 ARTICLE II 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

Section 2.1 Exchange Registration. 

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC prior to the time that Partnership Units
held by Covered Persons become eligible for exchange pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement and cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC promptly thereafter, one or more registration statements (the
“Exchange Registration”) covering (i) the delivery by the Company from time to time to the Covered Persons of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be deliverable to the Covered Persons in exchange for
Partnership Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement assuming that all Partnership Units held by Covered Persons were exchanged for the Stock Amount or (ii) if the Company determines that the registration provided for in clause (i) is not
available for any reason, the registration of resale of such shares of Class A Common Stock by the Covered Persons. 

(b) The Company shall be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Exchange Registration, regardless
of whether such registration becomes effective. 
 (c) Upon notice to each Covered Person, the Company may postpone effecting
a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 90 days, if (i) the Board shall determine in good faith that effecting the registration would materially and adversely affect an
offering of securities of the Company the preparation of which had then been commenced or (ii) the Company 

  
 5 








 
is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the period specified in such notice the Board believes in good faith would not be in the best interests of the
Company. 
 Section 2.2 Demand Registration. 

(a) To the extent one or more Covered Persons have delivered Elections of Exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement in respect of any
Quarterly Exchange Date covering Partnership Units having an aggregate market value (based on the most recent closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the securities exchange on which such Class A Common Stock is listed
at the time of the applicable Demand Notice (as defined below)) of at least $75 million, the Demand Committee shall have the right at any time prior to the applicable Cut-Off Date to provide a written request to the Company (a “Demand
Notice”) that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, (x) the offer and sale by such Covered Persons of Registrable Securities that the Company shall deliver
to such Covered Persons, at or prior to the settlement of such offering, in exchange for the Partnership Units that are the subject of such Elections of Exchange at the applicable Exchange Rate or (y) the offer and sale by the Company of a
number of shares of Class A Common Stock (“Primary Issuance Funding Securities”) equal to the product of the number of Partnership Units that are the subject of such Elections of Exchange multiplied by the Exchange Rate, the
net proceeds of which issuance (determined after deduction of any underwriting discounts and commissions, but not of any other offering expenses, including Registration Expenses) the Company shall use to acquire from such Covered Persons the
Partnership Units that are the subject of such Elections of Exchange (a “Demand Registration”), whereupon the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, subject to
paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.2, such registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities for which the Demand Committee has requested registration under this
Section 2.2, all to the extent necessary to permit the offer and sale (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities to be so registered; provided, however,
that the Company will not be obligated to effect any such requested registration within 180 days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration. The public offering price for any Public Offering of Primary Issuance Funding Securities
shall be determined as mutually agreed upon between the Company and the lead managing underwriters of such a Public Offering. Each Demand Notice delivered pursuant to this section 2.2(a) shall include the information set forth under
Section 2.5(j) to the extent applicable. The Company shall inform the Demand Committee immediately upon request of the number of Partnership Units in respect of which Covered Persons have delivered Elections of Exchange for any Quarterly
Exchange Date. 
 (b) At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a Demand Registration, the Demand
Committee may revoke such Demand Notice by providing a notice to the Company revoking such Demand Notice. The Company shall be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand Registration. 

  
 6 








 (c) If a Demand Registration involves a Public Offering and the sole or managing underwriters
advise the Company that, in their view, the number of Registrable Securities, Primary Issuance Funding Securities and/or other securities that the Company and such Covered Persons intend to include in such registration exceeds the largest number of
Registrable Securities, Primary Issuance Funding Securities and/or other securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the
marketability thereof (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the Company shall include in such registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: 

(i) first, all Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities requested to be registered in the Demand
Registration by the Demand Committee (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, in such proportions as shall be determined by the Demand Committee); 

