AGREEMENT 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

ARTICLE 1 

DEFINITIONS 

Section 1.1    Relation to Base Indenture. 

This Supplemental Indenture constitutes an integral part of the Base Indenture, and supplements and amends the Base Indenture solely with
respect to the Notes. To the extent there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Supplemental Indenture and the terms of the Base Indenture, the terms of this Supplemental Indenture shall control.

Supplemental Indenture has the same meaning throughout;

use of any gender includes each other gender;

interpretation; and

Supplemental Indenture.

successor publication which is published by the Federal Reserve Board as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) as of any date of determination, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion. If no calculation is provided as described above,
then the calculation agent, after consulting such 

  
 -2- 

 
sources as it deems comparable to any of the foregoing calculations, or any such source as it deems reasonable from which to estimate the five-year treasury rate, shall determine the Five-Year
Treasury Rate in its sole discretion, provided that if the calculation agent determines there is an industry-accepted successor Five-Year Treasury Rate, then the calculation agent shall use such successor rate. If the calculation agent has
determined a substitute or successor base rate in accordance with the foregoing, the calculation agent in its sole discretion may determine the business day convention, the definition of business day and the reset dividend determination date to be
used and any other relevant methodology for calculating such substitute or successor base rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such substitute or successor base rate comparable to the Five-Year Treasury Rate, in a manner that is
consistent with industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor base rate.

of Directors; provided that if the Federal Reserve Board (or other competent regulatory agency or authority) notifies the Company that the Company’s bank subsidiary that is a principal subsidiary bank applying the tests in clause (i) or
(ii) above does not qualify as a “major subsidiary depository institution” within the requirements of the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital rules applicable to bank holding companies, such bank subsidiary will not be a
“Principal Subsidiary Bank” from and after the time we receive from the Federal Reserve Board such a notice. As of the date hereof, Texas Capital Bank, N.A., is the sole Principal Subsidiary Bank. 

  
 -3-

	 	(c)	 similar obligations arising from off-balance sheet guarantees and
direct credit substitutes; 

  

	 	(d)	 reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or similar facilities;

  

	 	(e)	 obligations issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (but excluding trade
accounts payable or accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business); 

  

	 	(f)	 capital lease obligations; 

 

	 	(g)	 obligations associated with derivative products including but not limited to securities contracts, foreign
currency exchange contracts, swap agreements (including interest rate and foreign exchange rate swap agreements), cap agreements, floor agreements, collar agreements, interest rate agreements, foreign exchange rate agreements, options, commodity
futures contracts, commodity option contracts and similar financial instruments; 

  

	 	(h)	 debt of others described in the preceding clauses that we have guaranteed or for which we are otherwise liable;

  

	 	(i)	 any deferrals, renewals or extensions of Senior Indebtedness; and 

 

	 	(j)	 obligations to other general creditors (within the meaning of the capital adequacy rules or regulations of the
Federal Reserve Board (or, as and if applicable, the capital adequacy rules or regulations of any successor appropriate federal banking agency)); 

unless, in any case, in the instrument creating or evidencing any such indebtedness or obligation, or pursuant to which the same is
outstanding, it is expressly provided that such indebtedness or obligation is not superior in right of payment to the Notes or to other debt that is 

  
 -4- 

 
pari passu with or subordinate to the Notes; provided, however, that Senior Indebtedness does not include: (i) the Company’s junior subordinated debentures or related guarantees
issued to the Company’s statutory trusts, (ii) the Company’s 6.50% subordinated notes due 2042 issued pursuant to the Base Indenture, or (iii) any indebtedness the terms of which expressly provide that such indebtedness ranks
equally with, or junior to, the Notes, including guarantees of such indebtedness. 
 “Tax Event” means the receipt by the
Company of an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that as a result of: 
 (a)    an amendment to or change
(including any announced prospective amendment or change) in any law or treaty, or any regulation thereunder, of the United States or any of its political subdivisions or taxing authorities; 

(b)    a judicial decision, administrative action, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure,
regulation, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an “administrative or judicial action”); or 

(c)    an amendment to or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or
judicial action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation; 
 in each case,
which change or amendment becomes effective or which administrative or judicial action is announced on or after the Issue Date, with respect to which there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest payable by the Company on the Notes is not,
or, within 90 days of the date of such opinion, will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes. 

