 (ii) (A) counsel for the Management Stockholder (which counsel shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from
registration under the Act and (B) if the Management Stockholder is a citizen or resident of any country other than the United States, or the Management Stockholder desires to effect any transfer in any such country, counsel for the Management
Stockholder (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion or other advice reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to the effect that such transfer will comply

 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDER’S AGREEMENT DATED AS OF

regulations promulgated under the Act, such disposition can be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Rule and (3) if the Rule 144 exemption is not available, public sale without registration will require
compliance with some other exemption under the Act.

Offering and ninety (90) days (or in an underwritten offering such shorter period as may be consented to by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any) in the case of any other Public Offering after, the effective date of such
registration statement, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company. 
 (f) The Management Stockholder represents and warrants that
(i) with respect to the Stock, he has received and reviewed the available information relating to the Stock, including having received and reviewed the documents related thereto, certain of which documents set forth the rights, preferences and
restrictions relating to the Options and the Stock underlying the Options and (ii) he has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information, the Company

the Closing Date, (ii) the date of consummation of a Qualified Public Offering and (iii) a Change in Control; provided, however, that the Management Stockholder may transfer shares of Stock during such time pursuant to one of

the following exceptions: (a) transfers permitted by Section 5 or 6; (b) transfers permitted by clauses (y) and (z) of Section 2(a); (c) a sale of shares of

such shares in violation hereof shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company and any such transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect. 
 4. Right of First Refusal. (a) If, at any time after the Lapse Date and prior to the date of consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the Management Stockholder receives a bona fide offer to
purchase any or all of his Stock (the “Third Party Offer”) from a third party (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any transfers pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) of Section 2(a) or pursuant to the Sale
Participation Agreement) (the “Offeror”), which the Management Stockholder wishes to accept, the Management Stockholder shall cause the Third Party Offer to be reduced to writing and shall notify the Company in writing of his wish to
accept the Third Party Offer. The Management Stockholder’s notice to the Company shall contain an irrevocable offer to sell such Stock to the Company (in the manner set forth below) at a purchase price equal to the price contained in, and on
the same terms and conditions of, the Third Party Offer, and shall be accompanied by a copy of the Third Party Offer (which shall identify the Offeror). At any time within fifteen (15) days after the date of the receipt by the Company of the
Management Stockholder’s notice, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a third party to purchase, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Stock covered by the Third Party Offer, pursuant to
Section 4(b). 
 (b) The Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a third party to purchase, all of the
shares of Stock covered by the Third Party Offer at the same price and on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Third Party Offer (or, if the Third Party Offer includes any consideration other than cash, then at the sole option of the
Company, at the equivalent all cash price, determined in good faith by the Company’s Board), by delivering a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management
Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) (and any such non-cash consideration to be paid) to the Management Stockholder at the principal office of the Company against delivery of certificates or other instruments
representing the shares of Stock so purchased, appropriately endorsed by the Management Stockholder. If at the end of the 15-day period, the Company has not tendered the purchase price for such shares in the manner set forth above, the Management
Stockholder may, during the succeeding 60-day period, sell not less than all of the shares of Stock covered by the Third Party Offer, to the Offeror on terms no less favorable to the Management Stockholder than those contained in the Third Party
Offer. Promptly after such sale, the Management Stockholder shall notify the Company of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of such sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be
requested by the Company. If, at the end of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the 15-day period during which the Company is entitled hereunder to purchase the Stock, the Management Stockholder has not completed the sale of such shares
of the Stock as aforesaid, all of the restrictions on sale, transfer or assignment contained in this Agreement shall again be in effect with respect to such shares of the Stock.

