Exhibit 10.23

ATHENE HOLDING LTD.

2014 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

AMENDED AND RESTATED RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of [•] (the “Effective Date”), is made between ATHENE HOLDING LTD., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares (the “Company”), and the Participant set forth on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Participant”).

WHEREAS, the Company, acting through the Committee with the consent of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), previously granted to the Participant, effective on [•] (the “Grant Date”), a restricted share unit award pursuant to the Athene Holding Ltd. 2014 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the terms and conditions of which were set forth in that certain restricted share unit award agreement, dated as of [•], between the Company and the Participant (the “Prior Award Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Company, acting through the Committee with the consent of the Board, and the Participant have agreed to amend and restate the Prior Award Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan; and

WHEREAS, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Awards that are granted by the Company and settled in Shares are subject to the terms of the Sixth Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its securityholders, dated as of April 4, 2014 (as it may be further amended from time to time, the “Shareholders Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. The Plan.

The terms and provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth herein in their entirety. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. A copy of the Plan may be obtained from the Company by the Participant upon request. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan or the Shareholders Agreement, as the case may be.

Section 2. Grant.

Effective on the Grant Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan and the Prior Award Agreement, the Company granted to the Participant an Award to receive Restricted Share Units (the “RSUs”). The RSUs are separated into two tranches for vesting purposes, the Tranche 1 RSUs (“Tranche 1 RSUs”) and Tranche 2 RSUs (“Tranche 2 RSUs”), in the amounts set forth on the signature page hereto.

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

Section 3. Dividend Equivalent Payments and Voting Rights.

A Participant who holds RSUs shall not have any rights of a shareholder (including, without limitation, voting rights) with respect to such RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after a Return of Investment (as defined below) has been achieved, in the event the Company pays a dividend on the Shares, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an Adjusted Dividend Equivalent Payment (as defined below) on the RSUs (the “Specified RSUs”) held by the Participant that would have been eligible to receive the dividend had such RSUs been a corresponding number of Shares and been vested. The Adjusted Dividend Equivalent Payment shall be payable as soon as practicable following the date on which any RSUs vest pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b) (a “Vesting Date”), and in no event more two and one-half months after such Vesting Date; provided that under no circumstances shall any such Adjusted Dividend Equivalent Payment be paid prior to the achievement of a Return on Investment (as defined below). An “Adjusted Dividend Equivalent Payment” means, with respect to each dividend declared and paid on Shares by the Company following the achievement of a Return on Investment (including, with respect to the dividend which causes a Return of Investment to be achieved, the portion, if any, of such dividend in excess of the amount necessary to cause a Return of Investment), the per RSU dividend equivalent payment amount calculated by determining the total amount of dividends that would have been payable on the Specified RSUs, assuming, solely for this purpose, that (a) the Specified RSUs were a corresponding number of Shares and (b) the time and performance hurdles under Sections 4(a) and 4(b) below were fully satisfied in each case as of the time that such dividend was paid, and dividing this amount by the number of Specified RSUs. “Return of Investment” shall be the time at which dividends (whether in cash or specie) or consideration in redemption shall have been paid, or Realized Cash shall have been received or deemed to have been received, with respect to the Class A Common Shares actually purchased on or after the initial closing date of the Company’s 2014 private placement of Class A Common Shares (the “Placement Date”) in an amount equal to the offering price per share in such private placement. Solely for the purpose of this Section 3 and Section 5, for purposes of determining Return of Investment, Realized Cash shall be deemed to have been received after an IPO in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of such Class A Common Shares and (B) the volume weighted average closing trading price for such Class A Common Shares during the ninety (90) preceding trading days before any date of determination.

If the Participant forfeits any unvested RSUs, the Participant shall also forfeit any dividend equivalent payments otherwise deliverable in connection with the forfeited RSUs.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Participant agrees to waive the Participant’s right to receive any Adjusted Dividend Equivalent Payments in excess of the amount equal to the offering price per share in the Company’s 2014 private placement of Class A Common Shares but less than [•].

Section 4. Vesting and Settlement.

Subject to the Participant’s not having a Termination of Relationship prior to the applicable Vesting Date (except as provided in Sections 4(a)(ii), 4(a)(iii) and 4(b)(ii)), the RSUs shall become non-forfeitable and the restrictions imposed thereon pursuant to Section 6(a) shall lapse (any RSUs that shall have become non-forfeitable pursuant to Section 4, the “Vested RSUs”) according to the following provisions:

(a) Tranche 1 RSUs.

