NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in a correspondingly identified schedule attached hereto (such schedules, collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”), the Company represents and warrants to each Shareholder and CD&R II, as of the date hereof (except to the extent made only as of a specified date, in which case as of such date), that:

Section 1.1. Organization and Authority. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified (in the case of good standing, to the extent such jurisdiction recognizes such concept), except where such failure to be so qualified, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. True and accurate copies of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), each as in effect as of the date of this Agreement and immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, have been made available to each Shareholder and CD&R II prior to the date hereof.

Section 1.2. Authorization.

(a) The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”). This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the applicable parties hereto and thereto (other than the Company), each of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms (except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles). No other corporate proceedings are necessary for the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and no other corporate proceedings or approval of the Company’s stockholders are necessary for the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, for the avoidance of doubt the conversion of Exchanged Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designations).

(b) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance by the Company with any of the provisions hereof or thereof, will (i) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the material properties or assets of any Company Group Member under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (x) the Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate of Designations, the Bylaws or the certificate of incorporation, charter, articles of association, bylaws or other governing instrument of any Subsidiary of the Company or (y) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which any Company Group Member is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any Company Group Member or any of the properties or assets of any Company Group Member may be subject (including any of the Existing Debt Agreements), or (ii) violate any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, permit, franchise or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to any Company Group Member or any of its respective properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (i)(y) and (ii), for such violations, conflicts and breaches as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(c) No notice to, registration, declaration or filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, order, consent or approval of any Governmental Entity, nor expiration or termination of any statutory waiting period, in each case that has not been made or received or that has not expired, as applicable, prior to the date hereof is necessary for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except where the failure to obtain such approval or to provide or obtain such notice, registration, declaration, filing, exemption, review, authorization, order, consent or obtain the expiration of such waiting period would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(d) The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the NYSE, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to the Knowledge of the Company is reasonably likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the Common Stock from the NYSE, nor has the Company received as of the date of this Agreement any notification that the SEC or the NYSE is contemplating terminating such registration or listing or otherwise.

Section 1.3. Status of Securities.

(a) (i) The Exchanged Shares and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Exchanged Shares (including shares of Preferred Stock issued as dividends thereon as provided in the Certificate of Designations) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. The Exchanged Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and will effectively vest in each respective Shareholder good title to the Exchanged Shares, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws and the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including Section 3.6 hereof, and the Certificate of Designations).

(b) Upon any conversion of any Exchanged Shares (including shares of Preferred Stock issued as dividends thereon as provided in the Certificate of Designations), the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and will effectively vest in such Shareholder good title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws and the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including Section 3.6 hereof). The respective rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock are as stated in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designations and the Bylaws. The shares of Common Stock and shares of Preferred Stock to be issued upon any conversion of the Exchanged Shares (including shares of Preferred Stock issued as dividends thereon as provided in the Certificate of Designations) and have been duly reserved for such issuance.

Section 1.4. Brokers and Finders. No Company Group Member and none of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or finder has acted directly or indirectly for the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a representation with respect to any such fees incurred by Resideo in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement.

Section 1.5. Registration Rights. Except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has not granted or agreed to grant, and is not under any obligation to provide, any rights to register under the Securities Act any of its presently outstanding equity securities or any of its equity securities that may be issued subsequently.

Section 1.6. DGCL 203. Other than Section 203 of the DGCL, no “business combination,” “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation under the laws of the State of Delaware or other applicable Laws is applicable to the Company, the transfer of the Exchanged Shares to CD&R Shareholder or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company Board has approved the acquisition by the CD&R Shareholder Parties (individually and collectively) of all Exchanged Shares, all Common Stock received by the CD&R Shareholder Parties in the Spin-Off or upon conversion of Exchanged Shares and all Common Stock and other capital stock acquired without violation of this Agreement for all purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL such that Section 203 of the DGCL will not apply to any transaction between any or all of the CD&R Shareholder Parties, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

Section 1.7. NYSE Listing Requirements. Resideo has approved the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Exchange Agreement, including with respect to the Exchanged Shares, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Exchanged Shares and Common Stock issued in connection with the consummation of the Spin-Off, the acquisition by the CD&R Shareholder Parties of additional Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any New Securities, for all purposes of the applicable listing and corporate governance requirements of NYSE.

