Section 2. Demand Registrations. 

(a) Requests for Registration. 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities may request
registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement (“Long-Form Registrations”), and the holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement (“Short-Form Registrations”), if
available. In addition, the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities may assign a right to request one or multiple Long-Form Registrations or Short-Form Registrations, if available, to any holder of Registrable Securities in
connection with the distribution or other transfer of such Registrable Securities. All registrations requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) are referred to herein as “Demand Registrations”. The holders of the
Registrable Securities making a Demand Registration that is a Short-Form Registration may request that the registration be made pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”) and, if the Company is a WKSI at the time any request for
a Demand Registration is submitted to the Company, that such Shelf Registration be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”). Within ten days after the filing of
the registration statement relating to the Demand Registration, the Company shall give written notice of the Demand Registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms of Section 2(e), shall include in
such Demand Registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws and in any related underwriting agreement) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for
inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration, the Company may provide notice
of the Demand Registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities within three business days following the non-confidential filing of the registration statement with respect to the Demand Registration so long as such registration statement
is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. Each Holder agrees that such 

  
 -5- 








 
Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of Demand Registration and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice of Demand Registration without the prior
written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) Long-Form Registrations. 

The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall be entitled to an unlimited number of
Long-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 6(a)), whether or not any such registration is consummated. All Long-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations. In addition, the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities may assign a right to request one or multiple Long-Form Registrations in
which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses to any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with the distribution or other transfer of such Registrable Securities. 

(c) Short-Form Registrations. 

In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to Section 2(b), the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities shall be entitled to an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. The holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities may also assign a right to request one or
multiple Short-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses to any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with the distribution or other transfer of such Registrable Securities. Demand Registrations shall be
Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. 

(d) Shelf Registrations. 

(i) Subject to the availability of required financial information and the Company’s ability to use Form S-3 or any similar
short-form registration statement, as promptly as practicable after the Company receives written notice of a request for a Shelf Registration, the Company shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the
Securities Act for the Shelf Registration (a “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as
practicable after filing, and once effective, the Company shall cause such Shelf Registration Statement to remain continuously effective for such time period as is specified in such request, but for no time period longer than the period ending on
the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the date of filing of such Shelf Registration, (B) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration, and
(C) the date as of which there are no longer any Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration in existence. Without 

  
 -6- 








 
limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless Holdings instructs the Company otherwise in writing, prior to expiration of the Holdback Period, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to prepare a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to all of the Registrable Securities held by Holdings (or such other number of Registrable Securities specified in writing by Holdings) to enable such Shelf Registration Statement to be filed
with the SEC as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Holdback Period. 
 (ii) In the event that a Shelf
Registration Statement is effective, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement shall have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell pursuant to an offering (including an
underwritten offering) Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”), so long as the Shelf Registration Statement remains in effect, and the Company shall pay all
Registration Expenses in connection therewith. The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request (a “Shelf Offering
Request”) for such offering specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that the holders desire to sell pursuant to such offering (the “Shelf Offering”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than two business
days after receipt of a Shelf Offering Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf Offering Notice”) of such Shelf Offering Request to all other holders of Shelf Registrable Securities. The Company, subject to
Sections 1(e) and 8 hereof, shall include in such Shelf Offering the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other holder of Shelf Registrable Securities that shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Shelf Offering
(which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within seven days after the receipt of the Shelf Offering Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible (and in any
event within 20 days after the receipt of a Shelf Offering Request, unless a longer period is agreed to by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that made the Shelf Offering Request), use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate
such Shelf Offering. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Shelf Offering Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Shelf Offering Notice without the prior written consent of
the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. 

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration
Statement wish to engage in an underwritten block trade off of such Shelf Registration Statement (either through filing an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or through a take-down from an already existing Shelf Registration Statement), then
notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, such Holders only need to notify the Company of the block trade Shelf Offering two business days prior to the day such offering is to commence (unless a longer period is agreed to by the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the underwritten block trade) and the Company shall promptly notify other holders of Registrable Securities and such other holders of Registrable Securities must elect whether or not to
participate by the next business day (i.e. one business day prior to the day such 

  
 -7- 








 
offering is to commence) (unless a longer period is agreed to by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the underwritten block trade) and the Company shall
as expeditiously as possible use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such offering (which may close as early as three business days after the date it commences); provided that the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall use reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering
documentation related to the underwritten block trade. 
 (iv) The Company shall, at the request of the holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement, file any prospectus supplement or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise take
any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to effect such Shelf Offering. 

