received the prior written consent of the Company in accordance with this Section 2, prior to selling any Common Stock to the third party or parties, such Holder shall promptly deliver to the Company in writing a notice of the proposed
transaction (the “Offer”) setting forth in reasonable detail (a) a description of the proposed transaction and proposed purchaser, (b) the number of Securities Subject to the Offer and the form and amount of consideration
therefor and (c) any and all other material terms and conditions of the Offer. The Company shall, within five (5) business days from receipt thereof, deliver written notice of the Offer to the Eligible Offerees stating the terms and
conditions of such Offer, including the number of shares of Common Stock that are Securities Subject to the Offer pursuant to this Section 2.6, and the date of such Offer shall be deemed to be the date such written notice of the Offer is so
delivered by the Company. Upon receipt of such Offer, the Eligible Offerees shall have the right to elect to purchase the Securities Subject to the Offer in accordance with the provisions of Section 3. 

3.2 Eligible Offerees. 
 The Eligible Offerees shall have the right, for thirty (30) days following the date of an Offer, to accept the Offer as to all or any Securities Subject to the Offer. The Eligible Offerees which
accept the Offer shall agree in advance on the allocation of the securities Subject to the Offer among the accepting Eligible Offerees. If the Company shall not have sufficient surplus to permit it lawfully to purchase Securities Subject to the
Offer which the Company has accepted in whole or in part, the Holders shall, promptly upon the request of the Company, take such action to vote their respective shares to reduce the stated capital of the Company to the extent permitted by law or to
authorize such other steps as may be appropriate or necessary in order to enable the Company, if possible, lawfully to purchase such Securities Subject to the Offer. 
 3.3 Certain Effects of Offers. 
 Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.2, all Common Stock transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to any third party or to any Eligible Offeree (other than the Company), and all Securities Subject to the Offer under Sections 2.1 through 2.5 (unless
acquired by the Company), shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that upon the sale of (or other realization upon) Common Stock by any banks or other bona fide sources of financing pursuant to, or upon the occurrence
of any transfer of such Common Stock to any such banks or other bona fide sources of financing or any third party pursuant to, pledge arrangements which may be entered into by the Company’s Holders pledging their capital stock or notes thereto
to secure financing, such Common Stock so pledged shall not remain subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 3.4 Acceptance; Closing. 

If Eligible Offerees accept an Offer as to all or any portion of the Securities Subject to the Offer, the accepting Eligible Offerees
shall evidence their acceptance by delivering to the Company a joint written notice of intent to purchase such Securities Subject to the Offer, which shall also specify the agreed allocation of Securities Subject to the Offer among the accepting
Eligible Offerees. The Company shall, in turn, promptly notify in writing any Holder or any other party required to sell Securities Subject to the Offer of the receipt of such notices (“Receipt Notice”). If the Company is the only
Eligible Offeree accepting the Offer, the Company shall accept an Offer as to the Securities Subject to the Offer by promptly notifying the Holder or any other party required to sell Securities Subject to the Offer of such acceptance, and such
notice by the Company shall be deemed a Receipt Notice. The closing of the acquisitions of Securities Subject to the Offer by Eligible Offerees shall be consummated within ninety (90) days following the delivery of the Receipt Notice. In the
case of all acquisitions of Securities Subject to the Offer by Eligible Offerees such acquisitions shall be consummated at a closing held at the principal offices of the Company (unless otherwise mutually agreed), at which time the Purchase Price
(if cash, in the form of a cashier’s check) shall be delivered to the transferor of the Common Stock or the transferor’s representative, and the transferor or the transferor’s representative shall deliver to the Eligible Offerees
purchasing such shares and certificates representing the Securities Subject to the Offer so purchased, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers or assignment forms, and evidence of good title to the Securities Subject
to the Offer so purchased and the absence of liens, encumbrances and adverse claims with respect thereto and such other matters as are deemed necessary by the Company for the proper transfer of the Securities Subject to the Offer so purchased to the
acquiring Eligible Offerees on the books of the Company. 
 3.5 Form of Payment 

The Purchase Price for all Securities Subject to the Offer pursuant to an Offer made under Sections 2.1 through 2.5, as applicable, shall
be paid in cash. 
 Section 4. Certain Dispositions. 

4.1 Loan and Other Agreements: Certain Restrictions. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Holder shall make any Disposition (including but not limited to a Disposition pursuant to Sections 2, 4 or 5 (other than pursuant to
Section 4.2 or paragraph 5.1(a)) which, in the Company’s reasonable judgment (as evidenced by a resolution of the Board), would cause a breach or default or acceleration of payments under any loan agreement, note, indenture or other
agreement or instrument to which the Company and/or its Affiliates are a party and under which the indebtedness or liability of the Company and/or its Affiliates exceeds $5,000,000 (“Material Agreement”), unless the Board approves
the Disposition (or such approval shall be deemed given in accordance with the below). Therefore, each Holder desiring or required to make a Disposition shall, prior to attempting to effect any such Disposition, (a) give written notice
(“Notice”) to the Company describing the proposed Disposition and the proposed transferee in sufficient detail, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Holder desires to make a Disposition; and
(b) provide such other information concerning the Disposition as the Company reasonably requests. If, in the Company’s reasonable judgment (which judgment shall be communicated in writing within


