into this Agreement and carry out its obligations hereunder. Each of the Initial Stockholders hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows: (a) if such Initial Stockholder is an entity, this Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by such Stockholder; (b) this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Initial Stockholder enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; and (c) if such Initial Stockholder is
an entity, the execution, delivery and performance by such Initial Stockholder of this Agreement: (i) does not and will not violate any laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction applicable to such
Initial Stockholder, or require such Initial Stockholder to obtain any approval, consent or waiver of, or to make any filing with, any Person that has not been obtained or made; and (ii) does not constitute a breach of or default under any
material agreement to which such Initial Stockholder is a party. If such Initial Stockholder is a natural person, such person has full capacity to contract. 

2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Stockholders as follows:
(a) the Company has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder; (b) this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement: (i) does not and will not violate any laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction applicable to the
Company, or require the Company to obtain any approval, consent or waiver of, or to make any filing with, any Person that has not been obtained or made; and (ii) does not and will not result in a breach of, constitute a default under,
accelerate any obligation under or give rise to a right of termination of any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, contract, instrument, mortgage, lien, lease, permit, authorization, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or arbitration award to which the Company is a party or by which the property of the Company is bound or affected, or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other
charge or encumbrance on any of the assets or properties of the Company. 
 SECTION III. REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

3.1 Demand and Piggyback Rights. 

(a) Right to Demand a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. Upon the demand of one or more LGP
Stockholders at any time and from time to time after the expiration or waiver of the underwriter lock-up period applicable to the Initial Public Offering, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in
this Agreement a non-shelf registered offering of the Shares requested by the demanding LGP Stockholders to be included in such offering. A demand by LGP Stockholders for a
non-shelf registered offering that will result in the imposition of a lockup on the Company and the Stockholders may not be made unless the Shares requested to be sold by the demanding LGP Stockholders in such
offering have an 

  
 4 













 
aggregate market value (based on the most recent closing price of the Common Stock at the time of the demand) of at least $50 million or such lesser amount if all Shares held by the
demanding LGP Stockholders are requested to be sold. Subject to Section 3.2(e) below, any demanded non-shelf registered offering may, at the Company’s option, include Shares to be sold by the Company
for its own account and will also include Shares to be sold by other Stockholders or other holders of Shares with similar rights that exercise their related piggyback rights on a timely basis. 

(b) Right to Piggyback on a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. In connection with any registered
offering of Common Stock covered by a non-shelf registration statement (whether pursuant to the exercise of demand rights or at the initiative of the Company), the Stockholders may exercise piggyback rights to
have included in such offering Shares held by them. The Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement any such non-shelf registered offering. 

(c) Right to Demand and be Included in a Shelf Registration. Upon the demand of one or more LGP Stockholders, made at any time and from
time to time when the Company is eligible to utilize Form S-3 or a successor form to sell Shares in a secondary offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act,
the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a shelf registration of Shares held by them. Any shelf registration filed by the Company covering Shares (whether pursuant to a LGP Stockholder demand or at the initiative of the
Company) will cover Shares held by each of the Stockholders (regardless of whether they demanded the filing of such shelf or not) up to an equivalent percentage of their original respective holdings as may be agreed upon by the demanding LGP
Stockholders. If at the time of such request the Company is a WKSI, such shelf registration may, at the request of such LGP Stockholders, cover an unspecified number of Shares to be sold by the Company and the Stockholders. 

(d) Demand and Piggyback Rights for Shelf Takedowns. Upon the demand of one or more LGP Stockholders made at any time and from time to
time, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of Shares off of an effective shelf registration statement. In connection with any underwritten shelf takedown (whether pursuant to the exercise of
such demand rights or at the initiative of the Company), the Stockholders may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such takedown Shares held by them that are registered on such shelf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LGP Stockholders may not
demand a shelf takedown for an offering that will result in the imposition of a lockup on the Company and the Stockholders unless the Shares requested to be sold by the demanding Stockholders in such takedown have an aggregate market value (based on
the most recent closing price of the Common Stock at the time of the demand) of at least $50 million or such lesser amount if all Shares held by the demanding LGP Stockholders are requested to be sold. 

