Each Incentive Unit will correspond to a Class C Common Unit of Holdings (a “Corresponding Holdings Unit”), the aggregate amount of which is specified in the Supplemental Provisions, with the same vesting, forfeiture, and other conditions applicable to the Incentive Units, and subject to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Holdings, dated as of November 27, 2019 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Holdings LLC Agreement”).
(b) The “Floor Amount” as of the Date of Grant, as such term is used herein and in the Holdings LLC Agreement, is the amount set forth in the Supplemental Provisions, which shall result in the Vested Portion being entitled to Distributions in respect of the Corresponding Holdings Units pursuant to Section 4.1(b) of the Holdings LLC Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof upon satisfaction of the Distribution obligations set forth in Section 4.1(a) of the Holdings LLC Agreement.
(c) The Incentive Units will be subject to (i) the Vesting Schedule and conditions set forth in Section 2 of the Supplemental Provisions and (ii) the vesting conditions set forth in Section 2 herein.

Prior to or after the issuance of the Incentive Units pursuant to this Unit Agreement, the Grantee shall execute and deliver to the IRS an election under Section 83(b) of the Code in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 with respect to the Incentive Units (together, the “83(b) Elections”) on a protective basis. The Grantee understands that (i) in making the 83(b) Elections, the Grantee may be taxed at the time the Incentive Units are received hereunder to the extent the Fair Market Value of the Incentive Units exceeds the price for such Incentive Units and (ii) in order to be effective, the 83(b) Elections must be filed with the IRS within thirty (30) days after the Date of Grant. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that: (x) the foregoing description of the tax consequences of the 83(b) Elections is not intended to be complete and, among other things, does not describe state, local or foreign income and other tax consequences; (y) none of the Company, Holdings, NM Members, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective partners, members, equityholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives (each, a “Related Person”) has provided or is providing the Grantee with tax advice regarding the 83(b) Elections or any other matter, and the Company, Holdings and the NM Members and their respective Affiliates have urged the Grantee to consult the Grantee’s own tax advisor with respect to income taxation consequences of receiving, holding and disposing of the Incentive Units; and (z) none of the Company, Holdings, NM Members or any other Related Person has advised the Grantee to rely on any determination by it or its representatives as to the Fair Market Value specified in the 83(b) Elections and will have no liability to the Grantee if the actual Fair Market Value of the Incentive Units on the date hereof exceeds the amount specified in the respective 83(b) Elections.
1.3. Adjustments. If there shall occur any change with respect to the outstanding Corresponding Holdings Units or the Incentive Units by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, split, reverse split or any merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination, spin-off or other similar change affecting the Corresponding Holdings Units or the Incentive Units, Holdings or the Company may, in the manner and to the extent that it deems appropriate and equitable in its good faith discretion, cause an adjustment to be made in the number of Incentive Units granted hereunder, the Floor Amount, and any other terms hereunder that are affected by the event to prevent dilution or enlargement of Grantee’s rights and obligations hereunder; provided, that no action may be taken by Holdings or the Company pursuant to this Section 1.3 which will have a material adverse effect on the Incentive Units without the prior written consent of Grantee.
A-1
1.4. No Certificates. The Corresponding Holdings Units and Incentive Units shall be uncertificated unless otherwise determined by Holdings, in the case of the Corresponding Holdings Units, or the Company, in the case of the Incentive Units.

(b) Accelerated Vesting of Incentive Units. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(a) hereof, any Incentive Units shall become fully vested upon the occurrence of a Company Sale so long as the Grantee has not been Terminated prior to such Company Sale.
2.2. Compensation Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting of any portion of the Incentive Units at any time and for any reason, which shall automatically result in the accelerated vesting of such correlative portion of the Corresponding Holdings Units.
2.3. Deferred Consideration. In connection with a Company Sale, if any portion of the transaction consideration to be received by equityholders of Holdings is subject to any contingency or future event including, without limitation, transaction escrow arrangement, holdback, installment arrangements or earnouts (“Deferred Consideration”) is received by equityholders of Holdings in connection with a Company Sale, a portion of the proceeds (representing the incremental dollars to be distributed under Holdings’s distribution waterfall then in effect) to be received by the Grantee in respect of the Incentive Units may be made subject to such deferral arrangement on the same basis as the transaction consideration to be received by such equityholders is made subject to such arrangement (taking into account any applicable requirements under Section 409A of the Code).
2.4. Vested Portion. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the term “Vested Portion” shall refer to the portion of the Incentive Units which as of a determination date, have become vested as described in this Section 2 and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Unit Agreement, continue to remain vested as of such date.

For the sake of clarity, the Company may elect to repurchase any of the Incentive Units of the Grantee and/or, as applicable, any of his or her Permitted Transferees in one or more separate transactions.

