WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, the
Borrowers, Holdings, Holdings GP, the Administrative Agent, the 2021 Incremental Term Lenders and each other party hereto wish to amend the Existing Credit Agreement to enable the Borrowers to establish an Incremental Term Facility (the

Effective Date (as defined below) in an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000 (the “2021 Incremental Term Loans” and the Incremental Term Loan Commitments in respect thereof, the “2021 Incremental Term
Commitments”), which will be part of the same Class of Term Loans as the existing Initial Term Loans under the Credit Agreement. 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each 2021 Incremental Term Lender is prepared to provide,
severally and not jointly, 2021 Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount for such 2021 Incremental Term Lender equal to its 2021 Incremental Term Commitment set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. 

WHEREAS, the proceeds of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans made hereunder will be used by the Borrowers to (a) pay the
purchase price to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Thrift Intermediate Holdings I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Target”), (b) finance the

Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition”) (whether or not consummated) and the transactions described in clauses (a) and (b) above (such fees, costs and expenses, the “Transaction Costs”) and/or (d) for

and the incurrence of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans contemplated by this First Amendment are collectively referred to as the “First Amendment Transactions”. 

 WHEREAS, as contemplated by Section 2.16 of
the Credit Agreement, (a) the parties hereto have agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof, to amend certain terms of the Existing Credit Agreement as hereinafter
provided to give effect to the establishment of the 2021 Incremental Term Commitments and the incurrence of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans and (b) this First Amendment shall constitute an “Incremental Amendment” under the Credit
Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged by each
party hereto, it is agreed that: 
 SECTION 1.     RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. The rules of construction specified in
Sections 1.02 through 1.09 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this First Amendment, including the terms defined in the preamble and recitals hereto. 

SECTION 2.     2021 INCREMENTAL TERM LOANS. 

(a)     Pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, each 2021 Incremental Term Lender,
severally and not jointly, (i) shall on the First Amendment Effective Date, have a 2021 Incremental Term Commitment that is equal to the amount set forth next to its name on Schedule 1 hereto and (ii) agrees, upon the satisfaction
or waiver of the conditions in Section 6 of this First Amendment, to make 2021 Incremental Term Loans to, and in the amount requested by, the Borrowers on the First Amendment Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed its respective
2021 Incremental Term Commitment, in accordance with this First Amendment and the Credit Agreement; provided, that any 2021 Incremental Term Loan may be funded by any Affiliate of such 2021 Incremental Term Lender that is an Eligible Assignee
under the Credit Agreement. The borrowing of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans will be subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof. 

(b)     The full amount of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall be drawn by the Borrowers in a single drawing on the
First Amendment Effective Date and amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The 2021 Incremental Term Loans (i) shall be treated and deemed to constitute part of the same Class as the Initial
Term Loans for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and (ii) the terms and provisions of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to those of the existing Class of Initial Term Loans outstanding on
the date hereof as set forth in the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement and the Applicable Rate. The 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to scheduled amortization
as set forth in Section 2.09(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement with the remaining outstanding principal amount due and payable in full on the Maturity Date for the existing Class of Initial Term Loans (which shall also be the Maturity
Date for the 2021 Incremental Term Loans). 
 (c)     The 2021 Incremental Term Lenders, the Administrative Agent and
the Loan Parties party hereto agree that this First Amendment shall constitute an “Incremental Amendment” pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement.

Incremental Term Facility and the 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall constitute an “Incremental Term Facility” and “Incremental Term Loans,” respectively, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.16
of the Credit Agreement. 
 (e)     The 2021 Incremental Term Commitment of each 2021 Incremental Term Lender shall
automatically terminate upon the funding of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans on the First Amendment Effective Date.

Loans”). 
 SECTION 4.     REFERENCE TO AND EFFECT ON THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. On and after the First Amendment
Effective Date, (i) each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or text of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement

 SECTION 5.     REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES. The Borrowers
hereby represent and warrant to the 2021 Incremental Term Lenders and the Administrative Agent on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, that:

Transactions; and

the extent a breach of such representations and warranties is material and adverse to the interests of the First Amendment Lenders (in their capacities as such). 

(c)    solely to the extent the Excess Amount is included in the Committed Loan Notice delivered in accordance with
Section 6(a)(i) below: (a) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date (except for representations and warranties that are already
qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects), immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of the 2021 Incremental Term Facility except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality,
which representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects) and (b) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the borrowing of the Excess Amount. 

