(b)  References to Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the Credit  Agreement and Loan Documents.

(ii)  For purposes of any requirement for any Borrower to compensate  Lenders for losses in the Credit Agreement resulting from any continuation, conversion,  payment or prepayment of any Alternative Currency Loan on a day other than the last  day of any Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), references to the Interest  Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to include any relevant  interest payment date or payment period for an Alternative Currency Loan.

(d) Borrowings and Continuations of Alternative Currency Loans.  In addition  to any other borrowing requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement:  (i) Alternative Currency Loans.  Each Borrowing of Alternative Currency  Loans, and each continuation of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall be made  upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may  be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic  notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a  Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the  Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days (or five (5)  Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any  Borrowing or, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, any continuation;  provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request Alternative Currency Term  Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, three or six months in duration as  provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by  

 

    #94879280v8   the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon five (5) Business Days (or six (6)  Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of  such Borrowing or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, whereupon  the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and  determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them.  Not later  than 12:00 noon, four (4) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days in the case of a  Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing or continuation  of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify the  Parent Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested  Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders.  Each Borrowing of or  continuation of Alternative Currency Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar  Equivalent of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in  excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the applicable  Borrower is requesting a Borrowing or a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate  Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be  (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the currency and principal amount of Loans to be  borrowed or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed and (v) if applicable, the  duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Parent Borrower fails to  specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so requested  shall be made in Dollars.  If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a  Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then  the applicable Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars;  provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of  Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Alternative  Currency Term Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one (1)  month.  If the Parent Borrower requests a Borrowing of or continuation of Alternative  Currency Term Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an  Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers and Lenders acknowledge and agree that any  conversion or continuation of an existing Loan shall be deemed to be a continuation of  that Loan with a converted interest rate methodology and not a new Loan. Except as  otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement, no Alternative Currency Loan may be  converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead  must be repaid in the original currency of such Alternative Currency Loan and  reborrowed in the other currency.   (ii) Conforming Changes.  With respect to any Alternative Currency Rate,  the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to  time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Credit Agreement or in  any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes  will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this  Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that, with  respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such  amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Parent Borrower and the  Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.   (iii) Committed Loan Notice. For purposes of a Borrowing of Alternative  Currency Loans, or a continuation of and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the  Parent Borrower shall use the Committed Loan Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A.  (e) Interest.    

 

    #94879280v8    (i) Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to Default  Interest (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (x) each Alternative Currency Daily Rate  Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable  borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Currency Daily Rate plus the  Applicable Rate; and (y) each Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall bear interest  on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum  equal to the Alternative Currency Term Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable  Rate.   (ii) Interest on each Alternative Currency Loan shall be due and payable in  arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may  be specified the Credit Agreement.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in  accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the  commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (as defined in the Credit  Agreement).  (f)  Computations.  All computations of interest for Alternative Currency Loans shall  be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366)  days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of  Alternative Currency Loans as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance  with such market practice.  Interest shall accrue on each Alternative Currency Loans for the day  on which the Alternative Currency Loans is made, and shall not accrue on an Alternative  Currency Loans, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Alternative Currency Loans or  such portion is paid, provided that any Alternative Currency Loans that is repaid on the same day  on which it is made shall, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, bear interest for one (1)  day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be  conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  (g) Successor Rates.  The provisions in the Credit Agreement addressing the replacement of  a current Successor Rate for a currency shall be deemed to apply to Alternative Currency Loans and  SONIA and EURIBOR, as applicable, and the related defined terms shall be deemed to include  Sterling and Euros and SONIA and EURIBOR, as applicable.

__ Amended and Restated Primo Water Corporation Equity Incentive Plan

__ Primo Water Corporation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan

    2.    Restricted Share Unit Award — Terms and Conditions. Under and subject to the provisions of the equity incentive plan designated above (the “Plan”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Primo Water Corporation (the “Company”) has granted to _______________ (the “Grantee”), effective _____________ (the “Date of Grant”), a Restricted Share Unit Award (the “Award”) of ___________ restricted share units (such units, the “Units”), in respect of services to be provided by the Grantee in ____ and thereafter. At all times, each Unit shall be equal in value to one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Share”). Such Award is subject to the terms and conditions of this Restricted Share Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Plan. 

        (a)    Vesting. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Award will vest as follows:                    . Each date on which Units vest may be referred to herein as a “Vesting Date.” The Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the “Committee”) may, in accordance with the Plan and to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code (if applicable), accelerate the vesting period as to some or all of the Units at any time. 