  
 13 









 
ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Notice and all other information it has reasonably requested (the “Response Notice”)), the proposed Disposition would
cause a breach or default or acceleration of payments under any Material Agreement, then such Disposition may not be made at such time, and any attempted Disposition shall be null and void; provided, however, that if
(x) the Company fails to send a Response Notice prior to the expiry of the aforementioned ten (10) day period, or (y) the Company cannot approve a Disposition pursuant to this sentence on or prior to the last day of the second
calendar year quarter beginning on or after the date of the Notice, then such Disposition shall be permitted and deemed approved on the date of expiry of the relevant period and any right of first refusal that the Company may have had pursuant to
section 2.6 with respect to such shares of Common Stock shall thereupon expire. If the Company approves such Disposition (or such approval shall be deemed given in accordance with the above) and any shares of Common Stock with respect to which
approval has been given are not actually transferred within the relevant time period provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement, then all of the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any subsequent transaction affecting such
Common Stock (except as expressly excluded by the other terms of this Agreement). Additionally, all shares of Common Stock transferred (whether to a third party or any Holder) pursuant to a Disposition complying with the terms of this Section 4
shall remain subject to this Agreement. 
 4.2 Come-Along and Tag Along Rights. 

(a) Prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, if Sponsor desires to effect (i) any sale, disposition
or transfer of shares of Common Stock (other than any transfer described in the seventh sentence of this Section 4.2(a)) following which (when aggregated with all prior such sales or transfers) Sponsor shall have disposed in the aggregate of at
least 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock, as applicable, that Sponsor owned as of the time Original Issue Date to any prospective transferee or Group, or (ii) a Control Disposition or any sale or transfer of shares of Common Stock
following a Control Disposition (any event described in subsections (i) or (ii) being a “Section 4.2 Transaction”), it shall give written notice to the Holders at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed closing of
such Section 4.2 Transaction offering such Holders the option (the “Tag Along Option”) to participate in such Section 4.2 Transaction. The notice shall set forth the material terms of the proposed Section 4.2
Transaction and identify the contemplated transferee or Group (a “Sale Notice”) including the description in reasonable detail of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock to be transferred, (B) the prospective transferee
to whom such shares of Common Stock are proposed to be transferred, (C) the terms and the conditions of such Section 4.2 Transaction, including the consideration to be paid, and (D) if known, the proposed date, time and location of
the closing of such Section 4.2 Transaction. Each of the Holders may, by written notice to Sponsor (a “Tag Along Notice”) delivered within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Sale Notice (each such Holder delivering
such timely notice being a “Tag Along Holder”), elect to sell in such Section 4.2 Transaction by specifying the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (excluding Award Shares; provided, however, that in the case
of the Section 4.2 Transaction described in (ii) above, the Tag Along Holder may include that number of shares of Common Stock 

  
 14 









 
which such Holder may obtain by exercising Awards held by Holder that are vested as of the date of such Section 4.2 Transaction or which would vest in connection with such Section 4.2
Transaction (collectively, the “Deemed Held Shares”)) in such number such Tag Along Holder desires to include in such Section 4.2 Transaction. If none of the Holders delivers a timely Tag Along Notice, Sponsor may thereafter
consummate the Section 4.2 Transaction, on substantially the same terms and conditions as are described in the Sale Notice. If one or more of the Holders gives Sponsor a timely Tag Along Notice, then Sponsor shall use all reasonable efforts to
cause the prospective transferee or Group to agree to acquire all shares identified in all timely Tag Along Notices, upon the same terms and conditions as applicable to the shares held by Sponsor, including with respect to representations and
warranties and indemnification; provided, however, that (x) no Holders shall be required to make representations and warranties in connection with such transaction other than customary representations and warranties solely with
respect to such Holder and (y) any indemnification provided by the Holders shall be pro rata based on the relative amount of net proceeds received by each Holder in the Section 4.2 Transaction. If such prospective transferee or Group is
unable or unwilling to acquire all shares proposed to be included in the Section 4.2 Transaction upon such terms, then Sponsor may elect to cancel such Section 4.2 Transaction or to allocate the maximum number of shares that each
prospective transferee or Group is willing to purchase among Sponsor and the Tag Along Holders in the proportion that each such Tag Along Holder’s and Sponsor’s Proportionate Percentage bears to the total Proportionate Percentages of
Sponsor and the Tag Along Holders (e.g., if the Sale Notice contemplated a Section 4.2 Transaction of 10% Proportionate Percentage by Sponsor, and if Sponsor at such time owns a 30% Proportionate Percentage and one Tag Along Holder who owns a
20% Proportionate Percentage elects to participate, then Sponsor would be entitled to sell a 6% Proportionate Percentage (30%/50% x the 10% Proportionate Percentage) and the Tag Along Holder would be entitled to sell a 4% Proportionate Percentage
(20%/50% x the 10% Proportionate Percentage). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2(a), the Tag Along Option described in this Section 4.2(a) shall not apply to any transfers by Sponsor on or prior to May 15,
2012 of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value of not greater than to EUR 60,000,000 in the aggregate to one or more non-Affiliate third-parties, so long as such transfers do not result in a Control Disposition. Any transferee of shares
of Common Stock pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a Sponsor for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no Section 4.2 Transaction shall be subject to the
requirements of Sections 2.1 through 2.5, Section 3 (other than as set forth in Section 3.3) or Section 4.1. Upon the closing of the sale of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders shall deliver at such
closing, against payment of the purchase price therefor, certificates representing their shares of Common Stock to be sold, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers or in the event any such certificates have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, such affidavit of lost, stolen or destroyed 

