WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the

Affiliates; and 
 WHEREAS, Optionee is an employee, consultant or non-employee manager of the

granting him an option to purchase Units in the Company pursuant to the Plan and upon the terms set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company and Optionee hereby agree as follows: 

1. Certain Definitions. Terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to such
terms in the Plan. 
 2. The Plan and Summary of Unit Option Grant. The terms and provisions of the Plan and the attached

 4. Vesting of Right to
Exercise Option. This Option may be exercised only to the extent it is vested on the vesting dates in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Summary of Unit Option Grant. The vested portion of this Option indicated in such
Vesting Schedule shall be exercisable, as to all or part of the Option Units subject to such vested portion, at any time or times after the respective vesting date and until the expiration or termination of the Option. The vesting of this
Option shall be accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The unvested portion of this Option, as determined in accordance with the Vesting Schedule and other applicable provisions of the Plan shall terminate and be forfeited immediately
on the date of Optionee’s termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate. 

 5. Restrictions on Exercise. The right to exercise the Option shall be subject to the
following restrictions: 
 (a) Vesting. Optionee shall have no right to exercise this Option to purchase any Option Units for
which Optionee’s rights have not yet vested in accordance with Section 4. 
 (b) No Fractional Option Units. The
Option may be exercised only with respect to full Option Units. 
 (c) Compliance with Law. The Option may not be exercised in
whole or in part, and no Option Units shall be issued nor certificates representing such Option Units delivered pursuant to any exercise of the Option, if any requisite approval or consent of any governmental authority of any kind having
jurisdiction over the exercise of options or the issuance and sale of Option Units shall not have been obtained or if such exercise or issuance would violate any applicable law. 

(d) Exercise by Optionee. The Option shall be exercisable only by Optionee, any representative of Optionee, and by any transferee
who has received such Option in accordance with the Plan. 
 6. Term. 

(a) Term of Option. This Option may not be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the Grant Date. If the expiration date
of this Option or any termination date provided for in this Agreement shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the executive offices of the Company are not open for business, then such expiration or termination date shall be deemed to be
the last normal business day of the Company at its executive offices preceding such Saturday, Sunday or day on which such offices are closed. 

(b) Early Termination. Except as provided below, this Option may not be exercised unless Optionee shall have been in the
continuous employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate from the Grant Date to the date of exercise of the Option. This Option may be exercised after the date of Optionee’s termination of employment or service with the Company and its
Affiliates only in accordance with Section 8(b) of the Plan. 
 7. Exercise of Option. 

(a) Subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Option shall be exercisable by written notice timely given to the
Company by Optionee, which notice (i) shall state the number of Option Units that Optionee then desires to purchase, and (ii) shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price for each of such Option Units, which such payment
shall be made in cash or certified check. 
 (b) The Company shall be entitled to require Optionee to deliver to the Company such
documents as the Company in its discretion shall deem necessary to confirm that (i) such exercise and the Company’s issuance and sale of such Option Units are in compliance with the requirements of any applicable laws (including, but not
limited to, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (“State 

 
Law”)), and (ii) Optionee shall be bound by and comply with all of the terms and provisions of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement dated
as of August 31, 2016 (as may be thereafter amended or supplemented, the “Limited Liability Company Agreement”). 

(c) Upon exercise of an Option, Optionee will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any federal, state and local taxes required
to be withheld in connection with such exercise, and no certificate representing Units shall be delivered to Optionee until such tax is paid by Optionee. Optionee and his or her spouse, if any, also will be required to execute the Limited Liability
Company Agreement and such other documents as may be required by the Committee. 
 8. Recapitalization or Reorganization. The
existence of this Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or
consolidation of, or share exchange involving, the Company, any issuance of additional Company securities with priority over the Units or otherwise affecting the Units or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company’s Units
or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding. 

9. Restriction on Transfer of Option. The Option may not be sold, assigned, hypothecated or transferred, except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of the Option in violation of this provision or the other provisions of the Plan shall be void and of no effect whatsoever. 

