 Exhibit 10.1 
 INCENTIVE UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT 
 THIS INCENTIVE UNIT GRANT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of March 29, 2012 by and between Varietal Distribution Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and the executive identified on the
signature page attached hereto (“Executive”) and is being entered into pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Securities Purchase Plan (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Plan”). Certain definitions are set
forth in Section 7 of this Agreement and on the signature page attached hereto, which shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the LLC
Agreement (as defined below). 
 WHEREAS, Executive is an employee of the Company, VWR Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“VWR”), or their respective Subsidiaries, and the Company desires to grant to Executive certain of the Company’s Class A Common Units on the terms and conditions provided herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Equity
Interests. 
 (a) At the Closing (as defined below), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant
to the Plan, Executive will accept from the Company, and the Company will grant to Executive, a number of Class A Common Units equal to the Number of Class A Common Units (as defined on the signature page hereto) (such granted units, the
“Issued Interests”). 
 (b) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of the Company on the date hereof or at such other time and date or at such other place as the Company and Executive may determine. The date
on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” 
 (c) At the Closing, the Company
shall update the Unit Ownership Ledger (as defined in the LLC Agreement) to reflect the issuance of the Issued Interests to Executive. 
 (d) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, Executive will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, as amended (the “Code”), in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto; provided that if Executive is not a resident of the United States and not otherwise subject to income taxation under the laws of the
United States, then Executive shall not be required to make such an election (but may make such election at his or her option). 

 (e) In connection with the grant and issuance of the Issued Interests, Executive represents
and warrants to the Company that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing: 
 (i) the Issued Interests to be
acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive’s own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws,
and the Issued Interests will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws; 
 (ii) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive
does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement or instrument to which Executive is a party or subject or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject; 

(iii) Executive is an employee of the Company, VWR or their respective Subsidiaries, is sophisticated in financial matters
and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Issued Interests; 
 (iv) if the Company
has notified Executive (including, without limitation, by a notice set forth on the signature page attached hereto) that it is relying or may rely on an exemption pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act for the issuance of the Issued
Interests to Executive, Executive is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act; 
 (v) Executive is able to hold the Issued Interests for an indefinite period of time because the Issued Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available; 
 (vi)
Executive (A) has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Issued Interests, (B) has had full access to such other information concerning the Company, VWR and their
respective Subsidiaries as he or she has requested in connection with the investments contemplated hereby and (C) has received and reviewed a copy of each of the Transaction Documents and the Confidential Information Memorandum, dated
March 7, 2013, from VWR a reasonable period of time before the date hereof; and 
 (vii) Executive is a
resident of the city, state and country indicated in Executive’s Address (as set forth on the signature page hereto). 

(f) Executive acknowledges that the Company is relying upon the accuracy and completeness of the representations contained herein in
complying with its obligations under applicable securities laws. 

  
 2 

 (g) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Issued Interests to Executive, and as a
condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Issued Interests to Executive nor any provision contained in this Agreement shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, VWR or their
respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company, VWR or their respective Subsidiaries to terminate Executive’s employment at any time for any reason. 
 (h) At the Closing, if Executive is lawfully married and Executive’s Address or the permanent residence of Executive’s spouse is located in a community property jurisdiction, Executive’s
spouse shall execute and deliver to the Company the Consent in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. 
 (i) At the
Closing, Executive shall become a party to the LLC Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company counterparts to such agreements in the form of Exhibits C-1 and C-2 attached hereto. The
Company’s obligation to consummate the issuance of the Issued Interests pursuant to this Section 1 is conditioned upon Executive executing and delivering such counterparts at the Closing. For purposes of the LLC Agreement, the
Securityholders Agreement and the Plan, this Agreement shall constitute a Management Unit Purchase Agreement. 
 (j) The Company
and Executive hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been executed and delivered, and the Issued Interests have been issued hereunder, in connection with and as a part of the compensation and incentive arrangements between the Company
and Executive and pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Plan. Executive agrees to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as the same may be amended or modified from time to time in accordance with their terms.

 2. Vesting of Issued Interests. 
 (a) Time Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, all of the outstanding Issued Interests shall become vested on December 31, 2015, but only so long as Executive
remains continuously employed by the Company, VWR or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the date hereof through December 31, 2015. 
 (b) Certain Terminations Without Cause. If a Separation occurs as a result of a termination by the Company, VWR or any of their respective Subsidiaries without Cause after the Determination Date
(as defined in Exhibit D attached hereto) and prior to December 31, 2015, then all of the outstanding Issued Interests shall vest upon such termination. 
 (c) Termination by Death or Disability. If a Separation occurs by reason of Executive’s death or Disability, 50% of the outstanding unvested Issued Interests will instead vest as of the
Separation Date (with no unvested Issued Interests vesting thereafter). 
 (d) Sale of the Company. All of the
outstanding Issued Interests shall vest upon a Sale of the Company. 

