Xxxxxx Securities LLC is acting as representative (the “Representative” or the “Manager”), an aggregate of 115,000,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Xxxxx Xxxxxx, a GE company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

The Sellers also propose to sell to the several Underwriters not more than an additional 17,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “Additional Shares”) if and to the extent that you, as Manager of the offering, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase such shares of common stock granted to the Underwriters in Section 3 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, together with the shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of the Company, to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock.”

Prior to, and in conjunction with, the consummation of the offering contemplated by this underwriting agreement (this “Agreement”), pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2017 (the “Exchange Agreement”), among GE, the Company and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, a GE company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BHGE LLC”), the Selling Stockholder will, and will cause one or more of the other Sellers to, exchange an aggregate number of Paired Interests (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) (“Paired Interests”) equal to (i) the number of Firm Shares for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (such exchange, the “Initial Exchange”) plus (ii) if the Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, elects to exercise the option to purchase any of the Additional Shares, a number of Paired Interests equal to the number of Additional Shares so elected for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (such exchange, the “Additional Exchange” and, together with the Initial Exchange, the “Exchanges”). The shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company to be received by the Sellers in connection with the Exchanges are being sold pursuant to this Agreement.

In connection with this offering of the Shares and conditional upon the settlement of the Firm Shares, the Company has agreed to repurchase from GE Oil & Gas US Holdings I, Inc., in a privately negotiated transaction, $250,000,000 of Paired Interests at the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 3) (the “Repurchase”), pursuant to the Equity Repurchase Agreement dated as of September 9, 2019, by and among GE, the Company and BHGE LLC (the “Repurchase Agreement”).

The registration statement as amended at the time it became effective, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”; the prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of Shares (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.”

For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the documents and pricing information set forth in Schedule III hereto, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person.

3. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. Each Seller hereby agrees to sell, severally and not jointly, and the Selling Stockholder hereby agrees to cause each other Seller to sell, to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from each of the Sellers at $21.07 per Share (the “Purchase Price”) the number of Firm Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be sold by each of the Sellers as set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule II hereto and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased by all the Underwriters from all of the Sellers hereunder.

On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, each Seller agrees to sell, severally and not jointly, and the Selling Stockholder agrees to cause each other Seller to sell, to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not

jointly, at the Purchase Price up to the applicable number of Additional Shares, if any, set forth opposite such Seller’s name in Schedule I, provided, however, that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any Additional Shares shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on such Additional Shares. You may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholder not later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such shares are to be purchased. The number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) to be sold by each Seller, if any, to each Underwriter shall be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be sold by each of the Sellers as set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto, if any, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased by all the Underwriters from all of the Sellers pursuant to the exercise notice. Each purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Shares nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice. Additional Shares may be purchased as provided in Section 5 hereof. On each day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares. Any such election to purchase Additional Shares shall be made in proportion to the maximum number of Additional Shares to be sold by each Seller as set forth opposite its name in Schedule I hereto.

The Company hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period ending 90 days after the date of the Prospectus (the “Restricted Period”), (a) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of any class of stock of the Company or any limited liability company units or other membership interests of BHGE LLC (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) or any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Restricted Securities; or (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 any Restricted Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; (c) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any Restricted Securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Restricted Securities or (d) publicly announce any intention to engage in any of the transactions described in clauses (a) through (c) above.

The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to (a) the Shares to be sold by the Sellers hereunder, (b) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, (c) the issuance by the Company of options to purchase shares of Common Stock and other equity incentive compensation, including restricted stock or restricted stock units, under stock option or similar plans described in the Time of Sale Prospectus or under stock option or similar plans of companies acquired by the Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement, (d) any shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of options granted under such stock option or similar plans described in the Time of Sale Prospectus or under stock option or similar plans of companies acquired by the Company in effect on the date of this Agreement, (e) the filing by the Company of any registration statement on Form S-8 with the Commission relating to the offering of securities pursuant to the terms of such stock option or similar plans, (f) the issuance by the Company of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock in connection with an acquisition or business combination (including the filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 or other appropriate form with respect thereto), provided that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock the Company may issue or agree to issue pursuant to this clause (f) during the Restricted Period shall not exceed 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the closing date of the offering of the Shares and provided further that, in the case of any issuance pursuant to this clause (f), any recipient of shares of Common Stock shall have executed and delivered to the Representative a lock-up agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, (g) the Repurchase, or (h) the issuance by the Company of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion or exchange of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, together with Common Units (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, each Seller agrees to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including its counsel, its costs and expenses relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Shares and all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of each Seller hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section.