(e) Priority on Demand Registrations and Shelf Offerings. 

The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior
written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. If a Demand Registration or a Shelf Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing
that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold therein
without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such offering prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities the
number of Registrable Securities requested to be included which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective Holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities
owned by each such Holder. 
 (f) Restrictions on Demand Registration and Shelf Offerings 

(i) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 60 days after the effective date of a previous
Demand Registration or a previous registration in which Registrable Securities were included pursuant to Section 3 and in which there was no reduction in the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included. The Company may,
with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, postpone, for up to 60 days from the date of the request, the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a
prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement for up to 60 days from the date of the Suspension Notice (as defined herein) and therefore suspend sales of the Shelf Registrable Securities (such period, the “Suspension
Period”) by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities if (A) the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the offer or sale of Registrable


  
 -8- 








 
Securities would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any Subsidiary to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other
than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving the Company, (B) upon advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the registration statement would require disclosure of non-public material information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (C) (x) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality
of such transaction or (y) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction; provided that in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled
to withdraw such request for a Demand Registration or underwritten Shelf Offering and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering. The Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness
of a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering hereunder only once in any twelve-month period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may in any event delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering in the
case of an event described under Section 5(a)(vi) to enable it to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 5(a)(vi). The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive 60 days with the consent of the holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (ii) In the case of an
event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement as set forth in paragraph (f)(i) above or pursuant to Section 5(a)(vi) hereof (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give a
notice to the holders of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice shall state generally the basis for the
notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) at
any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined herein). Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and
shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a
result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to
such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and to the Holders’ Counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension
Event and its effect. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension
Notice with respect to any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(f), the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such Shelf Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to


  
 -9- 








 
this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of
Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer
Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (g) Selection of Underwriters. 

The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in any Demand Registration shall have the right to select the investment
banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, subject to the Company’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any Shelf Offering is an Underwritten Offering, the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities participating in such Underwritten Offering shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering relating to such Shelf Offering, subject to the Company’s approval, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 (h) Other Registration Rights. 

Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company or any Subsidiary to register
any Capital Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. 

Section 3. Piggyback Registrations. 

(a) Right to Piggyback. 

Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to a Demand
Registration, (ii) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor or similar forms or
(iii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities), and the registration form to be used may be
used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event within three business days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of demand
registration rights other than under this Agreement) to the holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms of Section 3(c) and Section 3(d), shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related
registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after delivery of the Company’s
notice. 

  
 -10- 








 (b) Piggyback Expenses. 

The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not
any such registration became effective. 
 (c) Priority on Primary Registrations. 

If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company
in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of
distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the
opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, other
securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect. Registrable Securities beneficially owned by any officer or employee of the Company shall not be
eligible to be included in any primary offering of Common Stock without the Company’s consent. 
 (d) Priority on Secondary
Registrations. 
 If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s
securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting
the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders initially requesting such
registration and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis
of the number of Registrable Securities owned by such Holder, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect. 

(e) Selection of Underwriters. 

If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the selection of investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering must be
approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

(f) Right to Terminate Registration. 

The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 whether or not any
holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 6. 

  
 -11- 








 Section 4. Holdback Agreements. 

(a) Holders of Registrable Securities. 

If required by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, each holder of Registrable Securities shall enter into lock-up
agreements with the managing underwriter(s) of an underwritten Public Offering in such form as agreed to by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in such Public Offering. In the absence of any such lock-up agreement,
each holder of Registrable Securities agrees as follows: 
 (i) in connection with the Company’s initial Public
Offering, such Holder shall not (A) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any Capital Stock of the Company (including Capital Stock of the Company that may
be deemed to be owned beneficially by such holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (collectively, “Securities”), (B) enter into a transaction which would have the same
effect as described in clause (A) above, (C) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by

days following the date of the final prospectus for such initial Public Offering (the “Holdback Period”), unless the underwriters managing the Public Offering otherwise agree in writing; 

(ii) in connection with all underwritten Public Offerings other than the Company’s initial Public Offering, such Holder
shall not effect any Sale Transaction commencing on the earlier of the date on which the Company gives notice to the holders of Registrable Securities of the circulation of a preliminary or final prospectus for such Public Offering or the
“pricing” of such offering and continuing to the date that is 90 days following the date of the final prospectus for such Public Offering (a “Follow-On Holdback Period”), unless, if an underwritten Public Offering, the
underwriters managing the Public Offering otherwise agree in writing; and 
 (iii) in the event that (A) the Company
issues an earnings release or discloses other material information or a material event relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries occurs during the last 17 days of the Holdback Period or any Follow-On Holdback Period (as applicable) or
(B) prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period or any Follow-On Holdback Period (as applicable), 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 hereunder to comply with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4), if agreed to by the

exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a Public Offering) and (B) each of its directors and executive officers to agree not to effect any Sale
Transaction during any Holdback Period or Follow-On Holdback Period (as extended during any Holdback Extension), except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted, unless the underwriters managing the Public Offering otherwise