SECTION 6.      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. This First Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the
“First Amendment Effective Date”) when the conditions set forth in this Section 6 shall have been satisfied (or waived by the 2021 Incremental Term Lenders in accordance with the Credit Agreement): 

(a)    Amendment Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have received the following, in each case in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the 2021 Incremental Term Lenders:

(iii)    (A) certificates of good standing from the secretary of state or other applicable office of the

Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, with respect to matters of Canadian law; 
 (v)    a certificate from
the chief financial officer or other officer with equivalent duties of the US Borrower as to the Solvency (after giving effect to the First Amendment Transactions on the First Amendment Effective Date) of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries)
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I to the Credit Agreement; 
 (vi)    confirmation
from the US Borrower (in the form of an officer’s certificate) that prior to or substantially simultaneously with the initial Borrowing of 2021 Incremental Term Loans on the First Amendment Effective Date, (A) the Refinancing shall have

Agreement”); unless the relevant revision or modification of the Draft Acquisition Agreement is consented to by the 2021 Incremental Term Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided

Amendment Effective Date and (z) any revision or modification to the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” or the “Xerox” provisions, in each case, contained in the Acquisition Agreement will be deemed to be

(viii)    (A) the audited consolidated balance sheet of Intermediate II (as defined in the Acquisition

 (b)    Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties in Section 5 hereof shall be true and correct as of the First Amendment Effective Date; provided that to the extent that the Acquisition Agreement Representations and the Specified Representations specifically refer to
an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date. The Administrative Agent shall have received a customary closing certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and the 2021 Incremental Term Lenders, dated as of the First Amendment Effective Date and signed by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower, certifying the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a failure of an Acquisition Agreement
Representation to be accurate will not result in a failure of a condition to the effectiveness of this First Amendment, unless such failure results in a failure of a condition precedent to the Buyer’s (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement)
obligation to consummate the Acquisition or such failure gives the Buyer the right (taking into account any notice and cure provisions) to terminate the Buyer’s obligations, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and
(ii) other than with respect to the Excess Amount, the only representations and warranties made in connection with the First Amendment Transactions the inaccuracy of which could result in a Default or Event of Default are the Specified

 (c)    Incremental Amount Certificate. A certificate signed by a Responsible Officer
of the US Borrower certifying, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the 2021 Incremental Term Lenders, a calculation detailing the incurrence of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans under Section 2.16(c)
of the Credit Agreement. 
 (d)    Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses required to be paid hereunder on
the First Amendment Effective Date and, with respect to expenses and legal fees, to the extent invoiced in reasonable detail at least two Business Days before the First Amendment Effective Date (except as otherwise reasonably agreed to by the
US Borrower) shall have been paid in full in cash, it being agreed that such fees and expenses may be paid with the proceeds of the initial funding of the 2021 Incremental Term Facility. 

(e)    KYC. The 2021 Incremental Term Lenders shall have received at least three  

Business Days prior to the First Amendment Effective Date (i) all documentation and other information about the Loan Parties required in
order to comply with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and Canadian AML Legislation, and (ii) to the extent either Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity
customer” a customary FinCEN beneficial ownership certificate, that in each case has been requested in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the First Amendment Effective Date. 

(f)    Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2020, there shall not have been any Company
Material Adverse Effect (as set forth in the Draft Acquisition Agreement) that would result in the failure of a condition precedent to the Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement or that would give the
Buyer the right (taking into account any notice and cure provisions) to terminate its obligations pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. 

SECTION 7.     REAFFIRMATION. 
  

  
 6 

 By executing and delivering a copy hereof, (i) the Borrowers and each other Loan Party

	19	 RIGHTS TO THE RESULT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 

 

	19.1	 The Purchaser acknowledges that all Intellectual Property Rights relating to the System, including but not
limited to the Intellectual Property Rights of the Design, Design Documentation and Documentation, the System Software, and any other Intellectual Property Rights created by the Supplier during the performance of this Agreement, irrespective of
their origin, whether created alone or in conjunction with the Purchaser or third parties and/or based on the proposals or (assisted) development of the Purchaser or third parties (“New IP”), are and remain the exclusive property of the
Supplier. This shall equally apply to all future improvements, modifications and/or additions to the System. The Supplier hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates, who hereby accepts, a perpetual, royalty-free and
non-transferable (except to the Purchaser’s Affiliates, successors and assigns) and non-exclusive license on all Intellectual Property Rights in the Design
necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance, modification, repair and demolition of the System, including the System Software. For the avoidance of doubt, Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser remains free to combine, integrate
and/or interface the System with other machines and/or systems, without the Supplier acquiring any Intellectual Property Rights to the machines and systems that are combined, integrated and/or interfaced with the System. 