(e) Right to Reload a Shelf. Upon the written request of an LGP Stockholder at such time when the Company is not a WKSI, the Company
will file and seek the effectiveness of a post-effective amendment to an existing shelf registration statement in order to register up to the number of Shares previously taken down off of such shelf and not yet “reloaded” onto such shelf
registration statement. 
 (f) Limitations on Demand and Piggyback Rights. 

(i) Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering or takedown will be subject to the
constraints of any applicable lockup arrangements, and such demand must be deferred until such lockup arrangements no longer apply. If a demand has been made for a non-shelf registered offering or for an
underwritten takedown, no further demands may be made so long as the related offering is still being pursued. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Stockholders will not have piggyback or other registration rights with
respect to registered primary offerings by the Company (i) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 promulgated by the SEC or any successor or
similar forms, (ii) where the Shares are not being sold for cash or (iii) where the offering is a bona fide offering of securities other than Shares, even if such securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares.


  
 5 













 (ii) The Stockholders shall not be permitted to sell any securities pursuant
to Section 3.1 at any time that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for sales of securities to be made; provided that all Stockholders shall be treated
consistently in connection with each such determination; and provided further, that the Company shall promptly notify each Stockholder in writing of any such action and provided further, that any such delay may not last more than sixty
(60) days and such delays may not be in effect more than one hundred and twenty (120) days during any three hundred and sixty-five (365) day period. 

3.2 Notices, Cutbacks and Other Matters. 

(a) Notifications Regarding Registration Statements. In order for one or more LGP Stockholders to exercise their right to demand that a
registration statement be filed, they must so notify the Company in writing indicating the number of Shares sought to be registered and the proposed plan of distribution. The Company will use its best efforts to keep the Stockholders reasonably
apprised of all pertinent aspects of its pursuit of any registration, whether pursuant to a LGP Stockholder demand or otherwise, with respect to which a piggyback opportunity is available. Pending any required public disclosure and subject to
applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain the confidentiality of these discussions. 
 (b) Notifications Regarding
Registration Piggyback Rights. Any Stockholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to a non-shelf registration statement must notify the Company and the other Stockholders of the number
of Shares it seeks to have included in such registration statement. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the second trading day prior to (i) if applicable, the date on
which the preliminary prospectus intended to be used in connection with pre-effective marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized, and (ii) in any case, the date on which the
pricing of the relevant offering is expected to occur. No such notice is required in connection with a shelf registration statement, as Shares held by all Stockholders will be included up to the applicable percentage. 

(c) Notifications Regarding Demanded Underwritten Takedowns. 

(i) The Company will use its best efforts to keep the Stockholders reasonably apprised of all pertinent aspects of any
underwritten shelf takedown in order that they may have a reasonable opportunity to exercise their related piggyback rights. Without limiting the Company’s obligation as described in the preceding sentence, having a reasonable opportunity
requires that the Stockholders be notified by the Company of an anticipated underwritten takedown (whether pursuant to a demand made by the LGP Stockholders or made at the Company’s own initiative) no later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on
(i) if applicable, the second trading day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for such
takedown is finalized, and (ii) in all cases, the second trading day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs. 

(ii) Any Stockholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to an underwritten shelf takedown must notify the
Company and the other Stockholders of the number of Shares it seeks to have included in such takedown. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on (i) if applicable, the trading
day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized, and (ii) in all cases, the trading day prior to
the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs. 

  
 6 













 (iii) Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal
requirements, the parties will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective underwritten takedown. 

(d) Plan of Distribution, Underwriters and Counsel. If (i) a majority of the Shares proposed to be sold in an underwritten offering
through a non-shelf registration statement or through a shelf takedown are being sold by the Company for its own account and (ii) such offering was initiated by the Company and not by any LGP Stockholder,
the Company will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters for such offering. Otherwise, the Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares requested to be included in such offering will be entitled to
determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters, and such majority will also be entitled to select counsel for the selling Stockholders (which may be the same as counsel for the Company). In the case of a shelf registration
statement, the plan of distribution will provide as much flexibility as is reasonably possible, including with respect to resales by transferee Stockholders. 

