2. Demand Registration. 
 2.1 Registrations. 
 (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at any
time after the applicable Lockup Date, the Holder and its Affiliates may request registration under the Securities Act of their Registrable Securities (any Holder or Affiliate making such request being referred to as an “Initiating
Holder”) by providing written notice thereof to the Company and specifying in such notice the number of Registrable Securities to be registered, following which the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as
expeditiously as reasonably practicable (and subject to the requirements and restrictions in Sections 2.1(b) and (c) below), the Registration of the Registrable Securities for which the Initiating Holder has requested registration under this
Section 2.1(a); provided, however, that the number of Registrations which the Company shall be required to effect pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) (each, a “Demand Registration”), together with the number of
Underwritten Shelf Takedowns (as defined below) which the Company shall be required to effect pursuant to Section 3.2, shall be no more than six (6) (the “Demand Limit”); and provided, further, that the
Company shall not be required to effect a Demand Registration unless the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering (including the aggregate gross proceeds 







 
to the Holders making the request to be included in a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) as a consequence of such Demand Registration) is estimated to be $25.0 million or more.
Any Demand Registration shall be prepared and filed on such form, as selected by the Company in its sole discretion, for which the Company then qualifies or that its counsel deems appropriate and which form shall be available for the registration of
the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and the Company shall be permitted to effect such Demand Registration on a then currently effective shelf registration statement.

 (b) Within ten (10) days after receipt of any request pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company shall give written
notice of such request to all other Holders (and any other Persons having a right to participate in such Registration) and shall include in such Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests
for inclusion within thirty (30) days of the Company’s notice, along with any securities which the Company and other holders entitled to piggyback rights in respect of such Registration may decide to include in such Registration (in each
case, subject to the cut-back provisions set forth in Section 2.3 below). 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this
Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, no provision relating to the registration of Registrable Securities shall be construed as permitting the Holders to effect a Transfer of securities (including pursuant to Section 4 below) to the
extent that it is otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Operating Agreement, the Note and Unit Subscription Agreement or any other applicable agreement between the respective Holders and the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. 
 2.2 Effectiveness of Demand Registrations. A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have been
effected and shall not count as a Demand Registration (i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and has remained effective for a period of at least one hundred fifty (150) days (or such shorter period in
which all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration have actually been sold thereunder), (ii) if, after it has become effective, such Demand Registration becomes subject prior to one hundred fifty (150) days (or such
shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration have actually been sold thereunder) after effectiveness to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental
entity or court for any reason, (iii) if, at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a Demand Registration, the Initiating Holder revokes such Demand Registration request by providing written notice
thereof to the Company, provided that such revoked Demand Registration shall nonetheless count as having been effected unless the Initiating Holder pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such revoked Demand Registration within
thirty (30) days of written request therefor by the Company or (iv) if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied by
reason of any act or omission on the part of the Company. 
 2.3 Priority. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten
Public Offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the inclusion of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities and other equity securities of the Company requested to be included in such
Registration creates a substantial risk that the public offering price will be reduced, the Company shall include in such Registration the number of Registrable Securities and other equity securities requested to be included which in the opinion of
such managing underwriters can be sold without creating such a risk, first, pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by such Holders, with further
successive pro rata allocations among such Holders if any such Holder has requested the registration of less than all such Registrable Securities such Holder is entitled to register, and second any equity securities proposed to be registered
by the Company and any equity securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons other than the Holders, pro rata among the Company and the holders of such securities on the basis of the 







 
number of shares which are owned by such holders and the number of shares to be offered by the Company (or on such other basis as may be required pursuant to agreements among the Company and such
other holders of equity securities). 
 2.4 Restrictions. The Company will not be obligated to effect any Demand
Registration (x) within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration, (y) to the extent restricted from doing so pursuant to any agreement in place prior to September 17, 2007 or
(z) to the extent it is contractually restricted from doing so pursuant to any underwriters’ lock-up agreement that it has become subject to in the context of any prior underwritten Public Offering. With respect to any Demand Registration,
if (a) the Company, by decision of its general partner, reasonably and in good faith determines that such filing would be materially detrimental to the Company or require a disclosure of a material fact that would reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the Company or any plan or proposal by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition or disposition of assets or equity securities (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger,
consolidation, tender offer, material financing or other significant transaction and (b) the Company shall furnish the Holders who have requested a Demand Registration a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company to such effect,
the Company may postpone the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration for up to ninety (90) days; provided that the Company may not postpone the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement
for a Demand Registration for more than one hundred eighty (180) days during any three hundred sixty five (365) consecutive day period. 
 2.5 Underwriting and Selection of Underwriters. If the Initiating Holder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwritten Public Offering, it
shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to Section 2.1(a). The Initiating Holder shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such underwritten Public Offering, subject to the
Company’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 3. Shelf Registrations. 