  
 3 

 (e) IPO. Upon the occurrence of a Public Offering or Subsidiary Public Offering (in
either case, an “IPO”), 50% of the outstanding unvested Issued Interests will instead vest as of the consummation of the IPO, provided that Executive is employed by the Company, VWR or any of their respective Subsidiaries as of the
occurrence of the IPO. All remaining outstanding unvested Issued Interests will continue to vest in accordance with Section 2(a). 
 (f) Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2(a), (d) or (e), in the event that all or a portion of the Issued Interests have not vested on or prior to a Separation
Date, such unvested Issued Interests shall remain unvested, and no unvested Issued Interests shall vest thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issued Interests are initially all unvested and may only become vested in the manner specified in
this Section 2 and no Issued Interests may vest more than once. 
 (g) Certain Definitions. The Issued
Interests that have become vested pursuant to this Section 2 are referred to herein as “Vested Units.” All Issued Interests that have not vested pursuant to this Section 2 are referred to herein as
“Unvested Units.” All Vested Units that have been vested for less than six months as of the Separation Date, if any, are referred to herein collectively as “Immature Vested Units.” 

3. Forfeitures. The Issued Interests are subject to each of the independent forfeiture provisions of this Section 3
and each of them shall apply to the Issued Interests, in each case, whether held by Executive or one or more of Executive’s transferees (other than the Company and the Investors). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Issued Interest is forfeited
pursuant to this Section 3, upon such forfeiture, it shall cease to constitute an Issued Interest, it shall no longer be outstanding and it may not become vested pursuant to Section 2. 

(a) Upon the Determination Date, Executive shall forfeit outstanding Issued Interests in accordance with Exhibit D attached hereto
and made a part hereof. 
 (b) In the event of a Separation, the Unvested Units (determined after giving effect to any vesting
that occurs upon such Separation pursuant to Section 2(b) or (c)) shall be automatically forfeited upon such Separation for no consideration and no payment shall be due in respect thereof. 

(c) If Executive does not remain employed in an Eligible Role during the entire Measurement Period but does remain employed by the
Company, VWR or any of their respective Subsidiaries, then upon ceasing to remain in an Eligible Role, the following percentage of the outstanding Issued Interests shall be automatically forfeited: 

(i) 75% if Executive ceases to be in an Eligible Role through the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013; 

(ii) 50% if Executive ceases to be in an Eligible Role through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013; and

  
 4 

 (iii) 25% if Executive ceases to be in an Eligible Role through the fiscal
quarter ending September 30, 2013. 
 4. Repurchase Option. 

(a) In the event of a Qualifying Separation, the Vested Units (whether held by Executive or one or more of Executive’s transferees,
other than the Company and the Investors) will be subject to repurchase, in each case by the Company and the Investors pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4 and in Section 5 (the “Repurchase
Option”). “Qualifying Separation” means any Separation (other than a termination of Executive’s employment without Cause by the Company, VWR or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the Determination Date and
prior to December 31, 2015). If there is a Subsidiary Public Offering and the securities of such Subsidiary are distributed to the members of the Company, then such Subsidiary will be treated as the Company for purposes of this
Section 4 and Section 5 with respect to any repurchase of the securities of such Subsidiary. 
 (b) In
the event of a Qualifying Separation, the Company (with the approval of the Board in the case of any repurchase in excess of $100,000) may irrevocably elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Vested Units (subject to
Section 5(b), other than Immature Vested Units, if any) pursuant to this Section 4 and Section 5 by delivering written notice (a “Company Repurchase Notice”) to the holder or holders of such
securities within a period of 90 days after the Separation Date (such period, a “Repurchase Option Period”). Any Company Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of units of each class to be acquired from each holder, the
aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. 
 (c) If for any
reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Vested Units pursuant to the Repurchase Option, the Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for all, but not less than all, of the Vested Units (subject to
Section 5(b), other than Immature Vested Units, if any) that the Company has not elected to purchase (collectively, “Available Securities”). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that it will not
exercise the Repurchase Option with respect to the Available Securities, but in any event within 20 days prior to the expiration of the applicable Repurchase Option Period, the Company shall give written notice (an “Option Notice”)
to the Investors setting forth the number of units of each class the Investors are entitled to purchase and the purchase price for each type of the Available Securities. The Investors may irrevocably elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of
the Vested Units (subject to Section 5(b), other than Immature Vested Units, if any), if any, that are Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days after receiving the Option Notice. If more than one
Investor elects to purchase an aggregate number of Available Securities of a class or type greater than the number of Available Securities of such class or type, the Available Securities to be purchased by each such Investor shall be allocated among
such Investors based upon the number of Class A Common Units owned by each Investor. If the Investors have elected to purchase any Available Securities, within 10 days after the expiration of the 20-day period set forth above, the Company shall
notify each holder of 