(e) Cutbacks. If the managing underwriters advise the Company and the selling Stockholders that, in their opinion, the number of Shares
requested to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the amount that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the Shares being offered, such offering will include only the number of Shares that the
underwriters advise can be sold in such offering. 
 (i) In the case of a registered offering upon the demand of one or more
LGP Stockholders, the selling Stockholders (including those Stockholders exercising piggyback rights pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) collectively will have first priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of Shares
initially requested by them to be included in such offering. To the extent of any remaining capacity, all other stockholders having similar registration rights will have second priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of
Shares initially requested by them to be included in such offering. To the extent of any remaining capacity, the Company will have third priority. Except as contemplated by the immediately preceding three sentences, other selling stockholders (other
than transferees to whom a Stockholder has assigned its rights under this Agreement) will be included in an underwritten offering only with the consent of Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares being sold in such offering. 

(ii) In the case of a registered offering upon the initiative of the Company, the Company will have first priority. To the
extent of any remaining capacity, the selling Stockholders as a group, on the one hand, and all other stockholders having similar registration rights as a group, on the other hand, will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of Shares
initially requested by such group to be included in such offering. The selling Stockholders will be subject to cutback pro rata, based on the number of Shares initially requested by them to be included in such offering. Except as contemplated by the
immediately preceding sentence, other stockholders (other than transferees to whom a Stockholder has assigned its rights under this Agreement) will be included in an underwritten offering only with the consent of a LGP Majority Interest. 

(f) Withdrawals. Even if Shares held by a LGP Stockholder have been part of a registered underwritten offering, such LGP Stockholder
may, no later than the time at which the public offering price and underwriters’ discount are determined with the managing underwriter, decline to sell all or any portion of the Shares being offered for its account. 

  
 7 













 (g) Lockups. In connection with any underwritten offering of Shares, the Company and
each participating Stockholder hereby agree to be bound by the underwriting agreement’s lockup restrictions (which must apply, and continue to apply, in like manner to all of them) that are agreed to (a) by the Company, if a majority of
the Shares being sold in such offering are being sold for its account or (b) by LGP Stockholders holding a majority of Shares being sold by all LGP Stockholders, if a majority of the Shares being sold in such offering are being sold by LGP
Stockholders, as applicable. 
 (h) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with any registration statement or registered
offering covering Shares held by Stockholders, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel (provided that the Company shall only be responsible for the fees and disbursements
of one outside counsel for all of the Stockholders) and of the independent certified public accountants, and the expense of qualifying such Shares under state blue sky laws, will be borne by the Company. However, underwriters’, brokers’
and dealers’ discounts and commissions applicable to Shares sold for the account of a Stockholder will be borne by such Stockholder. 

3.3 Facilitating Registrations and Offerings. 

(a) General. If the Company becomes obligated under this Agreement to facilitate a registration and offering of Shares on behalf of the
Stockholders, the Company will do so with the same degree of care and dispatch as would reasonably be expected in the case of a registration and offering by the Company of Shares for its own account. Without limiting this general obligation, the
Company will fulfill its specific obligations as described in this Section 3.3. 
 (b) Registration Statements. In connection
with each registration statement that is demanded by the LGP Stockholders or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will: 

(i) prepare and file (or confidentially submit) with the SEC a registration statement covering the applicable Shares,
(ii) prepare and file (or confidentially submit) such amendments or supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period ending
when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement (but not in any event before the
expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten public offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to
be delivered in connection with the sale of Shares by an underwriter or dealer), (iii) seek the effectiveness thereof, and (iv) file with the SEC prospectuses and prospectus supplements as may be required, all in consultation with the LGP
Stockholders and as reasonably necessary in order to permit the offer and sale of the such Shares in accordance with the applicable plan of distribution; 

(ii) (1) within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any registration statement, any prospectus, any amendment to a
registration statement, amendment or supplement to a prospectus or any free writing prospectus, provide copies of such documents to the selling Stockholders and to the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering, if applicable, and to
their respective counsel; fairly consider such reasonable changes in any such documents prior to or after the filing thereof as the counsel to the Stockholders or the underwriter or the underwriters may request; and make such of the representatives
of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Stockholders or any underwriter available for discussion of such documents; 

