 ARTICLE II 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

SECTION 2.1. Piggyback Rights. 

(a) If the Company proposes to register Securities for public sale (whether proposed to be offered for sale by the Company or by any other
Person) under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes) in a manner which would
permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will give prompt written notice (which notice shall specify the intended method or methods of disposition) to the Holders of its intention to do so and
of such Holder’s rights under this Section 2.1. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent such registration 

  
 5 








 
is being effected pursuant to the exercise of a demand right pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Company shall not be obligated to provide such notice to the Demand Party or its Affiliates. Upon
the written request of any Holder made within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder), the Company shall use its best
efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders have so requested to be registered; provided that: (i) any Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Holder’s request for
inclusion of any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal, provided, that, in the case of any underwritten
offering, written notice of such withdrawal must be given to the Company prior to the time at which the offering price and underwriter’s discount is determined with the managing underwriter or underwriters; (ii) if, at any time after
giving written notice of its intention to register any Securities 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 proceed with the proposed
registration of the Securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and, thereupon, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in
connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith) without prejudice to the rights of the Demand Party to request that such registration be effected as a registration
under Section 2.2(a); and (iii) subject to clause (i), if such registration involves an underwritten offering, each Holder of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in the registration must, upon the written request of the
Company, sell its Registrable Securities to the underwriters on the same terms and conditions as apply to the other Securities being sold through underwriters under such registration, with, in the case of a combined primary and secondary offering,
only such differences, including any with respect to representations and warranties, indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings. 

(b) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested
pursuant to this Section 2.1. 
 (c) Priority in Piggyback Registrations. If a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1
involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing (a copy of which shall be provided to the Holders) that, in its opinion, the number of Registrable Securities and other Securities requested to be included
in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have a material and adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Securities offered in such offering, then the Company shall include in
such registration: (i) first, the Securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account; and (ii) second, such number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders which, in the opinion of
such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the material and adverse effect referred to above, which number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata among all such requesting Holders of Registrable Securities on the basis of
the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder (provided that any Securities thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders
in like manner). Any other selling holders of the Company’s Securities shall be included in an underwritten offering only with the consent of Sponsor Holders holding a majority of the shares being sold in such offering and, if so included, such
securities, at the election of the Sponsor Holders, shall be subject to clause (ii) above in the same manner as the Registrable Securities held by the Holders or shall have priority after the shares of the Holders. 

  
 6 








 (d) Excluded Transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration
of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.1 incidental to the registration of any of its Securities in connection with: 

(i) the IPO; 

(ii) a registration statement filed to cover solely issuances under employee benefits plans or dividend reinvestment plans;

 (iii) any registration statement relating solely to the acquisition or merger after the date hereof by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries of or with any other businesses, assets or properties; or 
 (iv) any registration related solely to an
exchange by the Company of its own securities. 
 (e) Plan of Distribution, Underwriters, Advisors and Counsel. If a registration
pursuant to this Section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering, the Sponsor Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such underwritten offering shall have the right to (i) determine the plan of distribution,
(ii) approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the investment banker or bankers, managers and any provider of advisory services, which may include Affiliates of the Sponsor Holders, to administer the offering, including the
lead managing underwriter, selected by the Company and (iii) select counsel for the selling Sponsor Holders. 
 (f) Shelf
Takedowns. In connection with any shelf takedown (other than a shelf takedown at the request of the Demand Party, which shall be governed by Section 2.2(f), or a sale of Registrable Securities included on a
Non-Sponsor Holder Registration Statement), the Holders may exercise “piggyback” rights in the manner described in this Agreement to have included in such takedown Registrable Securities held by them
that are registered on such shelf registration statement. 
 SECTION 2.2. Demand Registration. 

