(i)The Company agrees that, subject to satisfaction of the requirements set forth in the first sentence of Section 4.07(c), the SLA Purchaser shall have the right to nominate one (1) nominee at each meeting, or action by written consent, of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to which individuals will be elected members to “Class III” (or such other class as the Company and the SLA Purchaser shall agree) of the Board of Directors (or at each meeting, or action by written consent, of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to which individuals will be elected members of the Board of Directors if the Board of Directors is not classified). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SLA Purchaser shall not have a right to nominate any member to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4.07(a)(i) at any time following such time as the Silver Lake Group does not satisfy the Minimum Ownership Threshold Test. From and after such time that the SLA Purchaser does not satisfy the Minimum Ownership Threshold Test, the Board of Directors may provide written notice to the SLA Purchaser (with a copy to the SL Director) requesting that such SL Director tender his or her resignation from the Board of Directors, in which case, the SLA Purchaser will promptly cause the SL Director to tender his or her resignation from the Board of Directors.
(ii)Intentionally Omitted.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any Person in a transaction that would, when consummated, constitute a Change in Control (excluding for purposes of this Section 4.07(a)(iii), clauses (i) and (ii) of such definition), then, the SLA Purchaser’s rights to designate a Purchaser Designee under Sections 4.07(a)(i), and 4.07(e) shall forever terminate upon the consummation of such Change in Control.

28




​

as directors of the Company at each of the Company’s meetings of stockholders or action by written consent of stockholders pursuant to which directors of the applicable “Class” are to be elected (or at each meeting of stockholders or action by written consent of stockholders pursuant to which directors are to be elected if the Board of Directors is not classified) and use its reasonable efforts to cause the election of such Purchaser Designee to the Board of Directors. The Company will be required to use the same level of efforts and provide the same level of support as is used and/or provided for the other director nominees of the Company with respect to the applicable meeting of stockholders or action by written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, failure of the stockholders of the Company to elect any Purchaser Designee to the Board of Directors shall not affect the right of the Purchaser to nominate directors for election pursuant to this Section 4.07 in any future election of directors.
(c)Each Purchaser Designee nominated pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(i) must be a managing director of SLTM or other Silver Lake management entity or general partner selected by the SLA Purchaser.

The Company will make all information requests pursuant to this Section 4.07(c) in good faith in a timely manner that allows the SLA Purchaser and the Purchaser Designee a reasonable amount of time to provide such information, and will cooperate in good faith with the SLA Purchaser and the Purchaser Designee and their respective counsel in connection with their efforts to provide the requested information.
(d)For so long as a SL Person is serving or participating on the Board of Directors, (i) the Company shall not implement or maintain any trading policy, equity ownership guidelines (including with respect to the use of Rule 10b5-1 plans and preclearance or notification to the Company of any trades in the Company’s securities) or similar guideline or policy with respect to the trading of securities of the Company that applies to the SLA Purchaser or its Affiliates (including a policy that limits, prohibits, restricts SLA Purchaser or its Affiliates from entering into any hedging or derivative arrangements), in each case other than with respect to any SL Person solely in his or her individual capacity, except as provided herein, (ii) any share ownership requirement for any Purchaser Designee serving on the Board of Directors will be deemed satisfied by the securities owned by the SLA Purchaser and/or its Affiliates and under no circumstances shall any of such policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and 

29




​

guidelines impose any restrictions on the SLA Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ transfers of securities pursuant to Article V (except as otherwise provided therein with respect to Blackout Periods) and (iii) under no circumstances shall any policy, procedure, code, rule, standard or guideline applicable to the Board of Directors be violated by any Purchaser Designee (x) accepting an invitation to serve on another board of directors of a company whose principal lines(s) of business do not compete with the principal line(s) of business of the Company or failing to notify an officer or director of the Company prior to doing so, (y) receiving compensation from the SLA Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or (z) failing to offer his or her resignation from the Board of Directors except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or pursuant to any majority voting policy adopted by the Board of Directors, and, in each case of (i), (ii) and (iii), it is agreed that any such policies in effect from time to time that purport to impose terms inconsistent with this Section 4.07 shall not apply to the extent inconsistent with this Section 4.07 (but shall otherwise be applicable to the Purchaser Designee).
(e)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.07, and assuming continued satisfaction of the Minimum Ownership Threshold Test, if a vacancy on the Board of Directors is created as a result of a Purchaser Designee’s death, resignation, disqualification or removal or the failure of the stockholders of the Company to elect a Purchaser Designee to the Board of Directors, in each case for whatever reason, or if the SLA Purchaser desires to nominate a different individual to replace any then-existing Purchaser Designee, then, at the request of the SLA Purchaser, the SLA Purchaser and the Company (acting through the Board of Directors) shall work together in good faith to fill such vacancy or replace such nominee as promptly as reasonably practical with a replacement Purchaser Designee subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and thereafter such individual shall as promptly as reasonably practical be appointed to the Board of Directors to fill such vacancy and/or be nominated as a Company nominee as the “Purchaser Designee” pursuant to this Section 4.07 (as applicable). For so long as the Board of Directors is classified, such replacement Purchaser Designee shall be nominated to the same “Class” of directors as the prior Purchaser Designee, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the SLA Purchaser.
(f)For so long as the SLA Purchaser has the right to nominate a member of the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4.07, the SLA Purchaser shall have the right to designate one (1) observer (including any substitute observer designated by the Purchaser) (the “SL Observer”) who shall be entitled, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and applicable laws and governmental regulations, to attend (in person or telephonically) all meetings of the Board of Directors and any Committee thereof, in a non-voting observer capacity, and to receive copies of all notices, minutes, consents, agendas and other materials distributed to the Board of Directors and any Committee thereof; provided, however, if the Company believes in good faith that excluding any such materials (or portions thereof) from the SL Observer is necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege, such materials (or portions thereof) may be withheld from the SL Observer and the SL Observer may be excluded from any meeting or portion thereof related to such matters upon reasonable prior notice to the SL Observer (to the extent practicable); provided further, that in the event that the Board of Directors or any Committee, as applicable, determines to hold an executive session (an “Executive Session”), and the Board of Directors or Committee, as applicable, (acting reasonably and in good faith) determines that it would not be appropriate for the SL Observer to attend such Executive Session or any portion thereof, the SL Observer shall not have the right to 