Section 1.8. No Additional Representations. Except for the representations and warranties made by the Company in this ARTICLE I, neither the Company nor any other person makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any Company Group Member or their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, employees, employee benefit plans, conditions or prospects, and the Company hereby disclaims any such other representations or warranties. In particular, without limiting the foregoing disclaimer, neither the Company nor any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty to any Shareholder or its representatives, with respect to (i) any financial projection, forecast, estimate, budget or prospect information relating to any Company Group Member or their respective business, or (ii) except for the representations and warranties made by the Company in this ARTICLE I, any oral or written information presented to any Shareholder or its representatives in the course of their due diligence investigation of the Company, the negotiation of this Agreement or in the course of the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE III

Covenants

Section 3.1. Confidentiality. Each party to this Agreement will hold, and will cause its respective Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, auditors, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, unless disclosure to a Governmental Entity is necessary in connection with any necessary regulatory approval, examination or inspection or unless disclosure is required by judicial or administrative process or by other requirement of Law or the applicable requirements of any Governmental Entity or relevant stock exchange (in which case, other than in connection with a disclosure in connection with a routine audit or examination by, or document request from, a regulatory or self-regulatory authority, bank examiner or auditor, the party disclosing such information shall provide the other party with prior written notice of such permitted disclosure to the extent lawful), and shall not use (other than for purposes of monitoring its investment in the Company or enforcing its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party), all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information concerning the other parties hereto or their respective Subsidiaries furnished to it by or on behalf of such other party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the investment in the Company contemplated by or referenced in this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be reasonably demonstrated to have been or be (a) previously known by such party from other sources, provided that such source was not known by such party to be bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the other party, (b) in the public domain through no violation of this Section 3.1 by such party or (c) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and no party hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, auditors, consultants and advisors not to, release or disclose such information to any other Person, except its directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, auditors, consultants and advisors to the extent the disclosure thereto is reasonable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or for purposes of monitoring its investment in the Company or enforcing its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 3.1 by any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, auditors, consultants and advisors. For purposes of this Section 3.1, any information regarding the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective assets, liabilities, businesses or operations that was furnished or otherwise made available to any Shareholder or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, auditors, consultants and advisors by or on behalf of Resideo or any Subsidiary thereof prior to the date hereof shall be deemed to be information that was made available to such Shareholder or Affiliate thereof or applicable director, manager, officer, employee, agent, auditor, consultant or advisor thereof by or on behalf of the Company and is therefore subject to the terms of this Section 3.1.

Section 3.2. Tax Matters.

(a) Each Shareholder and the Company agree that it is their intention that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes (such tax treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”), (i) the Exchanged Shares are equity (and not debt), (ii) not to treat the Exchanged Shares (based on their terms as set forth in the Certificate of Designations) as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code, and Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-5 for U.S. federal income tax and withholding tax purposes, and (iii) the Holders shall not be required to include in income as a dividend any amounts in respect of the Exchanged Shares unless and until dividends are declared and paid in cash thereon in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. The Company will, and will cause any paying agent or other agent of the Company to, report consistently with, and take no positions or actions inconsistent with (including on any IRS Form 1099 or any other information return) the Intended Tax Treatment (including by way of withholding) unless otherwise required by (A) a change in Law that is binding on the Company or (B) a final determination of a taxing authority that is binding on the Company.

(b) The Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to withhold Taxes on all payments on the Exchanged Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) notify a Holder at least ten (10) business days prior to any withholding on payments to such Holder, and (ii) give such Holder a reasonable opportunity to provide any form or certificate to reduce or eliminate such withholding.

(c) At the CD&R Shareholder’s request in connection with any sale, redemption, or other exchange of Exchanged Shares or Common Stock held by the CD&R Shareholder or CD&R II, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to determine within fifteen (15) days of receipt of request from the CD&R Shareholder whether it is a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code (a “USRPHC”) and shall promptly notify the CD&R Shareholder or CD&R II, as applicable, in writing of its determination of its status as a USRPHC and shall provide to the CD&R Shareholder or CD&R II, as applicable, a statement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(1) where it determines the interest being sold is not a United States real property interest within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code, or otherwise inform the CD&R Shareholder or CD&R II, as applicable, in writing that it cannot make such certification under applicable law.

(d) For so long as any Exchanged Shares or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Exchanged Shares are outstanding, the Company is and will remain classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(e) Each Shareholder and the Company agree that it is their intention that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) Tax purposes, the Exchange is treated as a distribution of stock pursuant to a transaction described in Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355(a) of the Code (the “Exchange Tax Treatment”) that is tax-free to each Shareholder, Resideo, and the Company, except for cash that Shareholders may receive (if any) in lieu of fractional shares. Each Shareholder and the Company shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) file all tax returns and otherwise report consistently with, the Exchange Tax Treatment, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Law after the date of this Agreement or pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state or local Law). The Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law (and not otherwise directed not to do so by a Governmental Entity), (i) keep the CD&R Shareholder reasonably informed regarding any material audit, investigation, or other proceeding by a Governmental Entity with respect to the Exchange Tax Treatment (each, a “Tax Proceeding”), and (ii) reasonably consult with and consider in good faith any reasonable comments of the CD&R Shareholder regarding the conduct of any Tax Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, any information or documentation made available under this Agreement, including pursuant to this Section 3.2(e), shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 3.1.

