OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT 

THIS OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between the Company and the the Participant as of the
Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. 

WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the grant of Stock Options; and 

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its members to grant the Participant an award
of Options on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. 
 NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration
of the premises and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves and their successors and
assigns, hereby agree as follows: 
 1.    Grant of Options. 

(a)    Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Options set forth in the Grant Notice on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this Agreement, and the Plan. Each Option represents the right to purchase one Share. 

(b)    Incorporation by Reference. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. Except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 

2.    Vesting. The Options shall vest and become exercisable [insert vesting schedule], subject to the
Participant not incurring a Separation from Service prior to the applicable vesting date. 
 3.    Exercise of the
Option. 
 (a)    Right to Exercise. The Options shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms set forth
in this Agreement. The Options, to the extent exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part. No Option may be exercised after it expires. No Shares will be issued upon the exercise of any Option unless the issuance and exercise comply with all
Applicable Laws. For income tax purposes, Shares will be considered transferred to the Participant on the date the Participant properly exercises an Option. 

(b)    Separation from Service. If the Participant incurs a Separation from Service for any reason other than
Disability, death, or Cause, any unvested Options shall expire immediately, and any vested Options shall remain exercisable for 30 days following such Separation from Service. If the Participant incurs a Separation from Service due to
Disability or death, any unvested Options shall expire immediately, and any vested Options shall remain exercisable for 180 days following such Separation from Service. If the Participant incurs a

  
 A-1 

 
Separation from Service for Cause, all of the Options, whether or not vested, shall expire immediately. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Options may not be exercised after the
Expiration Date set forth in the Grant Notice. 
 (c)    Method of Exercise. The Participant may exercise the
Options by delivering an exercise notice in a form approved by the Company (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice must state the Participant’s election to exercise the Options, the number of Shares that are being
purchased, and any other representations and agreements that may be required by the Company. Together with the Exercise Notice, the Participant must tender payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for all Shares exercised and all applicable
withholding and other taxes. The Options shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of a fully executed Exercise Notice and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and all applicable withholding and other taxes. 

(d)    Method of Payment. If the Participant elects to exercise the Options, the Participant must pay the aggregate
Exercise Price, as well as any applicable withholding or other taxes, in accordance with any of the payment methods set forth in, and approved by the Committee pursuant to, Section 6.4(d) of the Plan (or any successor sections). 

(e)    Restrictions on Exercise. The Participant may not exercise any Option (i) if it is an Incentive Stock
Option and the Plan has not been approved by the Stockholders or (ii) if the issuance of Shares upon exercise or the method of payment for those Shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law or Company policy. 

4.    Rights as Stockholder. Until such time as the Options have been exercised pursuant to
Section 3 and Shares have been issued to the Participant, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder, including, without limitation, any right to dividends or other distributions or any right to vote. 

5.    Taxes. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to
remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local, and foreign taxes of any kind that the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable
law, rule, or regulation with respect to the Options and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement. If the Options granted hereunder
constitute Incentive Stock Options and the Participant makes any disposition of Shares delivered upon exercise of such Options under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), the
Participant must notify the Company of such disposition within 10 days following such disposition. 
 6.    Non-Transferability. Except as set forth in Section 6.3 of the Plan, the Options may not, at any time prior to being settled, be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold, or otherwise transferred or
encumbered by the Participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or her (or his or her legal representative in the event of incapacity). Any such
purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. 

  
 A-2 

 7.    Miscellaneous. 

(a)    Clawback. All awards, amounts, and benefits received or outstanding under the Plan will be subject to
clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback, reduction, or other similar action in accordance with the terms of any Company clawback or similar policy or any Applicable Law related to such actions, as may be in effect from time to time.
The Participant acknowledges and expressly agrees to the Company’s application, implementation, and enforcement of any applicable Company clawback or similar policy that may apply to the Participant, whether adopted before or after the Grant
Date (including the forfeiture, clawback, and detrimental conduct terms contained in Section 13.22 of the Plan as of the Grant Date (and any successor terms)), and any term of Applicable Law relating to clawback, cancellation, recoupment,
rescission, payback, or reduction of compensation, and the Company may take such actions as may be necessary to effectuate any such policy or Applicable Law, without further consideration or action. 

