DIRECTOR INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of [●], 2015, between Univar Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and [●] (“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, qualified persons are reluctant to serve
corporations as directors or otherwise unless they are provided with appropriate indemnification and insurance against claims arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporations; and 

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that attracting and retaining such persons is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and
that it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to provide reasonable assurance regarding insurance; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows: 

1. Defined Terms; Construction. 

(a) Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“Change in Control” means, and shall be deemed to have occurred if, on or after the date of this Agreement,
(i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than (A) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries acting in such capacity, or (B) a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock
of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the Company’s
then outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) during any period of two consecutive years commencing from and after the date hereof; individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors (the
“Board”) of the Company and any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in
office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, (iii) the stockholders of the Company
approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent
(either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total 

 
voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (iv) the stockholders of the
Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of its assets, or

supervise the affairs of the Company. 
 “Corporate Status” means the status of a person who is or was a director (or a
member of any committee of a board of directors), officer, employee or agent (including without limitation a manager of a limited liability company) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or of any predecessor thereof, or is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director (or a member of any committee of a board of directors), officer, employee or agent (including without limitation a manager of a limited liability company) of another entity, or of any predecessor thereof,
including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. 
 “Determination” means a determination that either
(x) there is a reasonable basis for the conclusion that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee met a particular standard of conduct (a “Favorable Determination”) or
(y) there is no reasonable basis for the conclusion that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee met a particular standard of conduct (an “Adverse Determination”). An Adverse
Determination shall include the decision that a Determination was required in connection with indemnification and the decision as to the applicable standard of conduct. 

“DGCL” means the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time.

other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, appealing or otherwise participating in a
Proceeding. 
 “Independent Legal Counsel” means an attorney or firm of attorneys competent to render an opinion under the
applicable law, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e), who has not performed any services (other than services similar to those contemplated to be performed by Independent Legal Counsel under this Agreement) for the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or for Indemnitee within the last three years. 

 “Proceeding” means a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including without limitation a claim, demand, discovery request, formal or informal investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, arbitration or other form of alternative

company, partnership or other entity, a majority of whose outstanding voting securities is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. 

“Voting Securities” means any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors. 

(b) Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, 

(i) References to the Company and any of its Subsidiaries shall include any corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise that before or after the date of this Agreement is party to a merger or consolidation with the Company or any such Subsidiary or that is a successor to the Company as contemplated by
Section 9(e) (whether or not such successor has executed and delivered the written agreement contemplated by Section 9(e)). 

(ii) References to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit
plan. 
 (iii) References to a “witness” in connection with a Proceeding shall include any interviewee or person

 2. Agreement to Serve. 

Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director of the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries and in such other capacities as Indemnitee may
serve at the request of the Company from time to time, and by its execution of this Agreement the Company confirms its request that Indemnitee serve as a director and in such other capacities. Indemnitee shall be entitled to resign or otherwise
terminate such service with immediate effect at any time, and neither such resignation or termination nor the length of such service shall affect Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall not constitute an employment
agreement, supersede any employment agreement to which Indemnitee is a party or create any right of Indemnitee to continued employment or appointment. 

 3. Indemnification. 

(a) General Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the
date hereof or as amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, against Expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, taxes, assessments and other charges in
connection therewith) incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. 

(b) Additional Indemnification Regarding Expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any Proceeding is initiated by
Indemnitee, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other person to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any rights of Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses (or related obligations of Indemnitee) under the Company’s or
any such Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument, any other agreement to which Indemnitee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are party, any vote of stockholders or directors of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such
Proceeding in proportion to the success achieved by Indemnitee in such Proceeding, as determined by the court presiding over such Proceeding. 

(c) Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for
a portion of any Expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred by Indemnitee, but not for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for such portion. 

(d) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification and advancement rights provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which Indemnitee may now or in the future be entitled under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders
or directors, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy, provided that to the extent that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement and by any stockholder of the Company or any affiliate
of any such stockholder (other than the Company) under any other agreement or instrument, or by any insurer under a policy maintained by any such stockholder or affiliate, (i) the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be primary, and the
obligations of such stockholder, affiliate or insurer 

 
secondary, and (ii) Indemnitee shall proceed first against the Company and any insurer under any policy maintained by the Company, second, if indemnification is not provided by the Company
or any such insurer on a timely basis, against any insurer under a policy maintained by any such stockholder or affiliate, and third, if indemnification is not provided by the Company or any such insurer on a timely basis, against any such
stockholder or affiliate. Any such stockholder or affiliate shall be entitled to enforce the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 3(d) directly against the Company, and
each such stockholder or affiliate shall constitute an express intended third party beneficiary under this Agreement for such purpose. In the event that any such stockholder or affiliate makes indemnification payments or advances to Indemnitee in
respect of any Expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement for which the Company would also be obligated pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse such stockholder or affiliate in full on
demand. 
 (e) Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated under the
Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee: 
 (i) For Expenses incurred in connection with Proceedings initiated or brought
voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim, except (x) as contemplated by Section 3(b), (y) in specific cases if the Board has approved the initiation or bringing of such
Proceeding, and (z) as may be required by law. 
 (ii) For an accounting of profits arising from the purchase and
sale by the Indemnitee of securities within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute. 

