terminate the Optionee’s employment or to increase or decrease the Optionee’s compensation at any time.

 ATTACHMENT A 
 The Optionee, by executing this Agreement, hereby makes the following representations to the Company and acknowledges that the Company’s reliance on federal, state and foreign securities law
exemptions from registration and qualification is predicated, in substantial part, upon the accuracy of these representations: 
  

	1.	United States: 

 If the Optionee is
a resident of the United States, the following representations and warranties are made by such Optionee: 
  

	(a)	The Optionee acknowledges that the Option and the Common Units are not being registered under the Securities Act, based, in part, on either (i) reliance upon an
exemption from registration under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the fact that the Optionee is an “accredited investor” (as defined under the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder), and, in each of (i) and (ii) above, a comparable exemption from qualification under applicable state securities laws, as each may be amended from time to time. 

 

	(b)	The Optionee is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) of the Securities Act. 

 

	(c)	The Optionee is acquiring the Option and, if and when he exercises the Option, will acquire the Common Units solely for the Optionee’s own account, for investment
purposes only, and not with a view to or an intent to sell, or to offer for resale in connection with any unregistered distribution, all or any portion of the Common Units or Option within the meaning of the Securities Act and/or any applicable
state securities laws. 

  

	(d)	The Optionee acknowledges that he has not acquired the Option or the Common Units as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising in the United States,
including any meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising. 

  

	(e)	The Optionee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Option and the restrictions imposed
on any Common Units purchased upon exercise of the Option. The Optionee has been furnished with, and/or has access to, such information as he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to exercise the Option and purchase the Common
Units. However, in evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Units, the Optionee has and will rely only upon the advice of his own legal counsel, tax advisors, and/or investment advisors. 

 

	(f)	 The Optionee is aware that the Option may be of no practical value, that any value it may

  
 11 

	 	 
have depends on its vesting and exercisability as well as an increase in the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Units to an amount in excess of the Option Price, and that any investment
in common units of a closely held company such as the Company is non-marketable, non-transferable and could require capital to be invested for an indefinite period of time, possibly without return, and at substantial risk of loss.

  

	(g)	The Optionee understands that the Option and the Common Units are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the United States within the
meaning of the Securities Act and that the Option and the Common Units have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and that the Option and the Common Units are “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144(a)(3)
under the Securities Act, and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances, including in accordance with the conditions of Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act or in an offshore transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, each as presently in effect. The Optionee acknowledges reviewing a copy of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act and Regulation S under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and represents that he is familiar with such rule, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and the
applicable state securities law. 

  

	(h)	The Optionee agrees that he will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in which he sells any of the securities or otherwise
transfers any interest therein. 

  

	(i)	The Optionee has read and understands the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Management Investor Rights Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement.

  

	(j)	The Optionee understands and acknowledges that, if and when he exercises the Option, (a) any writing evidencing the Common Units (or evidencing any other
securities issued with respect thereto pursuant to any unit split, unit dividend, merger or other form of reorganization or recapitalization) when issued shall bear any legends which may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws,
and (b) except as otherwise provided under the Management Investor Rights Agreement, the Company has no obligation to register the Common Units or file any registration statement under federal or state securities laws.

 (a) Commercial Relationship. The Optionee expressly recognizes that Optionee’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s grant of the Options does not constitute an employment relationship
between Optionee and the Company. The Optionee has been granted the Options as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Employer, and the Employer is the Optionee’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing,
(a) the Optionee expressly recognizes the Plan and the benefits the Optionee may derive from participation in the Plan does not establish any rights between the Optionee and the Employer, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Optionee may
derive from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Employer, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not
constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of Optionee’s employment with the Employer. 
 (b) Effective Date of
Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, any termination of employment shall be effective as of the date the Optionee’s active employment ends and shall not
be extended by any statutory or common law notice period. 
 (c) Compliance with Age Discrimination Rules. If the Optionee is a local national
of and employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Options and the terms and conditions governing the grant of the Options are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment
Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of the grant of the Options is invalid or unenforceable, in
whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent
permitted under local law. 
 (d) Tax Withholding. The following provision shall replace Section 17 of the Agreement in its entirety:

  
 16 

 Regardless of any action the Company and the Employer take with respect to any or all income tax (including
U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related
Items legally due by the Optionee is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility, and that the Company and the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any
aspect of the Options, including the grant of the Options, the vesting of the Options, the subsequent sale of any Common Units acquired pursuant to the Options and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of
the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. 
 Prior to the delivery of
the Common Units upon the vesting of the Options, if any taxing jurisdiction requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole Common Units otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the Options that have
an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined under the Plan) sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Common Units. The cash equivalent of the Common Units withheld will be used to settle the
obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. No fractional Common Units will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the Options and the issuance of Common Units hereunder. Alternatively, the Company and the Employer may, in its discretion,
withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from the Optionee’s salary or other amounts payable to the Optionee, with no withholding in Common Units. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the
withholding of Common Units or through the Optionee’s salary or other amounts payable to the Optionee, no Common Units will be issued upon vesting of the Options unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have
been made by the Optionee with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company and the Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Options. By accepting this grant of Options, the
Optionee expressly consents to the withholding of Common Units and/or cash as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Options and any Common Units delivered in payment thereof are the Optionee’s sole responsibility.

