Such Shelf shall provide

and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit all Holders named therein to sell their

Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods
legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under

filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar

stockholders for the Registrable Securities so distributed (but shall refrain from individually naming such GS ESC PIPE Investor Distributee to the extent permitted by applicable laws) and such Shelf shall be subject to the terms hereof.

 2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. Subject to
Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, the Vertiv Holder, the GS Sponsor Member or the Cote Sponsor Member (the Vertiv Holder, the GS Sponsor Member or the
Cote Sponsor Member being in such case a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten
Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include either (x) Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either

may each demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this subsection 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any
Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum
dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such
maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any shares of Common Stock or other
equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of
Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have

the GS Sponsor Member or the Cote Sponsor Member may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten
Shelf Takedown by the Vertiv Holder, the GS Sponsor Member, the Cote Sponsor Member or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf
Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of subsection 2.1.4, unless either (i) such Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) such Demanding Holder reimburses the Company
for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each
Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); provided that, if the Vertiv Holder, the GS Sponsor Member or the Cote Sponsor Member elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso
in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Vertiv Holder, the GS Sponsor Member or the Cote Sponsor Member, as applicable, for purposes of subsection
2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that
the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with
persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of
Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of
Registrable Securities hereunder, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then: 
 (a) if the Registration or registered
offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to
register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has
not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back
registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; 

  
 12 

 (b) if the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a demand by
persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting
persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the
foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has
requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a
registered offering has been requested pursuant to the piggy-back registration rights, if any, of the Other PIPE Investors set forth in the Other PIPE Investors Subscription Agreement, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Securities; (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (E) fifth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), the shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder or the
Other PIPE Investors, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and 
 (c) if the Registration or
registered offering and Underwritten Shelf Takedown is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1.4 hereof, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered
offering securities in the priority set forth in subsection 2.1.5. 
 2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of
Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by subsection 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration
for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect
to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a
Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include a Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement (other than subsection 2.1.6), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3. 

  
 13 

 2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to
subsection 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under subsection 2.1.4 hereof. 

2.3 Market Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of Common Stock of the
Company (other than a Block Trade), if requested by the Underwriters managing the offering, each Holder that is an executive officer or director of the Company or the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company, and any other Holder reasonably requested by the managing Underwriter, agrees not to, and to execute a customary lock-up agreement (in each case on substantially the same terms and
conditions as all such Holders, including customary waiver “mfn” provisions) in favor of the managing Underwriters to not, sell or dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to
this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such
offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. 

2.4 Block Trades. 
 2.4.1
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in
an underwritten registered offering not involving a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”), with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either
(x) $40 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then such Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Block Trade at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is
to commence and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage
in the Block Trade shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation
related to the Block Trade. 
 2.4.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used
in connection with a Block Trade, any Demanding Holder initiating such Block Trade shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a block trade prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.4.2. 

  
 14 

 2.4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
Section 2.2 shall not apply to a Block Trade initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement. 
 2.4.4
The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks). 

ARTICLE III 
 COMPANY
PROCEDURES

Securities registered on such Registration Statement) or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or

Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

 15 

 3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification)
and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations
of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such
jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to
general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject; 
 3.1.5 cause all such

reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; 
 3.1.8 at
least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or such shorter period of time as may be necessary in order to comply with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel (excluding any exhibits thereto
and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein); 
 3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a
Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a
Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4; 
 3.1.10 permit a representative
of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or
Underwriters agree to confidentiality arrangements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; 

  
 16 

 3.1.11 in connection with such Registration, including in the event of (x) an
Underwritten Offering, (y) a Block Trade or (z) a sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent (subject to such broker, placement agent or sales agent provided such certification or representation reasonably requested by the
Company’s independent registered public accountants and the Company’s counsel), request the Company’s independent registered public accountants to provide a “cold comfort” letter, in customary form and covering such matters
of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders and the
applicable broker, placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any; 
 3.1.12 in connection with such Registration,
including in the event of (x) an Underwritten Offering, (y) a Block Trade or (z) a sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company
for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders and to the broker, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of
which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, or such broker, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably
satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders; 

3.1.13 enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement or distribution agreement, in usual and customary form, with the
managing Underwriter or the broker, placement agent or sales agent of such offering or sale; 
 3.1.14 make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration
Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission); 

3.1.15 with respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.4, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior
executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; 

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the
participating Holders and the broker, placement agent or sales agent, if any, and Underwriters, if any, as applicable; and 
 3.1.17 upon
request of a Holder, the Company shall (i) authorize the Company’s transfer agent to remove any legend on share certificates of such Holder’s Common Stock restricting further transfer (or any similar restriction in book entry
positions of such Holder) if such restrictions are no longer required by the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or any agreement with the Company to which such Holder is a party, including if such shares subject to such a
restriction have been sold on a Registration Statement, (ii) request the Company’s transfer agent to issue in lieu thereof shares of Common Stock without such restrictions to the Holder upon, as applicable, surrender of any stock
certificates evidencing such 