3.1 Filing. If requested by the Holders of Registrable Securities having an aggregate value of $25.0 million or more, the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, a registration statement on any permitted form that qualifies, and is available for, the resale of the Registrable Securities, with the Commission in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415
promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect) (the “Shelf”), provided that the Company shall not be required to file the Shelf until such time as it is eligible to use Form S-3 (or would be eligible to
use Form S-3 but for its failure to file in a timely manner all such reports or other materials required to be so filed in order to become eligible, or its failure to satisfy the requirements set forth in Section I.A.5 of the General Instructions
for Form S-3, or any successor instructions substantially consistent therewith). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf to become effective as promptly thereafter as practicable and not later than thirty
(30) days of such filing. The Company shall give written notice of the filing of the registration statement at least sixty (60) days prior to filing the registration statement to all Holders of Registrable Securities (the
“Registration Notice”) and shall include in the Shelf all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after sending the Registration
Notice and questionnaire provided to Holders; provided, however, that in order to be named as a selling securityholder each Holder must furnish to the Company in writing such information in writing as may be reasonably requested by the
Company for the purpose of including such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Shelf (the “Selling Holder Information”). The Company shall include in the Shelf, Selling Holder Information received, to the extent necessary and
in a manner so that upon effectiveness of the Shelf, the Holder shall be named, to the extent required by the rules promulgated under the Securities Act by the 







 
Commission, as a selling securityholder and be permitted to deliver (or be deemed to deliver) a prospectus relating to the Shelf to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with
applicable law, and shall, if requested, within ten (10) Business Days of any request, amend or supplement the Shelf such that the plan of distribution or other related information reflects transactions proposed to be conducted by any Holder.
If the Company files an amended version of the Shelf, the Company shall include in such Shelf Selling Holder Information that was not included in any previous filed version of the Shelf. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
convert any Shelf that is on a Form S-1 (including any Follow-On Shelf) to a registration statement on Form S-3 (“the “Form S-3 Shelf”) as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use the Form S-3. If any
Registrable Securities remain issued and outstanding after three (3) years following the initial effective date of such Shelf (the “Initial Shelf Effective Date”), the Company shall, prior to the expiration of such Shelf, file
a new Shelf covering such Registrable Securities and shall thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as promptly as practical, such new Shelf. The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf in
accordance with the terms hereof until no Holder holds any Registrable Securities. 
 3.2 Requests for Underwritten Shelf
Takedowns. Subject to the Demand Limit provided in Section 2.1(a), at any time and from time to time after the Shelf has been declared effective by the Commission, any Holder may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable
Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall not be required to effect a Underwritten Shelf Takedown unless the
aggregate gross proceeds of the offering (including the aggregate gross proceeds to the Holders making the request to be included in a Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 3.3 as a consequence of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) is
estimated to be $25.0 million or more. 
 3.3 Demand Notices. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made
by giving written notice to the Company (the “Demand Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Demand Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown
and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Within ten (10) days after receipt of any Demand Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested
Underwritten Shelf Takedown to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to the provisions of Section 3.4, shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown all Registrable
Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice. 
 3.4 Priority on Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. If the managing underwriters for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown advise the Company, in writing, that, in their opinion, the inclusion of all or a
portion of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown creates a substantial risk that the Underwritten Shelf Takedown price will be reduced, the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown the
number of Registrable Securities which can be so sold, first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 3.2, which in the judgment of such underwriter can be sold in an
orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder, and
second, any other securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown to the extent permitted hereunder. 
 3.5 Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to select the investment
banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, subject to the Company’s prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 