  
 15 









 
certificates to be delivered to the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and evidence of good title to the shares to be sold and the absence of liens, encumbrances and
adverse claims with respect thereto and such other matters as are deemed necessary by the Company for the proper transfer of such shares on the books of the Company. For purposes of this paragraph 4.2(a), any holder of Common Stock who has a
contractual right to participate in such Section 4.2 Transaction or any other holder of Common Stock who is otherwise participating in such Section 4.2 Transaction with the consent of Sponsor shall be deemed to be a “Holder”
hereunder, provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such holder shall be entitled to sell a percentage of such holder’s shares of Common Stock in a Section 4.2 Transaction in excess of such holder’s
Proportionate Percentage. 
 (b) If Sponsor desires to effect a Control Disposition, then in lieu of complying
with the requirement of paragraph 4.2(a), Sponsor at its option (the “Come Along Option”) may require all Holders to sell the same percentage of their respective shares of Common Stock (including within this number any Deemed Held
Shares) as Sponsor desires to sell to the transferee or Group selected by Sponsor, at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions as apply to those sold by Sponsor; provided, however, that (i) no Holders shall be required to
make representations and warranties in connection with such transaction other than customary representations and warranties solely with respect to such Holder, (ii) any indemnification provided by the Holders shall be pro rata based on the
relative amount of the net proceeds received by the Holders in the Control Disposition and on a several, and not joint, basis, or solely with recourse to an escrow established for the benefit of the proposed purchase (the Holders’ contribution
to such escrow to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with the proceeds received from such Control Disposition), it being understood that any such indemnification obligation of a Holder shall in no event exceed the net proceeds to such Holder from
such transaction and (iii) no Holders shall be required to agree to any non-compete, non-solicitation, standstill or other similar restrictive covenant. All Holders shall consent to and raise no objections against the Control Disposition, and
if the Control Disposition is structured as (x) a merger or consolidation of the Company, each Holder shall waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation, or (y) a sale of
all the capital stock of the Company, the Holders shall agree to sell all their shares of Common Stock which are the subject of the Control Disposition (including their Deemed Held Shares). The Holders shall take all reasonably necessary and
desirable actions in the ordinary course of the transaction approved by Sponsor in connection with the consummation of the Control Disposition, including obtaining Board consent to the Control Disposition and the execution of such agreements and
such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to provide customary representations, warranties, and indemnities regarding title, as well as escrow arrangements relating to such Control Disposition in accordance with Sections 4.2(b)(i) and
(ii), above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no such Disposition shall be subject to the requirements of Sections 2.1 through 2.5 or Section 3. Upon the 

  
 16 









 
closing of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders shall deliver at such closing, against payment of the purchase price therefor, certificates representing their shares
of Common Stock to be sold, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers or in the event any such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, such affidavit of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to be delivered
to the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and evidence of good title to the shares to be sold and the absence of liens, encumbrances and adverse claims with respect thereto and such other matters as are deemed necessary by the
Company for the proper transfer of such shares on the books of the Company. 
 (c) For purposes of this
Section 4.2, a Control Disposition shall include an indirect Disposition triggered by a transfer of the membership units of Sponsor to a Person or Group that is not an Affiliate of Sponsor. 

(d) The Company and the Holder shall cooperate in causing any Deemed Held Shares that are ultimately included in a Control
Disposition to be delivered to the Holder immediately prior to the closing of such Control Disposition in order that Holders may exercise rights under Section 4.2(a) and Sponsor may exercise its rights under Section 4.2(b). 

Section 5. Permitted Transfers. 
 5.1 Permitted Dispositions. 
 The following Dispositions shall be permitted
without compliance with the provisions of Section 2 and 3: 
 (a) By any Holder, (i) in the case of
shares of Common Stock, with respect to a Public Sale in connection with the exercise of Piggy-Back Registration Rights in accordance with Section 11 or (ii) a Public Sale of Common Stock that occurs following the expiration of the
Underwriters Lock-Up Period; 
 (b) By any individual Holder during such Holder’s lifetime to: (i) a
guardian of the estate of such Holder, (ii) an inter-vivos trust primarily for the benefit of such Holder; (iii) an inter-vivos trust whose primary beneficiary is one or more of such Holder’s lineal descendants (including lineal
descendants by adoption); (iv) the spouse of such Holder during marriage and not incident to divorce; or (v) such Holder’s Affiliates; 
 (c) To any individual Holder by: (i) a guardian of the estate of such Holder; (ii) an inter-vivos trust whose primary beneficiary is such Holder or one or more of such Holder’s lineal
descendants (including lineal descendants by adoption), (iii) the spouse of such Holder during marriage and not incident to divorce; or (iv) such Holder’s lineal descendants (including lineal descendants by adoption); 

  
 17 









 (d) With the consent of the Company, by any Holder to a qualified retirement
plan sponsored by the Holder; 
 (e) By any qualified retirement plan referred to in paragraph 5.1(d) to
participants, alternate payees and beneficiaries to the extent required by law and the provisions of such plan; 

(f) By any Holder which is a trust, to any successor trust or successor trustee; and 

(g) With the consent of the Company, by any Holder to other entities for tax planning purposes. 

provided, however, that as a condition to any such permitted transfer, any Person (including such Person’s spouse, if any), (other
than the Company), so acquiring such Common Stock shall be required to subject the Common Stock acquired by such Person to the provisions of this Agreement, and thereafter any such Person shall be deemed a “Holder” for the purposes of this
Agreement. 
 5.2 Pledges. 
 (a) Unless approved by a majority of the Board, no Holder shall pledge any shares of Common Stock held by it, unless such pledge is made by such Holder to the Company. 

