of Inventions. I will make prompt and full disclosure to VWR, will hold in trust for the sole benefit of VWR, and will assign,
exclusively to VWR all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, discoveries, designs, developments, improvements, copyrightable material, and trade secrets (collectively herein “Inventions”) that I, solely or
jointly, may conceive, develop, or reduce to practice during the period of time I am in the employ of VWR. I hereby waive and quitclaim to VWR any and all claims of any nature whatsoever that I now or hereafter may have for infringement of any
patent resulting from any patent applications for any Inventions so assigned to VWR. 

 My
obligation to assign shall not apply to any Invention about which I can prove that: 
  

	 	(a)	 it was developed entirely on my own time; and 

  

	 	(b)	 no equipment, supplies, facility, services, or trade secret information of VWR were used in its development; and 

 

	 	(c)	 it does not relate (i) directly to the business of VWR or (ii) to the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of VWR;
and 

  

	 	(d)	 it does not result from any work performed by me for VWR. 

 

	7.	 Excluded and Licensed Inventions. I have attached hereto a list describing all Inventions belonging to me and made by me prior to my
employment with VWR that I wish to have excluded from this Agreement. If no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such Inventions. If in the course of my employment at VWR, I incorporate into a VWR product, process, or machine, an
Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, VWR is hereby granted and shall have an exclusive royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license to make, have made, use, and sell that Invention without restriction as to the extent of my
ownership or interest. 

  
 2 

	8.	 Application for Copyrights and Patents. I will execute any proper oath or verify any proper document in connection with carrying out the
terms of this Agreement. If, because of my mental or physical condition or for any other reason whatsoever, VWR is unable to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patent or copyright covering
Inventions assigned to VWR as stated above, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint VWR and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for me and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such
applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of U.S. and foreign patents and copyrights thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I will testify at VWR’s request and
expense in any interference, litigation, or other legal proceeding that may arise during or after my employment. 

  

	9.	 Third Party Information. I recognize that VWR has received and will receive confidential or proprietary information from third parties
subject to a duty on VWR’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. This information shall be deemed not to include shall not include any information that is or becomes publicly
known or that enters the public domain other than as a result of my breach of my obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between me and VWR or its affiliates. During the term of my employment and thereafter I will not disclose nor
use such information for the benefit of anyone other than VWR or such third party, or in any manner inconsistent with any agreement between VWR and such third party of which I am made aware, except as is required by law, any court of competent
jurisdiction or any governmental agency or authority or recognized subpoena power. 

  

	10.	 Termination. I acknowledge that this Agreement shall not constitute a contract for employment for any specific period of time, and that
either VWR or I am free to terminate this Agreement, and employment relationship, “at will,” at any time, with or without cause. I agree that upon termination of this Agreement and my employment, for any or no reason, I will promptly
return to VWR all records of Confidential Information, including copies in my possession, and all other physical properties issued to me as an employee, in a reasonable state of function or repair. I will also so return any keys, pass cards,
identification cards or other property belonging to VWR. 

  

	11.	 Non-Waiver. The failure by VWR to enforce any of the provisions hereof upon any default by me at a particular time or under certain
circumstances shall not be treated as a permanent waiver of such provisions and shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of such provisions upon default by either party. 

 

	12.	 Irreparable Harm. I agree that any proven breach of this Agreement by me would cause irreparable harm to VWR for which monetary damages could
not adequately compensate. If VWR proves a breach, irreparable harm shall be presumed and I expressly waive any bonding requirement as a prerequisite to VWR obtaining injunctive relief. VWR can also seek damages. 

  
 3 

	13.	 Assignability of This Agreement. The services contracted for between VWR and me in this Agreement are personal, and therefore I may not
assign this Agreement to any other person or entity. This Agreement may, however, be assigned by VWR to a successor to the business of VWR. 

  

	14.	 Severability. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by local, state,
and/or federal law in the jurisdiction in which performance of this Agreement occurs, or in which performance of this Agreement is sought to be enforced. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that one or more provisions of
this Agreement are not enforceable under the provisions of the jurisdiction in which performance occurs or enforcement is sought, such a determination shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.

  

	15.	 Other Agreements. This Agreement, together with the letter agreement, dated June 29, 2007, between me and VWR (the “Letter
Agreement”), sets forth the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements, whether oral, written, or implied, entered into by me and VWR, pertaining to my employment, the
terms, conditions, and responsibilities thereof, and/or any other subject matter contained in this Agreement or the Letter Agreement. This Agreement and the Letter Agreement shall be considered together as one agreement. There will be no
modification of this Agreement, either verbal, implied, written, or otherwise, except through a written agreement signed by me, and an officer of VWR, which refers to the specific paragraph of this Agreement intended to be modified, and sets forth,
in writing, the specific modification of said paragraph.

