Each Shareholder agrees to vote its Common Shares and to cause its representatives on the Board, subject to their fiduciary duties, to vote and take other appropriate action to effectuate the agreements in this Section 2.08 in respect of any
Subsidiary. 
  
 Section 2.09. Affiliate Transactions.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or

 Section 2.10. Board Observers. During the periods described below in this Section 2.10, each Quadrangle Entity and each CVC Entity shall have the right to appoint a representative (collectively, the “Board
Representatives”) to attend each meeting of the Board as a non-voting observer, whether such meeting 
  

 17 

 is conducted in person or by teleconference. The Board Representatives shall have the right to present matters for
consideration by the Board and to speak on matters presented by others. Subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Section 2.10, the Company shall cause the Board Representatives to be provided with all communications and materials that
are provided by the Company or its consultants to the members of the Board generally, at the same time and in the same manner that such communications and materials are provided to such members, including all notices, board packages, reports,
presentations, minutes and consents. The Board Representatives shall be entitled to meet and consult with the senior executive management team of the Company on a quarterly basis to discuss the quarterly and annual business plans of the Company and
the Company’s Subsidiaries and to review the progress of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries in achieving their plans. In addition, upon request to the chief executive officer of the Company, the members of the senior executive
management team of the Company shall make themselves available during normal business hours to meet with the Board Representatives on an interim basis, as the Board Representatives may reasonably request from time to time. 
  
 The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to notify the Board
Representatives of any significant business issues or initiatives affecting the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries, such as changes in the Company’s capital structure, incurrence of any significant indebtedness, significant business
acquisitions, dispositions or similar transactions, developments or proposals entailing a potentially significant liability, nomination of directors, appointment or election of senior management personnel, and adoption of contracts, plans or other
compensation arrangements covering senior management personnel. Whenever reasonably practicable, such notice shall be provided to the Board Representatives in a manner that affords the Board Representatives an opportunity to consult with the Company
prior to any significant action on such issues or initiatives. Upon reasonable request by the Board Representatives to the chief executive officer of the Company, the Board Representatives shall be entitled, at their cost and expense, to inspect the
books and records and the facilities of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries during normal business hours and to request and receive reasonable information regarding the financial condition and operations of the Company and the
Company’s Subsidiaries. The right of each Quadrangle Entity and each CVC Entity to appoint a Board Representative, and the rights of such Board Representatives described above, shall exist solely during the periods, if any, in which such entity
is intended to qualify as a “venture capital operating company” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 and such entity does not possess the right to elect or appoint a member of the Board.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.10 to the contrary, the Board shall have the right to keep confidential from the Board Representatives for such period of time as the Board deems 
  

 18 

 reasonable any information and copies of written materials the Company is required by law or agreement with a third party
to keep confidential. As a condition of the exercise of their rights under this Section 2.10, the Board Representatives shall enter into such agreements or undertakings with the Company to maintain the confidentiality of information provided to
them in connection with the exercise of such rights as the Company may reasonably request. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
  
 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER 
  
 Section 3.01. General. (a) Each Shareholder understands and agrees that the Company Securities acquired pursuant to the Transaction Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act and are
restricted securities thereunder. Each Shareholder agrees that it will not Transfer any Company Securities (or solicit any offers in respect of any Transfer of any Company Securities), except in compliance with, or pursuant to an applicable
exemption from, the Securities Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” laws, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Any attempt to Transfer any Company Securities not in compliance with this Agreement shall be null and void and the Company shall not, and shall cause
any transfer agent not to, give any effect in the Company’s stock records to such attempted Transfer.

to any Shareholder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
  
 “THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY FOREIGN OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. THIS SECURITY IS ALSO
SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MAY 2, 2005, AS AMENDED, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST FROM NTELOS HOLDINGS CORP. OR ANY SUCCESSOR THERETO.” 

 
 (b) If any Company Securities shall be either (i) disposed of
pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective by the SEC or (ii) sold under circumstances in which all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 are met, the Company, upon the written request of the holder thereof, shall
issue to such 
  

 19 

 holder a new certificate evidencing such shares without the first sentence of the legend required by Section 3.02(a)
endorsed thereon. If any Company Securities cease to be subject to any and all restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Company, upon the written request of the holder thereof, shall issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing
such Company Securities without the second sentence of the legend required by Section 3.02(a) endorsed thereon. 
  
 Section 3.03. Permitted Transferees. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Shareholder may at any time
Transfer any or all of its Company Securities to one or more of its Permitted Transferees without the consent of the Board or any Management Shareholder or group of Shareholders and without compliance with Sections 3.04, 3.05, 4.01 and 4.02 so long
as (a) such Permitted Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and (b) the Transfer to such Permitted Transferee is not in violation of applicable federal
or state securities laws. 
  
 (b) If any Permitted Transferee of
any Shareholder to which Common Shares have been transferred ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder, such Permitted Transferee shall, and such Shareholder shall cause such Permitted Transferee to, transfer back to such Shareholder
(or to another Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder) any Common Shares it owns on or prior to the date that such Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder. 
  
 Section 3.04. Restrictions on Transfers by the Institutional
Shareholders. (a) Except as provided in Section 3.03, each Institutional Shareholder may transfer its Company Securities only as follows: 
  
 (i) in a Transfer to which CVC Equity (in the case of a Transfer by any of the Quadrangle Entities) consents or the Quadrangle Entities
(in the case of a Transfer by any of the CVC Entities) consent; 
  
 (ii) in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.05; or 
  
 (iii) following the First Public Offering, in a Transfer that complies with such restrictions (if any) as may be agreed upon pursuant to
Section 3.04(b). 
  
 (b) In connection with the First Public
Offering, the Institutional Shareholders shall consider in good faith implementing mutually agreeable restrictions on Transfers of Company Securities by the Institutional Shareholders to be in effect following the consummation of the First Public
Offering. 
  

 20 

 Section 3.05. Restrictions on Transfers by the Management Shareholders. Except as provided in
Section 3.03, each Management Shareholder may transfer its Company Securities only as follows: 
  
 (a) as a Tagging Person in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.01; 
  
 (b) in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.04; 

 
 (c) in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.05; or

  
 (d) in a Transfer made in compliance with
Section 4.02; or 
  
 (e) in a Transfer made
following the consummation of the First Public Offering; provided that no such Transfer (including a Transfer pursuant to Article 5) shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 3.05(e) prior to the second anniversary of the consummation
of the First Public Offering to the extent that such Transfer would result in such Management Shareholder’s Aggregate Ownership of Common Stock as a percentage of its Initial Ownership of Common Stock to be less than any Institutional
Shareholder’s Aggregate Ownership of Common Stock as a percentage of its Initial Ownership of Common Stock, in each case as of immediately following such Transfer. 
  