 4. Piggyback Registration; Exchange Shelf. 

4.1 Right to Piggyback. Whenever either (i) the Company proposes to undertake an underwritten Public Offering of any of its
equity securities under the Securities Act for its own account (other than pursuant to a Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown hereunder or a Rule 145 transaction under the Securities Act) in which the Founders and/or Carlyle Partners
and/or any other common equityholder of the Company choose to include equity securities of the Company for registration and resale or (ii) the Company proposes to undertake an underwritten Public Offering of its equity securities under the
Securities Act for the account of any of the Founders and/or Carlyle Partners and/or any other common equityholder of the Company and, in any case, the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of any Registrable Securities (a
“Piggyback Registration”) (except Forms S-4 or S-8), the Company will use reasonable efforts (based on the nature and circumstances of the Public Offering) to provide notice thereof to those Holders who are not restricted from
Transferring Registrable Securities at the time of such proposed Public Offering (it being understood that with respect to “bought” deals or overnight transactions such notice may be impractical) and, should the Holders and/or other
holders of equity securities of the Company take all actions requested of them in a timely fashion, the Company will use reasonable efforts to include in such registration the Registrable Securities and other equity securities (in accordance with
the priorities set forth in Section 4.2) with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion (which requests shall specify the number of equity securities desired to be registered by such Holders or other holders, as
applicable). In the event that the Company (other than pursuant to any agreement in place prior to September 17, 2007) grants “piggy back” rights to any common equityholder of the Company to include equity securities for registration
and resale in the registration whenever the Company proposes to undertake an underwritten Public Offering of any of its equity securities exclusively for its own account, the words “in which the Founders and/or Carlyle Partners and/or any other
common equityholder of the Company choose to include equity securities of the Company for registration and resale” in clause (i) of this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to be deleted from such clause. 

4.2 Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the
number of Registrable Securities and other equity securities of the Company requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration exceeds the largest number of Registrable Securities that can be sold without having a material adverse effect on such
offering, including the price at which such Registrable Securities can be sold (the “Maximum Piggyback Offering Size”), the Company shall include in such Registration, in the priority listed below, a number of Registrable Securities
and other equity securities up to the Maximum Piggyback Offering Size: 
 (a) in the case of Piggyback Registrations of the type
described in clause (i) of Section 4.1, 
 (i) first, all securities proposed to be registered by the
Company; and 
 (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and any other securities proposed to be registered for
the account of any other Persons, allocated pro rata among the respective holders on the basis of the number of securities initially proposed to be included by each such holder prior to giving effect to the cutback pursuant to this
Section 4.2(a). 
 (b) in the case of Piggyback Registrations of the type described in clause (ii) of
Section 4.1, 
 (i) first, all securities proposed to be registered for the account of the Founders and
Carlyle Partners, allocated pro rata among the respective holders of securities participating in such Piggyback Registration on the basis of the number of equity securities (calculated on a converted to Company common equity basis) owned by such
holders; and 







 (ii) second, any securities proposed to be registered by the Company or any
securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons other than the Founders, Carlyle Partners, including Registrable Securities held by the Holders, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of
shares which are owned by such holders. 
 4.3 Selection of Underwriters. The Holders will have no right to select the
managing underwriters to administer the offering of any Piggyback Registration. 
 4.4 Exchange Shelf. In addition to the
other rights set forth herein, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission, prior to the Initial Lockup Date, or if a Change of Control occurs, as promptly as
reasonably practicable thereafter, one or more registration statements (the “Exchange Registration”) covering (i) the delivery by the Company or its subsidiaries, from time to time, to the Holders of IPO Entity Equity
Securities registered under the Securities Act in exchange for Substitute Parent Entity Interests 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 IPO Entity Equity Securities by the Holders. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration until all IPO Entity Equity Interests of the Holders are sold. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if (a) the Company, by decision of its general partner, reasonably and in good faith determines that such filing would be materially detrimental to the Company or require a disclosure of a material fact
that might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or any plan or proposal by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition or disposition of assets or equity securities (other than in the
ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, material financing or other significant transaction, the Company may postpone the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for an Exchange Registration for up to
seventy-five (75) days; provided that the Company may not postpone the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for an Exchange Registration for more than one hundred fifty (150) days during any three hundred sixty five
(365) consecutive day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to maintain the Exchange Registration in respect of securities covered by a Shelf. 