30




​

attend, and shall recuse himself or herself from, such Executive Session or portion thereof to the extent requested by the Board of Directors. The SL Observer shall be a managing director or investment professional of SLTM or other Silver Lake management entity or general partner selected by the SLA Purchaser. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the SL Observer may participate in discussions of matters brought to the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof; provided, that the SL Observer shall have no voting rights with respect to actions taken or elected not to be taken by the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof and the SL Observer shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Company, its Subsidiaries or the holders of any class or series of Company securities. If the SL Observer is unable to attend any meeting of the Board of Directors or a Committee thereof, the SLA Purchaser shall have the right to designate a substitute SL Observer with written notice to the Board of Directors or such Committee. Any SL Observer shall be subject to the terms of the New Confidentiality Agreement.
(g)For so long as the SLA Purchaser is entitled to designate a Purchaser Designee who meets the Independence Requirements, each committee of the Board of Directors (each, a “Committee”) shall include as a member such Purchaser Designee who meets the Independence Requirements. As used herein, “Independence Requirements” shall mean any director and committee member independence requirements set forth pursuant to applicable law and the applicable rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company Common Stock is listed, including the independence requirements established by the SEC, it being understood that, except as provided in any such requirements, the relationship of any Purchaser Designee or any other individual with the Silver Lake Group will not, by itself, prevent such Purchaser Designee or such individual from satisfying the Independence Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors shall establish a Committee to consider (i) a proposed contract, transaction or other arrangement between the SLA Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, or (ii) the enforcement or waiver of the rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any agreement between the SLA Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, then the Purchaser Designee (and the SL Observer) may be excluded from participation in such Committee (and any portion of a Board of Directors meeting at which such matters may be discussed by the full Board of Directors upon notice to the Purchaser Designee and the SL Observer).
(h)To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and subject to applicable legal requirements and any express agreement that may from time to time be in effect, the Company agrees that any Purchaser Designee, SL Person, Silver Lake Group and any SL Affiliate or any portfolio company thereof (collectively, “Covered Persons”) may, and shall have no duty not to, (i) invest in, carry on and conduct, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, equityholder or investor in any person, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Company or its Affiliates, and/or (iii) make investments in any kind of property in which the Company may make investments. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy to participate in any business or investments of any Covered Person as currently conducted or as may be conducted in the future, and waives any claim against a 

31




​

Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of such person’s participation in any such business or investment. The Company shall pay in advance any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision. Except as set forth below, the Company agrees that in the event that a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (x) the Covered Person and (y) the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company or its Subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any potential transaction or matter of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge, except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing stating that such offer is intended solely for such Covered Person in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors, and waives any claim against each Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person to the extent permitted by the DGCL against any claim, that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Covered Person (A) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any Affiliate or other person, (B) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company; provided, that, in each such case, any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing stating that such offer is intended solely for such Covered Person in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors shall belong to the Company. The Company shall pay in advance any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision, except to the extent that it is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a Delaware court having competent jurisdiction (or any other judgment which is not appealed in the applicable time) that (i) a Covered Person has breached this Section 4.07(h) or (ii) an SL Director has breached its fiduciary duties to the Company, in which case any such advanced expenses shall be promptly reimbursed to the Company.
(i)For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting any other rights of the Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Agreement, each SL Director shall be entitled to receive Board fees and compensation and expense reimbursement according to the Company’s standard policies with respect to service on the Board of Directors or any Committee; provided, that if any such compensation shall be in the form of grants of awards of Company Common Stock or securities settled into, convertible into or exchangeable for Company Common Stock or any other securities of the Company, then such awards may be denominated with reference to such securities but such awards shall in all cases be settled in cash.
(j)For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary, transferees of the Notes and/or the shares of Company Common Stock (other than Affiliates of the SLA Purchaser who sign a Joinder) shall not have any rights pursuant to this Section 4.07.

under this Agreement the SLA Purchaser shall not be entitled to use the statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement against the Company.
(c)The Company’s obligation to deliver an Issuer Agreement in connection with a Permitted Transaction is conditioned on (x) the SLA Purchaser delivering to the Company a copy of the agreement for such Permitted Transaction and (y) the SLA Purchaser certifying to the Company in writing (A) that the counterparty to such Permitted Transaction is a bank or broker-dealer that is engaged in the business of financing debt securities (in the case of the Note) or stock (in the case of the Class A Common Stock) or similar instruments, (B) that the execution of such Permitted Transaction and the terms thereof do not violate the terms of this Agreement, (C) to the extent applicable, whether the registration rights under Article V are being assigned to the counterparty under that Permitted Transaction, (D) that an event of default (which shall be only credit events of the SLA Purchaser and/or its controlled Affiliate and other events of default customary in margin lending and liquidity or debt leverage facilities) by the SLA Purchaser or its controlled Affiliate, or industry standard termination events, including but not limited to illegality, changes in tax law and force majeure constitute the only circumstances under which the counterparty or counterparties under the Permitted Transaction may exercise rights and remedies to transfer to itself or sell, the Notes and/or the underlying shares of Class A Common Stock purchased from SLA Purchaser (or its controlled Affiliate) or held as a hedge.
(d)Upon request by the SLA Purchaser, the Company shall consider in good faith any amendments to this Agreement, the Indenture or the Notes proposed by the SLA Purchaser necessary to facilitate the consummation of a Permitted Loan transaction or Permitted Transaction, and the Company shall consent to any such amendment that is not adverse in any respect to the interests of the Company (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion upon the authorization of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors), it being acknowledged that the registration of the Notes for resale by the Target Registration Date is not adverse to the interests of the Company.

To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Section 4.15.Par Value.  While the Purchaser owns any Notes, the Company will not, without the consent of the Purchaser, increase the par value per share of the Class A Common Stock to above $0.01 per share.
Section 4.16.Participation Rights.  
(a)During the period beginning on September 14, 2020 and ending on September 14, 2021, whenever the Company or any of its Subsidiaries proposes to issue, directly or indirectly, any Additional Securities that are not Excluded Securities (such proposed issuance, an “Additional Investment”), the Company will consult with the SLA Purchaser reasonably in advance of undertaking such issuance and, if and only if the SLA Purchaser notifies the Company within five (5) Business Days following such consultation of its preliminary interest in receiving an offer to participate in such issuance (which indication shall not be binding upon the SLA Purchaser), the Company will provide written notice of such proposed issuance to the SLA Purchaser (an “Offer Notice”) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed date of the purchase agreement, investment agreement or other agreement (the “Additional Investment Agreement”). Each Offer Notice shall include the applicable purchase price per security for such Additional Investment, the aggregate amount of the proposed Additional Investment and the other material terms and conditions of such Additional Investment, including the proposed closing date. The Offer Notice shall constitute the Company’s offer to the SLA Purchaser to issue a portion of such additional securities (the “Offered Additional Investment”) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be issued in the Additional Investment (calculated on an as-converted basis, if applicable), multiplied by (ii) the Participation Percentage, substantially on the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice, which offer shall be irrevocable for five (5) Business Days following the date the Offer Notice is received by the SLA Purchaser (the “Participation Notice Period”). The SLA Purchaser may elect to purchase up to all of the Offered Additional Investment on the terms proposed. If the SLA Purchaser elects to purchase all or a portion of such Offered Additional Investment 