 ARTICLE 4 
  
 TAG-ALONG RIGHTS; DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS; 
 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS; LIQUIDITY EVENT 
  
 Section 4.01. Rights to Participate in Transfer. (a) Subject
to Section 3.03, if one or more Institutional Shareholders (the “Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer any number of any class of Company Securities prior to the consummation of the First Public Offering (a “Tag-Along
Sale”), the Management Shareholders (each, an “Eligible Shareholder”) may elect, at their option, to exercise their rights under this Section 4.01 (each such Management Shareholder, a “Tagging
Person”). 
  
 In the event of such a proposed Transfer,
the Tag-Along Seller shall provide each Eligible Shareholder written notice of the terms and conditions of such proposed transfer (a “Tag-Along Notice”) and offer each Eligible Shareholder the opportunity to participate in such
sale. The Tag-Along Notice shall identify the number and class of Company Securities subject to the offer (“Tag-Along Offer”), the price at which the Transfer is proposed to be made, and all other material terms and conditions of
the Tag-Along Offer, including the form of the proposed agreement, if any. 
  

 21 

 From the date of the receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, each Tagging Person shall have the right (a
“Tag-Along Right”), exercisable by written notice (a “Tag-Along Response Notice”) given to the Tag-Along Seller within 15 Business Days of its receipt of the Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Notice
Period”), to request that the Tag-Along Seller include in the proposed Transfer the number of Company Securities held by such Tagging Person as is specified in such notice; provided that in no event shall any Tagging Person have the
right to include in any such Proposed Transfer any Company Securities that are still subject to vesting as of the closing date of the Tag-Along Sale (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Unvested Incentive Shares); provided further
that, if the aggregate number of Company Securities proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller and all Tagging Persons in such transaction exceeds the number of Company Securities that can be sold on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Tag-Along Notice, then (a) each Tagging Person shall be entitled to include in the Tag-Along Sale only its Tag-Along Portion of Company Securities and (b) the Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to include the number of Company Securities
proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller as set forth in the Tag-Along Notice (reduced, to the extent necessary, so that each Tagging Person shall be able to include its Tag-Along Portion) and such additional Company Securities as
permitted by Section 4.01(d). Each Tagging Person that exercises its Tag-Along Rights hereunder shall deliver to the Tag-Along Seller, together with its Tag-Along Response Notice, the certificate or certificates representing the Company
Securities of such Tagging Person to be included in the Transfer, together with a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Tag-Along Seller to Transfer such Company Securities on the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. Delivery of such
certificate or certificates representing the Company Securities to be Transferred and the limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Tag-Along Seller to Transfer such Company Securities shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of the Tag-Along
Offer by such Tagging Persons. Each Tag-Along Response Notice shall include wire transfer instructions for payment of the purchase price for the Company Securities to be sold in such Tag-Along Sale. The Tagging Persons shall (i) be required
(A) to bear their proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and any documented transaction expenses and (B) to make such representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such agreements as are
customary for transactions of the nature of the Tag-Along Offer, in each case under the terms of any definitive agreement(s) relating to such Tag-Along Offer and (ii) benefit from all of the same provisions of the definitive agreements as the
Tag-Along Seller, it being understood that any liability of any Tagging Person for indemnification or similar post-closing obligations shall not exceed the consideration such Tagging Person receives in the 
  

 22 

 Tag-Along Sale and shall not exceed a proportional share of any such liability based on such Tagging Person’s share
of the aggregate consideration in the Tag-Along Sale. 
  
 If, at
the end of a 90-day period after delivery of the Tag-Along Notice (which 90-day period shall be extended if any of the transactions contemplated by the Tag-Along Offer are subject to regulatory approval until the expiration of five Business Days
after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days following delivery of the Tag-Along Notice by the Tag-Along Seller), the Tag-Along Seller has not completed the Transfer of all such Company Securities on substantially
the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, the Tag-Along Seller shall (A) return to each Tagging Person the limited power-of-attorney (and all copies thereof) together with all certificates representing the Company
Securities that such Tagging Person delivered for Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) and (B) not conduct any Transfer of Company Securities without again complying with this Section 4.01 to the extent applicable. 
  
 (b) Concurrently with the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale, the Tag-Along
Seller shall notify the Tagging Persons thereof, shall remit to the Tagging Persons the total consideration (by wire transfer of immediately available funds or, if so requested, bank or certified check) for the Company Securities of the Tagging
Persons transferred pursuant thereto less the Tagging Persons’ proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and any transaction expenses, and shall, promptly after the consummation of such Tag-Along
Sale, furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of such transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Tagging Persons. The Tag-Along Seller shall promptly remit to the Tagging Persons any additional
consideration payable upon the release of any escrows or holdbacks or the payment of any purchase price adjustments. In the event that a Tag-Along Seller has proposed to transfer only Class L Common Shares in the Tag-Along Notice, the per share
consideration to be paid for any Class A Common Shares included by a Tagging Person in the Tag-Along Sale (prior to any deductions as set forth above) will equal the per share consideration for Class L Common Shares less the sum of (i) the
aggregate Unpaid Yield (as defined in the Charter) with respect to all outstanding Class L Common Shares and (ii) the aggregate Unreturned Original Cost (as defined in the Charter) with respect to all outstanding Class L Common Shares, in each
case allocated ratably among the Class L Common Shares as of the time of the Tag-Along Sale. 
  
 (c) If at the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period any Eligible Shareholder shall not have elected to participate in the Tag-Along Sale, such Eligible Shareholder will be deemed to have waived its rights under
Section 4.01(a) with respect to the Transfer of its securities pursuant to such Tag-Along Sale. 
  

 23 

 (d) If (i) any Eligible Shareholder declines to exercise its Tag-Along Rights or (ii) any
Tagging Person elects to exercise its Tag-Along Rights with respect to less than such Tagging Person’s Tag-Along Portion, the Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to Transfer, pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer, a number of Company Securities held
by it equal to the number of Company Securities constituting, as the case may be, the Tag-Along Portion of such Eligible Shareholder or the portion of such Tagging Person’s Tag-Along Portion with respect to which Tag-Along Rights were not
exercised. 
  
 (e) The Tag-Along Seller may Transfer, on behalf of
itself and any Tagging Person who exercises the Tag-Along Rights pursuant to this Section 4.01(a), the Company Securities subject to the Tag-Along Offer and elected to be Transferred on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice
within 90 days (or such longer period as extended under Section 4.01(a)) of the date on which all Tag-Along Rights shall have been waived, exercised or expire. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 4.01, a Tag-Along Seller may Transfer Company Securities at any
time without complying with the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.01 so long as the Tag-Along Seller deposits into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with an independent third party escrow
agent (the “Escrow Agent”) at the time of Transfer a portion of the consideration received by the Tag-Along Seller in such Transfer equal to the amount (the “Escrow Amount”) of consideration that the Eligible
Shareholders would in the aggregate have been entitled to receive in such Transfer if each of the Eligible Shareholders participated in such Transfer as a Tagging Person to the extent of its Tag-Along Portion, determined as if each such Eligible
Shareholder (i) delivered a Tag-Along Response Notice to the Tag-Along Seller in the time period set forth in Section 4.01(a) and (ii) proposed to include all of its Company Securities which it would have been entitled to include in
the Transfer. 
  