(b)    Compliance with Laws. The grant of Options and the issuance of Shares hereunder shall be subject to, and
shall comply with, any applicable requirements of any foreign and U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules, and regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and in each case any respective
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and any other law, rule, regulation, or exchange requirement applicable thereto. 

(c)    Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and
its successors and assigns, and of the Participant and the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, and heirs of the Participant. 

(d)    No Waiver; Amendment. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other
right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach
or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach. This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Committee, except that no amendment may, without the Participant’s consent, materially impair the Participant’s rights under the Award.

 (e)    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. 

(f)    No Right to Service. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant any
right to be retained, in any position, as an employee, consultant, or director of the Company or its subsidiaries or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or its subsidiaries to remove, terminate, or discharge the
Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever. 
 (g)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Grant Notice,
and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior communications, representations, and negotiations with respect thereto. 

  
 A-3 

 (h)    Bound by the Plan. By signing this Agreement, the
Participant acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan and has had an opportunity to review the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the Plan and this
Agreement, this Agreement shall control. 
 (i)    Governing Law. The Participant acknowledges and expressly
agrees to the governing law terms of Section 13.9 of the Plan (and any successor terms) and the jurisdiction and waiver of jury trial terms of Section 13.10 of the Plan (and any successor terms). 

(j)    Business Days. If any time period for giving notice or taking action hereunder expires on a day that is a
Saturday, Sunday, or holiday in the state in which the Company’s principal executive office is located, the time period shall be automatically extended to the business day immediately following such Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. 

(k)    Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a
basis for interpretation or construction, and shall not constitute a part, of this Agreement. 

(l)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

(m)    Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that the Options granted pursuant to this
Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner
consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

 Exhibit 10.13 

STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT 

THIS STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [●], 2021, by and among PowerSchool
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Onex Partners Manager LP (together with its affiliated investment entities, “Onex”) and VEP Group, LLC (together with its affiliated investment entities,
“Vista” and together with Onex, the “Lead Sponsors”). This Agreement shall be effective from the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Lead Sponsors collectively own a majority of the outstanding equity interests in the Company; 

WHEREAS, the Lead Sponsors are contemplating causing the Company to effect the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of shares
of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”); 
 WHEREAS,
the Lead Sponsors currently have the authority to appoint all directors of the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, in consideration of the Lead
Sponsors agreeing to undertake the IPO, the Company has agreed to permit the Lead Sponsors to designate persons for nomination for election to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) following the Effective Date on the
terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees as follows: 

1. Board Nomination Rights. 

(a) From the Effective Date, (A) each Lead Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate to the Board a number of
designees equal to at least: (i) three (3) Directors (as defined below), so long as such Lead Sponsor Beneficially Owns shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
“Class B common stock” and together with the Class A common stock, the “Common Stock”) representing at least 25% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock, (ii) two
(2) Directors, in the event that such Lead Sponsor Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 15% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock, and (iii) one (1) Director, in the event that such Lead
Sponsor Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock (such persons, the “Nominees”). The Directors shall be divided into three classes of directors,
each of whose members shall serve for staggered three-year terms in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation. One Vista nominee and one Onex nominee will be allocated to each of the three classes. 

 (b) In the event that any Lead Sponsor has nominated less than the total number of designees
that such Lead Sponsor shall be entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 1(a), such Lead Sponsor shall have the right, at any time, to nominate such additional designees to which it is entitled, in which case, the Company
and the Directors shall take all necessary corporation action, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law), to (x) enable such Lead Sponsor to nominate and effect the
election or appointment of such additional individuals, whether by increasing the size of the Board or otherwise, and (y) designate such additional individuals nominated by such Lead Sponsor to fill such newly created vacancies or to fill any
other existing vacancies. 
 (c) The Company shall pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Nominee in connection with the performance of his or her duties as a director and in connection with his or her attendance at any
meeting of the Board. 
 (d) “Affiliate” of any person shall mean any other person controlled by, controlling or under
common control with such person; where “control” (including, with its correlative meanings, “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means possession,
directly or indirectly, of power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies (whether through ownership of securities, by contract or otherwise); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of either Lead Investor. 
 (e) “Beneficially Own” shall mean that a
specified person has or shares the right, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, to vote and/or dispose of (or to direct the voting and/or disposition of) any shares of capital stock of
the Company. 
 (f) “Director” means any member of the Board. 