  
 5 

 
Vested Units as to the number of units of each class each Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction (the
“Investor Repurchase Notice”). At the time the Company delivers the Investor Repurchase Notice to the holder(s) of Vested Units, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Investor setting forth the number of units of
each class such Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. 
 (d) The closing of the purchase of the Vested Units pursuant to an exercise of the Repurchase Option shall take place on the later of the date designated by the Company in the applicable Company
Repurchase Notice or the applicable Investor Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than 15 days after the later of the delivery of the applicable Company Repurchase Notice or the applicable Investor Repurchase Notice,
as applicable. The Company and each Investor, as the case may be, will pay the purchase price for the Vested Units to be purchased by it pursuant to the Repurchase Option by check(s) or wire transfer(s) of good and immediately available funds. The
Company and the Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties with respect to title and enforceability from the sellers regarding such sale. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 4 will terminate with respect to all Issued Interests (other than Unvested Units) upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering and with respect to
all Issued Interests upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company. 
 5. Other Terms Applicable to the Repurchase
Option. 
 (a) In the event of a Separation, in connection with the exercise of a Repurchase Option, the purchase price for
each Vested Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the sending of the applicable Company Repurchase Notice or the applicable Investor Repurchase Notice; provided that if Executive’s employment is terminated
with Cause, then each Vested Unit shall be automatically forfeited for no consideration, and no payment shall be due in respect thereof. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Company may exercise the Repurchase Option with respect to any Immature Vested Units at any time during the eight-month period
following the Separation Date on a basis consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 4 and this Section 5 and for such units the Repurchase Option Period shall instead be such eight-month period and (ii) the
Investors may exercise the Repurchase Option with respect to any Immature Vested Units that are Available Securities consistent with Section 4 and Section 5 and the applicable Repurchase Option Period for such exercise shall
be the eight-month period as provided in the prior clause (i). 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, all repurchases of Vested Units by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law or such other
governing corporate or limited liability company law, and in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ debt financing agreements. If any 

  
 6 

 
such restrictions prohibit (i) the repurchase of Vested Units hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled or required to make or (ii) dividends or other transfers of funds from
one or more Subsidiaries to the Company to enable such repurchases, then the time periods provided in Sections 4 and this Section 5 shall be suspended, and the Company may make such purchases at the applicable purchase price
therefore determined as of the time of repurchase, as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may pay all or any portion of the purchase price to be paid by it as a result of its exercise of a Repurchase Option by distributing to Executive securities issued by
VWR Investors, Inc. or any other direct Subsidiary of the Company, so long as VWR Investors, Inc. or such Subsidiary directly or indirectly owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, as provided in
Section 4.7 of the LLC Agreement. 
 6. Restrictions on Transfer of Issued Interests. The Issued Interests
shall be subject to the restrictions on Transfer of such units in the LLC Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement and the holders of Issued Interests shall not Transfer any interest in any Issued Interests, except in accordance with such

 9. Additional Provisions Applicable to Non-US
Residents. If Executive is a resident (as indicated by the address for notices to Executive set forth on the signature page hereto) of a country other than the United States, the provisions of Annex 1 attached hereto, if any, shall also
be applicable to Executive and the Company and shall constitute a part of this Agreement as if set forth herein. 
 10.
General Provisions. 
 (a) Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Issued
Interests in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Issued Interests as the owner of such securities for any purpose.

 (b) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein. 
 (c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein,
the other documents of even date herewith, and the other Transaction Documents embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the
parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. Any rights of Executive against VWR or its Affiliates or otherwise to acquire or be granted capital stock of VWR or options exercisable for capital stock of
VWR or restricted stock units or deferred share units with respect to the equity of VWR shall be superseded by this Agreement. As of the date hereof, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or subject or any
judgment, order or decree to which the Company is subject. 
 (d) No Strict Construction. The language used in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. 

  
 11 

 (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the
same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. 
 (f) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company, Executive and the Investors and their
respective successors and assigns (including subsequent holders of Issued Interests); provided that the rights and obligations of Executive under this Agreement shall not be assignable except in connection with a permitted transfer of Issued
Interests hereunder. 
 (g) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of Delaware. 
 (h) Consent to Jurisdiction. Executive irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of
the United States District Court for the State of Delaware and the state courts of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Executive further
agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States certified or registered mail to Executive’s Address and to Executive’s address set forth in the Company’s books and records or such other address or to
the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party shall be effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has
submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Executive irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby in the United States District Court for the State of Delaware or the state courts of the State of Delaware and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (i) MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION
RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE
COMPANY) HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN 

  
 12 

 
CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER. 
 (j) Further Action. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take
or refrain from taking such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement. 
 (k)
Remedies. Each of the parties to this Agreement (and the Investors as third-party beneficiaries) will be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages caused by any breach of any provision of this
Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole
discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.
In the event of a contest between the Company and Executive regarding a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement in which Executive substantially prevails, then the Company agrees to pay (within ten business days of receipt of an invoice from
Executive), all legal fees and expenses that Executive has incurred as a result of such contest.