(f) Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of
the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute such documents and do such acts as the Company may reasonably request to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights, provided that the
Company shall not be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against any stockholder of the Company, any affiliate of any such stockholder or any insurer under a policy maintained by any such stockholder or affiliate. 

4. Contribution 
 (a) The
Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee. 

 (b) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for
in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for all expense, liability and loss (including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, Employee Retirement Income Security Act excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement), in connection with any Proceeding, in such proportion as is deemed fair and
reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or
(ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s). 

5. Advancement of Expenses. 

The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or
relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, other than a Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee for which the Company would not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3(e)(i), in advance of the final disposition of such
Proceeding and without regard to whether Indemnitee will ultimately be entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses and without regard to whether an Adverse Determination has been made, except as contemplated by the last sentence of
Section 6(f). Indemnitee shall repay such amounts advanced only if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. Such repayment obligation shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest. The Company shall not impose on Indemnitee additional conditions to advancement or require from Indemnitee additional
undertakings regarding repayment. The Company agrees that for the purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are
certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel as being reasonable shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable. 
 6.
Indemnification Procedure. 
 (a) Notice of Proceeding; Cooperation. Indemnitee shall give the Company notice in writing as
soon as practicable of any Proceeding for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, provided that any failure or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Agreement
unless and to the extent that (i) none of the Company and its subsidiaries are party to or aware of such Proceeding and (ii) the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure. 

 (b) Settlement. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee,
which may be provided or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee or which could have been brought against Indemnitee unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money by
persons other than Indemnitee and includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters.
The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) Request for Payment; Timing of Payment. To obtain indemnification payments or advances under this
Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, together with such invoices or other supporting information as may be reasonably requested by the Company and reasonably available to Indemnitee. The Company shall make
indemnification payments to Indemnitee no later than 30 days, and advances to Indemnitee no later than 10 days, after receipt of the written request (and such invoices or other supporting information) of Indemnitee. 

(d) Determination. The Company intends that Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law as provided in
Section 3 and that no Determination shall be required in connection with such indemnification. In no event shall a Determination be required in connection with advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 4 or in connection with
indemnification for Expenses incurred as a witness or incurred in connection with any Proceeding or portion thereof with respect to which Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise (including, without limitation, settlement of
Proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration or the termination of any issue or matter in such Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice). Any decision that a Determination is required by law in connection with any
other indemnification of Indemnitee, and any such Determination, shall be made within 30 days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification, as follows: 

(i) If no Change in Control has occurred, (w) by a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are not
parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (x) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, with the
advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (y) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee, or (z) by the stockholders of the
Company. 
 (ii) If a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and
Indemnitee. 

 The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Determination. 

(e) Independent Legal Counsel. If there has not been a Change in Control, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by the Board
and approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If there has been a Change in Control, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel and indemnify Independent Legal Counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages
arising out of or relating to its engagement. 
 (f) Consequences of Determination; Remedies of Indemnitee. The Company 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 the Company does not make timely indemnification payments or advances of Expenses, Indemnitee shall have the
right to commence a Proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require the Company 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 3(b) and to have such Expenses advanced by the Company in accordance with Section 5. If Indemnitee fails to timely challenge an Adverse Determination, or if Indemnitee
challenges an Adverse Determination and such Adverse Determination has been upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final and non-appealable decision then, to the extent and only to the extent required by such Adverse Determination or
final decision, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee under this Agreement. 
 (g)
Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. In connection with any Determination, or any review of any Determination, by any person, including a court: 

(i) It shall be a presumption that a Determination is not required. 

 (ii) It shall be a presumption that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of
conduct and that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances. 
 (iii) The burden of proof shall be on the
Company to overcome the presumptions set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and each such presumption shall only be overcome if the Company establishes that there is no reasonable basis to support it. 

(iv) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, finding, 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 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 6(f) shall be de novo with respect to all determinations of fact and law. 
 7.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. 
 (a) Maintenance of Insurance. So long as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
maintains liability insurance for any directors, officers, employees or agents of any such person, the Company shall ensure that Indemnitee 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 its Subsidiaries’ then current directors and officers. If at any date (i) such insurance ceases to cover acts and omissions occurring during all or any part of the
period of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or (ii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains any such insurance, the Company shall ensure that Indemnitee is covered, with respect to acts and omissions prior to such
date, for at least six years (or such shorter period as is available on commercially reasonable terms) from such date, by other directors and officers liability insurance, in amounts and on terms (including the portion of the period of
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status covered) no less favorable to Indemnitee than the amounts and terms of the liability insurance maintained by the Company on the date hereof. 

