 Attention: Chinh Chu 
 Ladies and
Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger
Agreement”), by and between Silgan Holdings Inc. (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation, and Graham Packaging Company Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which the Company will merge with
and into the Parent with the Parent being the surviving corporation. In the event of any conflict between this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Merger Agreement, the terms of the Merger Agreement shall prevail.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement. 
 By
execution below, simultaneous with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Parent, and Blackstone Capital Partners III Merchant Banking Fund L.P. (the “Stockholder”) agree as follows: 

1. Board Nominee. (a) Pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated as of
November 6, 2001 (the “Principals Stockholders Agreement”), by and among R. Philip Silver (“Co-Founder 1”), D. Greg Horrigan (“Co-Founder 2” and, together with Co-Founder 1, the
“Co-Founders”) and the Parent, the Group (as such term is defined in the Principals Stockholders Agreement and generally including the Co-Founders and their affiliates, family members, trusts and estates) has the right to nominate
for election all of the members of the Board of Directors of the Parent (the “Parent Board”) so long as the Group holds an aggregate of at least one-half of the shares of the Parent’s common stock, par value $.01 per share
(“Common Stock”) held by it on February 14, 1997 (as adjusted, if necessary to take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, subdivision or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Parent).
Pursuant to the terms of that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “Stockholders Agreement”), by and among the Stockholder, the Co-Founders and the Parent, the Stockholder is entitled to designate for
nomination one individual (the “Stockholder Nominee”) as a member of the Parent Board, who the Co-Founders shall subsequently nominate for election as a member of the Parent Board pursuant to the terms of the Principals Stockholders
Agreement. 
 (b) Parent shall take all action necessary to cause the Stockholder Nominee to be appointed to the Parent Board as
a Class I Director, effective as of the first day immediately following the day on which the Effective Time occurs. 
 (c) (i)
In the event that the Group no longer has the right to nominate to stand for election all of the directors of the Parent Board under the terms of Section 2.1(a) of the Principals Stockholders Agreement, until such date that the Stockholder
holds less than one-third of the number of 

 
shares of Common Stock held by it in the aggregate as of the Effective Time of the Merger (as adjusted, if necessary, to take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
subdivision or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Parent) (such date, the “Termination Date”), the Stockholder shall have the right to designate a Stockholder Nominee and upon such designation by the Stockholder such
Stockholder Nominee shall be nominated by the Parent, in accordance with the Parent’s nominating and governance policies and so long as such Stockholder Nominee is reasonably acceptable to the Parent Board or any nominating committee thereof,
to stand for election as a member of the Parent Board. Upon such nomination by the Parent, such Nominee shall stand for election as a member of the Parent Board in accordance with the Parent Certificate. In the event that a Stockholder Nominee does
not meet the requirements of the Parent’s nominating and governance policies and/or is not reasonably acceptable to the Parent Board or any nominating committee thereof, the Stockholder shall have the right to designate a different individual
as a Stockholder Nominee until a Stockholder Nominee does meet the nominating and governance policies of the Parent and/or is reasonably acceptable to the Parent Board or any nominating committee thereof, as applicable. The Stockholder Nominee shall
be nominated by the Parent Board or any nominating committee thereof as a Class I Director (as such term is defined in the Parent Certificate). Parent hereby agrees that Mr. Chinh Chu (“Mr. Chu”) is deemed reasonably acceptable
for purposes hereof. 
 (ii) In the event that the Group no longer has the right to nominate to stand for election all of the
directors of the Parent Board under the terms of Section 2.1(a) of the Principals Stockholders Agreement, prior to the Termination Date, the Stockholder shall provide Parent with its designee for Stockholder Nominee within 30 days of receipt of
a written request from Parent for such designee’s name, provided that Parent shall not deliver such notice more than 90 days prior to the applicable annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company. If the Stockholder fails to designate a
Stockholder Nominee to stand for election as a member of the Parent Board at such meeting within such 30 day period and the Group no longer has the right to nominate all of the directors to stand for election to the Parent Board under the terms of
Section 2.1(a) of the Principals Stockholders Agreement, then the Parent shall have the right, in lieu of the Stockholder, to nominate to stand for election as a member of the Parent Board, in accordance with the Company’s nominating and
governance policies and the Parents Certificate, such individual that the Stockholder so failed to designate. 
 (iii) If the
Stockholder Nominee is not Mr. Chu, on the first anniversary of such Stockholder Nominee either being elected or appointed to the Parent Board, if such Stockholder Nominee is not reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Parent Board
(excluding the Stockholder Nominee), then the Stockholder shall cause such Stockholder Nominee to resign immediately. The Stockholder may designate an individual to be nominated to fill such vacancy created by the resignation of such Stockholder
Nominee in accordance with the terms of Section 1(c)(i) of this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, as applicable, but only so long as the Stockholder has the right to designate for nomination one individual to the Parent Board pursuant to
the terms hereof or thereof, as applicable, and provided that if any such replacement Stockholder is not Mr. Chu, if on the first anniversary of such replacement Stockholder Nominee either being elected or appointed to the Parent Board, such
Stockholder Nominee is not reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Parent Board (excluding the Stockholder Nominee), then the Stockholder shall cause such Stockholder Nominee to resign immediately and the Stockholder may designate an individual
to be nominated as provided above in this clause (iii) and such Stockholder Nominee shall be subject to removal as provided herein. 
 (d) In the event that (A) a Stockholder Nominee dies, resigns or is otherwise removed by the Stockholder and (B) the Group no longer has the right to nominate to stand for election all of the
directors of the Parent Board under the terms of Section 2.1(a) of the Principals Stockholders Agreement then, prior to the Termination Date, the Stockholder shall have the right to designate such Nominee’s replacement, in accordance with
the Parent’s nominating and governance policies, the Parent 

  
 2 

 
Certificate and the Parent’s bylaws and so long as such Stockholder Nominee is reasonably acceptable to the Parent Board or any nominating committee thereof. In the event that a replacement
Nominee is not reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Board or any nominating committee thereof, the Stockholder shall have the right to designate a different individual as a replacement Nominee until a replacement Nominee is reasonably satisfactory
to the Parent Board or any nominating committee thereof. 
 (e) Immediately following the Termination Date, the Stockholder will
cause the Stockholder Nominee to resign as a member of the Parent Board. 
 (f) Parent hereby agrees that in addition to any
regular cash annual retainer fees and meeting fees normally paid to all members of the Parent Board, if any annual awards of restricted stocks or restricted stock units or any other equity awards are granted to non-employee directors of the Parent
Board, in lieu thereof, the Stockholder Nominee will be entitled to an additional cash fee in an amount equal to the fair market value thereof, determined as of the date of grant in accordance with Parent’s practices. 

2. Standstill. (a) From the Effective Time until such time as the Stockholder beneficially owns less than 5% of the outstanding
voting securities of Parent (such period, the “Standstill Period”) the Stockholder agrees that without the prior written consent of the Parent Board, none of the Stockholder or its affiliates will in any manner, directly or
indirectly, (i) by purchase or otherwise, acquire, or agree to acquire, ownership (including, but not limited to, beneficial ownership) of any equity securities issued by Parent or any direct or indirect rights (including, without limitation,
any convertible, derivative or synthetic securities) or options to acquire (or otherwise act in concert with any person which so acquires, offers to acquire or agrees to acquire) such ownership (other than solely from a stock split, dividend or
recapitalization; or any rights granted to all stockholders of Parent); (ii) submit any proposal for, or otherwise offer to enter into, a transaction with Parent involving the acquisition (by merger, tender offer, purchase, statutory share
exchange or otherwise) of ownership (including, but not limited to, beneficial ownership) of any securities issued by Parent; (iii) acquire or effect control of Parent or directly or indirectly form, join, participate or encourage the formation
of any group (other than with its affiliates) within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to any voting securities of Parent or in order to acquire
or affect control of Parent; (iv) other than with respect to the election of the Stockholder Nominee, directly or indirectly solicit proxies or become a participant in any proxy solicitation or any election contest or seek to advise or
influence any person with respect to the voting of any securities issued by Parent; or (v) initiate, propose or solicit votes for stockholder proposals or induce or attempt to induce any other person to initiate any stockholders proposal (other
than any stockholder proposals recommended by the Parent Board); (vi) call or seek to have called any meeting of the stockholders of Parent or execute any written consent in lieu of a meeting of holders of any securities of Parent;
(vii) other than the Stockholder Nominee, seek election or seek to place a representative on the Parent Board or seek the removal of any member of the Parent Board, in any case alone or in concert with others; (viii) otherwise, directly or
indirectly, alone or in concert with others, seek to control the management, Board or policies of Parent (provided that the designation of the Stockholder Nominee pursuant hereto and such Stockholder Nominee’s service on the Parent Board shall
not be deemed a breach of this clause (viii)); or (ix) make any public announcement with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that the restrictions contained in clause (i) above shall not in any way limit the activities of any
affiliates of the Stockholder in the businesses distinct from the private equity business. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing
clause (a), the Standstill Period shall terminate and the restrictions on the Stockholder set forth in clause (a) above shall have no further force and effect in the event that (i) Parent files a petition in bankruptcy or for similar
relief, is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, consents to the appointment of a receiver or similar official, makes a general assignment for the 