 No later than the date of any Transfer proposed
to be made pursuant to this Section 4.01(f), the Tag-Along Seller shall notify the Company in writing of the proposed Transfer. Such notice (the “Escrow Notice”) shall set forth the information required in a Tag-Along Notice,
and in addition, such notice shall state the name of the Escrow Agent and the account number of the Escrow Account. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within 10 days, deliver or cause to be delivered the Escrow Notice to each Eligible
Shareholder. 
  

 24 

 An Eligible Shareholder may require the Tag-Along Seller to purchase Company Securities from it by
delivering to the Tag-Along Seller within 15 days of the date the Company delivered or caused to be delivered the Escrow Notice (i) a written notice specifying the number of Company Securities it proposes to sell to the Tag-Along Seller
(provided that such number shall not exceed such Eligible Shareholder’s Tag-Along Portion, which shall be calculated as if the subject Transfer had complied with the provisions of Section 4.01(a)), and (ii) the certificates
representing such Company Securities, with transfer powers duly endorsed in blank. 
  
 Promptly after the expiration of the 15-day period referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, (A) the Tag-Along Seller shall purchase from each Eligible Shareholder that duly delivered a notice and
Company Securities in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph the number of Company Securities specified by such Eligible Shareholder in such notice (provided that the Tag-Along Seller shall not be required to purchase in excess
of such Eligible Shareholder’s Tag-Along Portion, which shall be calculated as if the subject Transfer had complied with the provisions of Section 4.01(a)), (B) the Tag-Along Seller shall cause to be released from the Escrow Account
to each Eligible Shareholder from whom the Tag-Along Seller purchases Company Securities pursuant to clause (A) of this paragraph the applicable amount of consideration due to such Eligible Shareholder together with any interest thereon, and
(C) all remaining funds and other consideration held in such escrow account shall be released to the Tag-Along Seller. 
  
 (g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.01, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to the Tagging Persons
(other than the obligation to return any certificates evidencing Company Securities received by the Tag-Along Seller) if the Transfer of Company Securities pursuant to Section 4.01 is not consummated for whatever reason. The decision whether to
effect a Transfer of Company Securities pursuant to this Section 4.01 by the Tag-Along Seller is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Tag-Along Seller. 
  
 (h) This Section 4.01 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the First Public
Offering and (ii) the date on which the Aggregate Ownership of the Institutional Shareholders together falls below 20% of the aggregate Initial Ownership of such Institutional Shareholders. 
  
 Section 4.02. Right to Compel Participation in Certain Transfers.
(a) If the Quadrangle Entities and the CVC Entities jointly propose (i) to Transfer (including by merger, share exchange or other similar legal mechanism) not less than 50% of their Initial Ownership of any class of Company Securities
to a Third Party in a bona fide sale or (ii) a Transfer (including by merger, share exchange or 
  

 25 

 other similar legal mechanism) in which the Company Securities to be Transferred by the Institutional Shareholders
together, plus the Company Securities to be Transferred by the Management Shareholders pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), constitute more than 50% of the then outstanding Company Securities in a particular class (a “Compelled
Sale”), the Institutional Shareholders together may at their option require all Management Shareholders to Transfer the Drag-Along Portion of Company Securities (“Drag-Along Rights”) then held by every Management
Shareholder, and in the case of a Compelled Sale involving Common Shares (but subject to and at the closing of the Compelled Sale) to exercise such number of options or warrants for Common Shares held by every Management Shareholder as is required
in order that a sufficient number of Common Shares are available to Transfer the relevant Drag-Along Portion of each such Management Shareholder, for the same consideration per unit of the relevant class of Company Security (it being understood that
if the Compelled Sale is to include both Class A Common Stock and Class L Common Stock, the consideration payable per share of each such class shall be equitably adjusted to give effect to the liquidation preference provided for by the Charter
with respect to the Class L Common Stock) and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Institutional Shareholders, provided that any Management Shareholder who holds options or warrants the exercise price per share of which is
greater than the per share price at which the Common Shares are to be Transferred to the Third Party may, if required by the Institutional Shareholders to exercise such options or warrants, in place of such exercise, submit to irrevocable
cancellation thereof without any liability for payment of any exercise price with respect thereto. If the Compelled Sale is not consummated with respect to any Common Shares acquired upon exercise of such options or warrants, or the Compelled Sale
is not consummated, such options or warrants shall be deemed not to have been exercised or canceled, as applicable. 
  
 The Institutional Shareholders shall provide written notice of such Compelled Sale to the Management Shareholders (a “Compelled Sale
Notice”) not later than the 15th day prior to the proposed Compelled Sale. The Compelled Sale Notice shall identify the transferee, the number and class of Company Securities subject to the Compelled Sale, the consideration for which a
Transfer is proposed to be made (the “Compelled Sale Price”) and all other material terms and conditions of the Compelled Sale. The number of Company Securities to be sold by each Management Shareholder will be the Drag-Along
Portion of each class of Company Securities identified in the Compelled Sale Notice that such Management Shareholder owns. Each Management Shareholder shall be required to participate in the Compelled Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in
the Compelled Sale Notice and to tender all its Company Securities as set forth below. The price payable in such Transfer shall be the Compelled Sale Price. Not later than the 10th day following the date of the Compelled Sale Notice (the 

 

 26 

 “Compelled Sale Notice Period”), each of the Management Shareholders shall deliver to a representative
of the Institutional Shareholders designated in the Compelled Sale Notice certificates, and in the case of warrants, the applicable instrument, representing all Company Securities comprising the Drag-Along Portion held by such Management
Shareholder, duly endorsed, together with all other documents required to be executed in connection with such Compelled Sale or, if such delivery is not permitted by applicable law, an unconditional agreement to deliver such Company Securities
pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) at the closing of such Compelled Sale against delivery to such Management Shareholder of the consideration therefor. If a Management Shareholder should fail to deliver such certificates to the Institutional
Shareholders, the Company (subject to reversal under Section 4.02(b)) shall cause the books and records of the Company to show that such Company Securities are bound by the provisions of this Section 4.02(a) and that such Company
Securities shall be Transferred to the transferee in the Compelled Sale immediately upon surrender for Transfer by the holder thereof. The Management Shareholders shall (A) be required (1) to bear their proportionate share of any escrows,
holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and any documented transaction expenses, (2) to make such representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Compelled Sale,
in each case under the terms of any definitive agreements relating to such Compelled Sale and (3) vote for, consent to and raise no objection against the Compelled Sale and (B) benefit from all of the same provisions of the definitive
agreements as the Institutional Shareholders, it being understood that any liability of any Management Shareholder for indemnification or similar post-closing obligations shall not exceed the consideration such Management Shareholder receives in the
Compelled Sale and shall be a proportional share of any such liability based on such Management Shareholder’s share of the aggregate consideration in the Compelled Sale. 
  
