Exhibit 10.7

KNOWLTON DEVELOPMENT PARENT INC.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

Stock Option Agreement

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Option Agreement”), is made effective as of [●] (the “Grant Date”), by and between Knowlton Development Parent, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the BCBCA (the “Company”), and [●] (the “Optionee”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings so indicated in the Knowlton Development Parent Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the option provided for herein to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of the Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option to purchase, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Option Agreement, 80 Shares (the “Option”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. At any time, the portion of the Option that has become vested and exercisable is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Portion,” and any portion of the Option that is not a Vested Portion is hereinafter referred to as the “Unvested Portion.”

2. Option Price. The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be $1,250 USD per Share (the “Option Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan.

3. Vesting.

a. General. Subject to Section 3(b) hereof, one-hundred percent (100%) of the Option shall vest on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such date. The Vesting Commencement Date shall be April 1, 2020.

b. Accelerated Vesting Upon a Sale of the Company. The Option, to the extent not then vested or forfeited, shall accelerate and become fully vested immediately prior to and contingent upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service on the date of consummation of such Sale of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, an IPO is not a Sale of the Company.

4. Forfeiture; Expiration.

a. Termination of Service.

i. Upon the Termination Date, the Unvested Portion of the Option shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration therefor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Optionee’s Service is terminated by the Company for Cause or the Optionee resigns at a time when the Optionee’s acts or omissions constitute grounds to terminate the Optionee’s Service for Cause, without regard to any applicable cure rights or notice periods, the Vested Portion of the Option also shall be cancelled and forfeited on the Termination Date without consideration therefor.

b. Breach of Restrictive Covenants. If the Optionee breaches any provision of Section 8 hereof or any restrictive covenants in any other agreement between the Optionee and the Company or an Affiliate (any such provision, a “Restrictive Covenant”), and such breach remains uncured after the Company provides the Optionee with a single 30-day opportunity to cure with respect to matters that, by their nature, are capable of being cured, any outstanding portion of the Option, including the Vested Portion, shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration therefor.

c. Expiration of Option Term. Any unexercised portion of the Option shall expire upon the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date.

5. Period of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the Optionee may exercise all or any part of the Vested Portion at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:

a. the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date;

b. the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Optionee’s Service due to death or Disability;

c. the date that is ninety (90) days following termination of the Optionee’s Service by the Company without Cause; and

d. the date that is thirty (30) days following termination of the Optionee’s Service other than as described in Sections 5(b) and (c).

6. Exercise Procedures.

a. Notice of Exercise. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Vested Portion may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its principal office written notice of intent to so exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (such notice, a “Notice of Exercise”). Such Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Option Price for the Shares to be acquired upon exercise and applicable withholding tax. In the event the Option is being exercised by the Optionee’s representative, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Board) of the representative’s right to exercise the Option. The aggregate Option Price for the Shares to be exercised shall be paid in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by cashier’s check) unless otherwise permitted by the Board, in its sole discretion.

b. Rights of Optionee; Method of Exercise. Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s representative shall have any rights to dividends, voting rights or other rights of a

2

shareholder with respect to Shares subject to the Option until (i) the Optionee has given a Notice of Exercise of the Option and paid the Option Price and the applicable withholding tax for such Shares, (ii) such Shares have been issued, (iii) the Optionee has executed a joinder to the Shareholders Agreement, such joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (iv) if applicable, the Optionee has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Board pursuant to the Plan. In the event of the Optionee’s death, the Vested Portion shall be exercisable by the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the Optionee’s rights under this Option Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be. Any heir or legatee of the Optionee shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and the Plan.

7. Shareholders Agreement; Call Rights. All Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Shareholders Agreement, including, without limitation, the repurchase rights set forth in Article VI therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Optionee’s voluntary termination of Service, the purchase price for all Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option shall be the Fair Market Value of such Shares.

