court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s willful fraud. 
 (b) Without in any way limiting the foregoing Section 2(a), each of the Indemnifying Parties agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Obligations resulting from,
arising out of or in connection with, based upon or relating to liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable securities or other laws, rules or regulations in connection with (i) the inaccuracy or breach

 8 

 
such Obligation arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission made in such Related Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company
Entities, as the case may be, in an instrument duly executed by such Indemnitee and specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such Related Document. 
 (c) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Proceeding is initiated by an Indemnitee or any member of the Company Group to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any rights of such
Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses (or related Obligations of such Indemnitee) under any member of the Company Group’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any other agreement to which Indemnitee and any member of the
Company Group are party, any vote of directors of any member of the Company Group, the Delaware General Corporation Law, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy, the Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify such Indemnitee against all
costs and Expenses incurred by such Indemnitee or on such Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee is successful in such Proceeding, except to the extent that the Person presiding over such
Proceeding determines that (i) material assertions made by such Indemnitee in such Proceeding were in bad faith or were frivolous or (ii) as a matter of applicable law, such Expenses must be limited in proportion to the
success achieved by such Indemnitee in such Proceeding and the efforts required to obtain that success, as determined by such presiding Person. 
 3. Contribution. 
 (a) If for any reason any Indemnifying Party is
prohibited from fully indemnifying any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such
Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, in connection with the state of facts giving rise to such
Obligation, (ii) if such Obligation results from, arises out of, is based upon or relates to the Transactions or any Offering, the relative benefits received by each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on
the other, from such Transaction or Offering and (iii) if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (b) If for any reason the indemnity specifically provided for in Section 2(b) is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity,
then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of each of the
members of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, in

  

 9 

 
connection with the information contained in or omitted from any Related Document, which inclusion or omission resulted in the actual or alleged inaccuracy or breach of or default under any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement therein, or which information is or is alleged to be untrue, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the relative benefits received by
the members of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or Offering and (iii) if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (c) For purposes of Section 3(a), the relative fault of each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and of an Indemnitee, on the
other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, their respective relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct the state of facts giving rise to such Obligation. For purposes of Section 3(b), the
relative fault of each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and of an Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, (i) whether the included or omitted information relates to information
supplied by the members of the Company Group, on the one hand, or by such Indemnitee, on the other, (ii) their respective relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct such inaccuracy, breach, default,
untrue or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, and (iii) applicable law. For purposes of Section 3(a) or 3(b), the relative benefits received by each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and an
Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by weighing the direct monetary proceeds to the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or Offering. 
 (d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b)
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in such respective Section. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under Section 3(a) or 3(b),
as applicable, for contribution to the amount paid or payable by any Indemnitee except to the extent and under such circumstances such Indemnifying Party would have been liable to indemnify, defend and hold harmless such Indemnitee under the
corresponding Section 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, if such indemnity were enforceable under applicable law. No Indemnitee shall be entitled to contribution from any Indemnifying Party with respect to any Obligation covered by the indemnity
specifically provided for in Section 2(b) in the event that such Indemnitee is finally determined to be guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such Obligation
and the Indemnifying Parties are not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  

 10 

 4. Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) Whenever any Indemnitee shall have actual knowledge of the assertion of a Claim against it, CMH (acting on its own behalf or, if
requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such Indemnitee) or such Indemnitee shall notify the appropriate member of the Company Group in writing of the Claim (a “Notice of Claim”) with reasonable promptness
after such Indemnitee has such knowledge relating to such Claim and has notified CMH thereof; provided the failure or delay of CMH or such Indemnitee to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its indemnification
obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual notice to it and it is materially injured as a result of the failure to give such Notice of Claim. The Notice of Claim shall specify all material
facts known to CMH (or if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) relating to such Claim and the monetary amount or an estimate of the monetary amount of the Obligation involved if CMH (or if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) has
knowledge of such amount or a reasonable basis for making such an estimate. The Indemnifying Parties shall, at their expense, undertake the defense of such Claim with attorneys of their own choosing reasonably satisfactory in all respects to CMH,
subject to the right of CMH to undertake such defense as hereinafter provided. CMH may participate in such defense with counsel of CMH’s choosing at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Parties do not
undertake the defense of the Claim within a reasonable time after CMH (or if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) has given the Notice of Claim, or in the event that CMH shall in good faith determine that the defense of any Claim by the
Indemnifying Parties is inadequate or may conflict with the interest of any Indemnitee (including, without limitation, Claims brought by or on behalf of any member of the Company Group), CMH may, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties and after
giving notice to the Indemnifying Parties of such action, undertake the defense of the Claim and compromise or settle the Claim, all for the account of and at the risk of the Indemnifying Parties. In the defense of any Claim against an Indemnitee,
no Indemnifying Party shall, except with the prior written consent of CMH, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that includes any injunctive or other non-monetary relief or any payment of money by such Indemnitee, or that
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such Claim to such Indemnitee of an unconditional release from all liability on any of the matters that are the subject of such Claim and an
acknowledgement that such Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Claim if such settlement is effected by
such Indemnitee without the prior consent of the Company (on behalf of all Indemnifying Parties), which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In each case, CMH and each other Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder will cooperate with
the Indemnifying Parties, so long as an Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Claim, in the preparation for and the prosecution of the defense of such Claim, including

