Initial Stockholder, any Fortress Affiliate Stockholder or their Permitted Transferees who remain a “Stockholder” (as such term is used herein) at the time of such an amendment, which restrictions are beyond those then provided for in the
Certificate of Incorporation, this Agreement or applicable securities laws or (b) nullify any of the rights of the Initial Stockholder, any Fortress Affiliate Stockholder or their Permitted Transferees who remain a “Stockholder” (as

 ARTICLE III 

BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

Section 3.1 Board. 

(a) For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company and each Stockholder shall take all reasonable actions within their respective
control (including voting or causing to be voted all of the Company Securities held of record by such Stockholder or Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder by virtue of having voting power over such Company Securities, and, with respect to the
Company, as provided in Sections 3.1(c) and (d)) so as to cause to be elected to the Board, and to cause to continue in office, not more than five directors (or such other number of directors as FIG LLC may agree to in writing), at any given time:

 (i) a number of directors equal to a majority of the Board, plus one director, shall be individuals designated by FIG
LLC, for so long as the Stockholders, together, have Beneficial Ownership of at least 30% of the Voting Power of the Company; 

(ii) a number of directors equal to a majority of the Board, minus one director, shall be individuals designated by the
Initial Stockholder, for so long as the Stockholders, together, have Beneficial Ownership of less than 30% but at least 20% of the Voting Power of the Company, provided that if the Board consists of six or fewer directors, then the Initial
Stockholder shall have the right to designate a number of directors equal to three directors; 
 (iii) a number of directors
(rounded up to the nearest whole number) that would be required to maintain the Initial Stockholder’s proportional representation on the Board shall be individuals designated by the Initial Stockholder, for so long as the Stockholders,
together, have Beneficial Ownership of less than 20% but at least 10% of the Voting Power of the Company, provided that if the Board consists of six or fewer directors, then the Initial Stockholder shall have the right to designate a number of
directors equal to two directors; and 
 (iv) a number of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) that would be
required to maintain the Initial Stockholder’s proportional representation on the Board shall be individuals designated by the Initial Stockholder, for so long as the Stockholders, together, have Beneficial Ownership of less than 10% but at
least 5% of the Voting Power of the Company, provided that if the Board consists of six or fewer directors, then the Initial Stockholder shall have the right to designate a number of directors equal to one director. 

(b) If FIG LLC notifies the Stockholders of its desire to remove, with or without cause, any director previously designated by it, the
Stockholders shall vote or cause to be voted all of the shares of Company Securities held of record by such Stockholders or Beneficially Owned by such Stockholders by virtue of having voting power over such Company Securities and take all other
reasonable actions within its control to cause the removal of such director. 

  
 7 








 (c) The Company agrees to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board those
persons designated by FIG LLC in accordance with Section 3.1(a) and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the election of each such designee to the Board, including nominating such designees to be elected as directors, in each case
subject to applicable law. 
 (d) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or
removal of any director who is designated by FIG LLC in accordance with Section 3.1(a), the Company agrees to take at any time and from time to time all actions necessary to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled as promptly as
practicable by a new designee of FIG LLC. In the event that the size of the Board is expanded to more than six directors, the Company agrees to take at any time and from time to time all actions necessary to cause the Board to continue to have the
number of FIG LLC’s designees that corresponds to the requirements of Section 3.1(a). 
 (e) In the event that at any time the
number of directors entitled to be designated by FIG LLC pursuant to Section 3.1(a) decreases, the Initial Stockholder and its Permitted Transferee shall take reasonable actions to cause a sufficient number of designated directors to resign
from the Board at or prior to the end of such designated director’s term such that the number of designated directors after such resignation(s) equals the number of directors the Initial Stockholder would have been entitled to designate
pursuant to Section 3.1(a). Any vacancies created by such resignation may remain vacant until the next annual meeting of stockholders or filled by a majority vote of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such designated director(s) need not
resign from the Board at or prior to the end of such director’s term if the Company’s nominating committee recommends the nomination of such director(s) for election at the next annual meeting coinciding with the end of such
director’s term, or otherwise (and for the avoidance of doubt, such director shall no longer be considered a designee of FIG LLC). 

