Off-Limits Third Parties that is (x) a law firm, (y) an investment bank, or (z) any other Off-Limits Third Party that has a
pre-existing business relationship with a subsequent employer to the extent that (A) those services are available to persons other than the Company, (B) your utilization of those services does not
prevent, diminish, or otherwise interfere with the Company’s utilization of those services, and (C) in utilizing those services, you do not violate any of your other commitments and obligations to the Company.

 You further acknowledge and agree that the identities and contact information of Clients, Off-Limits Employees,
or Off-Limits Third Parties, (including, for the sake of clarity, prospective clients, or prospective investors) that are not otherwise publicly available in their capacities as such shall constitute
Confidential Information and that the sale or unauthorized use or disclosure of this or any other Confidential Information would constitute a breach of your non-disclosure obligations. 

 

	5.	 Cooperation. You agree to cooperate and use good-faith efforts to make yourself reasonably available to
the Company (and its representatives and advisors) in any pending or future governmental or regulatory investigation, inquiry, or request for information, or civil, criminal, or administrative proceeding or arbitration, in each case involving the

respective past and present officers, owners, directors, partners, members, shareholders, employees, business partners, agents, portfolio companies predecessors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Company Parties”), from
any and all claims, causes of action, and liabilities of any nature, including, but not limited to, those claims concerning or arising, directly or indirectly, from your service with the Company or the termination thereof, including, but not limited
to, all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, sums of money, attorneys’ fees, costs, accounts, covenants, controversies, agreements, promises, damages, claims, grievances,

sign this Agreement. 

 Without limiting the generality of the above, you specifically release and discharge
the Company Parties from any and all Claims arising, directly or indirectly, from your affiliation with the Company and its affiliates or any other Company Party or the termination thereof, arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act

regulation, decision, or order. 
 The release contained in this Paragraph 7 covers all Claims that have accrued as of the time you execute
this Agreement, including both those that you know about and those that you may not know about, and you intend that the release contained herein shall constitute a general release of any and all claims that you may have against the Company Parties
to the fullest extent permissible by law, including any rights to participate in, or collect damages in connection with, a collective action brought in respect of any such released claims. The provision of any benefits to you in this Agreement does
not signify any admission of wrongdoing or liability by the Company Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be a waiver of (i) your rights with respect to payment of amounts under this Agreement (or to bring any
claim against the Company alleging a breach of this Agreement and/or seeking damages arising from such alleged breach) or (ii) any Claims that cannot be waived by law, including without limitation the right to bring an administrative charge

relating to your employment and its termination under the ADEA, a United States federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans. 

  
 7 

 In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the above release of
claims does not release or affect (i) your right to receive payment of accrued but unpaid base salary through the Separation Date (ii) your rights under the Company’s group health and/or welfare plans, (iii) your vested rights
under the Company’s 401(k) plan, and (iv) your rights to indemnification under the Company’s by-laws and/or other corporate agreements and/or under any D&O and/or other insurance policies or
Company practices applicable to you or company executives and/or employees. For the avoidance of doubt, the conclusion of your employment with the Company shall not diminish your rights under the foregoing indemnification arrangements, which shall
remain in effect in accordance with their terms. 
  

	8.	 Release Effectiveness. Your release and waiver of Claims hereunder (and the related representations,
acknowledgements, and covenants as set forth herein) (the “Release”) shall be effective after the applicable Revocation Period (as defined below) expires without you having revoked such Release (the date of such effectiveness, the
“Release Effective Date”). 

  

	9.	 No Legal Actions. Each party hereto represents that he or it has not filed or caused to be filed any
lawsuit, complaint, or charge against the other in any court, any municipal, state, or federal agency, or any other tribunal. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party hereto agrees that he or it will not sue or file a complaint in any
court, or file or pursue a demand for arbitration, pursuing any Claim released under this Agreement, or assist or otherwise participate in any such proceeding; provided that nothing herein precludes either party from providing truthful
information to a governmental or regulatory body. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party agrees to waive his or its right, to the extent that any right exists, to recover monetary damages in connection with any charge, complaint, or lawsuit filed
by such party or by anyone else on his or its behalf (whether involving a governmental authority or not); provided that neither party is agreeing to waive, and this Agreement shall not be read as requiring either party to waive, any right to
receive an award for information provided to any governmental authority. Each party hereto represents and warrants further that he or it has not assigned or conveyed to any other person or entity any rights vis-à-vis the other party, including any of the Claims released in this Agreement. Each party further expressly waives any claim to any monetary or other damages or any other form of recovery in
connection with any proceeding made by him or it in violation of this Agreement with respect to Claims released under this Agreement.

in-kind benefit that is subject to Section 409A (and not exempt pursuant to the prior sentence or otherwise), the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the provision of in-kind benefits or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, and in no event
shall any such expenses subject to Section 409A be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Employee incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any
in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The Company and its affiliates shall be liable for any penalties that may be imposed on you under Section 409A or any damages for
failing to comply with Section 409A. 
 You hereby agree that the amounts and benefits set forth in this Paragraph 3 (collectively,
the “Severance Benefits”) constitute any and all amounts due or potentially due from the Company or any Associated Company in connection with your employment or its termination, and all amounts are subject to all required tax

Company or Prudential to be required, the Company or Prudential (as applicable) shall provide you with reasonable advance notice of any such disclosure (to the greatest extent possible), and provide you with an opportunity to review such proposed
disclosure, and provide comments (which comments shall be incorporated into such disclosure unless the Company or Prudential reasonably and in good faith 

  
 4 

 
determines that the inclusion of such comments would result in such disclosure being legally deficient, materially misleading or not being consistent with the terms of this Agreement).

(d) if, on behalf of a subsequent employer, (i) you participate in ordinary-course reporting, such as an investor presentation on an investment, to any group of investors that includes a Client or (ii) you engage with Clients who were
pre-existing clients of your employer prior to your commencing employment, other than for the purpose of interfering with the Company’s business relationship with any such Client; or