36




​

specified in the Offer Notice, the SLA Purchaser shall (i) deliver to the Company during the Participation Notice Period a written notice stating the aggregate amount of the proposed Offered Additional Investment (the “Participation Notice”) and (ii) enter into an Additional Investment Agreement simultaneously with the other purchasers of the Additional Securities on the terms and at the price set forth in the Offer Notice. If the SLA Purchaser does not deliver a Participation Notice during the Participation Notice Period (or if, prior to the expiration of the Participation Notice Period, the SLA Purchaser delivers to the Company a written notice declining to participate in the Additional Investment specified in the Offer Notice), the SLA Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to participate in such Additional Investment under this Section 4.16 and the Company shall thereafter be free to issue during the sixty (60) Business Day period following the expiration of the Participation Notice Period (or the receipt by the Company of a written notice from the SLA Purchaser declining to participate in such Additional Investment) such proposed Additional Investment to one or more Third Parties on terms and conditions no more favorable to any such Third Party than those set forth in the Offer Notice, unless otherwise agreed by the SLA Purchaser and the Company. Any obligation of the Company and the SLA Purchaser to participate in any Additional Investment shall in all cases be conditioned on applicable antitrust clearance or approval under antitrust or other applicable law, and the closing date for such Additional Investment shall not occur until the later of (x) at least two (2) Business Days after the SLA Purchaser’s receipt of such clearance or approval or the SLA Purchaser’s waiver of such conditions and (y) at least eleven (11) Business Days after the Company and the SLA Purchaser enter into the Additional Investment Agreement in respect of such Additional Investment, in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) unless otherwise agreed by the SLA Purchaser and the Company. The SLA Purchaser may from time to time assign (in whole or in part) and designate one or more of its Affiliates and/or the Sargas Purchaser and its Affiliates through which the participation right in this Section 4.16(a) may be exercised; provided, that, with respect to any Offered Additional Investment, any such co-investors and/or their respective Affiliates may only be assigned, and may only exercise, such participation right with respect to a portion of the applicable Offered Additional Investment that is no greater than such co-investor’s and its Affiliates’ pro rata share (measured as the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes) held by such co-investor and its Affiliates relative to the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes) then-outstanding, in each case, as of the time of determination). The issuance of “Additional Securities” means the issuance of any equity security, or instrument convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the granting of any option, warrant, commitment or right by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any of the foregoing. The issuance of “Excluded Securities” means any issuance of (i) Additional Securities as initial and/or deferred consideration to the selling Persons in an acquisition or business combination transaction by the Company or its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether structured as a merger, consolidation, asset or stock purchase, or other similar transaction), (ii) Additional Securities to a third party financial institution in connection with a bona fide borrowing by the Company or its Subsidiaries, (iii) Additional Securities to the Company’s directors, employees, advisors or consultants (including as a result of the exercise of any option to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Company Common Stock or upon the vesting or delivery of any award of restricted stock units (including performance-based restricted stock units) that corresponds to Company Common 

37




​

Stock and/or an option to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Company Common Stock), (iv) Additional Securities by a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or another wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, (v) Additional Securities to existing stockholders of the Company in connection with any stock split, stock combination, stock dividend, distribution or recapitalization, (vi) Additional Securities in connection with a bona fide strategic partnership or commercial arrangement with a non-affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than (x) with a private equity firm or similar financial institution or (y) an issuance whose primary purpose is the provision of financing, and (vii) Additional Securities pursuant to an Underwritten Offering; provided, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (1) the Company shall consult with the SLA Purchaser, in the case of an Underwritten Offering that is not a Marketed Underwritten Offering, at least three (3) Business Days prior, or, in the case of a Marketed Underwritten Offering, as soon as practicable but in any event at least five (5) Business Days prior, to the anticipated commencement of the applicable Underwritten Offering and (2) in the event that the SLA Purchaser notifies the Company of its intent to participate in such Underwritten Offering, such Additional Securities shall not be deemed to be Excluded Securities and the Company shall either (x) offer the SLA Purchaser the ability to purchase up to its Participation Percentage of the Additional Securities in a concurrent private placement transaction on the same terms and at the same price to the public as in the Underwritten Offering or (y) if the SLA Purchaser agrees in writing, direct the underwriters of the Underwritten Offering to permit the SLA Purchaser to participate in the Underwritten Offering for up to its Participation Percentage of the Additional Securities on the same terms and at the same price to the public as in the Underwritten Offering. If the SLA Purchaser elects to purchase the Additional Securities pursuant to this Section 4.16, the SLA Purchaser, at the SLA Purchaser’s expense, shall make any filings required in connection with such participation under antitrust or other applicable law promptly following the delivery to the Company of the corresponding Participation Notice and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain applicable antitrust clearance and/or approval under antitrust or other applicable laws.
(b)Following the time, if applicable, that the Company becomes the ROFR Purchaser under the ROFR Agreement (capitalized terms used in this Section 4.16(b) that are not defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the ROFR Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, the term “Subject Securities” as used in this Section 4.16(b) shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the ROFR Agreement)):
(i)If the Company is informed by any Specified Holder that pursuant to the ROFR Agreement such Specified Holder is considering or proposing to deliver a Transfer Notice with respect to a Transfer of any Subject Securities (a “Preliminary Notice”), the Company shall notify the SLA Purchaser of such Preliminary Notice by no later than the following Business Day. Within four (4) Business Days of receipt of the Preliminary Notice, the SLA Purchaser shall inform the Company of whether it has a preliminary interest in receiving an offer to purchase from the Company a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal in number to the Subject Securities to be included in such Transfer (which indication shall not be binding upon the SLA Purchaser).
(ii)If the Company receives a Transfer Notice from a Specified Holder pursuant to the ROFR Agreement, and the SLA Purchaser has indicated its 

38




​

preliminary interest to receive an offer to purchase the Offered Securities pursuant to clause b(i) above, the Company will so notify the SLA Purchaser and provide the Purchaser with a copy of such Transfer Notice, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Transfer Notice. The SLA Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal in number to the Subject Securities covered by the Transfer Notice (the “Offered Securities”), in cash in U.S. dollars at the same price and on the same material terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice, but subject to the Company’s purchase of such Subject Securities pursuant to the ROFR Agreement and the receipt of any applicable governmental approvals and consents. To exercise such right under this Section 4.16(b), the SLA Purchaser must deliver an election notice to the Company within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the SLA Purchaser of the copy of the Transfer Notice. If the Purchaser does not provide the Company an election notice electing to purchase the Offered Securities within such time period, then the SLA Purchaser shall be deemed to have forfeited its rights under this Section 4.16(b). If the SLA Purchaser delivers an election notice, it shall constitute a binding commitment of the SLA Purchaser to purchase the Offered Securities from the Company, which shall be conditional upon the consummation of the purchase of the related Subject Securities from the Specified Holder by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the ROFR Agreement, and in the event that such purchase of the related Subject Securities from the Specified Holder by the Company or its permitted assignees is not consummated within the applicable time periods contemplated and required by Sections 2.1 or 2.2, as applicable, of the ROFR Agreement, or upon the date that is three (3) months from the delivery of the Preliminary Notice in accordance herewith, whichever is earlier, then the SLA Purchaser shall automatically be released from such obligation and commitment and have no liability in respect therefor.
(iii)If the SLA Purchaser delivers its election notice to the Company to purchase the Offered Securities, and if the Company purchases the related Subject Securities pursuant to the ROFR Agreement, then the Company will sell, and the Purchaser will purchase, the Offered Securities pursuant to a purchase agreement containing customary terms and conditions and consummate such transaction within three (3) Business Days after all required governmental approvals or clearances are obtained, but in no event earlier than fifteen (15) Business Days following the Company’s purchase of the related Subject Securities pursuant to the ROFR Agreement.