(i) Twenty-percent (20%) of the Tranche 1 RSUs shall become Vested RSUs on each of the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th anniversaries of [•], and prior to becoming vested, shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(a).

(ii) In the event of the consummation of a Sale of the Company or upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (A) prior to the Participant’s Termination of Relationship or (B) within six (6) months following a Termination of Relationship of the Participant by the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or the Asset Management Company without Cause, by the Participant for Good Reason or as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability (each, a “Qualifying Termination”) the Tranche 1 RSUs which have not theretofore vested or been forfeited shall vest in full and shall become Vested RSUs. “Change in Control” means any event or series of events by which (i) the Apollo Group ceases to own, directly or indirectly, equity interests in the Company (“Equity Interests”) representing 40% or more on a fully-diluted basis of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company, and (ii) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of a greater percentage on a fully-diluted basis of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company than such percentage owned by the Apollo Group. For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, “Apollo Group” means (i) Apollo Global Management, LLC, any investment fund or managed account managed by Apollo Global Management, LLC and any of their respective Affiliates (in each case, other than any operating portfolio companies of an Apollo managed fund or the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries), and (ii) any employees of or consultants to the entities described in clause (i) of this sentence.

(iii) In the event that the Participant is party to a written employment agreement with either the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or with the Asset Management Company, any vesting provisions applicable to the Tranche 1 RSUs contained therein are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, any Tranche 1 RSUs that are unvested on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship (excluding any RSUs that are eligible to vest pursuant to Section 4(a)(iii)) shall be forfeited to the Company as of such date in accordance with Section 6; provided, that, any Tranche 1

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

3

RSUs that are eligible to vest following the Participant’s Qualifying Termination pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) shall be forfeited to the Company on the date that is six (6) months following the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination, to the extent then unvested.

(v) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no portion of the Tranche 1 RSUs will vest or be settled until the effective date (the “IPO Date”) of an underwritten initial public offering of the Class A Common Shares of Athene (an “IPO”). Any Tranche 1 RSUs that otherwise would have vested and not been forfeited prior to the IPO Date shall vest on the IPO Date.

(b) Tranche 2 RSUs.

(i) The Tranche 2 RSUs shall become Vested RSUs pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 1, and prior to becoming vested, shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(a). For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b)(ii), any Tranche 2 RSUs that are unvested on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship shall be forfeited to the Company as of such date in accordance with Section 6.

(ii) In the event of a Qualifying Termination of the Participant, the Tranche 2 RSUs that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Qualifying Termination shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 1 for a period of eighteen (18) months following the later of the IPO Date and the date of such Qualifying Termination and, to the extent such Tranche 2 RSUs are unvested at the end of such eighteen (18) month period, shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.

(iii) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no portion of the Tranche 2 RSUs will vest or be settled until the effective date (the “IPO Date”) of an underwritten initial public offering of the Class A Common Shares of Athene (an “IPO”). Any Tranche 2 RSUs that otherwise would have vested and not been forfeited prior to the IPO Date shall vest on the IPO Date.

(c) Settlement of Vested RSUs.

As soon as practicable following a Vesting Date with respect to any portion of the RSUs, and in no event more than two and one-half months after such Vesting Date, the Company shall settle such vested RSUs by paying to the Participant an amount that equals the product of (a) and (b), where:

(a) equals the number of RSUs that vest on the Vesting Date; and

(b) equals (i) the Fair Market Value of a Class A Common Share on the Vesting Date, reduced by (ii) the Deemed Conversion Price per RSU.

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

4

For this purpose, the “Deemed Conversion Price” equals (i) [•], reduced by (ii) the per share dividends and other distributions, if any, paid by the Company in respect of the Class A Common Shares since the Placement Date but not previously paid to the Participant.

Such amount may be settled in cash, in whole Class A Common Shares or in a combination of both, as determined by the Company in its discretion. If Class A Common Shares are used, such shares will be valued as of the Vesting Date and the Participant shall pay to the Company with respect to each such Class A Common Share so used a purchase price per share equal to the par value per share of a Class A Common Share (as of the Grant Date, $0.001 per share).