(g) “Original Amount” means, with respect to either Lead Sponsor, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held,
directly or indirectly, by such Lead Sponsor immediately following the closing of the IPO, as such number may be adjusted from time to time for any reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar
changes in the Company’s capitalization. As of the Effective Date, the Original Amount of Vista is equal to [____] and the Original Amount of Onex is equal to [____]. 

(h) “Public Sale” means any sale of Common Stock to the public pursuant to an offering registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to the public through a broker, dealer or market maker on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter
market pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act. 
 (i) “Transfer” means, when used as a
verb, to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of, whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law (or, if used as a noun, any such sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge or other disposition); provided, that with respect to each of Vista and Onex, a bona fide direct or indirect transfer of limited partnership or other passive equity interests in a limited partnership private equity fund or other
investment vehicle affiliated with or managed by Onex Partners Manager LP or Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, or of any person that holds a direct or indirect passive equity interest in such
private equity fund or other investment vehicle, to another partner or to a third party shall not be deemed a Transfer. 

  
 2 

 (j) No reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock that each Lead Sponsor Beneficially
Owns shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. At the Effective Date, the Board shall be comprised of [●] members, the initial Nominees of Onex shall be [●] and the initial Nominees of Vista shall be [●]. 

(k) In the event that any Nominee shall cease to serve for any reason, the Lead Sponsor that nominated such Nominee shall be entitled to
designate such person’s successor in accordance with this Agreement (regardless of each Lead Sponsor’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock at the time of such vacancy) and the Board shall promptly fill the vacancy with such successor
nominee; it being understood that any such designee shall serve the remainder of the term of the director whom such designee replaces. 
 (l)
If a Nominee is not appointed or elected to the Board because of such person’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or for any other reason is unavailable or unable to serve on the Board, the applicable Lead Sponsor
shall be entitled to designate promptly another nominee and the director position for which the original Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending such designation. 

(m) So long as a Lead Sponsor has the right to nominate at least one Nominee under Section 1(a) or any such Nominee
is serving on the Board, the Company shall maintain in effect at all times directors and officers indemnity insurance coverage reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Sponsors, and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws (each as may be further amended, supplemented or waived in accordance with its terms) shall at all times provide for indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. 

(n) At any time that a Lead Sponsor shall have any nomination rights under Section 1(a), the Company shall not
increase or decrease the number of Directors serving on the Board without the prior written consent of the Lead Sponsors having such rights. 

(o) At such time as the Company ceases to be a “controlled company” and is required by applicable law or the New York Stock Exchange
(the “Exchange”) listing standards to have a majority of the Board comprised of “independent directors” (subject in each case to any applicable phase-in periods), the Nominees shall
include a number of persons that qualify as “independent directors” under applicable law and the Exchange listing standards such that, together with any other “independent directors” then serving on the Board that are not
Nominees, the Board is comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”; provided that at any time that a Lead Sponsor shall have any nomination rights under Section 1(a), (i) each such Lead Sponsor shall
be entitled to nominate at least one (1) Nominee who does not qualify as an “independent director” and (ii) the number of “independent directors” required to be nominated by any Lead Sponsor pursuant to this provision
shall not be greater than the number of Nominees required to be “independent directors” pursuant to this provision to be nominated by any other Lead Sponsor with the right to nominate the same number of, or more, Nominees as such Lead
Sponsor. 

  
 3 

 (p) At any time that a Lead Sponsor shall have any nomination rights under
Section 1(a), the Company shall not take any action, including making or recommending any amendment to Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (each as may be further amended, supplemented
or waived in accordance with its terms) that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect a Lead Sponsor’s rights under this Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of the adversely affected Lead Sponsor. 