Section 3.2 Committees. For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company shall take all reasonable actions within its
control at any given time so as to cause to be appointed to any committee of the Board a number of directors designated by FIG LLC that is up to the number of directors that is proportionate (rounding up to the next whole director) to the
representation that FIG LLC is entitled to designate to the Board under this Agreement, to the extent such directors are permitted to serve on such committees under the applicable rules of the Commission and the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”) or by any other applicable stock exchange. It is understood by the parties hereto that FIG LLC shall not be required to have its directors represented on any committee and any failure to exercise such right in this section in a
prior period shall not constitute any waiver of such right in a subsequent period.

 ARTICLE IV 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

Section 4.1 Demand Registration. 

(a) At any time after the date that is 180 days after the date hereof (or such earlier date (i) as would permit the Company to
cause any filings required hereunder to be filed on the 180th day after the date hereof or (ii) as is permitted by waiver under the IPO Underwriting Agreement), any Person that is a
Stockholder (a “Requesting Stockholder”) on the date a Demand is made shall be entitled to make a written request of the Company (a “Demand”) for registration under the Securities Act of a number of Registrable
Securities that, when taken together with the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered under the Securities Act by such Requesting Stockholder’s Affiliates, equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (a “Demand
Registration”) and thereupon the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of: 

(i) the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Stockholders for
disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand, which may be an Underwritten Offering; 

(ii) all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 4.1(b); and

 (iii) all shares of Common Stock which the Company may elect to register in connection with any offering of Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1, but subject to Section 4.1(f); 
 all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition
(in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional Common Stock, if any, to be so registered. 

(b) A Demand shall specify: (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration,
(ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known and (iii) the identity of the Requesting Stockholder (or Requesting Stockholders). Within five days after receipt of a Demand,
the Company shall give written notice of such Demand to any other Persons that on the date a Demand is delivered to the Company is a Stockholder (excluding Fortress Affiliate Stockholders which have not signed a joinder as contemplated by Section
2.1). Subject to Section 4.1(f), the Company shall include in the Demand Registration covered by such Demand all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein. Such written request
shall comply with the requirements of a Demand as set forth in this Section 4.1(b). 
 (c) Each Stockholder shall be entitled to an
unlimited number of Demand Registrations until such time as the Stockholders, together, Beneficially Own less than a Registrable Amount. 

  
 9 








 (d) Demand Registrations shall be on such registration form of the Commission for which the
Company is eligible as shall be selected by the Requesting Stockholders whose shares represent a majority of the Registrable Securities that the Company has been requested to register, including, to the extent permissible, an automatically effective
registration statement or an existing effective registration statement filed by the Company with the Commission, and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. 

(e) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration (A) within one month of a “firm commitment”
Underwritten Offering in which all Stockholders were given “piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 4.2 (subject to Section 4.1(f)) and provided that at least 50% of the number of Registrable Securities requested by such
Stockholders to be included in such Demand Registration were included) or (B) within one month of any other Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 4.3(e). In addition, the Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to
all Stockholders) for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 60 days in succession the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any Demand Registration (but no more than twice, or for more than 90 days in the
aggregate, in any period of 12 consecutive months) if the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration would cause the disclosure of
material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential. In the event of a postponement by the Company of the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration,
the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities held by the Requesting Stockholder(s) shall have the right to withdraw such Demand in accordance with Section 4.4. 

(f) The Company shall not include any securities other than Registrable Securities in a Demand Registration, except with the written consent
of Stockholders participating in such Demand Registration that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration. If, in connection with a Demand Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Demand
Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, a nationally recognized investment bank engaged in connection with such Demand Registration) advises the Company, that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities, including securities of the
Company that are not Registrable Securities, sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the marketability of the Registrable Securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the Company shall
include in such registration statement only such securities as the Company is advised by such underwriter or investment bank can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, up to the number
of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Stockholders, which, in the opinion of the underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata among such Stockholders
requesting such Demand Registration on the basis of the number of such securities held by such Stockholders and such Stockholders that are Piggyback Sellers; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, all other
securities of the Company duly requested to be included in such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the number of such other securities requested to be included or such other method determined by the Company. 

