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 and all persons, if any, who control the Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of the Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (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 Selling Shareholder and all persons, if any, who control the Selling Shareholder 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 and such control persons and affiliates of the Underwriter, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter. 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 Selling Shareholder and such control persons of the Selling Shareholder, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Selling Shareholder. 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 paragraph, 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 (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault, culpability or a 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 paragraph, 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 Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriter 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 Selling Shareholder bear to the result of the price at which the Underwriter sells the Shares less the price at which the Underwriter purchases the Shares from the Selling Shareholder. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder together on the one hand, and the Underwriter 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 either the Company or the Selling Shareholder or by the Underwriter, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f) The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation 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, the Underwriter shall not 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 the 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 Selling Shareholder 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 the Underwriter, any person controlling the Underwriter or any affiliate of the Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder or any person controlling the Selling Shareholder, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

12. Termination. The Underwriter may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Underwriter to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to or on 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 American, 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 the Underwriter’s judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the Underwriter’s 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. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriter because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Selling Shareholder to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 12(ii) hereof, or if for any reason the Company or the Selling Shareholder shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as applicable, will reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

14. 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 Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, 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.

(b) The Selling Shareholder and the Company each acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriter has acted at arm’s length, is not an agent of, and owes no fiduciary duties to, the Selling Shareholder or the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriter owes the Selling Shareholder and the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Underwriter may have interests that differ from those of the Selling Shareholder and the Company and (iv) the Underwriter may be required or choose to provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures to the Selling Shareholder and the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, but none of the activities of the Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriter with respect to any entity or natural person, including any recommendation to participate in the transactions contemplated herein, enter into this Agreement, or sell any Shares at the price determined in this Agreement, and nothing set forth in such disclosures is intended to suggest that the Underwriter is making such a recommendation. The Selling Shareholder and the Company each waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriter arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

15. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that the Underwriter is a Covered Entity and becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from the 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 the Underwriter is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of the Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against the 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 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 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

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. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

17. Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

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 Underwriter shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the Underwriter in care of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk, with a copy to the Legal Department; if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel; if to the Selling Shareholder shall be delivered, mailed or sent to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

20. Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agents for Service. (a) The Selling Shareholder irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in The City of New York (the “Specified Courts”) over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the offering of the Shares (each, a “Related Proceeding”). The Selling Shareholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such Related Proceeding brought in such a court has been

brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that the Selling Shareholder has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Selling Shareholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding.

(b) The Selling Shareholder herby irrevocably appoints C T Corporation, with offices at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as its agent for service of process in any Related Proceeding and agrees that service of process in any such Related Proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent. The Selling Shareholder waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Shareholder represents and warrants that such agent has agreed to act as the Selling Shareholder’s agent for service of process, and the Selling Shareholder agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect.

21. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

22. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriter is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients, including the Company and the Selling Shareholder, which information may include the name and address of its clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify its clients.

23. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein and the affiliates of the Underwriter. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Shares from the Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

24. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the Underwriter and the Selling Shareholder agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriter could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Selling Shareholder with respect to any sum due from it to the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by the Underwriter or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that the Underwriter or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United

States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, the Selling Shareholder agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Underwriter or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, the Underwriter or controlling person agrees to pay the Selling Shareholder an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Underwriter or controlling person hereunder.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

New York, New York 10179

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC (the “Underwriter”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Keurig ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Selling Stockholder named in Schedule I thereto (the “Selling Stockholder”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the Underwriter of shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

To induce the Underwriter to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 60 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement (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 shares of Common Stock 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 Common Stock, (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 the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, in cash or otherwise or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(a) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions,

(b) transfers or dispositions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible or exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock (i) as a bona fide gift or charitable contribution, or for bona fide estate planning purposes, (ii) if the undersigned is a natural person, to any member of the undersigned’s immediate family (as defined below) or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned or if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor, a trustee or a beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a trustor, trustee or beneficiary of such trust, (iii) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other business entity, (1) to limited partners, members, stockholders or holders of similar equity interests in the undersigned (or in each case its nominee or custodian) or (2) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity (or in each case its nominee or custodian) that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned, (iv) upon death or by will, testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the undersigned, or (v) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iv); provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii) and (b)(v), each donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement for the balance of the Restricted Period and, in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (b)(ii), (b)(iii) and (b)(v), no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period, other than as a result of the filing of a Form 4 required by another event that is otherwise permissible under this agreement,

(c) the establishment of a trading plan on behalf of a shareholder, officer or director of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period,

(d) transfers or sales to the Company in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock (or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) granted under any existing stock incentive plan or stock purchase plan of the Company, which plan is described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (including the information incorporated by reference therein), provided that the underlying shares shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this agreement and provided further that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of the underlying shares, or other public announcement reporting, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period,