(b) A breach by any Holder of the covenants contained in this Section 5.2 shall not relieve or waive the obligations
of all other Holders to comply with such covenants. 
 Section 6. Conditions; Additional Parties; Exit. 

6.1 Conditions to Permitted Transfers. 
 As a condition to the Company’s obligation to effect a transfer permitted by this Agreement on the books and records of the Company, any transferee (other than a transferee described in paragraph
5.1(a)) of Common Stock) shall be required to become a party to this Agreement by executing (together with such Person’s spouse, if applicable) an Adoption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A or in such other form that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and upon execution of such Adoption Agreement such transferee shall have all the rights and obligations of a Holder hereunder. 
 6.2 Additional Parties. 
 (a) If required under the terms of
this Agreement, or upon the written approval of the holders of at least the Required Approval Percentage, any Person which acquires any shares of Common Stock subsequent to the execution of this Agreement shall become a party to this Agreement upon
executing (together with such Person’s spouse, if any) an Adoption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A or in such other form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and upon execution of such Adoption Agreement such
transferee shall have all the rights and obligations of a Holder hereunder. 

  
 18 









 (b) In the event that any Person acquires shares of Common Stock from
(i) a Holder or any of its Affiliates or a member of such Holder’s Group or (ii) any direct or indirect transferee of a Holder, including pursuant to any Disposition contemplated by Section 5.1 (other than Section 5.1(a)) of
this Agreement, such Person shall be subject to any and all obligations and restrictions of the Holder (for whom the shares of Common Stock were purchased) hereunder, as if such Person was such Holder named herein, including, without limitation, the
obligation to make an Offer to Eligible Offerees pursuant to Section 2.4 upon the death of the Holder (from whom the shares of Common Stock were purchased). Additionally, whenever a Holder makes a transfer of shares of Common Stock, including
pursuant to any Disposition contemplated by Section 5.1 (other than Section 5.1(a)) of this Agreement, such shares shall contain a legend so as to inform any transferee that such shares were held originally by a Holder and are subject to
repurchase upon the death of such Holder. Such legend shall not be placed on any shares of Common Stock acquired from a Holder by the Company, Sponsor or any of their Affiliates. 

(c) Any shares of Common Stock acquired by an individual retirement account (“IRA”) on behalf of an
employee, consultant or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Subject Individual”) shall be deemed to be a Holder. Additionally, such Subject Individual shall be deemed to be a Holder and his or her IRA shall be
deemed to have acquired all shares it holds from such Subject Individual pursuant to a transfer that is subject to Section 6.2(b) above. 
 6.3 Exit. 
 The Sponsor and the Company acknowledge that, in light of the
current tax regime applicable to the Company, the current intention is to structure an exit from the Taminco Group as a sale or transfer of Common Stock. The Sponsor and the Holders confirm and agree, and the Company acknowledges, that if a
Realization Event (as defined in the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan) occurs as a result of a sale or other transfer (including a sale or transfer of assets) of or by one or more Subsidiaries of the Company (rather than a sale or other
transfer of the Company itself) and such transaction or series of transactions, including any upstreaming to the Holders of the proceeds of such sale or transfer, would result in materially more adverse tax consequences for one or more Holders than
the tax consequences to such Holders associated with a sale or transfer of the Company itself, then the Company and the Sponsor agree to cooperate with such Holders in good faith to create and structure exit opportunities for such Holders to avoid
or minimize such material adverse tax consequences (to the extent that such material adverse tax consequences may be avoided or minimized without violating any applicable law or resulting in any material economic harm to the Company and/or the
Sponsor), including without limitation put options or any similar rights granted by a Sponsor to the Holders pursuant to which the Holders shall be entitled to sell or transfer his Common Stock to a Sponsor.

 Section 7. Restriction on Transfer. 

7.1 No shares of Common Stock shall be transferable except upon the conditions specified in this Section 7, which conditions are
intended to insure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. 
 7.2 Each certificate representing shares of Common
Stock shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 7.4 below) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY
LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT OR LAWS. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO AN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF
THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “COMPANY”), AND THE OTHER PARTIES NAMED THEREIN. THE TERMS OF SUCH INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT
WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.” 
 7.3 The holder of any
shares of Common Stock by acceptance thereof agrees, prior to any transfer of any such shares, to give written notice to the Company of such holder’s intention to effect such transfer and to comply in all other respects with the provisions of
this Section. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer. Upon request by the Company, the holder delivering such notice shall deliver a written opinion, addressed to the Company, of counsel for the holder
of such shares, stating that in the opinion of such counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such proposed transfer does not involve a transaction requiring registration or qualification of such shares
under the Securities Act. Such holder of such shares shall be entitled to transfer such shares in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company, if the Company does not reasonably object to such transfer and request such opinion
within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, or, if it requests such opinion, does not reasonably object to such transfer within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such opinion. Each certificate or other instrument evidencing
the securities issued upon the transfer of any shares of Common Stock shall bear the 

  
 20 









 
legend set forth in Section 7.2 above unless (a) in such opinion of counsel to the holder of such shares (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company)
registration of any future transfer is not required by the applicable provisions of the Securities Act or (b) the Company shall have waived the requirement of such legends. 

