				March 2, 2022

Dear John:

I am pleased to confirm our verbal offer of employment as Chief Financial Officer of Clarios International Inc. (“Clarios” or the “Company”) with an anticipated start date on March 14, 2022, subject to completion of your visa/authorization to work in the US. In this role you will report directly to me, and the position will be based at our Global Headquarters in Milwaukee.

BASE SALARY

Your annual base salary will be US$700,000 paid on a bi-weekly basis, less applicable withholdings.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

You will participate in the Clarios Annual Incentive Performance Plan (AIPP) at a target of 100% of your annual base salary. Your participation will start on March 14, 2022, or another date as mutually agreed to by the parties, and your payment for fiscal year 2022 will be pro-rated, less applicable withholdings. Actual incentive payments to you under the AIPP can range from 0% of target to as much as 200% of target. Determination of actual award levels relative to the target award will be based on achievement of performance goals outlined in the AIPP plan document. Payments are made in December of each year for the previous fiscal year to September 30th. Your first AIPP payment will be in December of 2022 for performance in fiscal year 2022.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

In this position, you will participate in the Clarios Executive Long-Term Incentive Program (ELTIP). You will receive 9.15% of the total ELTIP profit pool on Brookfield’s sale proceeds, net of all sales costs, less Brookfield’s initial invested capital of approximately US$2,932 Million. Awards will vest 20% per year, provided you are employed on each annual vesting date. Determination of actual award levels relative to the target award will be based on achievement of performance goals outlined in the ELTIP plan document.

In the event that any payment or benefit under the ELTIP results in an increased income tax, penalty (increased) interest thereon or penalty tax due to the failure of the ELTIP to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (collectively, the “409A Tax”), you will receive a tax gross-up payment in an amount which, after reduction for any Federal, state or local income taxes on such payment, shall equal the amount of the 409A Tax (“Tax Make- Whole”). The Tax Make-Whole shall be paid no later than five days following the date that Clarios reports on a Form W-2 that the 409A Tax is due, or (absent such report) following the date of any other final non-appealable determination by (or agreement with) the Internal Revenue Service or any judicial authority that the 409A Tax is due. You agree that Clarios will control any audit or consent with respect to any claims by the IRS that the 409A Tax is due, that you will cooperate in good faith with respect to any such proceeding and will not take any position contrary to Clarios, except as required by law.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION

In your position, you are eligible to participate in the Clarios Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, a key executive benefit. The Plan allows you to defer a portion of your base salary and annual bonus. You will receive further information and have an opportunity to learn more about this benefit during the enrollment period in the first quarter of the next fiscal year.

FLEXIBLE PERQUISITES

You will also be able to participate in the Flexible Perquisites Plan which provides you with up to 5% of your annual base salary each year to cover financial planning expenses. Taxes on perquisite funds are the responsibility of the participant.

US MANAGEMENT CAR ALLOWANCE PROGRAM

In this position you are eligible to participate in the Management Car Allowance Program. An annual cash car allowance of US$15,000 will be added to your paycheck. This annual amount will be paid via payroll on a biweekly basis. All payments in association with the Management Car Allowance Program are subject to applicable Federal and Local taxes.

BENEFITS

Clarios offers an extensive employee benefit program. Choices exist for you and your dependents in medical, dental, life and disability insurance. You will be eligible to participate in the Clarios Savings and Investment Plan which includes a 401K plan with a company match. Details of this plan are described in the summary plan description. You are entitled to thirteen (13) company paid holidays each year. Additionally, you will receive four

(4) weeks of vacation.

In the first year or until you are eligible for the 401K plan, you will be provided with an annualized amount US$50,000 cash (net of tax) in lieu, payable at the end of the calendar year or at the conversion to the plan, whichever is earlier.

SEVERANCE

Upon termination without Cause (as defined below) or by you for Good Reason (as defined below), you will be provided with one (1) times the sum of your annual base salary and your annual bonus target amount, payable within 30 days following your termination in a lump sum conditional upon signing a release and subject to applicable withholding taxes. For the period of one (1) year (12 months), benefit continuation (medical/dental/vision) will be covered by the Company at the current employee contribution levels. You will also receive any unpaid prior year bonus to the extent earned under the AIPP for such year, payable at the same time as such year’s bonuses are paid to other senior executives.

