Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement serves to confirm the retention by Atkore International Group Inc. (the “Company”), Atkore International Holdings Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Atkore HoldCo”), and Atkore International Inc, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Atkore HoldCo (“Atkore”), of Xxxxxxx, Dubilier & Rice, LLC or any successor to its investment management business (“CD&R Manager”) to provide management, consulting and advisory services to the Company, Atkore HoldCo, Atkore and their respective divisions and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”), as follows:
1. Initial Services. CD&R Manager has performed certain consulting, advisory, financial and other services for the Company and Atkore, including assistance in connection with (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2010 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Investment Agreement”), by and among the Company, CD&R Allied Holdings, L.P. (“CD&R Investor”), Tyco International Holding S.a.r.l. (“Tyco”) and Tyco International Ltd., pursuant to which CD&R Investor purchased from Tyco, and Tyco sold to CD&R Investor, 306,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Investment”), (b) the retention of legal, accounting, insurance, investment banking, financial and other advisors and consultants in connection with the Investment, (c) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of equity commitment letters, fee and engagement letters, registration rights agreements and agreements, instruments and documents relating to the financing of the Investment and Atkore, (d) the preparation and circulation of information and offering memoranda and other materials in connection with the financing of the Investment and (e) the structuring, implementation and consummation of the Investment (collectively, the “Initial Services”). As compensation for the Initial Services, immediately following the later of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and the date of the consummation of the Investment, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its subsidiaries to, on behalf of the Company Group (subject to Section 5), pay CD&R Manager a fee of $15,000,000 in
accordance with (and without duplication with respect to such payment made pursuant to) the Investment Agreement.
2. Consulting Services.
(a) The Company, Atkore HoldCo and Atkore have retained CD&R Manager, and CD&R Manager hereby agrees to accept such retention, to provide to the Company Group, when and if called upon, certain management, consulting, advisory and monitoring services of the type customarily performed by CD&R Manager and its affiliates (collectively, the “Consulting Services”). As compensation for the Consulting Services, commencing on the Effective Date, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its subsidiaries to, on behalf of the Company Group (subject to Section 5), pay CD&R Manager an annual amount equal to CD&R Manager’s Pro Rata Share of $6,000,000 per year (the “Advisory Fee”), payable in quarterly installments in advance (except in the case of the initial Advisory Fee, as provided in the next succeeding sentence) on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year (each, a “Consulting Services Payment Date”), with CD&R Manager’s Pro Rata Share for this purpose calculated as of the day immediately following March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15, as applicable, preceding the applicable Consulting Services Payment Date. The initial Advisory Fee shall be pro rated to reflect the portion of the current fiscal year which has elapsed prior to the Effective Date and shall be payable on the Consulting Services Payment Date for the first calendar quarter commencing after the date hereof (together with the quarterly installment for such quarter). As used in this letter agreement, CD&R Manager’s “Pro Rata Share” means, at any time, the quotient obtained (expressed as a percentage) by dividing (x) the number of Outstanding Capital Shares owned by CD&R Investor (together with its Permitted Affiliate Transferees) as of such time by (y) the aggregate number of Outstanding Capital Shares owned by CD&R Investor and Tyco (together with their respective Permitted Affiliate Transferees) as of such time; provided, however, that, if Tyco owns (together with its Permitted Affiliate Transferees) a number of Outstanding Capital Shares representing less than the Minimum Governance Amount at such time, then CD&R Manager’s Pro Rata Share shall be 100%, unless and until this letter agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11(b). The Advisory Fee may be increased only by the Company and in compliance with Section 2.10 of the Stockholders Agreement. The Advisory Fee may not be decreased without the prior written consent of CD&R Manager and other than in compliance with Section 2.10 of the Stockholders Agreement.
(b) The Consulting Services shall not include financial advisory, investment banking or similar services in connection with any proposed acquisitions, mergers, recapitalizations, reorganizations, sales or dispositions of assets or any other similar transactions directly or indirectly involving members of the Company Group (collectively, the “Financial Services”). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Company or any other member of the Company Group may from time to time choose to discuss with CD&R Manager or its affiliates possible future engagements to perform
additional services (including, without limitation, Financial Services) that are not part of the Consulting Services, in which case the parties will at such time discuss the scope of such services and the amount of additional compensation payable to CD&R Manager for providing such services; provided, however, that the Company or any other member of the Company Group shall not engage any affiliates of CD&R Manager to provide any Financial Services to members of the Company Group other than in compliance with Section 2.10 of the Stockholders Agreement.
3. Reimbursement of Expenses. In addition to the Advisory Fee, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its subsidiaries to, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Company Group (subject to Section 5), reimburse CD&R Manager and its affiliates, and its and their respective employees and agents, from time to time upon request, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred after the date hereof in the course of rendering the Consulting Services, including travel expenses and reasonable expenses of any legal, accounting or other professional advisors to CD&R Manager or its affiliates incurred by CD&R Manager in the course of rendering the Consulting Services; provided, however, that the Company Group shall not reimburse CD&R Manager under this letter agreement for an annual amount of expenses in excess of $1,000,000 other than in compliance with Section 2.10 of the Stockholders Agreement. CD&R Manager may submit monthly expense statements to the Company or any other member of the Company Group, which statements shall be payable within 30 days. Nothing in this Section 3 shall limit any obligations of the Company to reimburse any costs and expenses to CD&R Manager, its subsidiaries or affiliates under the Investment Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, CD&R Investor, Tyco and the other stockholders of the Company party thereto from time to time (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”), the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company and the stockholders of the Company party thereto from time to time, as the same may be amended from time to time, or the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, Atkore HoldCo, Atkore, CD&R Manager, CD&R Investor, Xxxxxxx, Dubilier & Rice Fund VIII, L.P., CD&R Friends & Family Fund VIII, L.P., CD&R Allied Advisor Co-Investor, L.P. and Xxxxxxx, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “CD&R Indemnification Agreement”).