 5. The Management Stockholder’s Right to Resell Stock and Options to the Company. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein and for the purpose of providing a market for the Stock or Options for the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities, if, prior to the Lapse Date, either (x) prior to Retirement, the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) terminates as a result of the death or Disability of the Management Stockholder or
(y) after Retirement, the Management Stockholder dies or suffers a Disability, then the applicable Management Stockholder Entity, shall, for one year following the date of (x) such termination for death or Disability or (y) such death
or Disability, respectively (as applicable, the “Put Period”), have the right to: 
 (i) With respect to the Stock, sell to the
Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to Fair Market Value (the “Section 5 Repurchase
Price”) at the time of the purchase; 
 (ii) With respect to any outstanding Options, receive from the Company, on one occasion, in
exchange for all of the exercisable portions of the Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Section 5 Repurchase Price at the time of the
exchange over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment, which shall be payable in shares of Stock (the “Net Settled Stock”). In the event
the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable portions of the Options granted to the Management Stockholder under the Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof.
In the event that the Management Stockholder Entities do not exercise the foregoing rights, the exercisable but unexercised portions of the Options shall terminate in accordance with the terms of Section 4(a) of the Stock Option Agreement.
Subject to the Stock Option Agreement, the unexercisable portions of the Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities shall terminate without payment immediately upon termination of employment in accordance with Section 3(c)
of the Stock Option Agreement. 
 (iii) For 30 days following the six month anniversary (the “Settled Stock Put Period”) of the
receipt by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Net Settled Stock, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all such Net Settled Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities at a per share price equal to the Section 5 Repurchase Price at the time of the purchase. 
 (b) In the event the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 5(a), such Management Stockholder Entities shall send written notice to the Company, (i) at any time during the Put Period, of their intention to sell
shares of Stock in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 5(a)(i) and/or to exchange such Options for Net Settled Stock or (ii) at any time during the Settled Stock Put Period, of their intention to sell the Net Settled Stock in
exchange for the payment referred to in Section 5(a)(iii)(the “Redemption Notice”). The completion of the purchases or exchanges shall take place at the principal office of the Company on the tenth business day after the giving of the
Redemption Notice. The applicable Section 5 Repurchase Price shall be paid by 
  

 6 








 
delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) and the Net Settled Stock shall be delivered to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities,
both against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents canceling the Options so terminated appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any
duly authorized representative. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(a) to the contrary and subject to Section 10(a), if there
exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any material loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money
or if the repurchase referred to in Section 5(a) would result in a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company has borrowed money or if a repurchase would not be permitted under Section 170 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or would otherwise violate the DGCL (or if the Company reincorporates in another state,
the business corporation law of such state) (each such occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any of the Stock from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities until the first business day which
is ten (10) calendar days after all of the foregoing Events have ceased to exist (the “Repurchase Eligibility Date”); provided, however, that the number of shares of Stock subject to repurchase under this Section 5(c) shall be
that number of shares of Stock, as specified in the Redemption Notice and held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at the time of delivery of the Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof (as may be adjusted
pursuant to Section 7(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 6(d), if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety (90) days, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to rescind any
Redemption Notice but the Management Stockholder Entities shall have another thirty (30) days from the date the Event ceases to exist to give another Repurchase Notice on the terms applicable to the first Redemption Notice.

for such payment. In the event the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable stock options granted to the Management Stockholder under the Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any

certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents cancelling the Options so terminated, appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized
representative.

Management Stockholder Entities until the Repurchase Eligibility Date; provided, however, that (i) the number of shares of Stock subject to repurchase under this Section 6 shall be that number of shares of Stock (as may be adjusted
pursuant to Section 7(a)), (ii) in the case of a repurchase pursuant to Section 6(b) or 6(c), the number of Exercisable Option Shares for purposes of calculating the Option Excess Price payable under this Section 6 shall be the
number of Exercisable Option Shares, in each case held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at the time of delivery of (and as set forth in) a Call Notice in accordance with Section 6(d) hereof and (iii) the Company may, at

Notice, in the case of a repurchase pursuant to Section 6(b) or 6(c), shall continue to be exercisable until the repurchase of such portions pursuant to such Call Notice, provided that to the extent that any portions of the Options are
exercised after the date of such Call Notice, the number of Exercisable Option Shares for purposes of calculating the Option Excess Price shall be reduced accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety
(90) days, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to cause the Company to rescind any Repurchase Notice but the Company shall have another thirty (30) days from the date the Event ceases to exist to give
another Repurchase Notice on the terms applicable to the first Repurchase Notice. 
 (f) Calculation of Option Excess Price. For the avoidance
of doubt, in any instance where the Company exchanges cash or Stock for Options as set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above, the applicable Option Excess Price shall be calculated in tranches based on the applicable Option Exercise Prices relative to the
applicable Repurchase Price, and not on an aggregate net basis, such that the Option Excess Price of any Options having the same Option Exercise Price, where the Option Excess Price is greater than zero, shall not be netted against the Option Excess
Price of any Options having a different Option Exercise Price, where the Option Excess Price is less than or equal to zero. 
 7. Adjustment of
Repurchase Price; Definitions. 
 (a) Adjustment of Repurchase Price. In determining the applicable repurchase price of the Stock and Options,
as provided for in Sections 5 and 6, above, appropriate adjustments shall be made for any stock dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or any other adjustment in the number of outstanding shares of Stock in order to maintain, as nearly