  
 3 

 
benefit of its creditors, or a bankruptcy petition with regard to Parent is not discharged or denied within 90 days; (ii) Parent is in material breach of the registration rights agreement
entered into between Parent and Stockholder as of the date hereof and such breach is not cured within 30 days of written notice thereof, or (iii) Parent breaches in any material respect its obligations under the Stockholders Agreement, or fails
to include on the slate of directors the Stockholder Nominee nominated by the Co-Founders pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and the Principals Stockholder Agreement and in accordance with the Parent Certificate, or support such
Stockholder Nominee’s election to the Parent Board, which breach or failure is not cured within 30 days of written notice thereof. 
 3. Voting Agreement. (a) The Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the Standstill Period, at any meeting of the stockholders of Parent, however called, including any adjournment or
postponement thereof, the Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that the Covered Shares (as hereinafter defined) are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the
stockholders of Parent is sought, (i) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Shares beneficially owned by the Stockholder as of the applicable record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a
quorum; and (ii) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of such Covered Shares as of the applicable record date: 
 (A) in favor of any slate of nominees standing for election to the Parent Board that is recommended by the Parent Board and submitted to the vote of the stockholders of Parent; 

(B) with respect to any Approved Transaction (as hereinafter defined), either, at the Stockholder’s sole discretion,
(I) in favor of such Approved Transaction or (II) proportionate with the manner in which all holders of Common Stock (other than the Stockholder) vote with respect to such matter; and 

(C) with respect to any Disapproved Transaction (as hereinafter defined), against such Disapproved Transaction.

 (b) For purposes hereof: 
 (i) “Approved Transaction” means any merger, consolidation or other business combination, tender offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, reorganization or any transaction involving the
purchase or acquisition of equity or direct or indirect purchase or acquisition of assets recommended by the Parent Board and submitted to the vote of the stockholders of Parent. 

(ii) “beneficial ownership” of any securities means ownership, directly or indirectly, through any contract,
arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, where the Stockholder has or shares with another Person (A) voting power which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security; and/or (B) investment power which
includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition, of such security; and shall otherwise be interpreted in accordance with the term “beneficial ownership” as defined in Rule 13d-3 adopted by the SEC under the Exchange Act;
provided that for purposes of determining beneficial ownership, the Stockholder shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any securities which may be acquired by such Person pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the
exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise (irrespective of whether the right to acquire such securities is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time, including the passage of time in excess of
60 days, the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing). The terms “beneficially own”, “beneficial owner” and “beneficially owned”
shall have a correlative meaning. 