7.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, the restrictions imposed by this Section upon the transferability of
any shares of Common Stock shall cease and terminate when (a) any such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) in a transaction contemplated by
Section 7.3 above which does not require that the shares so transferred bear the legend set forth in Section 7.2 hereof, or (b) the holder of such shares has met the requirements for transfer of such shares under Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act (subject to the delivery of opinions as set forth above). Whenever the restrictions imposed by this Section shall terminate, the holder of any shares as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, without expense, a new certificate not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 7.2 above and not containing any other reference to the restrictions imposed by this Section. 

Section 8. Notices. 
 In the event a notice or other document is required to be sent hereunder to the Company, Sponsor or to any Holder or the spouse or legal representative of a Holder, such notice shall be in writing and
such notice or other document, if sent by mail, shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested (and by air mail in the event the addressee is not in the continental United States), to the party entitled to receive such notice or other
document at the address set forth on Annex I hereto. Any such notice shall be effective and deemed received three (3) days after proper deposit in the mails, but actual notice shall be effective however and whenever received. The
Company, Sponsor or any Holder or spouse or their respective legal representatives may effect a change of address for purposes of this Agreement by giving notice of such change to the Company, and the Company shall, upon the request of any party
hereto, notify such party of such change in the manner provided herein. Until such notice of change of address is properly given, the addresses set forth herein shall be effective for all purposes. 

Section 9. Repurchase Rights. 
 9.1 Following a Holder’s Termination of Relationship for any reason: 
 (a) The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase all or any portion of the Holder’s Initial Purchased Shares for the Fair Market Value of such Initial Purchased Shares as
of the date of such repurchase. 
 (b) With respect to any shares of Common Stock acquired by a Holder pursuant
to an Award (whether in connection with the grant or purchase of Restricted Stock or shares acquired upon the exercise of vested Options or the settlement of Restricted Stock Units) (“Award Shares”), the Company shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to repurchase all or any portion of the Holder’s Award Shares for a repurchase price determined as follows: 

  
 21 









 (i) If the Holder was deemed a Good Leaver, all of the Holder’s Award Shares can be
repurchased for their Fair Market Value as of the date of repurchase; 
 (ii) If the Holder was deemed a Medium Leaver,
(A) 50% of the Holder’s Award Shares can be repurchased for their Fair Market Value as of the date of repurchase, and (B) 50% of the Holder’s Award Shares can be repurchased for the lesser of (x) the price paid by the Holder
for such Award Shares or (y) the Fair Market Value of such Award Shares as of the date of repurchase; and 
 (iii) If the
Holder was deemed a Bad Leaver, all of the Holder’s Award Shares can be repurchased for the lesser of (x) the price paid by the Holder for such Award Shares or (y) the Fair Market Value of such Award Shares as of the date of
repurchase. 
 9.2 The Company or any of its subsidiaries may exercise its right to purchase such shares of
Common Stock until (a) with respect to any shares of Common Stock that may be received by any Holder following such Holder’s Termination of Relationship upon exercise of any Options that are vested as of the date of the Holder’s
Termination of Relationship, the seven (7) month anniversary of the date of exercise of such Options, (b) with respect to any shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to any Holder pursuant to an Award, the later of (i) the seven
(7) month anniversary of the date such shares first become vested pursuant to such Award or (ii) the
30th day following the date of the Holder’s
Termination of Relationship or (c) with respect to any other shares of Common Stock, the 30th day following the date of the Holder’s Termination of Relationship (such date described in subsection (a), (b) or (c), as applicable, the “Repurchase Date”). On or before the
Repurchase Date, the Company or its applicable subsidiary shall give written notice to Sponsor stating whether it will exercise such purchase rights. If such notice states that the Company and its subsidiaries will not exercise its purchase rights,
Sponsor shall have the right to purchase the shares of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the Company and its subsidiaries until the later of (x) the 30th day following the receipt of such notice or (y) the Repurchase Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Section 9 to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or Sponsor purchase any Award Shares prior to six (6) months and one (1) day following the later of (A) the date such shares were first acquired by the Holder (upon
exercise of Options or otherwise) or (B) the date such shares became vested, as applicable. The Determination Date for purposes of determining the Fair Market Value shall be the closing date of the purchase of the applicable shares, as
described in Section 9.3. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any shares of Common Stock are involuntarily transferred in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement prior to the exercise of the repurchase right pursuant to this
Section 9.2, such shares shall be subject to the repurchase provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement. 
 9.3 The
closing of the purchase of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 9 shall take place on a date designated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries consistent with the terms of Section 9.1 or 9.2. The Company, or one of its
subsidiaries, will pay for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Section 9 by delivery of a check or wire transfer of funds, in exchange for the delivery by the Holder of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock
duly endorsed for transfer to the Company. The Company shall have the right to record such transfer on its books and records without the consent of the Holder, provided the purchase price has been paid. 

