waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of any Party. Except as provided in Section 14.10(a), no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation
by or on behalf of any Party, or a failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof

GOVERNANCE 

SECTION 3.1. Board of Directors of the Company. 

(a) Board Representation. 

(i) Director Nominees. 

(A) MSD Nomination Rights. To the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of the Approved Exchange on which the
Company’s equity securities are traded or listed, the Company agrees that unless otherwise agreed to by the MSD Stockholders, (x) for so long as the MSD Stockholders collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to at least 47% of the MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 20% of all outstanding Common Stock), the CCGC (or the Board) shall nominate (i) one individual (the “Class I MSD
Director”) designated by the MSD Stockholders for election to the Board as a Class I director (as referenced in the Company’s certificate of incorporation) at each annual meeting or action by written consent at which Class I
directors will be elected and (ii) following a timely written request from the MSD Stockholders, shall promptly appoint to the Board and thereafter nominate a second individual (the “Additional MSD Director”) designated by the
MSD Stockholders for election to the Board at each annual meeting or action by written consent at which the class of directors that the Additional MSD Director becomes a member of, will be elected, in each case for so long as the Board remains
classified and (y) for so long as the MSD Stockholders collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 18% but less than 47% of the MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 7.5% but
less than 20% of all outstanding Common Stock), the CCGC (or the Board) shall nominate the Class I MSD Director for election to the Board at each annual meeting or action by written consent at which Class I directors will be elected. If
the MSD Stockholders cease to collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 47% of the MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 20% of all outstanding Common Stock), the MSD
Stockholders shall cause any Additional MSD Director to offer to promptly resign from the Board (which resignation may or may not be accepted by the Board in its 

  
 8 

 
sole discretion). If the MSD Stockholders cease to collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 18% of the MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less,
equal to at least 7.5% of all outstanding Common Stock), the MSD Stockholders shall cause the Class I MSD Director to offer to promptly resign from the Board (which resignation may or may not be accepted by the Board in its sole discretion).
The Class I MSD Director and the Additional MSD Director are each referred to as an “MSD Director Nominee”; provided, that in the case of any MSD Director Nominee other than MSD, such individual will be subject to
the Reasonable Approval of the CCGC; provided, further, that in no event shall any MSD Director Nominee, other than MSD, be an officer or employee of Dell. The initial Class I MSD Director shall be MSD and as of the date hereof,
MSD is the sole “MSD Director Nominee”. In the event the MSD Stockholders exercise their right to designate the Additional MSD Director following the date hereof, at the Board’s election, either the size of the Board will be
expanded to include such MSD Director Nominee or such MSD Director Nominee will replace an existing Board member, and the Additional MSD Director will be added to the class of directors standing for election at the Company’s next annual
meeting, unless otherwise required by the Company’s certificate of incorporation. If the MSD Stockholders wish to designate the Additional MSD Director, the MSD Stockholders shall deliver written notice to the Company; provided, that
such notice shall not be delivered between the date that is 30 days after the end of any fiscal year and the filing by the Company of a proxy statement relating to the Company’s next annual meeting. If at any time following the date hereof, the
Board of Directors is no longer classified and all directors stand for annual election, then the CCGC (or the Board) shall nominate at each meeting or action by written consent at which directors are elected (I) two MSD Director Nominees (or
such lesser number as may be requested by MSD) for so long as the MSD Stockholders collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 47% of the MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 20%
of all outstanding Common Stock) and (II) one MSD Director Nominee for so long as the MSD Stockholders collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 18% but less than 47% of the MSD Stockholders’
Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 7.5% but less than 20% of all outstanding Common Stock). The MSD Stockholders shall cause each MSD Director Nominee, and any replacement, to complete the Company’s standard director and officer
questionnaire and other governance and nomination documents provided in the ordinary course to all other director nominees. 