The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect any agreement that the Company and the Selling Stockholder may otherwise have for the allocation of such expenses among themselves.

10. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

11. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Underwriter, (ii) the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter, (iii) each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (iv) each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses

reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any of the Underwriters consists of the information described as such in Section 11(c) hereof. The Company agrees and confirms that references to “affiliates” of any Underwriter that appear in this Agreement shall, with respect to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, be understood to include Mitsubishi UFJ Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Securities Co., Ltd.

(b) The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to the information relating to the Selling Stockholder and the other Sellers furnished to the Company or Underwriters by the Selling Stockholder or any of the other Sellers for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, any road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood that such information with respect to the Sellers is limited to the names of the Sellers, the number of Shares offered by the Sellers and the address and other information with respect to the Sellers that appear in the footnotes under the caption “Selling Stockholders” in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (collectively, the “Selling Stockholder Information”); provided that the liability of the Selling Stockholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares sold by the Sellers under this Agreement.

(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Sellers, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Seller within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company and each Seller hereby acknowledges that the only information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto are the following statements set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto under the caption “Underwriting”: the third, seventh and thirteenth paragraphs.

(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (iii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iv) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party. It is understood that the

indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Underwriter Indemnitees, (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Sellers and all persons, if any, who control any Seller within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriter Indemnitees, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representative. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such separate firm for the Sellers and such control persons of any Seller, such firm shall be designated in writing by GE. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this Section 11(d), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statements to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such Section, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 11(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 11(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on

the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Sellers and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Sellers on the one hand or by the Underwriters on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The liability of the Selling Stockholder under the contribution agreement contained in this Section 11(e) shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares sold by the Sellers under this Agreement.

(f) The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 11(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 11(e) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 11 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 11 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Sellers contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter Indemnitee, the Sellers or any person controlling any of the

Sellers, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, as between the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Stockholder and the other Sellers, on the other hand, nothing in this Section 11 shall supersede or otherwise affect the indemnification or contribution provisions set forth in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 31, 2019, between GE and the Company (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

12. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

13. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and the Sellers for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall

terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Sellers. In any such case either you or the Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Sellers to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or any of the Sellers shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

14. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Section 14, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance

with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

15. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares; it being understood that, as between the Company and GE, this Agreement shall not supersede or otherwise affect the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or .pdf signature and a facsimile or .pdf signature shall constitute an original for all purposes.

17. Applicable Law. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.

18. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

19. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you in care of X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk; if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to Xxxxx Xxxxxx, a GE company, 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx X.

X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC

c/o X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC

000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, as Representative of the several Underwriters (as defined below) (the “Representative”), proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Xxxxx Xxxxxx, a GE company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Sellers (as defined therein) providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including the Representative (the “Underwriters”), of certain shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. References to “Restricted Securities” shall be deemed to refer to any class of stock of the Company and any limited liability company units or other membership interests of Xxxxx Xxxxxx, a GE company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Restricted Securities, (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Restricted Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) publicly announce any intention to engage in any of the transactions described in clauses (1) or (2) above. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to:

A-1

(a) transactions relating to Restricted Securities or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering;

(b) the conversion or exchange of shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, together with Common Units (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), into shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company pursuant to the Exchange Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Restricted Securities received by the undersigned shall be subject to all of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement;

(c) if the undersigned is a natural person, transfers of Restricted Securities or any security convertible into Restricted Securities by gift to immediate family members of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or immediate family members of the undersigned or as a bona fide gift;

(d) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, a disposition, transfer or distribution of Restricted Securities or any security convertible into Restricted Securities to limited or general partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned;