Section 3.3. Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Each Shareholder and CD&R II hereby agrees that, except as set forth in the remaining provisions of this Section 3.3, from the consummation of the Spin-Off (if and only if the Spin-Off occurs) until August [●], 2028 (the “Lock-Up Period”) the Other Shareholder and CD&R Shareholder Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, in any single transaction or series of related transactions: (a) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to (A) any of the Exchanged Shares (or any shares of Preferred Stock issued as dividends on the Exchanged Shares) or any shares of Common Stock received upon conversion thereof, (B) any shares of Common Stock owned by the Other Shareholder or CD&R Shareholder Parties as of immediately following the consummation of the Spin-Off, or (C) any shares of capital stock received in exchange for or as a distribution on or with respect to such Exchanged Shares or shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock (such shares referred to in clauses (A)-(C), but excluding any shares of capital stock of Resideo, collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”), (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of, or voting rights in respect of, any of the Lock-Up Shares, for cash or otherwise, or (c) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b) (collectively, the transfers or other actions referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, a “Transfer”); provided that any request or demand to file, or the filing of, a registration statement or a prospectus supplement or any amendments thereto in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement shall not violate the restrictions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this sentence. Each of the Other Shareholder, CD&R Shareholder and CD&R II hereby authorizes the Company during the Lock-Up Period to cause its transfer agent for the Lock-Up Shares to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, Lock-Up Shares for which the Other Shareholder, CD&R Shareholder, CD&R II (or any other CD&R Shareholder Party) is the record or beneficial holder with respect to any Transfer of Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period that is prohibited in accordance with this Section 3.3. Each of the Other Shareholder, CD&R Shareholder and CD&R II hereby agrees that (other than in the case of a Transfer pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the following sentence or, in the case of a Transfer pursuant to clauses (v) or (vi) of the following sentence, if such Transfer is to one or more CD&R Shareholder Parties) the Other Shareholder and the CD&R Shareholder Parties shall not Transfer the Exchanged Shares (or any shares of Preferred Stock issued as dividends on the Exchanged Shares) unless such shares are converted into Common Stock in connection with such Transfer; provided, that the Other Shareholder or CD&R Shareholder Parties, as applicable, shall be permitted to Transfer the Exchanged Shares (and any shares of Preferred Stock issued as dividends on the Exchanged Shares) without converting such shares into Common Stock if the Common Stock ceases to be listed or quoted on the NYSE or another U.S. national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3(a) (but without limiting the limitations on Transferring Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing sentence), any CD&R Shareholder Party may Transfer the Lock-Up Shares (i) to another CD&R Shareholder Party, but only if (x) such other CD&R Shareholder Party agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and if the transferee and the transferor agree for the express benefit of the Company that the transferee shall Transfer the Lock-Up Shares so Transferred back to the transferor at or before such time as the transferee ceases to be a CD&R Shareholder Party, and (y) either (1) such transferee is an entity that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as disregarded as separate from the transferring CD&R Shareholder Party (or the transferring CD&R Shareholder Party is an entity that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as disregarded as separate from the transferee) or (2) the Transfer does not result in the recognition of more than an insubstantial amount of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to the Transferred Lock-Up Shares, which gain or loss shall in no event exceed [ ]% of the fair market value of the Lock-Up Shares subject to the Transfer; (ii) to the Company (including by way of surrender, exchange or repurchase) or any Subsidiary of the Company; (iii) pursuant to a merger, tender offer or exchange offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or any change of control transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, in each case of this clause (iii), approved by the Company Board or any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (iv) pursuant to a pledge in respect of a Permitted Loan (A) that qualifies as an Existing Permitted Loan, (B) where either (1) a CD&R Affiliate provides a guaranty from a creditworthy entity to the maker(s) of the Permitted Loan in respect of all obligations under such Permitted Loan or (2) the CD&R Shareholder provides a written representation to the Company and Resideo prior to the making of such Permitted Loan to the effect that it reasonably believes, as of the date of the incurrence of such Permitted Loan, that such Permitted Loan is unlikely to be repaid through