5. Holdback Agreements. 
 5.1 Holders’ Agreements. Each Holder agrees that, in connection with (x) the Qualified IPO of the Company’s common equity securities and (y) any other underwritten Public
Offering in which such Holder participates, such Holder shall (i) not sell, make any short sale of or enter into any other derivative transactions with respect to, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise Transfer any
Registrable Securities (other than those included in such Registration, if any, and then only pursuant to such Registration) without the prior written consent of the Company and/or the underwriters managing the Public Offering of the Company’s
securities during the period beginning seven (7) days prior to the effective date of the applicable registration statement (or, if applicable, such lesser period commencing as of such time as the Holders acquire actual notice of such Public
Offering, in the case of a Piggyback Registration) and ending one hundred eighty (180) days following the pricing of the Public Offering contemplated by clauses (x) and (y), and (ii) enter into and be bound by such form of agreement
with respect to the foregoing as the Company and/or the underwriters may request, provided that such Holder shall not be so obligated pursuant to this Section 5 unless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each holder of 5%
or more of the Company’s outstanding securities participating in such Public Offering enter into the same form of agreement referred to in clause (ii) of this sentence. Nothing herein shall prevent a Holder from transferring Registrable
Securities to a (a) “Subscriber Affiliate” as 







 
defined in, and subject to the terms of, the Subscription Agreement or to an “Affiliate” as defined in, and subject to the terms of, the Note and Unit Subscription Agreement, provided
that such transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the extent the transferor would be so bound, provided, further, that if (A) the Company issues an earnings release or discloses other material information or a
material event relating to the Partnership occurs during the last 17 days of such one hundred eighty (180) day period or (ii) prior to the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company announces that it will
release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning upon the expiration of such period, then to the extent necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering required hereunder to comply with Rule 2711(f)(4) of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., such period will be extended until 18 days after the earnings release or disclosure of other material information or the occurrence of the material event, as the case may be. 

5.2 Company’s Agreements. The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven (7) days prior to, and during the one hundred eighty (180) days following, the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or any
underwritten Piggyback Registration (except as part of any such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form), unless the underwriters managing the Public Offering otherwise agree.

 6. Registration Procedures. 
 6.1 Company’s Obligations. Whenever Holders have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement (it being agreed that in connection with any Exchange
Registration pursuant to Section 4.4, only paragraphs (a), (c), (d), (e) and (j) below shall be applicable, and in connection with any shelf registration pursuant to Section 3.1, only paragraphs (c), (e) and (j) below
shall be applicable ), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities of such Holders in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto,
the Company shall as expeditiously as possible: 
 (a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and remain effective for a period of not less than one hundred fifty (150) days or until
the Holders have finished the distribution described in such registration statement; 
 (b) prior to filing a
registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in respect of any Demand Registration, furnish to the Holders and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of
such registration statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter the Company shall furnish to the Holders and underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case 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 the Holders or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Holders (subject to the limitations set forth herein). The
Holders shall have the right to request that the Company modify any information contained in such registration statement, amendment and supplement thereto pertaining to the Holders and the Company shall use its all 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, (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 covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to
such prospectus and (iii) promptly notify the Holders of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission 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, file with the Commission any free writing prospectus that is required to be filed by the Company with the Commission in accordance with the
Securities Act and retain any free writing prospectus not required to be filed. 
 (e) use its commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holder or each
underwriter, if any, reasonably (in light of such member’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities 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 the Holders to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the
Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6.1(e), (B) subject itself to taxation in
any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction. 
 (f)
immediately notify the Holders or each underwriter, if any, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to
such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable 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 and promptly prepare and make available to the Holders or underwriter, if any, and file with the Commission any such supplement or amendment. 

(g) enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such all other
actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities 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 the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. 
 (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 underwriter (if any), give to each underwriter (if any)
and its 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 the underwriter, to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, provided that any such discussions shall be done in
a manner so as to not unreasonably disrupt the operation of the business of the Company. 
 (i) use its
commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Holders and to each such underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such person or underwriter, 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 the Holders (solely in the case
of a Demand Registration) or underwriter reasonably requests. 
 (j) use its commercially reasonable efforts to
list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange or quotation system on which any of the Registrable Securities are then listed or traded. 

(k) provide a transfer agent, a registrar and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities not later than the
effective date of such registration statement. 
 (l) have appropriate officers of the Company or its general
partner (i) prepare and make presentations at “road shows” and before analysts and rating agencies, as the case may be, (ii) take other actions to obtain ratings for any Registrable Securities 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; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such officers of the Company and/or
its general partner shall not be required to participate in more than five (5) Business Days per any Demand Registration in total of such presentations, road shows or any other marketing or selling events. 

