 INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of July 23, 2012 (this
“Agreement”), between Genesee & Wyoming Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Carlyle Partners V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Initial Purchaser Representative”).

 RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS, the Company may enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and RailAmerica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Target”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, Merger Sub will merge with and into
Target, with Target surviving (the “Merger”), and each outstanding share of Target (other than shares held by any of Target’s subsidiaries or by the Company or Merger Sub or by Appraisal Shareholders (as defined in the Merger
Agreement)) automatically shall be canceled in exchange for, and converted into the right to receive, the cash price per share set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”). 

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue and sell to the Purchaser (including its assignees pursuant to Section 5.9) shares of its
preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, designated as “Mandatorily Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A-1” (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), having the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designations
(the “Series A-1 Certificate”) in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In addition, if required, the Company may issue and sell to the Purchaser
shares of its preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, designated as “Mandatorily Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A-2” (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock; and, together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the
“Convertible Preferred Stock”), having the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designations (the “Series A-2 Certificate”) in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (subject to adjustments noted
therein, including in the footnotes, to modify such form to apply to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 WHEREAS, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”) and the Series
A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock will be automatically convertible into shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock upon receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval, if applicable. 
 WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Initial Purchaser Representative have entered into the Voting and Support Agreement (the “Voting and Support
Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit C. 
 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the
meanings set forth in Section 5.10 or such other Section indicated in the preceding Index of Defined Terms. 

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

PURCHASE; CLOSING 
 1.1 Purchase. On the terms and subject to the conditions herein, on the Closing Date, the Company agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company no more
than 800,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in the aggregate (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) and no less than 350,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in the aggregate (the “Minimum Commitment
Amount”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Purchase Price”). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Company shall not be permitted or obligated to sell, and the Purchaser shall not be permitted or obligated to purchase any shares of
Series A-2 Preferred Stock unless, and then only to the extent, (A) the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Company Stockholder Meeting (at which a quorum is present) would otherwise be required under Section 312.03 of
the NYSE Listed Company Manual prior to the issuance of the Purchased Series A-1 Preferred Stock at Closing assuming additional shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were issued instead of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, and (B) the Requisite
Stockholder Approval has not been obtained prior to the Closing, and (ii) no later than fifteen (15) business days prior to Closing Date, the Company shall deliver written notice (the “Additional Call Notice”) to the
Purchaser specifying (subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.1) the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and, if applicable, Series A-2 Preferred Stock (such specified number of shares, the
“Purchased Series A-1 Preferred Stock” and “Purchased Series A-2 Preferred Stock,” respectively, and collectively, the “Purchased Stock”) to be purchased and sold at the Closing. Upon delivery of
the Additional Call Notice specifying a number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and/or Series A-2 Preferred Stock, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall be required to sell at least such number and type of shares
of Purchased Stock to the Purchaser at the Closing, subject to the applicable conditions to Closing. 
 For the purposes of this
Agreement and the Series A-1 Certificate: 
 (a) the “Applicable Premium” shall mean: (i) with respect to
the Series A-1 Preferred Stock purchased with the Minimum Commitment Amount, 10%; and (ii) with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock purchased in excess of the Minimum Commitment Amount, (A) 10% if either (1) the Additional Call
Notice is delivered to the Purchaser prior to the Call Deadline in accordance with this Agreement or (2) at the time the Additional Call Notice is delivered to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, the Call Date VWAP is greater than
85% of the 30 Day VWAP, and (B) 10%, if the Additional Call Notice is delivered to the Purchaser after the Call Deadline in accordance with this Agreement and at the time the Additional Call Notice is delivered to the Purchaser in accordance
with this Agreement, the Call Date VWAP is no greater than 85% of the 30 Day VWAP; provided, however, that if the definition of Mandatory Conversion Date in the Series A-1 Certificate (or any alternative certificate contemplated by the
last paragraph of this Section 1.1) (excluding the proviso in such definition) with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (or any alternative series of preferred 

  
 2 

 
stock contemplated by the last paragraph of this Section 1.1) references a Business Day on or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, the “Applicable Premium” with
respect to any such Convertible Preferred Stock (or such other preferred stock) with such Mandatory Conversion period (or longer) shall be 15%; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for a
Mandatory Conversion Date in the Series A-1 Certificate (or any alternative certificate contemplated by the last paragraph of this Section 1.1) beyond the second anniversary of the Closing Date (excluding the proviso in such definition) with
respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (or any alternative series of preferred stock contemplated by the last paragraph of this Section 1.1) and is under no obligation to do so; 

(b) the “Call Deadline” shall mean the date that is the earlier of (i) 10 days following the approval or
authorization by the Surface Transportation Board (the “STB”) of a voting trust transaction pursuant to which shares of the Target shall be placed into an irrevocable voting trust as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) pending receipt of final STB approval or exemption, as the case may be, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (ii) 67 days following the date on which the applicable parties to the Merger
Agreement submit the initial filing with the STB with respect to the approval of the voting trust agreement described in clause (i); and 
 (c) the “Call Date VWAP” shall mean, as of the date on which the Additional Call Notice is delivered to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, with respect to the Class A
Common Stock, the average of the daily VWAPs for such Class A Common Stock for each of the thirty (30) (“Determination Period”) trading days ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior to the date of such
delivery. 
 In the event that the Conversion Price and Conversion Rate for shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be issued in
excess of the Minimum Commitment Amount would be different than the Conversion Price and Conversion Rate for shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock with respect to the Minimum Commitment Amount, the Company and the Purchaser shall make appropriate
changes to the Series A-1 Certificate and other Transaction Documents (or create a series that is the same as Series A-1 Preferred Stock except for such different Conversion Price and Conversion Rate) to provide for the issuance of such preferred
stock on such terms. 
 1.2 Closing. 
 (a) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Stock (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York,
New York 10017, at 10:00 a.m. New York time on the date the Merger becomes effective, or, if earlier, the date the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement occurs, or at such other time and place as the Company and the
Purchaser Representative agree (the “Closing Date”). 
 (b) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the
Closing Date of the conditions to the Closing in Section 1.3, at the Closing: 
 (1) the Company will
deliver to the Purchaser (i) certificates representing (A) the Purchased Series A-1 Preferred Stock and (B) if applicable, the Purchased Series A-2 Preferred Stock and (ii) the executed Registration Rights Agreement, in the form
of Exhibit B hereto and all other documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise required in connection herewith; and 

  
 3 

 (2) the Purchaser will deliver or cause to be delivered (i) to a bank
account designated by the Company in writing at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Aggregate Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds and (ii) the executed Registration Rights Agreement and all
other documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by the Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise required in connection herewith. 
 1.3 Closing Conditions.

one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, to effect the Closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Purchaser and the Company at or prior to the Closing of the following conditions: 

(1) no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment or order issued by any
Governmental Entity and no Law shall be in effect restraining, enjoining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the party claiming such failure of
condition shall have used its reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of any such injunction or order and to appeal as promptly as possible any injunction or other order that may be entered; 

(2) the Merger shall have been consummated or shall be consummated substantially simultaneously with the Closing on the
terms and conditions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (subject to any amendments, supplements, waivers or other modifications permitted by Section 3.10 or otherwise consented to by the Purchaser); and

warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2.1 hereof (other than Sections 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c)(1) and 2.1(e)) shall be true and correct (disregarding all qualifications or limitations as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect)
as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representation or warranty speaks to an earlier date, in which case each of such earlier date), except where

  
 4

warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2.1(b) shall be true in all but de minimis respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of such date and (iii) the representations and

(2) the Company shall have performed in all material respects its obligations required to be performed by it pursuant to
this Agreement at or prior to the Closing; 
 (3) the Purchaser shall have received a certificate signed on

 (c) The obligation of the Company to effect the Closing is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Company at or prior to the Closing of the following conditions: 

(1) (i) the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in Section 2.2 hereof (other than Sections
2.2(a) and 2.2 (b)(1)) shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representation or warranty speaks of an earlier date, in which case
such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material 

  
 5 

 
respects as of such date), except where the failure of such representation and warranties to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of the Purchaser to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement and (ii) the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Sections
2.2(a) and (b)(1) shall be true in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of such date;

 (a) Organization and Authority. 
 (1) The Company is a
corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted, is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and where failure to be so qualified would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
Company Material Adverse Effect. True and accurate copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have been made available to the Purchaser prior to the date hereof. 

(2) Each material Company Subsidiary is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or
the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and where failure to be so qualified would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, “Subsidiary”

 6 

 
any person, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity (x) of which such person or a subsidiary of such person is a general partner or (y) of

(b) Capitalization. 
 (1) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 180,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the
“Class B Common Stock”) and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of the close of business on June 30, 2012 (the “Capitalization Date”),
there were 40,599,128 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 2,112,048 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and zero shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. As of the close of business on the Capitalization Date, (i) 1,241,015
shares of Class A Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise or payment of stock options outstanding on such date (“Company Stock Options”), and 266,638 shares of Class A Common Stock were reserved for issuance
upon the exercise or payment of stock units (including deferred stock units, restricted stock and restricted stock units) or other equity-based incentive awards granted pursuant to any plans, agreements or arrangements of the Company and outstanding

shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with applicable securities laws and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability
attaching to the ownership thereof. From the Capitalization Date through and as of the date of this Agreement, no other shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock have been issued other than shares of Class A Common Stock issued in respect of
the exercise of Company Stock Options or Company Stock Awards in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not have outstanding shareholder purchase rights or “poison pill” or any similar arrangement in effect. 

(2) No bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness having the right to vote on any matters on which the stockholders of
the Company may vote (“Voting Debt”) are issued and outstanding. As of the date of this Agreement, except (i) pursuant to any cashless exercise provisions of any Company Stock Options or pursuant to the surrender of shares to
the Company or the withholding of shares by the Company to cover tax withholding obligations under Company Stock Options or Company Stock Awards, and (ii) as set forth in Section 2.1(b)(1), the Company does not have and is not bound by any
outstanding options, preemptive rights, rights of first offer, warrants, calls, commitments 

  
 7 

 
or other rights or agreements calling for the purchase or issuance of, or securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable for, any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock or any other equity securities of the Company or Voting Debt or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of capital stock of the Company (including any rights plan or agreement). 

(c) Authorization. 
 (1) The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of
Directors”). This Agreement has been, and (as of the Closing) the other Transaction Documents will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, is, and
(as of the Closing) each of the other Transaction Documents will be, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles). No other corporate proceedings are necessary for the execution
and delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the performance by it of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, subject only to the
receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, if required. The Board of Directors has taken all necessary actions such that the restrictions set forth in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law will not apply to any acquisition by
the Purchaser of Preferred Stock or Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon the conversion of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement (or issued upon the conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this
Agreement). 
 (2) Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance by the Company with any of the provisions hereof or thereof (including the conversion or exercise provisions of the Convertible Preferred Stock),
will, subject only to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval if required, (A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the material properties or assets of
the Company or any Company Subsidiary under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or bylaws of the Company (the
“Bylaws”) 

  
 8 

 
or the certificate of incorporation, charter, bylaws or other governing instrument of any Company Subsidiary or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease,
agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Company
Subsidiary may be subject, or (B) violate any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, permit, franchise or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective
properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (A)(ii) and (B) for such violations, conflicts and breaches as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 

(3) Other than the securities or blue sky laws of the various states and approval or expiration of applicable waiting
periods under the HSR Act, no notice to, registration, declaration or filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, order, consent or approval of, any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or arbitral body or
authority or instrumentality, whether federal, state, local or foreign, and any applicable industry self-regulatory organization (each, a “Governmental Entity”), nor expiration or termination of any statutory waiting period, is
necessary for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, subject only to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval if required. 

(d) Sale of Securities. Based in part on the Purchaser’s representations in Section 2.2, the offer and sale of the
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor to the
Knowledge of the Company any other Person authorized by the Company to act on its behalf, has engaged in a general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) of investors with respect to offer or
sales of the Purchased Stock and neither the Company nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any person acting on its behalf has made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause
the offering or issuance of Purchased Stock under this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act that would result in none of Regulation D or any other applicable exemption from registration
under the Securities Act to be available, nor will the Company take any action or steps that would cause the offering or issuance of the Purchased Stock under this Agreement to be integrated with other offerings. 

(e) Status of Securities. The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, and the shares of
Class A Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. When issued and sold against receipt of the consideration therefor as provided in this Agreement
or the Series A-1 Certificate or Series A-2 Certificate, as applicable, such 

  
 9 

 
securities will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability, will not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of
the Company, and will effectively vest in the Purchaser good and marketable title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, Section 4.2 and any applicable state or foreign securities
laws. Upon any conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Series A-1 Certificate, or the conversion of any shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to
the Series A-2 Certificate, the shares of Class A Common Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued upon such conversion will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not subject the holder thereof to personal liability and will
not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and will effectively vest in the Purchaser good and marketable title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act,
Section 4.2 and any applicable state or foreign securities laws. The respective rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the Common Stock are as stated in the
Certificate of Incorporation (including the Series A -1 Certificate and the Series A-2 Certificate). The shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued upon any conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock
have been duly reserved for such issuance. The shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be issued upon any conversion of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into Series A-1 Preferred Stock have been duly reserved for such issuance. 

(f) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. 
 (1) The Company has filed all required reports, proxy statements, forms, and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since January 1, 2010
(collectively, the “SEC Documents”). Each of the SEC Documents, as of its respective date complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Documents, and, except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed SEC Document filed and publicly available prior
to the date of this Agreement, none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (2) The Company (i) has implemented and
maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to
the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and the Board of
Director’s audit committee (A) any significant deficiencies and 

  
 10 

 
material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect
the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal
controls over financial reporting. As of the date of this Agreement, to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no reason that its outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the
certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, without qualification, when next due. 

(3) There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and an
unconsolidated or other off-balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its SEC Documents and is not so disclosed. 
 (4) The financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries included in the SEC Documents (a) complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements
and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, in each case as of the date such SEC Document was filed, and (b) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
recurring audit adjustments). 
 (g) Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for (i) those liabilities that are reflected or
reserved for in the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, (ii) liabilities incurred since March 31, 2012 in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practice, (iii) liabilities that would not, individually and in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect and (iv) liabilities incurred pursuant to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any liabilities or obligations of any nature whatsoever (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) that are required to be reflected in
the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. 
 (h) Brokers and Finders. Except for Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Company, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents has employed any broker or finder
or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or finder has acted directly or indirectly for the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby. 

  
 11 

 (i) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to
the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against, nor any outstanding judgment, order or decree against, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before or by any Governmental Entity which in the aggregate have, or if adversely determined, would
reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect. 
 (j) Taxes. Except as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed all tax returns required to have been filed, such returns were accurate in all material respects, and all taxes shown
thereon to be due have been timely paid, except those for which extensions have been obtained and except for those which are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and in respect of which adequate reserves with respect thereto
are maintained in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not paid any dividend or other distribution on its capital stock during the past three years. 
 (k) Permits and Licenses. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by each Governmental Entity necessary to conduct their respective businesses,
except where the failure to possess such permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect. 
 (l) Compliance with Laws. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of any applicable Law, except where such violation would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is being investigated with respect to any applicable Law, except for
such of the foregoing as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(m) Absence of Changes. Since December 31, 2011, there has not been any action or omission of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that, if such action or omission occurred between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, would violate Section 3.9. 
 (n) Illegal Payments. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has,
nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, has any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, paid, caused to be paid, or agreed to pay, directly or (to the Knowledge of the Company) indirectly, in connection with the
business of the Company: (i) to any government or agency thereof, any agent or any supplier or customer, any bribe, kickback or other similar illegal payment; (ii) any illegal contribution to any political party or candidate (other than
from personal funds of directors, officers or employees not reimbursed by their respective employers or as otherwise permitted by applicable Law); or (iii) intentionally established or maintained any unrecorded fund or asset or made any false
entries on any books or records for any purpose. 

  
 12 

 (o) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to the Knowledge of the Company is reasonably likely to, have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the
Exchange Act nor has the Company received as of the date of this Agreement any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. 
 (p) No Additional Representations. Except for the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Section 2.1, neither the Company nor any other Person makes any express or implied
representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, operations, assets liabilities, condition or prospects, and the Company hereby disclaims any such other representations or warranties. In
particular, without limiting the foregoing disclaimer, neither the Company nor any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty to the Purchaser, or any of its Affiliates or representatives with respect to (i) any financial
projection, forecast, estimate, budget or prospect information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective business, or (ii) except for the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Section 2.1,
any oral or written information presented to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or representatives in the course of their due diligence investigation of the Company, the negotiation of this Agreement or in the course of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Purchaser and its Affiliates to rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements expressly set forth in
this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder, nor will anything in this Agreement operate to limit any claim by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for fraud. 
 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, that: 

(a) Organization and Authority. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and where failure to be so
qualified would be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis, and the Purchaser has the
corporate or other power and authority and governmental authorizations to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. 
 (b) Authorization. 
 (1) The Purchaser has the corporate or
other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and 

  
 13 

 
performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Purchaser, and no
further approval or authorization by any of its stockholders, partners, members or other equity owners, as the case may be, is required. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery by the Company, is a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms (except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles). 
 (2) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by the Purchaser with any of the
provisions hereof, will (A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of,
or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Purchaser under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of
(i) its governing instruments or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which the Purchaser
or any of the properties or assets of the Purchaser may be subject, or (B) subject to compliance with the statutes and regulations referred to in the next paragraph, violate any law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation, permit, concession,
grant, franchise or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Purchaser or any of their respective properties or assets except in the case of clauses (A)(ii) and (B) for such violations, conflicts and
breaches as would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis. 