(a) General. At any time, upon the written request of the Demand Party requesting that the Company effect the registration under the
Securities Act of Registrable Securities and specifying the amount and intended method of disposition thereof (including, but not limited to, an underwritten public offering), the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of such requested
registration to Holders other than the Demand Party and its Affiliates and to other holders of Securities entitled to notice of such registration, if any, and (ii) as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to file a registration
statement to effect the registration under the Securities Act of: 

  
 7 








 (i) such Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to
register by the Demand Party in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof; and 
 (ii) the Registrable
Securities of other Holders which the Company has been requested to register by written request given to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such written notice by the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement relating to any registration request under this
Section 2.2(a): 
 (w) prior to the expiration or waiver of the applicable lockup period, if any, in respect of a
previous Public Offering; or 
 (x) if the amount of Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to
register by the Demand Party is less than $50,000,000 at the time of such request; 
 (y) If a registration statement
covering the Registrable Securities is effective and available to the Demand Party and any other Holders; or 
 (z) if, in
the good faith judgment of the Board, the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which would be materially adverse to the Company and would not otherwise be required
under Law, in which case the filing of the registration statement may be delayed until the earlier of the second Business Day after such conditions shall have ceased to exist and the 60th day after receipt by the Company of the written request from
a Demand Party to register Registrable Securities under this Section 2.2(a); provided that the number of any such delays or any delay pursuant to Section 2.2(f) or 2.2(h) shall not exceed two in any twelve (12) month period.

 (b) Form. Each registration statement prepared at the request of a Demand Party shall be effected on such form as reasonably
requested by the Demand Party, including by a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act on a Form S-3 (or any successor rule or form thereto) if so requested by the Demand Party and if
the Company is then eligible to effect a shelf registration and use such form for such disposition. 
 (c) Expenses. The Company shall
pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 2.2. 

(d) Plan of Distribution, Underwriters, Advisors and Counsel. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an
underwritten offering, the Demand Party shall have the right to (i) determine the plan of distribution, (ii) select the investment banker or bankers, managers and any provider of advisory services, which may include Affiliates of the
Sponsor Holders, to administer the offering, including the lead managing underwriter (provided that such investment banker or bankers, managers and providers of advisory services shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and
(iii) select counsel for the selling Holders. 

  
 8 








 (e) Priority in Demand Registrations. If a requested registration pursuant to this
Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing (a copy of which shall be provided to each Holder that has requested that its Registrable Securities be included in such underwritten
offering) that, in its opinion, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering (including Securities of the Company which are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to
be likely to have a material and adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Securities offered in such offering, then the number of such Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among
the Holders that have requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such offering, including pursuant to Section 2.2(i), if any, on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder
(provided that any Securities thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be reallocated among all such remaining parties in like manner). Any other selling holders of the Company’s Securities shall
be included in an underwritten offering only with the consent of Sponsor Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by all Sponsor Holders in such offering. 

(f) Shelf Takedowns. Upon the written request of the Demand Party at any time and from time to time, the Company shall facilitate in the
manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of the Demand Party’s Registrable Securities off of an effective shelf registration statement. Upon the written request of the Demand Party, the Company shall 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 the Demand Party’s Registrable Securities previously taken down off of such shelf by the Demand Party and not yet
“reloaded” onto such shelf registration statement. 
 In connection with the exercise by the Demand Party of a demand right
pursuant to this Section 2.2(f), where the contemplated plan of distribution includes a customary “road show” or other substantial marketing effort by the Company and the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Offering”), the Demand Party shall also deliver the applicable demand request to any Non-Sponsor Holders of Registrable Securities included on the applicable shelf registration statement and, subject
to the limitations in Section 2.2(e), the Sponsor Holders shall permit each such Non-Sponsor Holder to include all or a portion of its Registrable Securities in the Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering if
such Non-Sponsor Holder notifies the Demand Party and the Company within two days after delivery of the demand request to such Non-Sponsor Holder of its election to
participate (which election shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Non-Sponsor Holder). For the avoidance of doubt, any proposed offer and sale of Registrable
Securities to one or more purchasers or underwriters by means of a block trade, bought deal or direct sale shall not be deemed to be a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to facilitate a “takedown” under this Section 2.2(f) if, in
the good faith judgment of the Board, the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which would be materially adverse to the Company and would not otherwise be required
under Law, in which case the filing of the applicable prospectus or prospectus supplement may be delayed until the earlier of the second Business Day after such conditions shall have ceased to exist and the 60th day after receipt by the Company of
the written request from a Demand Party to effect the takedown under this Section 2.2(f); provided that the number of any such delays or any delay pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(z) or 2.2(h) shall not exceed two in any twelve
(12) month period. 