  
 22 









 9.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all purchases of
shares of Common Stock by the Company shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in federal law and the Delaware General Corporation Law and in the Company’s and its respective subsidiaries’ debt and equity financing agreements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any such restrictions prohibit or otherwise delay the purchase of the shares of Common Stock hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled or required to make, then the
Company shall make such purchases within thirty (30) days of the date that it is permitted to do so under such restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries may not
effectuate any transaction contemplated by this Section 9 if such transaction would violate the terms of any Material Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that such transaction becomes permissible pursuant to the terms
of such Material Agreement on or prior to the end of the second calendar year quarter beginning on or after the date the Company’s right to purchase shares pursuant to this Section 9 commences, the Company will effectuate such transaction
as of the date that such transaction first becomes permissible under the applicable Material Agreement; and provided, further, that if such transaction does not become permissible on or prior to the end of the second calendar year
quarter beginning on or after the date the Company’s right to purchase shares pursuant to this Section 9 commences, then the Company’s right to repurchase such shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 9 shall expire.

 9.5 In the event that shares of Common Stock are purchased pursuant to this Section 9, the Company, the Sponsor and the
Holder, and their respective successors, assigns or representatives, will use their best efforts to obtain all required third-party, governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and take all other actions necessary and desirable to facilitate
consummation of such repurchase in a timely manner. 
 Section 10. Preemptive Rights. 

10.1 Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 10, the Company hereby grants to each Holder a right of first
offer with respect to future sales by the Company of its Offered Shares (as defined below). 
 10.2 Each time the Company
proposes (i) to offer for sale any shares of, or securities convertible into or exercisable for, any shares of its Common Stock or (ii) to convert any securities held by or purchased by the Sponsor (including, without limitation, in
connection with a refinancing, recapitalization or reorganization) into shares of Common Stock (the shares of Common Stock described in Sections 10.2(i) and (ii) above, the “Offered Shares”) to Sponsor, the Company shall first
make an offering of a pro rata portion of such Offered Shares to each Holder in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (a) The Company shall deliver a notice (a “First Offer Notice”) to the Holder stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Offered Shares, (ii) the number and type of
Offered Shares to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Offered Shares. 

  
 23 









 (b) Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the First Offer
Notice, the Holder may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the First Offer Notice, up to that portion of such Offered Shares which equals the proportion that (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock
(other than Award Shares) issued and held by the Holder bears to (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (as determined on a fully-diluted basis) (such portion, the “Holder Offeree Shares”). The Company
shall be entitled to sell the remaining Offered Shares to Sponsor on terms not more favorable to Sponsor than those contained in the First Offer Notice. 
 (c) To the extent the offer is not accepted in full following the expiration of the period provided in Section 10.2(b), the Company shall deliver a second notice (“Second Offer
Notice”) to the holders of Common Stock that have accepted the Offered Shares pursuant to which each such Holder and/or Sponsor, as applicable, shall have additional preemptive rights to subscribe for the Offered Shares that were not
accepted pursuant to the First Offer Notice, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the ratio of the number of shares of Common Stock (other than Award Shares) held by such accepting holder of Common Stock, to the number of shares of Common
Stock held by all other accepting holders of Common Stock as of such date of determination, which secondary preemptive rights shall be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Company within ten (10) business days following the receipt of
the Second Offer Notice at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable than those, specified in the First Offer Notice. 
 (d) The Company may, during the forty-five (45) day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 10.2(c) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of the Holder
Offeree Shares to Sponsor at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to Sponsor than those, specified in the First Offer Notice. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may issue and sell Offered Shares to Sponsor without first complying with the terms of Sections 10.2(a), 10.2(b) and 10.2(c), provided that within five
(5) business days following such sale the purchasers of such Offered Shares shall offer to sell the portion of such Offered Shares that would have constituted “Holder Offeree Shares” had the Company complied with this
Section 10.2 to each Holder on terms no less favorable to the Holder than those applicable to Sponsor, using a process substantially similar to that set forth in Sections 10.2(a), 10.2(b) and 10.2(c). 

10.3 The term “Offered Shares” shall not include (a) securities offered to the public generally pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) Common Stock (or options therefor) issued or issuable to employees, consultants and directors, pursuant to plans or agreements approved by the Board for the primary purpose of soliciting or
retaining their services, (c) securities issued or issuable pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities that are outstanding as of the date hereof or that are issued in compliance with this Section,
(d) securities issued or issuable to the selling parties in connection with a bona fide, arms-length business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise, approved
by the Board, (e) securities 