(3) Other than the securities or blue sky laws of the various states, and approval or expiration of applicable waiting
periods under the HSR Act no notice to, registration, declaration or filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, order, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity, nor expiration or termination of any statutory waiting period, is
necessary for the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject only to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval if required. 

(c) Purchase for Investment. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Convertible Preferred Stock have not been registered under the
Securities Act or under any state securities laws. The Purchaser (1) acknowledges that it is acquiring the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act solely for investment with no present
intention to distribute any of the Convertible Preferred Stock to any person in 

  
 14 

 
violation of applicable securities laws, (2) will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Convertible Preferred Stock, except in compliance with the registration requirements or
exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws, (3) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks

Company the intended business and financial affairs of the Company and to obtain information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information
furnished to it or to which it had access and (C) can bear the economic risk of (x) an investment in the Convertible Preferred Stock indefinitely and (y) a total loss in respect of such investment. The Purchaser has such knowledge and
experience in business and financial matters so as to enable it to understand and evaluate the risks of and form an investment decision with respect to its investment in the Convertible Preferred Stock and to protect its own interest in connection
with such investment. 
 (d) Financial Capability. The Purchaser currently has capital commitments sufficient to, and at
Closing will have, available funds necessary to consummate the Closing on the terms and conditions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser is not aware of any reason why the funds sufficient to fulfill its obligations under Article I will not
be available on the Closing Date upon request of its limited partners. 
 (e) Brokers and Finders. Neither the Purchaser
nor its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or
finder has acted directly or indirectly for the Purchaser, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

control over investment decisions) are the owners of record or the Beneficial Owners of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock.

 ARTICLE III 
 COVENANTS 
 3.1 Filings; Other Actions. Following the Merger
Agreement Execution Date, each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will cooperate and consult with the other and use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary
applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents, and to obtain all 

  
 15 

 
necessary permits, consents, orders, approvals and authorizations of, or any exemption by, all third parties and Governmental Entities, and the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting
period, necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to perform the covenants contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall execute and deliver both before and after the Closing such further
certificates, agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the other parties may reasonably request to consummate or implement such transactions or to evidence such events or matters. In particular, the Purchaser and the Company
shall use all reasonable best efforts to obtain or submit, as the case may be, as promptly as practicable following the Merger Agreement Execution Date, the approvals and authorizations of, filings and registrations with, and notifications to, or
expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), in each case, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including
the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock to the Purchaser (including, in each case, upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock). Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent required, the Purchaser and the Company shall
prepare and file a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Company will have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each
will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to such other party, and any of their respective Affiliates, which appears in any filing made with, or written
materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as
practicable. Each party hereto agrees to keep the other party apprised of the status of matters referred to in this Section 3.1. The Purchaser shall promptly furnish the Company, and the Company shall promptly furnish the Purchaser, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, with copies of written communications received by it or its Subsidiaries from, or delivered by any of the foregoing to, any Governmental Entity in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 3.2 Reasonable Best Efforts to Close. Following the Merger Agreement Execution Date, the Company and the
Purchaser agree to use reasonable best efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, so as to permit consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall cooperate fully with the other party hereto to that end, including in relation to the satisfaction
of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 1.3(a), (b) and (c) and cooperating in seeking to obtain any consent required from Governmental Entities. 
 3.3 Corporate Actions. 
 (a) Authorized Common Stock. At any
time that any Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall from time to time take all lawful action within its control to 

  
 16 

 
cause the authorized capital stock of the Corporation to include a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock to satisfy the
conversion requirements of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding or issuable as a dividend (on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, assuming that all dividends are paid in kind) or upon the conversion of
Series A-2 Preferred Stock then outstanding (assuming for the purposes of this calculation that the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained). All shares of Class A Common Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock delivered upon conversion
of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be newly issued shares or shares held in treasury by the Company, shall have been duly authorized and validly issued and shall be fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any Lien. 

(b) Certificate. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall file in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the
Series A-1 Certificate in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A, and, if necessary, the Series A-2 Certificate in the form contemplated by Exhibit A, with such changes thereto as the parties may reasonably agree. 

(c) Certain Adjustments. If any occurrence since the date of hereof until the Closing would have resulted in an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate (as defined in the Series A-1 Certificate) pursuant to Section 9 of the Series A-1 Certificate if the Series A-1 Preferred Stock had been issued and outstanding since the date hereof, the Company shall adjust the Conversion
Rate, effective as of the Closing, in the same manner as would have been required by Section 9 of the Series A-1 Certificate if the Series A-1 Preferred Stock had been issued and outstanding since the date hereof. 

3.4 Company Stockholder Meeting. 
 (a) The Company shall notify the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date if the Company intends to issue A-2 Preferred Stock or if the issuance of Series A-1 Preferred Stock hereunder requires approval in
accordance with Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, in which case the Company shall hold a meeting of the Company Stockholders for the purpose of voting upon such approval and approval of the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred
Stock, if applicable. 
 (b) If the Company is required to deliver a notice pursuant to Section 3.4(a), then as promptly as
practicable following the Closing, the Company shall establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company Stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose, in
accordance with Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, of obtaining the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Company Stockholder Meeting (at which a quorum is present) for the approval of (x) the conversion of
any Purchased Series A-2 Preferred Stock and (y) if required, the issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”); provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent the Company from postponing or
adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting if (i) there are insufficient shares of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock present or represented by a proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to conduct business at the Company
Stockholder Meeting, (ii) the Company is required to postpone or 

  
 17 

 
adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or its staff, or (iii) the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel
and approval of the Purchaser, where such approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting in order to give Company Stockholders sufficient
time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to Company Stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise; provided, further, that at
the Company’s option, the Company Stockholders Meeting shall be the first annual meeting following the Closing Date. The Board of Directors shall, in connection with such a Company Stockholder Meeting, recommend to the Company Stockholders that
such stockholders vote in favor of the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. In connection with the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall promptly prepare (and the Purchaser will reasonably cooperate with the Company to prepare) and
file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to cause a definitive proxy statement related to such stockholders’ meeting to be mailed to the
Company Stockholders as promptly as practicable after clearance thereof by the SEC, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies for the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the receipt
of any comments from the SEC or its staff with respect to the proxy statement and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to such proxy statement or for additional information and will supply the Purchaser with copies of
all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to such proxy statement. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting there shall occur any
event that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the proxy statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to the Company Stockholders such an amendment or supplement. Each of the Purchaser and the
Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it or on its behalf for use in the proxy statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall as
promptly as practicable prepare and furnish to the Company Stockholders an amendment or supplement to correct such information to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations. The Company shall consult with the Purchaser prior to filing
any proxy statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or responding to any comments from the SEC or its staff with respect thereto, and provide the Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon, and consider in good faith any
comments proposed by the Purchaser. If the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the Company Stockholder Meeting, then the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval at each following
meeting of the Company Stockholders until obtained. At the Company Stockholder Meeting and each subsequent annual meeting of the Company Stockholders, if applicable, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from the Company
Stockholders proxies in favor of the Requisite Stockholder Approval and to obtain such approvals, and the obligations of the Company in this Section 3.4 with respect to the proxy statement (and related SEC comments) for the Company Stockholder
Meeting shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to each proxy statement of the Company for any such subsequent meeting. 

  
 18 

 (c) The Purchaser, on the one hand, agrees to furnish the Company, and the Company, on the
other hand, agrees, upon request, to furnish to the Purchaser, all information concerning itself, its Affiliates, directors, officers, partners and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with
the proxy statement in connection with the Company Stockholder Meeting and any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the
Closing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 3.5 Information Rights. Following the Closing
and for as long as the Carlyle Parties, in the aggregate, Beneficially Own (on an “as converted basis”) at least a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (i) $150 million, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as
defined in the Series A-1 Certificate) (as adjusted to reflect any stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction), the Company shall provide the Purchaser Representative with unaudited monthly (as soon as
available) manager financial statements, quarterly (as soon as available) financial statements and audited (by a nationally recognized accounting firm) annual (as soon as available) financial statements, in each case, prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as in effect from time to time, which statements shall include: 

(a) the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders’ equity and cash flows; and 
 (b) a comparison by region of the consolidated statement of income to
(i) the corresponding data for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year and (ii) the Company’s financial plan for the corresponding periods. 
 3.6 Confidentiality. Each party to this Agreement will hold, and will cause its respective Affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in
strict confidence, unless disclosure to a regulatory authority is necessary or appropriate in connection with any necessary regulatory approval or unless disclosure is required by judicial or administrative process or by other requirement of law or
the applicable requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock exchange, all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the other
party hereto furnished to it by such other party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such information was (1) previously known by such party from other sources, provided that such source was not known by
such party to be bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the other party, (2) in the public domain through no violation of this Section 3.6 by such party or (3) later lawfully acquired from other
sources by the party to which it was furnished), and neither party hereto shall release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, financing sources, other consultants and advisors.

 3.7 NYSE Listing of Shares. Following the Merger Agreement Execution Date, the Company shall promptly apply to
cause any shares of Class A Common Stock that could 

  
 19 

 
potentially be issued as a dividend on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date (assuming all dividends are paid in kind) or upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock to be
approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance; provided, however, to the extent the Requisite Stockholder Approval is required, the Company shall apply to cause the shares of Class A Common Stock
that could potentially be issued upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, following receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

 3.8 State Securities Laws. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
(a) obtain all necessary permits and qualifications, if any, or secure an exemption therefrom, required by any state or country prior to the offer and sale Common Stock and/or Convertible Preferred Stock and (b) cause such authorization,
approval, permit or qualification to be effective as of the Closing and as of any conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock. 

3.9 Negative Covenants. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not:

 (a) declare, or make payment in respect of, any dividend or other distribution upon any shares of capital stock of the
Company; 
 (b) amend the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in a manner that would affect the Purchaser in an adverse
manner as a holder of Convertible Preferred Stock; or 
 (c) authorize, issue or reclassify any capital stock, or debt
securities convertible into capital stock, of the Company other than the authorization and issuance of (i) the Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or any rights in connection with a rights plan
referenced in Section 9(h) of the Series A-1 Certificate or (iii) any PIK Preferred Stock; 
 provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing restrictions in Section 3.9(c) and (solely with respect to dividends on preferred stock issued after the date hereof) Section 3.9(a) shall terminate and cease to apply to the
Company and its Subsidiaries if the Company first delivers to the Purchaser a written notice (which shall be irrevocable) electing the Cash-Pay Option (as described in the form of Series A-1 Certificate and Series A-2 Certificate). 

3.10 Merger Agreement and Debt Financing Commitment. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Purchaser Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (i) enter into the Merger Agreement on terms that (A) include an extension of the Outside Termination Date to a date that is later than
the first anniversary of this Agreement or (B) fail to include customary so-called “Xerox” provisions providing protection with respect to exclusive jurisdiction, waiver of jury trial, liability caps (if applicable), absence of
liability and third party beneficiary status for the benefit of the Financing 

  
 20 

 
Source Parties, or (ii) make or agree to make any amendments, supplements, waivers or other modifications to any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that would be materially less
favorable to the Company; provided, however, that (x) the Purchaser Representative’s written consent shall not be required for (1) any increase in the Merger Consideration per share of Target common stock below the
Agreed Cap or (2) any extension of the Outside Termination Date to a date that is not later than the first anniversary of this Agreement, and (y) any change in the so-called “Xerox” provisions of the Merger Agreement providing
protection with respect to exclusive jurisdiction, waiver of jury trial, liability caps (if applicable), absence of liability and third party beneficiary status for the benefit of the Financing Source Parties in a manner that is less favorable to
the Purchaser in any respect shall require the prior written consent of the Purchaser Representative. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall keep the Purchaser Representative reasonably informed regarding the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement and the Debt Financing Commitment (as defined in the Merger Agreement), including the expected timing of the Closing and any developments that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially delay
the Closing or make the Closing unlikely to occur; provided, further, that in any event (and without limiting the notice requirement under Section 1.1), the Company shall provide the Purchaser Representative with no less than five
(5) business days’ written notice of the Closing Date. 
 ARTICLE IV

however, that nothing in this Section 4.1 will limit (I) any Carlyle Party’s ability to vote (subject to Section 4.5(c) and the other Transaction Documents) or Transfer (subject to Section 4.2) its Common Stock or
Preferred Stock or otherwise exercise rights under its Preferred Stock or (II) the ability of any director designated by the Purchaser Representative pursuant to Section 4.5 or elected pursuant to the Series A-1 Certificate to vote or otherwise
exercise its fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors, (III) the ability of any observer or director appointed or designated by the Purchaser Representative pursuant to Section 4.5 or pursuant to the Series A-1 Certificate to seek
(but solely in such capacity as observer or director) to participate fully as an observer to or director on the Board of Directors, or (IV) the ability of the Purchaser Representative or the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock to exercise their
rights to appoint directors and observers pursuant to Section 4.5 or the Series A-1 Certificate, as applicable. 

4.2 Transfer Restrictions. 
 (a) Except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, until the earlier of (i) the mandatory conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Series A-1
Certificate and (ii) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Carlyle Parties will not Transfer any Convertible Preferred Stock or any Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock or, if applicable,
issued pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a), the Carlyle Parties shall be permitted to
Transfer any portion or all of their Preferred Stock or Common Stock at any time under the following circumstances: 
 (1) Transfers to any Affiliate, but only if the transferee agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and with a copy thereof to be furnished to
the Company) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and if the transferee and the transferor agree for the express benefit of the 

  
 22 

 
Company that the transferee shall Transfer the Convertible Preferred Stock and/or Class A Common Stock (or any Equity Securities issued in respect thereof) so Transferred back to the
transferor at or before such time as the transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of the transferor; and 
 (2)
Transfers that have been approved in writing by the Board of Directors. 
 (c) Notwithstanding Sections 4.2(a) and (b), the
Carlyle Parties will not at any time directly or knowingly indirectly Transfer any Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock or, if applicable, issued pursuant to this
Agreement to a Company Competitor; provided, however, that this Section 4.2(c) shall not restrict any Transfer into the public market pursuant to a registered offering of Common Stock. 

4.3 Legend. 
 (a) The Purchaser agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock subject to this Agreement will bear a legend substantially to
the following effect: 
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS. 
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JULY 23, 2012, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER. 
 (b) Upon request of the applicable Carlyle Party, upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under the
Securities Act and applicable state laws, the Company shall promptly cause the first paragraph of the legend to be removed from any certificate for any Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock to be Transferred in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the second paragraph of the legend shall be removed upon the expiration of such transfer and other restrictions set forth in this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, immediately prior to any termination of this
Agreement). The Purchaser acknowledges that the Convertible Preferred Stock and Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock or, if applicable, issued pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered under
the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock 

  
 23 

 
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or, if applicable, issued pursuant to this Agreement, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the
Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. 
 4.4 Participation. 

(a) For the purposes of this Section 4.4, “Excluded Stock” shall mean (i) shares of equity securities issued by the
Company as a stock dividend payable in shares of equity securities, or upon any subdivision or split-up of the outstanding shares of capital stock, (ii) the issuance of shares of equity securities (including upon exercise of options) to
directors, employees or consultants of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan, restricted stock plan or other similar plan approved by the Board of Directors, (iii) the issuance of shares of equity securities in connection with bona fide
acquisitions of securities (other than securities of the Company or any non-wholly-owned Company Subsidiary), or substantially all of the assets of another Person or business (other than issuances to Persons that were Affiliates of the Company at
the time that the agreement with respect to such issuance was entered into), (iv) securities issued in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act, (v) securities issued pursuant to the conversion,
exercise or exchange of Class B Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Agreement or Convertible Preferred Stock issued to the Purchaser, (vi) shares of a Subsidiary of the Company issued to the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the
Company, or (vii) securities of a joint venture (provided that no Affiliate (other than any Subsidiary of the Company) of the Company acquires any interest in such securities in connection with such issuance). For the avoidance of doubt, any
securities issued or issuable by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the financing thereof shall be “Excluded Stock.” 

(b) If after the Closing, and for so long as the Carlyle Parties, in the aggregate, either (A) Beneficially Own at least 10% of the
total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an “as-converted basis”) or (B) Beneficially Own (on an “as-converted basis”) at least 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Carlyle
Parties on an “as-converted” basis as of the Closing (in the case of this clause (B), as adjusted to reflect any stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction), the Company proposes to issue equity
securities of any kind (the term “equity securities” shall include for these purposes any warrants, options or other rights to acquire Class A Common Stock or any other class of capital stock of the Company), pursuant to which the
Company expects to receive gross proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 (less the aggregate gross proceeds of any other issuances of equity securities (other than Excluded Stock) by the Company after the Closing that, as a result of this $5,000,000
threshold, were not subject to this Section 4.4(b)) other than Excluded Stock, then, the Company shall: 

(1) give written notice to the Purchaser Representative (no less than twenty (20) business days prior to the closing
of such issuance or if the Company reasonably expects such issuance to be completed in less than twenty (20) business days, such shorter period, which shall be as long as commercially practicable (and in any event no less than ten
(10) business days), required for the Carlyle Parties and (subject to Section

  
 24 

 
4.2) their Affiliates to participate in such issuance) setting forth in reasonable detail (A) the designation and all of the terms and provisions of the securities proposed to be issued (the
“Proposed Securities”), including, where applicable, the voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualification, limitations or restrictions thereof and interest rate and
maturity; (B) the price and other terms of the proposed sale of such securities; (C) the amount of such securities proposed to be issued; and (D) such other information as the Purchaser Representative may reasonably request in order
to evaluate the proposed issuance; and 
 (2) offer to issue and sell to the Carlyle Parties, on such terms as
the Proposed Securities are issued and upon full payment by the Carlyle Parties, a portion of the Proposed Securities equal to a percentage determined by dividing (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock the Carlyle Parties
Beneficially Own (on an “as-converted basis”) by (B) the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock then outstanding (on an “as-converted basis”). 