(B) SLP Nomination Rights. To the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of the Approved Exchange on which the
Company’s equity securities are traded or listed, the Company agrees that unless otherwise agreed to by the SLP Stockholders, for so long as the SLP Stockholders collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at
least 67% of the SLP Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 7.5% of all outstanding Common Stock), the CCGC (or the Board) shall nominate one individual designated by the SLP Stockholders for election to the Board as a
Class I director (as referenced in the Company’s certificate of incorporation) at each annual meeting or action by written consent at which Class I directors will be elected (such individual, the “SLP Director
Nominee”); provided, that in the event the SLP Director Nominee is other than Egon Durban, such individual will be subject to the Reasonable Approval of the CCGC; provided, further, that in no event shall the SLP
Director Nominee be an officer or employee of Dell. If the SLP Stockholders cease to collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 67% of the SLP Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least
7.5% of all outstanding Common Stock), the SLP Stockholders shall cause the SLP Director Nominee to offer to promptly resign from the Board (which resignation may or may not be accepted by the 

  
 9 

 
Board in its sole discretion). As of the date hereof, Egon Durban is the “SLP Director Nominee”. If at any time following the date hereof, the Board of Directors is no longer
classified and all directors stand for annual election, then the CCGC (or the Board) shall nominate the SLP Director Nominee at each meeting or action by written consent at which directors are elected for so long as the SLP Stockholders collectively
beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 67% of the SLP Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 7.5% of all outstanding Common Stock). The SLP Stockholders shall cause each SLP Director Nominee,
and any replacement, to complete the Company’s standard director and officer questionnaire and other nomination and governance documents provided in the ordinary course to all other director nominees. 

(ii) Support. 

(A) For so long as the MSD Stockholders have the right to designate at least one MSD Director Nominee or the SLP Stockholders
have the right to designate an SLP Director Nominee, in each case, for election pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i), each of the CCGC (or the Board) and the Company shall nominate each such MSD Director Nominee and SLP Director
Nominee when applicable as part of the slate of directors that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to such election of directors, and shall provide the same support for the
election of each such SLP Director Nominee and MSD Director Nominee as it provides for all other individuals standing for election. 

(B) During such period as the CCGC (or the Board) or the Company continues to nominate the MSD Director Nominee(s) and unless
the MSD Stockholders notify the Company or the Board in writing of their desire to irrevocably renounce their rights to designate all MSD Director Nominees and all MSD Director Nominees have resigned from the Board in accordance with
Section 3.1(c), the MSD Stockholders agree with the Company (and not any other party hereto) that (A) no MSD Stockholder shall otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to propose to the Company or any of
its stockholders to nominate or support any Person as a director who is not an MSD Director Nominee or otherwise nominated by the CCGC (or the Board) and (B) at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders and at any other meeting of the
stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, the MSD Stockholders shall, to the extent that their shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which
the vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought, (1) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the MSD Stockholders (and for which the MSD Stockholders have the
right to vote) as of the applicable record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (2) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of the MSD Stockholders’ Common Stock as of the
applicable record date for each MSD Director Nominee and each other individual nominated by the CCGC (or the Board) for election to the Board. 

(C) During such period as the CCGC (or the Board) continues to nominate the SLP Director Nominee and unless the SLP
Stockholders notify the Company or the Board in writing of their desire to irrevocably renounce their rights to designate an SLP Director Nominee and such SLP Director Nominee has resigned from the Board in accordance with
Section 3.1(c), the SLP Stockholders agree with the Company (and not any other party hereto) that (A) no SLP Stockholder shall otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to propose to the Company or any of
its stockholders to nominate or support any Person as a director who is not an SLP Director 

  
 10 

 
Nominee or otherwise nominated by the CCGC (or the Board) and (B) at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders and at any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however
called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, the SLP Stockholders shall, to the extent that their shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of
the stockholders of the Company is sought, (1) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the SLP Stockholders (and for which the SLP Stockholders have the right to vote) as of the applicable
record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (2) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of the SLP Stockholders’ Common Stock as of the applicable record date for each SLP Director
Nominee and each other individual nominated by the CCGC (or the Board) for election to the Board. 
 (iii) Director
Replacements. In the event that any MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee resigns as a director or is unable to serve as a director due to death, disability or other incapacity, subject to the reduction and elimination provisions
contained in Section 3.1(a)(i), the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders, as applicable, shall have the right to immediately nominate another MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee, as applicable, who shall
promptly be appointed by the CCGC (or the Board) to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 3.1(a)(i)(A) or Section 3.1(a)(i)(B), as applicable. The
Company shall take all actions consistent with actions taken by the Company in connection with the election of other members of the Board, including soliciting the vote of the stockholders of the Company, in order to elect or appoint any such SLP
Director Nominee or any MSD Director Nominee nominated pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(iii), and, in the event that the Company solicits the vote of the stockholders of the Company with respect to any such MSD Director
Nominee or SLP Director Nominee, (A) the MSD Stockholders agree with the Company (and not any other party hereto) to vote their Common Stock for the election of such nominee and (B) the SLP Stockholders agree with the Company (and not any
other party hereto) to vote their Common Stock for the election of such nominee. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the failure of the stockholders of the Company to elect or appoint any MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee
shall not be a breach of this Agreement by the Company (provided that such failure has not resulted from a breach of this Agreement by the Company) or affect the right of the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders to nominate any MSD
Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee, as applicable, for election pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) in connection with any future election of directors of the Company. 

(iv) Board Committees. For so long as the MSD Stockholders have the right to designate any MSD Director Nominee for
election pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) and to the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of the Approved Exchange on which the Company’s equity securities are traded or listed, the MSD Stockholders shall be
entitled to have an MSD Director Nominee, to the extent then serving on the Board, serve as a member of each committee of the Board (other than the audit committee); provided, that, no MSD Director Nominee shall be entitled to serve as a
member of a committee of the Board if, at the time such MSD Director Nominee is to be appointed to such committee, there exists, solely as a result of such MSD Director Nominee serving on such committee, an actual conflict of interest between the
Company, on the one hand, and such MSD Director Nominee, on the other hand. For so long as the SLP Stockholders have the right to designate an SLP Director Nominee for election pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) and to the
extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of the Approved Exchange on which the Company’s equity securities are traded or listed, the SLP Stockholders shall be entitled to have an SLP Director Nominee, to the extent then

  
 11 

 
serving on the Board, serve as a member of each committee of the Board (other than the audit committee); provided, that, no SLP Director Nominee shall be entitled to serve as a member of a
committee of the Board if, at the time such SLP Director Nominee is to be appointed to such committee, there exists, solely as a result of such SLP Director Nominee serving on such committee, an actual conflict of interest between the Company, on
the one hand, and such SLP Director Nominee, on the other hand. In addition, no MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee shall serve on the audit or related persons transactions committees of the Board. The MSD Stockholders and the SLP
Stockholders acknowledge that any appointment to a currently existing committee will occur, following a request by a MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee, in accordance with the Board’s customary committee assignment timeline. In the
event the Board forms a new committee or materially changes the delegation of authority to an existing committee and an MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee (or both) elect to serve on such committee, the Board shall appoint such
individual(s) to such committee at the time of formation of, or change in authority of, the committee. 
 (b) Board Chairman. As of
the date hereof, the Chairman of the Board shall be MSD. For so long as the MSD Stockholders have the right to nominate a director pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i)(A), the Chairman of the Board shall remain MSD for so long as
he remains a member of the Board. 
 (c) Renunciation of Director Designation Right. In the event that the MSD Stockholders notify the
Company or the Board in writing of their decision to irrevocably renounce their rights to designate an MSD Director Nominee, the MSD Stockholders shall cause each MSD Director Nominee then serving on the Board to resign promptly, but in any event
within one Business Day of such notice. In the event that the SLP Stockholders notify the Company or the Board in writing of their decision to irrevocably renounce their rights to designate an SLP Director Nominee, the SLP Stockholders shall cause
such SLP Director Nominee then serving on the Board to resign promptly, but in any event within one Business Day of such notice.

applicable to all non-executive Board members, including the Company’s Business Conduct Guidelines, director policies and corporate governance guidelines, and preserve the confidentiality of Company
business and information, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees (subject to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 below). For so long as there is any MSD
Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee serving or participating on the Board, (i) any share ownership requirement for each such nominee serving on the Board will be deemed satisfied by the Securities owned by MSD Stockholders (in the case of
any MSD Director Nominee) and the SLP Stockholders (in the case of the SLP Director Nominee), (ii) no policy, procedure, code, rule, standard or guideline applicable to the Board adopted after the date hereof shall be deemed violated by the MSD
Director Nominees or the SLP Director Nominee (x) accepting an invitation to serve on another board of directors of a company whose principal lines(s) of business do not compete with the principal line(s) of business of the Company
(provided that clause (ii) shall not exempt compliance with any policy, procedure, process, code, rule, standard or guideline adopted by the Board to reflect guidelines or recommendations published by Institutional Shareholder Services
or other leading proxy advisory services) or (y) receiving compensation (1), in the case of MSD, from Dell or its Affiliates or (2) in the case of the SLP Director Nominee, from any SLP Stockholder or its Affiliates and (iii) under no
circumstances shall any policy, procedure, code, rule, standard or guideline applicable to the Board (other than with respect to insider trading, hedging (as governed by the Company’s insider trading policy in effect as of the date of this
Agreement) and other applicable law) be deemed to impose any restrictions on sales of Securities by the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders.

Interests other than: (A) the Common Stock received by the MSD Stockholders in the Distribution; (B) acquisitions of up to 2% in the aggregate of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of any such acquisition (measured immediately
prior to such acquisition) that do not result in the MSD Stockholders beneficially owning in the aggregate a percentage of the outstanding Common Stock that is greater than the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock represented by the MSD
Stockholders’ Initial Stake; (C) acquisitions of up to 1% in the aggregate of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of any such acquisition (measured immediately prior to such acquisition) that would not be permitted under the
preceding clause (B) (whether because such acquisitions would result in the MSD Stockholders beneficially owning in the aggregate a percentage of the outstanding Common Stock that is greater than that permitted thereby or because the MSD
Stockholders have already acquired the maximum aggregate amount permitted thereby); or (D) acquisitions that are otherwise approved by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to compliance with duly adopted policies, procedures,
processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines adopted by the Company with respect to insider trading and other applicable law, this Section 3.2(a)(i) shall not in any way limit, restrict or prevent a disposition of
Securities, Synthetic Equity Interests or Short Interests by the MSD Stockholders regardless of the manner of such disposition (including any deferred disposition, forward contract, installment sale, collateralized convertible security or similar
instrument).For the avoidance of doubt, the MSD Stockholders may not acquire Securities that would result in the MSD Stockholders holding, in the aggregate, a percentage of the then outstanding Common Stock that is greater than one percentage point
more than the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock represented by the MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake on the date hereof. 

(ii) The SLP Stockholders, severally and not jointly, agree with the Company (and not any other party hereto) not to acquire,

prior to such acquisition) that do not result in the SLP Stockholders beneficially owning in the aggregate a percentage of the outstanding Common Stock that is greater than the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock represented by the SLP
Stockholders’ Initial Stake; (C) acquisitions of up to 1% in the aggregate of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of any such acquisition (measured immediately prior to such acquisition) that would not be permitted under the
preceding clause (B) (whether because such acquisitions would result in the SLP Stockholders beneficially owning in the aggregate a percentage of the outstanding Common Stock that is greater than that permitted thereby or because the SLP
Stockholders have already acquired the maximum aggregate amount permitted thereby); or (D) acquisitions that are otherwise approved by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to compliance with duly adopted policies, procedures,
processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines adopted by the Company with respect to insider trading and other applicable law, this Section 3.2(a)(ii) shall not in any way limit, restrict or prevent a disposition of
Securities, Synthetic Equity Interests or Short Interests by the SLP Stockholders regardless of the manner of such disposition (including any deferred disposition, forward contract, installment sale, collateralized convertible security or similar
instrument).For the avoidance of doubt, the SLP Stockholders may not acquire Securities that would result in the SLP Stockholders holding, in the aggregate, a percentage of the then outstanding Common Stock that is greater than one percentage point
more than the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock represented by the SLP Stockholders’ Initial Stake on the date hereof. 

  
 13

Stockholders) have the right to nominate a director to the Board pursuant to Section 3.1 and the SLP Stockholders (with respect to the SLP Stockholders) have the right to nominate a director to the Board pursuant to

Stockholders are no longer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and such position differs from the ownership positions publicly reported on their respective Schedule 13D and amendments thereto. 

(b) Other Stockholder Action. 

(i) The MSD Stockholders, severally and jointly, agree with the Company (and not any other party hereto) not to (A) make
any public proposal or announcement (individually, together or with a third party) or (B) take any public or private action with any third party, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), other than in any MSD Director
Nominee’s capacity as a member of the Board (and subject in all respects to such MSD Director Nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law), that constitutes: (w) controlling, changing or influencing the Board or management of the
Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Board; (x) any material change in the capitalization, share repurchase programs and practices, capital allocation programs and practices
or dividend practice of the Company; (y) any other material change in the Company’s management, business or corporate structure; or (z) seeking to have the Company waive or make amendments or modifications to the Company’s
certificate of incorporation or bylaws. 
 (ii) The SLP Stockholders, severally and jointly, agree with the Company (and not
any other party hereto) not to (A) make any public proposal or announcement (individually, together or with a third party) or (B) take any public or private action with any third party, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses

the MSD Stockholders’ rights so long as such transaction does not otherwise limit the MSD Stockholders’ ability to nominate directors pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i)(A)). 

(ii) Except as otherwise set forth below, in the event the Board approves and recommends that the Company’s stockholders

(y) the Board has not “changed” or “withdrawn” its recommendation that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of such applicable transaction and (z) such applicable transaction does not require any SLP
Stockholder to forfeit, terminate or relinquish any or all of its rights under this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, any increase to the size of the Board or grant of director nomination rights to any Person in connection with any such

Section 3.1(a)(i)(A)). 
 (d) The MSD Stockholders, on the one hand, and the SLP Stockholders, on the other hand,
agree not to have voting or investment power (as such terms are used in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) over the Common Stock beneficially owned by the other. 

(e) This Section 3.2 shall terminate and cease to have any force or effect (i) with respect to the MSD

(ii) solely for purposes of Section 3.4(a)(i)(A), Section 3.4(a)(i)(B) and
Section 3.4(a)(i)(C), the obligation of the Company to deliver the materials described therein shall be deemed satisfied if delivered by the Company to a designated representative of the VCOC Investor, including, with

Section 3.4(a)(i)(A) and Section 3.4(a)(i)(B), the obligation of the Company to deliver the materials described therein shall be deemed satisfied if the Company makes such information available

(iii) make appropriate officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and members of the Board available periodically and at such

agrees, subject to any express agreement that may from time to time be in effect, that, subject to Section 4.2(b), any Covered Person may, and shall have no duty not to: 

  
 17 

 (i) invest in, carry on and conduct, whether directly, or as a partner in
any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, equityholder or investor in any Person, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or

(ii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled
Affiliates; or 
 (iii) make investments in any kind of property in which the Company or its Subsidiaries or controlled

 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the DGCL or any other applicable law in
the event that the applicable entity is not incorporated, formed or organized as a corporation in the State of Delaware, the Company (for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates) hereby renounces any interest or
expectancy to participate in any business or investments of any Covered Person as currently conducted or as may be conducted in the future, and waives any claim against a Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim that
such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of such Person’s participation in any such business or investment. The Company shall pay in advance any expenses incurred in
defense of such claim as provided in this provision. In the event that a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (x) the Covered Person and (y) the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates, the Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates. To

behalf of each of its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates) hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any potential transaction or matter of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge, except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly
offered to a Covered Person in writing stating that such offer is being provided to such Covered Person solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Company and such corporate opportunity is intended solely for the benefit of the Company, and
waives any claim against each Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim, that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such

Person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company; provided, however, in each such case, that any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing
stating that such offer is being provided to such Covered Person solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company shall belong to the Company. The Company shall pay in advance any expenses incurred in defense of such claim as
provided in this provision, except to the extent that a Covered Person is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a Delaware court having competent jurisdiction (or any other judgment which is not
appealed in the applicable time) to have breached this Section 4.2(b), in which case any such advanced expenses shall be promptly reimbursed to the Company. 