(c)The Company shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the applicable Indemnitee(s) within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable Indemnification Notice, to select counsel to defend and control the defense of any third party claim set forth in such Indemnification Notice; provided, that the Company shall not be entitled to so select counsel or control the defense of any claim if (i) such claim seeks primarily non-monetary or injunctive relief against the Indemnitee or alleges any violation of criminal law, (ii) the Company does not, subsequent to its assumption of such defense in accordance with this clause (c), conduct the defense of such claim actively and diligently, (iii) such claim includes as the named parties both the Company and the applicable Indemnitee(s) and such Indemnitees reasonably determine upon the advice of counsel that representation of all such Indemnitees by the same counsel would be prohibited by applicable codes of professional conduct, or (iv) in the event that, based on the reasonable advice of counsel for the applicable Indemnitee(s), there are one or more material defenses available to the applicable Indemnitee(s) that are not available to the Company. If the Company does not assume the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this clause (c), the applicable Indemnitee(s) may continue to defend such claim at the sole cost of the Company and the Company may still participate in, but not control, the defense of such third party claim at the Company’s sole cost and expense. In no event shall the Company, in connection with any Action or separate but substantially similar Actions arising out of the same 

44




​

general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnitees chosen by the Silver Lake Group, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend such Action or Actions, as the case may be.
(d)No Indemnitee shall consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any claim for which such Indemnitee is indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.22, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitee(s), the Company, in the defense of any such claim, shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting any Indemnitee, (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnitee(s) of an unconditional release of such Indemnitee(s) from all liability with respect to such Action or (iii) includes any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. In any such third party claim where the Company has assumed control of the defense thereof pursuant to clause (c), the Company shall keep the applicable Indemnitee(s) informed as to the status of such claim at all stages thereof (including all settlement negotiations and offers), promptly submit to such Indemnitee(s) copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and paper received or filed in connection therewith, permit such Indemnitee(s) and their respective counsels to confer with the Company and its counsel with respect to the conduct of the defense thereof, and permit such Indemnitee(s) and their respective counsel(s) a reasonable opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission.
Section 4.23.Certain Amendments.  The Company shall not amend, restate, modify, waive or supplement Article III and/or Section 6.4 of the Wanda Repurchase Agreement without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall not amend, restate, modify, waive or supplement the Wanda Registration Rights Agreement (including the Wanda Piggyback Amendment) or the Management Stockholders Agreement (including the Management Piggyback Waiver), in each case, in a manner adverse to the holders of Registrable Securities in respect of such holders’ rights under Article V.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 5.01.Registration Statement.
(a)The Company will use reasonable efforts to prepare and file and use reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective or otherwise become effective pursuant to the Securities Act no later than the date that is three (3) months following the Closing Date (such date, the “Target Registration Date”), a Registration Statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) in order to provide for resales of Registrable Securities to be made on a delayed or 

45




​

continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which Registration Statement will (except to the extent the SEC objects in written comments upon the SEC’s review of such Registration Statement) include the Plan of Distribution. In addition, the Company will from time to time after the Initial Registration Statement has been declared effective use reasonable efforts to file such additional Registration Statements to cover resales of any Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Silver Lake Group that are not registered for resale pursuant to a pre-existing Registration Statement and will use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective or otherwise to become effective under the Securities Act and, subject to Section 5.02, will use its reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the Registration Termination Date. Any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Article V shall be on Form S-3 (or a successor form) if the Company is eligible to use such form and shall be an automatically effective Registration Statement if the Company is a WKSI (in which case, the Registration Statement may request registration of an unspecified amount of Registrable Securities to be sold by unspecified holders).
(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 5.02 and further subject to the availability of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) to the Company pursuant to the Securities Act and the rules and interpretations of the SEC, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement (or any replacement Registration Statement) continuously effective until the earlier of (such earlier date, the “Registration Termination Date”): (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement and (ii) there otherwise cease to be any Registrable Securities.
(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during such period of time from and after the Target Registration Date that the Company ceases to be eligible to file or use a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto), upon the written request of any holder or holders of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act covering the Registrable Securities of the requesting party and use reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective pursuant to the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after filing thereof and file and cause to become effective such amendments thereto as are necessary in order to keep such Registration Statement continuously available. Each such written request must specify the amount and intended manner of disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided, that the minimum amount of such Registrable Securities shall be $75,000,000 or the remaining Registrable Securities held by such holder of Registrable Securities. When the Company regains the ability to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities it shall as promptly as practicably do so in accordance with Section 5.01(a).
Section 5.02.Registration Limitations and Obligations.
(a)Subject to Section 5.01, the Company will use reasonable efforts to prepare such supplements or amendments (including a post-effective amendment), if required by applicable law, to each applicable Registration Statement and file any other required document 

46




​

so that such Registration Statement will be Available at all times during the period for which such Registration Statement is, or is required pursuant to this Agreement to be, effective; provided, that no such supplement, amendment or filing will be required during a Blackout Period. In order to facilitate the Company’s determination of whether to initiate a Blackout Period, the Purchaser shall give the Company notice of a proposed sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement at least two (2) Business Days (or, if two (2) Business Days is not practicable, one (1) Business Day) prior to the proposed date of sale (which notice shall not bind the Purchaser to make any sale).
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities, to require such holders of Registrable Securities to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement during any Blackout Period; provided, for purposes of this Section 5.02, the Company shall only be obligated to provide written notice to any holder or Beneficial Owner of Registrable Securities of any such Blackout Period, or the certificate described in the following sentence, if such holder or Beneficial Owner has specified in writing (including electronic mail) to the Company for purposes of receiving such notice such holder’s or Beneficial Owner’s address (including electronic mail), contact and fax number information. No sales may be made under the applicable Registration Statement during any Blackout Period. In the event of a Blackout Period, the Company shall (x) deliver to the holders of Registrable Securities a certificate signed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or general counsel of the Company confirming that the conditions described in the definition of Blackout Period are met (but which certificate need not specify the nature of the event causing such conditions to have been met), which certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay, and (y) notify each holder of Registrable Securities promptly upon each of the commencement and the termination of each Blackout Period, which notice of termination shall be delivered to each holder of Registrable Securities no later than the close of business of the last day of the Blackout Period. In connection with the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company to the extent necessary and as required by applicable law shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare supplements or amendments, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that the Registration Statement will be Available. A Blackout Period shall be deemed to have expired when the Company has notified the holders of Registrable Securities that the Blackout Period is over and the Registration Statement is Available. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the absence of an Available Registration Statement at any time from and after the Target Registration Date shall be considered a Blackout Period and subject to the limitations therein.
(c)Any holder or holders of Registrable Securities that propose to be an Initiating Holder (as defined below) for a firm commitment Underwritten Offering of Class A Common Stock that is to be consummated prior to the Piggyback Termination Date shall deliver a notice to each Piggyback Holder (a “Piggyback Notice”), which Piggyback Notice shall request that each such Piggyback Holder notify such proposed Initiating Holder (x) whether such Piggyback Holder wishes to participate in such Underwritten Offering and (y) if so, how many Piggyback Shares such Piggyback Holder proposes to sell in such Underwritten Offering. The 