“Tier 2 Capital Event” means the Company’s good faith determination that, as a result of: 

(a)    any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or regulations of the United States (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, any agency or instrumentality of the United States, including the Federal Reserve Board and other federal bank regulatory agencies) or any political subdivision of or in the United States that is enacted or becomes effective after the
Issue Date; 
 (b)    any proposed change in those laws, rules or regulations that is announced or becomes effective
after the Issue Date; or 
 (c)    any official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or
other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, rules, regulations, policies or guidelines with respect thereto that is announced after the Issue Date; 

in each case, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company will not be entitled to treat the Notes then outstanding as “Tier
2 Capital” (or its equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy rules or regulations of the Federal Reserve Board (or, as and if applicable, the capital adequacy rules or regulations of any successor appropriate federal banking agency) as
then in effect and applicable to the Company, for so long as any Notes are outstanding. 

  
 -5- 

 The terms “Company,” “Trustee,”
“Indenture” and “Base Indenture” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the paragraph preceding the recitals to this Supplemental Indenture. 

ARTICLE 2 

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES 

Section 2.1    Designation and Principal Amount. 

There is hereby authorized a series of Debt Securities designated the “4.000% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031,” initially offered in the aggregate principal amount of $375,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Base Indenture. 
 Section 2.2    Maturity. 

Unless earlier redeemed pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Supplemental Indenture, the date upon which the Notes shall become due and
payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is the Maturity Date. 

Section 2.3    Form, Payment and Appointment. 

(a)    Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other
than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and
interest then due. 
 (b)    No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes,
but the Company may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 

(c)    The Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Registrar for the Notes shall initially be the Trustee. 

(d)    The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depository with
respect to the Global Notes. The Trustee shall act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
 (e)    The Notes
shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof in book-entry form only. 

  
 -6- 

 Section 2.4    Global Notes. 

The Notes shall be represented by a permanent global certificate (collectively, the “Global Notes”) deposited with, or on
behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co. Unless and until certificated notes are issued under the limited circumstances described in the Indenture or this Section 2.4, no Holder shall be entitled to receive a definitive
certificate representing the Notes. So long as DTC or any successor depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of the Global Note, DTC or any successor depositary, or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered to be the sole owner
or holder of the notes for all purposes of the Indenture. Beneficial interests in the Global Note will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in
DTC. Investors may elect to hold interests in the Global Note through DTC either directly if they are participants in DTC or indirectly through organizations that are participants in DTC. In connection with any proposed transfer outside the book
entry only system, there shall be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal
Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on the information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. 

Section 2.5    Interest. 

(a)    Interest on the Notes will accrue (i) during the period from and including the Issue Date, to, but excluding,
the Reset Date, or to, but excluding, the date of earlier redemption, at a fixed rate of 4.000% per annum and (ii) during the period from and including the Reset Date, to, but excluding, the Maturity Date, or to, but excluding, the date of
earlier redemption, at a rate per annum that will be the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the Reset Determination Date plus 3.150% per annum. Interest will be payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 6 and November 6 of each year,
commencing on November 6, 2021. Each such date on which interest is payable is an “Interest Payment Date.” 

(b)    Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months. If any scheduled Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company shall postpone the interest payment to the next succeeding Business Day, but the payment made
on such date will be treated as having been made on the date that the payment was first due, and the Holders of the Notes will not be entitled to any further interest or other payments with respect to such postponement. 

(c)    The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Indenture and the Notes, including
but not limited to determination of interest, redemption price, premium, if any, and any other amounts payable on the Notes. The Company shall make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding
on the Holders. The Company shall provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent
verification. The Trustee shall forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder upon the written request of such Holder. The Trustee, acting in any capacity hereunder, shall have no liability or responsibility for making any calculation called
for under the Indenture or the Notes, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification thereof. 

  
 -7- 

 (d)    Unless the Company has delivered a notice of redemption for all
outstanding Notes, with such redemption to occur on the Reset Date, the Company shall appoint a calculation agent with respect to the Notes prior to the Reset Determination Date, which calculation agent may be the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company. The Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate will be determined by the calculation agent on the Reset Determination Date. Promptly upon such determination, the calculation agent will notify the Company of the interest rate from and after the Reset
Date. The Company shall then promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such interest rate. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the calculation agent hereunder, including any determination with respect to a rate, will be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the calculation agent’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, shall become effective without consent from any other party. The calculation
agent’s determination of any interest rate will be on file at the Company’s principal offices, will be made available to any Holder upon request, and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Trustee or any Paying
Agent will have no obligation to be named as calculation agent. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF THE NOTES 

Section 3.1    No Sinking Fund. 