a Transfer of Lock-Up Shares to the applicable lender(s) thereof, in each case, where such Permitted Loan otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 3.3(d), including that such Permitted Loan is not a Margin Loan, or (C) that is incurred after the date hereof in connection with an acquisition of shares of capital stock from the Company in a primary issuance and otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 3.3(d), including such Permitted Loan is not a Margin Loan and, in any such case of clause of this clause (iv), shall include (I) a Transfer to the lender of a Permitted Loan in connection with a foreclosure of such pledge, and (II) any pledge entered into in connection with a refinancing of a Permitted Loan described in such clause (so long as such refinancing loan complies with the terms of such clause) and a Transfer to the lender thereof in connection with a foreclosure of such a pledge, in each case, in accordance with terms of this Agreement; (v) subject to compliance with Section 3.3(b) and the third sentence of this Section 3.3(a), to any Person so long as the applicable CD&R Shareholder Party effecting the Transfer pursuant to this clause (v) concurrently Transfers a proportionate amount of the Resideo Common Stock owned by such CD&R Shareholder Party (if Common Stock is being Transferred by such CD&R Shareholder Party) or Resideo Preferred Stock (if Preferred Stock is being Transferred by such CD&R Shareholder Party) (e.g., if a CD&R Shareholder Party proposes to Transfer 5% of the shares of Common Stock held by such CD&R Shareholder Party, it must concurrently transfer 5% of the shares of Resideo Common Stock held by such CD&R Shareholder Party); and/or (vi) for any Transfer (including to another CD&R Shareholder Party if clause (y) of clause (i) of this sentence is not otherwise satisfied) being entered into or consummated after October [___],¹ 2027, if a CD&R Shareholder Party causes an Unqualified Tax Opinion to be provided to the Company and Resideo prior to such Transfer, it being understood that no Transfers shall be permitted pursuant to this clause (vi) prior to October [__], 2027. The term “concurrently” in clause (v) requires that the dispositions occur within thirty (30) calendar days of each other as part of the same integrated plan. The Company shall, at the sole cost and expense of the CD&R Shareholder Parties, reasonably cooperate with the CD&R Shareholder Parties, and shall provide any information reasonably necessary in connection with obtaining any such Unqualified Tax Opinion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein or in the Certificate of Designations, without limiting the rights of any CD&R Shareholder Party to Transfer the Lock-Up Shares prior to expiration or termination of the Lock-Up Period in accordance with this paragraph and notwithstanding any such Transfer, for all purposes hereof and the Certificate of Designations, the Lock-Up Period shall not be deemed to have terminated or expired until August [__], 2028 unless consented to in writing by the Company, the CD&R Shareholder and CD&R II; provided that if any CD&R Shareholder Party effects a Transfer of a portion of the applicable shares described on Schedule 3.3(a) held by it pursuant to clause (vi) hereof prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, then solely for purposes of Section 6(a) and Section 10(a) of the Certificate of Designations, the Lock-Up Period in respect of a proportional number of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have terminated such that the Company may effect an optional conversion pursuant to Section 6(a) or optional redemption pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Certificates of Designations in respect of such proportional amount of shares of Preferred Stock, subject in each case, to the satisfaction of any conditions or terms set forth therein in order to effect any such conversion or redemption (e.g., if a CD&R Shareholder Party proposes to Transfer 1,000 shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by it pursuant to clause (vi), the Lock-Up Period with respect to a number of shares of Preferred Stock held by the CD&R Shareholder Parties equaling 1,000 shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis (or, if less, all of the remaining Preferred Stock) will be deemed to have terminated solely for the purposes of Section 6(a) and Section 10(a) of the Certificate of Designations). To the extent that any CD&R Shareholder Party wishes to Transfer any of the Lock-Up Shares prior to expiration of the Lock-Up Period in reliance on the foregoing clauses (i) or (v), the applicable CD&R Shareholder Party shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice to the Company and Resideo in reasonable detail at least five (5) business days prior to the contemplated Transfer necessary to permit the Company and Resideo to evaluate the consequences of the applicable Transfer under Section 355 of the Code (and the CD&R Shareholder Party shall thereafter provide such additional information with respect thereto as the Company and Resideo may reasonably request); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall this sentence provide any consent right to the Company or Resideo or limit the rights of any CD&R Shareholder Party to Transfer the Lock-Up Shares in accordance with this Section 3.3(a) and the CD&R Shareholder Party may, without breach of this Agreement, proceed with such Transfer without delay, provided such Transfer is in compliance with Section 3.3.