  
 17 

 
shares of Common Stock, or to update the applicable book entry position of such Holder so that it no longer is subject to such a restriction, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate with such Holder to have such Holder’s shares of Common Stock transferred into a book-entry position at The Depository Trust Company, in each case, subject to delivery of customary documentation, including any documentation required
by such restrictive legend or book-entry notation. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or
information to an Underwriter if such Underwriter has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering. 
 3.2
Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that each Holder shall bear, with respect to such Holder’s Registerable Securities being sold, all
Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing such Holders. 

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines,
based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the
Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and
executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

 3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights. 

3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders
shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such
supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. 

3.4.2 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would
require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving
prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing 

  
 18 

 
or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period,
determined in good faith by the Board to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their
use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this
subsection 3.4.2. 
 3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at
all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date
hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to
the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further
action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
 ARTICLE IV 

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION 

4.1 Indemnification. 

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and
agents and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or
contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters
(within the meaning of the Securities Act), and each broker, placement agent or sales agent to or through which a Holder effects or executes the resale of Registrable Securities, to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the
indemnification of the Holder. 

  
 19 

 4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable
Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder
Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the
obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such
Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the
meaning of the Securities Act), and each broker, placement agent or sales agent to or through which a Holder effects or executes the resale of Registrable Securities, to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of
the Company. 
 4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of
any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying
party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of
such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No
indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying
party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. 

  
 20 

 4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable
Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for
any reason. 
 4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving
rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and
4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 Exhibit 10.3 

EXECUTION VERSION 

STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT 

This STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 7, 2020, by and among Vertiv
Holdings Co, a Delaware corporation (formerly known as GS Acquisition Holdings Corp) (the “Company”), GS Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GS Investor”), Cote SPAC 1 LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Cote Investor”), and VPE Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PE Investor” and, together with GS Investor and Cote Investor, each a “Stockholder” and
collectively, the “Stockholders”). Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in Article V. 

WHEREAS, GS Investor and Cote Investor are the holders of certain shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Class A Common Stock” or the “Common Stock”), and certain warrants to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Warrants”); 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 10, 2019, by and among the Company, PE Investor, Vertiv
Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain other persons named therein and party thereto (the “Merger Agreement”), PE Investor is receiving shares of Class A Common Stock; and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company and the Stockholders desire to set forth
certain understandings among them, including with respect to certain governance matters. 
 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: 

ARTICLE I 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF THE PARTIES 
 Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other party and acknowledges that: (a) the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by such party and do not require such party to obtain any consent or approval that has not been obtained and do not contravene or result in a default under any provision of any law
or regulation applicable to such party or other governing documents or any agreement or instrument to which such party is a party or by which such party is bound; (b) such party has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
carry out its obligations hereunder; and (c) this Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms. 

ARTICLE II 
 BOARD OF DIRECTORS;
OBSERVERS; VOTING AGREEMENT 
 Section 2.1 PE Investor Board Representation. As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized
number of directors on the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) is nine (9). For so long as PE Investor holds a number of shares of Common Stock representing at least the percentage of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock shown below, the Company shall take all Necessary Action to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board 

 
for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, those individuals designated in writing by PE Investor to the Board
that, if elected, would result in PE Investor having nominated the number of directors serving on the Board that is shown below (each, a “PE Investor Nominee”). 

 

					
	 Percentage of Outstanding

Common Stock
	  	Number of PE
Investor Directors	 
	 30% or greater
	  	 	4	 
	 Less than 30% but greater than or equal to 20%
	  	 	3	 
	 Less than 20% but greater than or equal to 10%
	  	 	2	 
	 Less than 10% but greater than or equal to 5%
	  	 	1	 
	 Less than 5%
	  	 	0	 

 Section 2.2 Director Independence. During the period of time that PE Investor is authorized to
nominate four (4) individuals for service on the Board, PE Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that at least two (2) of such PE Investor Nominees qualify as “independent” under all Applicable Regulations
(collectively, “Independent”). During the period of time that PE Investor is authorized to nominate three (3) individuals for service on the Board, PE Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that at least
one (1) of such PE Investor Nominees qualifies as Independent. During the period of time that PE Investor is authorized to nominate two (2) or fewer individuals for service on the Board, none of such PE Investor Nominees shall be required
to qualify as Independent. PE Investor shall include in its written communication of nomination to the Board (x) director biographies in customary form and (y) reasonably detailed information regarding the independence of each such nominee
intended to qualify as Independent. If the Board (or a nominating committee thereof) in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment reasonably determines that any individual designated by PE Investor as Independent is not Independent, the Board
shall promptly notify PE Investor of such determination and PE Investor will be entitled to designate a replacement Independent individual for nomination. 