 (e) Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. The Optionee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Options, to repatriate all payments
attributable to the Options and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Common Units acquired pursuant to the Options) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and
regulations applicable to the Optionee. In addition, the Optionee also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as may be required to allow the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Optionee. Finally, the Optionee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Optionee’s personal legal and tax obligations
under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Optionee. 
 (f) Discretionary Nature of Plan; No Vested Rights. The Optionee
acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is discretionary in nature and limited in duration, and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the

  
 17 

 
Options under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an award or benefits in lieu of Options in the future. Future awards, if any, will be at
the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of an award, the number of Common Units subject to the award, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall not
constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Optionee’s employment with the Employer. 
 (g) Termination
Indemnities. The value of the Optionee’s Options is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment contract, if any. As such, the Options are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of
calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments. 
 (h) English. Language. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Optionee’s express intent that the Plan, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings
entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Options, be drawn up in English. If the Optionee has received the Plan, the Agreement, this Addendum or any other documents related to the Options translated into a language other than English, and
if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version shall control. 
 (i) Additional
Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Options, any Common Units acquired pursuant to the Options, and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole
discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Optionee to sign any
agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 
 (j) Private Placement. The grant of the Options is not intended
to be a public offering of securities in the Optionee’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities
(unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Options is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities. No employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate is permitted to advise the Employee on
whether the Employee should acquire, hold and/or sell Common Units under the Plan. The acquisition and/or disposition of units of Common Units involves a degree of risk, and the Employee should carefully consider all risk factors relevant to the
Employee’s personal situation. In addition, the Employee should carefully review all of the materials related to the Option and the Plan, and the Employee should consult with his or her personal advisor for professional investment advice.

 (k) Consent to Collection, Processing and Transfer of Personal Data. Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the Company hereby
notifies the Optionee of the following in relation to the Optionee’s personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such data in relation to the Company’s grant of this award and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.
The collection, processing and transfer of the Optionee’s personal data is necessary for 

  
 18 

 
the Company’s administration of the Plan and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee’s denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal
data may affect the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. As such, the Optionee voluntarily acknowledges and consents (where required under applicable law) to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this
paragraph. 
 The Company and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Optionee, including name, home address and telephone
number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Units or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to Common Units awarded, canceled,
purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Data may be provided by the Optionee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company
will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and
procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which Data are collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Optionee’s country of residence. Data processing operations will
be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for
purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Plan and for the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. 
 The Company
and the Employer will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and the Employer may each further transfer Data to
any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of’ the Plan. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. The Optionee
hereby authorizes (where required under applicable law) them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the
Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Common Units on the Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may
elect to deposit any Common Units acquired pursuant to the Plan. 
 The Participant may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under
applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data, (c) request the integration, update, amendment,
deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data, and (d) to oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or
operation of the Plan and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Participant’s local HR manager or the Company’s Human Resources Department.

Upon the exercise on an Option, and in the event that the other wage payments in cash receivable for Optionee for the relevant time period
are not sufficient to cover the employer’s liability to pay wage tax and social security contributions on behalf of the Optionee, the Company shall have the right to (i) require the Optionee to pay or provide for payment of the amount of
any taxes and social security contributions which the German employer of the Optionee may be required to withhold with respect to the exercise; or (ii) reduce the number of units to be delivered to the Optionee in connection with the exercise

 ATTACHMENT A 
 The Optionee, by executing this Agreement, hereby makes the following representations to the Company and acknowledges that the Company’s reliance on federal, state and foreign securities law
exemptions from registration and qualification is predicated, in substantial part, upon the accuracy of these representations: 
  

	1.	United States: 

 If the Optionee is
a resident of the United States, the following representations and warranties are made by such Optionee: 
  

	(a)	The Optionee acknowledges that the Option and the Common Units are not being registered under the Securities Act, based, in part, on either (i) reliance upon an
exemption from registration under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the fact that the Optionee is an “accredited investor” (as defined under the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder), and, in each of (i) and (ii) above, a comparable exemption from qualification under applicable state securities laws, as each may be amended from time to time. 

 

	(b)	The Optionee is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) of the Securities Act. 

 

	(c)	The Optionee is acquiring the Option and, if and when he exercises the Option, will acquire the Common Units solely for the Optionee’s own account, for investment
purposes only, and not with a view to or an intent to sell, or to offer for resale in connection with any unregistered distribution, all or any portion of the Common Units or Option within the meaning of the Securities Act and/or any applicable
state securities laws. 

  

	(d)	The Optionee acknowledges that he has not acquired the Option or the Common Units as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising in the United States,
including any meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising. 

  

	(e)	The Optionee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Option and the restrictions imposed
on any Common Units purchased upon exercise of the Option. The Optionee has been furnished with, and/or has access to, such information as he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to exercise the Option and purchase the Common
Units. However, in evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Units, the Optionee has and will rely only upon the advice of his own legal counsel, tax advisors, and/or investment advisors.

have depends on its vesting and exercisability as well as an increase in the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Units to an amount in excess of the Option Price, and that any investment
in common units of a closely held company such as the Company is non-marketable, non-transferable and could require capital to be invested for an indefinite period of time, possibly without return, and at substantial risk of loss.

  

	(g)	The Optionee understands that the Option and the Common Units are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the United States within the
meaning of the Securities Act and that the Option and the Common Units have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and that the Option and the Common Units are “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144(a)(3)
under the Securities Act, and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances, including in accordance with the conditions of Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act or in an offshore transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, each as presently in effect. The Optionee acknowledges reviewing a copy of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act and Regulation S under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and represents that he is familiar with such rule, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and the
applicable state securities law. 

  

	(h)	The Optionee agrees that he will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in which he sells any of the securities or otherwise
transfers any interest therein. 

  

	(i)	The Optionee has read and understands the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Management Investor Rights Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement.

  

	(j)	The Optionee understands and acknowledges that, if and when he exercises the Option, (a) any writing evidencing the Common Units (or evidencing any other
securities issued with respect thereto pursuant to any unit split, unit dividend, merger or other form of reorganization or recapitalization) when issued shall bear any legends which may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws,
and (b) except as otherwise provided under the Management Investor Rights Agreement, the Company has no obligation to register the Common Units or file any registration statement under federal or state securities laws.