  
 8 













 (2) within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any document which is to
be incorporated by reference into a registration statement or a prospectus, provide copies of such document to counsel for the Stockholders and underwriters; fairly consider such reasonable changes in such document prior to or after the filing
thereof as counsel for such Stockholders or such underwriter shall request; and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by such counsel available for discussion of such document; 

(iii) cause each registration statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective
date of such registration statement, amendment or supplement and during the distribution of the registered Shares (x) to comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and
(y) not to contain any 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; 

(iv) notify each Stockholder promptly, and, if requested by such Stockholder, confirm such advice in writing, (i) when a
registration statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective if such registration statement or post-effective amendment is not automatically effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462
under the Securities Act, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation or threatening of
any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if, between the effective date of a registration statement and the closing of any sale of securities covered thereby pursuant to any agreement to which the Company is a party, the representations and
warranties of the Company contained in such agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or
the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) of the happening of any event during the period a registration statement is effective as a result of which such registration statement or the related prospectus contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, if required by applicable law, prepare and file a supplement or amendment to such
registration statement or prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Shares registered thereby, such registration statement or prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 (v) furnish counsel for each underwriter, if any, and for the
Stockholders copies of any correspondence with the SEC or any state securities authority relating to the registration statement or prospectus; 

(vi) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including making available to its security holders

(vii) use all reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement
at the earliest possible time;

 (c) Non-Shelf Registered Offerings and Shelf
Takedowns. In connection with any non-shelf registered offering or shelf takedown that is demanded by the LGP Stockholders or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will: 

(i) cooperate with the selling Stockholders and the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of
Shares, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Shares to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Shares to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the
governing documents thereof) and registered in such names as the selling Stockholders or the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Shares, if any, may reasonably request at least five days prior to any sale of such
Shares; 
 (ii) furnish to each Stockholder and to each underwriter, if any, participating in the relevant offering, without
charge, as many copies of the applicable prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Stockholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public
sale or other disposition of the Shares; the Company hereby consents to the use of the prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, by each such Stockholder and underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares covered by the
prospectus or the preliminary prospectus; 
 (iii) (i) use all reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Shares
being offered and sold, no later than the time the applicable registration statement becomes effective, under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as each underwriter, if any, or any Stockholder holding
Shares covered by a registration statement, shall reasonably request; (ii) use all reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective;
(iii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set
forth in the registration statement and (iv) do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such underwriter, if any, and Stockholder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of
such Shares owned by such Stockholder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to consent to be
subject to general service of process (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Shares in connection therewith) in any such jurisdiction; 

(iv) cause all Shares being sold to be qualified for inclusion in or listed on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which
the Common Stock is then so qualified or listed; 
 (v) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter in an underwritten offering; 

(vi) use all reasonable efforts to facilitate the distribution and sale of any Shares to be offered pursuant to this Agreement,
including without limitation by making road show presentations, holding meetings with and making calls to potential investors and taking such other actions as shall be requested by the Stockholders or the lead managing underwriter of an underwritten
offering; and 

  
 10 













 (vii) enter into customary agreements (including, in the case of an
underwritten offering, underwriting agreements in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form and consistent with the provisions relating to indemnification and contribution contained
herein) and take all other customary and appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Shares and in connection therewith: 

(1) make such representations and warranties to the selling Stockholders and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are
customarily made by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten offerings; 
 (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates
thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the lead managing underwriter, if any) addressed to each selling Stockholder and the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily
covered in opinions requested in sales of securities or underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Stockholders and underwriters; 

(3) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Company’s independent certified public accountants addressed to
the selling Stockholders, if permissible, and the underwriters, if any, which letters shall be customary in form and shall cover matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters to underwriters in connection with primary
underwritten offerings; 
 (4) to the extent requested by the LGP Shareholders, cause the Company’s directors and executive officers to
enter into lock-up agreements in customary form; and 
 (5) to the extent requested and customary
for the relevant transaction, enter into a securities sales agreement with the Stockholders providing for, among other things, the appointment of such representative as agent for the selling Stockholders for the purpose of soliciting purchases of
Shares, which agreement shall be customary in form, substance and scope and shall contain customary representations, warranties and covenants. 