Section 2.3 Employee Directors. For so long as the Company has a duly appointed and acting Executive Chairman as a named executive
officer, the Company shall take all Necessary Action to include such Executive Chairman in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are
to be elected (the “Chairman Nominee”). For so long as the Company has a duly appointed and acting Chief Executive Officer as a named executive officer, the Company shall take all Necessary Action to include such Chief Executive
Officer in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (the “CEO Nominee”). 

  
 2 

 Section 2.4 Chairman of the Board. For so long as the Company has a duly
appointed and acting Executive Chairman as a named executive officer, and such Executive Chairman has been duly elected to the position of director of the Company, the Company shall take all Necessary Action to ensure that such Executive Chairman
shall serve as the Chairman of the Board. If at any time the Company does not have an Executive Chairman, or if such Executive Chairman has not been appointed to the Board, then, if PE Investor then has the right to designate at least two
(2) directors for nomination under this Agreement, the Company will take all Necessary Action to ensure that, if one or more PE Investor Directors have been elected to the Board, such PE Investor Director as PE Investor may designate shall be
Chairman of the Board. 
 Section 2.5 Additional Unaffiliated Directors. For so long as PE Investor has the right to designate
at least one (1) director for nomination under this Agreement, the Company will take all Necessary Action to (a) ensure that the number of directors serving on the Board shall not exceed nine (9); provided, that the number of
directors may be increased if necessary to satisfy the requirements of Applicable Regulations; and (b) include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of
stockholders at which directors are to be elected, such number of nominees to the Board, each of whom shall be Independent, as is equal to the result of (x) the then authorized number of directors comprising the Board, minus (y) the sum of
(i) the number of PE Investor Nominees included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors, plus (ii) one (1), if there is then a Chairman Nominee included in such slate of nominees, plus (iii) one
(1), if there is then a CEO Nominee included in such slate of nominees. 
 Section 2.6 Committee Representation. Subject to
Applicable Regulations (including with respect to Independent director representation on Board committees), PE Investor shall have the right to have a pro rata number of PE Investor Directors (rounded to the nearest whole number, but in any
event not less than one (1)) appointed to serve on each committee of the Board other than the audit committee for so long as PE Investor has the right to designate at least one (1) director for election to the Board. (For example, if PE
Investor then has the right to nominate four (4) persons to a board of directors of nine (9) persons (i.e., 44%), and a committee of three (3) persons is established, one (1) committee member shall be a PE Investor Director
(i.e., 44% x 3 = 1.32, which is then rounded down to one (1)).) 
 Section 2.7 Vacancies and Removal. Except as provided for in
Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, and to the extent not inconsistent with Section 141(k) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Company’s Governing Documents:
(a) PE Investor shall have the exclusive right to remove its respective nominated directors from the Board, and the Board and each Stockholder shall take all Necessary Action to cause the removal of any of the PE Investor Directors at the
request of PE Investor; and (b) PE Investor shall have the exclusive right to nominate for election to the Board directors to fill vacancies created by reason of death, removal or resignation of the PE Investor Directors, and the Board and PE
Investor shall take all Necessary Action to cause any such vacancies to be filled by replacement directors nominated by PE Investor (consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement) as promptly as reasonably practicable. 

  
 3 

 Section 2.8 Board Observer Rights. For so long as PE Investor holds a number of
shares of Common Stock representing at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company will permit an individual designated in writing by PE Investor from time to time (each, an “Observer”) to attend
meetings of the Board and of any advisory board as a non-voting observer, and will give such individual notice of such meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice to the directors or advisory
board members. Each Observer shall be entitled to concurrent receipt of any materials provided to the Board or any advisory board, subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in a customary confidentiality agreement to be entered into by
and between PE Investor and the Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, (a) the Board shall retain the right to exclude an Observer from meetings, discussions and materials (i) to the extent the Board in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment reasonably believes there to be a material conflict of interest, (ii) with respect to any discussions of disputes between the Company and PE Investor or its Affiliates, and (iii) as necessary, upon advice from counsel to
the Company, to protect attorney-client privilege, (b) the Board shall retain the right to require PE Investor to replace its designated Observer if the Board in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment reasonably determines that such
Observer is not performing his or her duties in a reasonable manner and (c) the right of PE Investor to have an Observer at the Board’s meetings shall not be transferable to any unrelated third party. No Observer, its Affiliates or its or
their employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns shall have any fiduciary or similar duty to, or liability for any debt or obligation of, the Company or to or of any other entity or person whatsoever as a result of this
Section 2.8 or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, the rights of an Observer under this Agreement. 

