c.The headings in this agreement are for convenience only. They do not form part of this agreement and do not affect its interpretation.

Your employment under this agreement will begin on the date of this agreement and end on December 31, 2022, unless you and the Company agree to mutually extend the term (the “Term”). For statutory purposes your period of continuous employment commenced on 14 July 2008.

d.Your job title is President International on behalf of the Eden Springs Group (the “Role”). The Role will also encompass your current role as UK Chairman although this standalone role will no longer exist from the date that you take up the Role. From 26 June 2020, your employer will be Eden Springs UK Limited. You will report to Thomas Harrington, the Chief Executive Officer of Primo Water Corporation (“Primo”).

e.You acknowledge and agree that you will at all times during your employment (including during any period of suspension or while on garden leave in accordance with clause 17.3), be subject to a duty of goodwill, trust, confidence, exclusive service, faith and fidelity to the Company. These duties include, without limitation, the obligation throughout the duration of this agreement:

i.not to compete with any Group Company;

ii.not to make preparations (during such hours as you should be providing services under this agreement) to compete with any Group Company after this agreement has terminated;

iii.not to solicit in competition with any Group Company any customer or customers of any Group Company;

vii.not without the prior written consent of the Company engage in any form of business or employment other than your employment with the Group whether inside or outside your normal hours of work. In the event permission is granted for you to engage in other employment outside your normal hours of work, you are required to notify the Company of the hours worked each week and to discontinue it if an actual or potential conflict of interest between that activity and your work for the Company arises; and

viii.not to encourage, procure or assist any third party to do anything which, if done by you, would be a breach of (a) to (f) above.

f.You may be required to travel on Company business. This may involve travelling outside normal business hours and at weekends and bank or public holidays should the need arise. Reasonable expenses will be paid for such travel as detailed in clause 7.

g.During the Term, you have agreed to spend 24 months on assignment in Barcelona, Spain (the “Assignment”).

h.The amount of your bonus target is 75% of your Salary.

i.Please note that the bonus plan is entirely discretionary, and the Company reserves in its absolute discretion the right to terminate or amend it or any other bonus plan that may be established.

j.You will be entitled to receive a one-time long-term incentive (“LTI”) award equivalent to USD $200,000 comprised of time-based restricted share units granted to you on June 26, 2020. The time-based restricted share units will vest ratably in two equal annual installments from the grant date. The LTI award, including the vesting terms, will be governed by Primo’s equity incentive plans and your award agreement. You will be eligible for future LTI awards commencing with the 2020 annual awards at target that will be based on your performance and will be in line with similar peer positions at the Company. Annual grants are issued following approval by Primo’s Human Resources and Compensation Committee at its regularly scheduled meetings in December.

k.Upon the termination of your employment at the end of the Term, you will be deemed to be a good leaver for the purposes of your bonus and any LTI you may be entitled to receive, subject to the other terms of those schemes as amended from time to time.

You will be reimbursed for all reasonable travelling, hotel and other business expenses incurred by you in or about the proper performance of your duties and properly authorised by the CEO. You must produce evidence of your expenses in the form required by the Company from time to time and you must claim your expenses in the manner specified by the Company from time to time. The Company reserves the right to refuse to reimburse expenses for which no satisfactory evidence has been produced.

In addition to the above, during the Assignment, the Company shall be responsible for leasing a residence for you in Barcelona, Spain, up to a maximum monthly leasing cost of €5,000 (Five Thousand Euros), and the Company agrees to pay any applicable property taxes and insurance in connection with the leasing of the residence.

You have provided the Company with a certificate from HMRC, which confirms that you are protected for tax purposes under HMRC’s Fixed Protection 2014 requirements. Accordingly, the Company has not automatically enrolled you in its pension scheme and as such, you have no pension with the Company.

The Company will provide you with an annual car allowance of £12,000 to be paid in equal monthly instalments (less tax and employee National Insurance) with your Salary. For the avoidance of doubt, the car allowance is not included in your basic pay and will not count towards other terms and conditions of employment which are related to your basic pay.

During this agreement you will be eligible to participate at the Company's expense in the Company's:

i.life assurance scheme; and

ii.private medical expenses insurance scheme (immediate family cover).

l.You are entitled to eight weeks’ paid holiday in each complete holiday year, which is exclusive of bank/public holidays in the UK or Spain. The rate of pay due in respect of each bank holiday or working day’s paid holiday will consist of the proportion of your Salary that is relative to the normal hours of work of the day in question.

m.Entitlement to holidays and holiday pay cannot be carried over to the next holiday year or brought forward except by prior written agreement from the Company. There is no payment in lieu in respect of any holiday untaken at the end of the holiday year.

n.On termination of your employment, your entitlement to accrued holiday pay will be directly in proportion to your service during the holiday year in which the termination took place. If on termination of employment you have taken holidays in excess of the holidays equivalent to the proportion of the holiday year in which you have been employed by the Company up to the date of termination, the Company will be entitled to deduct from any sums payable to you a sum in respect of each day’s holiday taken in excess of such entitlement.

o.Information relating to the Company’s sickness procedure and your entitlement to sick pay can be found in the Staff Handbook. Any Company sick pay paid in addition to Statutory Sick Pay is paid at the absolute discretion of the Company.

p.If you are absent by reason of sickness, injury or other incapacity, you agree at the request of the Company to undergo one or more medical examinations performed by a doctor appointed and paid for by the Company. You authorise the Company to have unconditional access to any report produced as a result of such examination and to any relevant medical information held on you by your own doctor.

q.During your employment, you will be exposed to information about the business, technology, processes, products, plans, financial or other information or data of the Group and that of the Group’s suppliers and customers which may amount to a trade secret, be confidential or commercially sensitive and which if misused or disclosed could cause significant harm to the Group. Such information, whether communicated to you in writing, on computer disk or in any other medium (and whether or not it is marked as confidential), is referred to in this agreement as "Confidential Information" and includes without limitation:
