2.1 Election of Directors. 
 (a) Following the Closing Date, the Blackstone Group shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate to the Board a number of designees equal to at least: (i) a majority of the Total Number
of Directors, so long as the Blackstone Entities collectively beneficially own 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) 40% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the Blackstone Entities collectively beneficially
own 40% or more, but less than 50%, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iii) 30% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the Blackstone Entities collectively beneficially own 30% or more, but less than 40%, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iv) 20% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the Blackstone Entities collectively beneficially own 20% or more, but less than 30%, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (v) 10%
of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the Blackstone Entities collectively beneficially own 5% or more, but less than 20%, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of calculating the number of directors that the
Blackstone Group is entitled to designate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any fractional amounts shall automatically be rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g., one and one quarter (1 1/4) Directors shall equate to two (2) Directors) and any such calculations shall be made after taking into account any increase in the Total Number of Directors.

 (b) In the event that the Blackstone Group has nominated less than the total number of
designees the Blackstone Group shall be entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Blackstone Group shall have the right, at any time, to nominate such additional designees to which it is entitled, in which case, the Company and the
Directors shall take all necessary corporation action, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to (x) enable the Blackstone Group to nominate and effect the election or appointment of such additional individuals, whether by increasing the size
of the Board, or otherwise and (y) to designate such additional individuals nominated by the Blackstone Group to fill such newly-created vacancies or to fill any other existing vacancies. Each such person whom the Blackstone Group shall
actually nominate pursuant to this Section 2.1 and who is thereafter elected to the Board to serve as a Director shall be referred to herein as a “Blackstone Designee”. 

(c) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement or resignation of any Director designated
pursuant to this Section 2.1, the remaining Directors and the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled by a new designee of the Blackstone Group, if such Director was designated by
the Blackstone Group, as soon as possible, and the Company hereby agrees to take, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same. 

(d) The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board at any
meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors the persons designated pursuant to this Section 2.1 and to use its best efforts to cause the election of each such designee to the Board, including nominating each such
individual to be elected as a Director as provided herein, recommending such individual’s election and soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof.

generally accepted accounting principles. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, permit the Blackstone Entities and their respective designated representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company, to
review the books and records of the Company or any of such Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs, finances and condition of the Company or any of such Subsidiaries with the officers of the Company or any such Subsidiary; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any privileged information of the Company so long as the Company has used its best efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to the
Blackstone Entities without the loss of any such privilege. 
 3.2 Certain Reports. The Company shall deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Blackstone Entities, at their request: 
 (a) to the extent otherwise prepared by the Company, operating and
capital expenditure budgets and periodic information packages relating to the operations and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and 
 (b) such other reports and information as may be reasonably requested by the Blackstone Entities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any privileged
information of the Company so long as the Company has used its best efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to the Blackstone Entities without the loss of any such privilege. 

3.3 VCOC. With respect to each Blackstone Entity that is intended to qualify its direct or indirect investment in the Company as a
“venture capital investment” as defined in the Department of Labor regulations codified at 29 CFR Section 2510.3-101 (the “Plan Asset Regulation”) (each, a “VCOC Investor”), for so long as the VCOC
Investor, directly or through one or more subsidiaries, continues to hold any shares of Common Stock (or other securities of the company into which such shares of Common Stock may be converted or for which such shares of Common Stock may be
exchanged), without limitation or prejudice of any the rights provided to the Blackstone Entities hereunder, the Company shall, with respect to each such VCOC Investor: 
 (a) provide each VCOC Investor or its designated representative with: 
 (i) the right to visit and inspect any of the offices and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and inspect and copy the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, at such times as
the VCOC Investor shall reasonably request; 

  
 5 

 (ii) as soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of
each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such period, and consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its
Subsidiaries for the period then ended prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis, except as otherwise noted therein, and subject to the absence of footnotes and to
year-end adjustments; 
 (iii) as soon as available and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Company, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such year, and consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the year then ended prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis, except as otherwise noted therein, together with an auditor’s report thereon of a firm of established national reputation; 

(iv) to the extent the Company is required by law or pursuant to the terms of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company
to prepare such reports, any annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, actually prepared by the Company as soon as available; and 

(v) copies of all materials provided to the Board, subject to appropriate protections with respect to confidentiality and
preservation of attorney-client privilege; 
 provided, that, in each case, if the Company makes the information described in
clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this clause (a) available through public filings on the EDGAR System or any successor or replacement system of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the delivery of such information shall be
deemed satisfied; 
 (b) make appropriate officers and/or Directors of the Company available, and cause the officers and
directors of its Subsidiaries to be made available, periodically and at such times as reasonably requested by each VCOC Investor for consultation with such VCOC Investor or its designated representative with respect to matters relating to the
business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries; 
 (c) to the extent consistent with applicable law, rule, regulation
or listing standards (and with respect to events which require public disclosure, only following the Company’s public disclosure thereof through applicable securities law filings or otherwise), inform each VCOC Investor or its designated
representative in advance with respect to any significant corporate actions, and to provide (or cause to be provided) each VCOC Investor or its designated representative with the right to consult with the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to
such actions should the VCOC Investor elect to do so and provided that the Company shall be under no obligation to provide the VCOC Investor with any material non-public information with respect to such corporate action; and 

  
 6 

 (d) provide each VCOC Investor or its designated representative with such other rights of
consultation which the VCOC Investor’s counsel may determine to be reasonably necessary under applicable legal authorities promulgated after the date hereof to qualify its investment in the Company as a “venture capital investment”
for purposes of the United States Department of Labor Regulation published the Plan Asset Regulation. 
 The Company agrees to consider, in good
faith, the recommendations of each VCOC Investor or its designated representative in connection with the matters on which it is consulted as described above in this Section 3.3, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such
matters shall be retained by the Company. 
 In the event the VCOC Investor or any of its Affiliates transfers all or any portion of their
investment in the Company to an Affiliated entity that is intended to qualify as a “venture capital operating company” (as defined in the Plan Asset Regulation), such Transferee shall be afforded the same rights with respect to the Company
afforded to the VCOC Investor hereunder and shall be treated, for such purposes, as a third party beneficiary hereunder. 
 In the event that
the Company ceases to qualify as an “operating company” (as defined in the first sentence of 2510.3-101(c)(1) of the Plan Asset Regulation), or the investment in the Company by a VCOC Investor does not qualify as a “venture capital
investment” as defined in the Plan Asset Regulation, then the Company and each Blackstone Entity will cooperate in good faith to take all reasonable actions necessary, subject to applicable law, to preserve the VCOC status of each
VCOC Investor or the qualification of the investment as a “venture capital investment,” it being understood that such reasonable actions shall not require a VCOC Investor to purchase or sell any investments. 

ARTICLE IV.