(c) The Carlyle Parties must exercise their purchase rights hereunder within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such notice
from the Company, or if the Company reasonably expects such issuance to be completed in less than twenty (20) business days, such shorter period, which shall be as long as practicable (and in any event no less than ten (10) business days
after receipt of notice from the Company), required for the Carlyle Parties and (subject to Section 4.2) their Affiliates to participate in such issuance. To the extent that the Company offers two or more securities in units to the other
participants in the offering, the Carlyle Parties must purchase such units as a whole and will not be given the opportunity to purchase only one of the securities making up such unit. The closing of the exercise of such subscription right shall take
place simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities giving rise to such subscription right. The obligation of the Company to provide the notice described in Section 4.4(b) shall be subject to the Purchaser
Representative’s written agreement to confidentiality and restrictions on trading terms reasonably acceptable to the Company. The failure of the Purchaser Representative to agree to such terms within ten (10) days after the date of receipt
of the Company’s notice as described in Section 4.4(b) shall constitute a waiver of the Carlyle Parties’ rights under this Section 4.4 in respect of such issuance. 

(d) Upon the expiration of the offering period described above, the Company will be free to sell such Proposed Securities that the
Carlyle Parties have not elected to purchase during the ninety (90) days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Carlyle Parties in the notice delivered in
accordance with Section 4.4(b). Any Proposed Securities offered or sold by the Company after such 90-day period must be reoffered to the Carlyle Parties pursuant to this Section 4.4. 

(e) The election by any Carlyle Parties not to exercise its subscription rights under this Section 4.4 in any one instance shall not
affect their right as to any subsequent proposed issuance. Any sale of such securities by the Company without first giving the Carlyle Parties the rights described in this Section 4.4 shall be void and of no force and effect. 

  
 25 

 4.5 Election of Directors. 

(a) To the extent (but only to the extent) the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are not entitled to elect one or more directors
pursuant to the Series A-1 Certificate, and for so long as the Carlyle Parties, in the aggregate, either (i) Beneficially Own at least 10% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an “as-converted basis”) or
(ii) Beneficially Own (on “as-converted basis”) at least 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Carlyle Parties on an “as-converted basis” as of the Closing (in the case of this clause (B), as
adjusted to reflect any stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction), the Board of Directors shall (A) recommend that one (1) director designated by the Purchaser Representative be included in the
slate of nominees in the class to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors at the next annual meeting of stockholders, in accordance with the Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware General Corporation Law and at each annual
meeting of stockholders of the Company thereafter at which such person’s term expires, and (B) appoint one (1) non-voting observer to the Board of Directors, subject, in each case, to such director’s or observer’s
satisfaction of all requirements regarding service as a director or board observer of the Company under applicable law or stock exchange rule regarding service as a director or board observer of the Company and such other criteria and qualifications
for service as a director or board observer set forth on Schedule 4.5 applicable to all directors or board observers of the Company; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall any such Person’s relationship with the Purchaser or its
Affiliates (or any other actual or potential lack of independence resulting therefrom) be considered to disqualify such Person from being a member of or observer to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4.5 and (y) if a designee
of the Purchaser Representative initially elected as a Series A-1 Director (as defined in the Series A-1 Certificate), or any replacement of such designee in accordance with the Series A-1 Certificate or this Section 4.5, remains on the Board
of Directors, then such Person will retain the term of such Series A-1 Director subject to death, disability, resignation or removal in accordance with Section 4.5(d) (and, accordingly, need not be nominated pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(A)
with respect to any annual meeting prior to the annual meeting at which such term expires). For the avoidance of doubt, such board observer shall not have the right to participate in any vote, consent or other action of the Board of Directors. The
director nominated by the Purchaser Representative under Section 4.5(a)(A) shall serve the term associated with the class of directors to which such director belongs in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at such time as neither of the thresholds set forth in Section 4.5(a)(i) and (ii) are satisfied, the right of the Purchaser Representative to nominate a director under Section 4.5(a)(A) and to appoint a board observer under
Section 4.5(a)(B) shall terminate and such director and board observer shall promptly resign. 
 (b) To the extent (but
only to the extent) the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are not entitled to elect two directors pursuant to the Series A-1 Certificate, and if (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1 is greater
than or equal to $550,000,000 and (ii) the Carlyle Parties, in the aggregate, either (A) Beneficially Own at least 15% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an “as-converted

  
 26 

 
basis”) or (B) Beneficially Own (on “as-converted basis”) at least 66% of the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Carlyle Parties on an as-converted
basis as of the Closing (in the case of this clause (B), as adjusted to reflect any stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction), the Board of Directors shall, in addition to the director nominated by the
Purchaser Representative under 4.5(a) or the Series A-1 Director, if applicable, recommend that one (1) additional director designated by the Purchaser Representative be included (i) at the next annual meeting of stockholders in the slate
of nominees in the class to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors at such annual meeting (or, if a Series A-1 Director or director nominated by the Purchaser Representative pursuant to Section 4.5(a) is already a member of such
class, then the class that was elected at the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders), in accordance with the Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware General Corporation Law and (ii) at each annual meeting of
stockholders of the Company thereafter at which such person’s term expires, in the slate of nominees in the class to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors at such annual meeting, in each case, subject to such director’s
satisfaction of all requirements regarding service as a director of the Company under applicable law or stock exchange rule regarding service as a director of the Company and such other reasonable criteria and qualifications for service as a
director set forth on Schedule 4.5 applicable to all directors of the Company; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall any such Person’s relationship with the Purchaser or its Affiliates (or any other actual or potential lack of
independence resulting therefrom) be considered to disqualify such Person from being a member of or observer to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4.5 and (y) if two designees of the Purchaser Representative initially elected
pursuant to this Section 4.5 or as Series A-1 Directors, or their respective replacements in accordance with the Series A-1 Certificate or this Section 4.5, remain on the Board of Directors, then such Persons will retain their respective
terms subject to death, disability, resignation or removal in accordance with Section 4.5(d) (and, accordingly, no designee of the Purchaser Representative need be nominated pursuant to Section 4.5(b)(A) with respect to any annual meeting
prior to the first annual meeting at which one of such terms expires). The director nominated by the Purchaser Representative under this Section 4.5(b) shall serve the term associated with the class of directors to which such director belongs
in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as none of the thresholds set forth in this Section 4.5(b) are satisfied, the right of the Purchaser Representative to nominate a director under
this Section 4.5(b) shall terminate and such director shall promptly resign. 
 (c) At every meeting of the stockholders of
the Company, called, and at every postponement or adjournment thereof, each Carlyle Party agrees to vote any and all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock entitled to be voted thereat, or to cause any such shares to be
voted, in the manner that is proportionate to the manner in which all of the shares of Common Stock which are voted in respect of such matter (other than the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock voted by the Carlyle
Parties) are voted with respect to the election or removal of each director other than the director(s) the Purchaser Representative is entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or (b). This Section 4.5(c) shall terminate when the
Purchaser Representative is no longer entitled to nominate any director 

  
 27 

 
pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or (b). At every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called, and at every postponement or adjournment thereof, each Carlyle Party agrees to cause any and
all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock entitled to be voted thereat to be present in person or represented by proxy so that all such shares shall be counted as present for determining the presence of a quorum at such
meetings. 
 (d) Without limiting the foregoing, if the Company shall have failed to cause the condition set forth in
Section 1.3(b)(7) to be satisfied at Closing, the Company shall take all necessary action to cause the applicable designees of the Purchaser Representative to be appointed to the Board of Directors (or as a non-voting observer to the Board of
Directors, as applicable) promptly after the Closing. In the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of any Person designated by the Purchaser Representative as a member of or observer to the Board of Directors (or, if the holders of
Convertible Preferred Stock no longer have the right to designate such Person, any Series A-1 Director or Person appointed as a non-voting observer to the Board of Directors pursuant to the Series A-1 Certificate), subject to the continuing
satisfaction of the applicable threshold set forth in Section 4.5(a) or (b), as applicable, the Purchaser Representative may designate a Person to replace such Person and the Company shall cause such newly designated Person to fill such
resulting vacancy (including as an observer, if applicable), subject to such Person’s satisfaction of all requirements regarding service as a director of the Company under applicable law or stock exchange rule regarding service as a director of
the Company and such other reasonable criteria and qualifications for service as a director set forth on Schedule 4.5 applicable to all directors of the Company; provided, however, that in no event shall any such Person’s relationship with the
Purchaser or its Affiliates (or any other actual or potential lack of independence resulting therefrom) be considered to disqualify such Person from being a member of or observer to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4.5. So long
as any Person designated by the Purchaser Representative to serve as a member of or observer to the Board of Directors is eligible to be so designated in accordance with this Section 4.5, the Company shall not take any action to remove such
Person as such an observer or director without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Representative. 
 4.6 Carlyle
Director Consent. Following the Closing, and for so long as the Purchaser Representative is entitled to designate at least one director pursuant to Section 4.5 or the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to elect at least one
director pursuant to the Series A-1 Certificate, none of the following actions shall be taken by the Board of Directors, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, without the Carlyle Director Consent: 

(a) any amendment or modification of the rights, preferences or privileges of the Convertible Preferred Stock; 

(b) any increase or decrease of the authorized number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (except pursuant to the Series A-1
Certificate or the Series A-2 Certificate with respect to shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Carlyle Parties); 

  
 28 

 (c) any amendment or modification of the Certificate of Incorporation, including the Series
A-1 Certificate and the Series A-2 Certificate, Bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of the Company in a manner that affects the Carlyle Parties in an adverse manner as a holder of Convertible Preferred Stock (if applicable); and

 (d) any material alteration of the principal lines of business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 4.7 Tax Matters. 
 (a) The Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to withhold taxes on all payments on the Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock or other securities issued upon conversion of the
Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent required by law. Prior to the date of any such payment, the Purchaser (or any transferee) shall deliver to the Company or its paying agent a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or an appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as applicable. 
 (b) Absent a change in
law or Internal Revenue Service practice, or a contrary determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Purchaser and the Company agree not to treat
the Convertible Preferred Stock (based on their terms as set forth in the Series A-1 Certificate or Series A-2 Certificate, as applicable) as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code, and Treasury Regulation
Section 1.305-5 for United States federal income tax and withholding tax purposes and shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment. 
 (c) The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on (x) the issue of the Convertible Preferred Stock and (y) the issue of shares of Class A
Common Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. However, in the case of conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or duty that may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be
made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid. 

(d) During any taxable year in which any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are or have been outstanding, (i) the Company shall
not declare or pay any dividends or other distributions with respect to its capital stock (other than (A) distributions on its common stock of its common stock or rights to acquire common stock, (B) cash dividends or other distributions on
(x) the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock or (y) the Convertible Preferred Stock, or (C) distributions of PIK Preferred Stock with respect to PIK Preferred Stock), (ii) the Company shall not authorize or
issue any class or series of stock (other than Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Convertible Preferred Stock or any PIK Preferred Stock), (iii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall issue any stock or debt
instrument that is 

  
 29 

 
convertible or exchangeable into shares of the Company’s stock (or that is accompanied by options or warrants to purchase such stock), other than (A) for the avoidance of doubt, any
rights in connection with a rights plan referenced in Section 9(h) of the Series A-1 Certificate or the Series A-2 Certificate, or (B) the Convertible Preferred Stock or any PIK Preferred Stock, and (iv) the Company shall not redeem,
repurchase, recapitalize or acquire shares of its capital stock in a transaction that would be treated, in whole or in part, as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes, unless such redemption, repurchase, recapitalization or
acquisition is an isolated transaction within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.305-3(b)(3); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing restrictions in this Section 4.7(d) shall
not apply to the Company and its Subsidiaries if the Company delivered to the Purchaser, prior to Closing, a written notice (which shall be irrevocable) electing the Cash-Pay Option (as described in the form of Series A-1 Certificate and Series A-2
Certificate).

as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not

equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party will allege, and each party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

prior to such date;

this Section 5.16(d) will not be effective if such breaches or inaccuracies are curable prior to the Outside Termination Date; and 
 (e) by notice given by the Purchaser Representative to the Company, if there have been one or more inaccuracies in or breaches of one or more representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by

Dividend Payment Date, commencing with the first such Dividend Payment Date, in each case, whether or not the Company has funds legally available for any dividend [(except that, if no funds are legally available for a dividend, the Company may not
pay any cash dividend pursuant to this Section 4(b) and any such dividend must be paid as a PIK dividend or added to the Liquidation Preference pursuant to Section 4(b)(v))]. [The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out

dividend, notwithstanding the conversion of such shares prior to the Dividend Payment Date.

Section 9(d)) or Section 10 (other than a distribution of rights issued pursuant to a stockholders’ rights plan (in which event the provisions of Section 9(h) shall apply), then the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized
committee of the Board of Directors, shall declare and pay to the Holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, on the same dates on which such cash dividend (or other dividend or distribution) is declared or paid, as applicable, on the Class A
Common Stock, a dividend or distribution in the same form and in an amount per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock equal to the product of (i) the per share dividend or distribution declared and paid in respect of each share of Class A
Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is then convertible on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution6; provided, however, that (x) until such dividend

otherwise accrued on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock but not paid or taken into account in the conversion of such Series A-1 Preferred Stock) of the Holder of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be converted shall cease and terminate with
respect to such shares. Prior to the Conversion Date or the Mandatory Conversion Date, as applicable, except as otherwise provided herein, Holders shall have no rights as owners of the Class A Common Stock (or other relevant capital stock or
equity interest into which the Series A-1 Preferred Stock may then be convertible in accordance herewith) (including voting powers, and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Class A Common Stock or other securities
issuable upon conversion) by virtue of holding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. 
 (c) Shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock
duly converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, or otherwise reacquired by the Company, will resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series, and will be available for future
issuance, but shall not be reissued as shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Company may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, but not below
the aggregate number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into which outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock would then be convertible (assuming for the
purpose of this calculation that the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained, whether or not it actually has been obtained). 
 (d) The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Class A Common Stock and/or cash issuable upon conversion of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of
such shares of Class A Common Stock and/or securities as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date or the Mandatory Conversion Date, as applicable, with respect thereto. In the event that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the
name in which shares of Class A Common Stock and/or cash to be issued or paid upon conversion of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock should be registered or paid or the manner in which such shares should be delivered, the Company shall be
entitled to register and deliver such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Company. 
 (e) In the event that fewer than all of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by any Holder are converted pursuant to Section 7(a), then a new

  
 A-15

 
certificate representing the unconverted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be issued to such Holder concurrently with the issuance of the certificates (or book-entry shares) representing
the applicable Class A Common Stock. 
 Section 9. Anti-Dilution Adjustments.11 (a) The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time (successively and for each event
described) in accordance with this Section 9. The term “Common Stock Outstanding” at any given time shall mean the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time. 

(b) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall (1) pay a
dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock in shares of its Class A Common Stock, (2) subdivide the then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares of
Class A Common Stock, or (3) combine the then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock (other than a dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination in connection with
a transaction to which Section 10 applies), then the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately preceding the effective time and date of such subdivision or
combination shall be adjusted, effective at such time, so that the holder of each share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of Class A Common Stock
that such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such time. 
 If any dividend or distribution that is the subject of this Section 9(b) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors,
or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Class A Common Stock held in treasury, if any. 

(c) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to holders
of all or substantially all of the Class A Common Stock any rights or warrants (other than a distribution of rights issued pursuant to a stockholders’ rights plan, to the extent such rights are attached to shares of Class A Common
Stock (in which event the provisions of Section 9(h) shall apply), a dividend reinvestment plan or an issuance in connection with a transaction in 

 

	11 	 Note to Draft: Sections 9 and 10 of Series A-2 Certificate will provide Holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock with the right to receive cash, securities or other property, if any, distributed to
Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (in lieu of adjustments to the Conversion Rate of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into Series A-1 Preferred Stock). 

  
 A-16

 
which Section 10 applies) entitling them (for a period of not more than 60 calendar days from the issuance date of such distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A
Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted,
effective as of the Close of Business on such Record Date for such distribution, based on the following formula: 
  

									
	 	 	CR’ = CR0	    	X	    	OS0 + X	  	 
		 		    		    	OS0 + Y	  	

 where 
  

					
	CR0	  	=	    	the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;
			
	CR’	  	=	    	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;
			
	OS0	  	=	    	the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding at the Close of Business on the Record Date for such issuance;
			
	X	  	=	    	the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
			
	Y	  	=	    	the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by (y) the Current Market Price of the
Class A Common Stock.

 In the event that such rights or warrants described in this Section 9(c) are not so issued, the Conversion Rate
shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, publicly announces 

  
 A-17

 
its decision not to issue such rights or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared. To the extent that shares of Class A Common
Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the
distribution of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered. In determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, there shall
be taken into account any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors. For purposes
of this Section 9(c), the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding at the Close of Business on the Record Date for such issuance shall not include shares of Class A Common Stock held in treasury, if any. The Company will not issue any
such rights or warrants in respect of shares of Class A Common Stock held in treasury, if any. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate may be required pursuant to this Section 9(c), delivery of any additional shares of Class A Common
Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion as a result of an adjustment required pursuant to this Section 9(c) shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 9(c). 