Registration Rights”), as in effect on the date hereof (subject to any amendments thereto to which the Management Stockholder has agreed in writing to be bound), and, if the Company is selling stock, shall have all of the rights and privileges
of a “Holder” (as defined in the Investor Stockholders Agreement) with respect to Piggyback Registration Rights (including, without limitation, the right to participate in the Qualified Public Offering and any rights to indemnification
and/or contribution from the Company and/or the Investors), in each case as if the Management Stockholder were an original party (other than the Company) to the Investor Stockholder Agreement, subject to applicable and customary underwriter
restrictions; provided, however, that at no time shall the Management Stockholder have any rights to request registration under Section 5.3 of the Investor Stockholders Agreement; and provided further, that the Management Stockholder shall not

 14 








 (b) In the event of a sale of Common Stock by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Investor
Stockholder Agreement, the Company will promptly notify the Management Stockholder in writing (a “Notice”) of any proposed registration (a “Proposed Registration”). If within fifteen (15) days of the receipt by the
Management Stockholder of such Notice, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities a written request (a “Request”) to register shares of Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (which
Request will be irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder and the Company), shares of Stock will be so registered as provided in this Section 9; provided, however, that for each such registration
statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, may be submitted for all Registrable Securities held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities. 

(c) The maximum number of shares of Stock which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the lowest of (i) the number of shares of Stock
then held by the Management Stockholder Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management Stockholder Entities are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised portion of the Options to the extent then exercisable, multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Stock being sold by the Company and any affiliated or unaffiliated investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the Company and the denominator of which
is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the Company and any investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the Company or (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock which the Company can register
in connection with such Request in the Proposed Registration without adverse effect on the offering in the view of the managing underwriters (reduced pro rata as more fully described in subsection (d) of this Section 9 or (iii) the
maximum number of shares which the Management Stockholder (pro rata based upon the aggregate number of shares of Stock the Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders have requested to be registered) is permitted to register under
the Piggyback Registration Rights. 
 (d) If a Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the
Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in the Proposed Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or
distribution of the shares of Stock offered in such Public Offering as contemplated by the Company, then the Company will include in the Proposed Registration (i) first, 100% of the shares of Stock the Company proposes to sell and
(ii) second, to the extent of the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of shares
of Stock which the selling Investors and any affiliated or unaffiliated investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the selling Investors, the Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders
(together, the “Holders”) have requested to be included in the Proposed Registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Stock then held by each such Holder
(including upon exercise of any exercisable portion of the Options) (provided that any shares thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner).

  

 15 








 (e) Upon delivering a Request the Management Stockholder will, if requested by the Company, execute and
deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 9 (a “Custody Agreement
and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or
certificates (to the extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and
attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified
therein. 
 (f) The Management Stockholder agrees that he will execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further
evidence the provisions of this Section 9. 
 10. Pro Rata Repurchases; Dividends. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 4, 5 or 6, if at any time consummation of any purchase or payment to be made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Management Stockholders Agreements would result in an Event, then the Company shall make
purchases from, and payments to, the Management Stockholder and Other Management Stockholders pro rata (on the basis of the proportion of the number of shares of Stock each such Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders have
elected or are required to sell to the Company) for the maximum number of shares of Stock permitted without resulting in an Event (the “Maximum Repurchase Amount”). The provisions of Section 5(c) and 6(e) shall apply in their entirety
to payments and repurchases with respect to shares of Stock which may not be made due to the limits imposed by the Maximum Repurchase Amount under this Section 10(a). Until all of such Stock is purchased and paid for by the Company, the
Management Stockholder and the Other Management Stockholders whose Stock is not purchased in accordance with this Section 10(a) shall have priority, on a pro rata basis, over other purchases of Stock by the Company pursuant to this Agreement
and Other Management Stockholders’ Agreements. 
 (b) In the event any dividends are paid with respect to the Stock, the Management
Stockholder will be treated in the same manner as all other holders of Common Stock with respect to shares of Stock then owned by the Management Stockholder, and, with respect to any Options held by the Management Stockholder, in accordance, as
applicable, with Section 4(b) of the Stock Option Agreement. 
 11. Rights to Negotiate Repurchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to restrict or prohibit the Company from purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring for value shares of Stock or Options from the Management Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price, as may be mutually
agreed upon in writing between the Parties, whether or not at the time of such purchase, redemption or acquisition circumstances exist which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase, or the Management Stockholder the right to sell,
shares of Stock or any Options under the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be entered into,

without limitation, transferees referred to in Section 2(a) or Section 3 hereof) shall derive any rights under this Agreement unless and until such transferee has delivered to the Company a valid undertaking and becomes bound by the terms