(b) Notice to Insurers. Upon receipt of notice of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 6(a), the Company shall give or cause to be
given prompt notice of such Proceeding to all insurers providing liability insurance in accordance with the 

 
procedures set forth in all applicable or potentially applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary action to cause such insurers to pay all amounts payable in accordance
with the terms of such policies. 
 8. Exculpation, etc. 

(a) Limitation of Liability. Indemnitee shall not be personally liable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to the stockholders
of the Company or any such Subsidiary for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director of the Company or any such Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of the
Indemnitee (i) for any breach of the Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or such Subsidiary or the stockholders thereof; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or any similar provision of other applicable corporations law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the Indemnitee derived an improper personal
benefit. If the DGCL or such other applicable law shall be amended to permit further elimination or limitation of the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the Indemnitee shall, automatically, without any further action, be
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or such other applicable law as so amended. 
 (b) Period of
Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries against Indemnitee or Indemnitee’s estate, spouses, heirs, executors, personal or legal
representatives, administrators or assigns after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely
filing of a legal action within such two-year period, provided that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern. 

9. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Non-Circumvention. The Company shall not seek or agree to any order of any court or other governmental authority that would prohibit or otherwise interfere, and shall not take or fail to take any other action if such action or failure would
reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or otherwise interfering, with the performance of the Company’s indemnification, advancement or other obligations under this Agreement. 

(b) Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement 

 
(including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to
applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 

(c) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly
given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt, (ii) on the first business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next-day courier
service or (iii) on the third business day following the date of mailing if delivered by domestic registered or certified mail, properly addressed, or on the fifth business day following the date of mailing if sent by airmail from
a country outside of North America, to Indemnitee at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement, to the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or in either case as subsequently modified by written
notice. 
 (d) Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be
effective unless it is in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver
constitute a continuing waiver. 
 (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its
respective successors and assigns, including without limitation any acquiror of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business and any survivor of any merger or consolidation to which the Company is party, and shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s estate, spouses, heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, administrators and assigns. The Company shall require and cause any such successor, by written agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as if it were named as the Company herein, and the Company shall not permit any such purchase of assets or business, acquisition of securities or
merger or consolidation to occur until such written agreement has been executed and delivered. No such assumption and agreement shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable by
the Company. 

 (f) Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and its
provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. The
Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action
instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of Delaware. 
 (g) Integration and Entire
Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof
between the parties hereto, provided that the provisions hereof shall not supersede the provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument, any other agreement, any vote of
stockholders or directors, the DGCL or other applicable law, to the extent any such provisions shall be more favorable to Indemnitee than the provisions hereof. 

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Reference is made to the Consulting Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2010 (the “CD&R Consulting Agreement”),
among Univar Inc. (the “Company”), Univar USA Inc. (“Opco”) and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the CD&R Consulting Agreement. 
 Upon the terms and conditions of this letter agreement, the parties hereby agree to terminate
the CD&R Consulting Agreement pursuant to Section 4(c) thereof, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of shares of its common stock pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration
No. 333-197085) (the “IPO”). In connection with and as consideration for such termination, the Company and Opco, jointly and severally, agree to pay in cash a fee of $[13.1] million to CD&R (the “CD&R
Termination Fee”) on the closing date of the Company’s IPO and, in consideration thereof, CD&R will waive any right to any Transaction Fee in connection with the IPO. Upon the payment of the CD&R Termination Fee, the CD&R
Consulting Agreement will terminate, provided that Section 3 thereof shall survive solely as to any portion of any Consulting Fee, Transaction Fee or Expenses accrued, but not paid or reimbursed, prior to such termination. The
termination of the CD&R Consulting Agreement shall not affect the Indemnification Agreement which shall survive such termination. 
 The
CD&R Consulting Agreement is being terminated in reliance upon, and subject to, the concurrent termination of the Monitoring Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2010, among the Company, Opco and CVC Capital Partners Advisory Company
(Luxembourg) S.à.r.l., and the Implementation and Facilitation Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2010, among the Company, Opco and each of CVC European Equity IV (AB) Limited, CVC European Equity IV (CDE) Limited and CVC European
Equity Tandem GP Limited, in consideration of a fee in an amount equal to the CD&R Termination Fee and on terms substantially identical to this letter agreement. 

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, with each executed counterpart constituting an original, but all together
one and the same instrument. This letter agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement 

 
among the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case written or oral, of any
kind and every nature with respect hereto. This letter agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within that state.