Section 5. Limitations upon Liquidation and Distributions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan or the Shareholders Agreement, it is the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that (i) upon a Liquidation of the Company, any distributions on or proceeds in respect of RSUs shall only be paid to the extent a Return of Investment has been achieved and such RSUs have vested but not yet been settled, and (ii) RSUs shall not be entitled to accrue any dividend equivalent payments until the achievement of a Return of Investment; provided, however, that the Participant agrees to waive the Participant’s right to receive, upon Liquidation, any distributions in excess of the amount equal to the offering price per share in the Company’s 2014 private placement of Class A Common Shares but less than [•]. For this purpose, a Return of Investment shall be determined including sale proceeds and deemed sale proceeds taken into account for purposes of Section 3.

Section 6. Forfeiture; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Effect of Termination of Employment Prior to Vesting. Except as expressly provided in Section 4(a)(ii) and Section 4(a)(iii) as to the Tranche 1 RSUs and Section 4(b)(ii) as to the Tranche 2 RSUs, if the Participant ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Company, a Subsidiary or the Asset Management Company (other than by virtue of any transfer of the Participant’s employment or services as among the Company, a Subsidiary and the Asset Management Company), the Participant’s RSUs shall be forfeited to the Company to the extent such RSUs have not become Vested RSUs pursuant to Section 4 as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship (regardless of the reason for such termination of employment or service, whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily, or due to death or Disability). RSUs subject to Section 4(a)(ii), Section 4(a)(iii) and Section 4(b)(ii) shall be forfeited on the date or dates such RSUs are no longer eligible to vest pursuant to such provisions to the extent that such RSUs do not become Vested RSUs prior to such date or dates. In addition, in the event of the earliest to occur of (i) a Sale of the Company, (ii) a Liquidation of the Company, or (iii) the 10^th anniversary of the Grant Date, the Participant’s RSUs shall be forfeited to the Company immediately prior to the occurrence of such event to the extent such RSUs have not become Vested RSUs or to the extent that such RSUs shall not otherwise become Vested RSUs upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company or the Liquidation of the Company. Upon the occurrence of any forfeiture of RSUs hereunder, such forfeited RSUs shall be automatically cancelled by the Company as of the date of such forfeiture, without any other action by the Participant.

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

(b) Transfers Void; Status of Holders. Any sale or Transfer, or purported sale or Transfer, of any RSUs acquired pursuant to this Agreement or any interest therein other than to the Company or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be null and void. The RSUs represent merely an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to pay amounts in the future. The holders of RSUs have rights with respect to such amounts no greater than general unsecured creditors of the Company.

(c) Charter Documents. The Certificate of Altered Memorandum of Association, the Bye-laws of the Company, the Subscription Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), as any of them may be amended from time to time, may provide for additional restrictions and limitations with respect to the Shares (including additional restrictions and limitations relating to the preference return on common equity of the Company to the shareholders of such equity and on the transfer of Shares). To the extent that the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Other Agreements are greater than those set forth in this Agreement, such restrictions and limitations shall apply to the RSUs as well as any Class A Common A Shares used to settle vested RSUs and are incorporated herein by this reference. The restrictions and limitations set forth in such Other Agreements are not, however, in lieu of, nor shall they in any way reduce or eliminate, any limitation or restriction on the RSUs (or any Class A Common A Shares used to settle vested RSUs) imposed under the Plan or this Agreement, including Section 6(d) below. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Other Agreements and the terms of the Plan or this Agreement, the terms contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall be controlling.

(d) Call Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Other Agreements to the contrary (including Section 3.7 of the Shareholders Agreement), the Participant and the Company agree that the provisions of this Section 6(d) shall apply with respect to the Class A Common Shares, if any, issued to the Participant pursuant to Section 4(c) (collectively, any such Class A Common Shares and any shares into which such Class A Common Shares are exchanged or converted in connection with or prior to an IPO, referred to hereinafter as the “Settled Shares”)).