        (b)    Payout of Award. Provided the Award has not previously been forfeited, as soon as administratively practicable following a Vesting Date, but in no event later than the later to occur of (i) sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Vesting Date, and (ii) the date that audited financial statements are available for the Company’s fiscal year during which the Vesting Date occurs, the Company shall issue to the Grantee in a single payment the number of Shares underlying the Units that have become vested as of the Vesting Date. The Shares issued by the Company hereunder may at the Company’s option be either (i) evidenced by a certificate registered in the name of the Grantee or his or her designee; or (ii) credited to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Grantee maintained by the Company’s stock transfer agent or its designee.  

        (c)    Rights Prior to Vesting. Until a Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Units which have not previously vested (except as provided in the following paragraph). If the number of outstanding common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Company, the Units subject to this Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. Upon vesting and payout of the Award, the Grantee may exercise voting rights and shall 
1

be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of Shares to which the Grantee is entitled pursuant hereto.

        As of any date that the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its Shares, the Company shall credit the Grantee with a dollar amount equal to (i) the per share cash dividend paid by the Company on its Shares on such date, multiplied by (ii) the total number of Units that are outstanding immediately prior to the record date for that dividend (a “Dividend Equivalent Right”). Any Dividend Equivalent Rights credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1(c) shall be subject to satisfaction of the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original Units to which they relate; provided, however, that the amount of any earned Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid in cash at the same time as the related Units.  No crediting of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be made pursuant to this Section 1(c) with respect to any Units which, immediately prior to the record date for that dividend, have been paid out or forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Plan. 

    3.    Prohibition Against Transfer. Until vesting and payout, the Units subject to the Award, and any interest in the Shares and the rights granted under this Agreement are not transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes. Until vesting and payout, the Units subject to the Award, and any interest in the Shares related thereto, may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

    4.    Securities Law Requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares pursuant to the Award, to the extent required, unless and until (a) such Shares have been duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Common Shares is then registered; and (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to such Shares is then effective. 

    5.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

    6.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Grantee. The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of the Grantee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Grantee with respect to any income recognized by the Grantee in connection with the Agreement is guaranteed, and the Grantee solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Grantee 
2

under Section 409A in connection with the Agreement. Reference to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

    7.    Tax Withholding.

        (a)    Grantees Other Than UK Grantees.  The Grantee shall pay all applicable income and employment taxes (including taxes of any foreign jurisdiction) which the Company or a Subsidiary is required to withhold at any time with respect to the Units. Such payment shall be made in full, at the Grantee's election, in cash or check, by withholding from the Grantee's next normal payroll check, or by the relinquishment of Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. Shares tendered as payment of required withholding shall be valued at the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date such withholding obligation arises.

        (b)    UK Grantees.  By executing this Agreement, the Grantee agrees with the Company (for itself and on behalf of the Grantee's employing company (the “Employer”)) that the Company (or, if it is the secondary contributor in respect of the Grantee for the purposes of national insurance contributions, the Employer) may recover from the Grantee (by deduction or otherwise) an amount equal to any secondary Class 1 contributions payable in respect of the acquisition by the Grantee of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement, together with any income tax and primary Class 1 contributions due under the Pay As You Earn system in respect of any Shares acquired by the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement and the Grantee hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and the Employer for such amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, a broker or trustee instructed by the Grantee shall be entitled to retain, out of the aggregate number of Shares issued in the name of the Grantee and to which the Grantee would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and sell as agent for the Grantee, such number of Shares as in the opinion of the Company or the Employer will realize an amount equivalent to any amount due from the Grantee pursuant to this Section and to pay such proceeds to the Employer to reimburse it for such amount.

    8.    Employment.  The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of his office or employment with the Employer will not be affected by his participation in the Plan or any right which he may have under this Agreement and this Agreement does not form part of any contract of employment between the Grantee and the Employer. If the Grantee’s office or employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise) he will not be entitled to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Plan.

    9.    Beneficiary Designation.  The Grantee may, subject to compliance with all applicable laws, name, from time to time, any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in the event of the Grantee’s death before the Grantee receives any or all of such benefit.  Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Grantee, shall be in the form as may be prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Grantee in writing with the Committee 
3

during his or her lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Grantee’s death shall be paid to his or her estate.

    10.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and the laws of the United States applicable therein.

    11.    Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

    12.    Entire Agreement.

        (a)    The Grantee hereby acknowledges that he or she has received, reviewed and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to this Agreement, and has not been induced to enter into this Agreement or acquire any Units by expectation of employment or continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  The granting of the Award and the issuance of Units are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, all of which are incorporated into and form an integral part of this Agreement.

        (b)    The Grantee hereby acknowledges that he or she is to consult with and rely upon only the Grantee’s own tax, legal, and financial advisors regarding the consequences and risks of this Agreement and the award of Units.

        (c)    This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. 

    13.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute one and the same original.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Primo Water Corporation has caused this Agreement to be duly executed by one of its duly authorized officers, and the Grantee has executed this Agreement, effective as of the day and year first above written.
