a replacement CEO pursuant to Section 2.4(c), the CD&R Designee serving as Chairman pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) shall be entitled to serve also as CEO on an interim basis until such replacement CEO is hired (during which time the
Board seat to which the CEO Designee is 

  
 8 








 
entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) shall remain vacant). In the event that such CD&R Designee has served as CEO for a period of six months, the continuation of such CD&R
Designee to serve in such position shall require the approval of the Required Directors pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i).

to applicable law and the Company’s obligation to comply with any applicable independence requirements of a national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed to which it is then subject. 

SECTION 2.3. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.4. Change in CEO. (a) The Principal Investors shall cooperate with each other in good faith to evaluate on a
periodic basis the performance of the CEO and shall use all reasonable efforts to reach mutual agreement with respect to whether replacing the CEO at any time is in the best interests of the Company. 

(b) [Reserved]. 

(c) Following any termination or resignation of the CEO, the Stockholder Designees shall cause the Board to promptly initiate a search
for a replacement CEO, the hiring of such replacement CEO to require the consent of the Required Directors pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i). In connection with such search, the Principal Investors shall consider in good faith the need to combine
the titles of Chairman and CEO to the extent necessary to attract the most qualified CEO candidates. Upon the termination or resignation of any Person who holds the title of Chairman and CEO, the CD&R Designee shall be entitled to serve as both
Chairman pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) and interim CEO pursuant to Section 2.1(i). Notwithstanding that such CD&R Designee no longer holds the title of Chairman, such designee shall be entitled to continue to be active in the

 ARTICLE III 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION
3.1. Stockholder Indemnification; Reimbursement of Expenses. 
 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Stockholder, their respective directors, members, managers and officers and their Affiliates (the Stockholders, and the respective directors, officers, partners, members, managers, Affiliates and controlling persons thereof, each, an
“Stockholder Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liability, including, without limitation, all obligations, costs, fines, claims, actions, injuries, demands, suits, judgments, proceedings, investigations, arbitrations
(including stockholder claims, actions, injuries, demands, suits, judgments, proceedings, investigations or arbitrations) and reasonable expenses, including reasonable accountant’s and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses (together the
“Losses”), incurred by such Stockholder Indemnitee before or after the date of this Agreement and arising out of, resulting from, or relating to (i) such Stockholder Indemnitee’s purchase and/or ownership of any Equity
Securities, (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement to which it is a party (including the agreements described therein), and any other subscription agreements pursuant to which any Stockholder Indemnitee purchased
securities of the Company and all agreements contemplated thereby, or (iii) any litigation to which any Stockholder Indemnitee is made a party in its capacity as a stockholder or owner of securities (or a partner, director, officer, member,
manager, Affiliate or controlling person of any Stockholder Indemnitee) of the Company; provided that the foregoing indemnification rights in this Section 3.1 shall not be available to the extent that (a) any such Losses are
incurred as a result of such Stockholder Indemnitee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence; (b) any such Losses are incurred as a result of non-compliance by such Stockholder Indemnitee with any laws or regulations applicable to any of
them; (c) any such Losses are incurred as a result of non-compliance by such Stockholder Indemnitee with its obligations under any of the agreements or instruments referenced above or any other agreements or instruments to which such
Stockholder Indemnitee is or becomes a party or otherwise becomes bound; or (d) subject to the rights of contribution provided for below, to the extent indemnification for any Losses would violate any applicable law, regulation or public
policy. For purposes of this Section 3.1, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Stockholder Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Company under this Section 3.1, then
such payments shall be promptly 