(ii) second, any securities other than Primary Issuance Funding Securities proposed to be registered by the Company for its own
account and any securities entitled to Other Registration Rights requested to be registered by the holders thereof, ratably among the Company and the holders of such Other Registration Rights, based (A) as between the Company and the holders of
such Other Registration Rights, on the respective amounts of securities requested to be registered, and (B) as among the holders of such Other Registration Rights, on the respective amounts of securities subject to such Other Registration
Rights held by each such holder. 
 (d) Upon notice to the Demand Committee, the Company may postpone filing (but not the preparation of) a
registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 for a reasonable time not exceeding 60 days thereafter or 90 days in any 365-day period, if (i) the Board or a committee of the Board shall determine in good faith that the filing of such
registration statement or effecting a registration would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of the Company the preparation of which had then been commenced or (ii) the Company is in possession of material non-public
information the disclosure of which, during the period specified in such notice the Board or a committee of the Board believes in good faith, would not be in the best interests of the Company, or would have a material adverse effect on any active
proposal by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition, merger, consolidation, tender offer, other business combination, reorganization, securities offering or other material transaction. 

Section 2.3 Piggyback Registration. 

(a) Subject to any contractual obligations to the contrary, if the Company proposes at any time to register any of the equity
securities issued by it under the Securities Act (other than (i) an Exchange Registration, (ii) a registration statement filed in connection with a Primary Issuance Funding under the Exchange Agreement, (iii) a registration on Form
S-8 or any successor form relating to Class A Common Stock issuable in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company, (iv) a registration on Form S-4 or any successor form in connection with a direct or indirect


  
 7 








 
acquisition by the Company of another person or as a recapitalization or reclassification of securities of the Company, (v) a registration in connection with any dividend reinvestment or
similar plan, or (vi) a registration in which the only common stock being registered is common stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall
each such time give prompt notice at least 10 business days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration to the Demand Committee, which notice shall offer the Demand Committee the opportunity to
elect to require that the Company register in such registration statement (x) the number of Registrable Securities of the same class or series as those proposed to be registered as the Demand Committee may request or (y) in the
Company’s sole and absolute discretion, Primary Issuance Funding Securities of the same class or series as those proposed to be registered in such amount (a “Piggyback Registration”), subject to the provisions of
Section 2.3(b). If the Demand Committee elects to effect a Piggyback Registration, the Company shall give notice of the registration statement relating to such registration to those Covered Persons whom the Demand Committee determines to afford
participation in the Piggyback Registration. Upon the request of the Demand Committee, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance
Funding Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by the Demand Committee, to the extent necessary to permit the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities to be so registered;
provided that (i) if such registration involves a Public Offering and the Company has elected to register the offer and sale by Covered Persons of Registrable Securities rather than the offer and sale by the Company of Primary Issuance
Funding Securities, all such Covered Persons to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company or any other
selling person, as applicable, and (ii) if, at any time after giving notice of its intention to register any securities pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with
such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company shall give notice of such determination to the Demand Committee and, thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation
to register any Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities in connection with such registration, or shall be permitted to delay registration of such securities, as the case may be. No registration effected under this
Section 2.3 shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect an Exchange Registration or Demand Registration to the extent required by Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, respectively. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with each Piggyback Registration. 

  
 8 








 (b) Subject to Section 2.2(c) and any other contractual obligations to the
contrary, if a Piggyback Registration involves a Public Offering and the sole or managing underwriters advise the Company that, in their view, the number of Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities that the Company and such
Covered Persons intend to include in such registration exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, the Company shall include in such registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: 

(i) first, (A) where the Public Offering is initiated by the Company, any securities other than Primary Issuance Funding
Securities proposed to be registered by the Company for its own account or (B) where the Public Offering is an underwritten secondary registration initiated by holders of Other Registration Rights (such holders, the “Initiating
Holders”), any securities proposed to be registered pursuant to any demand registration rights of such Initiating Holders; 

(ii) second, (A) where the Public Offering is initiated by the Company, (x) any Registrable Securities or Primary
Issuance Funding Securities requested to be registered by the Demand Committee and (y) any Company securities entitled to Other Registration Rights that are pari passu with the Piggyback Registration rights of Covered Persons hereunder
requested to be registered by the holders thereof, ratably among the participating Covered Persons and holders of such Other Registration Rights based on the respective amounts of securities each has requested to be included or (B) where the
Public Offering is an underwritten secondary registration initiated by holders of Other Registration Rights, (x) any Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities requested to be registered by the Demand Committee, (y) any
Company securities (other than those held by the Initiating Holders) entitled to Other Registration Rights that are pari passu with the Piggyback Registration rights of Covered Persons hereunder requested to be registered by the holders
thereof and (z) any securities other than Primary Issuance Funding Securities proposed to be registered by the Company for its own account, ratably among the Company, such participating Covered Persons and such holders of Other Registration
Rights based on the respective amounts of securities the Company has proposed to include and the Demand Committee and such holders of Other Registration Rights have requested to be included; and 