The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. Sections 3.06 and 3.07 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. 

Section 3.2    Optional Redemption and Regulatory Event Redemption. 

(a)    On at least 30 days but no more than 60 days prior written notice delivered to the Holders, the Company may redeem
the Notes in whole or in part, commencing (i) on the Reset Date, but not prior thereto (except upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 3.2 (b)), and on any interest payment date thereafter, or (ii) at any time during
the three-month period prior to the Maturity Date, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. If
fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with 3.03 of the Base Indenture. 

(b)    The Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that on at least 30 days but no more
than 60 days prior written notice delivered to the Holders, the Company may also, at its option and subject to any prior required approval of the Federal Reserve Board, redeem the Notes, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, within 90 days of the occurrence of a Tax Event, Tier 2 Capital Event or a 1940 Act Event. 

  
 -8- 

 (c)    Prior to giving any notice to the Holders pursuant to
Section 3.2(b), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that (i) a Tax Event, Tier 2 Capital Event or a 1940 Act Event has occurred and (ii) the Company is entitled
to redeem the Notes in accordance with Section 3.2(b), and the Trustee may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate. 

(d)    If the Company elects to have the Trustee deliver the notice of redemption on the Company’s behalf, then the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee no fewer than 15 days prior to the date such redemption notice is to be delivered (unless the Trustee agrees to a shorter period) an Officer’s Certificate providing such direction and setting forth
the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture. Any partial redemption will be made in accordance with the DTC’s applicable procedures among all of the Holders. If any Note is to be redeemed
in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall calculate the redemption price as described in the terms of the Notes to be redeemed and will
deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the redemption price and showing the calculation of such in reasonable detail no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, and the Trustee will not be responsible
for such calculation nor shall the Trustee have any duty to monitor the accuracy of any calculations made by the Company, which will be conclusive and binding on the Holders, absent manifest error. A replacement Note in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. The Notes are not subject to redemption or prepayment at the option of the Holders. 

(e)    Any redemption of the Notes will be subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board in accordance with
the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital regulations. 
 (f)    In addition to the Company’s right to
redeem the Notes as set forth above in this Section 3.2, the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in open market transactions, tender offers or otherwise, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, to
the extent such approval is then required. 
 Section 3.3    Effect of Redemption. 

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, (a) interest shall cease to accrue
on the Notes immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, (b) the Notes shall become due and payable at the redemption price and (c) the Notes shall be void and all rights of the Holders in respect of the Notes shall
terminate and lapse (other than the right to receive the redemption price upon surrender of such Notes but without interest on such redemption price). Following the notice of a redemption, neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to
register the transfer of or exchange the Notes to be redeemed. 
 Section 3.4    Redemption Procedures. 

On or prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if
the Company is acting as its own 

  
 -9- 

 
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on,
all the Notes that are to be redeemed on that date. If the Company gives an irrevocable notice of redemption with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Supplemental Indenture in connection with an optional redemption, and the
Company has deposited with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed, then, on the Redemption Date, the Paying Agent shall irrevocably deposit such funds with the Depository. The Company shall also give
the Trustee irrevocable instructions and authority to instruct the Depository to pay the redemption price in immediately available funds to the Holders of beneficial interests in the Global Notes. If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, then
the redemption price shall be payable on the next Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). Interest to be paid on or before the Redemption Date for any Notes called for redemption shall be payable to the
Holders on the Regular Record Date for the related Interest Payment Dates. If any Notes called for redemption are not so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the redemption price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at
the Coupon Rate then in effect. 
 Section 3.5    No Other Redemption. 

Except as set forth in this Article 3, the Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the Maturity Date. 

ARTICLE 4 
 FORM
OF NOTE 
 Section 4.1    Form of Note. 

The Notes and the Authenticating Agent’s Certificate of Authentication to be endorsed thereon are to be substantially in the forms
attached as Exhibit A hereto, with such changes therein as the officers of the Company executing the Notes (by manual or facsimile signature) may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof. 

