RECITALS: 
 A. The Company
desires that Executive be employed by the Company to carry out the duties and responsibilities described below, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 

B. Executive desires to accept such employment on such terms and conditions. 

C. This Agreement shall govern the employment relationship between Executive and the Company from and after the Hire Date (as defined below),
and supersedes and negates all previous negotiations and agreements with respect to such relationship. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the above recitals incorporated herein and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive as its Chief Executive Officer, commencing on
February 1, 2010 (the “Hire Date”). Executive shall report directly to the Company’s Board of Directors or authorized committee thereof (the “Board”). Executive shall perform such officer level duties and
have such officer level authority and responsibility as is usual and customary for such position, plus any additional officer level duties as may reasonably be assigned from time to time by the Board, including but not limited to providing services
as an officer or director to one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates (and the compensation for such services shall be covered exclusively by Paragraphs 3 through 7 of this Agreement). Executive’s duties as Chief Executive
Officer shall include overall responsibility for the management and leadership of the Company and all of its departments and personnel, execution of the Company’s strategy and full profit and loss responsibility. Executive hereby accepts such
employment and agrees to devote Executive’s full business time, energy and best efforts to the performance of the Executive’s duties for the Company. Executive shall be subject to and comply with the Company’s policies, procedures and
approval practices, as generally in effect from time-to-time. 
 2. EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. The “Period of Employment” under
this Agreement shall be the period that Executive remains employed by the Company. Subject to the terms of Section 7 of this Agreement, Executive shall be employed on an at-will basis and Executive’s employment with the Company may be
terminated by Executive or the Company at any time, with or without cause, and with or without advance notice. 
 3. COMPENSATION. 

a. Base Salary. During the Period of Employment, the Company agrees to pay Executive a base salary of Two Hundred Seventy-Five
Thousand Dollars ($275,000.00) per annum, less standard deductions and authorized withholdings (the “Salary”). The Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. 

  
 1 

 b. Bonus. During the Period of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to
earn an annual performance-based bonus as follows: 
 (1) Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus based upon the achievement of
corporate and individual goals established by the Board during each fiscal year of Executive’s employment with the Company (“Annual Bonus”). Executive’s maximum Annual Bonus is Two Hundred Twelve Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($212,500). The Company and Executive agree that Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of the total bonus potential will be evaluated by criteria focused primarily on the Company’s cash management and liquidity needs, and agree that payout
of this sub-bonus will be evaluated every six months, with a potential semi-annual payout of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in July and January of each year for the preceding six months. The determination of whether the corporate and
individual goals have been achieved, and the amount of any Annual Bonus, in any given fiscal year shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. 

(2) To earn any Annual Bonus, Executive must be continuously and actively employed through the end of the applicable fiscal year and the date
that bonuses are normally paid to the Company’s executives; provided, however, if Executive is actively and continuously employed through the applicable fiscal year, but is terminated without Cause or terminates employment for Good Reason prior
to the date that bonuses are normally paid to the Company’s executives, Executive shall be deemed to have earned such Annual Bonus. Each Annual Bonus earned by Executive, if any, will be due and payable no later than 75 days following the end
of the applicable fiscal year. Any Annual Bonus paid to Executive shall be subject to applicable deductions and withholdings. 
 4. EQUITY
AWARD. 
 a. Subject to this Paragraph 4, the Company will grant to Executive an award of 1,056,164 Company Class M membership units
(the “Class M Unit Award”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Class M Membership Unit Agreement (“Class M Unit Agreement”) and the Company’s Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, as may
be amended from time to time (the “LLC Agreement”). A draft of the Class M Unit Agreement shall be provided to Executive no later than May 7, 2010. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to execute such Class M Unit
Agreement on or before May 21, 2010, subject to acceptance of the Class M Unit Award by Executive. The Class M Unit Award will allow Executive to participate in the appreciation of the value of the Company in excess of its most recent valuation
of $5,525,000, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Class M Unit Agreement. The Class M Unit Agreement (or an ancillary agreement provided by the Company to Executive) will include anti-dilution protection provisions to protect the
Class M Unit Award from dilution as a result of up to ten million dollars ($10,000,000) of capital raised as equity or convertible debt subsequent to the execution of this Agreement and prior to November 9, 2011 in connection with a
restructuring of, or to pay down senior debt in connection with a refinancing of, Malibu Boats, LLC’s current credit agreement 

