 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
 THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of April 20, 2007, by and among KAR Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), KAR Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”), those employees of the Company or its subsidiaries listed on Schedule 1 hereto (together
with any person that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.5 and each of their respective Permitted Transferees, collectively, the “Management Shareholders”). The Management Shareholders, together with
any Person that becomes a party to this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to Section 11.6 (any such Person, an “Outside Investor”) and the LLC, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the
“Shareholders.” Capitalized terms used herein without definition are defined in Section 10 of this Agreement. 
 WHEREAS, Axle Holdings II, LLC (“Axle LLC”), Axle Holdings, Inc. (the “Predecessor Company”) and certain of the Management Shareholders were parties to that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2005 (the “Prior Registration Rights Agreement”) of the Predecessor Company and in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, the Conversion
Agreements and the Conversion Stock Option Agreements, the Predecessor Company, Axle LLC and the Management Shareholders have determined to terminate the Prior Registration Rights Agreement by entering into this Agreement and thereby replacing and
superseding the Prior Registration Rights Agreement in its entirety with this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Registrations Upon Request.

 1.1 Requests by the LLC. At any time, or from time to time, subject to Section 5, the LLC shall have the right by
delivering a written notice to the Company (the “Demand Notice”) to require the Company to effect the registration (which may, other than in connection with an IPO, at the option of the LLC, be effected as a Shelf Registration
Statement) pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with the Securities Act, of the offer and sale of any or all of the Registrable Securities owned by the LLC, each such request to specify the intended method or methods of disposition thereof;
provided, that a Demand Notice shall only be made if the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the LLC is reasonably expected by the LLC to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of $50,000,000. Upon any
such request, the Company will promptly, but in any event within 10 days (or, in the case of a Take-down 

  

 1 

 
Transaction, within 5 days), give written notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities and thereupon the Company will, subject to
Section 1.5, use its best efforts to effect the prompt registration under the Securities Act of: 
 (i) the
Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the LLC, and 
 (ii) all other Registrable
Securities which the Company has been requested to register by holders thereof by written request given to the Company by such holders within 10 days (or in the case of a Take-down Transaction, within 5 days) after the giving of such written notice
by the Company to such holders, 
 all to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with
the intended method or methods of disposition of the LLC. 
 1.2 Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company may (by delivering
written notice to the LLC as contemplated by this Section 1.2) postpone the filing (but not the preparation) or effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed or declared effective pursuant to Section 1.1 (or, in the
case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the continued use of such Shelf Registration Statement) if the filing or effectiveness of such registration statement, or the continued use of such Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, would require
the Company to make any public disclosure of material, non-public information, the disclosure of which, in the Board’s good faith judgment, after consultation with independent outside counsel to the Company, (i) would be required to
be made in such registration statement filed with the Commission by the Company (or in an amendment or supplement to a then filed Shelf Registration Statement) so that such registration statement would not be materially misleading and
(ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing or use of such registration statement and the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing such information publicly. The Company shall give prompt
written notice to the LLC of (x) any postponement of the filing or effectiveness or suspension of use, as applicable, of any such registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 (a “Delay Notice”), (y) the
Company’s decision to file or seek effectiveness or no longer suspend the use, as applicable, of such registration statement following such postponement or suspension and (z) the effectiveness of such registration statement. In the case
the Company provides written notice regarding the suspension of use of a Shelf Registration Statement, the holders of Registrable Securities shall suspend use of the applicable prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell
or purchase, Registrable Securities thereunder. The Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation) or effectiveness or suspend the use or filing of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, as applicable, of a particular
registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 only once during any 12-month period. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.2, the Company may not postpone the filing or effectiveness or suspend 

  