  
 24 









 
issued or issuable in arms-length transactions to financial institutions, landlords or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, real estate transactions, equipment financings or
similar transactions, (f) securities issued or issuable pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, combination or like event, or (g) securities issued or issuable to a Person which is not then a stockholder of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, pursuant to a bona fide strategic alliance or partnering arrangement entered into primarily for non-capital raising purposes and approved by the Board. 
 Section 11. Piggy-Back Registration Rights. 
 11.1
Participation. Subject to Section 11.2, if at any time after the date hereof the Company files a Registration Statement (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such Forms or any registration of
securities as it relates to an offering and sale to management of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement) with respect to an offering that includes any shares of Common Stock, whether for its own
account or for the account of Sponsor or any other Person, then the Company shall give to the Holders written notice as promptly as practicable (the “Initial Notice”) and the Holders shall be entitled to include in such Registration
Statement a number of Registrable Securities (as defined in Section 11.6) equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder as of the date such Registration Statement is filed (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, excludes unvested Restricted Stock, Options and Restricted Stock Units) and (y) the ratio of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Registration Statement which are owned by Sponsor to
(ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by Sponsor which are outstanding as of the date such Registration Statement is filed. If the Holders elect to include any such Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement, then
the Company shall give prompt notice (the “Piggy-Back Notice”) to each Holder and each such Holder shall be entitled to include in such Registration Statement such Registrable Securities held by it. The Initial Notice and Piggy-Back
Notice shall offer the Holders the right, subject to Section 11.2 (the “Piggy Back Registration Right”), to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as may be permitted hereunder and as each Holder may request
and shall set forth (a) the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock that is proposed to be included in such Registration Statement. Subject to Section 11.2, the Company shall
include in such Registration Statement such shares of Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests to register such shares within thirty (30) days after the Initial Notice and fifteen (15) days after the Piggy-Back
Notice has been given. 
 11.2 Underwriter’s Cutback. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration pursuant to
this Section 11 involves an Underwritten Offering (as defined in Section 11.6) and the managing underwriter or underwriters of such proposed Underwritten Offering delivers an opinion to the Holders that the total or kind of securities
which such Holders and any other persons or entities intend to include in such offering would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered in such offering, then the Company shall include in
such registration (i) first, 100% of the securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account, and (ii) second, to the extent of the amount of securities which Sponsor and all other Holders have requested to be included in such
registration, which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without such adverse effect 

  
 25 









 
referred to above, such amount to be allocated pro rata among Sponsor and all other Holders based upon the number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holders and
Sponsor (provided, that any securities thereby allocated to Sponsor or a Holder that exceed such Sponsor’s and Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Sponsor and Holders in like manner). 

11.3 Company Control. The Company may decline to file a Registration Statement after giving the Initial Notice or the Piggy-Back
Notice, or withdraw a Registration Statement after filing and after such Piggy-Back Notice, but prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall promptly notify each Holder in writing of any such
action; and provided, further, that the Company shall bear all reasonable expenses incurred by such Holder or otherwise in connection with such withdrawn Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Company
shall have sole discretion to select any and all underwriters that may participate in any Underwritten Offering. 
 11.4
Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved
by the Persons entitled to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-ups and other documents required for such underwriting arrangements;
provided, that any Holder that have securities included in the Registration Statement shall not be required to make any representations, or warranties to or agreements with the Company or underwriter other than representations, warranties or
agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder’s title to the Registrable Securities and such Holder’s intended method of distribution or any other representations, warranties or agreements required to be made by such Holder under
applicable law, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Holder shall not exceed Holder’s net proceeds from such Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that if any additional representations and warranties customarily contained in
underwriting agreements are required of all Persons participating in the Underwritten Offering by the underwriter in such Underwritten Offering and a Holder does not agree to such additional representations and warranties, the Registrable Securities
of such Holder shall not be included in the Underwritten Offering. Nothing in this Section 11.4 shall be construed to create any additional rights regarding the piggyback registration of Registrable Securities in any Person otherwise than as
set forth herein. 
 11.5 Expenses. The Company or Sponsor will pay all registration expenses in connection with each
registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 11; provided, that each Holder shall pay its portion of all applicable underwriting fees, discounts and similar charges, if any, relating to the sale of its
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 11. 
 11.6 Certain
Definitions. For purposes of this Section 11: 
 (a) “Registrable Securities” shall
mean (i) all Initial Purchased Shares, and (ii) all Non-Initial Purchased Shares; provided, however, that any Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (A) a registration statement with respect
to the sale of such Registrable Securities has been declared 

  
 26 









 
effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such registration statement, (B) such
Registrable Securities are distributed pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act or (C) such Registrable Securities shall have been otherwise transferred and new certificates for them not
bearing a legend restricting further transfer under the Securities Act shall have been delivered by the Company; and provided, further, that any securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities shall not thereafter become
Registrable Securities and any security that is issued or distributed in respect of securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities is not a Registrable Security. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.6(a), with
respect to any Registration Statement that registers shares of Common Stock, “Registrable Securities” shall only include shares of Common Stock. 
 (b) “Underwritten Offering” means a sale of shares of Common Stock to an underwriter for reoffering to the public. 

Section 12. Competitive Opportunity. 
 Sponsor and its Affiliates at any time and from time to time may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any and every type and description, independently or with others, including
ones in competition with the Company, with no obligation to offer to the Company or any other Holder the right to participate therein. Sponsor and its Affiliates may invest in, or provide services to, any Person that directly or indirectly competes
with the Company and shall have no obligation to present any business opportunity to the Company or any of its Holders, even if the opportunity is one that the Company might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue
if granted the opportunity to do so. Sponsor and its Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company or any Holder for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that Sponsor or such Affiliates of Sponsor pursue or acquire such
business opportunity, direct such business opportunity to another Person or fail to present such business opportunity to the Company or to any Holders. 
 Section 13. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 13.1 All questions concerning
the construction, interpretation and validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in 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. 
 13.2 Whenever the context requires, the gender of all words used herein shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and the number of all words shall include the singular and plural. 

13.3 This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, the Sponsor(s), the Holders, any spouses of the Holders, and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators and permitted successors and assigns. 