 

	19.2	 Without prejudice to the license granted on improvements, modifications and additions to the System as set out
in Section 19.1 of this Agreement, and the enhanced license to the System Software set forth in Section 19.7 below, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting, or as an undertaking to subsequently grant, to the Purchaser any
license, right, title or interest in the Intellectual Property Rights relating to the System. On Purchaser’s written request, the Parties agree to resolve in good faith a license fee payable to Supplier for the purpose of enabling Purchaser and
its Affiliates to independently develop, manufacture and operate central processing centers similar to the CPC System for Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ internal business use only. Accordingly, in consideration of the agreed license fee,
Supplier hereby grants to Purchaser an irrevocable, non-

  
 19 

	 	
exclusive (according to the terms and conditions of Section 22.1), non-transferrable, license in the Territory, without the right to grant sublicenses
to all of the Intellectual Property Rights of the CPC System described in Addendum A and in any New IP, including the System Software for Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ internal business use only. 

 

	19.3	 The Purchaser undertakes to fully respect the exclusivity of the Intellectual Property Rights set forth in
Section 19.1 and 19.2 and agrees not to apply for a patent, trademark, utility model, design or any other registered Intellectual Property Right protection relating to the System. Subject to being indemnified for costs, the Purchaser shall take
reasonable steps to assist the Supplier in protecting its Intellectual Property Rights. 

  

	19.4	 The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Supplier in the event a third party alleges that the System infringe
its Intellectual Property Rights (hereinafter referred to as “Third Party Claim”) in which case the Supplier shall at its sole discretion exercise one or more of the following rights at its cost: (a) replace or modify the System or
the alleged infringing part thereof within a reasonable time period such that the replaced or modified System or part thereof is no longer (allegedly) infringing any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, or (b) procure for the
Purchaser the right to continue to use the System as contemplated by the Agreement under reasonable terms and conditions. 

  

	19.5	 The Purchaser acknowledges that the Supplier shall take the lead in handling the Third Party Claim which
implies amongst others that solely the Supplier has the right to determine, in its sole discretion, how it will handle the Third Party Claim and the Purchaser undertakes not to take any action in that respect and to reasonably cooperate with the
Supplier.     

  

	19.6	 The Supplier undertakes to hold the Purchaser harmless in case of Third-Party Claims in this regard as further
set forth in Section 17.8. 

  

	19.7	 In addition to the rights granted to Purchaser to the System Software for use in the CPC System described in
Addendum A, Supplier agrees to notify Purchaser of all software updates, enhancements and new releases (collectively “Updates”) that Supplier makes available to its clients. In the event Purchaser elects to have such Updates installed in
any of its previously installed Systems, Purchaser shall not be obligated to the cost of such Upgrades, but shall be responsible for the cost of installation/implementation of such Upgrades. Further, Supplier grants Purchaser the right to copy the
System Software as reasonably necessary to operate the System Software, and for backup, disaster relief and testing purposes. Any additional software implementation services or maintenance services outside the Warranty in Section 16.1 will be
provided under a separate scope of work. 

  

	20	 TITLE 

  

	20.1	 The title to the System will remain with the Supplier until the instalments in accordance with subsection 13.4
(subject to any reduction under clause 14) have been paid. The Purchaser will immediately inform the Supplier in case of arrest of any components of the System at his charge or in his hands. 

 

	20.2	 Following payment of the instalments in accordance with subsection 13.4 as set forth above in subsection 20.1,
the title to the System will transfer to the Purchaser. 

  
 20 

	21	 CONFIDENTIALITY 

 

	21.1	 For the purposes of this Agreement, the Parties may provide each other with confidential and proprietary
information including but not limited to all commercial, technical or financial information, Documentation and Design Documentation (hereafter “Confidential Information”). 

 

	21.2	 Each Party agrees not to, and undertakes that no Affiliate shall, disclose any Confidential Information to any
third party, nor use the same for its own sole benefit, nor permits its use for the benefit of others, without the prior written consent of the other Party. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees who reasonably need access
to such information in connection with their involvement in the Design of the System and who have undertaken, in writing, obligations of confidentiality comparable in scope to those set forth in this Agreement. 

 

	21.3	 The obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement shall not apply to any information which:

  

	 	a)	 becomes published or otherwise generally available to the public through no fault of any Party;

  

	 	b)	 was already known to the recipient or otherwise available to that Party before the disclosure of the
information pursuant to this Agreement; 

  

	 	c)	 is obtained by the recipient from a third party who is not restricted by any obligation of confidence;

  

	 	d)	 is prepared or developed by a Party, which is unrelated to the disclosure of information under the terms of
this Agreement, or 

  

	 	e)	 needs to be disclosed to comply with a court of administrative order, provided that the respective Party first
uses reasonable efforts to obtain an order preserving confidentiality of the Confidential Information. 

  

	22	 EXCLUSIVITY 

22.1     Commencing on the execution of this Agreement, Supplier shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its officers,
directors, stockholders, affiliates, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives to, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license or transfer the CPC System, or any similar mass material handling system to any competitor of Purchaser or its
Affiliates in the Territory and in the Segment and continuing thereafter (“Exclusivity Period”) as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	 Two (2) years following the date of the mutual execution (“Contract Date”) of this Agreement.