(i) Within 270 days following a Participant’s Termination of Relationship for any reason, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to repurchase all or any portion of the Settled Shares, and the Participant shall be obligated to sell any such Settled Shares in accordance with this Section 6(d). Any Permitted Transferee that received Settled Shares pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Transfer as set forth in the Shareholders Agreement shall be subject to this Section 6(d) as if such Permitted Transferee and the Participant through which such Permitted Transferee received such Settled Shares are one and the same. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s repurchase of a portion of the Settled Shares held by the Participant (or Permitted Transferee) shall not preclude the Company from repurchasing additional Settled Shares held by such Participant (or Permitted Transferee) at a later date or dates within the 270-day period described above.

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

(ii) In the event that the Company wishes to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6(d), the Company shall deliver to such Participant (or his or her heirs or representatives), a timely written notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) that sets forth (i) the number of Settled Shares the Company is repurchasing, (ii) an indication of the price to be paid for each such Settled Shares and (iii) the anticipated closing date of such transaction. The Company shall have the right to revoke the Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the consummation of such repurchase.

(iii) Any repurchase of Settled Shares by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(d) shall be consummated on a date (the “Repurchase Date”) within thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of a Repurchase Notice. Any repurchase of Settled Shares by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(d) shall be made:

(A) if the Termination of Relationship occurred for any reason other than Cause, in cash at a price per Class A Common Share equal to the volume weighted average closing trading price of a Class A Common Share on the principal exchange where the Class A Common Shares are traded during the 60-trading day period immediately preceding the date of the Repurchase Notice; and

(B) if the Termination of Relationship occurred for Cause, in cash at a price per Class A Common Share equal to the Deemed Conversion Price.

(iv) The Repurchase Price (defined below) shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment on the Repurchase Date. The Participant (or Permitted Transferee) hereby agrees that upon his or her receipt of such Repurchase Price, the outstanding Settled Shares then owned by such Participant (or Permitted Transferee) that are sold pursuant to this Section 6(d) shall automatically be transferred, sold and assigned to the Company and the Secretary of the Company shall automatically and irrevocably be appointed to transfer such Settled Shares to the Company on the books of the Company with full power of substitution. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the “Repurchase Price” means the price referred to in Sections 6(d)(iii), as applicable.

(v) The Participant (or Permitted Transferee) agrees to provide customary representations and warranties to the Company, including (A) his or her power, authority and legal capacity to enter into such sale and to transfer valid right, title and interest in such Settled Shares; (B) his or her ownership of such Settled Shares and the absence of any liens, pledges, and other encumbrances on such Settled Shares; and (C) the absence of any violation, default, or acceleration of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Participant (or Permitted Transferee) or the assets of such Participant (or Permitted Transferee) are bound as the result of such sale.

(vi) If the Participant (or Permitted Transferee) holds Settled Shares which the Company wishes to repurchase in accordance with this Section 6(d), the Participant (or Permitted Transferee) shall be entitled to payment in accordance with this Section 6(d), but shall no longer be entitled to participation in the Company or enjoy other rights as a shareholder with respect to the Settled Shares subject to such repurchase. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Participant’s (or Permitted Transferee’s) rights following the Repurchase Notice, with respect to the repurchase of Settled Shares covered thereby, shall be solely the rights that he or she has as a general creditor of the Company to receive the amount set forth in this Section 6(d).

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

7

(vii) The provisions of this Section 6(d) shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to any Settled Shares that are no longer subject to the Lock-up (as defined in the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated April 4, 2014).

Section 7. Protective Covenants.

(a) Confidential Information. The Participant shall not disclose or use at any time any Confidential Information (as defined below) of which the Participant is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by the Participant, except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by the Participant’s performance in good faith of duties for the Company, the Asset Management Company or their respective Affiliates. The Participant shall take all appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information in the Participant’s possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. The Participant shall deliver to the Company upon the Participant’s Termination of Relationship, or at any time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information or the business of the Company, the Asset Management Company or any of their respective Affiliates which the Participant may then possess or have under his or her control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may truthfully respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process, but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought, and shall assist the Company and such counsel in resisting or otherwise responding to such process. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to the public and that is used, developed or obtained by the Company, the Asset Management Company or their respective Affiliates in connection with their businesses, including, but not limited to, information, observations and data obtained by the Participant while providing services to the Company, the Asset Management Company, their respective Affiliates or any predecessors thereof (including those obtained prior to the date hereof) concerning (i) the business or affairs of the Company, the Asset Management Company or their respective Affiliates (or such predecessors), (ii) products or services, (iii) fees, costs and pricing structures, (iv) designs, (v) analyses, (vi) drawings, photographs and reports, (vii) computer software, including operating systems, applications and program listings, (viii) flow charts, manuals and documentation, (ix) data bases, (x) accounting and business methods, (xi) inventions, devices, new developments, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice, (xii) customers and clients and customer or client lists, (xiii) other copyrightable works, (xiv) all production methods, processes, technology and trade secrets, and (xv) all similar and related information in whatever form. Confidential Information will not include any information that has been published (other than a disclosure by the Participant in breach of this Agreement) in a form generally available to the public prior to the date the Participant proposes to disclose or use such information. Confidential Information will not be deemed to have been published merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features comprising such information have been published in combination.