  

 11 

 
making available evidence within the control of CMH or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, and persons needed as witnesses who are employed by CMH or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, in each
case as reasonably needed for such defense and at cost, which cost, to the extent reasonably incurred, shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties. 
 (b) CMH shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the amount requested for advances (a “Notice of Advances”). Each of the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, agrees to
advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by CMH (acting on its own behalf or, if requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such Indemnitee) or any Indemnitee in connection with any Claim (but not for any Claim initiated or
brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee other than a Proceeding pursuant to Section 2(c)) in advance of the final disposition of such Claim without regard to whether Indemnitee will ultimately be entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of CMH or such Indemnitee to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately and finally be determined, including through all challenges, if any, to the award rendered therein, that CMH or such Indemnitee
is not entitled to be indemnified by any Indemnifying Party as authorized by this Agreement. Such repayment undertaking shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest. No Indemnifying Party shall impose on any Indemnitee additional conditions to
advancement or require from such Indemnitee additional undertakings regarding repayment. The Indemnifying Parties shall make payment of such advances no later than 10 days after the receipt of the Notice of Advances. 
 (c) CMH shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the amount of any Claim actually paid by CMH or any Indemnitee on whose behalf
CMH is acting (a “Notice of Payment”). The amount of any Claim actually paid by CMH or such Indemnitee shall bear simple interest at the rate equal to the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. prime rate as of the date of such payment plus
2% per annum, from the date any Indemnifying Party receives the Notice of Payment to the date on which any Indemnifying Party shall repay the amount of such Claim plus interest thereon to CMH or such Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Parties shall
make indemnification payments to CMH no later than 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Payment. 
 (d) Determination.
The members of the Company Group intend that Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law as provided in Section 2 and that no Determination shall be required in connection with such indemnification. In no event shall
a Determination be required in connection with (i) indemnification of any Indemnitee other than a director or officer of the Company Group in connection with a Claim against such Indemnitee acting in such capacity (and then, only to the
extent required by applicable law), (ii) advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 4(b), (iii) indemnification for Expenses incurred as a witness, or (iv) any Claim or portion thereof with respect to which
an Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise. Any decision that a Determination is required by law in connection with any other indemnification of an Indemnitee, and any such Determination, shall be made within 30 days after receipt
of a Notice of Claim, as follows: 
 (i) except as provided under clause (ii) of this Section 4(d),
(x) by a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are designated pursuant to Sections 2.1(a)(iii) and (iv) of the Stockholders Agreement, even though less than a quorum, or (y) if there are no such directors, or
if such directors so direct, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnitee; and 
  

 12 

 (ii) if CMH and its Affiliates no longer have the right to appoint directors
pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iv) of the Stockholders Agreement, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Indemnifying Party (or its successor) and such Indemnitee. 
 The Indemnifying Parties shall pay all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any required Determination. 
 (e) Independent Legal Counsel. Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by a majority vote of the directors of the
Company who are designated pursuant to Sections 2.1(a)(iii) and (iv) of the Stockholders Agreement, even though less than a quorum, and approved by CMH or an Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided that if CMH and its Affiliates no longer have the right to appoint directors pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iv) of the Stockholders Agreement, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by CMH or an Indemnitee and approved by the
Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Parties shall pay the fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel and indemnify Independent Legal Counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities
and damages arising out of or relating to its engagement. 
 (f) Consequences of Determination; Remedies of
Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Parties shall be bound by and shall have no right to challenge a Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made, or if for any other reason any Indemnifying Party does not make timely indemnification
payments or advances of expenses, CMH or an Indemnitee shall have the right to commence a Proceeding to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require such Indemnifying Party to make such payments or advances. Indemnitee shall be entitled to
be indemnified for all Expenses incurred in connection with such a Proceeding in accordance with Section 2 and to have such Expenses advanced by the Company in accordance with Section 4(b). If CMH or an Indemnitee fails to timely challenge
an Adverse Determination, or if CMH or an Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and such Adverse Determination has been upheld by a final judgment in such Proceeding from which no appeal can be taken, then, to the extent and only to the
extent required by such Adverse Determination or final judgment, no Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify or advance Expenses to such Indemnitee under this Agreement. 
  

