(iii) to the extent that the VCOC Investor requests to receive such information and rights, and to the extent consistent with
applicable Law or listing standards (and with respect to events which require public disclosure, only following the Company’s public disclosure thereof through applicable securities law filings or otherwise), inform each VCOC Investor or its
designated representative in advance with respect to any significant corporate actions, and to provide (or cause to be provided) each VCOC Investor or its designated representative with the right to consult with the Company and its Subsidiaries with

provided, further, that the Company shall be under no obligation to provide the VCOC Investor with any material non-public information with respect to such corporate action; and 

(iv) provide each VCOC Investor or its designated representative with such other rights of consultation which the VCOC
Investor’s counsel may determine in writing to be reasonably necessary under applicable legal authorities promulgated after the date hereof to qualify its investment in the Company as a “venture capital investment” for purposes of the
Plan Asset Regulation; provided that the parties agree that any such rights of consultation shall be of a nature consistent with those granted above and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the Company to grant to the VCOC
Investor any additional rights with respect to the governance or management of the Company. 
 (b) The Company agrees to consider, in good
faith, the recommendations of each VCOC Investor or its designated representative in connection with the matters on which it is consulted as described above in this Section 3.3, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to
all such matters shall be retained by the Company.

 8

defined in the first sentence of 2510.3-101(c)(1) of the Plan Asset Regulation), or the investment in the Company by a VCOC Investor does not qualify as a “venture capital investment” as defined in the Plan Asset Regulation, then the
Company and each Blackstone Entity will cooperate in good faith to take all reasonable actions necessary, subject to applicable Law, to preserve the VCOC status of each VCOC Investor or the qualification of the investment as a “venture capital
investment,” it being understood that such reasonable actions shall not require a VCOC Investor to purchase or sell any investments. 

(e) For so long as the VCOC Investor, directly or through one or more subsidiaries, continues to hold any shares of Common Stock (or other
securities of the Company into which such shares of Common Stock may be converted or for which such shares of Common Stock may be exchanged) and upon the written request of such VCOC Investor, without limitation or prejudice of any the rights
provided to the Blackstone Entities hereunder, the Company shall, with respect to each such VCOC Investor, furnish and deliver, and in its capacity as the general partner of Summit Holdings, cause Summit Holdings to furnish and deliver, a letter
covering the matters set forth in Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(c) and 3.3(d) hereof in a form and substance satisfactory to such VCOC Investor.