(q) The Company recognizes that each Nominee (i) will from time to time
receive non-public information concerning the Company, and (ii) may share such information with other individuals associated with the Lead Sponsor that designated such Nominee. The Company
hereby irrevocably consents to such sharing. Each Lead Sponsor agrees that it will keep confidential and not disclose or divulge to any third party any confidential information regarding the Company it receives from the Company or a Nominee, unless
such information (x) is available or becomes available to the public in general, (y) is or has been independently developed or conceived by such Lead Sponsor without use of the Company’s confidential information or (z) is or has
been made known or disclosed to such Lead Sponsor by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that a Lead Sponsor may disclose confidential information
(I) to its Affiliates (other than portfolio companies), (II) to each of its and its Affiliate’s (other than portfolio companies) attorneys, accountants, consultants, advisors and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their
services in connection with evaluating the information, or (III) as may be required by law or legal, judicial or regulatory process or requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority or examiner, provided that such Lead Sponsor takes
reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any required disclosure described in this clause (III). 
 2. Company Obligations. The
Company agrees that prior to the date that each Lead Sponsor ceases to Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock, (i) each Nominee is included in the
Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders (the “Board’s Slate”) for each election of members of the Board; and (ii) each Nominee is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in
connection with soliciting proxies for every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board (each, a “Director Election Proxy Statement”), and at every adjournment or
postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of members of the Board. Each Lead Sponsor will promptly report to the Company after such Lead
Sponsor ceases to Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock, such that the Company is informed of when this obligation terminates. The calculation of the number of
Nominees that each Lead Sponsor is entitled to nominate to the Board’s Slate for any election of directors shall be based on the percentage of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock then Beneficially Owned by such Lead
Sponsor (“Lead Sponsor Voting Control”) immediately prior to the mailing to shareholders of the Director Election Proxy Statement relating to such election (or, if earlier, the filing of the definitive Director Election Proxy
Statement with the U.S. Securities 

  
 4 

 
and Exchange Commission). Unless a Lead Sponsor notifies the Company otherwise prior to the mailing to shareholders of the Director Election Proxy Statement relating to an election of directors
(or, if earlier, the filing of the definitive Director Election Proxy Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), the Nominees for such election shall be presumed to be the same Nominees currently serving on the Board, and no
further action shall be required of any Lead Sponsor for the Board to include such Nominees on the Board’s Slate; provided, that, in the event a Lead Sponsor is no longer entitled to nominate the full number of Nominees then serving on the
Board, such Lead Sponsor shall provide advance written notice to the Company of which currently servicing Nominee(s) shall be excluded from the Board Slate, and of any other changes to the list of Nominees. If a Lead Sponsor fails to provide such
notice prior to the mailing to shareholders of the Director Election Proxy Statement relating to such election (or, if earlier, the filing of the definitive Director Election Proxy Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), a
majority of the “independent directors” then serving on the Board shall determine which of the Nominees of such Lead Sponsor then serving on the Board will be included in the Board’s Slate. Furthermore, the Company agrees for so long
as the Company qualifies as a “controlled company” under the rules of the Exchange the Company will elect to be a “controlled company” for purposes of the Exchange and will disclose in its annual meeting proxy statement that it
is a “controlled company” and the basis for that determination. The Company and the Lead Sponsors acknowledge and agree that, as of the Effective Date, the Company is a “controlled company.” The Company agrees to provide written
notice of the preparation of a Director Election Proxy Statement to the Lead Sponsors at least 20 business days, but no more than 40 business days, prior to the earlier of the mailing and the filing date of any Director Election Proxy Statement.

 3. Committees. From and after the Effective Date hereof until such time as a Lead Sponsor ceases to Beneficially Own Common Stock
representing at least 5% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock, such Lead Sponsor shall have the right to designate one member of each committee of the Board, provided that any such designee shall be a Director and shall be
eligible to serve on the applicable committee under applicable law or listing standards of the Exchange, including any applicable independence requirements (subject in each case to any applicable exceptions, including those for newly public
companies and for “controlled companies,” and any applicable phase-in periods). Any additional members of such committee shall be determined by the Board. Nominees designated to serve on a Board
committee shall have the right to remain on such committee until the next election of directors, regardless of the level of Lead Sponsor Voting Control following such designation. Unless a Lead Sponsor notifies the Company otherwise prior to the
time the Board takes action to change the composition of a Board committee, and to the extent the applicable Lead Sponsor has the requisite Lead Sponsor Voting Control for such Lead Sponsor to nominate a Board committee member at the time the Board
takes action to change the composition of such Board committee, any Nominee currently designated by the applicable Lead Sponsor to serve on such committee shall be presumed to be re-designated for such
committee. 
 4. Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or
waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and each Lead Sponsor having Beneficially Ownership of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock, or in the
case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or 