PROTECTIVE ELECTION TO INCLUDE MEMBERSHIP 
 INTEREST IN GROSS INCOME PURSUANT TO 
 SECTION 83(b) OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 
 On March 29, 2013 (the “Acquisition Date”), the undersigned acquired a
limited liability company membership interest (the “Membership Interest”) in Varietal Distribution Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), for $0.00. Pursuant to the Limited Liability
Company Agreement of the Company, the undersigned is entitled to an interest in Company capital exactly equal to the amount paid therefor and an interest in Company profits. 
 Based on current Treasury Regulation §1.721-1(b), Proposed Treasury Regulation §1.721-1(b)(1) and Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43, the undersigned does not believe that issuance of the
Membership Interest to the undersigned is subject to the provisions of §83 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). In the event that the sale is so treated, however, the undersigned desires to make an election to have the
receipt of the Membership Interest taxed under the provisions of Code §83(b) at the time the undersigned acquired the Membership Interest. 
 Therefore, pursuant to Code §83(b) and Treasury Regulation §1.83-2 promulgated thereunder, the undersigned hereby makes an election, with respect to the Membership Interest, to report as taxable
income for the calendar year 2013 the excess (if any) of the value of the Membership Interest on the Acquisition Date over the purchase price thereof. 
 The following information is supplied in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.83-2(e): 
  

	1.	The name, address and social security number of the undersigned: 

  

							
		 	  
	 	
			
		 	  
	 	
			
		 	  
	 	
				
		 	SS #:	 	  
	 	

  

	2.	A description of the property with respect to which the election is being made: A membership interest in the Company entitling the undersigned to an interest in the
Company’s capital exactly equal to the amount paid therefore and a percentage of the Company’s profits. 

  

	3.	The date on which the Membership Interest was transferred: the Acquisition Date. The taxable year for which such election is made: 2013. 

	4.	The restrictions to which the property is subject: If the undersigned ceases to be employed by the Company, VWR or any of their respective subsidiaries, unvested units
are subject to forfeiture. The units are also subject to forfeiture based on the Company’s achievement of performance objectives and based on the undersigned’s employment in a particular employee role. 

 

	5.	The fair market value on the Acquisition Date of the property with respect to which the election is being made, determined without regard to any lapse restrictions and
in accordance with Revenue Procedure 93-27: $0.00. 

  

	6.	The amount paid or to be paid for such property: $0.00. 

 *    *    *    *    * 

 A copy of this election is being furnished to the Company pursuant to Treasury Regulation
§ 1.83-2(e)(7). A copy of this election will be submitted with the 2013 federal income tax return of the undersigned pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.83-2(c), if any.

OBJECTIVES 
 Prior to or promptly following the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the annual audited financial statements of VWR for the Measurement Period, the Board or the Committee will, if
Executive then holds outstanding Issued Interests, determine: 
 (i) the actual amount of Executive’s payout
pursuant to his or her MIP Statement (as defined below) (the “Actual Payout Amount”); 
 (ii)
Executive’s potential MIP award at 100% goal achievement pursuant to his or her MIP Statement, as adjusted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the MIP Statement (the “Potential Payout Amount”); 

(iii) the result of the Actual Payout Amount, divided by the Potential Payout Amount (such quotient, the
“Performance Percentage”), provided that the Performance Percentage shall instead equal 100% if the Actual Payout Amount exceeds the Potential Payout Amount; and 

(iv) the result of (a) 100%, minus the Performance Percentage, multiplied by (b) the number of outstanding
Issued Interests (such result, the “Forfeiture Amount”). 
 The date that the Board or the Committee makes the
determinations set forth above is referred to herein as the “Determination Date.” On the Determination Date, a number of outstanding Issued Interests equal to the Forfeiture Amount shall be automatically forfeited for no
consideration and no payment shall be due in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing forfeiture shall apply to the Issued Interests whether or not they are vested or unvested. The Board or the Committee may delegate all or a part
of its duties and role as contemplated by this exhibit to one or more officers of the Company, VWR or their respective Subsidiaries. 
 This exhibit shall be deemed a part of the Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 10(u) of the Agreement shall apply to this exhibit. Reference is made to the VWR 2013 Management
Incentive Plan (MIP) Statement sent by the Company, VWR or a Subsidiary thereof to Executive on or about the date hereof (the “MIP Statement”). In the event that Executive received more than one MIP Statement, the most recent MIP
Statement shall be deemed to be the MIP Statement for purposes of this Agreement and shall supersede any prior MIP Statements. 

 ANNEX 1 
 SUPPLEMENTAL PROVISIONS FOR NON-US RESIDENTS

resident (as indicated by the address for notices to Executive set forth on the signature page hereto) of a country other than the United States, Executive represents, warrants and/or covenants to the Company as follows: (A) Executive is not a
“U.S. person” (as defined in Rule 902 as promulgated under the Securities Act), (B) Executive is not acquiring any Issued Interests for the account or benefit of any person who is a U.S. person, and the issuance of the Issued
Interests to Executive constitutes an “Offshore Transaction,” as defined in Rule 902 as promulgated under the Securities Act, (C) Executive will only transfer or resell the Issued Interests, in whole or in part, in accordance with the
Plan, this Agreement, the LLC Agreement, the Securityholders Agreement and (1) the provisions of Regulation S (Rule 901 through 905) and the Preliminary Notes (as defined in Regulation S), (2) pursuant to registration under the Securities
Act, or (3) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (D) Executive will not engage in hedging transactions with regard to any Issued Interests unless in compliance with the Securities Act

 The shareholders of Varietal Management Services GmbH (“Varietal Management Services”) intend to appoint you as Managing Director of Varietal Management Services as of April 3, 2013 (the
“Appointment Date”). The following are the terms of your employment as Managing Director with Varietal Management Services, pursuant to which you shall also provide services to VWR International, LLC (“VWR International”) and its
various affiliates, including its parent companies. As used herein, “VWR” shall collectively refer to Varietal Management Services, VWR International, and all of their various affiliates, and each may be referred to herein as a “VWR
Entity.” This letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) shall commence April 3, 2013. 
  

