WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Tyco Investor, Atkore International Group and CD&R Investor have entered into a Stock Redemption Agreement, dated as of April 9th, 2014 (the “Redemption Agreement”).

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Redemption Agreement, the Parties desire to terminate, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, certain agreements to which, in each case, one or more Atkore Parties and one or more Tyco Parties are party.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of such benefits and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

  1. Termination. Effective as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Effective Time”), all contracts listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Terminated Contracts”), shall be terminated. From and after the Effective Time, no Party shall have any further obligations or liabilities to each other whatsoever under, or pursuant to, any Terminated Contract, and each Party, does hereby release, discharge and acquit forever the other from any and all such obligations, liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action under, or pursuant to, the Terminated Contracts to which it is a party or their respective performance, breach or failure to perform thereunder.