(g) Any investment bank(s) that will serve as an underwriter with respect to such Demand Registration or, if such Demand Registration is not
an Underwritten Offering, 

  
 10 








 
any investment bank engaged in connection therewith, shall be selected (i) by FIG LLC, for so long as a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company is owned by the Initial
Stockholder, its Permitted Transferees and any Fortress Affiliate Stockholder, and thereafter (ii) by the Stockholder participating in such Demand Registration that holds (together with its Permitted Transferees) a number of Registrable
Securities included in such Demand Registration constituting a plurality of all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration. 

Section 4.2 Piggyback Registrations. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities
Act (other than a registration by the Company (x) on a registration statement on Form S-4 or (y) on a registration statement on Form S-8 (or, in any of the cases of (x) or (y), on any successor forms thereto)) (each, a
“Piggyback Registration”), whether for its own account or for the account of others, the Company shall give the Stockholders (excluding Fortress Affiliate Stockholders which have not signed a joinder as contemplated by Section 2.1)
prompt written notice thereof (but not less than five days prior to the filing by the Company with the Commission of any registration statement with respect thereto). Such notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) shall specify, at a minimum,
the number of equity securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means of distribution and the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters (if any and if
known). Upon the written request of any Person that on the date of such Piggyback Notice is a Stockholder, given within five days after such Piggyback Notice is received by such Person (any such Persons, a “Piggyback Seller”) (which
written request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities then presently intended to be disposed of by such Piggyback Seller), the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause all such Registrable Securities held by Piggyback Sellers with respect to which the Company has received such written requests for inclusion to be included in such Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as the
Company’s equity securities being sold in such Piggyback Registration. 
 (b) If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration, any
managing underwriter (or, if such Piggyback Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, a nationally recognized investment bank engaged in connection with such Demand Registration) advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion
of all the equity securities sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by (i) the Company, (ii) others who have sought to have equity securities of the Company registered in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to rights to
demand (other than pursuant to so-called “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights) such registration (such Persons being “Other Demanding Sellers”), (iii) the Piggyback Sellers and
(iv) any other proposed sellers of equity securities of the Company (such Persons being “Other Proposed Sellers”), as the case may be, would adversely affect the marketability of the equity securities sought to be sold pursuant
thereto, then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Piggyback Registration only such equity securities as the Company is so advised by such underwriter or investment bank can be sold without such an effect, as
follows and in the following order of priority: 
 (i) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for the
Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of equity securities to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its reasonable judgment and acting in good faith and in accordance with sound financial practice, shall have determined,


  
 11 








 
(B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers and securities sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers (if any), pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock
held by such Piggyback Sellers and Other Demanding Sellers and (C) third, other equity securities held by any Other Proposed Sellers; or 

(ii) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account, then (A) first,
such number of equity securities sought to be registered by each Other Demanding Seller and the Piggyback Sellers (if any), pro rata in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by all such Other Demanding Sellers and Piggyback Sellers
and (B) second, other equity securities held by any Other Proposed Sellers or to be sold by the Company as determined by the Company and with such priorities among them as may from time to time be determined or agreed to by the Company. 

(c) In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 4.2 for the Company’s account, the Company shall not be
required to include a holder’s Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering unless such holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company; provided, that any
applicable underwriting agreement includes only customary terms and conditions. 
 (d) If, at any time after giving written notice of its
intention to register any of its equity securities as set forth in this Section 4.2 and prior to the time the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration is declared effective, the Company shall determine for any
reason not to register such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Stockholder and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection
with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith as provided herein); provided, that Stockholders may continue the registration as a Demand
Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 4.1. 
 Section 4.3 Shelf Registration. 