 (b) The Institutional Shareholders shall have a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of the Compelled Sale Notice to
consummate the Compelled Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Compelled Sale Notice, provided that, if such Compelled Sale is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five
Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days following the effective date of the Compelled Sale Notice. If the Compelled Sale shall not have been consummated during such period, the Institutional
Shareholders shall return to each of the Management Shareholders all certificates or other applicable instruments representing Company Securities that such Management Shareholders delivered for Transfer pursuant hereto, together with any documents
in the possession of the Institutional Shareholders executed by the Management Shareholders in connection with such proposed Transfer, and all the restrictions 
  

 27 

 on Transfer contained in this Agreement or otherwise applicable at such time with respect to such Company Securities
owned by the Management Shareholders shall again be in effect. 
  
 (c) Concurrently with the consummation of the Transfer of Company Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Institutional Shareholders shall give notice thereof to the Management Shareholders, shall remit to each of the Management
Shareholders who have surrendered their certificates or other applicable instruments the total consideration (the cash portion of which is to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or if so requested, bank or certified check) for
the Company Securities Transferred pursuant hereto less the Management Shareholders’ proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and any transaction expenses and shall furnish such other evidence of the
completion and time of completion of such Transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by such Management Shareholders. The Institutional Shareholders shall promptly remit to the Management Shareholders any additional consideration
payable upon the release of any escrows or holdbacks or the payment of any purchase price adjustments. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.02, there shall be no liability on the part of the Institutional Shareholders to the
Management Shareholders (other than the obligation to return any certificates or other applicable instruments representing Company Securities received by any Institutional Shareholders) if the Transfer of Company Securities pursuant to this
Section 4.02 is not consummated for whatever reason, regardless of whether the Institutional Shareholders have delivered a Compelled Sale Notice. Whether to effect a Transfer of Company Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02 by the
Institutional Shareholders is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Institutional Shareholders. 
  
 (e) This Section 4.02 shall terminate upon the consummation of the First Public Offering. 
  
 Section 4.03. Preemptive Rights.
(a) The Company shall provide each Shareholder with a written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance by the Company of any Company Securities or any debt securities (“New Securities”)
to any Institutional Shareholder or any Affiliate of an Institutional Shareholder at least 20 days prior to the proposed issuance date. The Issuance Notice shall specify the price at which the New Securities are to be issued, the class of such
securities and the other material terms of the issuance. Subject to Section 4.03(f) below, each Shareholder shall be entitled to purchase up to such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of the New Securities proposed to be issued, at the price and
on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice. 
  

 28 

 “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to a Shareholder, the fraction that results from dividing
(i) such Shareholder’s Aggregate Ownership (without giving effect to such issuance) of Common Stock by (ii) the Aggregate Ownership (without giving effect to such issuance) of Common Stock by all Shareholders. 
  
 (b) A Shareholder shall deliver notice of its election to purchase such New
Securities to the Company and each Management Shareholder within fifteen Business Days of receipt of the Issuance Notice. Such delivery of notice (which notice shall specify the number (or amount) of New Securities to be purchased by the Shareholder
submitting such notice) to the Company shall constitute exercise by such Shareholder of its rights under this Section 4.03 and a binding agreement of such Shareholder to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice,
the number of shares (or amount) of Company Securities specified in such Shareholder’s notice. If, at the termination of such five-Business-Day period, any Shareholder shall not have exercised its rights to purchase any of its Pro Rata Share of
such New Securities, such Shareholder shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 4.03 with respect to the purchase of such New Securities. 
  
 (c) If any Shareholder fails to exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 4.03 or elects to exercise such
rights with respect to less than such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share, each Management Shareholder that has exercised its rights to purchase its entire Pro Rata Share shall be entitled to purchase from the Company its pro rata portion (which means
the fraction that results from dividing (i) such Shareholder’s Aggregate Ownership (without giving effect to the issuance) of Common Stock by (ii) the Aggregate Ownership (without giving effect to the issuance) of Common Stock of all
Shareholders exercising in full their preemptive rights with respect to their respective Pro Rata Shares) of such New Securities with respect to which a Shareholder shall not have exercised its preemptive rights. The Company shall continue to offer
additional pro rata portions to Shareholders choosing to purchase their full pro rata portion of such Company Securities pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) until (i) all New Securities proposed to be issued by the Company and with respect to
which Shareholders were entitled to exercise their rights under this Section 4.03 have been purchased by Shareholders or (ii) all Shareholders have purchased the maximum number of New Securities indicated in their respective Issuance
Notice, whichever is earlier. 
  
 (d) The Company shall have 90
days from the date of the Issuance Notice to consummate the proposed issuance of any or all of such New Securities that the Shareholders have not elected to purchase at the price and upon terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company
than those specified in the Issuance Notice, provided that, if such issuance is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days 
  

 29 

 after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days from the date of the Issuance Notice. If
the Company proposes to issue any class of New Securities after such 90-day period (as it may be so extended), it shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.03. 
  
 (e) At the consummation of the issuance of such New Securities, the Company
shall issue certificates representing the New Securities to be purchased by each Shareholder exercising preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 4.03 registered in the name of such Shareholder, against payment by such Shareholder of the
purchase price for such New Securities as specified in the Issuance Notice. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shareholder shall be entitled to purchase New Securities as contemplated by this Section 4.03 in connection with issuances of Company Securities (i) to employees of the
Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to employee benefit plans or arrangements approved by the Board (including upon the exercise of employee stock options granted pursuant to any such plans or arrangements), (ii) in connection with any bona
fide, arm’s-length restructuring of outstanding debt of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) in connection with any bona fide, arm’s-length direct or indirect merger, acquisition or similar transaction, (iv) in the First Public
Offering, any subsequent public offering of securities or any offering of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act, (v) as a ratable dividend or distribution on Common
Stock or any other class of capital stock of the Company then outstanding, or in connection with any ratable stock splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar events affecting the Common Stock or in any transaction in
respect of a security that is available to all holders of such security on a pro rata basis or (vi) if such New Securities are debt securities and no more than 20% of the aggregate principal amount of such New Securities are to be issued
to Institutional Shareholders and Affiliates of the Institutional Shareholders. The Company shall not be obligated to consummate any proposed issuance of New Securities, nor be liable to any Shareholder if the Company has not consummated any
proposed issuance of New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.03 for whatever reason, regardless of whether it shall have delivered an Issuance Notice in respect of such proposed issuance. 
  
 (g) The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall terminate upon the
consummation of the First Public Offering. 
  
 (h) For convenience
of administration, the Company may offer and sell New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Shareholders in compliance with this Section 4.03, so long as each Shareholder is provided the opportunity to purchase its Pro
Rata Share of such New Securities within 45 days after the consummation of such sale. 
  