1	To be 14 months after the Distribution Date.

(b) Without limiting the terms set forth in Section 3.3(a), neither the Other Shareholder nor any CD&R Shareholder Party shall at any time (including after the end of the Lock-Up Period), directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the majority of the Company Board excluding the CD&R Designees, in any single transaction or series of related transactions, Transfer any of the Lock-Up Shares or any other shares of capital stock of the Company now owned or hereafter acquired by the Other Shareholder or any CD&R Shareholder Party, as applicable:

(1) other than in accordance with all applicable Laws and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement; or

(2) to any Person that is a Prohibited Transferee, other than any Transfer on the open market in reliance upon Rule 144 of the Securities Act or pursuant to a valid registration statement (including a registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement).

Neither the Other Shareholder nor any CD&R Shareholder Party shall be deemed to have breached their obligations under Section 3.3(b)(2) as it relates to Prohibited Transferees with respect to the Transfer of Exchanged Shares or any other shares of capital stock of the Company to any Person (including through a Block Sale (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)) so long as such CD&R Shareholder Party acts in good faith, based on generally available public information and the advice of its legal and financial advisors and after reasonable inquiry, determines that neither such Person nor its Affiliates is a Prohibited Transferee. The reporting by a Person of its ownership of the securities of an issuer on Schedule 13G shall be deemed to establish conclusively that such person is not an Activist Investor with respect to such issuer for purposes of the definition of “Activist Investor”, except to the extent such person subsequently (but prior to such Transfer) files a Schedule 13D with respect to such issuer; provided that any such determination for any Person with respect to one issuer shall not preclude such Person from otherwise being an Activist Investor.

(d) Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 3.3(d), after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (or prior to such expiration, in respect of any Permitted Loan that satisfies the requirements set forth in clause (iv) of Section 3.3(a)) the CD&R Shareholder Parties shall be permitted to pledge the Lock-Up Shares in respect of one or more bona fide loans made to the CD&R Shareholder Parties by a Person who is not (and whose Affiliates are not) Prohibited Transferees (each, a “Permitted Loan”); provided, that, (i) at least five (5) business days prior to the execution of definitive documentation in respect of any such Permitted Loan and the consummation thereof, the CD&R Shareholder Parties shall provide (or have provided in the case of the Existing Permitted Loan) written notice to the Company of the identity of the lender or lenders thereunder and shall provide such other information about the lenders or the loan reasonably requested by the Company to comply with, or monitor compliance with, this Agreement, and (ii) any such Permitted Loan (including the Existing Permitted Loan) shall not be a Margin Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, any Permitted Loan entered into by such CD&R Shareholder Party shall only be with (or provided by) one or more commercial banks or financial institutions that are not Prohibited Transferees (such financial institutions or banks excluding any Prohibited Transferee, collectively referred to herein as “lenders”), and no Prohibited Transferee shall be permitted to have any direct or indirect interest in any such Permitted Loan (whether by participation or otherwise) and the definitive documentation in respect of any such Permitted Loan shall provide that any transfer, assignment or participation to any Prohibited Transferee will be void. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the ability of any lender (or its securities affiliate) or collateral agent to foreclose upon and sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer any Lock-Up Shares pledged to secure the obligations of the borrower following an event of default under a Permitted Loan, provided that no such sale, disposition or other transfer may be made to a Prohibited Transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any lender or other creditor with respect to a Permitted Loan (including any agent or trustee on their behalf) or any Affiliate of the foregoing exercises any rights or remedies in respect of the Lock-Up Shares or any other collateral for any Permitted Loan or Transfers or causes the Transfer of any Lock-Up Shares, no lender, creditor, agent, trustee or transferee or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (including any subsequent transferee of any of the foregoing but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the CD&R Shareholder Parties) shall be entitled to any rights under this Agreement, including under ARTICLE III (except under this Section 3.3(d)) or any of the board designation rights set forth in the Certificate of Designations (it being understood that such lender shall continue to have the economic rights associated with the ownership of the Preferred Stock as set forth in the Certificate of Designations (including the right to dividends and priority returns in the event of a liquidation)). In connection with any foreclosure of the Lock-Up Shares, the applicable lender, creditor, agent, trustee or transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company a written agreement pursuant to which it agrees to be bound by this Agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company. Subject to the terms set forth in this and the immediately succeeding sentence, on or after the date hereof, if requested by a CD&R Shareholder Party, at the sole cost and expense of the CD&R Shareholder Parties, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to provide such cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with such CD&R Shareholder Party obtaining any Permitted Loan, provided that any cooperation and assistance as the CD&R Shareholder may reasonably request will not unreasonably disrupt the operation of the Company’s business, which cooperation may include entering into such customary agreements (including an issuer agreement) in forms reasonably acceptable to the Company, and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause any transfer agent to take such actions and enter into such agreements, as are reasonably requested by a CD&R Shareholder Party. In connection with any cooperation or assistance contemplated pursuant to the foregoing sentence, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall (A) be required to pay any fees, expenses or other amounts in connection with obtaining any Permitted Loan, (B) be required to enter into, or cause any other person to enter into, any agreement or instrument unless it is on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company or (C) have any liability or obligation under any Permitted Loan or any related document or any other agreement or document in connection with any Permitted Loan (except for this Agreement and any agreement entered into by the Company or any such Subsidiary in accordance with this Section 3.3). In addition, nothing herein will require the Company or its Subsidiaries to provide (or be deemed to require the Company to prepare) any pro forma financial statements, projections or other prospective or non-public information in connection with any Permitted Loan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, no sale by any CD&R Shareholder Party (other than any CD&R Designee) of the Preferred Stock or any shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of any of the Preferred Stock or purchase by any CD&R Shareholder Party of any Common Stock of the Company (either directly or indirectly through another Person) shall be subject to any policies, procedures or limitations (other than any applicable federal securities laws and any other applicable laws) otherwise applicable to the CD&R Designees with respect to trading in the Company’s securities and the Company acknowledges and agrees that such policies, procedures or limitations applicable to the CD&R Designees shall not be violated by any such transfer or purchase, other than any applicable federal securities laws and any other applicable laws.