(a) Subject to Section 4.3(e), and further subject to the availability of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or a successor form,
which may be an automatically effective registration statement at any time the Company is eligible (“Form S-3”) to the Company, the Initial Stockholder or any of its Permitted Transferees (in each case to the extent a
Stockholder hereunder) may by written notice delivered (which notice can be delivered at any time after the eleven month anniversary of the date hereof) to the Company (the “Shelf Notice”) require the Company to (i) file as
promptly as practicable (but no later than 30 days after the date the Shelf Notice is delivered), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Commission at the earliest possible date permitted under the
rules and regulations of the Commission (but no later than 60 days after such filing date), a Form S-3, or (ii) use an existing Form S-3 filed with the Commission, in each case providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of the Registrable Securities owned by the Initial Stockholder or the Fortress 

  
 12 








 
Affiliate Stockholders (or any of their Permitted Transferees), as the case may be, and any other Persons that at the time of the Shelf Notice meet the definition of a Stockholder who elect to
participate therein as provided in Section 4.3(b) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”). 
 (b) The Initial Stockholder
and its Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to require the Company to file an unlimited number of Shelf Registration Statements until such time as the Stockholders, together, Beneficially Own less than a Registrable Amount. 

(c) Within five business days after receipt of a Shelf Notice pursuant to Section 4.3(a), the Company will deliver written notice
thereof to each Stockholder (excluding Fortress Affiliate Stockholders which have not signed a joinder as contemplated by Section 2.1). Each Stockholder may elect to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a
written request to so participate. 
 (d) Subject to Section 4.3(e), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the
prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise (the “Shelf Registration Effectiveness Period”). 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing
notice to the Stockholders who elected to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such Stockholders to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement for a reasonable
period of time not to exceed 60 days in succession or 90 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period (a “Suspension Period”) if the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that it is required to
disclose in the Shelf Registration Statement material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Stockholders covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement shall suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made as required below. Any Suspension Period shall terminate at such time as the public disclosure of such information is made.
After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a Stockholder, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or
any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

(f) At any time, and from time-to-time, during the Shelf Registration Effectiveness Period (except during a Suspension Period), each of the
Initial Stockholder, the Fortress Affiliate Stockholders or any of their Permitted Transferees (in each case to the extent a Stockholder hereunder) may notify the Company of their intent to sell Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement (in whole or in part) in an Underwritten Offering (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”); provided that the Company shall not be obligated to participate in more than four underwritten offerings during any
twelve-month period. Such notice shall specify (x) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Shelf 

  
 13 








 
Underwritten Offering and (y) the identity of the Stockholder(s) requesting such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Upon receipt by the Company of such notice, the Company shall promptly comply
with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including those provisions of Section 4.5 relating the Company’s obligation to make filings with the Commission, assist in the preparation and filing with the Commission of prospectus
supplements and amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, participate in “road shows,” agree to customary “lock-up” agreements with respect to the Company’s securities and obtain “comfort” letters, and the
Company shall take such other actions as necessary or appropriate to permit the consummation of such Shelf Underwritten Offering as promptly as practicable. Each Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be for the sale of a number of Registrable Securities
equal to or greater than the Registrable Amount. In any Shelf Underwritten Offering, the Company shall select the investment bank(s) and managers that will serve as lead or co-managing underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable
Securities, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Stockholders participating in such Shelf Underwritten Offering that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering. 

Section 4.4 Withdrawal Rights. Any Stockholder having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such
effect to the Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall
continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn; provided, however, that in the case of a Demand
Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable give each holder of Registrable Securities
sought to be registered notice to such effect and, within ten days following the mailing of such notice, such holder(s) of Registrable Securities still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional
Registrable Securities, when taken together with elections to register Registrable Securities by its Permitted Transferees, to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be
withdrawn. During such ten day period, the Company shall not file such registration statement if not theretofore filed or, if such registration statement has been theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof. 
 Section 4.5 Registration Procedures. 