 13 

 (g) Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. In connection with any Determination,
or any review of any Determination, by any Person: 
 (i) It shall be a presumption that a Determination is not
required. 
 (ii) It shall be a presumption that an Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct and
that indemnification of such Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances. 
 (iii) The burden of proof shall be on
the Indemnifying Parties to overcome the presumptions set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and each such presumption shall only be overcome if the Indemnifying Parties establish that there is no reasonable basis to support it.

 (iv) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, finding, award, settlement (whether with or without
court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that indemnification is not proper or that an Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct or that
a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement or otherwise. 
 (v) Neither
the failure of any Person or Persons to have made a Determination nor an Adverse Determination by any Person or Persons shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard
of conduct, and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4(f) shall be de novo with respect to all determinations of fact and law. 
 5. Certain Covenants. The rights of each Indemnitee to be indemnified under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument, by-law, insurance policy or applicable law are independent of
and in addition to any rights of such Indemnitee to be indemnified under this Agreement, provided that to the extent that an Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement and by any other Indemnitee
under any other agreement, document, certificate, by-law or instrument, the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties hereunder shall be primary, and the obligations of such other Indemnitee secondary, and the Indemnifying Parties shall not be
entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against such other Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnitee may choose to seek indemnification from any potential source of indemnification

  

 14 

 
regardless of whether such indemnitor is primary or secondary. An Indemnitee’s election to seek advancement of indemnified sums from any secondary indemnifying party will not limit the right
of such Indemnitee, or any secondary indemnitor proceeding under subrogation rights or otherwise, from seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Parties to the extent that the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties are primary. The rights of
each Indemnitee and the obligations of each Indemnifying Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnitee. Following the Transactions, each of the Company Entities, and
each of their corporate successors, shall implement and maintain in full force and effect any and all corporate charter and by-law provisions that may be necessary or appropriate to enable it to carry out its obligations hereunder to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation a provision of its certificate of incorporation (or comparable organizational document under its jurisdiction of incorporation) eliminating liability of a director for breach of
fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as amended from time to time. So long as the Company or any other member of the Company Group maintains liability insurance for any directors, officers, employees or agents of any
such person, the Indemnifying Parties shall ensure that each Indemnitee serving in such capacity is covered by such insurance in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the
Company’s and the Company Group’s then current directors and officers. Further, after any Indemnitee no longer serves as an officer or director of the Company for any reason, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
continue to cover such Indemnitee as a named insured under the Company’s insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period of time that shall commence on the date of such termination and
end on the date that is the sooner of (a) six years after the date of such termination and (b) the date on which the Company ceases to maintain an insurance policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. No
Indemnifying Party shall seek or agree to any order of a court or other governmental authority that would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the performance of any of the Indemnifying Parties’ advancement, indemnification and other
obligations under this Agreement.

 7. Arbitration 
 (a) Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of,
relating to, or in connection with this contract, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be finally determined by
arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS. If the disputed claim or counterclaim exceeds $250,000, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS

  

 16 

 
Comprehensive Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration shall govern the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual written agreement of the parties. If no
disputed claim or counterclaim exceeds $250,000, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Streamlined Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration shall govern
the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual written agreement of the parties. 
 (b) The seat of the
arbitration shall be New York, New York. The parties submit to jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the State of New York for the limited purpose of enforcing this agreement to arbitrate. 
 (c) The arbitration shall be conducted by one neutral arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise. The parties agree to seek to reach
agreement on the identity of the arbitrator within 30 days after the initiation of arbitration. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on the identity of the arbitrator within such time, then the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made in
accordance with the process set forth in JAMS Comprehensive Rule 15. 
 (d) The arbitration award shall be in writing, state the
reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the parties. Subject to Section 2(c), the arbitrator may, in the award, allocate all or part of the fees incurred in and costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator and the
attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. Notwithstanding applicable state law, the arbitration and this
agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. 
 (e) The parties agree
that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions,
and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, JAMS, the parties, their counsel, accountants and auditors, insurers and re-insurers, and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding. The confidentiality obligations shall not
apply (i) if disclosure is required by law or applicable legal process, or in judicial or administrative proceedings, or (ii) as far as disclosure is necessary to enforce the rights arising out of the award. 
 8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation and effect, by the law of the
State of Delaware, regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws to the extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 
  