ARTICLE 5 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 5.1    Events of Default. This Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 shall replace
Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only. 
 Each of the following is an “Event of Default”
with respect to the Notes (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body): 
  

	 	(i)	 the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, 

 

	 	(a)	 commences a voluntary case, 

  
 -10- 

	 	(b)	 consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

 

	 	(c)	 consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

  

	 	(d)	 makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

 

	 	(ii)	 a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

  

	 	(a)	 is for relief against the Company as debtor in an involuntary case and such decree or order shall remain
unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, 

  

	 	(b)	 appoints a Custodian of the Company or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company,
or 

  

	 	(c)	 orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period
of 60 consecutive days; or 

  

	 	(iii)	 a receivership of a Principal Subsidiary Bank under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, or other
applicable law. 

 Section 5.2    Acceleration of Maturity. 

If an Event of Default occurs, the principal amount of all the Notes and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
thereon, shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 

A default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or in the Company’s
non-performance of any other obligation under the Notes of the Indenture will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture and will not give rise to any right of acceleration. 

At any time after such an acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due
has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in Article VI of the Base Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration
and its consequences if (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on all Notes, (B) the principal of or premium (if any) on any Notes which have become due otherwise than
by such acceleration and interest thereon, and (C) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture, together with any compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances due to the Trustee under the Indenture; (2) all Events of
Default with respect to the Notes have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture; and (3) the rescission would not conflict with any final judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 Section 5.3    Default in Payment. 

In the case of a default (not constituting an Event of Default) in the payment of interest or principal, or premium, if any, which failure to
pay continues for 30 days, the Company shall, upon the demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, the amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal, and premium, if any, and interest and, to the extent that
payment of such interest is legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal, and premium, if any, and on any overdue interest. 
 If
a Default with respect to Notes (other than a Default constituting an Event of Default) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Indenture or the Notes or in aid of the exercise of any power granted therein, or
to enforce any other proper remedy.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to issue additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.05 of
the Base Indenture with terms and conditions substantially identical to those of the Notes issued on the Issue Date (except

the occurrence of certain events specified below), and on any interest payment date thereafter, or (ii) at any time during the three month period prior to the Maturity Date, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Supplemental Indenture. 

The Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to their maturity date, except that the Company may also, at its option and subject to any prior
required approval of the Federal Reserve Board, redeem the Notes, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption

thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, Security Registrar or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

Mr.  Jon Vander Ark
Republic Services, Inc.
18500 N. Allied Way
Phoenix, AZ 85054

Dear Jon,

Congratulations!   We are very pleased to inform you of your election to the position of Chief Executive Officer of Republic Services, Inc. (“Republic” or “Company”).  Your election will be effective June 25, 2021 (“Effective Date”), at which point your employment will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this offer letter and governed by Republic’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and the policies of the Company, as may be amended from time to time.

You will retain the title of President, though the Board may, in its discretion, designate someone other than you to serve as President, reporting to you.  In addition, as of the Effective Date, you will be elected as a member of the Board.

As Chief Executive Officer and President, you will work full time and perform your duties honestly, diligently, in good faith, and in the best interests of Republic. You also will use your best efforts to promote the interests of Republic. 

This letter highlights the basic components of your compensation and benefits.  It is not intended to be a comprehensive description of all benefits available to you or to provide the details of the plans that govern the administration of compensation, equity, and benefits, as our offerings change periodically.   Your compensation and benefits will be established by the Management Development & Compensation Committee (“MD&C Committee”) and are typically reviewed annually.  Compensation will be established based on a number of factors including but not limited to: 1) Republic’s financial and operating performance and the Company’s overall performance against its strategy and agreed priorities; 2) your individual performance as CEO; 3) good compensation governance practices for a large public company; 4) CEO compensation market factors impacting compensation for CEOs in similar scoped positions and with similar tenure; 5) the applicable terms of the Republic benefit and compensation plans you participate in unless explicitly agreed and formally approved by MD&C Committee; and 6) other factors as the Board or the MD&C Committee feel appropriate.

Beginning on the Effective Date, your annualized run rate compensation as CEO will be $7,015,000 at target, comprised of the following:

Base Salary:  As of the Effective Date, your annual rate of Base Salary will be $1,000,000 for 2021, less applicable deductions and withholdings.  Thereafter, the MD&C Committee will determine and set your annual compensation as described here and below.