(iii) third, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other persons with such priorities among them as
the Company shall determine. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, no
provision relating to the registration of Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities shall be construed as permitting any Covered Person to effect a transfer of securities, including shares of Class A Common Stock or
Partnership Units, that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of any agreement between such Covered Person and the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Unless the Company shall otherwise consent, the Company shall not be obligated to provide notice or
afford Piggyback Registration to any Covered Person pursuant to this Section 2.3 unless some or all of such person’s Registrable Securities are permitted to be transferred under the terms of applicable agreements between such person and
the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 
 (d) In connection with a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3,
a participating Covered Person will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to such Covered Person’s Registrable
Securities or Covered 

  
 9 








 
Partnership Units (in the case of a registration of Primary Issuance Funding Securities) to be sold in connection with such Piggyback Registration and such other agreements as the Company may
reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 2.3. 
 Section 2.4 Lock-Up Agreements. The Company
and each Covered Person agree, and the Company will cause its Directors and each of its “officers,” as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act (the “Officers”) to agree, that in connection with any Public Offering of
Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities, if so requested by the lead managing underwriters in any Public Offering, the Company will not and each Covered Person, without the written consent of the Demand Committee, will not
(x) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any
of the securities being registered or any securities convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities or (y) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences
of ownership of the securities being registered or any securities convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (except, in each case, as part of such Public Offering), during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”),
subject to customary exceptions as may be agreed among the Company, each of its Directors and each of its Officers and the lead managing underwriters of such Public Offering, beginning 14 days prior to the effective date of the applicable
registration statement until the earlier of (i) such time as the Company and the lead managing underwriters shall agree and (ii) 180 days following the pricing of such Public Offering. 

Section 2.5 Registration Procedures. In connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration pursuant to Sections 2.2
or 2.3, subject to the provisions of such Sections, the paragraphs below shall be applicable, and in connection with any Exchange Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, paragraphs (a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (k), (l) and (n) below shall
be applicable: 
 (a) The Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably practicable prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or that counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the registration of the Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding
Securities, as the case may be, to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filed registration statement to become and remain effective for a
period of not less than 40 days, or in the case of an Exchange Registration until all of the Registrable Securities of the Covered Persons included in any such registration statement (each, a “Registering Covered Person”) shall have
actually been exchanged thereunder. 
 (b) Prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto, the Company shall, if requested, furnish to each Registering Covered Person, if any, and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities covered by such registration statement copies
of such registration statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter the Company shall furnish to such Registering Covered Person, if any, and underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement
thereto (in each case 

  
 10 








 
including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary
prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 or Rule 430A under the Securities Act and such other documents as such Registering Covered Person, if any, or underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of the applicable Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities. Each Registering Covered Person, if any, shall have the right to request that the Company modify any information contained in such registration statement,
amendment and supplement thereto pertaining to such Registering Covered Person and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such request, provided, however, that the Company shall not have any obligation to so modify
any information if the Company reasonably expects that so doing would cause the prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading. 
 (c) After the filing of the registration statement, the Company shall (i) cause the related
prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities, as applicable, covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such registration statement or
supplement to such prospectus and (iii) promptly notify each Registering Covered Person, if any, holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC suspending the
effectiveness of such registration statement or any state securities commission and take all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of such stop order or to obtain the withdrawal of such order if entered. 

(d) To the extent any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) is used, the
Company shall file with the SEC any free writing prospectus that is required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act and retain any free writing prospectus not required to be filed. 