  
 5 

 
delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No Lead Sponsor shall be obligated to nominate all (or any) of
the Nominees it is entitled to nominate pursuant to this Agreement for any election of directors but the failure to do so shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder with respect to future elections; provided, however, that
in the event a Lead Sponsor fails to nominate all (or any) of the Nominees it is entitled to nominate pursuant to this Agreement prior to the mailing to shareholders of the Director Election Proxy Statement relating to such election (or, if earlier,
the filing of the definitive Director Election Proxy Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), the Nominating and Corporate Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board shall be entitled to nominate individuals in lieu of
such Nominees for inclusion in the Board’s Slate and the applicable Director Election Proxy Statement with respect to the election for which such failure occurred and such Lead Sponsor shall be deemed to have waived its rights under
Section 1 and Section 2 with respect to such election (but solely with respect to such election and not any subsequent election); provided, further, however, that any such waiver shall only be
effective if the Company has provided written notice to such Lead Sponsor of such Director Election Proxy Statement no less than 20 business days, and no more than 40 business days, prior to the earlier of the mailing or filing date of such Director
Election Proxy Statement. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

5. Benefit of Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lead Sponsor that Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing
at least 5% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 7 and the last sentence of Section 8(b), nothing herein contained shall
confer or is intended to confer on any third party or entity that is not a party to this Agreement any rights under this Agreement. 
 6.
Transfers; Tag-along Rights. 
 (a) Prior to the 1st anniversary of the Effective Date, no
Lead Sponsor shall Transfer any Beneficially Ownership of shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of the other Lead Sponsor, except for (i) any Transfer pursuant to a Public Sale, (ii) any Transfer for no consideration and
(iii) any Transfer to an Affiliate (other than a portfolio company) of such Lead Sponsor. 
 (b) Following the 1st anniversary of the
Effective Date, until such time as either Lead Sponsor Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing less than 10% of the total voting power of the then-outstanding Common Stock, no Lead Sponsor shall Transfer Beneficial Ownership of any
shares of Common Stock representing 5% or more of the total number of shares of Common Stock then Beneficially Owned by such Lead Sponsor in a single transaction, a series of related transactions or to parties that are Affiliates of each other, in
each case, without the prior written consent of the other Lead Sponsor, except for (i) any Transfer pursuant to a Public Sale, 

  
 6 

 
(ii) any Transfer for no consideration, (iii) any Transfer to an Affiliate (other than a portfolio company) of such Lead Sponsor and (iv) any Transfer so long as the Transferring Lead
Sponsor gives reasonable prior written notice of such Transfer (but in no event less than three (3) business days) to the other Lead Sponsor and the right to participate in such Transfer at the same price and on the same other terms and
conditions as the Transferring Lead Sponsor up to its pro rata amount based on each Lead Sponsor’s Original Amount. 
 7.
Assignment. Upon written notice to the Company, each Lead Sponsor may assign to any of its Affiliates (other than a portfolio company) all of its rights hereunder and, following such assignment, such assignee shall be deemed to be a
“Lead Sponsor” for all purposes hereunder but no such assignment shall relieve the assignor of any of its obligations hereunder. 