(a) If and whenever the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities
under the Securities Act as provided in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (in each case, to the extent applicable): 

(i) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement to effect such registration, cause such registration
statement to become effective at the earliest possible date permitted under the rules and regulations of the Commission, and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such 

  
 14 








 
registration statement to remain effective pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities which are not
Registrable Securities at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto; provided, further that before filing such registration statement or any amendments thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel
selected by the holders of Registrable Securities which are to be included in such registration (“Selling Holders”) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of and comment by
such counsel (it being understood that counsel to the Selling Holders will conduct its review and provide any comments promptly); 

(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith and any Exchange Act reports incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier of such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
Selling Holder(s) set forth in such registration statement or (i) in the case of a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 4.1, the expiration of 60 days after such registration statement becomes effective or (ii) in the case of a
Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 4.2, the expiration of 60 days after such registration statement becomes effective or (iii) in the case of a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 4.3, the Shelf Registration Effectiveness
Period; 
 (iii) furnish to each Selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by such Selling
Holder such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement (including
each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and such other
documents as such Selling Holder and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder; 

(iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement under such other securities laws or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Selling Holder and any underwriter of the securities being sold by such Selling Holder shall reasonably request, and take any other action which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be
required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in 

  
 15 








 
any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (iv) be obligated to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to file a
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
 (v) use best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities
to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if no such securities are so listed, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on the NYSE or
the Nasdaq Stock Market; 
 (vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Selling Holder(s) thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

(vii) in connection with an Underwritten Offering, obtain for each Selling Holder and underwriter: 

(1) an opinion of counsel for the Company, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten
offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Selling Holder and underwriters, and 
 (2) a
“comfort” letter (or, in the case of any such Person which does not satisfy the conditions for receipt of a “comfort” letter specified in AU Section 634 of the AICPA Professional Standards, an “agreed upon
procedures” letter) signed by the independent registered public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement (and, if necessary, any other independent registered public
accountant of any Subsidiary of the Company or any business acquired by the Company from which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the registration statement); ; 

(viii) promptly make available for inspection by any Selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant
to any registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by any such Selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such Selling Holder or underwriter to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement promptly; provided, however, that, unless the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in the registration statement or the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall not be required to provide any


  
 16 








 
information under this subparagraph (viii) if (i) the Company believes, after consultation with counsel for the Company, that to do so would cause the Company to forfeit an
attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or (ii) if either (A) the Company has requested and been granted from the Commission confidential treatment of such information contained in any filing with the Commission
or documents provided supplementally or otherwise or (B) the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing unless prior to furnishing any such information with respect
to (i) or (ii) such holder of Registrable Securities requesting such information agrees, and causes each of its Inspectors, to enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company; and provided, further,
that each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate
action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential; 
 (ix) promptly notify in writing each Selling Holder
and the underwriters, if any, of the following events: 
 (1) the filing of the registration statement, the prospectus or
any prospectus supplement related thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment to the registration statement, and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has
become effective; 
 (2) any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the
prospectus or for additional information; 
 (3) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any Person for that purpose; 
 (4) when
any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes information that may conflict with the information contained in the registration statement; and 

(5) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable
Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose; 

(x) notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to 

  
 17 








 
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any Selling Holder, promptly prepare and furnish to such Selling Holder a reasonable number of
copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 (xi) use
every reasonable best effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement; 

(xii) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and
make available to Selling Holders, as promptly as practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full quarter after the effective
date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 

(xiii) use its reasonable best efforts to assist Stockholders who made a request to the Company to provide for a third party
“market maker” for the Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to serve as such “market maker”; 

(xiv) cooperate with any Selling Holder and any underwriter and the managing underwriter to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under applicable law), if necessary or appropriate, representing securities sold under any registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or such Selling Holder may request and keep available and make available to the Company’s transfer agent prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement a supply
of such certificates as necessary or appropriate; 
 (xv) have appropriate officers of the Company prepare and make
presentations at any “road shows” and before analysts and rating agencies, as the case may be, take other actions to obtain ratings for any Registrable Securities (if they are eligible to be rated) and otherwise use its reasonable best
efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the Selling Holders and the underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities; 