(e) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities or
Primary Issuance Funding Securities, as applicable, covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Registering Covered Person holding any such
Registrable Securities or each underwriter, if any, reasonably (in light of such member’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities, as applicable, to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable any such Registering Covered Person to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such person, or, in the case of Primary Issuance Funding Securities, to permit the offer and sale by the Company of such Primary Issuance
Funding Securities; provided, in each case, that the Company shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in 

  
 11 








 
any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 2.5(e), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction. 
 (f) If, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act to purchasers of Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities, there shall occur an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of
Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, the Company shall immediately notify each Registering Covered Person, if any, or each underwriter, if any, of the occurrence of such event and promptly prepare and make available to each such Registering Covered Person, if any, or
underwriter, if any, and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment. 
 (g) The Demand Committee shall select an
underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Public Offering, except in connection with Piggyback Registrations. In connection with any Public Offering, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in
customary form and reasonably acceptable to the Company) and take such all other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities, as applicable,
in any such Public Offering, including if necessary the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with FINRA. 

(h) Subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements satisfactory in form and substance to the Company in the exercise of
its good faith judgment, pursuant to the reasonable request of the Demand Committee or underwriter (if any), the Company will give to each Registering Covered Person (if any), each underwriter (if any) and their respective counsel and accountants
(i) reasonable and customary access to its books and records and (ii) such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its directors, officers, employees, counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified its
financial statements, as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Registering Covered Person or underwriters, to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility. 

(i) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to each such underwriter, if any, a signed
counterpart, addressed to such underwriters, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering
such matters of the kind customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as such underwriters reasonably request. 

(j) Each Registering Covered Person, if any, registering securities under Sections 2.2 or 2.3 shall promptly furnish in writing
to the Company the information set forth in Appendix A and such other information regarding itself and the distribution of 

  
 12 








 
the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required or advisable in connection with such registration. 

(k) Each Registering Covered Person, if any, and each underwriter, if any, agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.5(f), such Registering Covered Person or underwriters shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities, as
applicable, pursuant to the registration statement covering such securities until such Registering Covered Person’s or underwriter’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.5(f),
provided, however, that for a reasonable time not exceeding 60 days thereafter or 90 days in any 365-day period (the “Suspension Period”) the Company may suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement,
if the Company’s Board determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the period specified in such notice the Company believes in good faith would not be
in the best interests of the Company. If the Company imposes a Suspension Period pursuant to this Section 2.5(k), it shall provide written notice of the same to the Demand Committee, each Registering Covered Person, if any, and each
underwriter, if any, and specifying the length of such Suspension Period, and, if so directed by the Company, such Registering Covered Person, if any, or underwriter shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than any permanent file copies then
in such Registering Covered Person’s or underwriter’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give
such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective (including the period referred to in Section 2.5(a)) by the number of days during the period from and including the date
that the use of such registration statement was first suspended pursuant to this Section 2.5(k) to the date when the Company shall file with the SEC a prospectus supplemented or amended to conform with the requirements of Section 2.5(f).

 (l) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to list all Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance
Funding Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange or quotation system on which any of the Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities are then listed or traded. 

(m) The Company shall cause appropriate officers of the Company or the Partnership to (i) prepare and make presentations
at any “road shows” and before analysts and rating agencies, as the case may be, (ii) take other actions to obtain ratings for any Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities, as applicable, and (iii) otherwise
use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities. 

(n) The Company shall facilitate the timely delivery of the Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities to be
sold, which shall not bear any 

  
 13 








 
restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names as such Registering Covered
Persons, if any, or the underwriters, if any, may reasonably request at least two business days prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities or Primary Issuance Funding Securities. 

Section 2.6 Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities of the Company under
the Securities Act pursuant to this Article II, the Company will, and it hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, a Registering Covered Person, each affiliate of such Registering Covered Person and their respective
directors and officers or general and limited partners or members and managing members (including any director, officer, affiliate, employee, agent and controlling person of any of the foregoing) and each other person, if any, who controls such
Registering Covered Person within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred) (together, “Losses”), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto under which such Registrable Securities were registered or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus, any free writing prospectus
or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act in respect of the Registrable Securities, or amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party in any such case to the
extent that any such Losses are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, prospectus, any free writing prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act in respect of the Registrable Securities, or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding a Registering Covered Person
furnished to the Company by such Registering Covered Person or other Indemnified Party with respect to such seller or any underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