(m) cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely delivery of Registrable Securities to be sold, which shall not
bear any restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may reasonably request at least two (2) Business Days prior to the closing of any sale of
Registrable Securities. 
 6.2 Additional Holder Obligations. 

(a) The Holders shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself and the distribution of
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. 

(b) Each Holder of Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
the Company of the happening of any event of the kind referred to in Section 6.1(f), such Holder will immediately discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1(f) and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company, or destroy, all copies in such Holder’s possession of any prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 7. Registration Expenses. 

7.1 Company’s Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2, all expenses incident to the Company’s
performance of, or compliance with, this Agreement, including, but not limited 







 
to, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be
borne by the Company, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay sales commissions, discounts or transfer taxes. In addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, but not limited to, all salaries and expenses of
its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance obtained by the Company and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be
registered on each securities exchange. In connection with any other resales of Registrable Securities under shelf registrations under Section 3, the Company shall reimburse the Holders of such Registrable Securities for the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel chosen by the Holders of more than 50% of such Registrable Securities, it being understood that such costs and expenses shall be considered “Registration Expenses” for purposes of this Agreement. 

7.2 Holder’s Expenses. In connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, the Company shall reimburse the
Holders of such Registrable Securities for the reasonable cost and expenses incurred by such Holders in connection with such Registration (excluding, for purposes of clarity, sales commissions, discounts and transfer taxes), including, but not
limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the Holders of more than 50% of such Registrable Securities, it being understood that such costs and expenses shall be considered “Registration Expenses” for purposes
of this Agreement. 
 8. Indemnification. 
 8.1 By the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder, its officers, employees and directors and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning
of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration
statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for the acknowledged purpose of use therein or by such Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors
and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders. The payments required by this Section 8.1 shall be made
periodically during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred. 
 8.2
By Each Holder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such
registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, indemnify the Company, its directors, employees and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or omission is 







 
contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for the acknowledged purpose of inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus; provided that (1) the obligation to indemnify will be several, not joint and several, among such Holders and (2) the liability of each such Holder will be in proportion to and limited in all events to the net amount
received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. 
 8.3
Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”)
promptly after such Indemnified Party has received written notice of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom,
provided that such counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
Indemnified Party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall bear the expense of such defense of the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such expenses,
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party,
based upon the advice of such Indemnified Party’s counsel, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest or that there may be defenses available to the Indemnified
Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party); provided,
further, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same event, allegations or circumstances. The Indemnified Party shall not make any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party (not to be withheld, conditioned or delayed unreasonably), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless the judgment or
proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages (none of which shall be required to be paid by the Indemnified Party), does not require an admission of any wrongdoing by or liability of the Indemnified Party, includes a full and
unconditional release and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party. 
 8.4
Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such
Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of securities. 
 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for
in Section 8 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to or unenforceable by the Indemnified Party in respect to any costs, fines, penalties, 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 costs, fines, penalties, 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 costs, fines, penalties, 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 as a result of the costs, fines penalties, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7, 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 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. 
 10. Cooperation by the Company. From and after the applicable Lockup Date, if any Holder shall transfer any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor
statute), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with such Holder and shall provide to the Holder such information as may be required to be provided thereunder. 

11. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten
unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by such Person or Persons entitled to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers
of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The foregoing notwithstanding, with respect to any of the documents and/or agreements
referred to in this Section 11, (i) no Holder shall be required to make any representations and warranties with respect to or on behalf of the Company or any other holder of securities of the Company and (ii) the liability of any
Holder shall be limited as provided in Section 8.2. 
 12. Miscellaneous. 

12.1 No Inconsistent Agreements. 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 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Founder,
Carlyle Partner or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), the Company shall promptly send a copy thereof to the Holders. If such registration rights agreement is on terms more favorable than those set forth herein, this Agreement
shall, to the extent so requested by the Holders, be amended so as to provide the Holders with substantially the same material terms as provided to such other third party. 
 12.2 Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its Certificate of Formation or other governing documents
which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Holders to include their Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration. 
 12.3 Other Registration Rights. The Company
will not hereafter grant to any Person or Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, or to participate in any
registration, which right conflicts or interferes with any of the rights granted hereunder or to the extent such participation rights provide for the inclusion of securities on a parity with or prior to the inclusion of Registrable Securities. The
Company will not include in any Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown any Securities which are not Registrable Securities (for the purposes of Section 2 or Section 3, as applicable) unless and until all Registrable Securities
requested to be registered have first been so included. 