Section 2.9 Board Meeting Expenses. The Company shall pay all reasonable reimbursable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, travel and lodging) incurred by each member of the Board, and by each Observer (if any), incurred in the course of his or her service
hereunder, including in connection with attending regular and special meetings of the Board, any board of directors or board of managers of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries and/or any of their respective committees. 

Section 2.10 Indemnification. The Company shall obtain and maintain customary director and officer indemnity insurance on
reasonable terms. The Company hereby acknowledges that any director, officer, or other indemnified person covered by any such indemnity insurance policy (any such Person, an “Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification,
advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by a Stockholder or one or more of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Affiliate Indemnitors”). The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of any of its Subsidiaries that provides
indemnification: (a) shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its or their obligations to an Indemnitee shall be primary and any obligation of any Affiliate Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same
expenses or liabilities incurred by an Indemnitee shall be secondary); (b) shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and an Indemnitee, without regard to any rights an Indemnitee may have against any Affiliate
Indemnitor or its insurers; (c) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Affiliate Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Affiliate Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect
thereof; and (d) agrees that no advancement or payment by the Affiliate Indemnitors on behalf of an Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the
Affiliate Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnitee against the Company and its applicable Subsidiary, if any. 

  
 4 

 Section 2.11 Voting Agreement. For so long as PE Investor has the right to
designate at least one (1) director for nomination under this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of Common Stock owned beneficially or of record by such Stockholder, or over which such
Stockholder maintains voting control, directly or indirectly, in such manner as may be necessary or advisable in support of, or to implement, maintain, or protect the various matters set forth in, and the intent of, this Article II (including
without limitation the maintenance of a number of authorized directors and the election of designated nominees), whether at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company or pursuant to any written consent of the stockholders of the
Company. 
 Section 2.12 No Liability to Stockholders. No Stockholder, nor any Affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any
liability as a result of designating a person for nomination for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor as a result of voting for any such designated nominee
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE III 

COMMON STOCK TRANSFER RESTRICTION 

Section 3.1 Market Stand-Off. PE Investor shall not Transfer any shares of Class A
Stock acquired by PE Investor pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Shares”) during the period of time starting on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days after the
date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PE Investor may Transfer any or all of its Merger Shares: (i) to its affiliates; (ii) in the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or
other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Stock for cash, securities or other property; or (iii) by distribution to partners, members or
stockholders of PE Investor, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with PE Investor; provided, however, that (x) it shall be a condition to any such Transfer pursuant to
clause (i) or (iii) that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the securities subject to the provisions of, and agrees to be bound by the restrictions on Transfer set forth in, this
Section 3.1 and (y) any purported Transfer pursuant to clauses (i) and (iii) that does not meet the conditions set forth in clause (x) shall be void ab initio. 

Section 3.2 Legends. The certificates or book-entry entitlements representing the Merger Shares shall bear the following legend
(as well as any other legends required by applicable state and federal securities laws) until such time as such legends are no longer relevant or applicable: 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN 

  
 5 

 
CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE
COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND THE ISSUER OF SUCH SHARES. 
 The foregoing legend shall be removed by the Company from any certificate or book-entry
entitlement evidencing the Merger Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that either: (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act is at that time in
effect with respect to the legended security; or (b) such security can be freely transferred without requiring registration thereof under the Securities Act and such transfer otherwise complies with the applicable state securities laws. 

Section 3.3 Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Company shall have the right to issue appropriate “stop-transfer”
instructions to its transfer agent to ensure compliance with the restrictions on the Merger Shares imposed by this Article III. The Company will not be required to transfer on its books any Merger Shares that have been sold or otherwise
transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Article III, or to treat as owner of such Merger Shares, or to accord the right to vote or receive dividends, to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Merger Shares have been
so transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Article III. 
 ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1 Quarterly Financial Statements. Concurrently with the distribution of the Company’s quarterly financial
statements to the audit committee of the Board for review, for so long as PE Investor has the right to designate at least one (1) director for nomination under this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to PE Investor an unaudited balance sheet

Section 4.2 Annual Financial Statements. Concurrently with the distribution of the Company’s annual financial statements to
the audit committee of the Board for review, for so long as PE Investor has the right to designate at least one (1) director for nomination under this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to PE Investor an audited balance sheet of the Company
as of the end of such fiscal year and the related audited consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows for such fiscal year, including any related notes thereto. 

  
 6 

 Section 4.3 Access. For so long as PE Investor has the right to designate at
least one (1) director for nomination under this Agreement and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in a customary confidentiality agreement to be entered into by and between PE Investor and the Company, the Company shall, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries to, permit PE Investor and its respective designated representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company, to review the books, records, contracts and agreements of the Company or any of
such Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs, finances and condition of the Company or any of such Subsidiaries with the officers of the Company or any such Subsidiary. For so long as PE Investor has the right to designate at least one