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) CD&R Manager will rely on the Information and on information available from generally recognized public sources in performing the Consulting Services and (ii) none of CD&R Manager,

(b) Each of the Company, Atkore HoldCo and Atkore hereby consents to CD&R Manager sharing any information it receives from the Company Group with any affiliates of CD&R Manager (other than other portfolio companies) and to the internal use by CD&R Manager and such affiliates of any information received from the Company Group, subject, however, to (i) CD&R Manager maintaining adequate procedures to prevent such information from being used in connection with the purchase or sale of securities of the Company in violation of applicable law, (ii) the recipient of such information being subject to an agreement (or being under a duty of trust or confidence) to use such information only for purposes of performing Consulting Services hereunder and to maintain such shared information in confidence, and (iii) compliance with Section 5.4 of the Stockholders Agreement.
5.

If, at any time, no member of the Company Group is permitted to make any payment or reimbursement due to CD&R Manager under this letter agreement under the terms of any credit agreement, indenture or other financing agreement to which any member of the Company Group is a party, such obligations shall accrue as provided herein, but payment or reimbursement thereof shall be deferred until such time as (a) such payments are no longer prohibited under the terms of the applicable agreement, or (b) the amounts due thereunder are repaid in full. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, all amounts due CD&R Manager under this Agreement shall be paid to CD&R Manager before any liquidating distributions or similar payments are made to stockholders of the Company.
6. Applicability of Indemnification Agreement. The Company, Atkore HoldCo and Atkore (on behalf of themselves and the other members of the Company Group) hereby acknowledge and agree that the services provided by CD&R Manager hereunder, including the Initial Services and the Consulting Services, are being provided subject to the terms of this letter agreement (including, without limitation, Section 15) and the CD&R Indemnification Agreement.
7. Opinions, etc. Any advice or opinions provided by CD&R Manager or its affiliates may not be disclosed or referred to publicly or to any third party (other than to the Company Group’s legal, tax, financial or other advisors), except in accordance with CD&R Manager’s prior written consent or if required by law or applicable legal process, or in judicial or administrative proceedings.
8. Independent Contractor. CD&R Manager shall act as an independent contractor, with duties (to the extent arising by virtue of its engagement hereunder) solely to the Company Group. The Company, Atkore HoldCo and Atkore acknowledge and agree that CD&R Manager may, in its sole discretion, remove or substitute any of the members of, or add members to, the team of professional employees of CD&R Manager and its affiliates that will be providing Consulting Services pursuant to this letter agreement, and that any such removal, substitution or addition shall not in any way modify or affect any of the obligations of the Company Group hereunder, including its obligation to pay the Advisory Fee or reimburse any expenses. None of CD&R Manager and its affiliates and their respective employees and agents shall, solely by virtue of this letter agreement or the arrangements hereunder, be considered employees or agents of any member of the Company Group, nor shall any of them have authority hereunder to contract in the name of or bind any member of the Company Group, except (a) to the extent that any professional employee of CD&R Manager or any of its affiliates may be serving as a director or an officer of any member of the Company Group or (b) as expressly agreed to in writing by such member of the Company Group.
9. Governing Law; Arbitration.
(a) This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws to the extent that such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS. If the disputed claim or counterclaim exceeds $250,000, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Comprehensive Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration shall govern the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual written agreement of the parties.

Any party hereto may waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this letter agreement with respect to itself for any purpose.