(c) The provisions of this Section 4.2, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the
Stockholders or any MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Company and each of the Stockholders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Stockholders or any MSD Director
Nominee or SLP Director Nominee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 (iv)
is or was independently developed by such recipient or its Representatives without the use of any Confidential Information. 
 (b) The
Company acknowledges that the Stockholders’ (including their affiliated private equity funds’) review of the Confidential Information will inevitably enhance their knowledge and understanding of the Company’s and its
Subsidiaries’ industries in a way that cannot be separated from such Stockholder’s or its affiliated private equity funds’ other knowledge and the Company agrees that Section 4.3(a) shall not restrict such
Stockholder’s (including its affiliated private equity funds’) use of such overall knowledge and understanding of such industries, including in connection with the purchase, sale, consideration of and decisions related to other investments
and serving on the boards of such investments. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 to the contrary,
any such Stockholder may disclose Confidential Information to: 
 (i) such Stockholder’s and its Affiliates’
Representatives who are subject to a customary confidentiality obligation to such Stockholder or its Affiliates; 
 (ii) any
Person to which such Stockholder offers or may propose to offer to transfer any Securities (provided, that (x) such transfer would be permitted by the terms of this Agreement (assuming the receipt of all consents required hereunder) and

 (iii)
any other Stockholder or its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives, or any member of the Board or any board of directors of any Subsidiary of the Company;

confidential treatment of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed); 

  
 19 

 (v) current or prospective limited partners of a Stockholder or its
affiliated private equity funds who are subject to confidentiality obligations to such Stockholder or its affiliated private equity funds; and 

(vi) other Person(s) with the Company’s prior written consent; provided, that each Stockholder shall be liable for
any breaches of the confidentiality obligations under this Section 4.3 by any Person (including its Representatives) to which it discloses Confidential Information. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees (i) that the MSD Director
Nominees may share confidential, non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries (including any materials received in their capacities as members of a Board or committee of the Company) with the
MSD Stockholders and their respective Affiliates and (ii) that the SLP Director Nominee may share confidential, non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries (including any materials
received in their capacities as members of a Board or committee of the Company) with the SLP Stockholders and their respective Affiliates, limited partners, members and direct and indirect investors, in each case, on a confidential basis
(provided, that with respect to limited partners, members and direct and indirect investors, the SLP Director Nominee may only share such information solely to the extent necessary in connection with such Stockholder’s fundraising
activities). 
 SECTION 4.4. Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall, promptly and upon request, reimburse the Stockholders for
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of their respective director nominees of the Board, if any, incurred in connection with Board service,
including travel, lodging and meal expenses in connection with Board or committee meetings, in accordance with the Company’s duly adopted policies with respect to director expense reimbursement as in effect from time to time. In the event the
Company, in its sole discretion, requests the services of “value creation” personnel or employees of SLP or its Affiliates, SLP shall only be required to provide such services pursuant to a customary engagement letter on mutually agreeable
terms and conditions (or such other services agreement which is mutually acceptable).

 MISCELLANEOUS

 SECTION 6.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Registration Rights Agreement) constitutes the entire
understanding and agreement between the parties and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case, written or oral, of any and every nature with respect thereto. In the event of any inconsistency
between this Agreement and any document executed or delivered to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including the Organizational Documents of any Person, this Agreement shall govern as among the parties hereto. Each of the parties hereto shall
exercise all voting and other rights and powers available to it so as to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and, if necessary, to procure (so far as it is able to do so) any required amendment to the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents, in order to cure any such inconsistency. 
 SECTION 6.2. Specific Performance. The
parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event of breach by any party, damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties
shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or
posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. 
 SECTION 6.3. Governing
Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim

that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. 
 SECTION 6.4. Submissions to Jurisdictions; Waiver
of Jury Trial. 
 (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably acknowledges and consents that any legal action or proceeding
brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the
State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal 

  
 22 

 
court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to and accepts with regard to any such action or proceeding, for
itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a
particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware). Each party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in
the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) lacks jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal
action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a
particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party. 

(b) Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any
of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at its address for notices as provided in Section 6.12, such
service to become effective ten days after such mailing. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced
hereunder or under any other documents contemplated hereby that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Subject to Section 6.4(c), the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in
any other manner permitted by applicable law. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer
rights on any Person other than the respective parties to this Agreement. 
 (c) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right it may
have under the laws of any jurisdiction to commence by publication any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations under or relating to this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives the objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this
Agreement in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State
of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular
matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) is not a convenient forum for any such suit, action or proceeding. 

(d) The parties hereto agree that any judgment obtained by any party hereto or its successors or assigns in any action, suit or proceeding
referred to above may, in the discretion of such party (or its successors or assigns), be enforced in any jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, 

  
 23 

 
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.4(E). 
 SECTION 6.5.
Obligations. All obligations hereunder shall be satisfied in full without set-off, defense or counterclaim. 