(d) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall, by dividend or
otherwise, distribute to holders of all or substantially all of the Class A Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company, evidences of its indebtedness, assets, property or rights or warrants to acquire the Company’s
capital stock or other securities, but excluding: 
 (i) any dividends or distributions as to which an adjustment
under another subsection of Section 9 shall apply; 
 (ii) any dividends or distributions in which the
Holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock share, in full, on an as-converted basis in accordance with Section 4; 
 (iii) any dividends or distributions in connection with a transaction to which Section 10 applies; and 
 (iv) any Spin-Offs to which the provision set forth below in this Section 9(d) shall apply 

(any such shares of capital stock, indebtedness, assets, property or rights or warrants to acquire Class A Common Stock or other securities,
hereinafter in this Section 9(d) called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted effective as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution, based on the
following formula: 
  

									
		 	CR’ =	    	CR0   X	    	      SP0	    	
		 		    		    	SP0 – FMV	    	

  
 A-18

 where 
  

					
	CR0	 	=	    	the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;
			
	CR’	 	=	    	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;
			
	SP0	 	=	    	the Current Market Price of the Class A Common Stock; and
			
	FMV	 	=	    	(i) for cash dividends or distributions, the amount of cash distributed plus (ii) for other Distributed Property, the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof) on the Record Date for such distribution of such Distributed Property, in each case, applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the
Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock is equal to or greater than
SP0 as set forth above (a “Liquidating
Distribution”), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the Company shall distribute to each holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the date such Distributed Property is distributed to holders of Common Stock, but without requiring such
holder to convert its shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Common
Stock then issuable upon the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the Record Date fixed for determination for shareholders entitled to receive such Liquidating Distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of
any distribution for purposes of this Section 9(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market
Price of the Class A Common Stock for purposes of calculating SP0 in the formula in this Section 9(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, where 

  
 A-19

 
there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Class A Common Stock consisting of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or
relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”) that are, or when issued will be, traded or listed on the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market or any other
U.S. national securities exchange or association, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, effective as of the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the effective date of the Spin-Off, based on the following formula: 

 

									
		 	CR’ = CR0	    	X	    	(FMV +MP0)	    	
		 		    		    	        
MP0	    	

 where 
  

					
	CR0	 	=	    	the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the effective date of the Spin-Off;
			
	CR’	 	=	    	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the effective date of the Spin-Off;
			
	FMV	 	=	    	the average of the Closing Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Class A Common Stock applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock
over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and
			
	MP0	 	=	    	the average of the Closing Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off.

 If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 9(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the
Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, publicly announces its decision not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion
Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been 

  
 A-20

 
declared. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required under this Section 9(d), delivery of any additional shares of Class A Common Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion
as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 9(d) shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 9(d). 

(e) If the Company takes any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than an action described in Section 9(b) though
9(d), which upon a determination by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, such determination intended to be a “fact” for purposes of Section 151(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, would materially
adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Conversion Ratio shall be increased, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors determines in good
faith to be equitable in the circumstances. 
 (f) (i) All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest
1/100,000 of a share of Class A Common Stock per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate is required if the amount of such adjustment would be less than 1%; provided, however, that any such
adjustment not required to be made pursuant to this Section 9(f)(i) will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than 1% that has not been made
will be made upon (x) any Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, or (y) the date of any Change of Control. 
 (ii) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made if Holders may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment, as a result of holding the Series A-1 Preferred Stock
(including without limitation pursuant to Section 4 hereof), without having to convert the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as if they held the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which a share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock
may then be converted. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

 (A) upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan
providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Class A Common Stock under any such plan; 

(B) upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase those shares pursuant
to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan, agreement or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; 

  
 A-21

 (C) upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to
any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock were first issued; 

(D) for a change in the par value of Class A Common Stock; or 

(E) for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. 

(g) Whenever the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted in accordance with Section 9, the Company shall: (i) compute the Conversion
Rate in accordance with Section 9, taking into account Section 9(f)(i) hereof; (ii) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9, taking
into account Section 9(f)(i) (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event; and
(iii) as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 9 hereof, provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders setting forth in reasonable detail the
method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Rate was determined and setting forth the revised Conversion Rate. 
 (h)
Rights Plans. If the Company has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Class A Common Stock on the Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Holders of such shares will receive, in addition
to the shares of Class A Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan relating to such Class A Common Stock, unless, prior to the Conversion Date, the rights have (i) become exercisable or (ii) separated from the shares of
Class A Common Stock (the first of events to occur being the “Trigger Event”), in either of which cases the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, effective automatically at the time of such Trigger Event, as if the Company had made
a distribution of such rights to all holders of the Class A Common Stock as described in Section 9(c) (without giving effect to the 60 day limit on the exercisability of rights and warrants ordinarily subject to such Section 9(c)),
subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights prior to the exercise, deemed exercise or exchange thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such stockholder rights are
exchanged by the Company for shares of Class A Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately readjusted as if such stockholder rights had not been issued, but the Company had instead issued the shares of Class A Common Stock
issued upon such exchange as a dividend or distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to Section 9(b). 

Section 10. Reorganization Events. (a) In the event that there occurs: 

(i) any consolidation, merger or other similar business combination of the Company with or into another Person, in each
case pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person; 

  
 A-22

 (ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company; 
 (iii) any reclassification, recapitalization, or
reorganization of the Class A Common Stock into securities including securities other than the Class A Common Stock; or 
 (iv) any statutory exchange of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock for securities of another Person (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger or other business combination);

 (any such event specified in this Section 10(a), a “Reorganization Event”); each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of the Holders thereof and subject to Section 10(f), remain outstanding but shall become convertible, at the option of the Holders into the kind of
securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event by a holder (other than the counterparty to the Reorganization Event or an Affiliate of such other party) of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which
each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock would then be convertible (such securities, cash and other property, the “Exchange Property”) (without interest on such Exchange Property). 

(b) In the event that holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be
received in such transaction, the consideration that the Holders are entitled to receive upon conversion shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by a majority of the holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock
that make an affirmative election; provided, however, that, to the extent the applicable transaction agreement provides for adjustments to such elected types and amounts of consideration that are generally applicable to holders of Class A
Common Stock making such elections, the types and amounts of consideration to be received by the holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be subject to such adjustments on an as-converted basis. 

(c) The above provisions of this Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events. If the provisions of
Section 9 apply to any event or occurrence then this Section 10 will not apply. 
 (d) The Company (or any successor)
shall, within 10 days of the consummation of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such consummation of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange
Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 10. 

  
 A-23

 (e) The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a
Reorganization Event unless such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock into the Exchange Property in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this
Section 10. 
 (f) Change of Control Sale. In the event of a Change of Control, each Holder of
outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have the option, during the period beginning on the effective date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”) and ending on the date that is 20 Business
Days after the later of (x) receipt of written notice contemplated by Section 10(f)(ii) and (y) the Change of Control Effective Date, to require the Company to purchase, out of funds legally available therefor, all or any portion of
its shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at a purchase price per share, payable in cash, equal to the Liquidation Preference, together with an amount equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared or otherwise accrued but not paid on the
shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock prior to or on the effective date of the sale pursuant to this Section 10(f) (including any accumulation in respect of dividends that have not been declared prior to or on such date)12 (a “Change of Control Sale”). 

(i) Initial Change of Control Notice. On or before the 20th Business Day prior to the date on which the Company
anticipates consummating the Change of Control (or, if later, promptly after the Company discovers that the Change of Control will occur), a written notice shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of
the Company. Such notice shall contain: 
 (x) the date on which the Change of Control is anticipated to be
effected (or, if applicable, the date on which a Schedule TO or other schedule, form or report disclosing a Change of Control was filed); and 
 (y) the date, which shall be no less than 20 Business Days after the anticipated Change of Control Effective Date, by which the Change of Control Sale option must be exercised (subject to delivery of the
notice contemplated by clause (ii) below). 
  

	12	 Note to
Draft: Price for Series A-2 Preferred Stock in a Change of Control Sale would be the greater of this amount and the as-converted fair market value, determined based on (x) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock (assuming for this purpose that the Requisite Stockholder Approval was obtained) and (y) Current Market Price of
Class A Common Stock, but no less than the value of any consideration to be received in respect of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Change of Control. 

  
 A-24

 (ii) Final Change of Control Notice. On the Change of Control
Effective Date, a final written notice shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Company. Such notice shall contain: 

(x) the date, which shall be no less than 20 Business Days after the Change of Control Effective Date, by which the Change
of Control Sale option must be exercised; 
 (y) the amount of cash payable per share of Series A-1 Preferred
Stock in accordance with this Section 10(f) and the purchase date for such shares, which shall be no greater than 10 Business Days from the date by which the Change of Control Sale option must be exercised (which date will be the effective date
of such Change of Control Sale if such option is exercised); and 
 (z) the instructions (consistent with this
Section 10(f)) a Holder must follow to exercise its Change of Control Sale option in connection with such Change of Control. 
 (iii) Change of Control Sale Procedure. To exercise a Change of Control Sale option, a Holder must, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date by which such option must be exercised,
surrender to the Company the certificates representing the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be sold (or, if such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and indemnity in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Company) and indicate that it is exercising its Change of Control Sale option, as applicable. 
 (iv) Delivery upon Change of Control Sale. Upon a Change of Control Sale, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder by mail or wire transfer the purchase price payable upon
the purchase by the Company of such Holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. 
 (v) Insufficient
Legally Available Funds. If on the date on which the Change of Control Sale is otherwise to occur in accordance with this Section 10(f), the Company does not have sufficient legally available funds to purchase all shares of Series A-1
Preferred Stock surrendered in connection with such Change of Control Sale in accordance with this Section 10(f), then the Company shall purchase the maximum number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that may be purchased with such legally
available funds, on a pro rata basis (including with respect to any shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock so surrendered) and, except to the extent a holder withdraws its exercise of the Change of Control Sale option with respect to unpurchased
shares, shall redeem any remaining shares as soon as it has any additional legally available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company does not have legally available funds that are available to purchase all

  
 A-25

 
shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that holders have elected to be purchased, or otherwise fails to comply with any provisions of this Section 10(f), the Dividend Rate shall increase one
percent (1%) per annum (0.25% per quarter) for each Dividend Period that commences after the then-current Dividend Period with respect to any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that remain outstanding, and the applicable Change of Control
Sale price for any share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock redeemed thereafter shall reflect such greater accrual of dividends through the date on which the Company pays the applicable Change of Control Sale price with respect thereto. 

(vi) Partial Change of Control Sale. If a portion, but less than all, of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock
held by any Holder are purchased in accordance with this Section 10(f) on any particular date, the Company shall promptly thereafter issue to such Holder a new certificate representing the remaining share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by
such Holder. 
 Section 11. Voting Powers.13 (a) In addition to the other voting powers and consent rights
set forth in this Certificate of Designations, including this Section 11 and as otherwise provided by law, the Holders shall be entitled to (i) vote with the holders of the Class A Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of
holders of Class A Common Stock, subject to the terms of the Investment Agreement, including Section 4.5(c) thereof, (ii) when voting with the Class A Common Stock a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock into which all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by such Holder are then convertible at the time of the record date for the determination of the holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to vote on the matter in question and
(iii) notice of all stockholders’ meetings in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and applicable law or regulation or stock exchange rule, as if the Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were
holders of Class A Common Stock. 
 (b) At any time, and from time to time, that at least (i) a
number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock equal to [50% of the number of shares of Purchased Stock (as defined in the Investment Agreement) issued on the Issue Date] (as adjusted to reflect any stock split, combination, reclassification,
recapitalization or similar transaction) are outstanding or (ii) shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock representing, on an as-converted basis, at least 10% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
outstanding, the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to (A) appoint and elect one director to the Board of Directors (such director,
herein referred to as a “Series A-1 Director”)14, subject to the Series A-1 
  

 

	13 	 Note to Draft: Series A-2 Preferred Stock will not have voting rights except as required by law. 

	14	 Note to Draft: If the investor’s investment amount is $550 million or greater, Section 11(b) will be revised to provide for two directors in the aggregate (to two separate classes) until the
investor owns less than 66% of its initial stake or less than 15%, at which point the investor will be entitled to one director as provided herein. 

  
 A-26

 
Director satisfying all requirements regarding service as a director of the Company under applicable law or stock exchange rule regarding service as a director of the Company and such other
reasonable criteria and qualifications required to be satisfied pursuant to the Investment Agreement for service as a director applicable to all directors of the Company and (B) appoint one non-voting observer to the Board of Directors, subject
to such observer satisfying all requirements regarding service as a board observer of the Company under applicable law or stock exchange rule regarding service as a board observer of the Company and such other reasonable criteria and qualifications
for service as a board observer required to be satisfied pursuant to the Investment Agreement and applicable to all directors or board observers of the Company. In connection with any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company (or any
action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) (x) at (or, in the case of a written consent, by) which directors of the class to which the Series A-1 Director is initially elected are to be elected, or (y) if fewer than the Specified
Number of Series A-1 Directors are then serving on the Board of Directors, then the Holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect such number of Series A-1 Directors as specified by this Section 11(b) based on the number
of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding on the record date for such meeting (or written consent) (the “Specified Number”). For the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock to vote for the election
of the Series A-1 Directors shall be in addition to the right of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock to vote together with the holders of Common Stock for the election of the other members of the Board of Directors, subject to the Investment Agreement,
including Section 4.5(c) thereof. 
 (c) Each Series A-1 Director so elected shall serve until his or her successor is
elected and qualified or his or her earlier resignation or removal; any vacancy or newly created directorship in the position of any of the Series A-1 Directors may be filled only by the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series
A-1 Preferred Stock; and the Series A-1 Director may, during his or her term of office, be removed at any time, with or without cause, by and only by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at a
special meeting called for such purpose or by written consent of such holders, and any vacancy created by such removal may also be filled by such holders at such meeting or by such consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as neither of
the thresholds set forth in Section 11(b) are satisfied, the Holders’ right to appoint and elect a Series A-1 Director and appoint a board observer shall terminate; provided that (i) the term of office of the Series A-1
Director and the board observer shall continue until the next meeting of stockholders at which directors (regardless of whether the class of directors which included Series A-1 Director would otherwise be up for election at such meeting) are to be
elected (or the earlier resignation, removal or death of such Series A-1 Director and board observer) at which point such Series A-1 Director and board observer shall resign, and (ii) any such vacancy which would not be filled by a Series A-1
Director at such 

  
 A-27

 
meeting may be filled prior to or at such meeting by the Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Company generally, and not by the Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock voting as a separate
class, in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws and applicable law; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11(c) shall modify the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock under the
Investment Agreement and, to the extent the Purchaser Representative continues to be permitted to designate directors or observers under the Investment Agreement, such directors shall not be required to resign and the term of office for the
applicable directors and observer shall continue , subject to any subsequent requirements (or other terms and conditions) under the Investment Agreement. The Company and the Board of Directors shall take any and all actions within their respective
power to ensure compliance with the terms of this Section 11. 
 (d) Each holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will have
one vote per share on any matter on which Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent. 
 Section 12. Fractional Shares. (a) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued as a result of any conversion of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. 

(b) In lieu of any fractional share of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of any conversion pursuant to
Section 7 hereof, the Company shall pay (concurrently with the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock) an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of the Class A Common
Stock determined as of the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date. 
 (c) If more than one share of the
Series A-1 Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares
of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock so surrendered. 
 Section 13. Reservation of Common Stock. (a) The Company
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Class A Common Stock or shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by the Company and not retired, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series
A-1 Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Designations, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding
plus the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into which outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock would then be convertible (assuming for the purpose of this calculation that the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been
obtained, whether or not it actually has been obtained). The Company shall take all such corporate and other actions as from time to time may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of

  
 A-28

 
shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. For purposes of this Section 13, the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (and the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A-2
Preferred Stock) shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to deliver upon conversion of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as
herein provided, shares of Class A Common Stock acquired and not retired by the Company (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock), so long as any such acquired shares are free and clear of all
liens, charges, security interests or encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders). 
 (c) All shares of Class A Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all
liens, claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders). 
 Section 14. Replacement Certificates. The Company shall replace any mutilated Series A-1 Preferred Stock certificate at the Holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the
Company. The Company shall replace certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the Holder’s expense upon delivery to the Company of satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any
indemnity that may reasonably be required by the Company. 
 Section 15. Miscellaneous. (a) All notices
referred to herein shall be in writing, and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or
certified mail with postage prepaid, addressed: (i) if to the Company, to its office at [    ], or (ii) if to any Holder, to such Holder at the address of such Holder as listed in the stock record books of the Company,
or (iii) to such other address as the Company or any such Holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given. 
 (b) The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer and documentary stamp taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or shares of
Class A Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock or other securities in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock with respect to

  
 A-29

 
which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any Person other than a payment to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be
required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. 
 (c) No share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have any rights of
preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Company, or any warrants, rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities, or such warrants, rights or options, may be designated issued or granted;
provided, however, that the Investment Agreement provides the Holder of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock with a participation right in the case of any issuance of new equity securities by the Company, subject to and in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth therein. 
 (d) The shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not have any voting powers,
preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law or the
Investment Agreement.