 12.4 Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived at any time only by the written agreement of the Company (or its successor) and the Holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Registrable Securities. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of
any kind or character on the part of any such Holders of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance
with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Holder and the Company. 
 12.5 Successors and Assigns. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, whether so
expressed or not. 
 12.6 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience
of reference only and do not constitute a part of and shall not be utilized in interpreting this Agreement.

other equitable remedy that may then be available without posting any bond or the necessity of showing actual monetary damages in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. 

13.4 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 prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the

 13.6 Execution in Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

14. Arbitration. 
 (a) Any dispute with respect to this Agreement or any Person’s direct or indirect rights or obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the construction of this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation a breach, default, misrepresentation or any determination made by a party hereto pursuant to this Agreement, or failure to agree pursuant to any provision which expressly requires
mutual agreement among the parties, shall, after the unsuccessful negotiation in good faith by the parties hereto, be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in London, England, under the London Court of International Arbitration Rules, as
then in effect, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 14. Such arbitration shall be the exclusive manner pursuant to which any dispute shall be resolved. The arbitration shall be presided over by three
arbitrators. One arbitrator shall be appointed by a party or parties in dispute, and one shall be appointed by the other party or parties in dispute. The third arbitrator shall be appointed by the first two arbitrators. In the event of the failure
of either side in dispute to appoint an arbitrator or 







 
in the event of the failure of the first two arbitrators to agree on the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after their appointment, that arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance
with the London Court of International Arbitration Rules. Hearings in such arbitration proceeding shall commence within thirty (30) days of the selection of the arbitrators or as soon thereafter as the arbitrators determine. The arbitrators
shall deliver their opinion within thirty (30) days after the completion of the arbitration hearings. The arbitrators’ decision shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction by any of the parties. The arbitrators shall have the power to grant temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrators
pursuant to Section 14(e), the arbitrators’ expenses shall be shared equally by the relevant Holders, on the one hand, and the Company on the other hand. 

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of
England located in London, England over any suit, action or proceeding with respect to enforcement of any arbitral award or decision rendered in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and (ii) waives any objection that it may have to the
venue of any suit, action or proceeding with respect to enforcement of any arbitral award or decision rendered in accordance with the foregoing provisions in the courts of England located in London, England. For the avoidance of doubt, where an
arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Agreement, the whole of its award shall be deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards of 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement (and judgment
on any such award may be entered in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 14). The Holders acknowledge that they are commercial entities separate from (and with an identity separate from) its direct and indirect shareholders,
are capable of suing and being sued and is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as private law commercial transactions that shall not be deemed as being entered into in the exercise of any public functions and shall not
assert otherwise in any judicial proceedings ancillary to an arbitration hereunder. 
 (c) Service of
Process. The parties hereto agree that the process by which any arbitral or other proceedings (“Proceedings”) in England are begun may be served on them by being delivered to Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited or their
registered offices for the time being and by giving notice in accordance with Section 13. If Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited is not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process in England on any party’s
behalf, such party shall immediately appoint a further Person in England to accept service of process on its behalf. If within 15 days of notice from a party requiring another party to appoint a Person in England to accept service of process on its
behalf the other party fails to do so, the party shall be entitled to appoint such a Person by written notice to the other party. Nothing in this Section 14 shall affect the right of the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by
applicable law. 
 (d) Consent to Enforcement etc. Each of the parties hereto consents generally in
respect of any Proceedings to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such Proceedings including, without limitation, the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever, irrespective of its use or
intended use, of any order or judgment which is made or given in such Proceedings. No finding of fact, conclusion of law, decision, award, judgment or the like, or other issue decided or made in any Proceeding brought in New York, New York or any
other jurisdiction, shall be admitted, considered or determinative in any Proceeding brought in London, England pursuant to this Section 14. 
 (e) Attorney’s Fees. If any arbitration is brought under this Section 14, the arbitrators may award the successful or prevailing party or parties reasonable attorneys’ fees and








 
other costs incurred in that arbitration proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled. If any other proceeding is brought by one or more parties against one or
more other parties to enforce an arbitration award, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover its or their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any
other relief to which it or they may be entitled. For purposes of this Section 14(e), the determination of a successful or prevailing party or parties shall be an issue of fact to be determined by the finder of fact.