(xvi) have appropriate officers of the Company, and cause representatives of the Company’s independent registered public
accountants, to participate in any due diligence discussions reasonably requested by any Selling Holder or any underwriter; 

  
 18 








 (xvii) if requested by any underwriter, agree, and cause the Company and any
directors or officers of the Company to agree, to be bound by customary “lock-up” agreements restricting the ability to dispose of Company securities; 

(xviii) if requested by any Selling Holders or any underwriter, promptly incorporate in the registration statement or any
prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such Selling Holders may reasonably request to have included therein, including information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the
Registrable Securities; 
 (xix) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the FINRA and in the
performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter that is required to be undertaken in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FINRA; 

(xx) otherwise use reasonable best efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the Selling Holders and the underwriters in
the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities; 
 (xxi) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and all reporting requirements under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act; and 

(xxii) use reasonable best efforts to take any action requested by the Selling Holders, including any action described in
clauses (i) through (xxi) above to prepare for and facilitate any “over-night deal” or other proposed sale of Registrable Securities over a limited timeframe. 

The Company may require each Selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, to furnish the Company in writing such information regarding each Selling Holder or
underwriter and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request to complete or amend the information required by such registration statement. 

(b) Without limiting any of the foregoing, in the event that the offering of Registrable Securities is to be made by or through an
underwriter, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with a managing underwriter or underwriters containing representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements customarily included (but not inconsistent with the covenants and
agreements of the Company contained herein) by an issuer of common stock in underwriting agreements with respect to offerings of common stock for the account of, or on behalf of, such issuers. In connection with any offering of Registrable
Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall furnish to the underwriter, if any (or, if no underwriter, the Selling Holder), unlegended certificates representing ownership of the Registrable Securities being sold (unless, in
the Company’s sole discretion, such Registrable Securities are to be issued in uncertificated form pursuant to the customary arrangements for issuing shares in such form), in such denominations as requested and instruct any transfer agent and
registrar of the Registrable Securities to release any stop transfer order with respect thereto. 

  
 19 








 (c) Each Selling Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening
of any event of the kind described in Section 4.5(a)(ix), such Selling Holder shall forthwith discontinue such Selling Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable registration statement and prospectus relating
thereto until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.5(a)(ix) and, if so directed by the Company, deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, all copies,
other than permanent file copies, then in such Selling Holder’s possession of the prospectus current at the time of receipt of such notice relating to such Registrable Securities. In the event the Company shall give such notice, any applicable
60 day period during which such registration statement must remain effective pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended by the number of days during the period from the date of giving of a notice regarding the happening of an event of the kind
described in Section 4.5(a)(ix) to the date when all such Selling Holders shall receive such a supplemented or amended prospectus and such prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission. 

Section 4.6 Registration Expenses. 

(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of, or compliance with, its obligations under this Agreement including
(i)(A) all registration and filing fees, all fees and expenses of compliance with securities and “blue sky” laws, (B) all fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with FINRA (including, if applicable, the
fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” as such term is defined in NASD Rule 2720 or the equivalent rule incorporated into the FINRA rulebook), (C) all fees and expenses of compliance with securities and
“blue sky” laws, (D) all printing (including expenses of printing certificates, if any, for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of
prospectuses and Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses is requested by a holder of Registrable Securities) and copying expenses, (E) all messenger and delivery expenses, (F) all fees and expenses of the Company’s independent certified
public accountants and counsel (including with respect to “comfort” letters, “agreed-upon procedures” letter and opinions), (G) fees and expenses of one counsel to the Stockholders selling in such registration (which firm
shall be selected by the Stockholders selling in such registration that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration), (H) except as provided in clause (ii) below, the fees and expenses (including
underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes) of every nationally recognized investment bank engaged in connection with a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration that is not an Underwritten Offering, (collectively, the
“Registration Expenses”) and (ii) any expenses described in clauses (i)(A) through (H) above incurred in connection with the marketing and sale of Registrable Securities (“Offering Expenses”) shall be
borne by the Company, regardless of whether a registration is effected, marketing is commenced or sale is made. The Company will pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties, the expense of any annual audit and the expense of any liability insurance) and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange and included in each established over-the-counter market
on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or traded. 
 (b) Each Selling Holder shall pay its portion of all
underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration.