 17 

 9. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 10. Successors; Binding Effect. Each Indemnifying Party will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and assets of such Indemnifying Party, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to CMH and its counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
such Indemnifying Party would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns, and each other Indemnitee, but
neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder shall be assigned, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by the Company Entities without the prior written consent of CMH. Insofar as any Indemnitee transfers all or
substantially all of its assets to a third party, such third party shall thereupon be deemed an additional Indemnitee for all purposes of this Agreement, with the same effect as if it were a signatory to this Agreement in such capacity. 

11. Miscellaneous. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer any right or remedy hereunder upon any Person other than each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and each other Indemnitee
(each of whom is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement). No amendment, modification, supplement or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder shall be valid and binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the
party or other Indemnitee against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, supplement or discharge is sought. Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto or any other Indemnitee of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of
this Agreement, nor the failure by any party hereto or any other Indemnitee on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right, powers or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any
other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any provisions hereof, or any rights, powers or privileges hereunder. The rights, indemnities and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, indemnities
or remedies that any party or other Indemnitee may otherwise have by contract, at law or in equity or otherwise, provided that (i) to the extent that any Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by any member of the Company Group and by any
other Indemnitee or any insurer under a policy procured by any Indemnitee, the obligations of the members of the Company Group hereunder shall be primary and the obligations of such other

  

 18 

 
Indemnitee or insurer secondary, and (ii) no member of the Company Group shall be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against such other Indemnitee or
insurer. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 CONSULTING AGREEMENT 
 Clayton, Dubilier &
Rice, LLC 
 375 Park Avenue 
 18th Floor 
 New York, New York 10152 
 November 24, 2009 
 JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. 
 JohnsonDiversey, Inc. 
 8310 16th Street 
 Sturtevant, WI 53177 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This letter agreement serves to confirm the retention by JohnsonDiversey, Inc. (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”), of
Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC or any successor to its investment management business (“Manager”) to provide management, consulting, advisory and financial services to Parent, the Company and their divisions and subsidiaries
(collectively, the “Company Group”), as follows: 
 1. (a) The Company has retained us, and we hereby agree to
accept such retention, to provide to the Company Group, when and if called upon, certain management, consulting, advisory, monitoring and financial services of the type customarily performed by Manager and its affiliates, including any services
provided under Section 2.1(i) of the Stockholders Agreement (the “Consulting Services”). As compensation for the Consulting Services, commencing on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), the Company agrees to
pay Manager an annual fee (the “Advisory Fee”) in an amount equal to $5,000,000, payable in quarterly installments in advance at the beginning of each calendar quarter (except in the case of the initial Advisory Fee as provided in
the next succeeding sentence), subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth below. The initial Advisory Fee shall be pro rated to reflect the portion of the current fiscal year which has elapsed prior to the Effective Date and shall be
payable at the beginning of the first calendar quarter commencing after the date hereof (together with the quarterly installment for such quarter). 
 (b) If an employee of Manager or any of its affiliates is appointed to an executive management position (or a position of comparable responsibility) with the Company, then, for the period of such
employee’s service in such position, the Advisory Fee shall be increased by an amount to be agreed by Manager and the Company (by a majority vote of the directors of Parent who are designated pursuant to Sections 2.1(a)(iii) and (iv) of
the Stockholders Agreement, even though less than a quorum) but not to exceed 100% of the Advisory Fee then in effect. The Advisory Fee may otherwise be increased only by the Company (which increase will be deemed an “Affiliate
Transaction” for purposes of Article SIXTH of Parent’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation). The Advisory Fee may not be decreased without the prior written consent of Manager. 