			
	Position:	  	Managing Director and General Counsel of Varietal Management Services, Hilpertstrasse 20a, 64295 Darmstadt, Germany. Additionally, you shall serve as the President, Chief Executive
Officer, and Member of the Board of Managers of VWR International and the Boards of each of its parent companies, including Varietal Distribution Holdings, LLC. You shall not receive any compensation or other consideration in addition to that

terminate effective on the Appointment Date.
		
	Base Salary:	  	$800,000 (gross) per year, payable in installments on regular payroll dates. Your base salary and any bonus earned shall be payable in U.S. Dollars in the United States or in Euros
in Germany as determined from time to time by VWR to facilitate the administration of required tax payments.

Board of Managers of VWR International may request.

bonus of 200% of base salary.
		
	Benefits:	  	You will be entitled to participate in all vacation, health, welfare and other similar benefits as may be established for senior executives of Varietal Management Services, such
benefits to be, in the aggregate, comparable in economic value to those benefits available to senior executives of VWR International. Such benefits shall include a minimum entitlement to six weeks of vacation per year.
		
	Pension:	  	Varietal Management Services hereby agrees to assume from VWR Management Services, GmbH, the obligations under, and agrees to pay your pension, pursuant to the terms of the Merck
KGaA pension plan in which you participated and which payment obligation was transferred from Merck KGaA to VWR International GmbH in April of 2004, and which was subsequently transferred from VWR International GmbH to VWR Management Services GmbH
& Co. KG. The pension obligation described in the preceding sentence is not intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
		
	Severance/Restrictive Covenants:	  	If, without offer of comparable employment by another VWR Entity, your employment with Varietal Management Services is terminated (i) by Varietal Management Services without Cause
(as defined on Annex 1) or (ii) by you for Good Reason (as defined on Annex 1), you will be entitled to receive (A) an aggregate amount equal to two times the sum of your base salary then in effect and your target bonus for the year in
which such termination occurs, payable in equal installments on VWR’s regular payroll dates during a period of twelve months after such termination and (B) continued health benefits for a period of eighteen months after such termination. The
payments (and benefits) described in the immediately preceding sentence that are due to be paid (or provided) more than sixty (60) days after your termination are subject to your execution of a general release in the form attached to this Letter
Agreement as Annex 2 no later than fifty (50) days after your termination. You agree to be subject to those restrictions set forth on Annex 1 attached hereto, which are a part of this Letter Agreement (the “Employee
Covenants”).

  
 2 

			
		  	 If you incur a Disability (as defined on Annex 1), you will be entitled to receive a gross lump-sum payment, as soon as practicable
following your Disability but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Disability is incurred, in an amount equal to the target amount of your bonus for the year in which such Disability is
incurred, prorated for the portion of such year during which you were employed with Varietal Management Services or any other then employing VWR Entity.
  

If your employment with Varietal Management Services is terminated by reason of your death, your beneficiary or estate, as applicable, will be entitled to
receive a gross lump-sum payment as soon as practicable following your death but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which your death occurs, in an amount equal to the target amount of your bonus
for the year in which your death occurs, prorated for the portion of such year during which you were employed by Varietal Management Services.
  

You shall be under no obligation to seek other employment for any reason or to mitigate any severance payments following a termination of your employment
with Varietal Management Services for any reason. In addition, there shall be no offset against amounts due to you upon termination of your employment with Varietal Management Services on account of any compensation attributable to any employment
subsequent to your employment with Varietal Management Services. Either you or VWR may terminate your employment with Varietal Management Services at any time with a notice period of one month to the end of a calendar month.

 
 Except as provided above in this Severance/Restrictive Covenants section, you shall
not be entitled to any other salary, compensation or benefits from VWR after termination of your employment with Varietal Management Services, except as otherwise specifically provided for in VWR’s employee benefit plans applicable to you or as
otherwise expressly required by applicable law.
  
 Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if any payments due under this Severance/Restrictive Covenants section would subject you to any tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code as a result of your characterization as a “specified employee” of VWR
(within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)), then such payments that would otherwise cause such taxation shall be payable in a single lump sum on the first business day that is six months following your “separation from
service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder), and any remaining payments will be made in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section.

		
	280G:	  	If, at the time of any Change of Control (as defined on Annex 1),

  
 3 

			
		  	 VWR (or any successor thereto) is a Public Company (as defined on Annex 1) and you are liable for the payment of any excise tax
(the “Basic Excise Tax”) pursuant to Code Section 4999, or any successor or like provision, with respect to any payment or property transfers received or to be received hereunder or otherwise, VWR shall pay you an amount (the
“Special Reimbursement”) which, after payment to you (or on your behalf) of any federal, state and local taxes, including, without limitation, any further excise tax under said Section 4999, with respect to or resulting from the
Special Reimbursement, equals the net amount of the Basic Excise Tax.
  
