WHEREAS, each party acknowledges that the other party is releasing and waiving rights that such party holds, which party is not otherwise obligated to release or waive;

WHEREAS, the parties are party to a formal written employment agreement dated September 16, 2021 (the “Offer Letter”) and Associate and the Company wish to enter an agreement to evidence their intent to sever their employment relationship effective on the Termination Date (as defined below) and resolve any and all claims or potential claims that either party may have against the other party or the RELEASEES (as defined below), from the beginning of time through the date which both parties have signed this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company and Associate, each as a matter of policy in terminating its relationship with the other expressly deny any wrongdoing whatsoever including, but not limited to, with respect to the Company denial, any conduct with respect to any aspect of Associate’s employment, attendant employment benefits and/or termination of employment and any violation of any federal, state or local statute, ordinance or law which pertains to employment and/or attendant employment benefits, and with respect to the Associate denial, any conduct with respect to any aspect of Associate’s employment in accordance with her terms of employment or in accordance with any applicable laws, rules or regulations; and

(d)Upon the termination of Associate’s employment due to the voluntary resignation, death or disability of Associate before the Termination Date, for purposes of clarity, such event shall not be deemed Cause for termination (as defined in the Amended and Restated Primo Water Corporation Severance and Non-Competition Plan (the “Severance Plan”)), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary all rights of Associate to be paid any consideration pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid in full without reduction, restriction or subject to any repayment arising from any such termination, to Associate if then living or otherwise upon her death to the designee that Associate specifies in writing to Company to be the transferee on death (and if none, to Associate’s spouse, if then surviving, and if not, to her estate) at the time it would be otherwise paid to Associate had such termination not occurred, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including execution of a release consistent with the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement), except that the salary for Associate shall be payable until such termination date.

(a)Associate hereby warrants, represents and certifies that Associate has not filed or instituted (and, no person or agency has filed or instituted on Associate’s behalf and/or at Associate’s direction – and if filed not at Associate’s direction, Associate will seek dismissal of) any complaints, lawsuits, actions, causes of action, in law or equity, administrative charges, claims, controversies, demands, grievances and/or proceedings whatsoever against any RELEASEE, in any forum including, but not limited to, any federal, state and local court, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”), the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, the Connecticut Department of Labor, the Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity, the Georgia Department of Labor, the United States Department of Labor and the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or any other equivalent state government agency and, to the extent that any administrative charge has been or is filed with the EEOC or any other equivalent state government agency by or on Associate’s behalf, Associate agrees not to seek or in any way obtain or accept any monetary award, recovery or settlement therefrom and agrees that Associate understands that such limitation does not in any way restrict Associate’s ability to pursue such charge.

(b)Each party hereby releases and forever discharges the other party and with respect to such release and discharge of the Company, its insurers, affiliates, divisions, parents, subsidiaries, any merged entity or merged entities, prior and successor entities, and/or its and their present and former officers, partners, directors, employees, agents, shareholders and/or successors, assigns, trustees, heirs, administrators, executors, representatives and/or principals thereof (together referred to as “RELEASEES”), from all claims, actions, causes of action, lawsuits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, bonuses, controversies, agreements, promises, claims, charges, complaints and demands whatsoever, whether in law or equity, known or unknown, against either party or the RELEASEES, that the other party, and, if any, its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, may now have or hereafter later determine that a partyhas or had upon, or by reason of, any cause or thing whatsoever, including, but not limited to, with respect to claims of Associate, claims arising under the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”), the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), the Equal Pay Act (“EPA”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001 et seq., as amended including, but not limited to, breach of fiduciary duty and equitable claims brought under § 1132(a)(3) (“ERISA”), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (state or federal), as amended, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1871 and 1991, including Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act, the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”), the Family Medical Leave Act (to the extent permitted by law), and/or with respect to claims of any party, claims arising under any other federal, state or local human rights, civil rights, wage-hour, pension, whistleblower, or labor law, rule, statute, regulation, constitution or ordinance and/or public policy, contract or tort law, or any claim of retaliation under such laws, or any claim of breach of any contract (whether express, oral, written or implied from any source), or any claim of intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, tortious interference with contractual relations, wrongful or abusive or constructive discharge, defamation, discrimination, failure to accommodate, interference with leave rights (including but not limited to family, medical,