  
 9 








 (g) No Inconsistent Agreements; Additional Rights. The Company has not entered, and shall
not hereafter enter, into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. If the Company has entered into or enters into a registration rights agreement with a third party,
the Company shall promptly send a copy thereof to the Holders. If such registration rights agreement provides such third party with terms more favorable than those set forth herein with respect to Holders of an equal or greater number of the
Company’s Common Stock (determined by reference to the Common Stock held by the Sponsor Holders collectively, on the one hand, and the Common Stock held by the Non-Sponsor Holders collectively, on the
other), this Agreement shall, to the extent so requested by any such Holders, be amended so as to provide such Holders with substantially the same material terms as provided to such other third party. 

In the event the Company engages in a merger or consolidation in which the shares of Common Stock are converted into Securities of another
company, appropriate arrangements shall be made so that the registration rights provided under this Agreement continue to be provided to Holders by the issuer of such Securities. To the extent such new issuer, or any other company acquired by the
Company in a merger or consolidation, was bound by registration rights that would conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to modify any such “inherited” registration rights so as not to
interfere in any material respects with the rights provided under this Agreement. 
 In addition, in the event that the Company effects the
separation of any portion of its business into one or more entities (each, a “NewCo”), whether existing or newly formed, including without limitation by way of spin-off, split-off, carve-out, demerger, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, and any Holder will receive equity interests in any such NewCo as part of such
separation, the Company shall cause any such NewCo to enter into a registration rights agreement with each such Holder that provides each such Holder with registration rights
vis-á-vis such NewCo that are substantially identical to those set forth in this Agreement. 

(h) Non-Sponsor Holder Shelf Registration Statement. Any
Non-Sponsor Holder that (i) owns at least 3% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) or (ii) is an Affiliate of the Company shall, in each
case, be entitled to request the Company to register all or a portion of the Registrable Securities owned by such Non-Sponsor Holder on a Form S-3 (or any successor form
thereto) if (x) such registration reasonably would be expected to be required under the Securities Act in light of such Non-Sponsor Holder’s contemplated plan of distribution and (y) the Company
will be eligible to use such registration statement when filed (a “Non-Sponsor Holder Registration”) and such Non-Sponsor Holder may, in connection
therewith, require the Company to file such registration statement with the SEC in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis, including, if the Company is a well-known seasoned
issuer (as defined in the Securities Act) at the time of the filing of such registration statement, as an automatic shelf-registration. Following the receipt of a written request (a “Non-Sponsor 


  
 10 








 
Holder Registration Request”) for a Non-Sponsor Holder Registration in accordance with this Section 2.2(h), the Company shall use its best
efforts to file such Form S-3 registration statement as promptly as practicable and shall use its best efforts to cause such Form S-3 registration statement to be
declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof. The Company will give prompt written notice of a Non-Sponsor Holder Registration Request to the Sponsor Holders.
Upon request from time to time by any holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Non-Sponsor Holder Registration, the Company promptly shall amend or supplement such Form
S-3 registration statement as so requested to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed in accordance with the plan of distribution specified by the holder if such amendment or supplement shall be
reasonably required under the Securities Act in light of such plan of distribution; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to amend or supplement such Form S-3 registration statement if, in
the good faith judgment of the Board, the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which would be materially adverse to the Company and would not otherwise be required
under Law, in which case the filing of such amendment or supplement may be delayed until the earlier of the second Business Day after such conditions shall have ceased to exist and the 60th day after receipt by the Company of the request to make
such amendment or supplement under this Section 2.2(h); provided that the number of any such delays or any delay pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(z) or 2.2(f) shall not exceed two in any twelve (12) month period. 

For purposes of this Section 2.2(h), including in computing the percentage of Common Stock owned by a
Non-Sponsor Holder on a fully-diluted basis or in determining Registrable Securities of a Non-Sponsor Holder, the Non-Sponsor
Holder shall be treated as owning, and shall be entitled to include in any registration and offering described in this Section 2.2(h), (i) all shares of Common Stock owned directly by the Non-Sponsor
Holder and all shares of Common Stock owned by the Non-Sponsor Holder’s Affiliates and Family Group members and (ii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any option, warrant or
conversion or exchange right owned by such Non-Sponsor Holder and such Non-Sponsor Holder’s Affiliates and Family Group members, whether or not such option, warrant
or conversion or exchange right is immediately exercisable, and all such shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated as outstanding, but no shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of any other option, warrant
or conversion or exchange right shall be treated as outstanding. 
 Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein,
Section 2.3(q) and Section 2.4(d) shall not apply with respect to any registration or offering described in this Section 2.2(h), and the Company shall have no obligation under Section 2.3(i) to enter any underwriting or other
agreement to the extent such agreement provides for a lockup. 
 (i) Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney; Underwritten
Registrations. Upon delivering a request to participate in an offering under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, a Non-Sponsor Holder will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a customary
custody agreement and power of attorney in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to such Non-Sponsor Holder’s Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant thereto (a
“Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Non-Sponsor Holder will deliver to and deposit in custody with the
custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates representing such Registrable Securities (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or