Nothing herein (including, without limitation, any provision of this Section 7 shall, or is intended to, limit the Participant’s right to file a proceeding with, or provide truthful evidence or other information to, any federal, state or local governmental agency.

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

(b) Restriction on Competition. The Participant acknowledges that, in the course of his or her service with the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Asset Management Company and/or their predecessors (the “Protected Companies”), he or she has become familiar, or will become familiar, with the Protected Companies’ trade secrets and with other confidential and proprietary information concerning the Protected Companies and that his or her services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Protected Companies. The Participant agrees that if the Participant were to become employed by, or substantially involved in, the business of a competitor of the Protected Companies during the Restricted Period, it would be very difficult for the Participant not to rely on or use the Protected Companies’ trade secrets and confidential information. Thus, to avoid the inevitable disclosure of the Protected Companies’ trade secrets and confidential information, and to protect such trade secrets and confidential information and the Protected Companies’ relationships and goodwill with customers, during the Restricted Period, the Participant will not directly or indirectly through any other Person engage in, enter the employ of, render any services to, have any ownership interest in, nor participate in the financing, operation, management or control of, any Competing Business. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “directly or indirectly through any other Person engage in” shall include, without limitation, any direct or indirect ownership or profit participation interest in such enterprise, whether as an owner, stockholder, member, partner, joint venturer or otherwise, and shall include any direct or indirect participation in such enterprise as an employee, consultant, director, officer or licensor of technology. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Area” means anywhere in the United States, Bermuda and elsewhere in the world where the Protected Companies engage in business, including, without limitation, jurisdictions where any of the Protected Companies reasonably anticipate engaging in business on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship (provided that as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship, to the knowledge of the Participant, such area has been discussed as a market that the Protected Companies reasonably contemplate engaging in within the twelve (12) month period following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship). For purposes of this Agreement, “Competing Business” means a Person that at any time during the Participant’s period of service has competed, or any time during the twelve (12) month period following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship begins competing with the Protected Companies anywhere in the Restricted Area and in the business of (i) annuity reinsurance, focusing on contracts reinsuring a quota share of future premiums of various fixed annuity product lines, (ii) reinsuring closed blocks of existing business, (iii) managing investments held by ceding companies pursuant to funds withheld coinsurance contracts with its affiliates, (iv) managing investments in the life insurance industry, or (v) any significant business conducted by the Protected Companies as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship and any significant business the Protected Companies conduct in the twelve (12) month period after the Participant’s Termination of Relationship (provided that as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship, to the knowledge of the Participant, such business has been discussed as a business that the Protected Companies reasonably contemplate engaging in within such twelve (12) month period). For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Period” means the Participant’s period of service until his or her Termination of Relationship, and thereafter through and including (A) twelve (12) months following the Participant’s Termination of Relationship with respect to any Participant with a title of CEO, President or EVP at the time of the Termination of Relationship; (B) nine (9) months following the Participant’s Termination of

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

9

Relationship with respect to any Participant with a title of SVP at the time of the Termination of Relationship and (C) six (6) months following the Participant’s Termination of Relationship with respect to any Participant with a title of VP at the time of the Termination of Relationship.