 30 

 Section 4.04. Purchase Option. (a) In the event that on or prior to the fourth
anniversary of the Closing Date, any Management Shareholder shall cease to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason (including, but not limited to, death, disability, retirement at age 65 or more under the Company’s
or of its Subsidiaries’ normal retirement policies, resignation or termination by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, with or without Cause), not including a leave of absence approved by the Company, such Management
Shareholder shall give prompt notice to the Company of such termination (except in the case of termination by the Company), and the Company, and/or, if approved by the Board, the holders of Class L Common Stock (on a pro rata basis), shall
have the right and option at any time within 90 days after the later of the effective date of such termination of employment (the “Termination Date”) or the date of the Company’s receipt of the aforesaid notice, (which 90-day
period shall be extended if such transaction is subject to regulatory approval until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days), to purchase from such Management
Shareholder, any or all of the Incentive Shares (excluding any Vested Incentive Shares from and after the Company’s First Public Offering) then owned by such Management Shareholder (and his or her Permitted Transferees) at a purchase price
equal to the Option Purchase Price (as defined below). The Company shall give notice to the terminated Management Shareholder of its intention (or the intention of the holders of Class L Common Stock, as applicable) to purchase Incentive Shares at
any time not later than 90 days after the Termination Date (which 90-day period shall be extended if such transaction is subject to regulatory approval until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no
event later than 180 days). The right of the Company (and the holders of Class L Common Stock, as applicable) set forth in this Section 4.04 to purchase a terminated Management Shareholder’s Incentive Shares (and the Incentive Shares of
the persons or entities deemed to be included in the definition of such Management Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement) is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Option.” 
  
 (b) The Purchase Option shall be exercised by written notice to the
terminated Management Shareholder signed by an officer of the Company on behalf of the Company. Such notice shall set forth the number of Incentive Shares desired to be purchased and shall set forth a time and place of closing which shall be no
earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days after the date such notice is sent. At such closing, the seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the number of Incentive Shares to be purchased by the Company and/or its designee(s),
accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank or duly executed instruments of transfer, and any other documents that are necessary to transfer to the Company and/or the holders of the Class L Common Stock good title to such of the Incentive
Shares to be transferred, free and clear of all pledges, 
  

 31 

 security interests, liens, charges, encumbrances, equities, claims and options of whatever nature other than those
imposed under this Agreement, and concurrently with such delivery, the Company and/or the holders of the Common Stock shall deliver to the seller the full amount of the Option Purchase Price for such Securities in cash by certified or bank
cashier’s check. 
  
 (c) The “Option Purchase
Price” for the Incentive Shares to be purchased from such Management Shareholder pursuant to the Purchase Option shall equal the price calculated as set forth below: 
  

					
	 Type of Employment
 Cessation

	  	 Vested Incentive Shares
 Options Purchase Price

	  	 Unvested Incentive
 Shares Option Purchase
 Price

	Resignation or termination for any reason other than Cause	  	Fair Market Value	  	Adjusted Cost Price
			
	Termination with Cause	  	Lesser of Fair Market Value or Adjusted Cost Price	  	Lesser of Fair Market Value or Adjusted Cost Price

  
 Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in connection with the exercise of any Purchase Option pursuant to Section 4.04, the Company may offset from the Option Purchase Price paid to any Management Shareholder the aggregate amount of any outstanding
principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on any indebtedness of such Management Shareholder to the Company. 
  
 Section 4.05. Liquidity Event. (a) If a Liquidity Event has not occurred prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, then the
Quadrangle Entities and the CVC Entities shall each have the right at any time thereafter, upon delivery of a notice to the Company and each other Institutional Shareholder, to cause the Company to engage an investment bank or other financial
advisor of nationally recognized reputation to serve as the Company’s financial advisor (the “Financial Advisor”). Each Shareholder shall, and shall use its best efforts to, cause each director of the Board that such
Shareholder has designated (such best efforts to include, to the extent necessary, removal or replacement of any such director), to vote for, and execute any necessary consents in favor of, such engagement. The Company shall instruct the Financial
Advisor to commence an orderly process to result in a Liquidity Event with the objective of achieving the highest practicable value for the shareholders of the Company (taking into account the relative rights 
  

 32 

 and preferences of the Company Securities as provided for in the Charter). The Company and each Shareholder shall
cooperate with the Financial Advisor in its efforts, and the Company shall prepare such documents and information as may reasonably be required in connection with such process. The Company shall use its best efforts to reach agreement on the optimum
structure and the terms and conditions for the Liquidity Event and will retain independent legal counsel of appropriate expertise. The fees and expenses of the Financial Advisor and such legal counsel shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall
require the Financial Advisor to keep each of the Institutional Shareholders currently advised as to its efforts, any expressions of interest or offers or proposals that are received and other information relevant to the process conducted pursuant
to this Section 4.05(a). 
  
 (b) The Company shall require
the Financial Advisor to deliver to the Company and the Institutional Shareholders a notice (the “Liquidity Event Notice”) within 120 days of the engagement of the Financial Advisor that sets forth the Financial Advisor’s
recommendation as to the Liquidity Event that will achieve the highest practicable value for the shareholders of the Company taking into account the relative rights and preferences of the classes of Company Securities as provided for in the Charter
(the “Recommended Liquidity Event”). The Liquidity Event Notice shall include reasonably detailed information with respect to the terms and conditions of the Recommended Liquidity Event (including with respect to structure,
consideration and the identity of the parties involved) and, if applicable, the forms or current drafts of any proposed definitive agreements with respect thereto. Unless all of the Institutional Shareholders notify the Company within ten days of
the date of the Liquidity Event Notice that they object to the consummation of the Recommended Liquidity Event (in which case neither the Company nor any Shareholder shall have any obligations with respect to the Recommended Liquidity Event pursuant
to this Section 4.05(b)), the Company and each Shareholder shall use its best efforts to consummate the Recommended Liquidity Event as promptly as practicable on terms and conditions that in the aggregate are no less favorable to the
Shareholders than those specified in the Liquidity Event Notice. Such best efforts shall include: 
  
 (i) voting for, consenting to and raising no objections against the Recommended Liquidity Event; 
  
 (ii) entering into such definitive agreements as are
customary for transactions of the nature of the Recommended Liquidity Event; 
  
 (iii) if the Recommended Liquidity Event is structured as a sale of shares of capital stock, agreeing to sell all of such Shareholder’s Common Shares and at the closing of such sale delivering to the 

 

 33 

 purchaser(s) good and valid title to all Common Shares owned by it, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, together with duly executed written instruments of transfer with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the purchaser(s); 
  
 (iv) if the Recommended Liquidity Event is structured as a sale of assets, causing to be executed and
delivered all documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and causing to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest in the purchaser(s) thereof good and marketable title to such assets; and 
  
 (v) if the Recommended Liquidity Event is structured as a
merger or consolidation, waiving any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in conjunction with such merger or consolidation. 
  