Section 2.7 Indemnification by Registering Covered Persons. Each Registering Covered Person hereby severally and not jointly
indemnifies and holds harmless, and the Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with this Article II, that the Company shall have received an undertaking
reasonably satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold harmless, the Company and all other prospective sellers of Registrable Securities, each officer of the Company who signed the registration statement and each person, if any,
who controls the Company and all other prospective sellers of Registrable Securities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 2.6
above, but only with respect to any Losses that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made 

  
 14 








 
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company with respect to such Registering Covered Person or any underwriter specifically for use in the preparation of
such registration statement, prospectus, any free writing prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act in respect of the Registrable Securities, or amendment or
supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of the Registering Covered Persons or any underwriter, or any of their respective affiliates,
directors, officers or controlling persons and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such person. In no event shall any such indemnification liability of any Registering Covered Person be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the
net proceeds received by such Registering Covered Person (after deduction of any underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses) upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 

Section 2.8 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party hereunder of written notice of
the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Article II, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give
written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article II, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. 
 In case any such action is brought against an
Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Covered Person, its affiliates, directors and
officers and any control persons of such Indemnified Party shall be designated in writing by the Demand Committee, (y) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Board. The indemnifying person shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or
could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
such 

  
 15 








 
Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a
failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. 
 Section 2.9 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in
this Article II from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified
Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
Indemnified 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 such indemnifying party and Indemnified Parties
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 or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such indemnifying party or Indemnified 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 under this
Section 2.9 as a result of the losses, claims, damages, 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 parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.9 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 immediately preceding paragraph. 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 fraudulent misrepresentation. 

Section 2.10 Participation by Covered Persons. No Covered Person may participate in any Public Offering (or sell Partnership Units
to the Company in connection with the Company’s issuance of Primary Issuance Funding Securities, as contemplated by Section 2.2(a)) unless such Covered Person (a) agrees to sell such Covered Person’s securities on the basis
provided in any underwriting or purchase arrangements approved by the Covered Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting or purchase
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the provisions of this Agreement in respect of registration rights. 

Section 2.11 Parties in Interest. Each Covered Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits of this Agreement and shall be
bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by reason of such Covered Person’s election to participate in a registration under this Article II. To the extent Partnership Units are effectively transferred in accordance with the terms of
the Partnership Agreement, the Permitted Transferee of such Partnership Units shall be entitled to receive the benefits of this Agreement and shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement upon becoming bound hereby pursuant to
Section 3.1(c). 

  
 16 








 Section 2.12 Acknowledgement Regarding the Company. Other than those determinations
reserved expressly to the Demand Committee, all determinations necessary or advisable under this Article II shall be made by the Board, the determinations of which shall be final and binding. 

Section 2.13 Cooperation by the Company. If the Covered Person shall transfer any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Covered Person and shall provide to the Covered Person such information as may be required to be provided under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act.

only with the consent of the Company and the Demand Committee; provided that no amendment may materially and adversely affect the rights of a Covered Person, as such, other than on a pro rata basis with other Covered Persons without the consent of
such Covered Person (or, if there is more than one such Covered Person that is so affected, without the consent of a majority of such affected Covered Persons in accordance with their holdings of Covered Partnership Units and Registrable Securities,

legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Covered Persons; provided, however, that a Covered Person may not assign this Agreement or any of his rights or obligations hereunder, and any purported assignment in breach hereof by a Covered
Person shall be void except in connection with any transfer to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with this Agreement; and provided further that no assignment of this Agreement by the Company or to a successor of the Company (by operation of law
or otherwise) shall be valid unless such assignment is made to a person which succeeds to the business of such person substantially as an entirety. 

  
 17 








 Section 3.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware. 
 Section 3.4 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall 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 shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 Section 3.5 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein, this document embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the
parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. 
 Section 3.6 Successors and Assigns;
Certain Transferees Bound Hereby. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the Company and the Partnership and their successors and assigns, and by the Covered

to the benefit of and be enforceable by any person who continues to be a Covered Person but ceases to hold any shares of Class A Common Stock or Partnership Units. 

Section 3.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts each of which shall be an original and all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this
arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce.
If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a
lawyer and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings.

damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate. 

(c) (i) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF
ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.8, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary
judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the fora designated by this