The above shall be done at such times as customarily occur in similar registered offerings or shelf takedowns. 

(d) Due Diligence. In connection with each registration and offering of Shares to be sold by Stockholders, the Company will, in
accordance with customary practice, make available for inspection by representatives of the Stockholders participating in such offering and underwriters and any counsel or accountant retained by such Stockholder or underwriters all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause appropriate officers, managers and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter,
counsel or accountant in connection with their due diligence exercise. 
 (e) Information from Stockholders. Each Stockholder that
holds Shares covered by any registration statement will furnish to the Company such information regarding itself as is required to be included in the registration statement, the ownership of Shares by such Stockholder and the proposed distribution
by such Stockholder of such Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

 3.4 Indemnification. 

(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration under the Securities Act by any registration statement pursuant to
rights granted in this Agreement of Shares held by the Stockholders, the Company will hold harmless the Stockholders and each underwriter of such securities and each other person, if any, who controls any Stockholder or such underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (including legal fees and costs of court), joint or several, to which the Stockholders or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or any actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (i) contained, on its
effective date, in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) contained in any preliminary prospectus, if used prior to the effective date of such registration statement, or in the final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the SEC any amendment or supplement to the final prospectus), or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission (if so used) to state a material fact
required to be stated in such prospectus or necessary to make the statements in such prospectus not misleading; and will reimburse the Stockholders and each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, or liability; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Stockholder or its underwriters or controlling persons in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or such amendment or supplement, in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by the Stockholders or such underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof. 

(b) Indemnification by the Stockholders. Each Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same
extent as set forth in Section 3.4(a)) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign the registration statement, and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act,
(i) with respect to any statement or omission from such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement to it, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a
written instrument duly executed by such Stockholder specifically regarding such Stockholder for use in the preparation of such registration statement or amendment or supplement, and (ii) with respect to compliance by such Stockholder with
applicable laws in effecting the sale or other disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement. 
 (c)
Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 3.4(a) and Section 3.4(b), the indemnified party will, if a resulting
claim is to be made or may be made against and indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of the action. The failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations in this Section 3.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. If any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in and to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume defense of the action, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in connection with the action’s defense. An indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action
or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such indemnified party’s expense unless (a) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the
indemnifying party, which 

  
 12 













 
authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within 30 days
after notice of any such action or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been
advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right
to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to all local counsel which is necessary, in the
good faith opinion of both counsel for the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party in order to adequately represent the indemnified parties) for the indemnified party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they
are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Whether or not a defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent. No indemnifying
party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff, to the indemnified party, of a release from all liability in respect of such
claim or litigation or (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the indemnified party. 

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification required by this Section 3.4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any indemnifiable losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefit of the indemnifying and indemnified parties and (ii) if the allocation in clause (i) is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) and also the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties, in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damage, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably
incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Company and the Stockholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or
by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the prior provisions of this Section 3.4(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.4(d), no indemnifying party shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities were offered to the public by the indemnifying party exceeds the amount of any damages which the indemnifying party has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of an untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such a fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (e) Non-Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification and
contribution provided for under this Agreement will be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract (and the Company and its subsidiaries shall be considered the
indemnitors of first resort in all such circumstances to which this Section 3 applies) and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or
controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of Shares and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 3.5 Rule 144. If the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act but is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of LGP Stockholder, make publicly available such information) and it will take such further action as any Stockholder may reasonably request, so as to enable such
Stockholder to sell Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or
regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Stockholder, the Company will deliver to such Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 

SECTION IV. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 
 4.1
Board of Directors. 
 (a) Composition of Initial Board. As of the Closing, the Board of Directors shall be comprised of seven
(7) directors, the following five (5) of whom shall be deemed to have been designated by the LGP Stockholders (each, a “LGP Director”): Wade Miquelon, Darrell Webb, Lily Chang, Jonathan Sokoloff and John Yoon. The
foregoing directors shall be divided into three classes of directors, each of whose members shall serve for staggered three-year terms as follows: 

(i) the class I directors shall initially include Wade Miquelon and Darrell Webb; 

(ii) the class II directors shall initially include Lily Chang; and 

(iii) the class III directors shall initially include John Yoon and Jonathan Sokoloff. 