(f) The Company shall, at each Shareholder’s and CD&R II’s sole cost and expense, provide such reasonable cooperation as reasonably requested by such Shareholder and CD&R II and their respective Affiliates in connection with any transfer not prohibited by this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4. Board Representation. The Company and CD&R Shareholder acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 12 of the Certificate of Designations shall survive the repurchase, redemption, conversion and cancellation of the Preferred Stock and any termination or cancellation of the Certificate of Designations, and each of the Company and the CD&R Shareholder shall continue to comply with such provisions as if fully set forth at length herein following any such repurchase, redemption, conversion, cancellation or termination.

Section 3.5. Preemptive Rights.

(a) From the date hereof until such time as the CD&R Shareholder Parties cease to Beneficially Own at least twenty five percent (25%) of the Exchanged Shares received by the CD&R Shareholder pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (adjusted for subdivisions, stock-splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events; and provided that any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock shall be treated as that number of shares of Preferred Stock from which such shares of Common Stock were converted), if the Company makes any public or non-public offering of any Equity Securities or any securities to one or more Persons (other than a CD&R Shareholder Party) that are convertible or exchangeable into (or exercisable for) Equity Securities, including, for the purposes of this Section 3.5, warrants, options or other such rights to purchase such Equity Securities (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (1) pursuant to any employee or director benefit plan or the granting or exercise of employee stock options or RSUs or PRSUs or other equity incentives pursuant to the Company Equity Plans (or any successor or additional equity incentive plans of the Company for the benefit of employees, directors or other service providers of the Company) or employment or consulting or other service provider arrangements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) issuances made as consideration for any acquisition (by sale, merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or otherwise) by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof of equity in, or assets of, another Person, business unit, division or business, (3) issuances of any securities issued as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or reorganization or similar event, (4) issuances of Equity Securities issued upon conversion or exchange of, or as a dividend on, shares of Preferred Stock or other Equity Securities then outstanding and that were issued in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and (5) Equity Securities issued to (i) lenders in connection with bona fide debt financings, or (ii) to joint venture or strategic partners in exchange for contribution of assets (other than cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities) or services (in each case, other than a relationship focused on the raising of equity capital) approved by the Board of Directors) (such securities contemplated for issuance pursuant to clauses (1) through (5) of this proviso, “Exempted Securities”), the CD&R Shareholder and each CD&R Shareholder Party to whom the CD&R Shareholder later transfers any shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the CD&R Shareholder upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (or any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock) shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company such CD&R Shareholder Party’s Preemptive Rights Portion of such New Securities for the same price as that offered to the other purchasers of such Equity Securities or other securities (except, in the case of any Equity Securities otherwise subject to a public offering, the purchase price shall be the gross price of such Equity Securities and shall not be net of any underwriters’ discount, commission or similar fee); provided, that the CD&R Shareholder Parties shall not be entitled to acquire the portion of any New Securities pursuant to this Section 3.5 to the extent the portion of the issuance of such New Securities to the CD&R Shareholder Parties would require approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the rules and listing standards of the NYSE (or another Acceptable Exchange, as applicable), in which case the Company may, with respect to the portion of such New Securities so subject to approval of stockholders of the Company, consummate the proposed issuance of New Securities to other Persons without compliance with this Section 3.5(a) but subject to compliance by the Company with Section 3.5(f) below.

(b) Subject to the foregoing proviso in Section 3.5(a), the amount of New Securities that each CD&R Shareholder Party shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (1) the total number of such offered shares of New Securities by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of As-Converted Common Stock held by such CD&R Shareholder Party, as of the date of the Preemptive Rights Notice (or as of a date as close as reasonably practicable to such date), and the denominator of which is the number of shares of As-Converted Common Stock outstanding as of the date of the Preemptive Rights Notice (or as of a date as close as reasonably practicable to such date) (the “Preemptive Rights Portion”).