  
 2 

 
(the “Antidilution Protection,” and such new capital raised the “Dilutive Issuance”). Such Antidilution Protection shall result in the Class M Unit Award
receiving the same economic participation as if the Dilutive Issuance had not occurred. As a condition to receiving the Class M Unit Award, you will be required to execute and return to the Company the Class M Unit Agreement and the LLC Agreement,
along with a Spousal Consent Form signed by your spouse, if applicable. The Class M Unit Award will be subject to the following vesting schedule subject to your active and continuous employment through each such date: 25% of the units underlying the
Class M Unit Award will vest on each of the first four (4) full year anniversaries of the Hire Date (provided that any additional Units awarded pursuant to the Antidilution Protection provided to Executive shall vest ratably with such
schedule); provided, however, that all units underlying the Class M Unit Award shall automatically become fully vested upon the closing of a Change in Control (as defined below). 

b. A “Change of Control” of the Company will be deemed to have occurred upon (i) the merger, consolidation or
reorganization of the Company with or into any other corporation or other business entity pursuant to which Black Canyon Capital LLC, Canyon Capital Advisors LLC and their affiliates (including funds managed by them) (each an “Exempted
Party”) do not own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding voting Units or voting equity interests of the Company or the surviving entity after such transaction, as the case may be; (ii) the acquisition of the Company
pursuant to a transaction or series of related transactions in which the Exempted Parties do not own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding voting equity interests of the Company after such transaction or series of related
transactions; (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than to one or more Exempted Parties; or (iv) a sale or substantially all of the equity interests of the Company, other than to one or more
Exempted Parties. 
 5. BENEFITS. 

a. Benefits. As a full-time employee of the Company, Executive will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans,
including health, dental and vision insurance plans, and such other benefits as are generally made available to executives of the Company and subject to the terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of such plans and benefits. 

b. Vacation. Executive will be entitled to accrue vacation time, in an amount and subject to the accrual limits, in accordance
with the Company’s policies and practices for senior executives of the Company. Executive shall schedule and take vacation at the mutual convenience of the Executive and the Company. 

c. Automobile. During the Period of Employment, the Company shall, at its option, either provide Executive with a monthly
automobile allowance or, at its cost, shall provide Executive a car that will be owned by the Company. Such allowance or car shall be of the same amount and or quality consistent with Company practices and made available to other executives or
managers of the Company. Insurance will be maintained and paid by the Company. Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for the cost of all maintenance and fuel costs associated with Executive’s use of the automobile. Executive may use such
automotive vehicle for business and personal purposes. 

  
 3 

 d. Boat. During the Period of Employment, the Company at its cost shall provide
Executive a boat of a quality consistent with the Company’s practices and made available to other executives of the Company (of a kind and cost to be approved by the Board) that will be owned by the Company. Insurance will be maintained and
paid by the Company. Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for the cost of all maintenance costs associated with Executive’s use of the boat. Executive will be responsible for all fuel costs associated with Executive’s use of the
boat. Executive may use such boat for business and personal purposes. 
 e. Business Expenses. The Company will reimburse
Executive for business expenses incurred in performing Executive’s duties and promoting the business of the Company following presentation of documentation evidencing such expenses and in accordance with the Company’s business expense
reimbursement policies.

7. TERMINATION. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive’s employment may be terminated as follows: 

a. Death. Upon the death of Executive, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate and the Company shall not be
obligated to make any further payments to Executive hereunder, except amounts due as Salary, any unpaid Annual Bonus earned pursuant to section 3(b) and accrued but unused vacation earned at the time of Executive’s termination of employment,

functions of his employment with the Company, even with reasonable accommodation that does not impose an undue hardship on the Company, for more than ninety (90) days in any rolling one-year period (“Disability”), unless a
longer period is required by applicable federal or state law, in which case that longer period would apply, the Board shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment, and the Company shall not be obligated to make any further payments
to Executive hereunder, except for the Accrued Obligations. Executive expressly agrees that the Company shall have the right to permanently replace Executive in the event he is terminated due to a Disability.

 4 

 
embezzlement by Executive against the Company or any of its parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities; (b) Executive’s conviction, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere, of a

 (2) In the
event that the Board terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, the Company shall not be obligated to make any further payments to Executive hereunder, except for the Accrued Obligations. 

d. Termination Without Cause. 