 2. In addition to the Advisory Fee, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its
subsidiaries to, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Company Group (subject to paragraph 4), reimburse Manager and its affiliates and their respective employees and agents, from time to time upon request, for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred after the date hereof in the course of rendering the Consulting Services, including travel expenses and reasonable expenses of any legal, accounting or other professional advisors to Manager or its affiliates incurred
by Manager in the course of rendering the Consulting Services. Manager may submit monthly expense statements to the Company or any other member of the Company Group, which statements shall be payable within 30 days. Nothing in this paragraph 2 shall
limit any obligations of Parent or the Company to reimburse any costs and expenses to Manager, its subsidiaries or affiliates under the Investment and Recapitalization Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2009, among Parent, CDR Jaguar Investor
Company, LLC (“CD&R Investor”), Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (“CMH”) and SNW Co., Inc. (“SNW”), as the same may be amended from time to time, the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, among Parent, CD&R Investor, CDR F&F Jaguar Investor, LLC (“CD&R F&F Investor”), CMH, SNW and the other stockholders of Parent party thereto from time to time (as the same may be amended from time to time,
the “Stockholders Agreement”), the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, CD&R Investor, CD&R F&F Investor, CMH, SNW, Marga B.V. and the other stockholders of Parent party thereto from
time to time, as the same may be amended from time to time, or the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, the Company, Manager, CD&R Investor, CD&R F&F Investor, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VIII,
L.P., CD&R Friends & Family Fund VIII, L.P. and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Indemnification Agreement”). 
 3. (a) Each of Parent and the Company will, and will cause each member of the Company Group to, use its reasonable best efforts to furnish,
or to cause their respective subsidiaries and agents to furnish, Manager with such information (the “Information”) as Manager reasonably believes appropriate to its engagement hereunder. The Company acknowledges and agrees that
(i) Manager will rely on the Information and on information available from generally recognized public sources in performing the Consulting Services and (ii) none of Manager, its affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information and such other information. 
  

 2 

 (b) Each of Parent and the Company hereby consents to Manager sharing any information it
receives from the Company Group with any affiliates of Manager (other than other portfolio companies) and to the internal use by Manager and such affiliates of any information received from the Company Group, subject, however, to
(i) Manager maintaining adequate procedures to prevent such information from being used in connection with the purchase or sale of securities of the Company in violation of applicable law and (ii) the recipient of such
information being subject to an agreement (or being under a duty of trust or confidence) to use such information only for purposes of performing Consulting Services hereunder and to maintain such shared information in confidence. 
 4. Parent and the Company (on behalf of themselves and the other members of the Company Group) hereby acknowledge and agree that the
obligations of the Company under paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be borne jointly and severally by each member of the Company Group. If, at any time, no member of the Company Group is permitted to make any payment or reimbursement due to Manager under this
letter agreement under the terms of any credit agreement, indenture or other financing agreement to which any member of the Company Group is a party, such obligations shall accrue as provided herein, but payment or reimbursement thereof shall be
deferred until such time as (a) such payments are no longer prohibited under the terms of the applicable agreement, or (b) the amounts due thereunder are repaid in full. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, all
amounts due Manager under this Agreement shall be paid to Manager before any liquidating distributions or similar payments are made to stockholders of the Company. 
 5. Parent and the Company (on behalf of themselves and the other members of the Company Group) hereby acknowledge and agree that the Consulting Services provided by Manager hereunder are being provided
subject to the terms of this letter agreement (including, without limitation, paragraph 14) and the Indemnification Agreement. 
 6. Any advice or opinions provided by Manager or its affiliates may not be disclosed or referred to publicly or to any third party (other than to Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. or the Company Group’s legal, tax, financial or other
advisors), except in accordance with Manager’s prior written consent or if required by law or applicable legal process, or in judicial or administrative proceedings. 
 7. Manager shall act as an independent contractor, with duties solely to the Company Group. Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that Manager may, in its sole discretion, remove or substitute any
of the members of, or add members to, the team of professional employees of Manager and its affiliates that will be providing Consulting Services pursuant to this letter agreement, and that any such removal, substitution or addition shall not in any
way modify or affect any of the obligations of the Company Group hereunder, including, without limitation, its obligation to pay the Advisory Fee or reimburse any expenses. None of Manager and its affiliates and their respective employees and agents
shall, solely by virtue of this letter agreement or the arrangements hereunder, be considered employees or agents of any member of the Company Group, nor shall any of them have

  