 Annex 1—Employee Covenants 

1. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. You acknowledge that in the course of your employment with VWR or any of its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates you will become familiar with VWR’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning VWR and such Subsidiaries and Affiliates and that your services will be of
special, unique and extraordinary value to VWR and such Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Therefore, you agree that: 

(a) Noncompetition. During the Employment Period and for a period of twelve months thereafter, you shall not
directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world, own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for or enter into employment with any distributor with annual sales revenue exceeding $200,000,000 in the laboratory supplies industry
(the “Business”). Nothing herein shall prohibit you from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as you have no active participation in the
business of such corporation. 
 (b) Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Period and for a period of
eighteen months thereafter, you shall not directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to leave the employ of VWR or any such Subsidiary or Affiliate, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates within 180 days after a Separation,
(iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to cease doing business with VWR or such Subsidiary or Affiliate or in any way interfere with the
relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (iv) directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business relating to the Business
and with which VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates has entertained discussions relating to the acquisition of such business by VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the twelve month period immediately preceding a Separation.

 (c) Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 1 or 2, a court holds
that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period,
scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because your services are unique and because you have access to confidential information,
the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Annex 1. Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this Annex 1, VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their
successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of,
the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). 
 (d) Additional Acknowledgments. You
acknowledge that the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 are in consideration of: (i) employment with VWR or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and (ii) additional good and valuable consideration, including the payment of salary and
bonus, as set forth in this letter agreement. In addition, you agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Sections 1 and 2 do not preclude you from earning a livelihood, 

 nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on your ability to earn a living. In addition,
you acknowledge (A) that the business of VWR and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be conducted throughout the world, (B) notwithstanding the state of incorporation or principal office of VWR or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or
any of their respective executives or employees (including you), it is expected that VWR and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within its industry throughout the world, and
(C) as part of your responsibilities, you will be traveling throughout the world in furtherance of VWR’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ business and relationships. You agree and acknowledge that the potential harm to
VWR and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the non-enforcement of Sections 1 and 2 outweighs any potential harm to you of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. You acknowledge that you have carefully read this Annex
1 and have given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon you by this Annex 1, and are in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of VWR and any of
its Subsidiaries and Affiliates now existing or to be developed in the future. You expressly acknowledge and agree that each and every restraint imposed by this Annex 1 is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and
geographical area.

 3. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Applicable Law. This Annex 1 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the

immediately preceding sentence. You irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Annex 1 or the transactions contemplated hereby in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania or the state courts of the State of Pennsylvania and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (c) Additional Agreements. The provisions of
this Annex 1 are in addition, and do not supersede, the provisions of the Personal Services, Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement between you and VWR. 

(d) MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY
AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE
LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT (INCLUDING VWR) HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO
RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE
RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER.

 Annex 2—General Release 

I, George Van Kula, in consideration of and subject to the performance by VWR Management Services LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (together with its affiliates, the “Company”), of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2010 (the “Agreement”), do hereby release and forever discharge as of
the date hereof the Company and all present and former directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees, successors and assigns of the Company and the Company’s direct or indirect owners (collectively, the “Released
Parties”) to the extent provided below. 
  

	1.	 I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under the “Severance/Restrictive Covenants” section of the Agreement
represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in the
“Severance/Restrictive Covenants” section of the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release. I also acknowledge and
represent that I have received all payments and benefits that I am entitled to receive (as of the date hereof) by virtue of any employment by the Company. 

 

	2.	 Except as provided in paragraph 4 below and except for the provisions of my Employment Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my
employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions,
causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in
equity, both past and present (through the date this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs,
executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans

law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including
attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”). 

  

	3.	 I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.

	4.	 I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action
(including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967). 

  

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

  

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

  

	7.	 I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General
Release or this Agreement, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the parties (and each affiliate and person acting on behalf of any such party) agree that each party (and each employee, representative, and other agent of such party) may disclose to any and
all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of this transaction contemplated in the Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party or such
person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws. This authorization is not intended to permit disclosure of any other information including
(without limitation) (i) any portion of any materials to the extent not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of this transaction, (ii) the identities of participants or potential participants in the Agreement, (iii) any
financial information (except to the extent such information is related to the tax treatment or tax structure of this transaction), or (iv) any other term or detail not relevant to the tax treatment or the tax structure of this transaction.

  

	8.	 Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this
General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.

  
 2 

	9.	 Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any
rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.

but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or
any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
