 Section 8. Transfer. The H&F
Holders may Transfer Public Company CVRs only in accordance with this Section 8 and any purported Transfer of a Public Company CVR other than in accordance with this Section 8 shall be void. Upon the Transfer on or prior to the Test Date
by an H&F Holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to any Person in accordance with the 

  
 -8-

 
Resale and Registration Rights Agreement, an equal number of Public Company CVRs shall automatically be deemed transferred to the same Person and such Person shall be deemed to have become a
party to this Agreement and succeeded to the rights and obligations of such H&F Holder in respect of the Public Company CVRs so Transferred. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder of a share of Convertible Preferred Stock may retain the
corresponding Public Company CVR after the conversion of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock and/or after the subsequent disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock. An H&F Holder may also Transfer
Public Company CVRs, and its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Public Company CVRs, to one or more of its affiliates who enters into an instrument satisfactory to the Company agreeing to be bound by this Agreement in
respect of such Public Company CVRs.

(iv) “Holder’s Number of CVRs” means the number of Public Company CVRs and Partnership CVRs held by

 (d)
Method of Payment. Payment of the Non-APAM Settlement Amount shall be made, at the sole discretion of Holdings, by wire or Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by the Holder in the
Settlement Schedule provided pursuant to Section 5 on the later of the Settlement Date and the fourth Business Day following receipt by Holdings of such Holder’s Settlement Schedule that is properly completed in all material respects.

Amount to a Holder, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Holder and Holdings shall have no further obligations hereunder to such Holder. 
 Section 5. Settlement Procedures. Each Holder (other than the APAM) shall deliver a schedule and certification in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Settlement
Schedule”) to Holdings promptly after the Test Date. Holdings may require any Holder to supply account

statements or confirmations from brokers establishing the number of securities (other than Partnership CVRs or Public Company CVRs) of APAM held or Transferred by such Holder and the date(s) of
and amount(s) of such Holder’s Realized Proceeds. 
 Section 6. Termination. Subject to Section 3, this
Agreement shall terminate and no Holder shall have any rights hereunder (to payment or otherwise) upon the payment by Holdings of the Settlement Amount, if any, due to each Holder pursuant to Section 4.

share of Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock, as applicable, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the holder of the Preferred Unit shall transfer a corresponding Partnership CVR held by the holder to APAM and APAM shall thereupon
issue a Public Company CVR to the holder for each Partnership CVR so transferred pursuant to the Public Company CVR Agreement. 
 Section 8. Transfer. The H&F Holders may Transfer Partnership CVRs only in accordance with this Section 8 and any purported Transfer of a Partnership CVR other than in accordance with
this Section 8 shall be void. Upon the Transfer on or prior to the Test Date by an H&F Holder of Preferred Units to any Person in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, an equal number of Partnership CVRs shall automatically be deemed
transferred to the same Person and such Person shall be deemed to have become a party to this Agreement and succeeded to the rights and obligations of such H&F Holder in respect of the Partnership CVRs so Transferred. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Partnership Agreement permits the Original H&F Holders (as defined therein) to Transfer Preferred Units to their Affiliates (as defined therein). Upon any such Transfer of Preferred Units by an Original H&F Holder to an Affiliate an
equal number of Partnership CVRs shall automatically be deemed Transferred to the Affiliate and such Affiliate shall be deemed to have become a party to this Agreement and succeeded to the rights and obligations of such Original H&F Holder in
respect of the Partnership CVRs so Transferred.

 Section 9. Adjustment. Upon any Stock Subdivision or Combination, the number of Partnership CVRs held by
each Holder shall automatically be adjusted such that the Holder’s Number of CVRs shall increase or decrease in proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of such Stock
Subdivision or Combination. 
 Section 10. No Rights as Partners; Limitation of Liability. Neither this
Agreement nor the Partnership CVRs entitle the Holders to any voting rights or other rights as partners of Holdings. The obligations of Holdings under this Agreement shall be payable solely out of the assets of Holdings and no present, future or
former limited partner of Holdings and no estate of a deceased, present, future or former limited partner of Holdings shall have any liability under or arising out of this Agreement with respect to the obligations of Holdings hereunder.