Securities requesting registration, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible: 
 (i) in accordance
with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto and related prospectuses, with

comment of such counsel);

statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period ending when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance
with the intended methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement (but not in any event before the expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act or, if such registration statement relates
to an underwritten Public Offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sale of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer) and comply with
the provisions of the Securities 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 sellers thereof set forth in such
registration statement; 
 (iv) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities thereunder such number of copies of such

request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; 
 (v) use its reasonable
best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests 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 (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 subparagraph or (B) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction); 

(vi) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities (A) promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the date and time
when such registration statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a prospectus or supplement to any prospectus relating to a registration statement has been filed and when any registration or qualification has become
effective under a state securities or blue sky law or any exemption thereunder has been obtained, (B) promptly after receipt thereof, of any request by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the amendment or supplementing of such
registration statement or prospectus or for additional information, and (C) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus


  
 -14- 








 
included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, subject to
Section 2(f), at the request of any such seller, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

(vii) use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market markers to register as such with respect
to such Registrable Securities with FINRA; 
 (viii) use reasonable best efforts to provide a transfer agent and registrar
for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement; 
 (ix) enter into and
perform such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to
expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or reorganization); 

(x) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition
pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of the Company as shall be
necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement; 
 (xi) take all
reasonable actions to ensure that any Free-Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the
Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

(xii) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter
after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158. 

  
 -15- 








 (xiii) permit any Holder of Registrable Securities which, in its sole and
exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to allow such Holder to provide language for insertion therein, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which in the reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should be included; 

(xiv) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the issuance
of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction use reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the
withdrawal of such order; 
 (xv) use its reasonable 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 as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

(xvi) 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 such holders may request; 
 (xvii) cooperate with
each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement 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; 
 (xviii) use its reasonable 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” or other selling efforts that may be reasonably requested by the Holders in connection with the methods of distribution for the Registrable Securities;

 (xix) in the case of any underwritten offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain one or more cold comfort letters
from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request; 

(xx) in the case of any underwritten offering, use its reasonable best efforts to provide a legal opinion of the Company’s
outside counsel, dated the effective 

  
 -16- 








 
date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten Public Offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), each amendment and
supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature, which
opinion shall be addressed to the underwriters and the holders of such Registrable Securities; 
 (xxi) if the Company files
an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405)) during the period during which such Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement is required to remain effective; 
 (xxii) if the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the
Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold; and 

(xxiii) if the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the
third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, use its reasonable
best efforts to refile the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective during the period throughout which such registration statement is required to be kept
effective. 
 (b) Any officer of the Company who is a holder of Registrable Securities agrees that if and for so long as he or she is
employed by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, he or she shall participate fully in the sale process in a manner customary for persons in like positions and consistent with his or her other duties with the Company, including the preparation of
the registration statement and the preparation and presentation of any road shows. 
 (c) The Company may require each seller of Registrable
Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. 

(d) If Holdings or MDP or any of their respective Affiliates seek to effectuate a distribution in kind of all or part of their respective
Registrable Securities to their respective direct or indirect equityholders, the Company shall, subject to any applicable lock-up agreements, work with the foregoing persons to facilitate such distribution in kind in the manner reasonably requested.

 Section 6. Registration Expenses. 

(a) The Company’s Obligation. 

All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, all registration,
qualification and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all
independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company) (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne as
provided in this Agreement, except that the Company shall, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, 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 and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed. Each Person
that sells securities pursuant to a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration hereunder shall bear and pay all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the securities sold for such Person’s account. 

(b) Counsel Fees and Disbursements. 

In connection with each Demand Registration, each Piggyback Registration and each Shelf Offering that is an underwritten Public Offering, the
Company shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration or
participating in such Shelf Offering and reasonable disbursements of each additional counsel retained by any holder of Registrable Securities for the purpose of rendering a legal opinion on behalf of such Holder in connection with any underwritten
Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration or Shelf Offering. 
 Section 7. Indemnification and Contribution. 

