unexercisable portion of Option that has not previously expired pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately become fully exercisable. To the extent any portion of this Option becoming exercisable would have the effect of causing any such threshold
annual internal rate of return to not be attained, as much as possible of the applicable percentage of this Option shall instead become exercisable that would permit such threshold to be attained.

(a) The exercisable
portion of the Option shall expire on the earlier of (i) the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the Termination Date if the

provided that, in the case where the Optionee resigns for Good Reason or the employment of the Optionee is terminated by the Company without Cause or due to death or Disability prior to an Initial Public Offering or an Approved Sale,
the unexercisable portion of the Option scheduled to become exercisable based on the Companys EBITDA performance for the Fiscal Year in which the Termination Date occurs shall not terminate until the thirtieth (30th) calendar day
following the date on which the Optionee received notice of the EBITDA performance for such Fiscal Year, and a pro rata portion (equal to the ratio that the number of calendar days that have elapsed in such Fiscal Year prior to the Termination Date
bears to 365) of the applicable portion of the Option so scheduled to become exercisable shall become exercisable as if the Optionees employment had not been terminated (subject to and based on meeting applicable EBITDA performance levels),
and (ii) an Approved Sale (except as set forth in Section 3(b)(ii)).

Optionee may transfer the Option to (a) his or her spouse, child, estate, personal representative, heir or successor, (b) a trust for the benefit of the Optionee or his or her spouse, child or heir, or (c) a partnership or limited
liability company the partners or members of which consist solely of the Optionee and/or his or her spouse, child, heir, and/or successor (each, a Permitted Transferee) and the Option is exercisable, during the Optionees lifetime,
only by him or her or a Permitted Transferee, or, in the event of the Optionees death or Disability, his or her executor, guardian or legal representative; provided, however, that no transfer shall be permitted if such transfer
is made in connection with an Internal Revenue Service listed transaction. More particularly (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), the Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as aforesaid), pledged or
hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions
hereof, and the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the Option that would otherwise effect a change in the ownership of the Option, shall terminate the Option; provided, however, that, in the case of the involuntary levy of
any attachment or similar involuntary process upon the Option, the Optionee shall have thirty (30) calendar days after notice thereof to cure such levy or process before the Option terminates. This Agreement shall be binding on and enforceable
against any person who is a Permitted Transferee of the Option.

6. Adjustments; Effect of Approved Sale.

(a) If the shares of Series A Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as the result of any one or more
reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, stock distributions or similar events, an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject to the Option, and in the Exercise Price
for each share subject to the Option. No fractional interests shall be issued on account of any such adjustment unless the Committee specifically determines to the contrary, and the Committee may provide for such customary cash-in-lieu of fractional
interests provisions as it deems appropriate.

(b) In the event of an Approved Sale, the exercisable but unexercised portion of the Option
will be subject to one of the following, as applicable: (i) in the event of an Approved Sale in which the holders of shares of Series A Stock are receiving predominantly cash proceeds, if the definitive agreement governing such Approved Sale so
provides, effective as of the consummation of such Approved Sale, the exercisable but unexercised portion of the Option shall be automatically cancelled and the Optionee shall be entitled to receive in cash the per share consideration payable to
such holders in such Approved Sale less the Exercise Price attributable to such unexercised portion of the Option and any applicable tax withholding obligations; (ii) in the event of an Approved Sale structured as a stock-for-stock merger,
exchange or similar transaction, if the definitive agreement governing such Approved Sale so provides, effective as of the consummation of such Approved Sale, the exercisable but unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically be converted
into an option to purchase the type of securities into which the shares of Series A Stock are being converted in such Approved Sale, with appropriate



5



---

adjustments to the per share Exercise Price and number of shares covered thereby based on the exchange ratio in such transaction as determined by the
Committee in its discretion (subject to customary provisions for cash-in-lieu of fractional shares as and if determined appropriate by the Committee); or (iii) if neither clause (i) nor clause (ii) of this Section 6(b) is
applicable, the exercisable but unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically terminate as of the consummation of such Approved Sale provided that the Company has given written notice to the Optionee at least fifteen (15) calendar days
prior to the consummation of such Approved Sale and afforded the Optionee the opportunity to exercise such exercisable but unexercised portion (conditioned on the actual consummation of such Approved Sale) through the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the scheduled date of such consummation (with the Optionee having the right to then exercise such portion as would otherwise become exercisable as of such consummation pursuant to the terms of Section 3(b)). Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of an Approved Sale, the unexercisable portion of the Option shall automatically terminate upon the consummation of such Approved Sale.