47




​

Initiating Holder shall seek to include the requested amount of Piggyback Shares with respect to which the Initiating Holder has received from a Piggyback Holder written requests for inclusion therein within (i) in the case of an Underwritten Offering that is not a Marketed Underwritten Offering, one (1) Business Day after the date of the Piggyback Notice and (ii) in the case of a Marketed Underwritten Offering, three (3) Business Days after the date of the Piggyback Notice. At any time that a Registration Statement is effective and prior to the Registration Termination Date, if a holder or holders of Registrable Securities (collectively, an “Initiating Holder”) delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it or they intend to sell at least $75,000,000 of Registrable Securities in the aggregate held by such holder or holders (provided, that if a Purchaser and its Affiliates do not own at least $75,000,000 of Registrable Securities, they shall be permitted to deliver a Take-Down Notice to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by them), in each case, pursuant to the Registration Statement, then, the Company shall (i) amend or supplement the Registration Statement as may be necessary and to the extent required by law so that the Registration Statement remains Available in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed in an Underwritten Offering (subject to Section 5.02(b)) and (ii) (x) within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the Take-Down Notice and confirmation of such receipt by the treasurer or chief financial officer of the Company and by counsel to the Company, deliver a written notice (a “Take-Down Participation Notice”) of any such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities (the “Eligible Participation Holders”), which Take-Down Participation Notice shall offer each such holder or holders the opportunity to include in such registration that number of Registrable Securities to be offered by the Initiating Holder as each such holder (a “Participating Holder”) may request. The Company shall include in such registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received from a holder entitled to receive a Take-Down Participation Notice pursuant to the preceding sentence written requests for inclusion therein within (i) in the case of an Underwritten Offering that is not a Marketed Underwritten Offering, one (1) Business Day after the date the Take-Down Participation Notice was delivered and confirmed received by the treasurer or chief financial officer of the Company and by counsel to the Company and (ii) in the case of a Marketed Underwritten Offering, three (3) Business Days after the date the Take-Down Participation Notice was delivered; provided, that each Selling Holder will retain the right to withdraw their Registrable Securities from such registration in writing to the underwriters prior to the pricing of the applicable offering. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities for which a holder or holders deliver a Take-Down Notice and satisfy the dollar thresholds set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(c) and the Take-Down Notice contemplates a Marketed Underwritten Offering, the Company will use reasonable efforts to cooperate and make its senior officers available for participation in such marketing efforts (which marketing efforts will not, for the avoidance of doubt, include a “road show” requiring such officers to travel outside of the city in which they are primarily located). A Majority in Interest of Initiating Holders shall have the right hereunder to, in their sole discretion: (i) select the underwriter(s) for each Underwritten Offering, (ii) determine the pricing of the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to any such Registration Statement, including the underwriting discount and fees payable by the Selling Holders to the underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, as well as any other financial terms, (iii) determine the timing of any such registration and sale and (iv) determine the total number of Registrable Securities that can be included in such Underwritten Offering in consultation with the managing underwriters (collectively, the “Offering Terms”); provided, that the Initiating Holder shall consult with each other Participating Holder (other than 

48




​

any Participating Holder that is not a member of the Silver Lake Group) in respect of the Offering Terms. Each Selling Holder shall be solely responsible for all such discounts and fees payable to such underwriters in such Underwritten Offering for the Registrable Securities sold by such Selling Holder. Without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Initiating Holders, no Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Agreement shall include any securities other than Registrable Securities of the type (i.e., Notes or Company Common Stock) offered by the Initiating Holder in such Underwritten Offering.
(d)If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any firm commitment Underwritten Offering advise the Selling Holders in writing that, in their view, the total amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering (including, without limitation, Registrable Securities proposed to be included by any Participating Holder and any Piggyback Shares proposed to be included by any Piggyback Holder exceeds the largest amount (the “Orderly Sale Amount”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such Underwritten Offering within a price range acceptable to the Majority in Interest of Selling Holders, then there shall be included in such firm commitment Underwritten Offering an amount of Registrable Securities and Piggyback Shares not exceeding the Orderly Sale Amount, and such included amount of Registrable Securities and Piggyback Shares shall be allocated in the following order of priority (A) first, the Registrable Securities proposed to be included by the Selling Holders pro rata among the Selling Holders on the basis of the number and type of Subject Securities then proposed to be sold by the respective Selling Holders and (B) second, solely to the extent that shares of Company Common Stock are proposed to be included by the Piggyback Holders for an Underwritten Offering that is to be consummated prior to the Piggyback Termination Date, shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included by the holders of Piggyback Rights pro rata among the holders of Piggyback Rights on the basis of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be sold by the respective holders of Piggyback Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the amount of Piggyback Shares sold in any “block trade” or other Underwritten Offering that is not a Marketed Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to this Article V shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities in such offering.
(e)If requested by the managing underwriter of an Underwritten Offering but solely for which a member of the Silver Lake Group is the Initiating Holder, unless such Initiating Holder otherwise agrees, no Eligible Participation Holder or Initiating Holder shall offer for sale (including by short sale), grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise transfer (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement, derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of the Registrable Securities or otherwise), any Notes or Company Common Stock (or interests therein) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Notes or Company Common Stock without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter for a period designated by such managing underwriter in writing to the Eligible Participation Holders and the Initiating Holder, which shall begin the earlier of the date of the underwriting agreement and the commencement of marketing efforts, and shall not in any event last longer than sixty (60) days following such effective date. If requested by the managing underwriter of any such Underwritten Offering, each Eligible Participation Holder shall execute a separate agreement to the foregoing effect; provided, that each Eligible Participation Holder shall negotiate its 