  
 15 








 
repaid by such Stockholder Indemnitee to the Company. The rights of any Stockholder Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such party may have under
any other agreement or instrument referenced above or any other agreement or instrument to which such Stockholder Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation. In the event of any payment of
indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.1, so long as any Stockholder Indemnitee is fully indemnified for all Losses, the Company will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related rights of recovery of the Stockholder
Indemnitee to which such payment is made against all other Persons. Such Stockholder Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required to evidence such rights. The Company will be entitled at its election to participate in the defense of any
third party claim upon which indemnification is due pursuant to this Section 3.1 or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Stockholder Indemnitee unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Stockholder
Indemnitee, a conflict of interest between the Company and such Stockholder Indemnitee may exist, in which case such Stockholder Indemnitee shall have the right to assume its own defense and the Company shall be liable for all reasonable expenses
therefor. Except as set forth above, should the Company assume such defense all further defense costs of the Stockholder Indemnitee in respect of such third party claim shall be for the sole account of such party and not subject to indemnification
hereunder. The Company will not without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Indemnitee effect any settlement of any threatened or pending third party claim in which such Stockholder Indemnitee is or could have been a party and be entitled
to indemnification hereunder unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes an unconditional release of such Stockholder Indemnitee from all liability and claims that are the subject matter of such claim. If the
indemnification provided for above is unavailable in respect of any Losses, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying an Stockholder Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Stockholder Indemnitee in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Stockholder Indemnitee in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other equitable considerations. 

The Company agrees to pay or reimburse (i) the Stockholders for (A) all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys fees, charges, disbursement and expenses) incurred in connection with any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or to any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any related agreements and (B) in connection with any
stamp, transfer, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement or any related agreements; and (ii) each Stockholder for all costs and expenses of such
Stockholder (including reasonable attorneys fees, charges, disbursement and expenses) incurred in connection with (1) the consent to any departure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the terms of any provision of this Agreement or
any related agreements and (2) the enforcement or exercise by such Stockholder of any right granted to it or provided for hereunder. 

SECTION 3.2. Termination. Subject to the early termination of any provision as a result of an amendment to this Agreement agreed
to by the Board and the Stockholders as provided under Section 3.3 (i) the provisions of Article II shall, with respect to each Stockholder, terminate as provided in the applicable Section of Article II or, if not so provided, as provided
in Section 2.8 and (ii) Section 3.1 of this Agreement shall not terminate. Nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for the breach of any of the agreements set forth in this Agreement. 

  
 16 








 SECTION 3.3. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, no
modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the approval of the Board and each of the CD&R Investors and the KKR Investors; provided, that any Stockholder may waive (in writing) the
benefit of any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself for any purpose. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right
of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Any written amendment or waiver to this Agreement that receives the vote or consent of the Stockholders provided herein need not be signed
by all Stockholders, but shall be effective in accordance with its terms and shall be binding upon all Stockholders. 
 SECTION
3.4. Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Stockholders may assign their respective
rights and obligations hereunder to any Transferees only to the extent expressly provided herein. 
 SECTION 3.5. [Reserved].

 SECTION 3.6. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, provided that a copy of
such notice is also sent via nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt; (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid; or (d) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to such party’s address as set forth below

SECTION 3.7. Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each
other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.8. Entire
Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement together with the Registration Rights Agreement and the Subscription Agreements embody 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, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. 

SECTION 3.9. Restrictions on Other Agreements; Bylaws. (a) Following the date hereof, no Stockholder or any of its, her or
his Permitted Transferees shall enter into or agree to be bound by any stockholder agreements or arrangements of any kind with any Person with respect to any Equity Securities except pursuant to the agreements specifically contemplated by the
Subscription Agreement to which it is a party and the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 (b) The provisions of this Agreement shall be
controlling if any such provisions or the operation thereof conflict with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. Each of the parties covenants and agrees to vote their Equity Securities and to take any other action reasonably requested by the
Company or any Stockholder to amend the Company’s Bylaws so as to avoid any conflict with the provisions hereof. 

  
 19 








 SECTION 3.11. Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise
any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or
noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of
any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
All remedies, either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative. 
 SECTION
3.12. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws to the extent
such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. No suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court or before any similar authority other than in a court of competent
jurisdiction in the State of New York, and the parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of such suit, proceeding or judgment. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have had to
bring such an action in any other court, domestic or foreign, or before any similar domestic or foreign authority. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding in relation
to this Agreement and for any counterclaim therein. 
 SECTION 3.13. 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 3.14. Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that money
damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or
right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and
provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 3.15. Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.16. No Recourse.
Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Company and each Stockholder covenant, agree and 

  
 20 








 
acknowledge that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any current or future director, officer,
employee, general or limited partner or member of any Stockholder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other
applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future officer, agent or employee of any Stockholder or any current or future
member of any Stockholder or any current or future director, officer, employee, partner or member of any Stockholder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of any Stockholder under this Agreement or any documents or
instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. 

SECTION 3.17. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s).