 No Shareholder shall be subject to this Section 4.05(b) with respect to any Recommended Liquidity Event that is a sale of the Company and the Subsidiaries (whether
by merger, stock sale, asset sale or otherwise, but not by the First Public Offering) unless all holders of Company Securities of the Company shall receive the same proportion of the aggregate consideration from such sale that such holder would have
received if such aggregate consideration had been distribution by the Company in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in the Charter as in effect immediately prior to such sale of the Company. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
  
 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
  
 Section 5.01. Demand Registration. (a) If at any time following the earlier of (x) 180 days after the
effective date of the registration statement for the First Public Offering and (y) the expiration of the period during which the managing underwriters for the First Public Offering shall prohibit the Company from effecting any other public sale
or distribution of Company Securities, the Company shall receive a joint request from the Quadrangle Entities and the CVC Entities (the “Requesting Shareholders”) that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of
all or any portion of such Requesting Shareholder’s Registrable Securities, and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, then the Company shall promptly give notice of such requested registration (each such request, a
“Demand Registration”) at least 15 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration to the Management Shareholders and thereupon shall use its best efforts to
effect, as expeditiously as possible, the registration under the Securities Act of: 
  
 (i) all Registrable Securities for which the Requesting Shareholders have requested registration under this Section 5.01, and

  

 34 

 (ii) subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 5.01(e) and 5.02, all other
Registrable Securities of the same class as those requested to be registered by the Requesting Shareholders that any Shareholders with rights to request registration under Section 5.02 (all such Shareholders, together with the Requesting
Shareholders, the “Registering Shareholders”) have requested the Company to register by request received by the Company within 15 Business Days after such Shareholders receive the Company’s notice of the Demand Registration,

  
 all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the
intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that, subject to Section 5.01(d), the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than three Demand Registrations for the Institutional
Shareholders, other than Demand Registration to be effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor thereto), for which an unlimited number of Demand Registrations shall be permitted; provided further that the
Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration unless the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration equals or exceeds $15,000,000. In
no event shall the Company be required to effect more than one Demand Registration hereunder within any six-month period.

Shareholders of the identities of the other Registering Shareholders and the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to such
registration, the Requesting Shareholders may revoke such request, without liability to any of the other Registering Shareholders, by providing a notice to the Company revoking such request. 
  
 (c) The Company shall be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with any Demand Registration. 
  
 (d) A Demand
Registration shall not be deemed to have occurred: 
  
 (i) unless the registration statement relating thereto (A) has become effective under the Securities Act and (B) has remained effective for a period of at least 180 days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities
of the Registering Shareholders included in such 
  

 35 

 registration have actually been sold thereunder), provided that such registration statement shall
not be considered a Demand Registration if, after such registration statement becomes effective, (1) such registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental
agency or court and (2) less than 75% of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement have been sold thereunder; or 
  
 (ii) if the Maximum Offering Size is reduced in accordance with Section 5.01(e) such that less than 66 2/3% of the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Shareholders sought to be included in such registration are
included. 
  
 (e) If a Demand Registration involves an
underwritten Public Offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Requesting Shareholders that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (including any securities
that the Company proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold (the
“Maximum Offering Size”), the Company shall include in such registration, in the priority listed below, up to the Maximum Offering Size: 
  
 (i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Institutional Shareholders (allocated, if necessary for the
offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such entities on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such registration by each), 
  
 (ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration by any other Registering Shareholder (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Management Shareholders on the basis of the relative number of
Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such registration by each such Shareholder), and 
  
 (iii) third, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons (including the Company), with such priorities
among them as the Company shall determine. 
  
 (f) Upon notice to
each Requesting Shareholder, the Company may postpone effecting a registration pursuant to this Section 5.01 on one occasion during any period of twelve consecutive months for a reasonable time specified in 
  

 36 

 the notice but not exceeding 90 days (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (i) an investment banking
firm of recognized national standing shall advise the Company and the Requesting Shareholders in writing that effecting the registration would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of the Company the preparation of which had then
been commenced or (ii) the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the period specified in such notice the Company reasonably believes would not be in the best interests of the Company.

  
 Section 5.02. Piggyback Registration. (a) If
at any time after the First Public Offering the Company proposes to register any Company Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-8 or S-4, or any successor forms, relating to Common Shares issuable upon exercise of
employee stock options or in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company or in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Company of another Person), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall
each such time give prompt notice at least 30 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration to each Shareholder, which notice shall set forth such Shareholder’s rights under this
Section 5.02 and shall offer such Shareholder the opportunity to include in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities of the same class or series as those proposed to be registered as each such Shareholder may request (a
“Piggyback Registration”), subject to the provisions of Section 5.02(b). Upon the request of any such Shareholder made within 15 Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the number
of Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Shareholder), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to
register by all such Shareholders, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that (i) if such registration involves an underwritten Public Offering, all such
Shareholders requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 5.04(f)(i) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company or the
Requesting Shareholders, as applicable, and (ii) if, at any time after giving notice of its intention to register any Company Securities pursuant to this Section 5.02(a) 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 securities, the Company shall give notice to all such Shareholders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration. No registration effected under this Section 5.02 shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration to the extent required by Section 5.01. The Company shall pay
all Registration Expenses in connection with each Piggyback Registration. 
  

 37 

 (b) If a Piggyback Registration involves an underwritten Public Offering (other than any Demand
Registration, in which case the provisions with respect to priority of inclusion in such offering set forth in Section 5.01(e) shall apply) and the managing underwriter advises the Company that, in its view, the number of Shares that the
Company and such Shareholders intend to include in such registration exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, the Company shall include in such registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: 
  
 (i) first, so much of the Company Securities proposed to be
registered for the account of the Company as would not cause the offering to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, 
  
 (ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any Shareholders pursuant to Section 5.02
(allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Shareholders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such registration by
each), provided, that, the managing underwriter may select shares of Registrable Securities for inclusion, or exclude shares completely, in such Piggyback Registration on a basis other than a pro rata basis if, in the reasonable opinion of
such underwriter, selection on such other basis, or inclusion of such shares, would be material to the success of the offering, and 
  
 (iii) third, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons with such priorities among them as the Company
shall determine. 
  
 Section 5.03. Lock-Up Agreements.
If any registration of Registrable Securities shall be effected in connection with a Public Offering, neither the Company nor any Shareholder shall effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, of any Company
Securities or other security of the Company (except as part of such Public Offering) during the period beginning 14 days prior to the effective date of the applicable registration statement until the earlier of (i) such time as the Company and
the lead managing underwriter shall agree, which period of time shall be the lock-up period applicable to all shareholders of the Company, and (ii) 180 days (such earlier period, the “Lock-Up Period” for the applicable
registration statement). 
  

 38 

 Section 5.04. Registration Procedures. Whenever Shareholders request that any Registrable
Securities be registered pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02, subject to the provisions of such Sections, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable, and, in connection with any such request: 
  
 (a) The Company shall as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies
or that counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such filed registration statement to become and remain effective for a period of not less than 180 days, or in the case of a shelf registration statement, one year (or such shorter period in which all of the Registrable
Securities of the Registering Shareholders included in such registration statement shall have actually been sold thereunder). 
  