(1) By Executive. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Executive may voluntarily resign from his employment with the Company at
any time, and for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, after giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Company. In the event of a voluntary resignation, the Company may elect at its sole discretion to make the
resignation of employment effective at any time prior to the expiration of the 30-day notice period and, upon the effective date of such resignation, the Company shall not be obligated to make any further payments to Executive hereunder, except for
the Accrued Obligations. 
 (2) By Company. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Board (at its sole
discretion) shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment at any time, for any reason or no reason, immediately upon written notice to Executive. If the Board terminates Executive’s employment pursuant to this Paragraph 7(d)(2)
without Cause, the Company shall pay to Executive the Accrued Obligations. In addition, if the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, subject to Executive signing (and not revoking) a complete and general release of any and
all claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates in a form and substance satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”) 

  
 5 

 
within twenty-one (21) days (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law to obtain a complete and general release of claims) (the “Release Execution
Deadline”) after the Company provides the form of Release to you, upon a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, Executive shall continue to receive his Base Salary through the end of the applicable
Severance Period (as defined below) (the “Severance Payments”) in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies then in effect. Such Release shall be in substantially the same form as attached as Exhibit A hereto,
which shall be subject to necessary changes to comply with changes in applicable law to obtain a valid and complete general release of claims. Executive’s right to receive and retain any of the Severance Payments is contingent upon
Executive’s compliance with his continuing obligations to the Company under the terms of this Agreement and the Release. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “Severance Period” shall mean either (i) a period of six
(6) months following the effective date of the Release if Executive is terminated without Cause after the one year anniversary of the Hire Date and not subject to Section 7(d)(2)(ii)(A) below, or (ii) a period of twelve

the Hire Date. 
 e. Termination for Good Reason. Executive may terminate employment for Good Reason (as defined below)
and upon execution and delivery by Executive of the Release within the Release Execution Deadline, so long as Executive complies with Executive’s obligations under this Agreement and the Release, Executive will be entitled to receive Severance
Payments through the applicable Severance Period. For purposes of this Agreement, resigning with “Good Reason” means Executive’s resignation from employment after the occurrence of any of the following (without Executive’s
prior written consent): (i) a material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities, (ii) a material reduction in the aggregate compensation provided to Executive unless such reduction is concurrently made to all of
the Company’s senior management, or (iii) a material breach of any other material term of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such condition shall not constitute “Good Reason” unless Executive provides written notice to
the Company of the condition claimed to constitute Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such condition and, thereafter, the Board fails to cure such “Good Reason” within thirty (30) days following its
receipt of such written notice from Executive, and within ten (10) days thereafter, Executive terminates his employment for “Good Reason.” 

8. NONSOLICITATION/NONDISPARAGEMENT. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall not, for a
period of twelve (12) months, directly or indirectly: 
 a. solicit, induce or encourage any employee of the Company or any of its
affiliates or subsidiaries to terminate their employment with the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries; 

  
 6 

 b. make any defamatory public statement concerning the financial performance, products, services,
the Board or management personnel of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or Executive’s employment. Nothing in this Section 8(b) shall prohibit Executive from providing truthful testimony in any legal, administrative or
regulatory proceeding and Executive may at all times respond truthfully to a lawfully-issued subpoena, court order or governmental inquiry or as otherwise may be required by law, provided, however, that upon receiving such lawfully-issued subpoena
or court order, Executive shall promptly provide, if allowed by applicable law or regulation, reasonable written notice to Company and cooperate with the Company to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of any proprietary or
trade secret information of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, and the privacy rights of any employee or director; or 

c. use or disclose the Company’s confidential or proprietary information to induce, attempt to induce or knowingly encourage any Customer
of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to divert any business or income from the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to stop or alter the manner in which they are then doing business with the Company or any of its
affiliates or subsidiaries. The term “Customer” shall mean any individual or business firm that is, or within the prior eighteen (18) months was, a customer or client of the Company, whether or not such business was actively
solicited by Executive on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries during Executive’s employment. 
 9.
NONCOMPETITION. During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall not engage, directly or indirectly, in any work, employment, consulting, or other services, for remuneration of any kind for any other person or business
entity that competes with the business of the Company (the “Covered Business”), without prior written approval of the Board. The phrase “engage, directly or indirectly” means engaging or having an interest in, directly or
indirectly, as owner, partner, participant of a joint venture, trustee, proprietor, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee, independent contractor, capital investor, lender, consultant, advisor or similar capacity, or by lending
or allowing his name or reputation to be used in connection with, or otherwise participating in or allowing his skill, knowledge or experience to be used in connection with, the operation, management or control of a business or enterprise engaged in
any aspect of the Covered Business, or being connected with or having any financial interest in any business or enterprise engaged in the Covered Business, except for the purposes of performing services on behalf of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates pursuant to this Agreement. 
 10. INVENTIONS ASSIGNMENT AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