8. [Restrictive Covenants.

a. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

i. [Non-Competition. The Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company while a service provider of the Company and during the twelve (12)-month period following the Termination Date, engage in activities or businesses (including, without limitation, by owning any interest in, managing, controlling, participating in, consulting with, advising, rendering services for or in any manner engaging in the business of owning, operating or managing any business) in all or any part of North America [or any other country or region in which the Company or its Affiliates conduct or solicit business or, as of the Termination Date, are planning to conduct or solicit business] (the “Territory”) that (i) are principally or primarily in the business of product development, formulation and manufacturing for established and emerging beauty, personal care and home/industrial care companies, (ii) otherwise directly or indirectly compete with the business of the Company and its Affiliates or (iii) involve any prospective business which is actively sought or being sought by the Company and its Affiliates. In the case of the immediately preceding clauses (ii) and (iii), the other business must directly or indirectly compete with the business of the Company and its Affiliates at some point during the Optionee’s Service and the prospective business must be actively sought by the Company and its Affiliates at some point during the Optionee’s Service. Furthermore, in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (ii) and (iii), the Optionee must have had access to and/or obtained knowledge of Confidential Information (as defined below) concerning, and/or been involved with, the business or prospective business at some point during the Optionee’s Service (the “Business”).]

ii. Non-Solicitation of Customers, Prospective Customers and Suppliers. The Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company while a service provider of the Company and during the twenty-four (24)-month period following the Termination Date (the “Non-Solicitation

3

Restricted Period”): (x) canvass or solicit the business of, or procure or assist the canvassing or soliciting of the business of any Customer, Prospective Customer or Supplier with whom or which the Optionee materially interacted during the Term or about whom or which the Optionee received Confidential Information during the Term for any purpose which is in competition, in whole or in part, with the Business; (y) procure or assist the procurement of any business from any Customer or Prospective Customer with whom or which the Optionee materially interacted during the Term or about whom or which the Optionee received Confidential Information during the Term, for any purpose which is in competition, in whole or in part, with the Business, in all or part of the Territory; or (z) interfere or attempt to interfere with the Business or persuade or attempt to persuade any Customer, Prospective Customer or Supplier with whom the Optionee materially interacted during the Term or about whom the Optionee received Confidential Information during the Term to discontinue or alter in an adverse manner such Person’s relationship with the Business.

iii. Non-Solicitation of Employees and Service Providers. The Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company while a service provider of the Company and during the Non-Solicitation Restricted Period: (x) solicit the employment or service of, or otherwise induce or entice away from the employment or service of the Company or its Affiliates, any individual who, to the Optionee’s knowledge, is employed by the Company or its Affiliates or any Person whose services are, to the Optionee’s knowledge, retained by the Company or its Affiliates at the time of the Termination Date or who was, to the Optionee’s knowledge, employed by the Company or its Affiliates or whose services were, to the Optionee’s knowledge, retained by the Company or its Affiliates in the six (6)-month period immediately preceding the Termination Date (the “Restricted Persons”), whether or not such Restricted Person would commit any breach of his or her contract of employment or services agreement by reason of leaving the employment or the service of the Company or its Affiliates; or (y) procure or assist any Person to offer employment to or solicit the employment or service of, or otherwise entice away from the employment or service of, the Company any Restricted Person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 8(a)(iii) shall not apply to any service or engagement as a result of an advertisement for service that is not specifically targeted at such Restricted Person.

iv. The provisions of Section 8(a) shall not be deemed breached as a result of the Optionee’s passive ownership of: (i) less than an aggregate of two percent (2%) of any class of securities of a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in activities that are competitive with the Business, so long as the Optionee does not actively participate in the business of such Person; provided, however, that such stock is listed on a national securities exchange; or (ii) less than an aggregate of five percent (5%) in value of any instrument of indebtedness of a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in activities that are competitive with the Business.

v. [If a final and non-appealable judicial or arbitral determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 8(a) constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against the Optionee, the provisions of this Section 8(a) will not be rendered void but will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to remain in force and effect for the longest period and largest geographic area that would not constitute such

4

an unreasonable or unenforceable restriction.] Moreover, and without limiting the generality of Section 8(g), notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this Section 8(a) is determined not to be subject to specific enforcement, the Company will nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the Optionee’s breach of such provision.

b. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.