Nothing herein shall prohibit the Participant from (i) being a passive owner of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as the Participant has no active participation in the business of such corporation, or (ii) providing services to a subsidiary, division or affiliate of a Competing Business if such subsidiary, division or affiliate is not itself engaged in a Competing Business and the Participant does not provide services to, or have any responsibilities regarding, the Competing Business.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Employees and Consultants. During the Participant’s period of service and for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship, the Participant shall not directly or indirectly through any other Person (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of the Protected Companies to leave the employ or service, as applicable, of the Protected Companies, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Protected Companies, on the one hand, and any employee or independent contractor thereof, on the other hand, or (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Protected Companies, in each case, until six (6) months after such individual’s employment relationship with the Protected Companies has been terminated.

(d) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Participant’s period of service and for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship, the Participant shall not directly or indirectly through any other Person influence or attempt to influence customers, vendors, suppliers, licensors, lessors, joint venturers, ceding companies, associates, consultants, agents, or partners of the Protected Companies to divert their business away from the Protected Companies, and the Participant will not otherwise interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the business relationships, contractual or otherwise, between the Protected Companies, on the one hand, and any of their customers, suppliers, vendors, lessors, licensors, joint venturers, associates, officers, employees, consultants, managers, partners, members or investors, on the other hand.

(e) Understanding of Covenants. The Participant represents and agrees that he or she (i) is familiar with and carefully considered the foregoing covenants set forth in this Section 7 (together, the “Restrictive Covenants”), (ii) is fully aware of his or her obligations hereunder, (iii) agrees to the reasonableness of the length of time, scope and geographic coverage, as applicable, of the Restrictive Covenants, (iv) agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are necessary to protect the Protected Companies’ confidential and proprietary information, good will, stable workforce and customer relations, and (v) agrees that the Restrictive Covenants will continue in effect for the applicable periods set forth above in this Section 7 regardless of whether the Participant is then entitled to receive severance pay or benefits from any of the Protected Companies. The Participant understands that the Restrictive Covenants may limit his or her ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Protected Companies, but he or she nevertheless believes that he or she has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of or other service provider to the Company and as otherwise provided hereunder to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any event (given his or her education, skills and ability), the Participant does not believe would prevent him or her from otherwise earning a living. The Participant agrees that the Restrictive Covenants do not confer a benefit upon the Protected Companies disproportionate to the detriment of the Participant.

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

(f) Enforcement. The Participant agrees that the Participant’s services are unique and that he or she has access to Confidential Information. Accordingly, the Participant agrees that a breach by the Participant of any of the covenants in this Section 7 would cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult or impossible to measure, and that damages to the Company for any such injury would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Therefore, the Participant agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 7, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies the Company may have under this Agreement, at law or otherwise, to obtain specific performance, injunctive relief and/or other appropriate relief (without posting any bond or deposit) in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Section 7, as the case may be, or require the Participant to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, moneys, accruals, increments or other benefits derived from or received as a result of any transactions constituting a breach of this Section 7, if and when final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction is so entered against the Participant. The Participant further agrees that the applicable period of time any Restrictive Covenant is in effect following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Relationship, as determined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, shall be extended by the same amount of time that the Participant is in breach of any Restrictive Covenant.

Section 8. Limitation on Benefits.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except as provided in Section 8(d), to the extent that any payment, benefit or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Participant by the Company or any of its Affiliates, whether paid or payable, provided or to be provided, or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, any accelerated vesting of stock options or other equity-based awards) (collectively, the “Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of the Total Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Participant shall have given prior written notice to the Company to effectuate a reduction in the Total Payments if such a reduction is required, any such notice consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest thereunder, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash severance benefits (with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of stock options or similar awards, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of restricted stock or similar awards, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Total Payments. This Section 8 shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Participant’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.

(b) Any determination that Total Payments to the Participant must be reduced or eliminated in accordance with Section 8(a) and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Board in the exercise of its reasonable, good faith discretion based upon the advice of such professional advisors it may deem appropriate in the circumstances. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Board hereunder, it is possible that Total Payments to the Participant which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”) or that Total Payments to the Participant which were made should not have been made (“Overpayment”). If an Underpayment has occurred, the amount of any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant. In the event of an Overpayment, then the Participant shall promptly repay to the Company the amount of any such Overpayment together with interest on such amount (at the same rate as is applied to determine the present value of payments under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto), from the date the reimbursable payment was received by the Participant to the date the same is repaid to the Company.