 If,
at the time of any Change of Control, VWR (or any successor thereto) is not a Public Company and you are liable for any Basic Excise Tax and (i) you have executed a waiver in a form prepared by and determined by VWR in its sole discretion pursuant
to which you irrevocably and unconditionally relinquish any and all rights you may have to receive or retain any “excess parachute payments” as that term is defined in Code Section 280G(b)(1) (“280G Waiver”) and (ii) (A)
VWR does not submit to its shareholders for a separate vote a proposal to approve, in compliance with the requirements of Code Section 280G(b)(5)(B) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q & A 7, your conditional right to receive or retain
such waived amounts (“280 Vote”), or (B) such vote is not conducted in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q & A 7 and is not respected by the Internal Revenue Service, then VWR shall pay you the Special
Reimbursement.
  
 For the avoidance of doubt, if, at the time of any Change
of Control, VWR (or any successor thereto) is not a Public Company and you are liable for any Basic Excise Tax and (i) you have executed a 280G Waiver, (ii) VWR does submit to its shareholders a 280G Vote, and (iii) the VWR shareholders do not
approve your right to receive or retain such waived amounts by the necessary margin, then you will not be entitled to receive or to retain any waived amounts or to receive the Special Reimbursement.

 
 Any Special Reimbursement hereunder shall be paid to you by VWR not later than the
last day of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which you remit the Basic Excise Tax.

		
	Insurance and Indemnification:	  	VWR shall maintain adequate D&O liability insurance coverage, but in no event in an amount less than $100 million for all occurrences. You will be provided with contractual
indemnification rights to the fullest extent of applicable law.
		
	Legal Fees:	  	In the event of a contest between you and VWR during your lifetime regarding a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, VWR agrees to pay (within ten business days of receipt of
an invoice from you) all reasonable legal fees and expenses that you have incurred as a result of such contest; provided, however, that if you do not substantially

  
 4 

			
		  	prevail in such contest, you agree to reimburse VWR for any such payments, and VWR shall make no further payments under this paragraph. The amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement under this paragraph during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.
		
	Personal Services Agreement:	  	As a condition of your employment, you shall execute a Personal Services, Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A.
		
	Entire Agreement:	  	This Letter Agreement (including any Annexes attached hereto) and the Personal Services, Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement referenced above set forth the entire understanding
between you and VWR with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and preempt all prior oral or written understandings and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof between you and VWR, which shall
terminate and be of no further effect upon the execution of this Letter Agreement.
		
	Tax Matters:	  	 VWR will provide support in the preparation of your tax filings in your country of residence (Germany) and your primary work location
(U.S.). This benefit will be provided only while performing in the role of Chief Executive Officer of VWR International.
  
 In the event that your aggregate income tax liability in Germany and the U.S. exceeds the amount of income tax you would otherwise have been obligated to pay if your entire income were earned in Germany,
VWR will reimburse you the amount of any such excess, including any incremental taxes.

		
	Code Section 409A:	  	This Letter Agreement will be interpreted to avoid any tax under Code Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under the Severance/Restrictive Covenants section
of this Letter Agreement will be treated as a separate payment. With respect to any reimbursements provided under this Letter Agreement that are subject to Section 409A, (i) the reimbursement set forth under “Legal Fees” applies
only to the eligible amounts that are incurred during your lifetime, and (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year cannot affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year.

 PERSONAL SERVICES, CONFIDENTIALITY AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is between VWR International, LLC (“VWR International”) and
Varietal Management Services GmbH (“Varietal Management Services”), on the one hand, and Manuel Brocke-Benz (“Executive” or “I”), on the other hand. Varietal Management Services, VWR International and
their affiliates shall be referred to herein as “VWR.” 
 VWR’s sound business policy requires
that its trade secrets, technical and non-technical know-how, business knowledge, plans, systems, business methods, business records and customer relations to be protected and not utilized by any person or firm who competes or wants to compete with
VWR. The parties wish to evidence the terms of the employment and other business relationships between them and particularly to set forth certain restrictions which shall apply to Executive in the event of termination of his/her employment with VWR.

 In consideration of and as part of the terms of employment by Varietal Management Services and his positions
with VWR International, it is agreed as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Compensation and Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to a salary, annual bonus and other monetary compensation, which has been established by Varietal
Management Services at the inception of employment, and may be periodically thereafter adjusted for increase only or as Executive and VWR may jointly agree. Executive shall also be entitled to participate in various VWR employee benefit plans (for
example, health insurance, retirement, and the like), in accordance with the participation requirements of said plans, and nothing contained herein shall confer benefit eligibility which is in any manner inconsistent with the terms of the benefit
plans. 

  

	 	2.	Executive’s General Obligations; Conflicts of Interest. During my employment with Varietal Management Services and while serving in other executive
capacities with VWR, I agree to devote substantially all my working time during normal business hours to VWR. During my employment with Varietal Management Services and other association with VWR, I agree to use my best efforts to perform the duties
associated with my positions and titles with VWR as VWR may direct, not to engage in any other business or activity the nature of which shall be determined by VWR to be competitive with VWR, its suppliers or its customers and to comply with any
Conflict of Interest Policy of VWR; provided that, with the approval of VWR, which such approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, I may serve on the board of directors of one public company. I further agree to conform to all VWR
policies, practices, and procedures, to the extent such policies, practices and procedures have been provided to me in writing, as well as lawful directions of VWR and/or its affiliates as to performance of services for VWR, to the extent that the
same are consistent with my positions and titles with VWR. 