49




​

respective lock-up agreement; provided, further, that if any such lock-up agreement (i) provides for exceptions from any restrictions contained therein, such exceptions shall automatically apply equally to each Selling Holder or (ii) is terminated or waived in whole or in part for any Selling Holder, such termination or waiver shall automatically apply to each other Selling Holder. Each lock-up agreement shall permit, and this Section 5.02(e) shall be deemed to permit, transfers pursuant to the terms of Permitted Loans, Permitted Transactions and other customary lock-up exceptions, including for gifts, distributions and other transfers not for value (and including in respect of customary charitable donations substantially contemporaneously with distribution to the donor, free of further lock-up agreement transfer restrictions by the donee, by a Selling Holder or its direct or indirect distributees). The obligations of any person under this Section 5.02(e) are not in limitation of lock-up or transfer restrictions that may otherwise apply to any Registrable Securities.
(f)In addition to the registration rights provided in Section 5.02(c), holders of the Notes shall have analogous rights to sell such securities in a marketed offering under Rule 144A under the Securities Act through one or more initial purchasers on a firm-commitment basis, using procedures that are substantially equivalent to those specified in Section 5.02 and Section 5.03. The Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cooperate to effect any such sales under such Rule 144A. Nothing in this Section 5.02(f) shall impose any additional or more burdensome obligations on the Company than would apply under Section 5.02 and Section 5.03, in each case, mutatis mutandis in respect of a registered Underwritten Offering, or require that the Company take any actions that it would not be required to take in an Underwritten Offering of such Notes.
(g)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if holders of Registrable Securities engage or propose to engage in a “distribution” (as defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) of Registrable Securities, such holders shall discuss the timing of such distribution with the Company reasonably prior to commencing such distribution, and (ii) such distribution must not be for less than $75,000,000 of Registrable Securities held by such holders (provided, that, if collectively Purchaser and its Affiliates do not own at least $75,000,000 of Registrable Securities, they shall be permitted to engage in such distribution with respect to all of the Registrable Securities held by them).
(h)In connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities in which a holder or holders of Registrable Securities are selling at least $75,000,000 of Registrable Securities, the Company shall, to the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s) of such a distribution, be subject to a restricted period of the same length of time as such holder agrees with the managing underwriter(s) (but not to exceed sixty (60) days) during which the Company may not offer, sell or grant any option to purchase Company Common Stock (in the case of an offering of Company Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for Company Common Stock) and any debt securities (in the case of an offering of debt securities) of the Company, subject to customary carve-outs that include, but are not limited to, (i) issuances pursuant to the Company’s employee or director stock plans and issuances of shares upon the exercise of options or other equity awards under such stock plans and (ii) in connection with acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions.

(a)The Company agrees, without limitation as to time, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling Holder or such other Indemnified Person (as defined below) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents of each such controlling Person (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, in each case related to such Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 5.05(a)) will reimburse each such Selling Holder, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents and each such Person who controls each such Selling Holder and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents of each such controlling Person, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by any information regarding a holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by any such person or any selling holder or underwriter expressly for use therein.
(b)In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Selling Holder is participating, without limitation as to time, each such Selling Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 5.05(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers 

55




​

and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding the Selling Holder furnished to the Company by such Selling Holder in writing for inclusion in such Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.
(c)Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.
(d)In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, the indemnified party shall promptly notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or a conflict of interest otherwise exists or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (z) is settled solely for cash for which 

56




​

the indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure of an indemnified party to give notice to an indemnifying party of any action brought against such indemnified party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such failure adversely prejudices the indemnifying party.
(e)The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the sale or other transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.
(f)If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to indemnify or contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of its net proceeds from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to any actions or proceedings over the amount of any damages, indemnity or contribution that such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(g)The indemnification and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5.05 are in addition to any liability that the indemnifying party may have to the indemnified party and do not limit other provisions of this Agreement that provide for indemnification.
Section 5.06.Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144.  For as long as the Purchaser or its Affiliates, or any financial institution pursuant to a Permitted Transaction or any Lender under any Permitted Loan Beneficially Owns Notes or any Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion thereof, to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and submit all required Interactive Data Files (as defined in Rule 11 of Regulation S-T of the SEC), and shall use reasonable efforts 

57




​

to take such further necessary action as any holder of Subject Securities may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any restrictive legend on the Subject Securities being sold, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell the Subject Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

This Agreement (including all Exhibits and Annexes hereto), together with the agreements contemplated herein, including the New Confidentiality Agreement, set forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Transactions, and is not intended to and shall not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder, provided, that (i) Section 4.07(h) shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Covered Persons, (ii) Section 4.12 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Section 4.12 Persons and the Silver Lake Indemnitors, (iii) Section 4.22 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Indemnitees, (iv) Section 5.05 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Indemnified Persons and (v) Section 6.12 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Specified Persons.

No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

​

Section 6.04.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute any original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.
Section 6.05.Public Announcements.  No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be issued or made by the Purchaser or its Affiliates without the prior written approval of the Company, unless required by law (based on the advice of counsel) in which case the Company shall have the right to review and reasonably comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or publication. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to the terms of the New Confidentiality Agreement), the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be restricted from communicating with their respective investors and potential investors in connection with marketing, informational or reporting activities; provided, that the recipient of such information is subject to a customary obligation to keep such information confidential. The Company may issue or make one or more press releases or public announcements (in which case the Purchaser shall have the right to review and reasonably comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or publication) and may file this Agreement with the SEC and may provide information about the subject matter of this Agreement in connection with equity or debt issuances, share repurchases, or marketing, informational or reporting activities.
Section 6.06.Expenses.  The Company will reimburse the Purchaser for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third-party expenses, including for one legal counsel, incurred in connection with the Transactions on the Closing Date and subject to the occurrence of, the initial purchase of the Notes on the Closing Date.
Section 6.07.Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company’s successors and assigns and Purchaser’s successors and assigns, and no other person; provided, that neither the Company nor the Purchaser may assign its respective rights or delegate its respective obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and any assignment by the Company or the Purchaser in contravention hereof shall be null and void; provided, that (i) substantially contemporaneously with or at the Closing the Purchaser may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any portion thereof to one or more Affiliates who execute and deliver a Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, and such Affiliate shall have all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser or any portion thereof (as set forth in such Joinder); provided, that no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, (ii) any Affiliate of the Purchaser who after the Closing Date executes and delivers a Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 and is a permitted transferee of any Notes or shares of Company Common Stock shall have all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser or any portion thereof (as set forth in such Joinder); provided, that no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, (iii) if the Company consolidates or merges with or into any Person and the Company Common Stock is, in whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for securities of a different issuer, then as a 