Section 4. Termination.
4.1. In General. If the Grantee’s employment or service relationship Terminates (other than in the case of a Termination for Cause), irrespective of whether the Grantee receives, in connection with such Termination, any severance or other payment from Holdings under any employment or service agreement or otherwise, the Incentive Units, other than the Vested Portion of the Incentive Units, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of and following the close of business on the date of such Termination.
4.2. Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything in this Unit Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to the rights of the Company set forth in this Section 4 (or any other right the Company may have), the Incentive Units, including the Vested Portion of the Incentive Units, shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, without any consideration being paid therefore and without further action by the Company or any other Person, upon a Termination of the Grantee by Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings for Cause.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no rights of the Grantee are reduced or adversely affected, the Compensation Committee may otherwise define Termination of Employment or Service thereafter, provided that any such change to the definition of the term “Termination of Employment or Service” does not subject the applicable Incentive Units to Section 409A of the Code.
Section 5. Prohibited Activities.

6.3. Grantee Representations. The Grantee shall be deemed to acknowledge and make the following representations and warranties and as otherwise may be requested by Holdings or the Company for compliance with applicable laws, and any issuances of Incentive Units by the Company and any issuance of Corresponding Holdings Units by Holdings hereunder shall be made in reliance upon the express representations and warranties of the Grantee:
(a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Grantee of this Unit Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both) result in a violation or breach of, conflict with, cause increased liability or fees, or require approval, consent or authorization under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation or (ii) any contract or agreement to which the Grantee is a party or by which the Grantee or any of Grantee’s properties or assets may be bound or affected.
(b) The Grantee has all requisite legal capacity and authority to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Unit Agreement and the LLC Agreement.
(c) The Incentive Units must be held indefinitely and Grantee must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Incentive Units unless the offer and sale of such Incentive Units are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state security laws or an exemption from such registration available (or otherwise provided in the LLC Agreement).
(d) The Grantee is acquiring and will hold the Incentive Units to be issued hereunder for investment for the Grantee’s account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws.
(e) The Grantee has been advised that the Incentive Units to be issued hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws, on the ground that no distribution or public offering of such Incentive Units is to be effected (it being understood, however, that such Incentive Units are being issued and sold in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable securities laws). In connection with the foregoing, Holdings and the Company are relying in part on the Grantee’s representations set forth in this Section 6.3 and the representations included in the Supplemental Provisions, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges and understands that the Company and Holdings are under no obligation hereunder to register the Incentive Units to be issued hereunder.
(f) The Grantee is aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a non-public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is familiar with the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144, and acknowledges and understands that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company and Holdings have no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.
(g) The Grantee will not Transfer the Incentive Units in violation of this Unit Agreement, the LLC Agreement, the Securities Act (or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) or under any other applicable securities laws; provided that, the foregoing shall in no way limit the Grantee’s ability to Transfer the Incentive Units pursuant to the provisions of the LLC Agreement. The Grantee agrees that the Grantee will not Transfer the Incentive Units to be issued hereunder unless and until the Grantee has complied with all requirements of this Unit Agreement, or the LLC Agreement applicable to the disposition of such Incentive Units.
A-5
(h) The Grantee has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company and Holdings concerning the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Incentive Units and to obtain any additional information which the Company or Holdings possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that the Grantee has requested.
(i) The Grantee is an experienced and sophisticated investor and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as are necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Incentive Units. The Grantee is aware that the Incentive Units are a speculative investment that has limited liquidity and is subject to the risk of complete loss. The Grantee is able, without impairing the Grantee’s financial condition, to hold the Incentive Units to be issued hereunder for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of the Grantee’s investment in such Incentive Units.
(j) The Grantee has only relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, the Grantee’s own legal, financial and tax advisors, and the determination of the Grantee to acquire the Incentive Units pursuant to this Unit Agreement has been made by the Grantee independent of any statements or opinions as to the advisability of such acquisition or as to the properties, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Person (including all Persons acquiring Incentive Units on the date hereof) or by any agent or employee of such Person and independent of the fact that any other Person has decided to become a holder of Incentive Units.
6.4. Governing Law; Venue; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trials.
(a) This Unit Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any dispute relating hereto shall be heard in the state or federal courts of Delaware, and the parties agree to jurisdiction and venue therein (it being understood and agreed that any order from any such court may be enforced in any other jurisdiction). Each of the parties hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action arising under or relating to this Unit Agreement whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. The parties hereto each hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties hereto may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Unit Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.
(b) The Grantee (i) agrees that service of process in any such any claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action arising under this Unit Agreement may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party, in the case of the Grantee, at the Grantee’s address shown in the books and records of the Company or Holdings, in the case of the Company, at the Company’s principal offices, attention General Counsel, or in the case of Holdings, at Holdings’s principal offices, attention General Counsel, and (ii) agrees that nothing in this Unit Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.
6.5. Specific Performance. Each of the parties agrees that any breach of the terms of this Unit Agreement will result in irreparable injury and damage to the other parties, for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Each of the parties therefore agrees that in the event of a breach or any threat of breach, the other parties shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach, threatened breach or continued breach, and/or compelling specific performance of this Unit Agreement, without having to prove the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy or balancing the equities between the parties. Such remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies (including monetary damages) to which the other parties may be entitled at law or in equity. Each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy.
A-6
6.6. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Unit Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Unit Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Unit Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