 2 

 
the use, as applicable, of a registration statement past the date that is the earliest of (a) the date upon which any disclosure of a matter the Board
has determined would not be in the best interest of the Company to be disclosed is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material, and (b) forty-five (45) days after the date upon which the Board has determined to distribute to the LLC a
Delay Notice. The period during which filing or effectiveness or suspension of use, as applicable, is so postponed or suspended hereunder is referred to as a “Delay Period.” 
 1.3 Registration Statement Form. A registration requested pursuant to Section 1.1 shall be effected by the filing of a registration
statement on a form selected by the LLC. 
 1.4 Expenses. The Company shall pay, and be responsible for, all Registration Expenses in
connection with any registration requested under Section 1.1; provided that each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay all Registration Expenses to the extent required to be paid by such seller under applicable law as well as
all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, in respect of the Registrable Securities being registered for such seller. 
 1.5 Priority in Demand Registrations. If a registration pursuant to Section 1.1 (including any Take-down Transaction) involves an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter selected by the LLC (or, in the case of
an offering which is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the LLC) shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Person requesting registration of Registrable Securities) that, in its opinion, the
number of securities requested, and otherwise proposed to be included in such registration, exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the offering price or marketability of the securities being
sold in such registration, the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without such material adverse effect, first, the Registrable Securities of the
LLC, the Outside Investors, if any, and the Management Shareholders, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by each such Shareholder), and second, the securities, if any, being sold by the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Management Shareholders shall not be entitled to participate in any such registration requested by the LLC (including any Take-down Transaction) to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case
of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the LLC) shall determine in good faith and in writing (with a copy to each affected Person requesting registration of Registrable Securities), that
the participation of the Management Shareholders would materially and adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration, it being understood that the Company shall include in such registration
that number of shares of the Management Shareholders (up to the pro rata amount specified in the previous sentence) which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the marketability or 

  

 3 

 
offering price of the other securities to be sold in such registration. In the event of any such determination under this Section 1.5, the
Company shall give the affected holders of Registrable Securities notice of such determination in lieu of the notice otherwise required under Section 1.1. 
 1.6 Effective Period of Demand Registration. After any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Agreement has become effective, the Company shall use its best efforts to keep
such registration statement effective for a period of at least 180 days from the date on which the Commission declares such registration statement effective (or, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, two years from the date such Shelf
Registration Statement became effective) plus the duration of any Delay Period and any Suspension Period, or such shorter period that shall terminate when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold
pursuant to such registration statement in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein. 
 2. Incidental Registrations.
If the Company at any time proposes to register for sale any of its equity securities under the Securities Act for its own account (including, but not limited to, a Shelf Registration Statement, but other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-4
or S-8 or any successor form), then the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities regarding such proposed registration. Upon the written request of any such holders made within 10 days after the receipt of any
such notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration
under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis in accordance with such intended method or methods of disposition, provided that: 
 (a) (i) the Company shall not include Registrable Securities in such proposed registration to the extent that the Board shall
have determined, after consultation with the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the LLC) for such offering, that it would materially and
adversely affect the offering price to include any Registrable Securities in such registration and (ii) the Company shall not include Registrable Securities of any Management Shareholder in any proposed registration pursuant to this
Section 2 to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the LLC) shall determine in good faith that the participation of
such Management Shareholder would materially and adversely affect the marketability or the offering price of the securities being sold in such registration and provided, further, that in the event of any such determination under clause
(i) or (ii), the Company shall give the affected holders of Registrable Securities notice of such determination in lieu of the notice otherwise required by the first sentence of this Section 2; 
  

 4 

 (b) if, at any time after giving written notice (pursuant to this Section 2)
of its intention to register equity securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such equity securities, the Company
may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall not be obligated to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but shall nevertheless pay
the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of the LLC that a registration be effected under Section 1.1; 
 (c) if in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2, the managing underwriter of such registration (or, in the
case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the LLC) shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each holder of Registrable Securities requesting registration thereof) that the
number of securities requested and otherwise proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the offering price or marketability of the securities being
sold in such registration, then in the case of any registration pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall include in such registration to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without
such material adverse effect, first, the securities, if any, being sold by the Company, and second, the Registrable Securities of the LLC, the Outside Investors, if any, and the Management Shareholders, on a pro rata basis (based on
the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by each such Shareholder); and 
 (d) the Company shall have no
obligation under this Section 2 to use its best efforts to effect any registration of Registrable Securities which any Outside Investor or Management Shareholder has requested to be registered, unless Registrable Securities owned by the
LLC or its Permitted Transferees shall be included in such registration or unless the LLC in its sole discretion determines otherwise. 
 The
Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 2; provided that each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay all Registration
Expenses to the extent required to be paid by such seller under applicable law as well as all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, in respect of the Registrable Securities being registered for such seller. No
registration effected under this Section 2 shall relieve the Company from its obligation to effect registrations under Section 1.1. 
  