60




​

condition to such transaction the Company will cause such issuer to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in a written instrument delivered to the Purchaser, and (iv) the rights and obligations of a holder of Registrable Securities under Article V may be transferred and assigned but only together with Subject Securities (a) in connection with a transfer of (1) Notes in an aggregate principal amount of at least $75,000,000 or (2) Class A Common Stock or other Subject Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of at least $75,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes; provided, that such transferee executes and delivers a Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3 or (b) (x) to an Affiliate of the transferor that executes and delivers an applicable Joinder or (y) to a lender in connection with a Permitted Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, no Third Party to whom any of the Notes or shares of Company Common Stock are transferred shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement except (and then only to the extent of) any rights and obligations under Article V to the extent transferable in accordance with this Section 6.07. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser may without the consent of any other party grant powers of attorney, operative only upon an event of default of the Company in respect of its obligation under Article II to issue the Notes upon surrender and cancellation of the Company’s 2.95% Convertible Notes due 2024 in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to any lenders, administrative agent or collateral agent under any Permitted Loan or to any financial institution in connection with a Permitted Transaction, in each case to act on behalf of the Purchaser to enforce such obligation.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Third Party to whom any of the Notes are transferred shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent transferable in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 6.08.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a)This Agreement shall 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 application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, solely if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 6.08(a), (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process 

61




​

commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 6.02 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b)EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 6.08.
Section 6.09.Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided that the economic and legal substance of, any of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. In the event of any such determination, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intent and purpose hereof. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
Section 6.10.Specific Performance.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, whether in law or equity) to obtain (i) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
Section 6.11.Headings.  The headings of Articles and Sections contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.
Section 6.12.Non-Recourse.

62




​

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser’s liability for any liability, loss, damage or recovery of any kind (including special, exemplary, consequential, indirect or punitive damages or damages arising from loss of profits, business opportunities or goodwill, diminution in value or any other losses or damages, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising under or in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith shall be no greater than an amount equal to $600,000,000 and the Purchaser shall have no further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the Transactions in excess of such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s rights under Section 6.10.
(b)This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action, claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any Person that executes and delivers a Joinder). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partners (general or limited), stockholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of any party hereto, or any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partners (general or limited), stockholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of the foregoing (collectively, the “Specified Persons”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

(the “Issuer”) in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (including any agent acting therefor, the “Lender”) (such letter agreement, the “Original Issuer Agreement”) and (y) the Margin Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 31, 2019 (the “MLSA”) between SLA CM Avatar Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the other borrowers thereunder (collectively with the Borrower, the “Borrowers”) and the Lender (as amended and supplemented from time to time, and together with any security agreement executed in connection therewith, the “Margin Loan Agreement”). Whereas the Original Issuer Agreement was entered into with respect to those certain 2.95% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Original Notes”) of the Issuer, owned by the Borrower and pledged under the MLSA, and whereas the Issuer has agreed to issue, and the Borrower has agreed to accept, in exchange for the Original Notes, 2.95% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Indenture, dated July 31, 2020 (the “Indenture”) between the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as collateral agent.  Therefore, in consideration of the premises and other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Issuer hereby agrees with the Lender to amend and restate the Original Issuer Agreement in its entirety as follows:
​
This letter agreement is being entered into at the request of SLA CM Avatar Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), in connection with the Margin Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 31, 2019 (the “MLSA”) between the Borrower, the other borrowers thereunder (collectively with the Borrower, the “Borrowers”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as lender (including any agent acting therefor, the “Lender”) (as amended and supplemented from time to time, and together with any security agreement executed in connection therewith, the “Margin Loan Agreement”, and the exercise of remedies by the Lender following an event of default under the Margin Loan Agreement, including in such 

​
‌​



​

exercise of remedies, foreclosure, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock (each as defined below) made in connection with a Market Value Cure Failure (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) or as otherwise contemplated by the Margin Loan Agreement, collectively, the “Exercise of Remedies” and, together with the Margin Loan Agreement, the “Transactions”).  For purposes of this letter agreement, “Closing Date” shall mean October 31, 2019.  
​
Pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, the Lender acquired a first priority security interest in, inter alia, (x) the Original Notes and any proceeds thereof, including the Convertible Notes (upon delivery of such Convertible Notes to the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) in the manner contemplated under the Margin Loan Agreement, the “Pledged Convertible Notes”) and/or (y) certain shares of Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Issuer that have been or may be received upon conversion or exchange (including any sale of Convertible Notes to the Issuer for a combination of cash and Common Stock) of the Convertible Notes from time to time (the “Pledged Common Stock”) to secure the Borrowers’ obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement.  The Securities Intermediary under the Margin Loan Agreement has established on its books, one or more accounts (which may be the Lender or an affiliate thereof) (the “Custodian”) in each case subject to the security interest granted under the Margin Loan Agreement (each, a “Collateral Account”, and collectively, the “Collateral Accounts”).  As used herein, “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open in New York City, and “DTC” means the Depository Trust Company. 
​
In connection with the Transactions:
	1.	The Issuer confirms that based solely on the information provided to the Issuer prior to its execution of this letter agreement, it has no objection to the Transactions and none of the Transactions is subject to any insider trading or other policy or rule of the Issuer.

	2.	Based solely on the information provided to the Issuer prior to its execution of this letter agreement, the Issuer confirms that the loan extended pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement and secured by, inter alia, the Convertible Notes is a Permitted Loan as defined in the Investment Agreement (as defined in the Indenture, the “Investment Agreement”), and further agrees and acknowledges that the Borrower shall have the right to pledge or sell the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock to the extent permitted in connection with Permitted Loans as described in the Investment Agreement.

	3.	The Issuer acknowledges that the Borrower can assign by way of security to the Lender its rights under Article V of the Investment Agreement under the Margin Loan Agreement, as permitted by Section 6.07(iv)(b)(y) of the Investment Agreement, and confirms that it has no objection to the assignment of such rights under Article V of the Investment Agreement pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Margin Loan Agreement or any transfers of Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock under such Article V related thereto, or any assignment of such rights under Article V made in connection with any Market Value Cure Failure or Exercise of Remedies.

	4.	Except as required by applicable law and stock exchange rules, as determined in good faith 


​
‌​
‌​



​

		by the Issuer, the Issuer will not take any actions intended to hinder or delay any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of paragraphs 5 through 15 below, the Issuer agrees, upon Lender’s request after the occurrence of a Market Value Cure Failure under the Margin Loan Agreement or in connection with any Exercise of Remedies, to cooperate in good faith (and in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Indenture and in accordance with applicable law) with the Lender, the Trustee and/or the transfer agent relating to the Common Stock in any transfer of Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock made pursuant to any exercise by the Lender of its remedies under the Margin Loan Agreement or otherwise, including with respect to the removal of any restrictive legends.

	5.	In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Issuer shall take such actions as are within its control to cause the transfer and settlement of Pledged Convertible Notes (in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Indenture) within two Business Days of notice by the Lender.  Upon consummation of such transfer and settlement to the purchaser(s) designated by the Lender, such Pledged Convertible Notes shall be in book-entry DTC form. 