  
 11 








 
owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank), if such Registrable Securities are certificated, and irrevocably appoint said custodian and
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on such Non-Sponsor
Holder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein. Each Non-Sponsor Holder agrees to execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of
this paragraph. 
 In addition, no Non-Sponsor Holder may participate in any underwritten
registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or 2.2(f) unless such Non-Sponsor Holder (a) agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the Sponsor Holders (in the case of an underwritten registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a) through (f)), by the Company or other Person initiating the offering (in the case of an underwritten registration pursuant to
Section 2.1) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

SECTION 2.3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to file a registration statement with respect to, or to
use its best efforts to effect or cause the registration of, any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall as expeditiously as possible: 

(a) promptly prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form with respect to such Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that before filing a registration
statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto (including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to counsel for the sellers of Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment
letter from the SEC, (ii) fairly consider such reasonable changes in any such documents prior to or after the filing thereof as the counsel to the sellers of Registrable Securities being sold may request, and (iii) make such of the
representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the sellers of the Registrable Securities being sold available for discussion of such documents; 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and 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 not in excess of two (2) years (which period shall not be applicable in the case of a shelf registration effected pursuant to a request under
Section 2.2(b) or 2.2(h), which registration statements the Company shall keep effective until the applicable Holders’ Registrable Securities included on such registration statement are sold) and to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act and the Exchange 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 seller or sellers thereof set forth in such
registration statement; provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto (other than any reports or other documents filed with the 

  
 12 








 
SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act), the Company shall (i) furnish to counsel for the sellers of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all documents proposed
to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC, (ii) fairly consider such reasonable changes in any such
documents prior to or after the filing thereof as the counsel to the sellers of Registrable Securities being sold may request, and (iii) make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the sellers of the
Registrable Securities being sold available for discussion of such documents; 
 (c) furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities
and the underwriters of the securities being registered such number of copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits filed therewith, including any documents incorporated by
reference), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such
seller or underwriters may reasonably request, without charge, in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such seller or the sale of such securities by such underwriters (it being understood that, subject to the
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each seller and the underwriters or agents in connection with the offering and sale
of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement of which such prospectus, amendment or supplement is a part); 
 (d) use
its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration in such jurisdictions as each seller shall reasonably request and to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective
during the period in which the registration statement is required to be kept effective, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; 
 (e) use its best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities, including registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and
sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) effective during the period such
registration statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to this Agreement, to cooperate with the selling holders of such Registrable Securities, the underwriters, if any, or agents and their respective counsel in connection therewith, and
to take any other action as may be necessary or advisable to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction; 

(f) promptly notify each seller (and in the case of clause (x), any underwriter) of any such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the Company’s becoming aware that (i) the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be 

  
 13 








 
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller, as promptly as practicable
thereafter prepare and furnish to such seller and any underwriter a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and
(ii) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 2.3(j) below ceases to be true and correct in all material respects; 

(g) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its Security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable

period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm
commitment or best efforts underwritten offering; 
 (h) (i) list such Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which other
Securities of the Company are then listed if such Registrable Securities are not already so listed and if such listing is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, and (ii) provide a transfer agent and registrar and CUSIP number for such
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement; 
 (i) except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(h), enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form), which shall include (x) indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable to the holders of
Registrable Securities than those set forth in Article III hereof (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and the underwriters or agents) and
(y) such representations and warranties to the underwriters, with respect to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and such registration statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and the Company shall confirm the same if and when requested, and take such other actions as the
underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 
 (j) if
requested by the managing underwriter(s) of an underwritten offering or if reasonably requested by the seller or sellers of a majority of such Registrable Securities, use best efforts to obtain a comfort letter or letters and updates thereof from
the Company’s independent certified public accountants (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any Subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and
financial data are, or are required to be, included in such registration statement) addressed to the underwriters or seller or sellers in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters; 

