This letter shall constitute the amended and restated terms under which you will continue your employment with the Company (“Amended & Restated Offer Letter”). This Amended and Restated Offer Letter is in substitution for and in replacement of any terms and conditions of any employment agreements, whether written or oral, between you and Primo, the
Company or any of their affiliates, including, without limitation, the Offer Letter. Your employment with the Company shall be as an at-will employee. You will continue to serve as an executive officer of Primo.
In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, including the increased benefits referenced in Section 4.2 of this Offer Letter, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:

(ii)You
agree to devote substantially all of your business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and to discharging the responsibilities assigned to you. This shall not preclude you from (i) serving on the boards of directors of a reasonable number of charitable organizations, (ii) serving on the boards of directors or trustees of other entities not engaged in any business competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates,
provided that you shall have received approval for any such board service in advance from the CEO, (iii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iv)