  

	 	3.	No Existing Restrictive Agreements. I represent that I am not a party to any contract limiting my present or future right to work or perform services for VWR or
to perform such activities as shall be required from time to time by VWR. 

  

	 	4.	 Prior Employer Information. I agree that I will not use improperly or disclose any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of
my former or current employers, principals, partners, co-venturers, customers, or suppliers, or the vendors 

	 	
or customers of such persons or entities, and I will not violate any nondisclosure or proprietary rights agreement I might have signed in connection with any such employer, person or entity.

  

	 	5.	Non-Disclosure of Information. I recognize that, in the performance of my duties with VWR, Confidential Information belonging to VWR will come into my
possession, including, without limitation, information regarding business methods, plan, systems, customer lists and customer relations, vendor lists and vendor relations, cost and pricing information, distribution and logistical information, and
other information relating to the business of VWR that is not known to the general public. I recognize that the business of VWR is materially dependent upon the relationship between VWR and its customers who are serviced by its associates and that
VWR will entrust me with Confidential Information, which must remain the property of VWR. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean the trade secrets, technical and non-technical know-how, technical and
business knowledge and information, plans and systems, business methods, customer lists and customer relations of VWR, including but not limited to research, development, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, data processing, engineering,

information that is or becomes publicly known or that enters the public domain other than as a result of my breach of my obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between me and VWR. I agree that I will not at any time hereafter
disclose Confidential Information to third parties or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than to further VWR’s business, except as is required by law, any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental agency or authority
or recognized subpoena power. 

  

	 	6.	Assignment of Inventions. I will make prompt and full disclosure to VWR International, will hold in trust for the sole benefit of VWR, and will assign,
exclusively to VWR all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, discoveries, designs, developments, improvements, copyrightable material, and trade secrets (collectively herein “Inventions”) that I, solely or
jointly, may conceive, develop, or reduce to practice during the period of time I am in the employ of or otherwise professionally associated with VWR. I hereby waive and quitclaim to VWR any and all claims of any nature whatsoever that I now or
hereafter may have for infringement of any patent resulting from any patent applications for any Inventions so assigned to VWR to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

My obligation to assign shall not apply to any Invention about which I can prove that: 

 

	 	(a)	it was developed entirely on my own time; and 

  

	 	(b)	no equipment, supplies, facility, services, or trade secret information of VWR were used in its development; and 

 

	 	(c)	it does not relate (i) directly to the business of VWR or (ii) to the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of VWR; and

  

	 	(d)	it does not result from any work performed by me for VWR. 

  
 2 

	 	7.	Excluded and Licensed Inventions. I have attached hereto a list describing all Inventions belonging to me and made by me prior to my employment with Varietal
Management Services that I wish to have excluded from this Agreement. If no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such Inventions. If in the course of my employment at VWR, I incorporate into a VWR product, process, or machine, an
Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, VWR is hereby granted and shall have an exclusive royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license to make, have made, use, and sell that Invention without restriction as to the extent of my
ownership or interest. 

  

	 	8.	Application for Copyrights and Patents. I will execute any proper oath or verify any proper document in connection with carrying out the terms of this Agreement.
If, because of my mental or physical condition or for any other reason whatsoever, VWR is unable to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patent or copyright covering Inventions assigned to
VWR as stated above, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint VWR and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for me and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of U.S. and foreign patents and copyrights thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I will testify at VWR’s request and expense in any interference,
litigation, or other legal proceeding that may arise during or after my employment. 

  

	 	9.	Third Party Information. I recognize that VWR has received and will receive confidential or proprietary information from third parties subject to a duty on
VWR’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. This information shall be deemed not to include shall not include any information that is or becomes publicly known or that enters
the public domain other than as a result of my breach of my obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between me and VWR. During the term of my employment and thereafter I will not disclose nor use such information for the benefit of
anyone other than VWR or such third party, or in any manner inconsistent with any agreement between VWR and such third party of which I am made aware, except as is required by law, any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental agency or
authority or recognized subpoena power. 

  

	 	10.	Termination. I acknowledge that this Agreement shall not constitute a contract for employment for any specific period of time, and that either VWR or I am free
to terminate this Agreement, and employment relationship, “at will,” at any time, with or without cause. I agree that upon termination of this Agreement and my employment, for any or no reason, I will promptly return to VWR all records of
Confidential Information, including copies in my possession, and all other physical properties issued to me as an employee, in a reasonable state of function or repair. I will also so return any keys, pass cards, identification cards or other
property belonging to VWR. I shall have no right of retention. 

  

	 	11.	Non-Waiver. The failure by VWR to enforce any of the provisions hereof upon any default by me at a particular time or under certain circumstances shall not be
treated as a permanent waiver of such provisions and shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of such provisions upon default by either party. 