7. Exercise of the Option. Prior to the expiration or termination thereof, the Optionee may exercise the exercisable portion of the Option from
time to time in whole or in part. Upon electing to exercise the Option, the Optionee shall deliver to the Secretary of the Company a written and signed notice of such election setting forth the number of Option Shares the Optionee has elected to
purchase and shall at the time of delivery of such notice tender cash or a cashiers or certified bank check to the order of the Company for the full Exercise Price of such Option Shares and any amount required pursuant to Section 17
hereof; provided that the Optionee may satisfy any amount required pursuant to Section 17 hereof by having the Company withhold an equivalent amount of exercisable Option Shares upon exercise. The Committee may, in its discretion,
permit payment of the Exercise Price in such other form or in such other manner as may be permissible under the Plan and under any applicable law.

8. Restrictions on Transfers of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. Subject to Section 9 hereof, prior to the earlier of (A) one hundred eighty (180) days following an Initial Public Offering or (B) an Approved Sale,
the Option Shares shall not be transferable or transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) except that the Optionee may transfer the Option Shares (i) to a Permitted Transferee, as
defined in Section 5, or (ii) as provided for in Sections 4 and 5 of the Certificate of Incorporation. This Agreement shall be binding on and enforceable against any person who is a Permitted Transferee of the Option Shares except a person
who acquires the Option Shares pursuant to Section 4 or 5 of the Certificate of Incorporation or as part of the Initial Public Offering. The stock certificates issued to evidence Option Shares upon exercise of the Option hereunder shall bear a
legend referring to this Agreement and the restrictions contained herein.

9. Repurchase of Option Shares.

(a) In the event that Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason prior to an Initial Public Offering or Approved Sale, the Company,
during the sixty (60) calendar days following the Termination Date (the Repurchase Period), shall, subject to Section 9(d), have the right to purchase all or any portion of the Option Shares (the Repurchase Right).
The purchase price for each Option Share purchased under this Section 9(a) shall equal Fair Market Value; provided, however, that (i) if Optionee resigns



6



---

without Good Reason prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date or is terminated for Cause prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date the
purchase price for each Option Share shall equal Cost and (ii) if Optionee resigns without Good Reason after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date or is terminated for Cause at any
time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the purchase price shall equal the lower of Fair Market Value or Cost. If the Company elects to purchase some or all of the Option Shares, it shall notify Optionee, and any Permitted Transferee
thereof that then holds Option Shares, at or before the end of the Repurchase Period of such election and the purchase price shall for the Option Shares to be purchased shall be paid in cash to the Optionee, and/or his or her Permitted Transferee or
Permitted Transferees, as the case may be, at a time set by the Company within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the Repurchase Period, provided that Optionee, and any Permitted Transferee thereof that then holds Option Shares, has
presented to the Company a stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Option Shares to be purchased (or an affidavit of loss with respect thereto) duly endorsed for transfer. If Optionee fails to deliver such stock certificate or certificates
(or an affidavit of loss with respect thereto) duly endorsed for transfer, the Option Shares represented thereby shall be deemed to have been purchased upon (i) the payment by the Company of the purchase price for the purchased Option Shares to
Optionee or his or her Permitted Transferee or Permitted Transferees or (ii) notice to Optionee or such Permitted Transferee or Permitted Transferees that the Company is holding the purchase price for the purchased Option Shares for the account
of Optionee, and/or his Permitted Transferee or Permitted Transferees, as the case may be, and upon such payment or notice, Optionee, and/or his or her Permitted Transferee or Permitted Transferees, as the case may be, will have no further rights in
or to such Option Shares. The Company may assign its rights under this Section 9(a) to ATDH or an affiliate of the Company. If Option Shares have been transferred by Optionee to a Permitted Transferee, any Option Shares purchased under this
Section 9(a) shall be purchased from Optionee and any such Permitted Transferee on a pro rata basis. If, after Optionees termination, the Option Shares are not purchased pursuant to this Section 9(a), the restrictions on transfer
thereof contained in this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(b) The Fair Market Value of Option Shares to
be purchased hereunder by the Company, ATDH or an affiliate of the Company, as the case may be, shall be determined in good faith by the Companys Board of Directors as of the Termination Date, unless and to the extent Section 9(d)
applies, in which case the determination will be as of the date of exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Fair Market Value shall be based on an assumed sale of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company (without reduction for minority
interest, lack of voting rights or lack of liquidity of the Option Shares) and derived from reasonable and customary valuation methodology. If such determination of the Fair Market Value is challenged by the Optionee, a mutually acceptable
investment banker or appraiser shall establish the Fair Market Value as of the date of valuation referenced by the Board of Directors. The investment bankers or appraisers determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and
the Optionee. Upon request by the Optionee, the Company shall make available to the Optionee a description of the methodology employed by the investment banker or appraiser in making the determination of Fair Market Value, which description shall
include, to the extent relevant, a listing of companies used in comparing market and transaction valuations, the range of multiples applied, and the terminal valuation, discount factor and multiples used in any discounted cash flow analysis. The
Company shall bear all costs incurred in connection with the services of such investment banker or appraiser



7



---

unless (i) the Fair Market Value established by such investment banker or appraiser is less than or equal to 120% but more than 110% of the
determination challenged by the Optionee, in which case the Optionee shall promptly pay or reimburse the Company fifty percent (50%) for such costs, or (ii) the Fair Market Value established by such investment banker or appraiser is equal
to or less than 110% of the determination challenged by the Optionee, in which case the Optionee shall promptly pay or reimburse the Company for one hundred percent (100%) of such costs. If the Optionee and the Company cannot agree upon an
investment banker or appraiser, they shall each choose an investment banker or appraiser and the two shall choose a third investment banker or appraiser who shall establish the Fair Market Value.