The initial term of the class I directors shall expire immediately following the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders at which
directors are elected. The initial term of the class II directors shall expire immediately following the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected. The initial term of the class III directors shall expire
immediately following the Company’s 2024 annual meeting at which directors are elected. 
 (b) LGP Stockholders’
Representation. For so long as the LGP Stockholders hold, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Common Stock representing at least the percentages shown below of shares of Common Stock held in the aggregate by the LGP Stockholders following
the consummation of all sales of Common Stock contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Company shall take all Necessary Action to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors for election as directors at each
applicable annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected that number of individuals designated by the LGP Stockholders (each, a “LGP Stockholders’ Designee”) that, if elected, will result in the
number of LGP Directors serving on the Board of Directors that is shown below. 

  
 14 














			
	 Percentage
	 	 Number of Directors

	50% or greater	 	5
	Less than 50% but greater than or equal to 40%	 	4
	Less than 40% but greater than or equal to 30%	 	3
	Less than 30% but greater than or equal to 20%	 	2
	Less than 20% but greater than or equal to 10%	 	1
	Less than 10%	 	0

 Upon any decrease in the number of directors that the LGP Stockholders are entitled to designate for election
to the Board of Directors, the LGP Stockholders shall, upon request from the Company, use their reasonable best efforts to cause the appropriate number of LGP Stockholders’ Designees to offer to tender his or her resignation. If such
resignation is then accepted by the Board of Directors, the Company shall cause the size of the Board of Directors to be reduced accordingly unless the Company, with the approval of a majority of the remaining Directors, determines not to reduce the
authorized size of the Board of Directors, in which case the Board of Directors shall act in accordance with the bylaws of the Company then in effect to appoint or nominate a new director to the Board of Directors. 

(c) Additional Obligations. An individual designated by the LGP Stockholders for election (including pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) as
a director shall comply with any applicable requirements of the charter for, and related guidelines of, any committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating directors (such committee, a “Nominating Committee”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, in the event that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that its nomination, appointment or election of a particular LGP
Stockholders’ Designee pursuant to this Section 4.1 would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders or does not otherwise comply with any requirements of the charter for, or related guidelines of, the
Nominating Committee, then the Board of Directors shall inform the LGP Stockholders of such determination in writing and explain in reasonable detail the basis for such determination and shall designate another individual designated for nomination,
election or appointment to the Board of Directors by the LGP Stockholders (subject in each case to this Section 4.1(c)), and the Board of Directors and the Company shall take all of the actions required by this Section 4 with respect to
the election of such substitute LGP Stockholders’ Designee. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the fact that a particular LGP Stockholders’ Designee is an Affiliate, director, professional, partner, member, manager, employee or
agent of the LGP Stockholders or is not an independent director shall not in and of itself constitute an acceptable basis for such determination by the Board of Directors. 

(d) Vacancies. Except as provided in Section 4.1(b), with respect to decreases in ownership of the LGP Stockholders, (i) the
LGP Stockholders shall have the exclusive right to request the removal of LGP Stockholders’ Designees from the Board of Directors in accordance with the bylaws of the Company then in effect, and the Company shall take all Necessary Action to
cause the removal (whether for or without cause) of any such LGP Stockholders’ Designee at the request of the LGP Stockholders and (ii) the LGP Stockholders shall have the exclusive right to designate directors for election to the Board of
Directors to fill vacancies (for the remainder of the then current term) created by reason of death, disability, removal or resignation of LGP Stockholders’ Designees to the Board of Directors, and the Company shall take all Necessary Action to
cause any such vacancies to be filled by replacement directors designated by the LGP Stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable. 

  
 15 













 (e) Committees. In accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation
and bylaws, (i) the Board shall establish and maintain an audit committee of the Board, as well as all other committees of the Board required in accordance with applicable Laws and stock exchange regulations, and (ii) the Board may from
time to time by resolution establish and maintain other committees of the Board. Subject to applicable laws and stock exchange regulations, and subject to requisite independence requirements applicable to such committee, the LGP Stockholders shall
have the right to have one (1) LGP Director appointed to serve on each committee of the Board for so long as the LGP Stockholders has the right to designate at least one (1) director for nomination to the Board. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the Company agrees to take all Necessary Action to have at least one (1) LGP Director appointed to serve on each committee of the Board (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange regulations).