(c) If the Company proposes to offer New Securities that are subject to the preemptive rights of the CD&R Shareholder as set forth in this Section 3.5, it shall give the CD&R Shareholder Parties written notice (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”) of its intention, describing the anticipated price (or range of anticipated prices), anticipated amount of New Securities and other anticipated material terms and timing upon which the Company proposes to offer the same (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent possible, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement filed with respect to such offering) at least five (5) business days prior to such issuance (or, in the case of a registered public offering, at least five (5) business days prior to the commencement of such registered public offering) (provided that, to the extent the terms of such offering cannot reasonably be provided five (5) business days prior to such issuance, notice of such terms may be given as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event prior to such issuance) and the Company shall provide reasonable detail to the CD&R Shareholder if it determines that the proviso to Section 3.5(a) limits in whole or in part the number of New Securities that the CD&R Shareholder Parties may acquire. The Company may provide such notice to the CD&R Shareholder on a confidential basis prior to public disclosure of such offering. The CD&R Shareholder may notify the Company in writing at any time on or prior to the earlier of (i) three (3) business days following the delivery of the Preemptive Rights Notice, and (ii) the second (2^nd) business day immediately preceding the date of such issuance (or, if notice of all such terms has not been given earlier than the second (2^nd) business day immediately preceding the date of such issuance, at any time prior to such issuance) whether any of the CD&R Shareholder Parties will exercise such preemptive rights and as to the amount of New Securities the CD&R Shareholder Parties desire to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.5(a). Such notice to the Company shall constitute a binding commitment by the CD&R Shareholder Parties to purchase the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. Subject to the Company’s timely delivery of the Preemptive Rights Notice, the failure of the CD&R Shareholder Parties (or any of them) to respond by the time a response is required pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) shall be deemed to be a waiver of the CD&R Shareholder Parties’ purchase rights under this Section 3.5 only with respect to the offering described in the applicable Preemptive Rights Notice.

(d) Each CD&R Shareholder Party shall purchase the New Securities that it has elected to purchase under this Section 3.5 concurrently with the related issuance of such New Securities by the Company (subject to the receipt of any required approvals from any Governmental Entity to consummate such purchase by such CD&R Shareholder Party); provided, that if such related issuance is prior to the fifteenth (15th) business day following the date on which such CD&R Shareholder Party has notified the Company that it has elected to purchase New Securities pursuant to this Section 3.5, then each CD&R Shareholder Party shall purchase such New Securities within fifteen (15) business days following the date of the related issuance. If the proposed issuance by the Company of securities which gave rise to the exercise by the CD&R Shareholder Parties of its preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be terminated or abandoned by the Company without the issuance of any securities, then the purchase rights of the CD&R Shareholder Parties pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall also terminate as to such proposed issuance by the Company (but not any subsequent or future issuance), and any funds in respect thereof paid to the Company by the CD&R Shareholder Parties in respect thereof shall be refunded in full.

(e) In the case of the offering of securities for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Company Board; provided, however, that such fair value as determined by the Company Board shall not exceed the aggregate market price of the securities being offered as of the date the Company Board authorizes the offering of such securities.

(f) In the event that the CD&R Shareholder Parties are not entitled to acquire any New Securities pursuant to this Section 3.5 because such issuance would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of such New Securities to the CD&R Shareholder Parties pursuant to the rules and listing standards of NYSE (or another Acceptable Exchange, as applicable), the Company, including in the case of clause (i) of this Section 3.5(f) acting through the Company Board, shall, upon the CD&R Shareholder’s reasonable request delivered to the Company in writing within five (5) business days following its receipt of the written notice of such issuance to the CD&R Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.5(c), at the CD&R Shareholder’s election, (i) waive the restrictions set forth in Section 3.6 solely to the extent necessary to permit any CD&R Shareholder Party to acquire, prior to the date that is six months following such issuance, such number of New Securities that were not issued by application of the proviso to Section 3.5(a); (ii) consider and discuss in good faith modifications proposed by the CD&R Shareholder Parties to the terms and conditions of such portion of the New Securities which would otherwise be issued to the CD&R Shareholder Parties such that the Company would not be required to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of such New Securities as so modified; and/or (iii) solely to the extent that stockholder approval is required in connection with the issuance of Equity Securities (including New Securities) to Persons other than the CD&R Shareholder Parties, use reasonable best efforts to seek stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any New Securities to the CD&R Shareholder Parties.

(g) The election by any CD&R Shareholder Party to not exercise its subscription rights under this Section 3.5 in any one instance shall not affect its right as to any subsequent proposed issuance.

(h) The Company and the CD&R Shareholder Parties shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the CD&R Shareholder Parties’ rights pursuant to this Section 3.5, including using reasonable best efforts to secure any required approvals or consents (other than the approval of the stockholders of the Company unless otherwise expressly specified in Section 3.5(f)).