  

	 	•	 	 So long as Purchaser executes a Combined Order (min of 2,000,000 Euro) within two (2) years following the
Contract Date of this Agreement, or within one (1) year following the Contract Date of any subsequent Combined Order (‘Notice Date’), then the Exclusivity Period shall be extended until three (3) years following the Contract Date
of the most recently completed Combined Order. In no event shall the Notice Date for a subsequent Combined Order be earlier than a preceding Notice Date. 

  

	 	•	 	 In the event a Combined Order is not executed by Purchaser within two (2) years following the
Contract Date of this Agreement, then the Exclusivity Term shall expire on that date. 

  

	 	•	 	 In the event a Combined Order is not executed by Purchaser within one (1) year following the Contract
Date of a subsequent Combined Order, then the Exclusivity Term shall expire after three (3) years following the Contract Date of the most recently completed Combined Order. 

  
 21 

 The following two existing customers of Supplier are excluded from these exclusivity provisions, unless they
are acquired by or merged into a competitor of Purchaser with any business operations in the Segment and in the Territory: 
 [***] 

[***] 
 Notwithstanding anything in
Section 22.1 to the contrary, Exclusivity in Australia shall be granted to Purchaser for a period of three (3) years beyond the completion of the Acceptance Letter of the Edmonton CPC (’Australia Option Expiration’). If Purchaser
elects to contract for a CPC installation in Australia prior to the Australia Option Expiration, then Exclusivity for Australia shall continue until that date that is three (3) years following the Contract Date of the Australia CPC. In the
event that Purchaser does not contract for the installation of a CPC in Australia before the Australia Option Expiration, then Exclusivity in Australia shall expire on the Australia Option Expiration. For clarity, an Australia CPC installation shall
count toward Purchaser’s Combined Order requirement to maintain Exclusivity in the US and Canada. 
  

	22.2	 FUTURE CPC SYSTEM ACQUISITIONS 

Upon execution of this Agreement, both Parties agree to reduce the cost for future CPC Systems. Cost reductions could find their origin in:

  

	 	•	 	 Non-value Added Costs (e.g. Freight, Duty); 

 

	 	•	 	 Process Design (value engineering); and 

 

	 	•	 	 Equipment (lower cost for the same or substantially the same equipment). 

 

	23	 DAMAGES 

In the event of a breach of obligations under Section 19, 21 or 22, the breaching Party shall pay the other Party an amount of EUR 100.000
for each breach, and in addition, an amount of EUR 1.000 for each day that breach continues, without the need to serve prior notice or the need of a court order and without prejudice to any right of the other Party to recover damages in excess of
the amounts specified in this Section 23. The Parties acknowledge the importance of the obligations under this Section 23 for both Parties and that such amounts represent a genuine and reasonable estimate of the damage likely to be
suffered by any Party in the event of a breach of the obligations under respectively the Sections 19, 21 or 22. 
  

	24	 TERMINATION 

  

	24.1	 Termination with immediate effect 

 

	24.1.1	 The Supplier shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time by notice with immediate effect

instituted by or against the Purchaser and, if involuntarily, they are not dismissed within ninety (90) days after proceedings are commenced; or 

  

	 	c)	 if the Purchaser is dissolved; or 

  
 22 

	 	e)	 if the Purchaser fails to pay the Supplier any amount outstanding which is due and payable, and not subject to
reasonable dispute, within ninety (90) days following written notice specifying the exact nature of the default after the amount became due and payable pursuant to Section 13.4 and Purchaser fails to cure such default within the ninety
(90) day time period.     

 Any such termination shall be without prejudice to any other rights
of the Supplier under this Agreement.

assigns substantially all of its assets to a third party or goes into liquidation; or 

  

	 	b)	 if voluntarily or involuntarily any proceedings under bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws are
instituted by or against the Supplier; or 

  

	 	c)	 if the Supplier is dissolved, except in the framework of a restructuring; or 

 

	 	d)	 if the financial situation of the Supplier is or becomes such that its ability to duly perform this Agreement
is substantially affected, or the Supplier terminates or suspends its business; 

  

	 	e)	 if Supplier is in material default and fails to cure the default within thirty (30) days of written notice
by Purchaser specifying the exact nature of the default, unless such default involves a repair to the System that, by its nature, cannot be completed within thirty (30) days, then in such event, as soon as is reasonably possible.

 Any such termination shall be without prejudice to any other rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement. 

 

	24.1.3	 Purchaser may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice of termination, without cause or reason, at
any time within ninety (90) days of the signing of the Agreement (Milestone 1), in which event, the amount paid to Supplier for Milestone 1 shall be forfeited by Purchaser and retained by Supplier, and neither party shall have further
obligations to provide Services or to make payments under this Agreement whatsoever.