RELOCATION

Clarios will work with you to establish an appropriate visa as required for your employment authorization in the United States.

You will be provided with an annual executive allowance of US$50,000 net of taxes intended to cover all travel and living expenses, pro-rata, paid bi-weekly, until relocation to the Milwaukee area. You additionally will be eligible for the Executive Relocation Policy which provides for assistance with temporary housing, shipment of household goods, and certain reimbursable travel expenses for the final trip to the destination. Should you voluntarily terminate your employment within the first (1^st) year of employment without Good Reason, you will be required to reimburse the Company in full for the cost of all relocation assistance provided to you or paid for on your behalf by the Company. You will be required to agree to the Payback Agreement following the acceptance of this offer.

LEGAL FEES

Clarios will pay (or reimburse you for) reasonable, documented out-of-pocket professional fees up to $10,000 incurred to negotiate and prepare this Agreement and all agreements related hereto.

INDEMNIFICATION; D&O INSURANCE

Clarios will indemnify and hold you harmless for all acts and omissions to act occurring while an officer or other employee to the maximum extent permitted under Clarios’ governing instruments and applicable law. Clarios will cover you as an insured party on all directors’ and officers’ insurance maintained by Clarios for the benefit of officers of Clarios. Such indemnification and insurance coverage will continue during your employment and will survive thereafter for such period of time during which you may be subject to liability for any act or omission occurring while an officer or other employee of Clarios.

Non-Solicitation of Employees: Further, in accepting this employment offer, and in consideration of this employment offer, except as prohibited by law, you further agree that during your employment with the Company, its subsidiaries or its parent, and for the one (1) year period thereafter, you will not, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of another solicit, recruit, aid or induce employees of the Company, its subsidiaries or its parent (a) who were directly managed by or reported to Employee as of the date of Employee’s termination, or (b) with whom Employee has had material contact with during the twelve (12) months period preceding Employee’s termination and who had access to Confidential Information, trade secrets or customer relationships, to leave their employment with the Company, its subsidiaries or its parent in order to accept employment with or render services to another person or entity unaffiliated with the Company, its subsidiaries or its parent, or hire or knowingly take any action to assist or aid any other person or entity in identifying or hiring any such employee.

MISCELLANEOUS; SECTION 409A

In the event of your death, any monies that are due and owing to you as of the date of your death will be paid to your estate (including for any death occurring after a termination of employment, above, in which severance is due). To the extent such payments are related to an award under the ELTIP these payments will be made to your estate in accordance with the terms of the ELTIP.

This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other agreements and understandings previously entered into, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. A waiver of the breach of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition.

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

The parties intend that all payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively “Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner in compliance therewith. Although Clarios intends to administer this Agreement so that it will be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A, Clarios does not represent or warrant that this Agreement will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. Except for the Tax Make-Whole, neither Clarios, its affiliates, nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to you (or any other individual claiming a benefit through you) for any tax, interest, or penalties you may owe as a result of compensation or benefits paid under this Agreement, and Clarios and its affiliates shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect you from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A or otherwise. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to you and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A. No amount shall be payable upon a termination of your employment unless

5

such termination constitutes a “separation from service” with Clarios under Section 409A. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to you shall be made in reliance upon the exception for certain involuntary terminations under a separation pay plan or as a short-term deferral under Section 409A. To the extent any amounts payable upon your separation from service are nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, and if you are at such time a “specified employee” thereunder, then to the extent required under Section 409A payment of such amounts shall be postponed until six (6) months following the date of your separation from service (or until any earlier date of your death), upon which date all such postponed amounts shall be paid to you in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, (i) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by you, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. For purposes of Section 409A, your right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

John, speaking for myself and my colleagues, we are enthusiastic about your joining Clarios. We have a great company with important work to be done. We are confident that the combination of your experiences and personal attributes will allow you to contribute and succeed at Clarios.

We look forward to your positive response to our offer and countersignature to this letter as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

/s/ Mark Wallace

Mark Wallace

Chief Executive Officer, Clarios