 4.2 Agreement of Company. The Company hereby agrees that it will take all Necessary Actions to cause the matters addressed by this
Section 4 to be carried out in accordance with the provisions thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Secretary of the Company or such other officer or employee of the Company who may be fulfilling the duties of the Secretary, shall not
record any vote or consent or other action contrary to the terms of this Section 4. 
 SECTION V. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

5.1 Access Rights. The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, auditors and other agents to
(a) afford the LGP Stockholders and their officers, employees, auditors and other agents, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, at all reasonable times access to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ officers,
employees, auditors, legal counsel, properties, offices, plants and other facilities and to all books and records, and (b) afford the LGP Stockholders and their officers, employees, auditors and other agents the opportunity to discuss the
affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with their respective officers from time to time as each such LGP Stockholder may reasonably request, in each case, until such time as such LGP Stockholder shall cease to own any
Shares. 
 5.2 Confidentiality. Each Stockholder agrees that it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any
purpose, other than to monitor its investment in the Company and its subsidiaries, any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to Section 5.1, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the
public in general (other than as a result of a breach of any confidentiality obligation by such Stockholder or its affiliates), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by such Stockholder without use of or reliance on the
Company’s confidential information or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to such Stockholder by a third party (other than an Affiliate of such Stockholder) without a breach of any confidentiality obligations such third party may
have to the Company that is known to such Stockholder; provided, that, a Stockholder may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants and other professional advisors to the extent necessary to
obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company, (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Shares from such Stockholder as long as such prospective purchaser executes a confidentiality agreement with the
Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, (iii) to any Affiliate, partner, member, limited partners, prospective partners or related investment fund of such Stockholder and their respective directors, employees, consultants
and representatives, in each case in the ordinary course of business (provided that the recipients of such confidential information are subject to a customary confidentiality and non-disclosure obligation, and
provided further that Stockholder will remain liable to the Company for any breaches of confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations by such persons), or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law or legal, judicial or regulatory process. 

  
 16 













 5.3 Reliance. Each covenant and agreement made by a party in this Agreement or in any
certificate, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement is material, shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the other parties and shall remain operative and in full force and effect after the Effective Time regardless of
any investigation. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

5.4 Access to Agreement; Amendment and Waiver; Actions of the Board. For so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, this Agreement
shall be made available for inspection by any Stockholder at the principal executive offices of the Company. Any party may waive in writing any provision hereof intended for its benefit, provided, that, in the case of any waiver by the Company, such
waiver is consented to in writing by the LGP Majority Interest. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to any party at law or in equity or otherwise. This Agreement may be amended only with the prior written consent of the LGP Majority Interest and the Company. Any consent given as provided in
the preceding sentence shall be binding on all parties. Further, with the prior written consent of the LGP Majority Interest and the Company, at any time hereafter Permitted Transferees may be made parties hereto, with any such additional parties

any further action of any other party hereto.

5.6 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and delivered via facsimile,

 5.10 Governing Law. This Agreement
is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would

shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and the respective successors and assigns of the parties as contemplated herein. Any successor to the Company by way of merger or otherwise must specifically agree to be bound by the

located in Wilmington, Delaware to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the negotiation, breach,
validity, termination or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and agrees that it will not bring any such action in any court other than the federal or state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. Each
party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding in such courts based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue in such courts and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim that such
courts are an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given as provided in Section 5.5. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his
submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto. The choice of forum set forth in this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any
judgment of a Delaware federal or state court, or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce such a judgment, in any other appropriate jurisdiction. 

(b) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

Shares held by any Stockholder promptly upon request by such Stockholder if such legend is not, in the reasonable determination of the Company upon the advice of legal counsel, required to comply with applicable securities laws; provided that the
Company may require an opinion of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company prior to any such removal other than in connection with a transfer made pursuant to an effective registration statement.