 5 

 3. Registration Procedures. Subject to Section 1.2, if and whenever the Company is
required to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 1.1 or Section 2, the Company shall promptly: 
 (a) prepare, and as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days thereafter, file with the Commission, a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities, make all required filings with the NASD and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective as soon as practicable; 
 (b) prepare, and cause its officers and employees to facilitate and cooperate in the preparation of, and promptly file with the Commission
such amendments and post-effective amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for so long as is required to comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act and to complete the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, but (other than in the case of a Shelf
Registration Statement) in no event for a period of more than six months after such registration statement becomes effective, and in the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, prepare such prospectus supplements containing such disclosures as may
be reasonably requested by the LLC or any underwriter(s) in connection with each Take-down Transaction; 
 (c) furnish copies
of all documents proposed to be filed with the Commission in connection with such registration to (i) counsel selected by the LLC, and which counsel may also be counsel to the Company, and (ii) each seller of Registrable
Securities (or in the case of the initial filing of a registration statement, within five business days of such initial filing) and such documents shall be subject to the review of such counsel; provided that the Company shall not file any
registration statement or any amendment or post-effective amendment or supplement to such registration statement or the prospectus used in connection therewith to which such counsel shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such
registration statement amendment, supplement or prospectus does not comply (explaining why) in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder; 
 (d) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities, without charge, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and
of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and documents filed therewith) and such number of copies of the prospectus 

  

 6 

 
included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424
under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller in
accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; 
 (e) use its best efforts to register or qualify such
Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each seller shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary
or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, provided that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified, subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so subject, or take any action which would subject
it to general service of process in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so subject; 
 (f) use its best efforts to cause all
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies, authorities or self-regulatory bodies as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to
enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; 
 (g) in any underwritten offering, furnish to the LLC: 
 (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company experienced in securities law matters, dated the effective date of the registration statement
and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, and 
 (ii) a “cold comfort” letter (unless the
registration is pursuant to Section 2 and such a letter is not otherwise being furnished to the Company), dated the effective date of such registration statement and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, signed by the
independent public accountants who have issued an audit report on the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement, 
 covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other matters as the LLC may
reasonably request; 
  

 7 

 (h) promptly notify each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event or existence of any fact as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing,
and, (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, if a Shareholder has provided notice of an intent to sell, within five Business Days of such notice and (ii) in the case of any other registration statement hereunder, as
promptly as is practicable but in any event, no later than 30 days after such notice (except in the case of clause (i) or (ii) to the extent the Company delivers a Suspension Notice, in which case such period may be up to 45 days but shall
end upon public disclosure of the material transaction which necessitated such Suspension Notice), prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include 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 not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; 
 (i) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement of the Company (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering the period of at least 12
months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of such registration statement; 
 (j) notify each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement (i) when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such registration
statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of the receipt by the Company of any comments from the Commission or of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to such registration
statement or to amend or to supplement such prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose and (iv) of the suspension of the qualification of such securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution of any proceedings for any of such purposes; 
  