(c) If any portion of the Total Payments would otherwise be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (before giving effect to any reduction in Total Payments contemplated by Section 8(a)), the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain (in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations) the approval by such number of shareholders of the Company as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code so as to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code inapplicable to the Total Payments that would be reduced or eliminated by operation of Section 8(a) if such shareholder approval was not obtained.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 8(a), the Company will pay the full amount of the Total Payments to the Participant if the Participant makes the Company and its Affiliates whole on an after tax basis for any adverse tax consequences imposed on the Company and its Affiliates under Section 280G of the Code as a result of paying the Total Payments to the Participant.

Section 9. Participant’s Employment or Service.

Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the Asset Management Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Asset Management Company, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Participant’s employment or service or to increase or decrease the Participant’s compensation at any time.

Section 10. Delivery of Shares.

(a) Delivery of Certificates Upon Vesting and Settlement. Promptly after the date any RSUs become Vested RSUs pursuant to Section 4 and are settled in the form of Class A Common Shares, the Company shall issue such shares either (i) in certificate form, or (ii) in book entry form, registered in the name of the Participant with notations regarding any applicable restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement or otherwise. The Participant shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

12

assurances as the Company may deem necessary or reasonably desirable to ensure compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Class A Common Shares so delivered shall continue to be subject to the restrictions referred to in Section 6(c) and Section 6(d).

(b) [RESERVED].

(c) Share Legend Generally. The certificate(s) representing any Shares that may be issued in settlement of RSUs that become Vested RSUs shall bear the appropriate or required legends under applicable laws. Such legends shall remain on the certificate(s) representing such Shares until such date that counsel to the Company may reasonably determine is advisable to help ensure the Company’s compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Section 11. [RESERVED].

Section 13. Waiver of Breach.

The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Section 14. Participant’s Undertaking.

The Participant hereby agrees to take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents the Company may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on the Participant pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement and the Plan; provided, however, that such additional actions and documents are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 15. Modification of Rights.

The rights of the Participant are subject to modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan (with respect to the RSUs granted hereby).

Section 16. Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY.

Section 17. Arbitration.

Except for suits seeking injunctive relief or specific performance or as otherwise prohibited by law, the parties hereby agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, connected with and/or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the arbitrability of any controversy or claim relating hereto, will be finally settled by binding arbitration. The parties hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive any rights that they may have to a jury trial for any such disputes, controversies or claims. The parties agree to resolve any dispute arising out of this Agreement before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s then existing National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration

[M-4 Prime RSU (November 2016)]

14

shall be administered by the AAA and the hearing shall be conducted in the State of Delaware before a neutral arbitrator, who must have been admitted to the practice of law for at least the last ten years (the “Arbitrator”). Each party further agrees to pay its or his own arbitration costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses, unless otherwise required by the AAA’s then-existing arbitration rules. The Arbitrator shall issue an opinion within thirty (30) days of the final arbitration hearing and shall be authorized to award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, which decision of the Arbitrator will be final, conclusive, unappealable and binding on the parties. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential except that any arbitration award may be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction by either party for the purpose of enforcing the award.

Section 18. Withholding and Other Tax Issues.

The Company’s obligation to settle any Vested RSUs or deliver any certificates evidencing Shares is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant either pay (in cash or Shares) or provide for the amount of any such withholding obligations in such manner as may be authorized by the Committee under Article XV of the Plan. The Participant covenants and agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for any and all withholding taxes, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement of obligations related to any federal, state, local or other income, employment or other taxes with respect to the grant, vesting, settlement or other event with respect to the RSUs.

Section 19. Adjustment.

In the event of any event described in Article X of the Plan occurring after the Grant Date, the adjustment provisions as provided for under Article X of the Plan shall apply to the RSUs. If any adjustment is made to the RSUs pursuant to Article X of the Plan, the restrictions applicable to the RSUs will continue in effect with respect to any consideration or other securities (the “Restricted Property” and, for the purposes of this Agreement, “RSUs” shall include “Restricted Property,” unless the context otherwise requires) received in respect of such RSUs. Such Restricted Property shall vest at such times and in such proportion as the RSUs to which the Restricted Property is attributable vest, or would have vested pursuant to the terms hereof if such RSUs had remained outstanding.

Section 20. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

Section 22. Severability.

It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 23. Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding arising hereunder.