sick, or personal leaves), retaliation, harassment, failure to retain records, prima facie tort, fraud, negligence, loss of consortium, malpractice, breach of duty of care, breach of fiduciary duty or any action similar thereto against Associate, the Company, or any of other RELEASEES, including any claim for attorneys’ fees, expenses or costs based upon any conduct from the beginning of the world up to and including the Effective Date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Associate does not waive any right to file an administrative charge with the EEOC, subject to the condition that Associate agrees not to seek, or in any way obtain or accept, any monetary award, recovery or settlement therefrom; and further provided, however, that Associate does not waive any rights with respect to, or release the Company from, payments of any and all benefits and/or monies earned, accrued, vested or otherwise owing, if any, to Associate under the terms of the Company’s retirement, savings, deferred compensation and/or profit sharing plan(s) or any claims for state Disability or Workers’ Compensation benefits (except that Associate hereby releases and waives any claims that Associate’s termination was to avoid payment of such benefits or payments or that, as a result of Associate’s termination, Associate is entitled to additional benefits or payments); and further provided, however, that Associate does not release any claim of breach of the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, for clarity, the Company confirms that Associate does not release or waive any claims arising out of facts or events occurring after her execution of this Agreement.

(c)Associate is entitled in the remainder of her term of employment to accept and serve on up to three (3) seats at any time on the boards of directors of other companies, subject to compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in the Offer Letter and Severance Plan;

(d)Thus, for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the parties and RELEASEES, each party hereto expressly acknowledges that this general release is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which a party does not know or suspect to exist in such party’s favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this general release contemplates the extinguishment of any such claim or claims.

(e)Associate agrees to immediately seek and obtain dismissal with prejudice of any complaint, lawsuit, action, cause of action, administrative charge, claim, controversy, demand, grievance or proceeding (unless such proceeding is a class action, in which case Associate agrees to “opt out” of the class and not participate in the class action and such proceeding is at or initiated by the EEOC) in the event that, for any reason, any complaint, lawsuit, action, cause of action, administrative charge, claim, controversy, demand, grievance or proceeding covered by Paragraphs 2 is currently pending or is instituted hereafter in violation of Associate’s obligations in this Agreement on Associate’s behalf, and to not, unless required by law to do so (and then subject to the terms of Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3), testify, provide documents or otherwise participate or request others to participate on Associate’s behalf in any such proceeding or litigation arising therefrom or associated therewith, except to the extent compelled by law including but not limited to, if subject to legal sanction or penalty imposed by judicial or statutory requirements, and, subject to only such exception, in no event, from any such source or proceeding whatsoever, to seek, or in any way obtain or accept any monetary award, recovery, settlement or relief therefrom. Associate’s obligation to dismiss and/or withdraw any and all complaints includes, but is not limited to, any complaint made internally to the Company or any of the RELEASEES – via any medium including, but not limited to, the Company’s Ethics Point hotline – either in Associate’s own name or anonymously, about any of the RELEASEES or any associate, employee, agent, or representative of any of the RELEASEES. Should Associate file or otherwise bring a claim in violation of Paragraph 2 or fail to seek and obtain such dismissal or withdrawal or “opt out” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Associate will, at the option of the Company, be considered in material breach of this Agreement.

(f)Promise Not to Sue: A “promise not to sue” means that a party promises not to knowingly sue any other party (which in the case of barring Associate from suing, includes barring Associate from suing either the Company or any other RELEASEE) in court for any claim which has been released under this Agreement or pursuant to any release signed as it requires. This is different

-4-

ACTIVE.126833628.02

from the General Release above. Besides releasing claims covered by that General Release, Associate and Company each agrees never to knowingly sue the other (and further, Associate agrees not to knowingly sue any other RELEASEE) for any reason covered by that General Release or any other release that the parties sign as this Agreement requires. Despite this Promise Not to Sue, however, Associate or the Company may file suit to enforce their respective rights under or arising out of this Agreement or the Offer Letter or the Severance Plan. If Associate or the Company sues the other, or if Associate sues any other RELEASEE, in violation of this Agreement, the party so violating such commitment shall be required to pay that other party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs incurred in defending against violator’s suit.

(g)Any and All Work-Related Injuries and Accidents Reported: By signing this Agreement, Associate affirmatively represents that as of the date of Associate signing this Agreement, Associate has already reported any and all work-related injuries that Associate has ever sustained, and/or accidents Associate has ever been involved in, during Associate’s employment with the Company, to the extent Associate had ever incurred any work-related injuries or been in involved in any work-related accidents.