 (b) Prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall, if requested, furnish to each
participating Shareholder and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of such registration statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter the Company shall furnish to such Shareholder
and underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such
registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 or Rule 430A under the Securities Act and such other documents as such Shareholder or underwriter may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Shareholder. Each Shareholder shall have the right to request that the Company modify any information contained in such registration statement, amendment and
supplement thereto pertaining to such Shareholder and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with such request, provided that the Company shall not have any obligation so to modify any information if the Company
reasonably expects that so doing would cause the prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. 
  
 (c) After the filing of the registration statement, the Company shall
(i) cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 
  

 39 

 Securities Act, (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Registering Shareholders thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to such
prospectus and (iii) promptly notify each Registering Shareholder holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC or any state securities commission and take all reasonable
actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered. 
  
 (d) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such
jurisdictions in the United States as any Registering Shareholder holding such Registrable Securities reasonably (in light of such Shareholder’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable such Shareholder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Shareholder, provided that the Company shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5.04(d), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction. 
  
 (e) The Company shall immediately notify each Registering Shareholder holding
such 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 occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or
amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and promptly prepare and make available to each such Shareholder and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment. 
  
 (f) (i) The Institutional Shareholders shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to select an underwriter or
underwriters in connection with any Public Offering resulting from the exercise by the Institutional Shareholders of a Demand Registration which underwriter or underwriters may include an Affiliate of an Institutional Shareholder and (ii) the
Company shall select an underwriter or underwriters in connection with any other Public Offering. In connection with 
  

 40 

 any Public Offering, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary
form) and take such all other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in any such Public Offering, including the engagement of a “qualified independent
underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the NASD. 
  
 (g) Upon execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall make available for
inspection by any Registering Shareholder and any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a registration statement being filed by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.04 and any attorney, accountant or other professional
retained by any such Shareholder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall
be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with
such registration statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is
necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such registration statement or (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Registering Shareholder
agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it or its Affiliates as the basis for any market transactions in the Company Securities unless and until such information is
made generally available to the public. Each Registering Shareholder further agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential. 
  
 (h) The Company shall furnish to each Registering Shareholder and to each such underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Shareholder or
underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the kind
customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as a majority of such Shareholders or the managing underwriter therefor reasonably requests. 
  

 41 

 (i) The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations
of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement or such other document covering a period of twelve months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration
statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder. 
  
 (j) The Company may require each such Registering Shareholder promptly to furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding the distribution of
the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration. 
  
 (k) Each such Registering Shareholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event
of the kind described in Section 5.04(e), such Shareholder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Shareholder’s receipt of
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.04(e), and, if so directed by the Company, such Shareholder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than any permanent file copies then in such
Shareholder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such registration
statement shall be maintained effective (including the period referred to in Section 5.04(a)) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of notice pursuant to Section 5.04(e) to the date when the
Company shall make available to such Shareholder a prospectus supplemented or amended to conform with the requirements of Section 5.04(e). 
  
 (l) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange
or quotation system on which any of the Registrable Securities are then listed or traded. 
  
 (m) The Company shall have appropriate officers of the Company (i) prepare and make presentations at any “road shows” and before analysts and rating agencies, as the case may be, (ii) take other
actions to obtain ratings for any Registrable Securities and (iii) otherwise use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities.

  

 42 

 (n) The Company will provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all
Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement. 
  
 Section 5.05. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Registering Shareholder holding
Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement, its officers, directors, employees, partners and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (“Damages”) caused
by or relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any
amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such Damages are caused by or related to any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission so made based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Shareholder or on such
Shareholder’s behalf expressly for use therein, provided that, with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus, or in any prospectus, as the case may be, the
indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall not apply to the extent that any Damages result from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) was not sent or given to the
Person asserting any such Damages at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is determined that the Company has provided such prospectus to such Shareholder and it was the
responsibility of such Shareholder to provide such Person with a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) and such current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as
the case may be) would have cured the defect giving rise to such Damages. The Company also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Shareholders provided in this Section 5.05. 
  

 43 

 Section 5.06. Indemnification by Participating Shareholders. Each Registering Shareholder
holding Registrable Securities included in any registration statement agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Shareholder, but only (i) with respect to information furnished in writing by
such Shareholder or on such Shareholder’s behalf expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus or (ii) to the
extent that any Damages result from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) was not sent or given to the Person asserting any such Damages at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is determined that it was the responsibility of such Shareholder to provide such Person with a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented
prospectus, as the case may be) and such current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. Each such Shareholder
also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 5.06. As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Article
5, the Company may require that it shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold it harmless to the extent customarily provided by underwriters with respect to similar securities. No
Registering Shareholder shall be liable under this Section 5.06 for any Damages in excess of the net proceeds realized by such Shareholder in the sale of Registrable Securities of such Shareholder to which such Damages relate. 
  
 Section 5.07. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any
proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Article 5, such Person (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the
Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, 
  

 44 

 but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the
Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought
hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding. 
  
 Section 5.08. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article 5 is unavailable to the
Indemnified Parties in respect of any Damages, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages (i) as
between the Company and the Registering Shareholders holding Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement on the one hand and the underwriters on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company and such Shareholders on the one hand and the underwriters on the other, from the offering of the Registrable Securities, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and such Shareholders on the one hand and of such underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations and (ii) as between the Company on the one hand and each such Shareholder on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each such Shareholder in
connection with such statements or omissions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and such 
  

 45 

 Shareholders on the one hand and such underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total
proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and such Shareholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such underwriters, in each
case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and such Shareholders on the one hand and of such underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and such Shareholders or by such underwriters. The relative fault of the Company on the
one hand and of each such Shareholder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 The Company and the Registering Shareholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 5.08 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.08, no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any Damages that such underwriter has otherwise been required to
pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no Registering Shareholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities
of such Shareholder were offered to the public (less underwriters’ discounts and commissions) exceeds the amount of any Damages that such Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. Each Registering Shareholder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 5.08 is several in the proportion that the proceeds of the offering received by such Shareholder bears to the total proceeds of the
offering received by all such Registering Shareholders and not joint. 
  

 46 

 Section 5.09. Participation in Public Offering. No Person may participate in any Public
Offering hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the provisions of this Agreement in respect of registration rights.

  
 Section 5.10. Other Indemnification.
Indemnification similar to that specified herein (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Registering Shareholder participating therein with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities
under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act. 
  
 Section 5.11. Cooperation by the Company. If any Shareholder shall transfer any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall
cooperate, to the extent commercially reasonable, with such Shareholder and shall provide to such Shareholder such information as such Shareholder shall reasonably request. 
  