 (a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the following paragraphs of this Section 3(a), one or more Shareholders shall have the right, by delivering or causing to be delivered a written
notice to the Company, to require the Company to register pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the offer, sale and distribution of all of the number of Registrable Securities
requested to be so registered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on Form S-3 (which, unless all Shareholders delivering such notice request otherwise, shall be (i) filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and (ii) if the
Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing such registration statement with the SEC, designated by the Company as an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement), if the Company is then eligible for such short-form, or any similar or

Registrations”) (any such written notice, a “Demand Notice” and any such registration, a “Demand Registration”), as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of such Demand Notice, but, in any event,
the Company shall be required to make the initial filing of the Registration Statement in connection with such Demand Registration within 75 days, in the case of a Long-Form Registration, or 21 days, in the case of a Short-Form Registration,
following receipt of such Demand Notice; provided, however, that a Demand Notice may only be made if the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by such Shareholders is reasonably expected to result in aggregate
gross cash proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission). Following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to file a 

  
 B-3

 
Registration Statement in accordance with such Demand Notice as promptly as practicable and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no later than the first Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined in the Certificates of Designations), the Company
shall register pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and cause to be then effective an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or, if the Company is not then eligible to use an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, another Short-Form
Registration, registering the offer, sale and distribution by the Shareholders of all of the Registrable Securities to be received by the Shareholders as a result of the conversion of such Shareholder’s Convertible Preferred Stock on such
Mandatory Conversion Date and all other Registrable Securities (including all shares issuable upon the conversion of all Convertible Preferred Stock, assuming for the purposes of this sentence that the Requisite Stockholder Approval, as defined in
the Investment Agreement, has been obtained) not previously so registered pursuant to a then effective registration statement; provided, however, that if the Company is not then eligible to use an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement
or another Short-Form Registration, the Company may comply with the foregoing through a Long-Form Registration that is available for the immediate offer, sale and distribution by the Shareholders of all such Registrable Securities. 

No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 3, and any Demand Notice delivered in
connection therewith shall not count as a Demand Notice for purposes of Section 3(e), if (x) the Registration Statement relating thereto (and covering not less than all Registrable Securities specified in the applicable Demand Notice for
sale in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution specified in such Demand Notice) (i) does not become effective, or (ii) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this Section 3 or
(y) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, injunction, or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period. 

All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended
methods of disposition thereof. 
 Except as otherwise agreed by all Shareholders with Registrable Securities subject to a
Demand Registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration until such securities cease to be Registrable Securities or such
shorter period upon which all Shareholders with Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have notified the Company that such Registrable Securities have actually been sold. 

Within six business days after receipt by the Company of a Demand Notice pursuant to this Section 3(a), the Company shall deliver a
written notice of any such Demand Notice to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b), include in such Demand Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which
the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 business days after the date that such notice has been delivered; provided that such holders must agree to the method of distribution proposed by the Shareholders who
delivered the Demand Notice and, in connection with any underwritten registration, such holders (together with the Company and the other holders including securities in such underwritten registration) must enter into an underwriting agreement in the
form reasonably approved by the Shareholders holding the majority of the Registrable Securities. All requests made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended
method of distribution of such securities. 
 (b) Priority on Demand Registration. If any of the Registrable
Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the holders of such securities in writing that in its good faith opinion the total number or
dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of such offering (including securities proposed to be included by other holders of securities entitled to
include securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights), then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities and such other securities
that in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities and such other securities shall be allocated as follows: 

(i) first, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such Demand
Registration on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such holders; and 

  
 B-4

 (ii) second, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration,
as the case may be, was requested by the Company. 
 No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the
underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such offering. 
 (c) Postponement of Demand
Registration. The Company shall be entitled to postpone (but not more than once in any 12-month period), for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 60 days, the filing (but not the preparation) of a Registration Statement if the
Company delivers to the Shareholders requesting registration a certificate certifying that such registration and offering would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona fide material
financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company or require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure; provided, however, that (i) with respect to each 12-month period, the 60-day maximum
described in this sentence will be reduced by one day for each day during which holders of Registrable Securities are required to discontinue disposition of securities pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6 and (ii) in the event any
Mandatory Conversion Date occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the date hereof, the restrictions in Section 3(a) and this Section 3(c) shall not apply from the first such Mandatory Conversion Date until the business day after
the second anniversary of the date hereof; provided, further, however, that with respect to the foregoing (ii), to the extent that each holder of Registrable Securities subject to the Mandatory Conversion is offered the option
to include all its securities so converted in a concurrently consummated underwritten offering pursuant to a Piggyback Registration, the restrictions in Section 3(a) and this Section 3(c) shall continue to apply. Such certificate shall
contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The Shareholders receiving such certificate shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set
forth in Section 6(o). If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, the Shareholders requesting such registration shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company
within 10 days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as provided in the certificate delivered to the applicable Shareholders and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon such withdrawal, the withdrawn request shall not constitute
a Demand Notice; provided that in the event such Shareholders do not so withdraw the request for registration, the Company shall continue to prepare a Registration Statement during such postponement such that, if it exercises its rights under
this Section 3(c), it shall be in a position to and shall, as promptly as practicable following the expiration of the applicable deferral or suspension period, file or update and use its reasonable efforts to cause the effectiveness of the
applicable deferred or suspended Registration Statement. 
 (d) Cancellation of a Demand Registration. Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities that are to be registered in a particular offering pursuant to this Section 3 shall have the right to notify the Company that they have determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn,
in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement; provided, that such Demand Notice underlying such abandonment or withdrawal shall not be deemed to be a Demand Notice for purposes of 3(e) if in response to a
material adverse change regarding the Company or a material adverse change in the financial markets generally. 
 (e) Number
of Demand Notices. In connection with the provisions of this Section 3, the Shareholder shall have (i) (A) if the Aggregate Purchase Price is greater than or equal to $550,000,000, four Demand Notices in connection with
Marketed Offerings, or (B) if the Aggregate Purchase Price is less than $550,000,000, two Demand Notices in connection with Marketed Offerings, which it is permitted to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Company hereunder;
provided, in either case, that in connection therewith the 

  
 B-5

 
Company shall cause its officers to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (including participation in
“road shows”), and (ii) in any event, four additional Demand Notices in any 365 day period (other than in connection with a Marketed Offering), which it is permitted to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Company
hereunder provided, that in connection therewith the Company shall not be obligated to cause its officers to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and such officers will not be obligated to
participate in any “road shows”. 
 Section 4. Piggyback Registration; Shelf Take Down. 

(a) Right to Piggyback. Except with respect to a Demand Registration, the procedures for which are addressed in
Section 3, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Class A Common Stock whether or not for sale for its own account and whether or not an underwritten offering or an
underwritten registration (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto, (ii) filed in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan or
(iii) relating solely to the offer and sale of debt securities), then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such filing no later than five business days prior to the filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to all of the
holders of Registrable Securities. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request (a
“Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that until the expiration of the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 4.2(a) of the Investment Agreement, the Company shall only be required to use its
reasonable best efforts to register the subsequent resale of such Registrable Securities by the holders thereof under the registration statement subject to a Piggyback Registration and not to include such Registrable Securities with any securities
sold pursuant to an offering thereunder (subject to Section 3(c)). Subject to Section 4(b), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written
requests for inclusion therein (each a “Piggyback Request”) within 10 business days after notice has been given to the applicable holder. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
for a Piggyback Registration beyond the earlier to occur of (x) 180 days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the holders of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement.

 (b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If any of the Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to the
registration giving rise to the rights under this Section 4 are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to
permit holders of Registrable Securities who have submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and conditions
as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering advise the Company in writing that it is their good faith
opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities that such holders, the Company and any other Persons having rights to participate in such registration, intend to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or
distribution of the securities in such offering, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without so adversely
affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, all securities proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account (except to the extent the Company seeks to avail itself of the
second proviso of Section 3(c), in which case such number of Registrable Securities shall first be allocated to all Registrable Securities subject to such Mandatory Conversion prior to any securities proposed to be sold by the Company for its
own account); (ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 4, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such Registration Statement by such holders; and (iii) third, all other securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement; provided that holders may, prior to the earlier of the (i) effectiveness of the
Registration Statement and (ii) time at which the offering price and/or underwriter’s discount are determined with the managing underwriter or underwriters, withdraw their request to be included in such registration pursuant to this
Section 4. 

  
 B-6

 (c) Shelf-Take Downs. At any time that a shelf registration statement covering
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 is effective, if any Shareholder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities
included by it on the shelf registration statement (a “Shelf Offering”), then, the Company shall amend or supplement the shelf registration statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be
distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other holders pursuant to this Section 4(c)). In connection with any Shelf Offering, including any Shelf Offering that is a Marketed
Offering: 
 (i) such proposing holder(s) shall also deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other holders of
Registrable Securities included on such shelf registration statement and permit each such holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the shelf registration statement in the Shelf Offering if such holder notifies the proposing holder(s)
and the Company within five days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder; and 
 (ii) if the Shelf
Offering is underwritten, in the event that the underwriters of such Shelf Offering advise such holders in writing that it is their good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities proposed to be sold exceeds the total number or
dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be included, then the underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities which would
otherwise be included in such Shelf Offering in the same manner as described in Section 3(b) with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in a registration; 
 provided, however, that each Shelf Offering that is a Marketed Offering initiated by a Shareholder shall be deemed to be a demand subject to the provisions of
Section 3(a) (subject to Section 3(d)), and shall decrease by one the number of Demand Notices such Shareholder is entitled to pursuant to Section 3(e)(i); provided, further, that, without the
consent of the board of directors of the Company, no Shareholder shall initiate more than four underwritten Shelf Offerings (other than in connection with a Marketed Offering) in any 365 day period; provided,
further, that a Take-Down Notice with respect to an underwritten offering that is not a Marketed Offering may only be made if the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold by all Shareholders in the Shelf Offering is
reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of $25,000,000 (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission).  
 Section 5. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees with all other holders of Registrable Securities and the Company
in connection with any underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4(a), respectively (whether or not such holder elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration
Statement), if requested (pursuant to a written notice) by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such offering, not to effect any public sale or distribution of any of the Company’s securities (except as part of such underwritten
offering), including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any swap or other economic arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of owning the Class A Common Stock, or to give any Demand Notice during the period commencing
on the date of the Prospectus and continuing for not more than 90 days after the date of the Prospectus (or, in either case, Prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a “shelf” registration), pursuant to which such public
offering shall be made, plus, a then customary “booster shot” extension required to permit research analysts to publish research reports compliant with Rule 139 under the Securities Act pursuant to FINRA Rule 2711 (or a successor thereto).
In connection with any underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4, the Company shall be responsible for negotiating all “lock-up” agreements with the underwriters and,
in addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Shareholders and holders of Registrable Securities agree to execute the form so negotiated; provided, that the form so negotiated is reasonably acceptable to the Shareholders
and holders of Registrable Securities and consistent with the agreement set forth in this Section 5 and that, in the case of a Marketed Offering, the Company’s executive officers and directors shall also have executed such form of
agreement so negotiated. 

  
 B-7

 If any registration pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement shall be in connection with
any: (i) Marketed Offering (including with respect to a Shelf Offering pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof), the Company will cause each of its executive officers and directors to sign a “lock-up” agreement consistent with that
contemplated in the immediately preceding paragraph and (ii) underwritten offering (including with respect to a Shelf Offering pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof), the Company will also not effect any public sale or distribution of any common
equity (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common equity) (other than a registration statement (A) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (B) filed solely in connection with an exchange offer
or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan) for its own account, within 90 days (plus, a then customary “booster shot” extension required to permit research analysts to publish research reports compliant with Rule 139 under the
Securities Act pursuant to FINRA Rule 2711 (or a successor thereto)) after the date of the Prospectus for such offering except as may otherwise be agreed with the holders of the Registrable Securities in such offering. 

Section 6. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 3 or Section 4, the Company shall effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of
disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in the sale of the securities and shall, as expeditiously as possible to the extent applicable: 
 (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form as shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof or by the Company
in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof and in accordance with this Agreement, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain effective as provided herein;
provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall
furnish or otherwise make available to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be
subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to
participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the
Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including such documents that, upon filing, would be
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) with respect to a Demand Registration to which the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel, or the managing
underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object, in writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such filing is necessary to comply with applicable law; 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration
Statement; and cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such Registration
Statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; 
 (c) notify each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a

  
 B-8

 
Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if at any time the Company has reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company
contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(n) below cease to be true and correct, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (vi) if the Company has knowledge of the happening of any event that makes
any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration
Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading (which notice shall notify the selling holders only of the occurrence of such an event and shall provide no additional information regarding such event to the extent such information would constitute material
non-public information); 
 (d) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest date reasonably
practicable; 
 (e) if requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the holders of a majority of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters, if any, and such holders may reasonably request in
order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 6(e) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law; 

(f) furnish or make available to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and each managing underwriter, if any,
without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and Prospectus supplements, if applicable, and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements (but excluding schedules, all documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits, unless requested in writing by such holder, counsel or underwriter); provided that the Company may furnish or make available any such documents in electronic
format; 
 (g) deliver to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without
charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the distribution of the Registrable
Securities; provided that the Company may furnish or make available any such documents in electronic format (other than, in the case of a Marketed Offering, upon the request of the managing underwriters thereof for printed copies of any such
Prospectus or Prospectuses); and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6, hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling holders of Registrable Securities and
the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto; 

  
 B-9

 (h) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts
to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or
qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any seller or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to keep each such
registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to this Agreement and to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such
holders of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Agreement or (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject but for this
Agreement; 
 (i) cooperate with, and direct the Company’s transfer agent to cooperate with, the selling holders of
Registrable Securities and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely settlement of any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including the preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends) or book-entry (not
bearing stop transfer instructions) representing Registrable Securities to be sold after receiving written representations from each holder of such Registrable Securities that the Registrable Securities represented by the certificates so delivered
by such holder will be transferred in accordance with the Registration Statement and, in connection therewith, if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall promptly after the effectiveness of the registration
statement cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent
which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without restriction upon sale by the holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement; 

(j) upon the occurrence of, and its knowledge of, any event contemplated by Section 6(c)(vi) above, prepare a supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to
the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such that the Registration Statement will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, not misleading, and the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 (k) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement
relating to the Registrable Securities, provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities; 
 (l) provide and cause to be
maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 

(m) use its reasonable best efforts to, cause all shares of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed
on a national securities exchange if shares of the particular class of Registrable Securities are at that time listed on such exchange, as the case may be, prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement; 

(n) enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings
and such other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreements, including customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters) and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, if any) to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

  
 B-10

 (o) in connection with a customary due diligence review, make available for inspection by a
representative of the selling holders of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any counsel or accountants retained by such selling holders or underwriter (collectively,
the “Offering Persons”), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the
officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information and participate in customary due diligence sessions in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in
connection with such Registration Statement, provided, however, that any information that is not generally publicly available at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Offering Persons unless
(i) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order, (ii) disclosure of such information, in the reasonable judgment of the Offering Persons, is required by law or applicable legal process (including in
connection with the offer and sale of securities pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC), (iii) such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a non-permitted disclosure or failure to
safeguard by such Offering Persons in violation of this Agreement or (iv) such information (A) was known to such Offering Persons (prior to its disclosure by the Company) from a source other than the Company when such source, to the
knowledge of the Offering Persons, was not bound by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company with respect to such information, (B) becomes available to the Offering Persons from a source other than the
Company when such source, to the knowledge of the Offering Persons, is not bound by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company with respect to such information or (C) was developed independently by the
Offering Persons or their respective representatives without the use or, or reliance on, information provided by the Company. In the case of a proposed disclosure pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, such Person shall be required to give the
Company written notice of the proposed disclosure prior to such disclosure (except in the case of (ii) above when a proposed disclosure was or is to be made in connection with a Registration Statement or Prospectus under this Agreement); and

 (p) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities 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 the FINRA, including the use reasonable best efforts to obtain FINRA’s pre-clearance or pre-approval of the Registration Statement
and applicable Prospectus upon filing with the SEC. 
 The Company may require each holder of Registrable Securities as to which
any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company in writing such information required in connection with such registration regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may, from time to time,
reasonably request in writing and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 

Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees if such holder has Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement that, upon
receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(c)(ii), 6(c)(iii), 6(c)(iv) or 6(c)(v), such holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(j), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable
Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus; provided, however, that the time periods under
Section 3 with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of a Registration Statement must be maintained shall automatically be extended by the amount of time the holder is required to discontinue disposition of such securities.

 Section 7. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred by the Company and incident to the
performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company (including (i) all registration and filing fees (including fees and expenses with respect to (A) all SEC, stock exchange or trading system and FINRA registration, listing,

 B-11

selling commissions and all stock transfer taxes, in each case related to Registrable Securities registered in accordance with the Agreement, shall be borne by the Shareholders of Registrable Securities included in such registration pro rata
among each other on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so registered (provided that such stock transfer taxes shall be borne solely by the holders of Registrable Securities subject to such taxes). 

Except as set forth above, the Company shall not be required pursuant to this Agreement to pay (i) fees and disbursements of any
counsel retained by any holder of Registrable Securities or by any underwriter, (ii) any underwriter’s fees (including discounts, commissions or fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry
professionals) relating to the distribution of the Registrable Securities (other than with respect to Registrable Securities sold by the Company), or (iii) any other expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities not specifically required to
be paid by the Company pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 7. 
 Section 8. Indemnification.