Annual Cash Incentive:  You will continue to be eligible to participate in the Annual Cash Incentive award provisions of Republic’s Executive Incentive Plan (“EIP”), or any successor or similar plan maintained by Republic for the benefit of executive officers, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans and at the discretion of and subject to approval by the MD&C Committee.  Your award target for the 2021 Annual Cash Incentive has been set by the MD&C Committee to be 135% of your post-Effective Date Base Salary. The calculation of your 2021 Annual Cash Incentive will be prorated so that your annual target in effect before the Effective Date will be applied to your base salary before the Effective Date, and your annual target determined as of the Effective Date will be applied to your Base Salary (as set forth above) on and after the Effective Date.

Equity-Based Awards:  You will continue to be eligible to participate in Republic’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Plan”), or any successor or similar plan maintained by Republic for the benefit of executive officers, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans and the applicable award agreements.  All awards under the Stock Plan are at the discretion of and subject to approval by the M&DC Committee or any authorized designee of the MD&C Committee.  

The MD&C Committee has approved, under the Long-Term Incentive award provisions of the EIP, (1) a Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) award with a grant date fair value of approximately $400,000 and (2) a Performance Unit award for the three-year 

period performance cycle (2021-2023) with a grant date fair market value of approximately $850,000.  This is in addition to the $3,415,000 award you already received in your role as President for 2021.  Thereafter, the MD&C Committee will determine and approve your future Long-Term incentive as a component of your overall compensation. 

All RSU grants in 2021 will vest in 25% increments on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the grant date and are governed by the provisions of the Stock Plan and applicable award agreement.   

Stock Ownership Guidelines:  As Chief Executive Officer and President, you are expected to obtain within five (5) years from the Effective Date and thereafter maintain ownership of Republic common stock having the minimum value equal to five (5) times Base Salary or such other amount as set from time to time by the Board.  As a courtesy, you should notify the Board Chairman and MD&C Committee Chair any time you sell Republic equity.

Deferred Compensation Plan:  You will continue to be eligible to participate in Republic’s Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”), including, without limitation, eligibility to receive any discretionary contribution that Republic elects to make to the DCP on your behalf.  For 2022, it is anticipated that the Committee will approve a discretionary contribution to the DCP on your behalf in the amount of $100,000. 

Paid Time Off:  Paid Time Off will continue to be accrued and used in accordance with Republic’s PTO policy applicable to similarly-situated employees.  You will not be entitled to a payout of accrued but unused PTO when your employment ends for any reason (unless required by law).

Benefits:  You will continue to be eligible to participate in all of Republic’s benefit plans for similarly-situated employees.  Unless otherwise specified in this letter, your eligibility for any benefits will be in accordance with Republic’s then-current plans, policies, and programs for similarly-situated employees.

Non-Business Use of Corporate Aircraft:  It is the intention of the Board that you will have access and use of the Corporate Aircraft as set forth in Republic’s Corporate Aircraft Policy AIR-101, as may be amended from time to time, subject to a limit on your non-business use of the Corporate Aircraft of 125 hours per year.  Any non-business use above the limit would require advanced approval by the Chair of the MD&C Committee or the Chair of the Board.

Executive Separation Policy:  While we hope that you will continue to have a long, successful and rewarding career with Republic, this offer is for “at will” employment, meaning that either you or Republic may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason. Should your employment with Republic terminate at any time while you are employed in the position of Chief Executive Officer and President, your eligibility for separation benefits will be governed by Republic’s then applicable Executive Separation Policy, except as provided below upon a termination of your employment by Republic without cause.  For termination without cause, Republic will provide you with an amount equal to two (2) years of your then-current base salary, plus two (2) times your target annual bonus, paid in equal bi-weekly installments over a twenty-four (24) month period (and not the salary and pro-rated annual bonus referenced in the Executive Separation Policy).  

Indemnification:  You will be indemnified during your employment and after the end of your employment in accordance with the provisions of Republic’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Other Terms and Conditions 

As a condition of your employment as Chief Executive Officer and President, you are required to sign a Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality and Arbitration Agreement, which is enclosed with this letter.

Jon, we are excited to have you assume the position of Chief Executive Officer and look forward to working with you in your new role.  Please indicate your acceptance of this offer by countersigning this letter and returning the original to Catharine Ellingsen.  As always, please contact me if you have questions.

Sincerely,