i. The Optionee acknowledges that the Confidential Information obtained by the Optionee while employed by the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates is the property of the Company or its subsidiaries and Affiliates, as applicable. Therefore, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for the Optionee’s own purposes any Confidential Information, except in connection with the performance of the Optionee’s duties to the Company or the enforcement of the Optionee’s rights under this Option Agreement, as may be required by law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of the Optionee’s acts or omissions in violation of this Option Agreement; provided, however, that if the Optionee receives a request to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a deposition, interrogation, request for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, governmental or regulatory process or similar process, (i) the Optionee shall promptly notify in writing the Company, and consult with and assist the Company in seeking a protective order or request for other appropriate remedy, (ii) in the event that such protective order or remedy is not obtained, or if the Company waives compliance with the terms hereof, the Optionee shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which, based on the written advice of the Optionee’s legal counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise reasonable best efforts to provide that the receiving Person shall agree to treat such Confidential Information as confidential to the extent possible (and permitted under applicable law) in respect of the applicable proceeding or process and (iii) the Company shall be given an opportunity to review the Confidential Information prior to disclosure thereof.

ii. For purposes of this Option Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information, observations and data concerning the business or affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, including, without limitation, all business information (whether or not in written form) which relates to the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates, or their customers, suppliers or contractors or any other third parties in respect of which the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates has a business relationship or owes a duty of confidentiality, or their respective businesses or products, and which is not known to the public generally other than as a result of the Optionee’s breach of this Option Agreement, including but not limited to: technical information or reports; formulas; trade secrets; unwritten knowledge and “know-how”; operating instructions; training manuals; customer lists; customer buying records and habits; product sales records and documents, and product development, marketing and sales strategies; market surveys; marketing plans; profitability analyses; product cost; long-range plans; information relating to pricing, competitive strategies and new product development; information relating to any forms of compensation or other personnel-related information; contracts; and supplier lists. Confidential Information will not include such information known to the Optionee prior to the Optionee’s involvement with the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates or information rightfully obtained from a third party (other than pursuant to a breach

5

by the Optionee of this Option Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, the Optionee and the Company each agrees to keep confidential the existence of, and any information concerning, any dispute between the Optionee and the Company or its subsidiaries and Affiliates, except that the Optionee and the Company each may disclose information concerning such dispute to the court that is considering such dispute or to their respective legal counsel (provided that such counsel agrees not to disclose any such information other than as necessary to the prosecution or defense of such dispute).

iii. Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Option Agreement, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not disclose the terms of this Option Agreement, except to the Optionee’s immediate family and the Optionee’s financial and legal advisors, or as may be required by law or ordered by a court. The Optionee further agrees that any disclosure to the Optionee’s financial and legal advisors will only be made after such advisors acknowledge and agree to maintain the confidentiality of this Option Agreement and its terms.

iv. The Optionee further agrees that the Optionee will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other Person to whom the Optionee has an obligation of confidentiality, and will not bring onto the premises of the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any Person to whom the Optionee has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or other Person.

v. The Optionee understands that nothing contained in this Option Agreement limits the Optionee’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Commission des normes, de l’équité et de la santé et sécurité du travail (Quebec), the Autorité des marchés financiers (Quebec), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state, provincial or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). The Optionee further understands that this Option Agreement does not limit the Optionee’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. This Option Agreement does not limit the Optionee’s right to receive an Option for information provided to any Government Agency. Further, the Company hereby provides notice to the Optionee pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §1833 that an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, provincial or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to any attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer’s trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual: (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. The Optionee is advised to consult an attorney prior to disclosing any trade secrets or Confidential Information as such immunity is only applicable in limited situations.

6

c. Return of Property. The Optionee acknowledges that all notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, records, files, lists, drawings, documents, models, equipment, property, computer, software or intellectual property relating to the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, in whatever form (including electronic), and all copies thereof, that are received or created by the Optionee while a service provider of the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (including but not limited to Confidential Information and Inventions (as defined below)) are and shall remain the property of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, and the Optionee shall immediately return, or immediately dispose of, in the case of copies, such property to the Company upon the Termination Date and, in any event, at the Company’s request. The Optionee further agrees that any property situated on the premises of, and owned by, the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company’s personnel at any time with or without notice.

d. Intellectual Property Rights.