 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by a Registration Statement or Prospectus, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders,
accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners,
members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act) such underwriter, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in
connection with any investigation or Proceeding), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document
(including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and (without limitation of
the preceding portions of this Section 8(a)) will reimburse each such holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees and each Person who controls each such holder
and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each such underwriter, and each Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on
any untrue statement or omission by such holder or underwriter, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular,
or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities expressly for inclusion therein. It is agreed that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

  
 B-12

 (b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. The Company may
require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with this Agreement, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of
such Registrable Securities to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and all other prospective sellers, from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such
Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document, or any omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and to reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and all other prospective sellers for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or action, in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term
is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities
expressly for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such holder under such undertaking shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is
effected without the consent of such holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of such holder of Registrable Securities shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such
selling holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. 
 (c) Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder or under the undertaking contemplated by Section 8(b) (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the
party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto;
provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced
by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or Proceeding, to, unless in
the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or
Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or Proceeding and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in
the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or Proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim
or Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys
(together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without
its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnified Party 

  
 B-13

 
of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled
to indemnification hereunder. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with
this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, promptly upon receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder, provided that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification under this Section 8). 
 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the
actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information
supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), an Indemnifying
Party that is a selling holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 8(b) by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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 was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall
control. 
 Section 9. Rule 144. 
 (a) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to: (i) file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner, to the extent required from
time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144; and (ii) so long as any Registrable Securities are outstanding,
furnish holders thereof upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act and (B) a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company (except to the extent the same is available on EDGAR). 
 (b) The foregoing provisions of this
Section 9 are not intended to modify or otherwise affect any restrictions on transfers of securities contained in the Investment Agreement. 

  
 B-14

 Section 10. Underwritten Registrations. 

(a) In connection with any underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and managers shall be selected by
(i) the Shareholder holding the majority of Registrable Securities included in any Demand Registration, including any Shelf Offering, initiated by the Shareholder, which selection shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (and approval of
the same not to be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) the Company to administer any other offering, including any Piggyback Registration. 
 (b) No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell the Registrable Securities it desires to have covered by a Registration Statement on the
basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements. 
 Section 11. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given without the written consent of each of the Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other
holders of Registrable Securities may be given by holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such holders pursuant to such Registration Statement. 

(b) Notices. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given if
personally delivered, telecopied and confirmed, or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight delivery service with proof of receipt maintained, at the following address (or any other address that any such party may designate
by written notice to the other parties): 
 If to the Company, to the address of its principal executive offices. If to any
Shareholder, at such Shareholder’s address as set forth on the records of the Company. Any such notice shall, if delivered personally, be deemed received upon delivery; shall, if delivered by telecopy, be deemed received on the first business
day following confirmation; shall, if delivered by overnight delivery service, be deemed received the first business day after being sent; and shall, if delivered by mail, be deemed received upon the earlier of actual receipt thereof or five
business days after the date of deposit in the United States mail. 
 (c) Successors and Assigns; Shareholder
Status. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties, including subsequent holders of Registrable Securities acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
Shareholders; provided, however, that (x) the Company may not assign this Agreement (in whole or in part) with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities and (y) such successor or
assign shall not be entitled to such rights unless the successor or assign shall have executed and delivered to the Company an Addendum Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (which shall also be executed by the Company)
promptly following the acquisition of such Registrable Securities, in which event such successor or assign shall be deemed a Shareholder for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any Shareholder assigns some or all of
its rights hereunder to deliver a Demand Notice or a Take-Down Notice to any permitted assignee, such Shareholder shall, if such rights to deliver Demand Notices or Take-Down Notices are subject to limitations pursuant to this Agreement, including
Section 3(e) and the provisos to Section 4(c), no longer be entitled to exercise such rights, but only to the extent assigned, and the exercise of such Demand Notice or Take-Down Notice by such assignee shall be subject to the provisions
of this Agreement, including Section 3(e) and the provisos to Section 4(c). Except as provided in Section 8 with respect to an Indemnified Party, nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under, in or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. 

  
 B-15

 (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts
and delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission with the same effect as if all signatory parties had signed and delivered the same original document, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (e) Headings; Construction. The section and paragraph headings contained
in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context requires otherwise: (i) pronouns in the masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall be
construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa; (ii) the term “including” shall be construed to be expansive rather than limiting in nature and to mean
“including, without limitation,”; (iii) references to sections and paragraphs refer to sections and paragraphs of this Agreement; and (iv) the words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,”
“hereby,” “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including Exhibit A hereto, and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. 

(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 (g) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated,
and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. 

(h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Investment Agreement and the Certificates of Designations are intended by the
parties as a final expression of their agreement, and are intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no
restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein, with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to Registrable Securities. This Agreement, together with
the Investment Agreement and the Certificates of Designations, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. 
 (i) Securities Held by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Whenever the consent or approval of holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable
Securities held by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the holders of such required percentage. 
 (j) Specific Performance; Further Assurances. The parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to compensate the holders of any Registrable Securities for breaches
by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach. The parties hereto agree that in the event the registrations and sales of
Registrable Securities are effected pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States, such parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to give effect as closely as possible to the rights and obligations set forth
in this Agreement, taking into account customary practices of such foreign jurisdiction, including executing such documents and taking such further actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to carry out the foregoing. 

(k) Term. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to a Shareholder on the date on which such Shareholder ceases to hold
Registrable Securities; provided, that, such Shareholder’s rights and obligations pursuant to Section 8, as well as the Company’s obligations to pay expenses pursuant to Section 7,

  
 B-16

 
shall survive with respect to any registration statement in which any Registrable Securities of such Shareholders were included and, for the avoidance of doubt, any underwriter lock-up that a
Shareholder has executed prior to a Shareholder’s termination in accordance with this clause shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms. 
 (l) Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts
of the United States of America located in New York, and appropriate appellate courts therefrom, over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and each party hereby irrevocably agrees
that all claims in respect of such dispute or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. This consent to jurisdiction is being given solely for purposes of this Agreement and is not intended
to, and shall not, confer consent to jurisdiction with respect to any other dispute in which a party to this Agreement may become involved. 
 Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action, or proceeding of the nature specified in the paragraph above by the mailing of a copy
thereof in the manner specified by the provisions of Section 11(b). 
 EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 Commitment Letter 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (“you” or “Holdings”) has advised Bank of America, N.A.
(“Bank of America”) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (or any of its designated affiliates, “Merrill Lynch” and, together with Bank of America, the “Commitment
Parties”, “we” or “us”) that you intend to form a Delaware corporation (the “Acquisition Sub”), for the purpose of acquiring (the
“Acquisition”) a company previously identified to us as “Mackerel” (the “Acquired Business”). The Acquisition will be effected by the merger of Acquisition Sub with and into the Acquired
Business, with the Acquired Business surviving such merger (the “Merger”); provided that (i) if (A) Title 49 of the United States Code or other controlling law is amended to allow Holdings to acquire control
of the Acquired Business without obtaining the Surface Transportation Board (“STB”) or other governmental approval or exemption or (B) the STB by final order otherwise approves or exempts the control of the Acquired
Business by Holdings (any of the foregoing, “Final STB Approval”), then the Acquisition shall be consummated, and if (ii) (A) approval or authorization of the STB shall have been obtained for a voting trust
transaction pursuant to which shares of the Acquired Business shall be placed into an irrevocable voting trust (the “Voting Trust”) after giving effect to the acquisition contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement (as defined
below) pending receipt of Final STB Approval and (B) the STB shall have issued an informal, non-binding opinion approving a voting trust agreement substantially consistent with the agreement set forth in Annex III, inclusive in any event of
Sections 7(a) and (b) set forth therein, or otherwise in such form as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent (such agreement, the “Voting Trust Agreement”) in respect of such Voting Trust and the shares of the
Acquired Business, after giving effect to the Merger, will be transferred to the Voting Trust pending receipt of the Final STB Approval (collectively, the “Trust Closing”), then the Acquisition may nonetheless be consummated
at the election of Holdings and all shares of the Acquired Business, after giving effect to the Merger, will be deposited into the Voting Trust. Holdings, the Acquired Business and their respective subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as
the “Companies”. 
 You have also advised us that you intend to finance the Acquisition, the repayment
or redemption of existing indebtedness of the Companies (the “Refinancing”), the costs and expenses related to the Transaction and the ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Companies after
consummation of the Acquisition from the following sources: (a) equity investments in Holdings in an aggregate amount not less than $750 million from (i) investors and/or (ii) from the sale of common equity in a registered public
offering, all of which investments shall be made in cash in the form 

 
of common equity or preferred equity (i) that does not convert to cash, (ii) with a current pay rate not excess of 7% per annum and (iii) that has the option for the current
pay rate to be “Paid-in-Kind” by Holdings (such investments, collectively, the “Equity Contribution”); and (b) up to $2,300 million in senior secured credit facilities of Holdings, comprised of (i) a
term-A loan facility of $875 million (the “Term A Facility”), (ii) a term-B loan facility of $1,000 million (the “Term B Facility”) and (iii) a revolving credit facility of up to $425 million
(the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term A Facility and the Term B Facility, the “Facilities”). The Acquisition (including if applicable the entry into of the Voting Trust Agreement
and related documentation and the Trust Closing), the Equity Contribution, the Refinancing, the entering into and funding of the Facilities and all related transactions are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Transaction.” The date of consummation of the Acquisition and the initial funding of the Facilities is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” 

1. Commitments. In connection with the foregoing, (a) Bank of America is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide
the full principal amount of each of the Facilities (in such capacity, the “Initial Lender”) and its willingness to act as the sole and exclusive administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”) for the Facilities, all upon and subject to the terms set forth in this letter, in the Summary of Terms set forth in Annex I hereto (the “Summary of Terms”) and in Annex II hereto (collectively, the
“Commitment Letter”) and (b) Merrill Lynch is pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage Merrill Lynch, to act as the sole and exclusive lead arranger and sole and exclusive bookrunning manager (in
such capacity, the “Lead Arranger”) for the Facilities, and in connection therewith to form a syndicate of lenders for the Facilities (collectively, the “Lenders”) in consultation with you, including
Bank of America. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Arranger will not syndicate to those banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors or to those persons that are separately identified in writing by you to us
prior to the date of this Commitment Letter (“Disqualified Lenders”). Except as set forth below, you agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers, co-arrangers, bookrunners, co-bookrunners, managers or co-managers will be
appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid to any Lender (as defined below) in order to obtain its
commitment to participate in the Facilities unless you and we shall so agree; provided that you may, on or prior to the date that is ten business days after the date of your acceptance of this Commitment Letter, appoint up to two additional
joint bookrunners, agents, co-agents, managers or co-managers for the Facilities, and award such joint bookrunner, additional agents, co-agents, managers or co-managers titles in a manner and with economics set forth in the immediately succeeding
proviso (it being understood that, to the extent you appoint any additional joint bookrunner, agents, co-agents, managers or co-managers or confer other titles in respect of the Facilities, the commitments of the Initial Lenders in respect of the
Facilities, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with this proviso, will be permanently reduced by the amount of the commitments of such appointed entities (or their relevant affiliates) in respect of the Facilities, with such reduction
allocated to reduce the commitments of the Initial Lender in respect of the Facilities at such time on a pro rata basis across the Facilities upon the execution by such financial institution (and any relevant affiliate) of customary joinder
documentation and, thereafter, each such financial institution (and any relevant affiliate) shall constitute an “Initial Lender” hereunder); provided, further, that, in connection with the appointment of any additional joint
bookrunner for the Facilities in accordance with the immediately preceding proviso, (x) no additional joint bookrunners, agent, co-agent, manager or co-manager shall have greater economics than Bank of America and (y) the aggregate
economics payable to such additional joint bookrunner (or any relevant affiliate thereof) in respect of the Facilities shall be proportionate to the commitment of such additional joint book runner (or any relevant affiliate thereof) in respect of
the Facilities. It is understood and agreed that Bank of America and Merrill Lynch will have “lead left” placement on all marketing materials relating to the Facilities and will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily
performed and exercised by them in such role, including acting as sole manager of the physical books. The commitments of the Initial Lender in respect of the Facilities and the 

  
 -2-

 
undertaking of the Lead Arranger to provide the services described herein are subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 hereof, those set forth
under the caption “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing”, in the Summary of Terms and those set forth in Annex II hereto. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as specified therefor
in the Summary of Terms. 
 2. Syndication. The Lead Arranger intends to commence syndication of each of the Facilities
promptly after your acceptance of the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (as hereinafter defined) related to such Facility. You agree to actively assist, and to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business
and its subsidiaries to actively assist, the Lead Arranger in achieving a syndication of each such Facility that is satisfactory to the Lead Arranger until the earlier of Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and 90 days following
the Closing Date; provided that we agree that the Commitment Parties’ commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or
successful completion of the syndication of the Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date; provided that, notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Facilities and receive
commitments with respect thereto, no assignment shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of the Commitment Party’s commitments in respect of the Facilities (other than an assignment to an additional joint bookrunner, agent,
co-agent, manager or co-manager for the Facilities pursuant to Section 1 above, in respect of the amount allocated to such additional joint bookrunner, agent, co-agent, manager or co-manager) until the funding of such Facilities by such
assignees and, unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Commitment Party shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitment, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements,
waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred. Such assistance shall include (a) your providing and causing your advisors to provide, and using your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business, its subsidiaries
and its advisors to provide, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders upon request with all information reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arranger to complete such syndication, including, but not limited to, information and evaluations prepared by
you, the Acquired Business and your and its advisors, or on your or its behalf, relating to the Transaction (including the Projections (as hereinafter defined) for each quarter for the first fiscal year following the Closing Date and for each year
commencing with the first fiscal year following the Closing Date for the term of the Facilities), (b) your preparation of an information memorandum with respect to each of the Facilities for both Public Lenders and Private Lenders, in each case
in form and substance customary for transactions of this type (each, an “Information Memorandum”) and other materials to be used in connection with the syndication of each Facility, (c) your using your commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts of the Lead Arranger benefit materially from your existing lending relationships and the existing lending relationships of the Acquired Business, (d) your using commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain monitored public corporate credit or family ratings of Holdings after giving effect to the Transaction and ratings of the Facilities from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and
Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) (collectively, the “Ratings”) and (e) your otherwise using your commercially reasonable efforts to assist
the Lead Arranger in its syndication efforts, including by making your officers and advisors, and using your commercially reasonable efforts to make the officers and advisors of the Acquired Business, available from time to time to attend and make
presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Companies and the Transaction at one or more meetings of prospective Lenders. 
 It is understood and agreed that the Lead Arranger will manage and control, with your consent, the syndication of each Facility, including decisions as to the selection of prospective Lenders and any
titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of commitments among the Lenders. It is understood that no Lender participating in any Facility will receive

  
 -3-

 
compensation from you in order to obtain its commitment, except on the terms contained herein and in the Summary of Terms. It is also understood and agreed that the amount and distribution of the
fees among the Lenders will be at your discretion. 
 None of the Companies shall syndicate or issue, attempt to syndicate or
issue, announce or authorize the announcement of the syndication or issuance of, any debt of the Companies (other than the Facilities), including any renewals or refinancings of any existing debt, that would materially and adversely affect the
syndication of the Facilities without the prior written consent of the Lead Arranger. 
 3. Information Requirements. You
hereby represent, warrant and covenant that (to your knowledge with respect to the Acquired Business), (a) all written information, other than Projections (as defined below), that has been or is hereafter made available to the Lead Arranger or
any of the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives or by or on behalf of the Acquired Business or any of its representatives in connection with any aspect of the Transaction, taken as a whole (the
“Information”), is, or will be when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not and will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) all financial projections concerning the Companies that have been or are hereafter made available to the
Lead Arranger or any of the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives or by or on behalf of the Acquired Business or its representatives (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith
based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made; it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such
Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material. You agree that if at any time prior to the Closing Date and, thereafter, until the earlier to occur of (i) a Successful Syndication (but not
earlier than the Closing Date) and (i) 90 days following the Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being
furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects at such time. In
issuing this commitment and in arranging and syndicating each of the Facilities, the Commitment Parties are and will be using and relying on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof. The Information and
Projections provided to the Lead Arranger prior to the date hereof are hereinafter referred to as the “Pre-Commitment Information”. 
 You acknowledge that (a) the Commitment Parties on your behalf will make available Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information, the Projections, the Summary
of Terms and any additional summary of terms prepared for distribution to Public Lenders (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Information Materials”) on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system and
(b) certain prospective Lenders (such Lenders, “Public Lenders”; all other Lenders, “Private Lenders”) may have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the
meaning of the United States federal securities laws with respect to the Companies, their respective affiliates or any other entity, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing “MNPI”), and who may be engaged in
investment and other market-related activities with respect to such entities’ securities. If reasonably requested by the Agent, you will assist us in preparing a customary additional version of the Information Materials not containing MNPI (the
“Public Information Materials”) to be distributed to prospective Public Lenders. 
 Before distribution
of any Information Materials (a) to prospective Private Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Information Materials, (b) to 

  
 -4-

 
prospective Public Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Public Information Materials and confirming the absence of MNPI therefrom and
(c) the Confidential Information Memorandum shall exculpate you, the Companies and us with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of the Confidential Information Memorandum or any related marketing material by the
recipients thereof. In addition, at our request, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify Public Information Materials by clearly and conspicuously marking the same as “PUBLIC”.

(any 

  
 -5-

 
of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such Proceeding is brought by you,
your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the Transaction is consummated. You also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any
liability to you, the Acquired Business or your or their subsidiaries or affiliates or to your or their respective equity holders or creditors for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, related to or in connection
with any aspect of the Transaction. You shall have no liability to an Indemnified Party for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, provided that the foregoing shall not limit your indemnification obligations set forth
above. It is further agreed that the Commitment Parties shall only have liability to you (as opposed to any other person), and that the Commitment Parties shall be liable solely in respect of their respective commitments to the Facilities, on a
several, and not joint, basis with any other Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained
through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for direct, actual damages resulting from (i) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (ii) a material
breach of this Commitment Letter by such Indemnified Party, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such
settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault, culpability, wrong
doing or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

 ANNEX I 
 SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
 CREDIT FACILITIES 

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings as specified therefor in the Commitment Letter to which this Annex
I is attached. 
  

