 WHEREAS,
the Company and the Investor are parties to that certain Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investor is purchasing shares of Series C Preferred
Stock (“Series C Shares”); 
 WHEREAS, in order to induce the Investor to invest funds in the Company pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, the Investor and the Company hereby agree that this Agreement shall set forth certain rights and obligations with respect to the shares of the Company’s capital stock beneficially owned by the Investor. 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending
to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following respective meanings: 
 (a) “Affiliate” has the meaning given to that term in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 (b) “Board of
Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 (c) “Bylaws” means the Bylaws of the Company, as
may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time. 
 (d) “Common Stock” means shares of the
Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share. 
 (e) “IPO” means the Company’s first underwritten
public offering of its Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 
 2. Board Representation. 

(a) Subject at all times to Sections 2(b) and 3(n) herein, during the period beginning at the closing of the IPO until the earliest of
(a) the twelfth anniversary of the date of the closing of the IPO; (b) such time as the Investor and its Affiliates no longer beneficially owns at least 7,500,000 Series C Shares or the equivalent of any successor securities issued upon
conversion of such Series C Shares (including shares of voting common stock issued upon conversion of non-voting common stock issued upon conversion of the Series C Shares) (as adjusted for any stock
dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such Series C Shares), or (c) following the third year anniversary of the IPO, (i) with respect to one of its two Investor Designees, such time as the Investor
holds less than 20% of the as-converted securities of the Company, and (ii) with respect to both of its Investor Designees, such time as the Investor holds less than 5% of the as-converted securities of the Company, the Company shall support the nomination of, and cause the Board of Directors (or the nominating committee thereof), subject to the requirements of fiduciary duties under
applicable law, to recommend and include in the slate of nominees recommended to the Company’s 













 
stockholders for election as directors of the Company at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors are to be elected (an “Election
Meeting”), two (2) persons designated at any time and from time to time by the Investor (each an “Investor Designee”); provided that, the Company shall have no obligation to support the nomination of or cause the Board
of Directors to include in the slate of nominees recommended to the Company’s stockholders for election as directors of the Company an Investor Designee if the Investor already has at least two Investor Designees serving as directors on the
Board of Directors at the time of the Election Meeting and the term(s) of such Investor Designee(s) as a director on the Board of Directors does not expire at such Election Meeting. In the event that an Investor Designee resigns from his or her seat
on the Board of Directors or is removed or otherwise fails to become or ceases to be a director for any reason, the vacancy will be filled by the election or appointment of another Investor Designee nominated by the Investor as soon as reasonably
practicable in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Investor will provide the Company, in writing, the information about any Investor Designee that is reasonably required by applicable law promptly after the Company requests
such information from the Investor, and will cause any Investor Designee to submit on a timely basis to the Company a completed and executed questionnaire in the form that the Company provides to its outside directors generally. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a), the Investor shall not be entitled to designate any person as a nominee to the
Board of Directors if (i) a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors reasonably and in good faith determines, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that such person would not be qualified to
serve as a director of the Company under any applicable law (including requirements of fiduciary duties under applicable law), rule or regulation, rule of the stock exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed, the Bylaws or any policy, or
guidelines previously approved by the Board of Directors or (ii) such person is not approved for nomination by the Board of Directors (or the nominating committee thereof). The Company shall notify the Investor as soon as reasonably practicable
of any objection to an Investor Designee pursuant to this Section 2(b) as to enable the Investor to propose a replacement Investor Designee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Investor shall use reasonable best efforts to
propose an Investor Designee sufficiently in advance of the date on which the proxy materials are to be mailed by the Company in connection with an Election Meeting to allow for inclusion of an Investor Designee in such proxy materials. 

3. Miscellaneous.