  
 14 








 (k) make available for inspection by any seller of such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, by any underwriter participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any such underwriter, all pertinent
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement; 
 (l) notify counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities included
in such registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, immediately, and confirm the notice in writing: (i) when the registration statement, or any post-effective amendment to the registration statement, shall have become
effective, or any supplement to the prospectus or any amendment to any prospectus shall have been filed; (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the SEC; (iii) of any request of the SEC to amend the registration statement or amend or
supplement the prospectus or for additional information; and (iv) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary
prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the registration statement for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes; 

(m) provide each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement reasonable opportunity to comment on the registration
statement, any post-effective amendments to the registration statement, any supplement to the prospectus or any amendment to any prospectus; 

(n) make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any
order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment; 

(o) if requested by the managing underwriter or agent or any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly
incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or agent or such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein, including, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being
sold by such Holder to such underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or agent and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and
make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 

(p) cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any,
to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such Securities to be in such denominations and registered in
such names as the managing underwriter or agent, if any, or the Holders may request; 

  
 15 








 (q) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(h), use its best efforts to make available
the executive officers of the Company to participate with the Holders of Registrable Securities and any underwriters in any “road shows” that may be reasonably requested by the Sponsor Holders in connection with distribution of Registrable
Securities; 
 (r) in the case of an offering that includes a provider of advisory services, enter into and perform its obligations under
customary agreements (including an advisory services agreement and an indemnification agreement in customary form); 
 (s) obtain for
delivery to the Holders of Registrable Securities being registered and to the underwriter or agent an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Company in customary form and in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to such Holders,
underwriters or agents and their counsel; and 
 (t) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent
participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA. 

SECTION 2.4. Other Registration-Related Matters. 

(a) The Company may require any Person that is Transferring Securities in a Public Offering pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2 to furnish to the
Company in writing such information regarding such Person and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of the Registrable Securities which are included in such Public Offering as the Company may from
time to time reasonably request in writing; provided that such information shall be used only in connection with such registration. 

(b) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 2.3(f)(i), it will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until its receipt of the copies of the amended or supplemented prospectus
contemplated by Section 2.3(f) or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company or destroy
(at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in its possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company gives any such
notice, the period for which the Company shall be required to keep the registration statement effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to
Section 2.3(f)(i) to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement has received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.3(f)(i) or the
Advice. The Company shall use its best efforts and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to render the Advice as promptly as practicable. 

  
 16 








 (c) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 2.3(l)(iv), it shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until the lifting of such stop order, other
order or suspension or the termination of such proceedings and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company or destroy (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in its possession,
of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company gives any such notice, the period for which the Company shall be required to keep the registration statement effective
shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 2.3(l)(iv) to and including the date when such stop order, other order or suspension is lifted or such
proceedings are terminated. 
 (d) With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any
time permit the sale of Securities of the Company to the public without registration after such time as a public market exists for Registrable Securities, the Company agrees: 

(i) to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its Securities to the public; 

(ii) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to then file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and 

(iii) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to such Holder promptly upon request: (A) a written
statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its Securities to
the public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and (C) such other reports and
documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself or himself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Holder to sell any such Securities without registration. 

(e) Counsel to represent Holders of Registrable Securities shall be selected by the Sponsor Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable
Securities held by all Sponsor Holders included in the relevant registration. 
 (f) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the registration
rights provided to the Holders herein are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, override or limit any other restrictions on Transfer to which any such Holder may otherwise be subject.

 ARTICLE III 

INDEMNIFICATION 
 SECTION
3.1. Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any Securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless, to
the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, each Affiliate of such Holder and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, equityholders, managers, accountants, attorneys and agents (and the directors,
officers, employees, partners, equityholders, managers, accountants, attorneys, agents and controlling Persons of any of the foregoing), any financial or investment adviser, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or
sale of such Securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, and “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) and reasonable and documented expenses and to which such Indemnified Party may become subject
under the Securities Act, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) arise out of or are based upon:
(a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, any other such disclosure document (including reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference
therein) or related document or report, or any issuer free writing prospectus (including any “road show,” whether or not required to be filed with the SEC); (b) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the case of a prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus, in the light of the circumstances when they were made; or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document
or related document or report, and the Company shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding;
provided that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, in any such preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any issuer free writing prospectus, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such Indemnified Party furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Party expressly for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity will remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any Indemnified Party and will survive the Transfer of such Securities by such Holder or any termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 3.2. Indemnification by the Holders and Underwriters. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable
Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Section 2.1 or 2.2, that the Company shall have received an undertaking from the Holder of such Registrable Securities, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless
(in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 3.1) the Company, all 

