Dear Michael,
Congratulations! On behalf of Hayward Industries, Inc., I am pleased to offer you the position of Corporate Controller, reporting directly to Andrew Diamond, Sr. VP of Finance & CFO.  Your targeted start date is October 23rd, 2017.
Compensation
Your starting salary will be $9,615.38/bi-weekly ($250,000/year).  Pay for performance is the foundation of Hayward’s compensation strategy.  Your salary will be reviewed annually on your anniversary date in accordance with Hayward’s salary administration policy.  This position is exempt which means that you will not be entitled to overtime pay.
Hayward supports the achievement of Company financial objectives while recognizing superior individual achievement and you will be eligible to participate in Hayward’s Incentive Compensation Plan.  Your bonus incentive target is 22%.  Provided your start date occurs within the first ten months of the incentive plan year (our incentive plan year runs from Oct 1st to Sept 30th), you will be eligible for a prorated incentive; however, please be aware that incentives are discretionary.
In addition to our standard financial offer, you are offered the opportunity to participate in a Hayward equity incentive program.  This opportunity is offered exclusively to key management personnel and requires a personal financial investment by any and all participants.  This program is completely voluntary.  If you choose to invest in this program you will also be eligible to receive additional equity options under the terms of the program.  Further details of this program will be discussed if you choose to accept this employment offer.
Benefits
Beginning your first day of employment, you will be eligible to enroll for coverage in Hayward’s medical, dental and other insured benefit plans.
Additionally, you will accrue three (3) weeks of vacation per year.   Your vacation benefit is pro-rated based on your start date. You will also be eligible for 11 holidays per year (10 company-defined plus 1 personal/floating holiday).  Our holiday schedule varies by location; please check with your local HR team for the applicable schedule.
Beginning your first day of employment, you may begin making voluntary contributions to the 401(k).  Hayward matches 50% of the first 6% deferred and you will be automatically enrolled with a deferral of 3%.  Additionally, you will be eligible to receive an employer profit sharing contribution of 4% of your earnings into the 401(k) plan bi-weekly, as of the first of the month, following one year of service.  You may make changes to your deferral at any time of the year.
Eligibility for additional Hayward benefits is outlined within the attached New Hire Benefits brochure.

NOW THEREFORE: 
 In

GLOBAL SECURITIES

4.01. Global Securities. The Designated Securities shall be issued in the form of one or more global securities for each series (“Global Securities”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Designated Securities
represented thereby with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the depositary, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”, and such depositary, or any successor thereto, being hereinafter
referred to as the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co. (or any successor thereto), for the accounts of participants in the Depositary. 

SECTION 4.02. General. Each Global Security shall represent such portion of the outstanding applicable Designated Securities as shall
be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding applicable Designated Securities from time to time endorsed thereon. The Trustee and any agent thereof shall be entitled to deal
with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered Holder of any Global Security for all purposes of the Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal and interest and the giving of instructions or
directions by or to the owner or Holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole Holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee or any agent shall
have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such
Global Security, for any transactions between the Depositary and any members of, or participants, in the Depositary (“Agent Members”) or between or among the Depositary, any such Agent Member and/or any Holder or owner of a beneficial
interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (1) prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from
giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (2) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a
Holder of any Security. Subject to the foregoing, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Designated Securities in accordance with
the rules and procedures of such Depositary. 
 SECTION 4.03. Book Entry Provisions. Each Global Security shall bear a legend
substantially to the following effect: 
 “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred
to and is registered in the name of The Depositary Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”) or a nominee of DTC. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than DTC or its nominee only in
limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC, by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of
such a successor depository.” 
 A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary
or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transfer of a Designated Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but
is not itself a Global Security. 
 A Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Designated Security registered, and
no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part shall be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof; provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for Designated Securities
registered in the names of any person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the Depositary has notified the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or such Depositary has ceased to
be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that the Depositary has ceased to be a
“clearing agency,” (B) the Issuer determines in its sole discretion to issue Designated Notes in exchange for a Global Security or (C) an Event of Default with respect to the securities represented by such Global Security has occurred
and is continuing. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be so exchanged as directed by the Depositary. Any Designated Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global
Security; provided, however, that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security. 

 Designated Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof that
are not issued as a Global Security shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have a principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged and shall be registered in
such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate.