  
 27 









 13.4 This Agreement may be amended or waived from time to time by an instrument in writing
signed by the Company and the Holders having the Required Voting Percentage; provided that any amendment or waiver of this Agreement that adversely and uniquely affects a Holder relative to the other Holders shall require consent of such
Holder and provided, further, that this Agreement may be amended by the Company without the consent of any Holder to cure any ambiguity or to cure, correct or supplement any defective provisions contained herein, or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions hereunder as the Company may deem necessary or advisable so long as such action does not affect adversely the interest of any Holder. 

13.5 This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon: (a) the dissolution of the Company; (b) the occurrence of any event
which reduces the number of Holders to zero in accordance with the terms hereof; or (c) the consummation of a Control Disposition, provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 4.2, 6.3, 10 and 11 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5(c), and shall continue to apply until such date as the Sponsor shall hold less than twenty percent (20%) of Common Stock of the Company. 

13.6 Any Holder who disposes of all of his, her or its Common Stock in conformity with the terms of this Agreement shall cease to be a
party to this Agreement and shall have no further rights and obligations hereunder. 
 13.7 The spouses of the individual
Holders are fully aware of, understand and fully consent and agree to the provisions of this Agreement and its binding effect upon any community property interests or similar marital property interests in the Common Stock they may now or hereafter
own, and agree that the termination of their marital relationship with any Holder for any reason shall not have the effect of removing any Common Stock of the Company otherwise subject to this Agreement from the coverage of this Agreement and that
their awareness, understanding, consent and agreement are evidenced by their signing this Agreement. Furthermore, unless otherwise determined by the Company, each individual Holder agrees to cause his or her spouse (and any subsequent spouse) to
execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement, or an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A or in a form satisfactory to the Company. 
 13.8 Any Disposition or attempted Disposition in breach of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect; provided, that the Company may determine to treat any attempted Disposition in breach of
this Agreement, as an Offer pursuant to Section 2.5. Additionally, Section 4 shall apply to such attempted Disposition; provided, however, that the time periods set forth in that Section shall begin to run as of the date the
Company receives evidence satisfactory to it of such attempted Disposition. In connection with any attempted Disposition in breach of this Agreement, the Company may hold and refuse to transfer any Common Stock or any certificate therefor or any
Note tendered to it for transfer, in addition to and without prejudice to any and all other rights or remedies which may be available to it or the Holders. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or attempted
breach of this Agreement will be inadequate, agrees that each other party to this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any such breach or attempted breach and further agrees to
waive (to the extent legally permissible) any legal conditions required to be met for the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief (including posting any bond in order to obtain equitable relief). 

  
 28 









 13.9 Each individual Holder and his or her spouse, if any, hereby appoints the Company as
their agent and attorney-in-fact to make the Offers required and take all actions necessary under Sections 2.1 through 2.5 and Section 6 on their behalf and to execute any required Adoption Agreement on their behalf, and expressly bind
themselves to such Offers and to the Company’s execution of any such Adoption Agreement without further action on their part, and all such powers of attorney granted herein are deemed to be coupled with an interest in the Common Stock shall
survive the death, disability, bankruptcy or dissolution of such Holder or his or her spouse, if any. 
 13.10 This Agreement
may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. It shall not be necessary in
making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. The failure of any Holder to execute this Agreement does not make it invalid as against any other Holder. 

13.11 Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other
provision or any other jurisdiction, and such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be null and void. It is the intent of the parties, however, that any invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions be automatically
replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

13.12 Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments, and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For the
avoidance of doubt, any consent or approval required by the terms of this Agreement may be given by electronic mail, to the extent permitted by law. 
 13.13 The parties to this Agreement agree that jurisdiction and venue in any action brought by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement shall properly (but not exclusively) lie in any federal or state
court located in the State of Delaware. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties hereto irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts for himself and in respect of his property with respect to such action. The parties hereto
irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in such court, and hereby waive any objection that such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of such action. The parties further agree that the mailing by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested, of any process required by any such court shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court. 

  
 29 









 13.14 No course of dealing between the Company, or its subsidiaries, and the Holders (or any
of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of
such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 
 13.15 BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND
FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OR ARBITRATION,
THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO. 

13.16 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous
agreements among all or some of the parties hereto, whether written, oral or otherwise. Unless otherwise provided herein, any consent required by the Company, a Sponsor or a Holder may be withheld by the Company, such Sponsor or such Holder in its
sole discretion. 
 13.17 No Person not a party to this Agreement, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, shall be entitled
to enforce any rights or remedies under this Agreement. 
 13.18 If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Common Stock
by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be
required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the Common Stock as so changed. 
 13.19 No director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or any Holder as a result of any acts or omissions taken under this Agreement in good faith. 

13.20 Except for Dispositions allowed under Section 4.2 or Section 9, if the Company proposes for any reason to register shares
of Common Stock under the Securities Act, the Holders shall not engage in, or permit a Disposition of, any shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Company for a period as shall be determined by the managing underwriters,
which period cannot last more than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of such registration statement (the “Underwriters Lock-Up Period”). 

13.21 In the event additional shares of Common Stock are issued by the Company to a Holder at any time during the term of this Agreement,
either directly or upon the exercise or exchange of securities of the Company exercisable for or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, such additional shares of Common Stock, as a condition to such issuance, become subject to the terms and
provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 30 









 13.22 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sponsor may assign its
rights or obligations, in whole or in part, under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates. 

  
 31 









 This Agreement is executed by the Company, the Sponsor and by each Holder and spouse of a
Holder to be effective as of the date first above written.