a. Inventions. The Company shall own all right, title, and interest to all ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, processes,
methods, inventions, discoveries, developments, innovations, and improvements developed or created by Executive, either solely or jointly with others, during the term of Executive’s employment that: (i) are reasonably related to the
Company’s business; (ii) involve the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; (iii) result from any work performed by Executive for the Company; or (iv) incorporate any of the Confidential
Information 

  
 7 

 
(as defined below) (collectively, “Inventions”). Executive shall immediately and confidentially communicate a description of any Inventions to the Company and to no other
party at any time, and if the Company so desires, Executive shall execute all documents and instruments and do all things as may be requested by the Company in order to forever vest all right, title and interest in such Inventions solely in the
Company and to obtain such letters of patent, copyrights, registrations or other protections as the Company may, from time to time, desire. In addition, Executive hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest of Executive in and to any
present Inventions made, devised, created, invented or discovered, in whole or in part, by Executive. 
 b. Confidential
Information. During the term of this Agreement and at all times thereafter, Executive shall hold inviolate and keep secret all non-public documents, materials, knowledge or other confidential business or technical information of any nature
whatsoever that the Company has maintained as confidential and that has been disclosed to or developed by him or to which he had access as a result of his employment with the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential
Information”). Such Confidential Information shall include non-public technical and business information, including, but not limited to, inventions, research and development, engineering, products, designs, manufacture, methods, systems,
improvements, trade secrets, formulas, processes, marketing, merchandising, selling, licensing, servicing, pricing, investors, personnel information (including skills, compensation, experience and performance), customer lists and preferences,
records, financial information, manuals and/or business plans and strategies. Executive agrees that all Confidential Information shall remain the sole and absolute property of the Company, unless such information is or becomes publicly available or
disclosed by lawful means. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall not use, disclose, disseminate, publish, reproduce or otherwise make available such Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, except for
the purpose of performing services on behalf of the Company. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall (i) not use, disclose, disseminate, publish, reproduce or otherwise make available
such Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, unless such information is or becomes publicly available or disclosed by lawful means; (ii) return to the Company all property that belongs to or is owned by the
Company (including any computer, cell phone, personal digital assistant, keys, security cards, etc.); and (iii) return to the Company all documents, records, compositions, articles, devices, equipment, electronic storage devices and other items
that disclose or embody Confidential Information, including all copies or specimens thereof (including electronic copies), whether prepared by him or by others, unless such information is or becomes publicly available or disclosed by lawful means.

 11. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Executive agrees that it would be difficult or impossible to measure the damage to the Company from any breach by
Executive of the covenants set forth in Section 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement; that damages to the Company for any such injury would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach, and that such breach would cause irreparable harm to the
Company. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of the terms of any such Section, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach, in addition to and without limitation upon all
other remedies available to the Company for such breach. 

  
 8 

 12. LITIGATION/AUDIT COOPERATION. Executive agrees that following the termination of his employment
for any reason, for a period of twelve (12) months he shall reasonably cooperate at mutually convenient times and locations in connection with (a) the defense of, or prosecution by, the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to any
threatened or pending litigation or in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body that relates to any events or actions which occurred during the term of Executive’s employment with, or service to, the Company; and
(b) any audit of the financial statements of the Company with respect to the period of time when Executive was employed by the Company as Chief Financial Officer. The Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred by
Executive in connection with such cooperation. Executive shall be compensated for his time at a mutually agreed upon rate for any services other than the provision of information to the Company or its counsel and/or testifying as a witness, which he
shall undertake without any compensation up to a maximum obligation of 120 hours. 
 13. WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to any party or allowed it by law shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other. 

14. SEVERABILITY. If any of the provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any party under any circumstances is adjudicated to
be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or the application thereof. 

15. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, along with any related documents referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and completely and irrevocably terminates any and all other previous or contemporaneous communications, representations, understandings, agreements, negotiations and discussions, either oral
or written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The parties acknowledge and agree that there are no written or oral agreements, understandings, or representations, directly or indirectly related to this Agreement or the
employment, compensation or benefits of Executive that are not set forth herein. By executing this Agreement, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is not subject to any agreement with any current or former employer or
consultancy relationship that would prohibit Executive’s acceptance of and performance of his duties and responsibilities under the terms of this Agreement or as contemplated in the future during Executive’s employment with the Company.
Executive agrees that he shall not share any confidential or proprietary information of any prior employer or consultancy or individual with the Company or the Company’s employees. 

16. AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be altered or amended in any of its provisions only by a written agreement signed by each of the
parties hereto. 

  
 9 

 17. SUCCESSORS. The Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the Company and its
successors and assigns, as well as Executive and his estate. Executive may not assign or delegate, in whole or in part, his duties or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement may be transferred and assigned by the Company to any successor of
the Company by acquisition, merger, reorganization, amalgamation, asset sale or otherwise. Upon any assignment of this Agreement by the Company, all obligations of the Company shall terminate, Executive shall become employed by the assignee in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the term “Company” as used in this Agreement shall include only such assignee. 
 18. RIGHTS
CUMULATIVE. The Company’s rights under this Agreement are cumulative, and the exercise of one right will not be deemed to preclude the exercise of any other rights. 

19. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose. 

20. CONSTRUCTION. Each party has cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement, and therefore, the Agreement shall not be
construed against either party on the basis that any particular party was the drafter. 
 21. VOLUNTARY COUNSEL. Executive agrees and
acknowledges that he has read and understood this Agreement prior to signing it, has entered into this Agreement freely and voluntarily and has been advised to seek legal counsel prior to entering into this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to
do so. 
 22. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the internal laws of the
State of Tennessee (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws). 
 23. SECTION 409A.  

a. It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement and the Company’s and Executive’s exercise of authority or discretion
hereunder shall comply with and avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including the Treasury Regulations and other published guidance related thereto). This
Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent. 
 b. To the extent that any reimbursement pursuant to this
Agreement is taxable to Executive, Executive shall provide the Company with documentation of the related expenses promptly so as to facilitate the timing of the reimbursement payment contemplated by this paragraph, and any reimbursement payment due
to Executive pursuant to such provision shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. Such reimbursement obligations pursuant to this
Agreement are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits that Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits that Executive receives in any other taxable year. 

  
 10 

 c. Separation from Service. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of
employment shall mean a separation from service as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h) without regard to any optional alternative definitions available thereunder. 

24. ARBITRATION. 
 a. In exchange
for the benefits of the speedy, economical and impartial dispute resolution procedure of arbitration, the Company and Executive, with the advice and consent of their selected counsel, choose to forego their right to resolution of their disputes in a
court of law by a judge or jury, and instead elect to treat their disputes, if any, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. 
 b. Executive
and the Company agree that any and all claims or controversies whatsoever brought by Executive or the Company, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Executive’s employment with Company, or otherwise arising between Executive and
Company, will be settled by final and binding arbitration in Knoxville, Tennessee or such other location as may be mutually agreed by parties in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation
Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect. This includes all claims whether arising in tort or contract and whether arising under statute or common law. Such claims may include, but are not limited to, those relating to this Agreement,
wrongful termination, retaliation, harassment, or any statutory claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, or similar Federal
or state statutes. In addition, any claims arising out of the public policy of Tennessee, any claims of wrongful termination, employment discrimination, retaliation, or harassment of any kind, as well as any claim related to the termination or
non-renewal of this Agreement shall be arbitrated under the terms of this Agreement. The obligation to arbitrate such claims will survive the termination of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, the hearing and all filings and other
proceedings shall be treated in a private and confidential manner by the arbitrator and all parties and representatives, and shall not be disclosed except as necessary for any related judicial proceedings. 

c. The arbitration will be conducted before an arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by the parties from JAMS’ panel of arbitrators. In
the event that the parties are unable to mutually agree upon the arbitrator, JAMS shall provide a slate of five arbitrators with experience in employment law and each party shall have the opportunity to strike two names and rank the remaining
arbitrators in order of preference. JAMS shall then select the highest ranked arbitrator to preside over the arbitration. If JAMS is unable to provide an arbitrator who has experience in employment law, the parties may jointly or separately petition
the court for appointment of an arbitrator with such experience. The arbitrator will have jurisdiction to determine the arbitrability of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant all monetary or equitable relief (including, without
limitation, 