	6.	In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Issuer shall take such actions as are within its control to cause the transfer and settlement of any shares of Common Stock received upon conversion or exchange of the Pledged Convertible Notes within two Business Days of notice by the Lender.  Upon consummation of such transfer and settlement to the purchaser(s) designated by the Lender, such shares of Common Stock (including any Pledged Common Stock) shall be in book-entry DTC form, without any restricted legends and bearing an unrestricted CUSIP. 

	7.	As of the date hereof, the Pledged Convertible Notes will be held in global form and represented as book-entry interests on the books of The Depository Trust Company without restrictive legends and bearing an unrestricted CUSIP with such book-entry interests credited to the Collateral Accounts.

	8.	The Issuer agrees that the Pledged Convertible Notes may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 by any person that is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer.  

	9.	The Lender covenants and agrees with the Issuer that, to the extent the Pledged Convertible Notes consist of SL Securities, then in connection with any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement whereby the Lender forecloses on, sells, or transfers the Pledged Convertible Notes to itself, any affiliate or a third party, it shall, in connection with any such foreclosure, sale or transfer, request the exchange of such SL Securities in accordance with the Indenture for beneficial interests in another Global Security that is not a SL Security such that the transferee thereto does not own or hold any beneficial interest in any SL Security.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender agrees and acknowledges that neither it nor any transferee that is not a member of Silver Lake Group (as defined in the Investment Agreement) shall be allowed to hold a beneficial interest in a Global Security that is a SL Security, own a Physical Security that is a SL Security or exercise any conversion rights in respect thereof.


​
‌​
‌​



​

	10.	Any assignee of Lender’s rights and obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement shall enter into a joinder to this Issuer Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, or shall deliver to the Issuer a counterpart, executed by the assignee, of a substantially identical agreement and the Issuer shall promptly accept such assignment.

	11.	The pledge by the Borrower of the Pledged Convertible Notes and the Pledged Common Stock pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, and any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender, are not restricted in any manner by the formation documents of the Issuer or any other agreement to which the Issuer is a party, other than the Investment Agreement and the Indenture.

	12.	To the knowledge of the Issuer, neither the Pledged Convertible Notes nor the Pledged Common Stock is subject to any pledge, interest, mortgage, lien, encumbrance or right of setoff other than any such as may be created and may exist in favor of the Lender as a result of the Transactions.

	13.	The Issuer shall make all payments or deliveries on the Pledged Convertible Notes and the Pledged Common Stock with a record date on and after the Closing Date to the Collateral Accounts (as irrevocably directed by the Collateral Agent) or otherwise in accordance with the Margin Loan Agreement.

	14.	Subject to customary enforceability exceptions, the Convertible Notes are valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms.  The Common Stock, when issued upon conversion or exchange of the Convertible Notes, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of pre-emptive or similar rights.

ANNEX A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling securityholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of Class A common stock (collectively, “Securities”) covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
The selling securityholders will not pay any of the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration and sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus, but they will pay any and all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes, if any, attributable to sales of the Securities. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Securities.
The selling securityholders may sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time, and may also decide not to sell all or any of the Securities that they are allowed to sell under this prospectus. The selling securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. Sales may be made by the selling securityholders in one or more types of transactions, which may include:
		●	purchases by underwriters, dealers and agents who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholders and/or the purchasers of the Securities for whom they may act as agent;

		●	one or more block transactions, including transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;

		●	ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which a broker solicits purchases;

		●	purchases by a broker-dealer or market maker, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

		●	the pledge of Securities for any loan or obligation, including pledges to brokers or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of Securities, and, in the case of any collateral call or default on such loan or obligation, pledges or sales of Securities by such pledgees or secured parties;

		●	short sales or transactions to cover short sales relating to the Securities;

		●	one or more exchanges or over the counter market transactions;


Annex A-1
​




​
​

		●	through distribution by a selling securityholder or its successor in interest to its members, general or limited partners or shareholders (or their respective members, general or limited partners or shareholders);

		●	privately negotiated transactions;

		●	the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

		●	distributions to creditors and equity holders of the selling securityholders; and

		●	any combination of the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under applicable law.


A selling securityholder may also resell all or a portion of its Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144 and all applicable laws and regulations.
The selling securityholders may enter into sale, forward sale and derivative transactions with third parties, or may sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with those sale, forward sale or derivative transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus, including in short sale transactions and by issuing securities that are not covered by this prospectus but are exchangeable for or represent beneficial interests in the common stock. The third parties also may use shares of common stock received under those sale, forward sale or derivative arrangements or shares of common stock pledged by the selling securityholder or borrowed from the selling securityholders or others to settle such third-party sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock. The third parties may deliver this prospectus in connection with any such transactions. Any third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in a supplement or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, as may be required.
In addition, the selling securityholders may engage in hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of Securities or otherwise. In those transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may also sell securities short and redeliver securities to close out such short positions. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery of securities to the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such securities pursuant to this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may loan or pledge Securities, and the borrower or pledgee may sell or otherwise transfer the Securities so loaned or pledged pursuant to this prospectus. Such borrower or pledgee also may transfer those Securities to investors in our securities or the selling securityholders’ securities or in connection with the offering of other securities not covered by this prospectus.

Annex A-2
​




​
​

To the extent necessary, the specific terms of the offering of Securities, including the specific Securities to be sold, the names of the selling securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent, if any, and any applicable compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions paid to underwriters or agents or paid or allowed to dealers will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus or a post-effective amendment to this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The selling securityholders may, or may authorize underwriters, dealers and agents to, solicit offers from specified institutions to purchase Securities from the selling securityholders. These sales may be made under “delayed delivery contracts” or other purchase contracts that provide for payment and delivery on a specified future date. If necessary, any such contracts will be described and be subject to the conditions set forth in a supplement to this prospectus or a post-effective amendment to this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling securityholders. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of Securities for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both. Compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving securities. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.
In connection with sales of Securities covered hereby, the selling securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent and any other participating broker-dealer that executes sales for the selling securityholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Accordingly, any profits realized by the selling securityholders and any compensation earned by such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Selling securityholders who are “underwriters” under the Securities Act must deliver this prospectus in the manner required by the Securities Act. This prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange in accordance with Rule 153 under the Securities Act or satisfied in accordance with Rule 174 under the Securities Act.
We and the selling securityholders have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, we or the selling securityholders may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against or contribute to any payments the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates are permitted to be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates or the selling securityholders or their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
The selling securityholders will be subject to the applicable provisions of Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Securities by the selling securityholders. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the 

Annex A-3
​




​
​

distribution of the Securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities. These restrictions may affect the marketability of such Securities.
In order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states or countries, the Securities may only be sold in those jurisdictions through registered or licensed brokers or dealers and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, in certain states or countries the Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or country or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available. In addition, any Securities of a selling securityholder covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold in open market transactions under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
In connection with an offering of Securities under this prospectus, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress.
The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions.
These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities offered under this prospectus. As a result, the price of the Securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange or another securities exchange or automated quotation system, or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