  
 3 

	 	12.	Irreparable Harm. I agree that any proven breach of this Agreement by me would cause irreparable harm to VWR for which monetary damages could not adequately
compensate. If VWR proves a breach, irreparable harm shall be presumed and I expressly waive any bonding requirement as a prerequisite to VWR obtaining injunctive relief. VWR can also seek damages. 

 

	 	13.	Assignability of This Agreement. The services contracted for between Varietal Management Services, VWR International, and me in this Agreement are personal, and
therefore I may not assign this Agreement to any other person or entity. This Agreement may, however, be assigned by Varietal Management Services or VWR International to a successor to their business. 

 

	 	14.	Severability. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by local, state, and/or federal law in
the jurisdiction in which performance of this Agreement occurs, or in which performance of this Agreement is sought to be enforced. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that one or more provisions of this Agreement are not
enforceable under the provisions of the jurisdiction in which performance occurs or enforcement is sought, such a determination shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. 

 

	 	15.	Other Agreements. This Agreement, together with the letter agreement, dated April 3, 2013, between me and Varietal Management Services (the “Letter
Agreement”), sets forth the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements, whether oral, written, or implied, entered into by me and VWR (or any of the entities comprising
“VWR”), pertaining to my employment, the terms, conditions, and responsibilities thereof, and/or any other subject matter contained in this Agreement or the Letter Agreement. This Agreement and the Letter Agreement shall be considered
together as one agreement. There will be no modification of this Agreement, either verbal, implied, written, or otherwise, except through a written agreement signed by me, and an officer of VWR International, which refers to the specific paragraph
of this Agreement intended to be modified, and sets forth, in writing, the specific modification of said paragraph.

 Annex 1 - Employee Covenants 

1. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. You acknowledge that in the course of your employment with Varietal Management Services or
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates you will become familiar with Varietal Management Services’ and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning Varietal Management Services and
such Subsidiaries and Affiliates and that your services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Varietal Management Services and such Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Therefore, you agree that: 

(a) Noncompetition. During the Employment Period and for a period of eighteen months thereafter, you shall not
directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world, own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for or enter into employment with any distributor with annual sales revenue exceeding $200,000,000 in the laboratory supplies industry
(the “Business”). Nothing herein shall prohibit you from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as you have no active participation in the
business of such corporation. 
 (b) Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Period and for a period of
eighteen months thereafter, you shall not directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Varietal Management Services or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to leave the employ of Varietal Management Services or any
such Subsidiary or Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Varietal Management Services or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of Varietal Management
Services or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates within 180 days after such person’s separation from employment, (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of Varietal Management Services
or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to cease doing business with Varietal Management Services or such Subsidiary or Affiliate or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and
Varietal Management Services or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (iv) directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business relating to the Business and with which Varietal Management Services or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates has entertained discussions relating to the acquisition of such business by Varietal Management Services or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the twelve month period immediately preceding a Separation. 

(c) Compensation. Varietal Management Services is obliged to pay you a monthly compensation for the period of the
post-contractual Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation (eighteen months after the Separation) according to aforementioned Sections 1(a) and 1(b) in the amount of half of your last contractual Base Salary. The compensation is paid at the end of each
month. Payments according to this Section 1(c) will be set off against possible claims according to the “Severance/Restrictive Covenants” section of this Letter Agreement. Any income you receive during the period of the
post-contractual Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation from using your working capacity will be deducted from this compensation according to this Section 1(c) in application of § 74 c HGB (German code of commercial law). You shall inform VWR
International without demand to the end of the respective quarter year, if so, to which amount you receive any other income. At VWR International`s request, you have to substantiate this information. VWR International may at any time issue to you a
written waiver of this post-contractual Noncompetition. In that case, the obligation to pay compensation according to this Section 1(c) shall expire 6 months after issuance of 

 
such waiver. Unless otherwise provided above, Sections 74 et seq. of the HGB [German Commercial Code] shall apply accordingly. 

(d) Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 1(a) or 1(b), a court holds that the
restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or
area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because your services are unique and because you shall have access to confidential information, the
parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Annex 1. Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this Annex 1, Varietal Management Services or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates or their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent
any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). 
 (e) Additional
Acknowledgments. You acknowledge that the provisions of Sections 1(a) and 1(b) are in consideration of: (i) employment with Varietal Management Services and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and (ii) additional good and
valuable consideration, including the payment of salary and bonus, as set forth in this Letter Agreement. In addition, you agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) do not preclude you from earning
a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on your ability to earn a living. In addition, you acknowledge (A) that the business of Varietal Management Services and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be conducted throughout the
world, (B) notwithstanding the location of incorporation or principal office of Varietal Management Services or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their respective executives or employees (including you), it is expected that
Varietal Management Services and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within its industry throughout the world, and (C) as part of your responsibilities, you will be traveling
throughout the world in furtherance of Varietal Management Services’ and its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ business and relationships. You agree and acknowledge that the potential harm to Varietal Management Services and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the non-enforcement of Sections 1(a) and 1(b) outweighs any potential harm to you of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. You acknowledge that you have carefully read this Annex 1 and have
given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon you by this Annex 1, and are in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of Varietal Management Services
and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates now existing or to be developed in the future. You expressly acknowledge and agree that each and every restraint imposed by this Annex 1 is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and
geographical area.