 8 

 (k) use every reasonable effort to obtain the lifting of any stop order that might be
issued suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement at the earliest possible moment; 
 (l) use its best
efforts (i) (A) to list such Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which the equity securities of the Company are then listed or, if no such equity securities are then listed, on an exchange selected by the
Company, if such listing is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (B) if such listing is not practicable, to secure designation of such securities as a NASDAQ “national market system security” within the meaning
of Rule 11Aa2-1 under the Exchange Act or, failing that, to secure NASDAQ authorization for such Registrable Securities, and, without limiting the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such
Registrable Securities with the NASD, and (ii) to provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement and to instruct such transfer agent
(A) to release any stop transfer order with respect to the certificates with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold and (B) to furnish certificates without restrictive legends representing ownership of the shares
being sold, in such denominations requested by the sellers of the Registrable Securities or the managing underwriter; 
 (m)
enter into such agreements and take such other actions as the sellers of Registrable Securities or the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including, without limitation,
preparing for, and participating in, such number of “road shows” and all such other customary selling efforts as the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate such disposition; 
 (n) furnish to any holder of such Registrable Securities on a confidential basis such information and assistance as such holder may
reasonably request in connection with any “due diligence” effort which such seller reasonably deems appropriate; 
 (o) take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act; and 
 (p) use its best
efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby. 
  

 9 

 To the extent the Company is a well known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act) (a “WKSI”) at the time the LLC submits any Demand Notice to the Company, and such Demand Notice requests that the Company file a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file a Shelf Registration Statement which covers
those Registrable Securities which are requested to be registered. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) during the period during
which such Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof. If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time the Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the
Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold. If at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective during the period during which such registration statement is required to be kept
effective pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof. 
 As a condition to its registration of Registrable Securities of any prospective seller, the
Company may require such seller of any Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to execute powers-of-attorney, custody arrangements and other customary agreements appropriate to facilitate the offering and to furnish to
the Company such information regarding such seller, its ownership of Registrable Securities and the disposition of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and as shall be required by law in
connection therewith. Each such holder agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in such registration statement in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such holder and
disclosed in such registration statement not materially misleading. 
 The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any
registration statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus used in connection therewith, which refers to any holder of Registrable Securities, or otherwise identifies any holder of
Registrable Securities as the holder of any Registrable Securities, without the consent of such holder (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such disclosure is required by law. 
 By acquisition of Registrable Securities, each holder of such Registrable Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that upon receipt of any notice (a
“Suspension Notice”) from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(h), such holder shall promptly discontinue such holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed or such holder is furnished with copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(h). Notwithstanding the foregoing, 

  

 10 

 
nothing herein shall limit or otherwise alter the Company’s obligations under Section 3(h) or restrict the rights or remedies that the
holders of Registrable Securities have against the Company in the event of a breach of Section 3(h) by the Company. If so directed by the Company, each holder of Registrable Securities shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, in such holder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event that the Company shall give any Suspension Notice, the
Company shall extend the period of time during which the Company is required to maintain the applicable registration statement effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of
such Suspension Notice to and including the date the holders of Registrable Securities are advised by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed or have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by
Section 3(a) (a “Suspension Period”). In any event, the Company shall not be entitled to deliver more than a total of three (3) Suspension Notices in any 12-month period. 
 The Company shall not permit any officer, director, underwriter, broker or any other person acting on behalf of the Company to use any free writing
prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with any registration statement covering Registrable Securities, without the prior written consent of the LLC and any underwriter. 
 4. Underwritten Offerings. 
 4.1
Underwriting Agreement. If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration requested under Section 1.1 or Section 2 (including any Take-down Transaction), the Company shall enter
into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the underwriters and to the LLC (unless the LLC is not participating in such registration, in which case,
such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriter). Any such underwriting agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by the Company and
such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in agreements of this type, including, without limitation, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 8. Each holder of Registrable Securities to be
distributed by such underwriter shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and may, at such holder’s option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the
benefit of such underwriters be made to and for the benefit of such holder of Registrable Securities and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall also be conditions
precedent to the obligations of such holder of Registrable Securities. No Shareholder in its capacity as shareholder and/or controlling person (but not in its capacity as director or officer of the Company) shall be required by any underwriting
agreement to make any representations or warranties to or 

  

 11 

 
agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such holder, the ownership of such
holder’s Registrable Securities and such holder’s intended method or methods of disposition and any other representation required by law or to furnish any indemnity to any Person which is broader than the indemnity furnished by such holder
pursuant to Section 8.2. 
 4.2 Selection of Underwriters. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act for sale for its own account pursuant to an underwritten offering, the Company will have the right to select the managing underwriter (which shall be of nationally recognized standing) to administer the offering,
but if at such time the LLC and its Affiliates own at least 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock they own on the date hereof, only with the approval of the LLC, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, whenever a registration requested pursuant to Section 1.1 is for an underwritten offering, the LLC will have the right to select the managing underwriter (which shall be of nationally recognized standing) to administer the
offering, but only with the approval of the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 5. Holdback Agreements.