8. Indemnification. 
 (a)
The Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Lead Sponsor, their respective Affiliates, partners, employees, agents, directors, managers, officers and controlling persons (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from
and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, or other obligations of any kind or nature (whether accrued or fixed, absolute or contingent) in connection therewith (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnified Parties before or after the date of this Agreement (each, an “Action”) arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way relating to, (i) a Lead
Sponsor or its Affiliates’ Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company or control or ability to influence the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than, in the case of any Indemnified Party, any such
Actions (x) to the extent such Actions arise out of any breach of this Agreement by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or the breach of any fiduciary or other duty or obligation of such Indemnified Party to its direct or indirect equity
holders, creditors or Affiliates or (y) to the extent such Actions are directly caused by such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct), (ii) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights or liabilities of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or (iii) any services provided prior, on or after the date of this Agreement by a Lead Sponsor or its Affiliates to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company shall defend at its own cost and expense in respect of
any Action which may be brought against the Company and/or its Affiliates and the Indemnified Parties. The Company shall defend at its own cost and expense any and all Actions which may be brought in which the Indemnified Parties may be impleaded
with others upon any Action by the Indemnified Parties, except that if such Actions shall be proven to be the direct result of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by any of the Indemnified Parties, then such Indemnified Party shall
reimburse the Company for the costs of defense and other costs incurred by the Company in proportion to such Indemnified Party’s culpability as proven. In the event of the assertion against any Indemnified Party of any Action or the
commencement of any Action, the Company shall be entitled to participate in such Action and in the investigation of such Action and, after written notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party, to assume the investigation or defense of such
Action with counsel of the Company’s choice at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company
may retain one firm of counsel to represent all Indemnified Parties in such Action; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ a single firm of separate counsel (and any

  
 7 

 
necessary local counsel) and to participate in the defense or investigation of such Action and the Company shall bear the expense of such separate counsel (and local counsel, if applicable), if
(x) in the opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party use of counsel of the Company’s choice could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, (y) the Company shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the assertion of any such Action or (z) the Company shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Company’s expense.
The Company further agrees that with respect to any Indemnified Party who is employed, retained or otherwise associated with, or appointed or nominated by, a Lead Sponsor or any of its Affiliates and who acts or serves as a director, officer,
manager, fiduciary, employee, consultant, advisor or agent of, for or to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, that the Company or such subsidiaries, as applicable, shall be primarily liable for all indemnification, reimbursements, advancements or
similar payments (the “Indemnity Obligations”) afforded to such Indemnified Party acting in such capacity or capacities on behalf or at the request of the Company, whether the Indemnity Obligations are created by law, organizational
or constituent documents, contract (including this Agreement) or otherwise. The Company hereby agrees that in no event shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries have any right or claim against a Lead Sponsor or any of its Affiliates for
contribution or have rights of subrogation against a Lead Sponsor or any of its Affiliates through an Indemnified Party for any payment made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any Indemnity Obligation. In addition, the Company
hereby agrees that in the event that a Lead Sponsor or any of its Affiliates pays or advances an Indemnified Party any expenses with respect to an Indemnity Obligation, the Company will, or will cause its subsidiaries to, as applicable, promptly
reimburse such Lead Sponsor or its Affiliate, for such payment or advance upon request; subject to the receipt by the Company of a written undertaking executed by the Indemnified Party and such Lead Sponsor or Affiliate to repay any such amounts if
it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The foregoing right to indemnity shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may
have at common law or otherwise and shall remain in full force and effect following the termination of this Agreement and the completion or any termination of the engagement or other service relationship of such Indemnified Party acting in such
capacity or capacities on behalf or at the request of the Company. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless as and to the extent contemplated by this
Section 8, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company,
on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. This Section 8(a) shall not apply with respect to any taxes, other than taxes that represent causes of
action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, or obligations arising from a non-tax claim. 

(b) The Company hereby acknowledges that certain of the Indemnified Parties have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses
and/or insurance provided by investment funds managed by a Lead Sponsor and certain of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees with respect to any indemnification, hold harmless
obligation, expense advancement or reimbursement provision or any other similar obligation whether pursuant to or with respect to this Agreement, the 

  
 8 

 
organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other agreement, as applicable, (i) that the Company and its subsidiaries are the indemnitor of first resort (i.e.,
their obligations to the Indemnified Parties are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for claims, expenses or obligations arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances
suffered by any Indemnified Party are secondary), (ii) that the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, liabilities, obligations,
judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement, the organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other agreement, as applicable,
without regard to any rights any Indemnified Party may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that the Company, on behalf of itself and each of its subsidiaries, irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any
and all Actions against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any Indemnified Party
with respect to any Action for which any Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or
payment to all of the rights of recovery of any Indemnified Party against the Company. The Company agrees that the Fund Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(b).