  
 11 

 
injunctive relief, ancillary costs and fees, and punitive damages) available under state and Federal law. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered and enforced by any court
having jurisdiction thereof. In addition to any other relief awarded, the prevailing party in any arbitration or court action covered by this Agreement, as determined by the arbitrator or court in a final judgment or decree, shall be entitled to
recover costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have
executed this Agreement on the date and year first above written.

current credit agreement (the “Antidilution Protection,” and such new capital raised the “Dilutive Issuance”). Such Antidilution Protection shall result in the Class M Unit Award receiving the same economic
participation as if the Dilutive Issuance had not occurred. As a condition to receiving the Class M Unit Award, you will be required to execute and return to the Company the Class M Unit Agreement and the LLC Agreement, along with a Spousal Consent
Form signed by your spouse, if applicable. The Class M Unit Award will be subject to the following vesting schedule subject to your active and continuous employment through each such date: 25% of the units underlying the Class M Unit Award will vest
on each of the first four (4) full year anniversaries of the Hire Date (provided that any additional Units awarded pursuant to the Antidilution Protection provided to Executive shall vest ratably with such schedule); provided, however, that all

all claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates in a form and substance satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”) within twenty-one (21) days (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law to obtain a
complete and general release of claims) (the “Release Execution Deadline”) after the Company provides the form of Release to you, upon a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, Executive shall
continue to receive his Base Salary through the end of the applicable Severance Period (as defined below) (the “Severance Payments”) in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies then in effect. Such Release shall
be in substantially the same form as attached as Exhibit A hereto, which shall be subject to necessary changes to comply with changes in applicable law to obtain a valid and complete general release of claims. Executive’s right to receive and
retain any of the Severance Payments is contingent upon Executive’s compliance with his continuing obligations to the Company under the terms of this Agreement and the Release. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “Severance

(30) days following its receipt of such written notice from Executive, and within ten (10) days thereafter, Executive terminates his employment for “Good Reason.”

 b. make any
defamatory public statement concerning the financial performance, products, services, the Board or management personnel of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or Executive’s employment. Nothing in this Section 8(b) shall
prohibit Executive from providing truthful testimony in any legal, administrative or regulatory proceeding and Executive may at all times respond truthfully to a lawfully-issued subpoena, court order or governmental inquiry or as otherwise may be
required by law, provided, however, that upon receiving such lawfully-issued subpoena or court order, Executive shall promptly provide, if allowed by applicable law or regulation, reasonable written notice to Company and cooperate with the Company

participant of a joint venture, trustee, proprietor, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee, independent contractor, capital investor, lender, consultant, advisor or similar capacity, or by lending or allowing his name or
reputation to be used in connection with, or otherwise participating in or allowing his skill, knowledge or experience to be used in connection with, the operation, management or control of a business or enterprise engaged in any aspect of the

affiliates pursuant to this Agreement.

Executive shall execute all documents and instruments and do all things as may be requested by the Company in order to forever vest all right, title and interest in such Inventions solely in the Company and to obtain such letters of patent,
copyrights, registrations or other protections as the Company may, from time to time, desire. In addition, Executive hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest of Executive in and to any present Inventions made, devised, created,
invented or discovered, in whole or in part by Executive. 
 b. Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement and
at all times thereafter, Executive shall hold inviolate and keep secret all non-public documents, materials, knowledge or other confidential business or technical information of any nature whatsoever that the Company has maintained as confidential
and that has been disclosed to or developed by him or to which he had access as a result of his employment with the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information shall include
non-public technical and business information, including, but not limited to, inventions, research and development, engineering,

products, designs, manufacture, methods, systems, improvements, trade secrets, formulas, processes, marketing, merchandising, selling, licensing, servicing, pricing, investors, personnel

 11. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.
Executive agrees that it would be difficult or impossible to measure the damage to the Company from any breach by Executive of the covenants set forth in Section 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement; that damages to the Company for any such injury
would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach, and that such breach would cause irreparable harm to the Company. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of the terms of any such Section, the Company shall be entitled to
injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies available to the Company for such breach. 

12. LITIGATION/AUDIT COOPERATION. Executive agrees that following the termination of his employment for any reason, for a period of

statements of the Company with respect to the period of time when Executive was employed by the Company as Chief Financial Officer. The Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in connection with such
cooperation. Executive shall be compensated for his time at a mutually agreed upon rate for any services other than the provision of information to the Company or its counsel and/or testifying as a witness, which he shall undertake without any
compensation up to a maximum obligation of 120 hours. 
 13. WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver of any breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to any party or allowed it by law shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other. 

  
 9