 (a) If and whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act for its own
account (other than on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form) or is required to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 1.1 or Section 2, each
holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities not to effect any sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or to request registration under Section 1.1
of any Registrable Securities within seven days prior to and 90 days (unless advised by the managing underwriter that a longer period, not to exceed 180 days, is required, or such shorter period as the managing underwriter for any underwritten
offering may agree) after the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration (the “Trigger Date”), except as part of such registration or unless, in the case of a sale or distribution not involving a
public offering, the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to this Section 5, even if such Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities upon such transfer; provided that, with respect to any Shelf Registration
Statement, a Trigger Date shall be deemed to exist only in the case of an underwritten offering and in such case the Trigger Date shall be the pricing of any underwritten offering made under such registration statement. If requested by such managing
underwriter, each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute an agreement to such effect with the Company and consistent with such managing underwriter’s customary form of holdback agreement. 
  

 12 

 (b) The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity
securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities within seven days prior to and 90 days (or such longer period, not to exceed 180 days, which may be required by the managing underwriter, or such
shorter period as the managing underwriter may agree) after the Trigger Date with respect to any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.1 (except (i) as part of such registration, (ii) as permitted by
any related underwriting agreement, (iii) pursuant to an employee equity compensation plan, (iv) pursuant to an acquisition or strategic relationship, bank or equipment financing or similar transaction or
(v) pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form); provided that, with respect to any Shelf Registration Statement, a Trigger Date shall be deemed to exist only in the case of an underwritten offering and in
such case the Trigger Date shall be the pricing of any underwritten offering made under such registration statement. In addition, if, and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause each
holder (other than any holder already subject to Section 5(a)) of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities, whether outstanding on the date of this Agreement or
issued at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than any such securities acquired in a public offering), to agree not to effect any such public sale or distribution of such securities during such period, except as part of any such
registration if permitted, and to cause each such holder to enter into an agreement to such effect with the Company and consistent with such managing underwriter’s customary form of holdback agreement. 
 6. Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall give counsel referred to in clause (c) of Section 3 the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed
with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and shall give such counsel access to the financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries and opportunities to
discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have issued audit reports on its financial statements in each case as shall be reasonably requested by such counsel in connection with such registration
statement. 
  

 13 

 7. No Grant of Future Registration Rights. The Company shall not grant any other demand or
incidental registration rights to any other Person without the prior written consent of the LLC, which consent, from and after the time the LLC no longer holds at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. 
 8. Indemnification. 
 8.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees that in the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
(a) each holder of Registrable Securities, (b) the Affiliates of such holder and the respective directors, members, stockholders, officers, partners, employees, advisors, representatives and agents of such holder and its
Affiliates, (c) each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and (d) each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of the foregoing against any and all losses, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) and expenses (including reasonable fees of
counsel and any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Company’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such settlement is solely with respect to monetary damages), jointly or severally, directly or
indirectly, based upon or arising out of (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act,
any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Securities Act Rule 433) contained therein or used in connection with the offering of securities covered thereby, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Company will reimburse each such
indemnified party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with enforcing its rights hereunder or under the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such offering or investigating, preparing,
pursuing or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding as such expenses are incurred, except insofar as any such loss, penalty, fine, lien, judgment, claim, damage, liability, action, proceeding or expense arises out of
or is based upon an untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use in the preparation thereof in accordance with the second sentence of Section 8.2. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation made by such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable Securities by such seller. 
  