 3 

 
authority hereunder to contract in the name of or bind any member of the Company Group, except (i) to the extent that any professional employee of Manager or any of its affiliates may be
serving as a director or an officer of any member of the Company Group or (ii) as expressly agreed to in writing by such member of the Company Group. 
 8. (a) This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such State and
without reference to the choice-of-law principles that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. 
 (b) Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this contract, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability
of this letter agreement to arbitrate, shall be finally determined by arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS. If the disputed claim or counterclaim exceeds $250,000, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, the JAMS
Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Comprehensive Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration shall govern the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual written agreement of the parties.
If no disputed claim or counterclaim exceeds $250,000, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Streamlined Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration shall
govern the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual written agreement of the parties. 
 (c) The seat of
the arbitration shall be New York, New York. The parties submit to jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the State of New York for the limited purpose of enforcing this agreement to arbitrate. 
 (d) The arbitration shall be conducted by one neutral arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise. The parties agree to seek to reach
agreement on the identity of the arbitrator within thirty days after the initiation of arbitration. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on the identity of the arbitrator within such time, then the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made
in accordance with the process set forth in JAMS Comprehensive Rule 15. 
 (e) The arbitration award shall be in writing, state
the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the parties. The arbitrator may, in the award, allocate all or part of the costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator and the attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party.
Judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. Notwithstanding applicable state law, the arbitration and this agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by
the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. 
  

 4 

 (f) The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence
of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, JAMS, the
parties, their counsel, accountants and auditors, insurers and re-insurers, and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding. The confidentiality obligations shall not apply (i) if disclosure is required by law or applicable
legal process, or in judicial or administrative proceedings, or (ii) as far as disclosure is necessary to enforce the rights arising out of the award. 
 9. All notices and other communications to be given to any party hereunder shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if in writing and delivered by hand, courier or overnight delivery
service, or three days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with appropriate postage prepaid, or when received in the form of a facsimile (receipt confirmation requested), and shall be directed to the address

 10. This letter agreement shall continue in effect until, and shall terminate upon, the
earlier to occur of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date hereof and (b) the date on which the CD&R Holders (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) cease to beneficially own at least 25% of the issued and outstanding
shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. At any time following a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), this letter agreement may be earlier terminated by the Company (following a determination of its Board of
Directors, and without the need for the Requisite Approval (as defined in Article SEVENTH of Parent’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation)) upon 12 months’ prior notice to Manager. In any event, this letter agreement
may be earlier terminated by Manager upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company. In the event of any termination of this letter agreement, the Company shall pay in cash to Manager any unpaid installment of the Advisory Fee and all
expenses due under this agreement with respect to periods prior to the termination date. 
 11. Each party hereto represents and
warrants that the execution and delivery of this letter agreement by such party has been duly authorized by all necessary action of such party. 
 12. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this letter agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this letter agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby
is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this letter agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a
mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that
renders any term or provision of this letter agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect. 
 13. It is expressly
understood that the foregoing paragraphs 2 (with respect to expenses incurred prior to such termination), 4-10 and 12-20, in their entirety, survive any termination of this agreement. 
  

 6 

 14. Except in cases of breach of this letter agreement, gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct, Manager shall have no liability of any kind whatsoever to any member of the Company Group for any damages, losses or expenses (including, without limitation, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages and interest, penalties
and fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, investment bankers and other professional advisors) with respect to the provision of Consulting Services hereunder and in no event shall any such liability be in excess of the fees received by
Manager hereunder. Each of Parent and the Company (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Company Group), by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no person other than Manager shall have any
obligation hereunder and that it has no rights of recovery hereunder against, and no recourse hereunder shall be had against, any former, current or future officer, agent, affiliate or employee of Manager (or any of their successors’ or
permitted assignees’), against any former, current or future general or limited partner, member or stockholder of Manager (or any of its successors’ or permitted assignees’) or any affiliate thereof or against any former, current or
future director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Manager Affiliates”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate
veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Company against the Manager Affiliates, by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, or
otherwise. 
 15. This letter agreement may not be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, other than in a
writing duly executed by the parties hereto. Any party hereto may waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this letter agreement with respect to itself for any purpose. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the
specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. This letter agreement, together with the Stockholders Agreement and Indemnification
Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among Manager, Parent and the Company with respect to the subject matter of this letter agreement and supersede any prior discussions, correspondence, negotiation, proposed term sheet, agreement,
understanding or arrangement, and there are no agreements or understandings between the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof other than those set forth or referred to in this letter agreement. Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree
that, other than as set forth in paragraph 11, Manager makes no representations or warranties in connection with this letter agreement or its provision of services pursuant hereto. Parent and the Company agree that any acknowledgment or agreement