 Section 5.12. No Transfer of Registration Rights. None of the rights of Shareholders under this Article 5 shall
be assignable by any Shareholder to any Person acquiring Securities in any Public Offering or pursuant to Rule 144. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
  
 CERTAIN COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS 
  
 Section 6.01. Confidentiality. (a) Each Shareholder agrees that Confidential Information (as defined below) furnished and to be furnished
to it was and will be made available in connection with such Shareholder’s investment in the Company. Each Shareholder agrees that it will use, and that it will cause any Person to whom Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to clause
(i) below to use, the Confidential Information only in connection with its investment in the Company and not for any other purpose (including, without limitation, to disadvantage competitively the Company or any Management Shareholder). Each
Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person, provided that Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to such Shareholder’s Representatives (as defined below)
in 

  

 47 

 
the normal course of the performance of their duties or to any financial institution providing credit to such Shareholder, (ii) to the extent required
by applicable law, rule or regulation (including complying with any oral or written questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process to which a Shareholder is subject,
provided that such Shareholder gives the Company prompt notice of such request(s), to the extent practicable, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or similar relief (and the Shareholder shall cooperate with such efforts
by the Company, and shall in any event make only the minimum disclosure required by such law, rule or regulation)), (iii) to any Person to whom such Shareholder is contemplating a Transfer of its Company Securities (provided that such
Transfer would not be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement and as long as such potential transferee is advised of the confidential nature of such information and agrees to be bound by a confidentiality agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and consistent with the provisions hereof), (iv) to any regulatory authority or rating agency to which the Shareholder or any of its Affiliates is subject or with which it has regular dealings, as long as
such authority or agency is advised of the confidential nature of such information or (v) if the prior written consent of the Board shall have been obtained. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the use (subject, to the extent possible, to a
protective order) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any claim by or against the Company or any Shareholder. 
  
 (b) “Confidential Information” means any information concerning the Company and Persons that are or become its Subsidiaries or the
financial condition, business, operations or prospects of the Company and Persons that are or become its Subsidiaries in the possession of or furnished to any Shareholder (including, without limitation by virtue of its present or former right to
designate a director of the Company), provided that the term “Confidential Information” does not include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a
Shareholder or its partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, investment advisers or representatives (all such persons being collectively referred to as “Representatives”) in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is
or was available to such Shareholder on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Shareholder or its Representatives by the Company or (iii) was or becomes available to such Shareholder on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Company, provided that such source is or was (at the time of receipt of the relevant information) not, to the best of such Shareholder’s knowledge, bound by a confidentiality agreement with (or other confidentiality
obligation to) the Company or another Person. 
  

 48 

 Section 6.02. Information. So long as any Company Securities remain outstanding, the Company
shall deliver to each Five Percent Shareholder: 
  
 (a) as soon
as practicable and, in any event within 30 days after the end of each month, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Subsidiaries as at the end of such month and the related unaudited statement of operations and cash flow for
such month, and for the portion of the fiscal year then ended, in each case prepared in accordance with GAAP, setting forth in comparative form the figures for the corresponding month and portion of the previous fiscal year, and the figures for the
corresponding month and portion of the then current fiscal year as in the Company’s annual operating budget;

 49 

 (d) promptly upon their becoming available, copies of all financial statements, reports, notices and

 Section 6.04. Business Opportunity. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Company’s Charter, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the

marketing any products or services that compete, directly or indirectly, with those of the Company, (ii) investing or owning any interest publicly or privately in, or developing a business relationship with, any Person engaged in the same or
similar activities or lines of business as, or otherwise in competition with, the Company or (iii) doing business with any client or customer of the Company (each of the activities referred to in clauses (i)-(iii), a “Competing
Activity”); provided that, with respect to each Competing Activity in which an Institutional Shareholder engages, such Institutional Shareholder shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to
(A) avoid taking any actions that would be reasonably likely to have a significant adverse regulatory impact on the 
  

 50 

 Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (B) implement appropriate internal controls to protect
Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the obligations of such Institutional Shareholder pursuant to Section 6.01. 
  
 Section 6.05. First Public Offering. In connection with the First Public Offering, upon the request of the Institutional Shareholders, the
Company and each Shareholder shall take all such actions as may be necessary (including voting for, or executing written consents in favor of, any merger, consolidation or other transaction) to effect a recapitalization of the Company (which
recapitalization shall become effective prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the First Public Offering) pursuant to which (a) the Class A Common Stock and Class L Common Stock shall be combined into a single class of common
stock (the “New Common Stock”) with each Class A Common Share and Class L Common Share being recapitalized into an equal number of shares of the New Common Stock, and (b) the Company shall issue in respect of each Class L
Common Share outstanding as of immediately prior to such recapitalization (in addition to the shares of New Common Stock referred to in clause (a)) a number of shares of New Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate amount of
Unpaid Yield (as defined in the Charter) and Unreturned Original Cost (as defined in the Charter) with respect to such Class L Common Share as of immediately prior to the consummation of such recapitalization (provided that the Company may
elect to pay cash in lieu of issuing any fractional shares of New Common Stock). For purposes of the foregoing clause (b), each share of New Common Stock shall be deemed to have a value equal to the public offering price (net of any underwriting
discounts or commissions) of a share of New Common Stock in the First Public Offering or such other value as the Company and the Institutional Shareholders may mutually agree upon after taking into consideration the shares of New Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to such clause (b). 
  
 Section 6.06.
Appointment of CVC Shareholder Representative. (a) Each CVC Entity hereby covenants and agrees that CVC Equity (the “CVC Representative”) is fully and exclusively authorized, empowered and appointed to serve as its sole
representative and agent, to take any and all action, including the execution and delivery of any documents, and make any and all decisions and determinations that may be required or permitted to be taken or made hereunder by such CVC Entity, to
perform all of the obligations of such CVC Entity required or permitted to be performed hereunder, and to execute, deliver and perform on behalf of such CVC Entity any and all amendments hereto. Any such action, decision or determination taken or
made by the CVC Representative, and any such amendment, shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding on such CVC Entity as if such CVC Entity had personally taken such action or made such decision or determination in its, his or her individual (or,
as applicable, fiduciary) capacity. 
  

 51 

 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) each CVC Entity hereby irrevocably
relinquishes its, his or her right to act independently and other than through the CVC Representative, and (ii) no CVC Entity shall have any right by virtue of any provision in this Agreement or otherwise to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to any matter hereunder, any such rights being irrevocably and exclusively delegated to the CVC Representative, who, acting in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be the sole party
entitled to enforce any rights of such CVC Entity with respect to any matter hereunder. 
  
 (c) The CVC Representative hereby acknowledges the foregoing authorization and appointment, agrees to serve as such and covenants and agrees with each other party hereto that it will fulfill all its obligations
hereunder. All actions taken, notices given or received and documents executed by the CVC Representative pursuant to the authority granted hereunder may be relied upon by the Company and the Shareholders, and neither the Company nor any Shareholder
shall be required to make any inquiry regarding such actions, notices or documents. 
  
 (d) The Shareholder serving as CVC Representative may be replaced with another Shareholder at any time and from time to time by the vote of a majority of the Common Shares held by all CVC Entities. Such successor CVC
Representative shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the predecessor CVC Representative, and such predecessor CVC Representative shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The successor
CVC Representative shall notify the Company and each Shareholder as promptly as practicable after such replacement.