			
	Borrowers:	  	Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (“Holdings”) and, following consummation of the Merger and the termination of the Voting Trust, the company previously identified
to us as Mackerel (the “Acquired Business” and, together with Holdings, the “US Borrowers”), as US Borrowers, Quebec Gatineau Railway Inc. (the “Canadian Borrower”), as Canadian
Borrower, Genesee & Wyoming Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 079 444 296) (the “Australian Borrower”), as Australian Borrower and Rotterdam Rail Feeding B.V. (the “European Borrower”), as European Borrower
(the Canadian Borrower, the Australian Borrower and the European Borrower collectively, the “Foreign Borrowers”) (the US Borrowers and Foreign Borrowers collectively, the “Borrowers”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Acquisition shall close into the Voting Trust, the Borrowers shall not include the Acquired Business or its subsidiaries until the shares of the Acquired Business are released from the Voting Trust to Holdings pursuant to the
terms of the Voting Trust Agreement.
		
	Guarantors:	  	All the obligations of the US Borrowers under the Facilities and under any treasury management, interest protection or other hedging arrangements (“Hedging/Cash

each existing and future direct and indirect domestic material restricted subsidiary of Holdings, other than any such subsidiary that (a) is a subsidiary of a non-U.S. subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the
meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code (a “CFC”) or (b) is a corporation or a flow-through entity (i.e., a partnership or a disregarded entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and has no material assets

Foreign Guarantor to the extent (A) the guarantee of the US Obligations or the Foreign Obligations, as applicable, (i) would result in any material adverse tax or legal consequences to Holdings or any of its subsidiaries as reasonably determined by
Holdings or (ii) would result

  
 Annex I-1

			
		  	in a violation of a contractual obligation existing on the Closing Date or (B) Holdings and the Administrative Agent reasonably agree in writing that the cost of providing such a
guarantee is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Acquisition shall close into the Voting Trust, the Guarantors shall not include the Acquired Business or its subsidiaries until the shares of the
Acquired Business are released from the Voting Trust to Holdings pursuant to the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement.

 Annex I-3

			
		  	Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate loans under the Revolving Credit Facility.
		
		  	Holdings may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months (and, if agreed to by all relevant Lenders, nine or twelve months) for LIBOR advances. Interest shall be
payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.
		
		  	“LIBOR” and “Base Rate” will have meanings customary and appropriate for financings of this type and giving effect to the currency of
the applicable Facility; provided that, in the case of the Term B Facility, LIBOR will be deemed to be not less than 1.00% per annum and Base Rate will be deemed to be not less than 100 basis points higher than one-month

to such loan and (ii) on any other outstanding overdue amount at a rate of 200 basis points in excess of the non-default interest rate then applicable to Base Rate loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, and will be payable on
demand.
		
	Duration Fee:	  	Commencing on December 31, 2013 and on each date that is three months thereafter, in each case, if shares constituting all or substantially all of the Acquired Business are not

outstanding on such date shall be payable on such date. The Duration Fee Percentage means (a) on December 31, 2013, 0.50%, (b) on March 31, 2014, 1.00%, (c) on June 30, 2014, 1.50% and (d) on September 30, 2014 and each date that is three months

Facility, such fee to be payable quarterly in arrears and on the date of termination or expiration of the commitments. The commitment fee rate shall be subject to adjustment after the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date based on a
pricing grid to be agreed. Swingline Loans will not be considered utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of this calculation.
		
	Calculation of Interest and Fees:	  	Other than calculations in respect of interest at the Base Rate (which shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 365/366 day year), all calculations of

 Annex I-4

			
		  	connection with prepayments, changes in capital adequacy and capital requirements or their interpretation, illegality, unavailability, reserves without proration or offset and
provisions protecting the Lenders from certain withholding or other taxes in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holdings and the Administrative Agent (it being understood that, for purposes of determining increased costs arising in
connection with a change in law, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated under or issued in connection with, either of the foregoing shall be deemed
to have been introduced or adopted after the date of the Credit Documentation, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued); provided that there will be customary exceptions to the gross-up obligations for withholding and other taxes,
including, in the case of the US Obligations, taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder or other official administrative guidance issued pursuant thereto. In the case of
the U.S. Obligations, there will be an exception to the gross-up for “day-one” U.S. federal withholding taxes. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to address any non-U.S. withholding taxes with respect to Non-U.S. Obligations in the
Credit Documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holdings and the Administrative Agent.
		
	Letter of Credit Fees:	  	Letter of Credit fees equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time on LIBOR advances under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis will be payable quarterly in
arrears and shared proportionately by the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum will be payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account, as well as customary issuance and documentary fees. Both
the Letter of Credit fees and the fronting fees will be calculated on the amount available to be drawn under each outstanding Letter of Credit.

	Incremental Facilities:	  	The Credit Documentation will permit the Borrowers to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Credit Facilities (each, an “Incremental Term
Facility”, any loans pursuant thereto, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”;
the Incremental Term Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Facilities

  
 Annex I-5

			
		  	are collectively referred to as “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, plus an additional amount subject to compliance on a
pro forma basis (assuming full utilization of any Incremental Revolving Facility) with a Total Leverage Ratio (to be defined) of not more than 3.00:1.00; provided that the aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities that are comprised of Term
A Loans shall not exceed $500 million in the aggregate; provided further that (i) no Lender will be required to participate in any such Incremental Facility, (ii) no event of default or default exists or would exist after giving
effect thereto, (iii) the representations and warranties in the Credit Documentation shall be true and correct in all material respects, (iv) on a pro forma basis on the date of incurrence and after giving effect thereto (assuming, in the case
of an Incremental Revolving Facility, the full drawing thereunder), all financial covenants would be satisfied, (v) (A) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Facility comprised of Term B Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date
for the Term B Facility or (B) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Facility comprised of Term A Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date for the Term A Facility, (vi) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental
Term Facility shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of (x) in the case of Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans, the earliest maturing tranche of loans under the Term B Facility or (y) in the case of Incremental Term
Loans which are Term A Loans, the earliest maturing tranche of loans under the Term A Facility, (vii) the interest margins for the Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the lenders of the Incremental Term
Facility; provided that in the event that the interest margins for any Incremental Term Facility secured on a pari passu basis with the existing Term Loan Facilities are greater than the Applicable Margins for the Term B Facility by more than
50 basis points, then the Applicable Margins for the Term B Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the interest margins for the Incremental Term Facility are not more than 50 basis points higher than the Applicable Margins for
the Term B Facility, and the Applicable Margins for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Facility shall be increased by a like amount; provided, further, that in determining the interest margins applicable to the Term B
Facility and the Applicable Margins for the Incremental Term Facility, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrowers for the account of
the Lenders of the Term B Facility or the Incremental Term Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement or commitment
fees payable to the Lead Arranger (or its affiliates) in connection with the Term B Facility or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the Incremental Term Facility shall be excluded, and (z) if the LIBOR or Base Rate floor for the
Incremental Term Facility is greater than the LIBOR or Base Rate floor, respectively, for the existing Term B Facility, the difference between such floor for the Incremental Term Facility and the existing Term B Facility shall be equated to an
increase

hereinafter defined) securing the Facilities in each case on terms and pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except as expressly provided above) and (ix) any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on
terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility and any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined, provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are
not consistent with the Term A Facility (in the case of Incremental Term Loans which are Term A Loans) or the Term B Facility (in the case of Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans) (except to the extent permitted by clause (v), (vi) or (vii)
above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Holdings will be entitled to seek commitments in respect of any Incremental Facility from existing Lenders or from additional banks, financial institutions and other
institutional lenders reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent who will become Lenders in connection therewith.
		
		  	The Credit Documentation will permit the Borrowers to utilize availability under the Incremental Term Facilities to issue first or junior lien secured notes or junior lien loans (in
each case, subject to customary intercreditor terms to be mutually agreed and set forth in an exhibit to the definitive documentation for the Facilities (the “Intercreditor Terms”)), with the amount of such secured notes or
loans reducing the aggregate principal amount available for the Incremental Term Facilities; provided that (i) such secured notes or loans (x) do not mature on or prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life than,
the Term A Loans or Term B Loans, as applicable and (y) have covenants no more restrictive (taken as a whole) than those under the Facilities as determined in good faith by Holdings and (ii) any such secured notes or loans shall be subject to
an intercreditor agreement consistent with the Intercreditor Terms.

loans or commitments under any Incremental Facility from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more new term facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or new revolving credit facilities (each, a
“Refinancing Revolving Facility”; the Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to herein as “Refinancing Facilities”), respectively, under the
Credit Documentation with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the institutions providing such Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility or with one or more additional series of senior unsecured notes or loans
or senior secured notes that will be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Facilities or secured notes or loans that will be secured on a subordinated basis to the Facilities or any applicable senior secured notes, which
will be subject to a customary intercreditor agreement reasonably acceptable to

  
 Annex I-7

							
		  	the Administrative Agent and Holdings (any such notes or loans, “Refinancing Notes” and together with the Refinancing Facilities, the
“Refinancing Indebtedness”); provided that (i) any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Notes do not mature prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life than, or, with respect to notes,
have mandatory prepayment provisions (other than related to customary asset sale and change of control offers) that could result in prepayments of such Refinancing Notes prior to, loans under the Term A Facility or Term B Facility, as applicable,
being refinanced, (ii) any Refinancing Revolving Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of the revolving commitments being refinanced, (iii) there shall be no borrowers or guarantors in respect of any Refinancing Indebtedness that are

Refinancing Notes prior to the refinanced debt, (v) the other terms and conditions of such Refinancing Indebtedness (excluding pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, fees and prepayment or redemption provisions) are not materially
more favorable (when taken as a whole) to the lenders or investors providing such Refinancing Indebtedness, as applicable, than the terms of the Facility being refinanced (when taken as a whole) are to the applicable Lenders and (vi) the proceeds of
such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes are immediately applied to permanently prepay (or, in the case of the Refinancing Revolving Facility, replace) in whole or in part the Term A Facility, Term B Facility or Revolving Facility (as
applicable) being replaced and shall not be in an aggregate principal amount greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Term A Facility, Term B Facility or Revolving Facility (as applicable) being refinanced plus any fees, premiums and
accrued interest associated therewith, and costs and expenses related thereto

its subsidiaries as reasonably determined by Holdings, (ii), those assets to the extent that granting securing interest in such assets would result in a violation of a contractual obligation in effect on the Closing Date and (iii) those assets to

Uniform Commercial Code (or any successor provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law or principles of equity) or (y) to the extent and for so long as the grant of a security interest in such property or asset is prohibited
by any applicable law, requires a consent pursuant to any applicable contract or lease or requires a consent not obtained of any governmental authority pursuant to any applicable law, statute or regulation.

failure of any representation or warranty (other than the Specified Representations and the Acquisition Agreement Representations) to be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein)

terms are not expressly set forth in this Annex I, will be negotiated in good faith within a reasonable time period to be determined based on the expected Closing Date taking into account the timing of the syndication of the Facilities and shall
contain such other terms as Holdings and the Lead Arranger shall reasonably agree; it being understood and agreed that the Credit Documentation shall be initially based on that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 29,

 Annex II-2

 Exhibit A to Annex II 
 Form of Solvency Certificate 
 Date:
            , 2012 
 To the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party to
the Credit Agreement referred to below: 
 I, the undersigned, a senior authorized financial officer of
            , a                           (the
“Holdings”), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and
disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such fact and circumstances after the date hereof), that: 
 1. This certificate
is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section      of the Credit Agreement, dated as of                 
            , 2012, among                      (the “Credit
Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 2. For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions: 
 (a) “Fair Value” 
 The amount at which the assets (both tangible and
intangible), in their entirety, of Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer(s) and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant
facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act. 
 (b) “Present Fair Salable Value” 

The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer (with neither being under any
compulsion to act) if the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole as a going concern are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises
insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated. 
 (c) “Stated Liabilities” 

The recorded liabilities (including contingent or subordinated liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. 

(d) “Identified Contingent Liabilities” 
 The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after giving effect to the Transactions (including all fees and expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent also reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and
explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of Holdings. 

 (e) “Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities
as they mature” 
 For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of Identified Contingent Liabilities) otherwise become due and payable, in
light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity. 

(f) “Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital” 
 For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the Transactions is and will be a going concern and has and will have
sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period. I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be
conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the
anticipated credit capacity. 
 3. For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of Holdings under my direction and
supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below. 
 (a) I have reviewed the
financial statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in Section      of the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement and made such other investigations and inquiries as I deem necessary and reasonable in connection with the matters set
forth herein. 
 (c) As a senior authorized financial officer of Holdings, I am familiar with the financial condition of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries. 
 4. Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of Holdings that after
giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, I certify that (i) the Fair Value of the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities, (ii) the
Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (iii) Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably
Small Capital; and (iv) Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature. 
 * * * 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Holdings has caused this certificate to be executed on
its behalf by Senior Authorized Financial Officer as of the date first written above.

 ANNEX III 
 VOTING TRUST AGREEMENT 
 THIS VOTING TRUST AGREEMENT (this “Voting
Trust” or “Agreement”) is made and entered into this      day of                 , 2012, by and between Genesee &
Wyoming Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Settlor”), and                      (the “Trustee”), whose address is
                                         
                   . This Voting Trust is being entered into pursuant to the Guidelines for the Proper Use of Voting Trusts as set forth in 49 C.F.R. Part
1013. 
 WHEREAS, Settlor is a railroad holding company that directly or indirectly controls the common carriers by rail listed
in the appendix hereto; 
 WHEREAS, Settlor plans to acquire 100% of the equity of TARGET, a
             railroad holding corporation (“TARGET”); 
 WHEREAS, Settlor has filed with the Surface Transportation Board (the “Board”) in STB Docket No. FD [            ], a minor
application pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 1180 to control TARGET together with the other railroads in its corporate family; 

WHEREAS, Settlor desires to isolate the control of TARGET from Settlor and any company controlled by or affiliated with Settlor by
depositing all shares of TARGET into an independent irrevocable voting trust pursuant to the Board’s regulations at 49 C.F.R. Part 1013, in order to avoid any allegation or assertion that Settlor is controlling or has the power to control
TARGET prior to the effectiveness of a Board exemption for Settlor’s acquisition of control of TARGET; and 
 WHEREAS, the
Trustee is willing to act as voting trustee pursuant to the terms of this Voting Trust. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and mutual undertakings set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Settlor hereby irrevocably appoints
                                         as
Trustee hereunder, and
                                         hereby
accepts said appointment and agrees to act as Trustee under this Voting Trust as provided herein. 

  

	2.	This Voting Trust shall be irrevocable by Settlor and shall terminate only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

 

	3.	This Voting Trust shall become effective as of                 , 2012 (the
“Effective Time”). 

  

	4.	At the Effective Time, Settlor agrees that it will assign, transfer and deliver all of its right, title and interest in the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of TARGET to the Trustee immediately upon acquiring such shares. All certificates representing such shares shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments duly executed for transfer thereof to the Trustee or otherwise validly and
properly transferred, with all applicable transfer taxes and fees having been paid by Settlor, in exchange for Trust Certificates (as described in Paragraph 5 hereof). The delivery of certificates of such shares may be made at such other place as
may be designated by the Trustee. All shares of TARGET deposited with the Trustee hereunder are hereinafter referred to as the “Trust Stock.” 

	5.	The Trustee shall hold in trust and shall dispose of, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Voting Trust, all Trust Stock which is delivered by or for the
account of Settlor. In exchange for the Trust Stock, the Trustee shall cause to be issued and delivered to Settlor voting trust certificates (“Trust Certificates”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with
the blanks therein appropriately filled. 

  

	6.	The Trust Certificates issued by the Trustee may be transferable on the books of the Trustee by the registered holder or holders of the Trust Certificates (each, a
“Holder” and together, the “Holders”) upon the surrender thereof, properly endorsed by the Holder, in person or by an authorized attorney of the Holder, according to rules from time to time established for that
purpose by the Trustee. Title to the Trust Certificates, when endorsed, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be transferable with the same effect as in the case of negotiable instruments. Delivery of the Trust Certificates, endorsed in blank by a
Holder, shall vest title to and all rights under the Trust Certificates in the transferee thereof to the same extent and for all purposes as would delivery under like circumstances of negotiable instruments payable to bearer; provided, however,
that the Trustee may treat the Holder of record, or, when presented endorsed in blank, the bearers, as the owners for all purposes whatsoever, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided further, however, that the
Trustee shall not be required to deliver any Trust Stock without the surrender and cancellation of the corresponding Trust Certificate(s). Except to the extent provided otherwise in Paragraph 13 hereof, every transferee of a Trust Certificate shall,
upon the receipt of such properly endorsed Trust Certificate, become a party to this Voting Trust as though an original party, and shall assume all attendant rights and obligations under this Voting Trust. In connection with, and as a condition of,
making or permitting any transfer or delivery of any Trust Stock or Trust Certificate under any provision of this Voting Trust, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay or reimburse the Trustee for any stamp tax or other
governmental charge in connection with the transaction. 

