In all cases, an event or condition shall not constitute “Good Reason” unless (x) within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the event or condition Participant believes constitutes Good Reason Participant provides the Company with a written notice (a “Good Reason Notice”) that specifically explains the basis for Participant’s belief that facts constituting Good Reason exist, (y) in the case of any of the above events which is capable of being cured within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of the Good Reason Notice, the Company fails to cure (or cause to be cured) the applicable event or condition within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of the Good Reason Notice, and (z) Participant actually terminates his or her Employment within sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of the Good Reason Notice.

3. Cessation of Employment.

Except as set forth in Section 3(b) or Section 3(c), any unvested portion of the Award shall be automatically forfeited upon the termination of Participant’s Employment for any reason other than for Cause.

4. Delivery of Class A Units or Cash. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following the vesting of any portion of the Award (but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the date on which the relevant portion of the Award vests), effect delivery of the Class A Units subject to such vested portion of the Award to Participant; provided, that if Participant becomes vested in any portion of the Award as a result of Participant’s termination of Employment without Cause or resignation for Good Reason in accordance with Section 3(c), then in lieu of delivery of the Class A Units subject to such portion of the Award, the Company may pay to Participant an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the Class A Units underlying such portion on the date Participant’s Employment terminates.

5. Representations, Warranties, Covenants, and Acknowledgments of Participant. Participant hereby represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Investment. Participant is acquiring the Award for Participant’s own account, and not for the account of any other Person. Participant is acquiring the Award for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities.

(b) Relation to the Company. Participant is presently an Employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries.

(c) Access to Information. Participant has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial conditions, and results of operations of the Company and its Affiliates.

(d) Registration. Participant understands that the neither the Award nor the Class A Units underlying the Award have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable securities law, and that, subject to the further restrictions in the LLC Agreement, neither the Award nor the underlying Class A Units can be transferred by Participant unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Company has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the Award or the Class A Units under the Securities Act or any applicable securities law. The Company has made no representations, warranties, or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Securities Act or any applicable securities law, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, will be available. If an exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it will not be available until at least one year from issuance of the Award and then not unless (a) a public trading market then exists in Class A Units (or a successor security thereto); (b) adequate information as to the Company’s financial and other affairs and operations is then available to the public; and (c) all other terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.

(e) Public Trading. None of the Company’s equity securities are presently publicly-traded, and the Company has made no representations, covenants or agreements as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.

The Company has made no warranties or representations to Participant with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Award Agreement, and Participant is in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences.

(g) One-Time Award. The Award represents a one-time, discretionary award and shall not in any way be considered as part of Participant’s employment compensation, wages, entitlements, or any other similar compensation or benefits plan or scheme. Eligibility for awards under the Plan are determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion and eligibility for, or receipt of, an award in a certain fiscal year does not imply or guarantee entitlement to an award in any future fiscal years.

6. Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Award Agreement, the Plan and the LLC Agreement (including, without limitation, limitations on transfer), this Award Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

7. Taxes.

(a) Withholding. The Administrator will make such provision for the withholding of taxes as it deems necessary under applicable law; provided that Participant will make arrangements satisfactory to the Company (or an applicable Affiliate of the Company, if such Affiliate is involved in the administration of the Plan) for the payment and satisfaction of any income tax, social security tax, payroll tax, social taxes, applicable national or local taxes, or payment on account of other tax related to withholding obligations that arise by reason of granting, settling or vesting of RSUs or sale of Class A Units delivered in settlement of vested RSUs (whichever is applicable). If Participant does not make arrangements satisfactory to the Company (or an applicable Affiliate of the Company, if such Affiliate is involved in the administration of the Plan) for the payment and satisfaction of such taxes, the Administrator may, in its discretion, satisfy such taxes by withholding a number of Class A Units that would otherwise be issued under the Award that the Administrator determines has a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding obligations. Except to the extent the Administrator permits Participant to pay by other means, Participant shall remit cash in an amount sufficient to satisfy such taxes. The Company will not be required to issue or lift any restrictions on Class A Units delivered pursuant to Participant’s RSUs or to recognize any purported transfer of Class A Units until Participant’s obligations hereunder are satisfied.

(b) Section 409A.

(i) The Award is intended to be exempt from the rules of Section 409A and shall be construed accordingly. The Award may be modified at any time, in the

Administrator’s discretion, so as to increase the likelihood of compliance with the rules of Section 409A as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Each payment under this Award shall be treated as a “separate payment” under Section 409A.

(ii) All references in this Award Agreement to a termination of Employment or similar or correlative references shall be construed to require a “separation from service” (as defined in Treasury regulation 1.409A-1(h)) from the Company and from all other corporations and trades or businesses, if any, that would be treated as a single “service recipient” with the Company under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(3).

(iii) If Participant is deemed on the date of Participant’s termination of Employment to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then, with respect to any payment that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable, payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment will be made or provided the on the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” and (b) the date of Participant’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 8(b)(iii) will be paid on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period in a lump sum.

8. Data Privacy. The Company and Participant’s employer hereby notify Participant of the following in relation to Participant’s personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such data in relation to the Award and Participant’s participation in the Plan:

(a) the collection, processing and transfer of Participant’s personal data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Plan and Participant’s participation in the Plan, and Participant’s denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, Participant voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees (where required under applicable law) to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein.

The Data may be provided by Participant or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and Participant’s employer will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Processing of the Data will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in Participant’s country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed in a manner that minimizes the use of personal and identification data when

(c) The Company and Participant’s employer will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and/or Participant’s employer may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

Participant hereby authorizes (where required under applicable law) the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of equity interests on Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom Participant may elect to deposit any equity interest acquired pursuant to the Plan, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan, the LLC Agreement and this Award Agreement. Participant may, at any time, exercise Participant’s rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws (if any), which may include the right to (i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data, (iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data, and (iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data that is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting Participant’s local human resources manager.

10. Unit Certificate Restrictive Legends.

This Award Agreement, the Plan, and the LLC Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties, including, without limitation, any offer letter or other document or communication to the extent related to any long-term incentive awards of the Company or its Affiliates or the terms thereof. There are no agreements, understandings, specific restrictions, warranties, or representations relating to said subject matter between the parties other than those set forth herein or herein provided for.

This Award Agreement may be amended only in accordance with Section 10 of the Plan.

14. Waivers. The failure of a party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Award Agreement in any one or more instances shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the right to insist upon strict compliance with such provision in the future. In the event of any ambiguity in this Award Agreement or any matters as to which this Award Agreement is silent, the Plan will govern.

15. Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Award Agreement or any word, phrase, clause, sentence, or other portion thereof shall be deemed to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision or portion thereof shall be modified or deleted in such a manner so as to make this Award Agreement, as modified, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws.

16. Number; Titles. As used in this Award Agreement, the singular form shall include, if appropriate, the plural.