 14 

 8.2 Indemnification by the Sellers. The Company may require, as a condition to including any
Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.1 or 2, that the Company shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from each of the prospective sellers of such Registrable Securities to
indemnify and hold harmless, severally, not jointly, in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 8.1, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, with respect to any statement of a material fact or alleged statement of a material fact in or omission of a material fact or alleged omission of a
material fact from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, but only to the extent such statement or alleged statement or such omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such seller expressly for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary
prospectus, amendment or supplement. The Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities in their capacities as stockholders and/or controlling persons (but not in their capacities as officers or directors of the Company) hereby acknowledge
and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any
amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith are statements specifically relating to (a) transactions between such holder and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, (b) the
beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by such holder and its Affiliates and (c) the name and address of such holder. If any additional information about such holder or the plan of distribution (other than for an underwritten
offering) is required by law to be disclosed in any such document, then such holder shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 8.2. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable Securities by such seller. The indemnity agreement contained
in this Section 8.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of such seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed if such settlement is solely with respect to monetary damages). The indemnity provided by each seller of Registrable Securities under this Section 8.2 shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
(i.e., net of expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions) actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. 
 8.3 Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a
claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in 

  

 15 

 
respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action or proceeding;
provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof except for the reasonable fees and expenses of any
counsel retained by such indemnified party to monitor such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such indemnified party reasonably determines, based upon advice of independent counsel, that a conflict of interest may exist between
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such action and that it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, such indemnified party may retain other counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnifying party, to represent such indemnified party, and the indemnifying party shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of
such indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (A) includes as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or
on behalf of any indemnified party, and (C) does not require any action other than the payment of money by the indemnifying party. 
 8.4 Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities
with respect to any required registration (other than under the Securities Act) or other qualification of such Registrable Securities under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority. 
 8.5 Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification required to be made by an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8 shall be
made by periodic payments to the indemnified party during the course of the action or proceeding, as and when bills are received by such indemnifying party with respect to an indemnifiable loss, penalty, fine, lien, judgment, claim, damage,
liability or expense incurred by such indemnified party. 
  

 16 

 8.6 Other Remedies. If for any reason any indemnification specified in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section 8 is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such losses, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities, actions, proceedings or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to and faults of the indemnifying
party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other and the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, penalty, fine, lien, judgment, claim, damage, liability, action, proceeding or expense, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statements or
omissions. 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. Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Section 8, in respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required to contribute pursuant to this
Section 8.6 any amount in excess of (a) the net proceeds (i.e., net of expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions) received and retained by such indemnifying party from the sale of its Registrable
Securities covered by the applicable registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, filed pursuant hereto minus (b) any amounts previously paid by such indemnifying party
pursuant to this Section 8 in respect of such claim, it being understood that insofar as such net proceeds have been distributed by any indemnifying party to its partners, shareholders or members, the amount of such indemnifying
party’s contribution hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds which it actually recovers from its partners, shareholders or members based upon their relative fault and that to the extent that such indemnifying party has not distributed
such net proceeds, the amount such indemnifying party’s contribution hereunder shall be limited by the percentage of such net proceeds which corresponds to the percentage equity interests in such indemnifying party held by those of its
partners, shareholders or members who have been determined to be at fault. No party shall be liable for contribution under this Section 8.6 except to the extent and under such circumstances as such party would have been liable for
indemnification under this Section 8 if such indemnification were enforceable under applicable law. 
 9. Representations and
Warranties. Each Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company and each other Shareholder that:

such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder

as such holder may reasonably request in order to avail itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell any Registrable Securities without registration. 
 11.2 Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns under this Section 11.2. The provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of a holder of Registrable Securities shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by any transferee of such Registrable

 11.3 Stock Splits, etc. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will vote to effect a stock split, reverse stock split,
recapitalization or combination with respect to any Registrable Securities in connection with any registration of any Registrable Securities hereunder, or otherwise, if (i) the managing underwriter shall advise the Company in writing
(or, in connection with an offering that is not underwritten, if a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the LLC 