(e) the transfer of shares of Common Stock (or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) to the Company pursuant to any existing stock incentive plan or stock purchase plan of the Company, which plan is described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (including the information incorporated by reference therein), upon a vesting or settlement event of the Company’s restricted stock units or other securities or

A-2

upon the exercise of options to purchase the Company’s securities on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis to the extent permitted by the instruments representing such options (and any transfer to the Company necessary in respect of such amount needed for the payment of taxes, including estimated taxes and withholding tax and remittance obligations, due as a result of such vesting, settlement or exercise whether by means of a “net settlement” or otherwise) so long as such vesting, settlement, “cashless” exercise or “net exercise” is effected solely by the surrender of outstanding options (or the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof) or shares of Common Stock to the Company and the Company’s cancellation of all or a portion thereof to pay the exercise price and/or withholding tax and remittance obligations in connection with the vesting, settlement or exercise of the restricted stock unit, option or other equity award, provided that the shares received upon vesting, settlement or exercise of the restricted stock unit, option or other equity award are subject to this agreement, and provided further that if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the undersigned shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in this subpart (e),

(f) the transfer or disposition of the undersigned’s Common Stock (or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) that occurs by operation of law, pursuant to the rules of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, provided that each transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement and provided further that any associated filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in this subpart (f),

(g) the transfer of shares of Common Stock (or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidated or other similar transaction made to all holders of the capital stock of the Company involving a change of control (as defined below) of the Company which occurs after the consummation of the Public Offering, is open to all holders of the Company capital stock and has been approved by the board of directors of the Company; provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Common Stock owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this agreement,

(h) pledges of Common Stock (or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) as collateral in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of a loan agreement and any related pledge and security agreements that were entered into prior to the date hereof (as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified, extended, refinanced, replaced and/or renewed from time to time), and any subsequent foreclosure on such collateral shares pledged in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of such loan agreement and any related pledge and security agreements, or

(j) transfers or sales to the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

For purposes of this agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin and “change of control” shall mean the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than the Company

A-3

or JAB Holdings B.V. or any of its controlled affiliates, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Company, occurring after the consummation of the Public Offering, that has been approved by the board of directors of the Company. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

If the Underwriter waives or terminates any of the restrictions contained in this agreement (or any such other related agreements) with respect to the securities of the Selling Stockholder (a “Lock-Up Release” and such stockholder, the “Triggering Release Party”), the restrictions contained in this agreement (or any such other related agreements) shall be automatically and concurrently waived or terminated, as applicable, to the same extent and on the same terms with respect to the same pro rata percentage of securities of the undersigned (other than the Triggering Release Party) as the percentage of Common Stock (or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) being released in the Lock-Up Release represents with respect to the securities held by the applicable Triggering Release Party; provided that the provisions of this sentence will not apply if (i)(a) the release, waiver or termination is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration that was not otherwise permitted under the terms of agreement (or any such other related agreements) and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this agreement (or any such other related agreements) to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of such transfer; (ii) the Lock-Up Release is granted in connection with a sale of Common Stock (or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether or not such registration statement is wholly or partially a secondary offering of the Company’s Common Stock or (or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) (other than with respect to the Public Offering); provided that the undersigned is offered the opportunity to participate in such sale and the undersigned is released from its lock-up restrictions set forth herein to the extent of the undersigned’s participation in such underwritten public offering; or (iii) the Lock-Up Release is granted to one or more individual parties in an aggregate amount for all such Lock-Up Releases less than or equal to one percent (1%) of the Company’s total outstanding Common Stock (determined as of immediately following the closing of the Public Offering and assuming conversion, exercise and exchange of all securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock). In the event that, as a result of this paragraph, any Common Stock (or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) are released from the restrictions imposed by this agreement, the Underwriter shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company within two business days of the effective date of such release, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not give rise to any claim or liability against the Underwriter.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriter has not made any recommendation or provided any investment advice to the undersigned nor has the Underwriter solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to this agreement or the subject matter hereof, and the undersigned has consulted its own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors with respect to this agreement and the subject matter hereof to the extent the undersigned has deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that,

although the Underwriter may be required or choose to provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures to the undersigned in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter is not making a recommendation to the undersigned to participate in the transaction contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, enter into this agreement or the Underwriting Agreement, or sell any Shares at the price determined in the Underwriting Agreement, and nothing set forth in such disclosures is intended to suggest that the Underwriter is making such a recommendation.

The undersigned understands that, if (i) the Underwriter, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, informs the other in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering; (ii) the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective by May 31, 2025; or (iii) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Stock to be sold thereunder; then this agreement shall automatically terminate and the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this agreement.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriter are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This agreement may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter.

This agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Very truly yours,