Section 3.6. Standstill. Each of CD&R Fund, the CD&R Shareholder Parties and the Other Shareholder agree that during the Standstill Period, without the prior written approval of the Company Board, such CD&R Fund, the CD&R Shareholder Parties and the Other Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to (either individually, or in concert with any other Person, or as a “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)):

(1) acquire, offer or seek to acquire, agree to acquire or make a proposal to acquire (except in nonpublic communications that would not reasonably be expected to require the Company, the CD&R Shareholder Parties, the Other Shareholder, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person to make any public announcement or other disclosure with respect thereto, including pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act), by purchase or otherwise, of record or through Beneficial Ownership, directly or indirectly, any Equity Securities, loans or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or direct or indirect rights to acquire any Equity Securities, loans or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for any such Equity Securities, loans or debt securities or any options or other derivative securities or contracts or instruments in any way related to the price of Equity Securities, loans or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or substantially all of the assets or property of the Company and its Subsidiaries (but in any case excluding any issuance by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof of any of the foregoing (A) to any CD&R Designee as compensation for their membership on the Company Board (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such compensation which a CD&R Designee has assigned to any CD&R Shareholder Party) or (B) as a result of a dividend payment on, or the conversion of, the Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Designations); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing or any other limitation imposed by this Agreement, any CD&R Fund, CD&R Shareholder Parties and their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to acquire shares of Common Stock in the open market or otherwise so long as, after giving effect to the acquisition thereof, the CD&R Fund, CD&R Shareholder Parties and their respective Affiliates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Other Shareholder), in the aggregate, would not Beneficially Own or have economic exposure to greater than 19.9% of the then outstanding Common Stock assuming the conversion into Common Stock of all shares of Preferred Stock held by the CD&R Fund, the CD&R Shareholder Parties and their respective Affiliates; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitation shall in no manner limit the Company’s obligation to pay dividends or any other premiums (including redemption premiums) on the Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Certificate of Designation (and, for purposes of the foregoing calculation, the CD&R Fund, CD&R Shareholder Parties and their respective Affiliates’ Beneficial Ownership and economic exposure shall not be impacted by any such premiums or dividends or any compensation assigned from the CD&R Designees described in the foregoing clause (A) to the extent in excess of 19.9%);

Section 3.9. D&O Indemnification / Insurance Priority Matters. Each CD&R Designee who serves as a member of the Company Board (including a CD&R Director) (collectively, the “Section 3.9 Persons”) shall be eligible to enter into an indemnification agreement consistent with then-current form entered into by other directors of the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any Section 3.9 Person who is a partner, member, employee, advisor or consultant of any member of the CD&R Group may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the applicable member of the CD&R Group (collectively, the “CD&R Indemnitors”). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and/or indemnification agreement to any Section 3.9 Person, in his or her capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable (such that the Company’s obligations to such indemnitees in their capacities as directors are primary and any obligation of the CD&R Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitees are secondary). Such indemnitees shall, in their capacities as directors, be entitled to all the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and entitled to insurance to the extent provided under (a) the Certificate of Incorporation and/or Bylaws of the Company as in effect from time to time and/or (b) such other agreement, if any, between the Company and such indemnitees, without regard to any rights such indemnitees may have against the CD&R Indemnitors. No advancement or payment by the CD&R Indemnitors on behalf of such indemnitees with respect to any claim for which such indemnitees have sought indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance from the Company in their capacities as directors shall affect the foregoing and the CD&R Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such indemnitees against the Company.

Section 3.10. NYSE Listing. At any time that any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company (x) shall from time to time take all lawful action within its control to cause the authorized capital stock of the Company to include a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy the conversion requirements of all shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding and (y) shall not effect any voluntary deregistration under the Exchange Act or any voluntary delisting of the Common Stock from NYSE except as part of a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) or if approved in writing by the CD&R Shareholder and CD&R II.

Section 3.11. Anti-Takeover Provisions. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to (a) use reasonable best efforts to take all reasonable action necessary within their control (other than waiving any of the Company’s rights under this Agreement) so that no “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation or any anti-takeover or similar provision in the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational documents of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof is applicable to the CD&R Shareholder Parties Beneficially Owning the Preferred Stock, the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, acquiring additional Preferred Stock and Common Stock or any New Securities, and (b) not adopt or repeal, as the case may be, any shareholder rights plan, “poison pill” or similar measure that is applicable to any of the foregoing or which would prevent any of the CD&R Shareholder Parties from exercising any of the rights contemplated hereby or by the Certificate of Designations or from acquiring Preferred Stock, Common Stock or New Securities without violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without limiting or waiving the approval already obtained from the Company Board in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, from time to time, upon the request of any of the CD&R Shareholder Parties, the Company shall take such further actions as reasonably requested by any of the CD&R Shareholder Parties such that the Company Board approves in advance any transaction permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that would result in one or more of the CD&R Shareholder Parties becoming an “interested stockholder” within the meaning Section 203 of the DGCL.

Except as necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.17, the documentation related to the Spin-Co Preferred Stock and the Preferred Stock, and the holders’ rights thereto, shall (except as otherwise agreed by the parties thereto) be substantially consistent with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations, this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case as in effect immediately prior to such spin-off transaction.