  

	7.	From the Effective Time, and until such time as this Voting Trust shall terminate in accordance with the provisions in this Agreement, the Trustee, subject to the
limitations contained in this Agreement, shall be present in person or represented by proxy, at all annual and special meetings of shareholders of TARGET so that all Trust Stock may be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum
at such meeting. The Trustee shall have the full right to vote and to execute consents with respect to the Trust Stock, and shall be duly bound to exercise such voting rights, either in person or by proxy, at all meetings of the shareholders of
TARGET for any purpose, and shall possess in respect of any and all the Trust Stock, and shall be entitled to exercise, all the powers of absolute owners of the Trust Stock and all rights of every nature in respect of such Trust Stock, including the
right to vote and to execute consents for every purpose and to receive distributions thereon, unless otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee shall not participate in or interfere with the management of TARGET except to
the extent necessary by order of the Board and shall not exercise the voting powers of the Trust in any way so as to cause any dependence or intercorporate relationship between Settlor or companies controlled by or affiliated with Settlor (not
including TARGET), on the one hand, and TARGET or companies controlled by or affiliated with TARGET, on the other hand, other than such dealings as permitted pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof. The Trustee shall exercise all voting rights in respect of
the Trust Stock in favor of any proposal or action necessary or desirable to effect, or consistent with the effectuation of, Settlor’s acquisition of control of TARGET. (The term “affiliate” or “affiliates” wherever used in
this Voting Trust shall have the meaning specified in 49 U.S.C. § 11323(c)). The Trustee may not vote the Trust Stock for any transaction that would result in a violation of 49 U.S.C. § 11323. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Paragraph 7, the Trustee may not, without the consent of the Holder(s), vote with respect to the following: 

  

	 	(a)	the sale, lease, assignment, transfer, alienation, pledge, encumbrance, or exchange of all or substantially all of the property or major assets or of the capital stock
of TARGET to any company other than a company controlled by or affiliated with Settlor, whether voluntarily or by operation of law or by gift, or the dissolution of TARGET; or 

  
 E-I-2

	 	(b)	the consolidation or merger of TARGET with or into any other entity other than a company controlled by or affiliated with Settlor. 

In the case of any such sale, lease, assignment, transfer, alienation, pledge, encumbrance, exchange, dissolution, consolidation or merger
so made with the consent of the Holder(s), the Trustee shall have the power to sell, exchange, surrender or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the ownership interest of TARGET at the time held in trust, pursuant to the terms of or in order to
carry into effect such sale, lease, assignment, transfer, alienation, pledge, encumbrance, exchange, dissolution, consolidation or merger`. Subject to the provisions, and until termination, of this Voting Trust, the Trustee may vote or consent, or
issue proxies to vote or consent at shareholders’ meetings of TARGET and otherwise, as the Trustee shall determine in his uncontrolled discretion, and no voting or other right or power with respect to the Trust Stock and other securities held
in trust shall pass to any Holder or to others by or under the Trust Certificates, or by or under this Voting Trust, or by or under any other agreement. 
  

	8.	Trustee shall not, without the prior approval of the Board, vote the Trust Stock to elect any current officer or director of Settlor, or any of its affiliates, as a
director of TARGET. Neither the Trustee, nor the director, officer, or shareholder of any company controlled by or affiliated with the Trustee, may serve as an officer or member of the board of directors of Settlor or any company controlled by or
affiliated with Settlor, or be a shareholder of Settlor or any company controlled by or affiliated with Settlor, or have any direct or indirect business arrangements or dealings, financial or otherwise, with Settlor or any company controlled by or
affiliated with Settlor (other than this Voting Trust), that could be construed as creating an indicium of control by Settlor over the Trustee. [The investment by the Trustee in voting securities of Settlor not in excess of one percent of its
outstanding voting securities shall not be considered a proscribed business arrangement or dealing; provided that such investment does not permit Trustee to control or direct the affairs of Settlor.] The Trustee has the
responsibility to manage TARGET through casting his votes for TARGET’s Board of Directors and to exercise the voting rights and execute consents as provided in Paragraph 7 hereof. The Trustee’s duties are therefore not merely custodial in
nature. Nothing in this Voting Trust shall restrict the ability of any company controlled by or affiliated with Settlor to enter into or continue commercial dealings with TARGET in the ordinary course of business, based on arm’s-length
bargaining, during the term of this Voting Trust, including without limitation the leasing by TARGET of rolling stock or other equipment or assets or services from any company controlled by or affiliated with Settlor. Nothing in this Voting Trust
shall preclude TARGET from providing such documents and information as Settlor may reasonably request in connection with presenting its position regarding control of TARGET to the Board or a court of competent jurisdiction. 

 

	9.	In voting or giving directions for voting the Trust Stock, the Trustee, in his sole discretion, will exercise his best judgment to elect suitable directors in the best
interest of the affairs of TARGET. The Trustee, however, assumes no responsibility with respect to acts or omissions of the directors of TARGET (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee himself). 

  
 E-I-3

	10.	The Trustee shall be entitled to receive reasonable and customary compensation for all services rendered by Trustee under the terms of this Agreement and shall be
entitled to indemnity from Settlor against any and all expenses, claims and liabilities incurred in connection with or with respect to the performance of Trustee’s duties under this Voting Trust; provided, that the indemnification of the
Trustee by Settlor shall not extend to expenses, claims or liabilities resulting from or in connection with the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. The Trustee shall submit to Settlor quarterly invoices for services with
appropriate documentation, and Settlor shall pay such statements within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. 

  

	11.	From and after the deposit of the Trust Stock with Trustee, and until the termination of this Voting Trust pursuant to the terms hereof, a Holder shall be entitled to
receive, from time to time, payment of any cash distributions collected by the Trustee upon the ownership interests in TARGET represented by the Trust Certificates. Immediately following receipt of any such cash distribution, the Trustee shall pay
the same over to or as otherwise directed by the transferee or registered Holder(s) of the Trust Certificates in proportion to their respective interests. 

  

	12.	In the event that any distribution other than cash is received by the Trustee, such distribution shall be held by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this
Voting Trust as though it is Trust Stock that was initially deposited with the Trustee by Settlor under this Voting Trust. With respect to such distribution, the Trustee shall issue new or additional Trust Certificates to the Holders entitled to
receive any such distribution. 

  

					
	13.	  	(a)	  	This Voting Trust is accepted by Trustee subject to the rights hereby reserved to the Holder(s) at any time to sell or make any other disposition, in whole or in part, of its Trust
Stock, whether or not an event described in subparagraph (b) below has occurred. The Trustee will at any time upon receipt of written instructions from a Holder, designating the person or entity to whom the Holder has sold or otherwise disposed
of the whole or any part of such Holder’s Trust Stock, and certifying in writing that such person or entity is not a shareholder, officer or director of Settlor, or a company controlled by or affiliated with Settlor, or a shareholder, officer
or director of a company controlled by or affiliated with Settlor (upon which written certification the Trustee shall be entitled to rely), immediately transfer to such person or entity therein named all of the Trustee’s right, title and
interest in such amount of the Trust Stock as may be set forth in such instructions and shall cooperate with such person or entity in having such Trust Stock reissued in the name of such person or entity. If such instructions result in the transfer
of all of the Trust Stock subject to this Voting Trust as of the date of such instructions, then upon transfer of the Trustee’s right, title and interest therein, and in the event of a sale thereof, upon delivery of the proceeds of such sale,
this Voting Trust shall cease and come to an end. If such instructions relate to only a part of the Trust Stock, then this Voting Trust shall cease as to such part upon such transfer, and the receipt of proceeds in the event of sale, but shall
remain in full force and effect as to the remainder of the Trust Stock. In the event of a sale of Trust Stock by a Holder, the net proceeds of such sale shall be made payable to the Trustee and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall promptly pay or
cause to be paid such net proceeds to that Holder in proportion to their respective interests. It is the intention of this subparagraph that no violations of 49 U.S.C. § 11323 will result from a termination of this Voting
Trust.
			
		  	(b)	  	In the event that (i) Title 49 of the United States Code or other controlling law is amended to allow Settlor to acquire control of TARGET without obtaining Board or other
governmental approval or exemption, (ii) a verified notice of exemption filed at the

  
 E-I-4

					
		  		  	Board by Settlor to control TARGET becomes effective or (iii) the Board by final order otherwise approves or exempts the control of TARGET by Settlor, then immediately upon the
delivery of a copy of such order of the Board or effective exemption with respect thereto, or an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Trustee that no order of the Board or other governmental authority or exemption is required, the Trustee
shall transfer to the Holder(s) or transfer upon the order of the Holder(s) as then known to the Trustee, Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Trust Stock or such part as may then be held by Trustee (as provided in
subparagraph (a) hereof), and upon such transfer this Voting Trust shall cease and come to an end.
			
		  	(c)	  	In the event that (i) the Board or a court of competent jurisdiction denies Settlor authority to control TARGET and that order becomes final after judicial review or failure to
appeal, (ii) the Board or a court of competent jurisdiction orders the Trustee to divest himself of the Trust Stock, and that order becomes final after judicial review or failure to appeal, or (iii) the Holder(s) determine in light of any
other final order that the Trust Stock should be sold, the Trustee shall use best efforts to dispose of the Trust Stock under the terms of the Board or court order and in accordance with any instructions of Holder(s) not inconsistent with the
requirement of the terms of any Board or court order during a period of [two] years after such order becomes final. To the extent that registration is required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable securities
laws in respect of any distribution of Trust Stock as contemplated in this Agreement, the Holder(s) shall reimburse the Trustee for any expenses incurred by Trustee. The proceeds of the sale shall be distributed, on a pro rata basis, to or upon the
order of the Holder(s) hereunder as then known to the Trustee. The Trustee may, in his reasonable discretion, require the surrender to Trustee of the Trust Certificates hereunder before paying to the Holder such Holder’s share of the proceeds.
Upon disposition of all the Trust Stock pursuant to this Section 13(d), this Trust shall cease and come to an end.
			
		  	(d)	  	Unless sooner terminated pursuant to any other provision herein contained, this Voting Trust shall terminate one (1) year after the day and year first written above, so long as
no violation of 49 U.S.C. § 11323 will result from such termination, and provided that this Voting Trust may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties hereto pursuant to applicable state law, until such time as the ICC Termination Act of
1995 and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Board as presently in effect shall no longer require that the Trust Stock be held in a voting trust. All Trust Stock and any other property held by the Trustee hereunder upon such termination
shall be distributed to or upon the order of the Holder(s) hereunder as then known to the Trustee. The Trustee may, in his reasonable discretion, require surrender to the Trustee of the Trust Certificates hereunder before the release or transfer of
the Trust Stock evidenced thereby. Upon termination of this Voting Trust, the Holder(s)’ respective rights, titles and interests in and to the Trust Stock then held by the Trustee shall be transferred to such Holder(s) in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Voting Trust and upon such transfer, this Voting Trust shall cease and come to an end.
			
		  	(e)	  	The Trustee shall promptly inform the Board of any transfer or disposition of the Trust Stock pursuant to this Paragraph 13.
			
		  	(f)	  	Except as expressly provided in this Paragraph 13, the Trustee shall not dispose of, or in any way encumber, the Trust Stock, and any transfer, sale or encumbrance in violation of
the foregoing shall be null and void.

	14.	The Trustee shall not, by reason of this Voting Trust, or by the exercise of any powers or duties pursuant to this Voting Trust, incur any responsibility as
shareholder, manager, trustee or otherwise by reason of any error of judgment, or mistake of law or fact, or of any omission of any agent or attorney, or of any misconstruction of this Voting Trust, or for any action of any sort taken or omitted or
believed by the Trustee to be in accordance with the terms of this Voting Trust or otherwise, except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form,
execution, validity or genuineness of the Trust Stock or of any endorsement thereof, or for any lack of endorsement thereof, or for any description therein, nor shall the Trustee be responsible or liable in any respect on account of the identity,
authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any such Trust Stock or endorsement of the Trust Stock, except for the execution and delivery of this Voting Trust by the Trustee. Settlor agrees that it
will at all times protect, indemnify and save harmless the Trustee from any loss, cost, or expense of any kind or character whatsoever in connection with this Voting Trust except those, if any, arising from or in connection with the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Trustee, and, except for such costs and expenses arising from or in connection with the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, (i) Settlor will at all times undertake, assume full responsibility for,
and pay all costs and expenses of any suit or litigation of any character, with respect to the Trust Stock or this Voting Trust, and (ii) if the Trustee shall be made a party thereto, Settlor will pay all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, to which the Trustee may be subject by reason thereof. The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall constitute full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken or omitted or suffered by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, and without limiting the foregoing, Settlor shall indemnify and save harmless Trustee from
and against any and all liability, losses and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with claims asserted against TARGET or Settlor, or related to the ownership or operation of
TARGET’s properties, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. § 5105 et seq.), the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq.), the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.), the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (l5
U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.), each as may be amended from time to time, and analogous state or local laws (and regulations and orders issued thereunder); provided, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such liability,
loss or expense arises out of or in connection with the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee. 

  

	15.	The Trustee may at any time or from time to time appoint an agent or agents and may delegate to such agent or agents the performance of any administrative duty of the
Trustee. The Trustee may at any time remove any agent so appointed by the Trustee and appoint a new agent to carry out the purposes herein. 

  

	16.	 The Trustee or any trustee hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by delivering to Settlor and the Board his resignation in writing, such
resignation to take effect the earlier of thirty (30) days after the date that such notice is sent, or the date of the appointment of a successor trustee. The Trustee shall cease to act as Trustee hereunder effective upon the appointment of a
successor trustee as hereinafter provided. Upon receiving notice of resignation, Settlor shall within fifteen (15) days appoint a successor trustee, who shall satisfy the requirements of Paragraph 8 hereof. If no successor trustee shall have
been appointed and shall have accepted the appointment within twenty (20) days after such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any federal court for the appointment of a successor trustee consistent with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. In the event of the Trustee’s death or his inability to perform his duties under this 

  
 E-I-6

	 	
Agreement, Settlor shall, within fifteen (15) days after such death or inability to perform, appoint a successor trustee who shall satisfy the requirements of Paragraph 8 hereof. Upon
written assumption by the successor trustee of the Trustee’s powers and duties hereunder, Settlor shall be notified of such assumption, whereupon the Trustee shall be discharged of his powers and duties hereunder and the successor trustee shall
become vested therewith. In the event of any material violation of the terms and conditions of this Voting Trust by the Trustee, the Trustee shall become disqualified from acting as Trustee hereunder as soon as a successor trustee hereunder shall
have been selected in the manner provided by this paragraph. 

  

	17.	Except as provided in this Agreement, the Trustee herein appointed, or any successor trustee, shall not, in the Trustee’s individual capacity or otherwise, buy,
sell or deal in the shares of TARGET, or the shares or membership or partnership interests, as applicable, of any company affiliated with or controlled by Settlor. 

 

	18.	The Trustee accepts the powers and duties under this Voting Trust subject to all the terms, conditions and reservations contained in this Agreement and agrees to
exercise the powers and perform the duties of Trustee as set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from resigning as Trustee pursuant to Paragraph 16 hereof.

  

	19.	All notices, demands, requests or other communications that may be or are required to be given, served or sent to the Trustee or Settlor pursuant to this Voting Trust
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or sent by mailing by registered or certified mail, return receipt required, or by a national overnight delivery service, appropriately addressed to the Trustee or Settlor, as
applicable, as follows: 

  

			
	If to the Trustee:	  	
		
	  
	  	
	  
	  	
	  
	  	
		
	If to Settlor:	  	
		
	 Genesee & Wyoming Inc.
	  	
	 66 Field Point Road
	  	
	Greenwich, CT 06830	  	
	Attn: General Counsel	  	

 Each notice, demand, request or communication which shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, or
sent by national overnight delivery service, in the manner aforesaid shall be deemed sufficiently given, served or sent for all purposes at the time such notice, demand, request or communication shall be either received by the addressee or refused
by the addressee upon presentation. Upon Trustee’s receipt of a notice to a Holder other than Settlor, or in the event the Trustee is required to send notice to a Holder other than Settlor, the Trustee shall forward or send such notice to the
Holder of record at the last known address of such Holder listed on the books maintained by the Trustee. 
  

	20.	Copies of this Voting Trust shall be on file in the office of the Trustee and shall be open to any officer of Settlor or any other Holder daily during normal business
hours. 

  
 E-I-7

	21.	In order to permit Trustee to perform the duties and obligations of this Voting Trust, Settlor shall provide Trustee with all corporate records and Board orders
concerning the Trust Stock promptly upon Settlor’s receipt or creation of such documents. 

  

	22.	If, at any time, the Trustee is of the opinion that any tax or governmental charge is payable with respect to any Trust Stock held by the Trustee or in respect of any
distributions or other rights arising from the subject matter of this Voting Trust, the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, pay such tax or governmental charge. The Trustee shall have a first lien, in the sum of any amount so paid, along with
interest at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum, against the Trust Stock held by the Trustee and/or against any distributions or other rights arising from the subject matter of this Voting Trust, and may be satisfied therefrom.

  

	23.	If any term or provision of this Voting Trust is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under or inconsistent with present or future law, including, but not limited to, the
ICC Termination Act of 1995 and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Board, as may be in effect at that time, then it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Voting Trust shall not be affected thereby and shall be
valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event that the Board shall at any time hereafter by final order find that compliance with law requires any other or different action by the Trustee than is provided herein,
the Trustee shall, upon receipt of such final order, act in accordance with such final order instead of the provisions of this Voting Trust. 

  

	24.	This Voting Trust may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same
instrument. 

  

	25.	This Voting Trust shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 

 

	26.	This Voting Trust may from time to time be modified or amended by agreement executed by the Trustee and Settlor: 

 

	 	(a)	Pursuant to an order of the Board; 

  

	 	(b)	With prior approval of the Board; or 

  

	 	(c)	Upon receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Trustee and Settlor that an order of the Board approving such modification or amendment is not required and that
such modification or amendment is consistent with the Board’s regulations governing voting trusts as set forth in 49 C.F.R. Part 1013 or any successor provision. 

 

	27.	This Voting Trust shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 

 

	28.	Once Settlor has caused the Trust Stock to be deposited with the Trustee, all references to “Settlor” in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any
subsequent Holders. 

  

	29.	Settlor shall cause an executed copy of this Voting Trust to be filed with the Board in accordance with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. § 1013.3(b).

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Voting Trust as of the date first
written above.