 ARTICLE V 

INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 5.1 General Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Stockholder and each of the
officers, directors, employees, members, managers, partners and agents or Affiliates of the Initial Stockholder against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, the “Losses”), in each case, based on, arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any claim, action, cause of action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, investigative or other (collectively, “Actions”), based on, arising out of, pertaining to or in connection with (i) the ownership or the operation of the assets or properties, and the operation or
conduct of the business of, including contracts entered into by, the Company, whether before, on or after the date hereof (ii) any other activity that the Company or its Subsidiaries engages in and (iii) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Filing or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, other than misstatements or
omissions made in reliance on information relating to and furnished by the Initial Stockholder in writing expressly for use in the preparation of such Filing. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 shall be applicable whether or
not any Action or the facts or transactions giving rise to such Action arose prior to, on or subsequent to the date of this Agreement. 

Section 5.2 Registration Statement Indemnification. 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder, its officers, directors,
employees, managers, members, partners and Affiliates, such Selling Holder or such other indemnified Person from and against all Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof 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, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder
expressly for use therein. In connection with an Underwritten Offering and without limiting any of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall also indemnify such underwriters, their officers, directors, employees
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 underwriters or such other indemnified Person to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification (and exceptions thereto) of the holders of Registrable Securities being sold. Reimbursements payable pursuant to the indemnification contemplated by this Section 5.2(a) will be made by periodic payments during the course of any
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred. 

  
 21 








 (b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is
participating, each such Selling Holder will furnish to the Company in writing information regarding such Selling Holder’s ownership of Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution thereof and, to the extent permitted by law,
shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or
such other indemnified Person against all Losses caused by any untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or any 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, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or omission is caused by and contained in such information so furnished in writing by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that each Selling Holder’s obligation to indemnify the Company hereunder shall, to
the extent more than one Selling Holder is subject to the same indemnification obligation, be apportioned between each Selling Holder based upon the net amount received by each Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities, as compared to
the total net amount received by all of the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder shall be liable to the Company for amounts in excess of the lesser
of (i) such apportionment and (ii) the net amount received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability. 

Section 5.3 Contribution. 

(a) 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 determining the amount of contribution to which the respective Persons are entitled, there shall be considered 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. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder or transferee thereof shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net amount received by such holder from its sale of Registrable Securities in
connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

 Section 5.4 Procedure. 

(a) 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 materially prejudiced by such failure to
provide such notice on a timely basis. 
 (b) In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, 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, 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 (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or is
reasonably likely to be 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 separate legal counsel). The indemnifying party
shall lose its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled in accordance with the next following sentence). 

Section 5.5 Other Matters. 

(a) An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an Action effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Action. 

(b) Any Losses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article V shall be paid by the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such Losses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article V shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or
on behalf of any Indemnitee, the Company, its directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, and (ii) any termination of this Agreement. 

(c) The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with each other in a reasonable manner with respect
to access to unprivileged information and similar matters in connection with any Action. The provisions of this Article V are for the benefit of, and are intended to create third party beneficiary rights in favor of, each of the indemnified parties
referred to herein.

 (d) Not less than three days before the expected filing date of each registration statement
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall notify each Stockholder who has timely provided the requisite notice hereunder entitling the Stockholder to register Registrable Securities in such registration statement of the information, documents
and instruments from such Stockholder that the Company or any underwriter reasonably requests in connection with such registration statement, including, but not limited to a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter and
underwriting agreement (the “Requested Information”). If the Company has not received, on or before the day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such Stockholder, the Company may file the Registration
Statement without including Registrable Securities of such Stockholder. The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of a Stockholder (with regard to that registration statement) shall not in and of itself
result in any liability on the part of the Company to such Stockholder.