(a) By the Company. 
 The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, such Holder’s officers, directors employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls such Holder (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including
reasonable attorney fees and expenses) caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or related to any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any
application or other document or communication (in this Section 7, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company
filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required 

  
 -18- 








 
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal
or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. In addition, the
Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary
prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the
Company by such Indemnified Party expressly for use therein or by such Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such
Indemnified Party 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 Indemnified Parties. 
 (b)
By Each Security Holder. 
 In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is
participating, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits 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 officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities 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 any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder; provided that
the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. 

(c) Claim Procedure. 
 Any
Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall impair any
Person’s right to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such failure has prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and
indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. 

  
 -19- 








 
If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by
such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In
such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration if such Holders are indemnified parties, at the
expense of the indemnifying party. 
 (d) Contribution. 

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or is
insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be
limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities and
their successors and assigns agree that it would not be just or equitable if the contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
such equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject hereof. 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 is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (e) Release. 

No indemnifying party shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. 

  
 -20- 








 (f) Non-exclusive Remedy; Survival. 

The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or
contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and 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 Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

Section 8. Underwritten Offerings. 

(a) Participation. 
 No
Person may participate in any offering hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled
hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell
more than the number of Registrable Securities such Holder has requested to include) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of
such underwriting arrangements. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such Holder’s
obligations under Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 8(a) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with,
Section 4 and this Section 8(a), the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the Holders, the Company and the underwriters created pursuant to
this Section 8(a). 
 (b) Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an underwritten Demand Registration or Underwritten
Takedown requested by Holders pursuant to this Agreement, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities included in such underwritten offering. 
 (c) Suspended Distributions. 

Each Person that is participating in any registration under this Agreement, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 5(a)(vi), shall immediately discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or
amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 5(a)(vi). In the event the Company has given any such notice, the applicable time period set forth in Section 2(d)(i) during which a Registration Statement is to remain 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 this Section 8(c) to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5(a)(vi). 

  
 -21- 








 Section 9. Additional Parties; Joinder. 

Subject to the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company may permit any Person who acquires
Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock from the Company after the date hereof (the “Acquired Common”) to become a party to this Agreement and to succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a “holder of Registrable
Securities” under this Agreement by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder by such
Person, the Common Stock acquired by such Person shall constitute Registrable Securities and such Person shall be a Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement with respect to the Acquired Common, and the Company shall add such
Person’s name and address to the Schedule of Investors hereto and circulate such information to the parties to this Agreement. 

Section 10. Current Public Information. 

At all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of
either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as any holder or holders of Registrable Securities may
reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such Holders to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144. Upon request, the Company shall deliver to any holder of Restricted Securities a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements. 
 Section 11. Subsidiary Public Offering. 

If, after an initial Public Offering of the Capital Stock of one of its Subsidiaries, the Company distributes securities of such Subsidiary to
its equity holders, then the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Subsidiary, and the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with such Subsidiary’s obligations
under this Agreement. 
 Section 12. Transfer of Registrable Securities. 

(a) Restrictions on Transfers. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except in the case of (i) a transfer to the Company, (ii) a transfer by
Holdings, MDP or any Affiliate of MDP to their respective limited partners or members, (iii) a Public Offering, (iv) a sale pursuant to Rule 144 after the completion of the Company’s initial Public Offering or (v) a transfer in
connection with a Sale of the Company, prior to transferring any Registrable Securities to any Person (including, 

  
 -22- 








 
without limitation, by operation of law), the transferring Holder shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder agreeing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement. Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Registrable Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such
Registrable Securities as the owner thereof for any purpose. 
 (b) Legend. 

Each certificate evidencing any Registrable Securities and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any Registrable
Securities (unless such Registrable Securities would no longer be Registrable Securities after such transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN
A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF OCTOBER 7, 2014 AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT WILL BE
FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.” 
 The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing
Registrable Securities outstanding prior to the date of the Agreement. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities. 

Section 13. General Provisions 

(a) Amendments and Waivers. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of
the Company and holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver that would materially and adversely affect a Holder or group of holders of Registrable Securities in a manner
materially different than any other Holder or group of holders of Registrable Securities (other than amendments and modifications required to implement the provisions of Section 9), shall be effective against such Holder or group of
holders of Registrable Securities without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are held by the group of Holders that is materially and adversely affected thereby. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver
or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by
that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement. 

  
 -23- 








 (b) Remedies. 

The parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically
(without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto and their successors and assigns agree and
acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement. 

(c) 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, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 (d) Entire Agreement. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way, including pursuant to the