  

 21 

 
shall advise the Company in writing) that in its opinion such a stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or combination would facilitate or
increase the likelihood of success of the offering, and (ii) such stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or combination does not materially impact the respective ownership percentages of each such holder of Registrable
Securities in the Company. The Company shall cooperate in all respects in effecting any such stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or combination. 
 11.4 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by the Company with the written consent of the LLC and a majority (by number of shares) of any other holders of
Registrable Securities whose interests would be adversely affected by such amendment, modification or supplement; provided that the interests of any existing holders of Registrable Securities shall not be adversely affected by an amendment,
modification or supplement of this Agreement that provides for or has the effect of providing for an additional grant of demand registration rights or of incidental registration rights with a lower or the same priority as the rights held by such
existing holders of Registrable Securities, as long as any such grant of incidental registration rights with the same priority are pari passu with those held by such existing holders of Registrable Securities. Each holder of Registrable
Securities shall be bound by any such amendment, waiver, modification or supplement authorized in accordance with this Section 11.4, whether or not such Registrable Securities shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, waiver,
modification or supplement. 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 explicitly provided for in such waiver. 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.
The execution of a counterpart signature page to this Agreement by a Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 11.2 shall not require consent of any party hereto and shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement. 
 11.5 Additional Management Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, only with the consent of the
LLC, admit additional Management Shareholders to this Agreement and amend Schedule 1 accordingly, provided that any such Management Shareholder has become a party to the Shareholders Agreement and executes and delivers a joinder agreement to
this Agreement and such other agreements or documents as may reasonably be requested by the Company. 
 11.6 Outside Investors.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, with the consent of the LLC (and only the consent of the 

  

 22 

 
LLC), admit one or more Outside Investor’s to this Agreement, provided that any such Outside Investor has become a party to the Shareholders Agreement
and executes and delivers a joinder agreement to this Agreement and such other agreements or documents as may reasonably be requested by the Company. 
 11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and the Persons subject hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the
State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof. 
 11.8 Invalidity of Provision. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that
provision, in any other jurisdiction.

 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Company, the Existing Guarantors and the Trustee have
heretofore become parties to an Indenture, dated as of April 20, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 of the Company (the

Subsidiary Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Subsidiary Guarantor shall guarantee the Company’s Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations under the Notes pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee on
the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Article XIII of the Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, the Subsidiary Guarantor desires to enter
into such supplemental indenture for good and valuable consideration, including substantial economic benefit in that the financial performance and condition of the Subsidiary Guarantor is dependent on the financial performance and condition of the
Company, the obligations hereunder of which the Subsidiary Guarantor has guaranteed, and on the Subsidiary Guarantor’s access to working capital through the Company’s access to revolving credit borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement;
and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Indenture, the parties hereto are authorized to execute and deliver this
Supplemental Indenture to amend the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company, the Existing Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes as
follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital
hereto are used herein as therein defined. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any
particular Section hereof. 

 2. Agreement to Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees, jointly and severally with the
other Guarantors, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally, to guarantee the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations under the Indenture and the Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article XIII of the Indenture and to be
bound by (and shall be entitled to the benefits of) all other applicable provisions of the Indenture as a Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 3.
Termination, Release and Discharge. The Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and discharged from all obligations in respect of
the Subsidiary Guarantee, as and when provided in Section 1303 of the Indenture. 
 4. Parties. Nothing in this
Supplemental Indenture is intended or shall be construed to give any Person, other than the Holders and the Trustee, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee or any
provision contained herein or in Article XIII of the Indenture. 
 5. Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE TRUSTEE, THE COMPANY, ANY OTHER OBLIGOR IN RESPECT OF THE NOTES AND (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE NOTES) THE HOLDERS AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED
STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. 
 6. Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects
ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter
authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby. The Trustee makes no representation or warranty as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or as to the accuracy of the recitals to this Supplemental Indenture. 
 7. Counterparts. The parties hereto may sign one or more copies of this Supplemental Indenture in counterparts, all of which together shall