(h)RELEASEE Claims Against Associate: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any RELEASEE were to bring, induce any third party to bring, or aid or abet any third party to bring, any claim or other action against Associate, nothing is intended to prevent or in any way restrict Associate from defending against such claim or other action in any lawful manner, and such rights of Associate shall include, but not be limited to, filing and prosecuting counter-claims or cross-claims regarding the subject matter of the claim or other action against Associate, regardless of any releases or other terms of this Agreement, to seek to enforce all rights and assert all defenses available at law or in equity to or for the benefit of Associate.

3.Separation of Employment: Associate recognizes and agrees that Associate’s last day of

employment and effective termination date shall be July 1, 2023 (“Termination Date”). Associate further recognizes and agrees that Associate’s employment relationship with the Company and/or any of the other RELEASEES has been permanently and irrevocably severed as of the Termination Date. Accordingly, Associate agrees that Associate will not seek and hereby waives any claim for employment, reinstatement, re-employment, assignment or otherwise (as a full-time or part-time employee, temporary worker, independent contractor or consultant or any other position in which Associate receives payment either directly or indirectly from the Company) with the Company or any of its affiliated companies or any merged or acquired entity or entities, at any time in the future, and that, if offered such employment, re-employment, assignment or work, Associate will decline such offer, and that this Agreement shall be a complete bar to any such application for employment or re-employment; provided, however, that the terms and application of this paragraph may be waived in writing by a duly authorized representative of the employing entity at issue in its sole discretion, which writing makes specific reference to this Agreement. Associate agrees that any refusal to hire or engage Associate in the future shall be pursuant to the Parties’ mutual agreement embodied in this Agreement and shall not be actionable as unlawful in any way. Moreover, Associate agrees that as of the date hereof, Associate will be deemed to have resigned all corporate officer or director positions held by Associate with the Company and any of the other RELEASEES as of the date hereof, and Associate agrees to execute written tenders of resignation as may be requested by the Company to evidence such resignations. Finally, Associate agrees that, as of the date hereof, she is no longer an “executive officer” or “reporting insider” for purposes of applicable securities laws.

4.Non-Disparagement and Employment Verification:

(a)In addition to the non-disparagement terms of Associate’s Offer Letter (which shall survive this Agreement), each party agrees to not disparage or impugn the reputation of the other party or, with respect to Associate’s own actions, of any other RELEASEE, and to not post any

ACTIVE.126833628.02

negative comments about the other party, or with respect to Associate’s own actions, of any RELEASEE, on any social media platform including any in-person, electronic, or online chatrooms or message boards (e.g., Facebook, Linked-In, Craigslist, AOL, etc.).

(b)Associate and the Company also agree that, for employment verification purposes, Associate may direct prospective employers to the Company at the contact below and that the Company will confirm with the prospective employer only Associate’s dates of employment and last position held, without substantive commentary on Associate’s performance:

Associate further agrees to continue to discharge Associate’s duty of confidentiality with respect to all trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information which Associate received by virtue of Associate’s employment with the Company. Additionally, Associate agrees that Associate has advised the Company of all facts of which Associate is aware that Associate believes may constitute a violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct and/or the Company’s legal obligations. Associate also understands, acknowledges, and agrees that Associate has certain ongoing obligations as set forth in Section 5 of the Offer Letter and Section 7 of the Severance Plan which shall survive Associate’s termination of employment, and shall remain in effect according to the terms of the Offer Letter and the Severance Plan. Associate agrees that any breach of these ongoing obligations shall be subject to a claim for damages or equitable relief (or both), including but not limited to injunctive relief.

7.Payment of All Compensation Due: Other than bonuses or incentive consideration due pursuant to the Offer Letter or this Agreement, future payroll, reimbursement and other amounts not yet accrued and due, Associate warrants, represents, agrees and certifies that Associate has been paid and/or has received any and all compensation, salary, wages, overtime, regular straight time wages, minimum wages, bonuses, commissions, expense reimbursements, and/or benefits to which Associate is, was, may be, or may have ever been entitled from the Company and/or any other RELEASEES under any Canadian (federal or provincial) or U.S. federal, state, or local statute, law, or ordinance, or common law, or contract.

Additionally, the Company may need Associate’s assistance with other operational or regulatory matters, including assistance with the completion of the Company’s proxy statements and other filings.
