Addendum A— Todd Herndon

Equity Target

Investment; Long-Term Incentive Program:	Investment: It is expected that Executive will, subject to satisfaction of applicable securities laws requirements, invest a minimum of $1.0 million into the common stock of Renaissance Parent Corp. (“Holdings”) no later than two months following Executive’s Start Date. Such investment will be at the appraised value of the common stock of Holdings as of the date of Executive’s investment, which may be higher or lower than the appraised value of the common stock of Holdings as of Executive’s Start Date.
	Long-Term Incentive Program: A long term incentive plan (“LTI Platt”) has been established to give members of management at Gardner Denver, Inc. (“GDI”) the opportunity to share in the value appreciation of GDI. Through the grant of options in Holdings with a strike price at then-current fair market value of Holdings’ shares, the intended goal of this LTI Plan is to provide the Executive with the opportunity (although not the guarantee) to earn pre-tax proceeds (net of the strike price) in respect of such value appreciation of up to and potentially more than USD $8.0 million.1
	The LTI Plan grants to Executive are in the form of options to purchase shares of Holdings stock, 50% of which are subject to time vesting and 50% are subject to performance vesting. The time vesting options vest as to one-third (rounded to the nearest whole share) each year on the last day of each of Holdings’ fiscal years from 2016 through 2018. The performance vesting options vest as to one-third (rounded to the nearest whole share) per year as of the last day of each of Holdings’ fiscal years from 2016 through 2018 provided that GDI achieves annual EBITDA targets.
	Any options and Holdings stock Executive acquires are subject to the LTI Plan terns and other terms contained in management equity agreements with Holdings and the Investors. These terms include, generally, transfer restrictions, company call rights, tagalong and dragalong rights, and restrictive covenants (including covenants not to disclose confidential information at any time, and while employed and for certain post-employment periods, not to solicit employees or customers and not to compete with the business of GDI).

¹ Assuming a certain exit value is achieved in 2018. Details of a corresponding financial forecast and exit multiple assumption will be presented separately. Actual value appreciation could be lesser or greater than amount stated above, depending upon performance of GDI and market factors. GDI makes no representations as to financial performance