10. Certain Rights Incident to Divorce. If an interest in the Option is required by law to be transferred to a spouse of Optionee
pursuant to an order of a court in a divorce proceeding (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9 hereof), Optionee shall nevertheless retain all rights with respect to the exercise of the Option and any interest of such spouse shall be
subject to such rights of Optionee. In addition, if it is determined that Optionee will be required to pay any taxes attributable to the interest of the spouse in the Option, any tax liability of Optionee which is attributable to such spouse’s
interest shall be taken into account, and shall reduce such spouse’s interest in this Option. 
 11. Rights as a Member.
Optionee shall have no rights as a member of the Company with respect to any Option Units covered by the Option until the exercise of the Option. 

12. Additional Documents. The Company and Optionee will, upon request of the other party, promptly execute and deliver all
additional documents, and take all such further action, reasonably deemed by such party to be necessary, appropriate or desirable to complete and evidence the sale, assignment and transfer of the Option Units pursuant to this Agreement, including
without limitation and if required by the Board, a counterpart signature page to the Limited Liability Company Agreement. 

 13. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Optionee. 

(a) Optionee acknowledges that neither the Option nor the Option Units covered thereby have been registered under the Securities Act or
State Law on the grounds that the issuance of the Option is, and the sale of any Option Units pursuant to the exercise of the Option will be, exempt from registration under one or more provisions of each of such acts. Optionee further understands
that in determining the availability and applicability of such exemptions and in executing and delivering this Agreement and issuing and delivering any Option Units upon exercise of the Option, the Company has relied and will rely upon the
representations, warranties and covenants made by Optionee herein and in any other documents which he may hereafter deliver to the Company. Accordingly, Optionee represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with the Company as follows: 

(i) Optionee is acquiring and will hold the Option, and will acquire and hold all securities which he acquires upon
exercise of the Option, for his own account for investment and not with a view to or in connection with any sale or distribution of all or any part thereof; and 

(ii) Optionee will hold all securities acquired by him upon exercise of the Option, as well as any and all other
securities issued in respect thereof, subject to all applicable provisions of the Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Securities Act and State Law, and will not at any time make any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition or encumbrance of
any of such securities in violation of the Limited Liability Company Agreement or in the absence of an effective registration statement for such securities under the Securities Act and State Law or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements therefrom. 
 (b) Optionee agrees (i) that the certificates representing the Option Units or other securities
purchased under this Option may bear such legend or legends as the Company deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) that the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the Option Units or other
securities purchased under this Option on the transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, (iii) that the Company
may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Option Units or other securities purchased under this Option, (iv) that the Option Units or other securities acquired upon exercise of this
Option shall be subject, in all respects, to the Limited Liability Company Agreement and (v) Optionee shall become party to the Limited Liability Company Agreement prior to issuance of any certificate representing the Option Units. 

(c) Optionee acknowledges that the value of the Option over its life will be speculative and uncertain, that there is no market for the
Option or the Option Units or other securities that may be acquired upon exercise of the Option and it is unlikely that any market will develop, and consequently, Optionee may ultimately realize no value from the Option. 

14. Optionee’s Employment or Service. Nothing contained in the Plan or in this Agreement shall confer upon Optionee any right
with respect to the continuation of his 

 
employment by or service with the Company or an Affiliate, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate, (subject to the terms of any separate agreement to the contrary)
at any time to terminate such employment or service or to increase or decrease the compensation of Optionee from the rate in existence at the date of this Agreement. 

15. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given on
the earlier of the date of receipt by the party to whom the notice is given or five days after being mailed by certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the appropriate party (a) if to the Company, at 250 West
Main Street, Suite 210, Lexington, Kentucky 40507 and (b) if to Optionee, to Optionee’s address as shown in the employment records of the Company, or in each case at such other address as such party shall have theretofore designated by
written notice given to the other party. 
 16. Entirety and Modification. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between such parties relating to such subject matter. No modification, alteration, amendment or supplement to this
Agreement shall be valid or effective unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced. 

17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, this Agreement shall be considered divisible,
and such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent it is unenforceable, and in all other respects this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if any such provision may be made enforceable by limitation
thereof, then such provision shall be deemed to be so limited and shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 

18. Gender. Words used in this Agreement that refer to Optionee and denote the male gender shall also be deemed to include the
female gender or the neuter gender when appropriate. 
 19. Headings. The headings of the various sections and subsections of
this Agreement have been inserted for convenient reference only and shall not be construed to enlarge, diminish or otherwise change the express provisions hereof. 

20. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
(REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE DELAWARE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW). 

21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall
constitute one and the same agreement.Exhibit 10.1