  
 18 








 
other Holders and any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and controlling Persons, with respect to any untrue statement in or omission from such registration statement, any
preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, any amendment or supplement, or any issuer free writing prospectus, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement is contained in, or such omission or
alleged omission is required to be contained in, any information which (i) relates solely to such Holder’s individual ownership of the Registrable Securities, and (ii) if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement, a
document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing, or any such issuer free writing prospectus. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any of the Holders,
or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or controlling Persons and shall survive the Transfer of such Securities by such Holder. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds actually received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 

SECTION 3.3. Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of
any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or written threat thereof with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Article III (each, a “Proceeding”), 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 Proceeding; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein will not relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 3.1 or 3.2, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such Proceeding is brought against an Indemnified
Party, the indemnifying party shall 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 selected by the Holders of at least a
majority of the Registrable Securities included in the relevant registration and 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, at the indemnifying party’s expense, the indemnifying party shall 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. If, in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, having common counsel would result in a conflict of interest between the interests of such indemnified and indemnifying parties, then such Indemnified Party may employ
separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party to represent or defend such Indemnified Party in such Proceeding, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnified Parties (and not more than one separate firm of local counsel at any time for all such Indemnified Parties) in such action unless (i) the indemnifying party agrees to
pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party or parties fail promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding or fail to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties; or (iii) the named parties to
any such Proceeding (including any impleading parties) include both such indemnified party or parties and the indemnifying parties or an Affiliate of an indemnifying party or indemnified party, and there


  
 19 








 
may be one or more defenses available to such indemnified party or parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or parties, in which case, if such
indemnified party or parties notifies the indemnifying party or parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expenses of the indemnifying party or parties, the indemnifying party or parties shall not have the right to assume
the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (x) provides for other than monetary damages
without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (y) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release
from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. 
 SECTION 3.4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for
hereunder from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein for reasons other than those described in the proviso in the first sentence
of Section 3.1, 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 3.4 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. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the
proceeds actually received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation. Any obligation of Holders to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be several in the same proportion that
the dollar amount of the proceeds actually received by each such Holder bears to the total dollar amount of the proceeds received by all Holders and not joint. 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4 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. 

If indemnification is available under Section 3.1, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each Indemnified Party to the full extent
provided in Section 3.1 without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or Indemnified Party or any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 3.4. 

  
 20 








 SECTION 3.5. Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in this
Article III (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company with respect to any required registration or other qualification of Securities under any Law or with any Governmental Authority other than as required by the Securities Act.

 SECTION 3.6. Non-Exclusivity. The obligations of the parties under this Article III shall
be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party. 
 ARTICLE IV 

OTHER 
 SECTION 4.1.

SECTION 4.2. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned without the express prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and
any attempted assignment, without such consents, shall be null and void; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of any other party hereto, (i) a Sponsor Holder may assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement, in whole or in part, to any Transferee of Registrable Securities so long as such Transferee, if not already a party to this Agreement, executes and delivers to the Company a joinder to this Agreement, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A, and upon such Transfer such transferee shall be deemed a “Sponsor Holder” hereunder; and (ii) any Non-Sponsor Holder may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement,
in whole or in part, to any Transferee of Registrable Securities that is an Affiliate of such Non-Sponsor Holder or a members of its Family Group, so long as such Transferee, if not already a party to this
Agreement, executes and delivers to the Company a joinder to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, whereupon such Person shall be deemed a “Non-Sponsor Holder” hereunder.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

  
 21

 SECTION 4.14. Independent Nature of the Rights and Obligations of Holders. The rights and
obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. The decision of each Holder to
enter into this Agreement has been made by such Holder independently of any Holder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are
not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company will not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

SECTION 4.15. Termination as to a Holder. Any Person who ceases to hold any Registrable Securities shall cease to be a Holder and shall
have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except with respect to any indemnification or contribution rights or obligations under Article III, which shall survive).