i. The Optionee agrees that the results and proceeds of the Optionee’s services for the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, but not limited to, any trade secrets, products, services, processes, know-how, designs, developments, innovations, analyses, drawings, reports, techniques, formulas, methods, developmental or experimental work, improvements, discoveries, inventions, ideas, source and object codes, programs, matters of a literary, musical, dramatic or otherwise creative nature, writings and other works of authorship) resulting from services performed while a service provider of the Company and any works in progress for the Company whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, that were made, developed, conceived or reduced to practice or learned by the Optionee, either alone or jointly with others for the Company (collectively, “Inventions”), shall be works-made-for-hire (or such similar term in accordance with applicable laws) and the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all trade secret, patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “Proprietary Rights”) of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to use the same in perpetuity in any manner the Company determines in its sole discretion, without any further payment to the Optionee whatsoever. If, for any reason, any Inventions shall not legally be a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any Proprietary Rights which do not accrue to the Company (or, as the case may be, any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates) under the immediately preceding sentence, then the Optionee hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of the Optionee’s right, title and interest thereto, including any and all Proprietary Rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, to the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), and the Company or such subsidiaries or Affiliates shall have the right to use the same in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner determined by the Company or such subsidiaries or Affiliates without any further payment to the Optionee whatsoever. As to any Invention that the Optionee is required to assign, the Optionee shall promptly and fully disclose to the Company all information known to the Optionee concerning such Invention. The Optionee hereby confirms that it was always the intention of the parties hereto that the Company own any right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to any such Invention.

7

ii. The Optionee agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, the Optionee shall do any and all things that the Company may reasonably deem useful or desirable to establish or document the Company’s exclusive ownership throughout Canada, the United States of America or any other country of any and all Proprietary Rights in any such Inventions, including the execution of appropriate copyright and/or patent applications or assignments. To the extent the Optionee has any Proprietary Rights in the Inventions that cannot be assigned in the manner described above, the Optionee unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such Proprietary Rights. This Section 8(d)(ii) is subject to and shall not be deemed to limit, restrict or constitute any waiver by the Company of any Proprietary Rights of ownership to which the Company may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of the Company’s being the Optionee’s employer. The Optionee further agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, the Optionee shall assist the Company in every proper and lawful way to obtain and from time to time enforce Proprietary Rights relating to Inventions in any and all countries. To this end, the Optionee shall execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, the Optionee shall execute, verify, and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designees. The Optionee obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the Termination Date.

iii. The Optionee hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that the Optionee now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.

e. Nondisparagement. The Optionee shall not at any time while a service provider of the Company and following the Termination Date, whether in writing or orally, malign, denigrate or disparage the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective predecessors and successors, or any of the current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, with respect to any of their respective past or present activities, or otherwise publish (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned parties in an unfavorable light. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8(e) shall be construed to limit or interfere with the Optionee’s right to engage in the activities set forth in Section 8(b)(v).

f. Notification of Subsequent Employer. The Optionee hereby agrees that prior to accepting employment with, or agreeing to provide services to any other Person during any period during which the Optionee remains subject to any of the covenants set forth in Section 8(a), the Optionee shall provide such prospective employer with written notice of such provisions of this Option Agreement, with a copy of such notice delivered simultaneously to the Company.

g. Remedies and Injunctive Relief. The Optionee acknowledges that a violation by the Optionee of any of the covenants contained in Section 8 would cause irreparable damage to the Company in an amount that would be material but not readily ascertainable, and that any remedy at law (including the payment of damages) would be inadequate. Accordingly,

8

the Optionee agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of this Option Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled (without the necessity of showing economic loss or other actual damage) to seek injunctive relief (including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and/or permanent injunctions) in any court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or threatened breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 8, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it may have. The preceding sentence shall not be construed as a waiver of the rights that the Company may have for damages under this Option Agreement or otherwise, and all of the Company’s rights shall be unrestricted.]

9. No Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Option shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the Service of the Optionee and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate the Service of the Optionee.

10. Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any payment or Shares deliverable under this Option Agreement, or require the Optionee to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, provincial, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Option Agreement.

11. Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer or assign the Option except in the event of death and in accordance with Section 6(i) of the Plan.

12. Adjustment of Option. Adjustments to the Option (or any Shares underlying the Option) shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