SECTION 6.6. Consents, Approvals and Actions. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the MSD
Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, the holders of a majority of the Securities held by the MSD Stockholders or the SLP
Stockholders, as applicable, and in each case such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders, as applicable. 

SECTION 6.7. Amendment; Waiver. 

(a) Any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to or of any provision of this Agreement shall require the prior written approval of
(i) the Stockholder(s) to which the rights or obligations to be amended, modified, supplemental or waived apply and (ii) the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, any assignment pursuant to Section 6.8(b) shall not
constitute an amendment hereto and the applicable assignment agreement need be signed only by the applicable transferor and transferee. 

(b) Any failure by any party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such
provision or any other provisions hereof. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent
breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. 

SECTION 6.8. Assignment of Rights By Stockholders. 

(a) Subject to Section 6.8(b), no Stockholder may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this
Agreement except with the prior consent of the Company. Any purported assignment of rights or obligations under this Agreement in derogation of this Section 6.8 shall be null and void and shall not bind or be recognized by
the Company or any other Person. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Stockholders may assign or transfer
any or all of their rights or obligations under this Agreement to their respective Permitted Assignees who hold Securities and have the voting power to comply with the contractual obligations of Section 3.2(c) (and, for the
avoidance of doubt, any such assignees who are transferred such rights or obligations shall be deemed to be MSD Stockholders or SLP Stockholders, as applicable, for all purposes hereunder). 

SECTION 6.9. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of,
and be binding upon, the parties’ successors and permitted assigns. Except upon the consummation of a Sale Transaction in which the consideration paid to the SLP Stockholders and the MSD Stockholders consists solely of cash, if the Company
(i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii), shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any
Person, then, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Company shall cause such Person that is the surviving entity or acquirer of the assets 

  
 24 

 
of the Company (and any Person that is the parent company of such surviving entity or acquirer in which a Stockholder receives securities in connection with such transaction) to execute a
stockholders agreement with terms with respect to the right of the MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders to designate Board nominees that are substantially equivalent to the rights set forth in Sections 3.1(a)(i), (ii)
and (iii) of this Agreement (assuming any applicable ownership thresholds of the MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders with respect to such rights (applied mutatis mutandis to such Person and its securities) are satisfied in any such
Person), such that such Person shall assume all of the obligations of the Company set forth in Sections 3.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of this Agreement. 

SECTION 6.10. Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 3.4, Section 4.2,
Article V and Section 6.13 (which will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein, and any such Person will have the rights provided for therein), this Agreement does not create any
rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party hereto, and it does not create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto. 

SECTION 6.11. Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate only (i) (x) (A) with respect to the MSD
Stockholders, by written consent of the MSD Stockholders (for so long as such Stockholders own Securities) and (B) with respect to the SLP Stockholders, by written consent of the SLP Stockholders (for so long as such Stockholders own
Securities) and (y) the written consent of the Company; provided, that the MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders may, in their sole discretion, terminate their respective rights and obligations under Section 3.1(a)
at any time, (ii) subject to Section 6.9, upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or (iii) upon the consummation of a Sale Transaction in which (1) the consideration paid to the SLP Stockholders
and the MSD Stockholders consists solely of cash or (2) the MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders receive the same rights to designate board nominees with respect to any surviving or acquiring parent company in such Sale Transaction (in
each case, in which such Stockholders receive securities in connection with such Sale Transaction) as the MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders are entitled to pursuant to Sections 3.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) (assuming
any applicable ownership thresholds of the MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders with respect to such rights (applied mutatis mutandis to any such surviving or acquiring parent company and its securities) are satisfied in any such
surviving or acquiring parent company); provided, that in the case of a termination pursuant to clause (i), Section 3.4, Section 4.2, Section 4.4,
Article V and Article VI shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect unless and solely to the extent expressly waived in writing, with reference to such provisions, by
the applicable Stockholder. 
 SECTION 6.12. Notices. Any and all notices, designations, offers, acceptances or other
communications provided for herein shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument delivered in person or sent by e-mail (with written confirmation of receipt) or nationally recognized