(c) The Optionee shall not be considered to have ceased to be employed by the Company for purposes of this Agreement if the Optionee continues to be
employed by the Company or an affiliate thereof.

(d) In the event that (i) on the Termination Date, Optionee owns Option Shares that
have not been owned by the Optionee for a period of at least six (6) months, and/or (ii) following the Termination Date, the Optionee exercises any then outstanding vested Option pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to all such Option
Shares, the Repurchase Period will not commence on the Termination Date but rather will commence on the first date on which all such Option Shares have been owned by Optionee for six (6) months and a day.

10. Lock-Up Arrangements. If requested in writing by the underwriters for an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, each
Optionee who is a party to this Agreement shall agree not to sell or transfer any Option Shares (other than Option Shares being registered in such offering) without the consent of such underwriters for a period of at least (a) one hundred
eighty (180) calendar days following the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering, and (b) ninety (90) calendar days following the effective date of the registration statement relating to
any other underwritten public offering.

11. Compliance with Legal Requirements.

(a) No Option Shares shall be issued or transferred pursuant to this Agreement unless and until all legal requirements applicable to such issuance or
transfer have, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, been satisfied. Such requirements may include, but are not limited to, registering or qualifying such Option Shares under any state or federal law, satisfying any applicable law relating to
the transfer of unregistered securities or demonstrating the availability of an exemption from applicable laws, placing a legend on the Option Shares to the effect that they were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), and may not be transferred other than in reliance upon Rule 144 or Rule 701 promulgated under the Act, if available, or upon another exemption from the Act, or obtaining the consent
or approval of any governmental regulatory body.

(b) The Optionee understands that the Company intends for the offering and sale of Option
Shares to be effected in reliance upon Rule 701 or another available exemption from registration under the Act, and that the Company is under no obligation to register for resale the Option Shares issued upon exercise of the Option. In
connection with



8

satisfactory to counsel to the Company with respect to such matters as the Company reasonably may deem desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

Incorporation.

such person upon a valid exercise of an Option or any part thereof.

14. Plan Controls. The Option hereby granted is subject to, and
the Company and the Optionee agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof; provided that, no such amendment shall be effective as to
the Option without the Optionees consent insofar as it adversely affects the Optionees material rights under this Agreement, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld by the Optionee; and provided further that,
the Participant Committee shall not have the authority to approve any amendment to this Agreement or waive any provision hereof without the Optionees consent.

15. Not an Employment Contract. Nothing in the Plan, this Agreement or any other instrument executed pursuant hereto or thereto shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company
or any Subsidiary or shall affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Optionee with or without Cause.

16. Governing Law. All terms of and rights under this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

17. Taxes. The Committee may, in its discretion, make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the
withholding of all federal, state, local and other taxes required to be withheld with respect to the issuance or exercise of the Option including, but not limited to, deducting the amount of any such withholding taxes from any other amount then or
thereafter payable to the Optionee, requiring the Optionee to pay to the Company the amount required to be withheld or to execute such documents as the Committee deems necessary or desirable to enable it to satisfy the Companys withholding
obligations, or by any other means provided in the Plan.

18. No Further Payments. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, agreement or arrangement with the Company or any of its affiliates to the contrary, to the extent any payment or benefit (including non-cash benefits) provided under this Agreement (including
without limitation Section 3(b)(i) or 3(b)(ii)) or any other plan, agreement or arrangement with the Company or any of its affiliates, either alone or together with such other payments and benefits (including non-cash benefits) which Executive
receives or is entitled to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, would result in the Executive being subject to the excise tax imposed by

nor any of its affiliates shall be obligated to pay any amount to Executive (or to any other party on behalf of Executive) as a result of, or in respect of, such excise tax.

Consolidated Net Income (loss) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as it would appear on a statement of income (loss) of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, consistently applied, which shall (i) exclude or be otherwise adjusted
for acquisitions and additional equity contributions to the extent such acquisitions and/or equity contributions are determined by the Board of Directors in good faith to materially affect target EBITDA for any particular Fiscal Year,
(ii) reflect a reduction for all management and employee bonuses payable with respect to the Fiscal Year and (iii) be adjusted for any material Board of Directors approved amendment to the capital expenditure plan; plus (minus), to the
extent such amounts are otherwise taken into account in determining EBITDA (prior to adjustment), the following:



| | 1. | Any provision (benefit) for taxes (including franchise taxes) deducted (added) in calculating such consolidated net income (loss); plus

binding.