  
 4 

 (iii) “Covered Shares” means shares of securities of Parent beneficially
owned by the Stockholder. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the securities of Parent by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange of shares or
the like, the term “Covered Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged
or which are received in such transaction. 
 (iv) “Disapproved Transaction” means any merger, consolidation
or other business combination, tender offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, reorganization or any transaction involving the purchase or acquisition of shares or direct or indirect purchase or acquisition of assets submitted to the vote of the
stockholders of Parent but not recommended by the Parent Board. 
 (c) The Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except
for this Agreement, it shall not (i) enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement, voting trust or similar arrangement with respect to any Covered Shares, and (b) grant at any time while this
Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to any Covered Shares (other than as contemplated by clause (a) above). 
 4. Remedies. (a) In the event that any covenant or agreement in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, each party hereto agrees that, in addition to any other remedy at
law or in equity, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order, specific performance or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically
the terms and provisions hereof. Each party hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection
with such remedy. 
 (b) All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof
at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party.

notice delivered to the Company (a “Demand Notice”) that the Company register under the Securities Act all or any portion of the Registrable Securities then held by Holders, for
sale in the manner specified in such notice (including, but not limited to, an underwritten public offering) (a “Demand Registration”). In each such case, the Demand Notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities for
which registration is requested and the proposed manner of disposition of such securities. 
 (ii) The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of a Demand Notice a registration statement for the public offering and sale, in accordance with the method of disposition specified
by Holders, of the number of Registrable Securities specified in such notice, and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within sixty (60) days after its filing. Such
registration statement may be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form that the Company is eligible to use and that is reasonably acceptable to the managing underwriter, if any; provided, that if the Company is a WKSI, an automatic shelf
registration on Form S-3 will, at the request of Holders, cover an unspecified number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company and Holders and the Company shall file such a shelf registration statement within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of a request by the Holders therefor; provided further that if requested at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Rights Effective Date, the Company shall file such a shelf registration statement on the Rights Effective
Date. 
 (iii) The Company shall not have any obligation hereunder to register any Registrable Securities under
Section 2(a)(ii) unless it shall have received a request from Holders to register at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by all of the Holders as of the date of such request. 

(iv) If the Company is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register Registrable Securities in a registration initiated
upon the demand of Holders pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of this Agreement and the managing underwriters, if any, for such offering advise that the inclusion of all securities sought to be registered pursuant to Section 2 hereof may
interfere with an orderly sale and distribution of or may materially adversely affect the price of such offering, then the Company will include in such offering (x) in the period prior to the first anniversary of the Rights Effective Date,
subject to Section 4(e), first, the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by Holders pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), second, the shares of Common Stock of third party stockholders that are entitled
to registration rights under Other Registration Rights Agreements (“Third Party Securities”), allocated pro rata among the Third Party Securities based on the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each such party on
the date that the Demand Notice is received by the Company which the managing underwriters, if any, advise will not likely have such effect, and third, all other securities requested or proposed to be included in such registration
statement (including shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company); and (y) commencing on the date after the first anniversary of the Rights Effective Date, subject to Section 4(e), first, the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included by Holders pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), as well as all other Third Party Securities, allocated pro rata among the Registrable Securities and Third Party Securities based on the number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by each such party on the date that the Demand Notice is received by the Company which the managing underwriters, if any, advise will not likely have such effect, and second, all other securities
requested or proposed to be included in such registration (including shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company). 

  
 3 

 (v) Upon the demand of Holders pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) made at any time and
from time to time, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of shares of Common Stock off of an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a
“Shelf Takedown”), including, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(b), an underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holders may not demand a Shelf Takedown for an offering that will result in
the imposition of a lockup on the Company and the Holders unless the shares requested to be sold by Holders in such takedown have an aggregate market value (based on the most recent closing price of the Common Stock at the time of the demand) of at
least $100 million. 
 (vi) Upon the demand of Holders, the Company will file and seek the effectiveness of a post-effective
amendment to an existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 in order to register up to the number of shares previously taken down off of such shelf by such Holders and not yet “reloaded” onto such shelf registration statement. The
Holders and the Company will consult and coordinate with each other in order to accomplish such replenishments from time to time in a sensible manner. 
 (b) The obligations of the Company to effect, or to take any action to effect, a Demand Registration or an underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be limited as follows: 

(i) Prior to the date that is the first anniversary of the Rights Effective Date, Holders may require the Company to effect no more than
two (2) Demand Registrations or underwritten Shelf Takedowns in the aggregate; 
 (ii) During the period between the first
and second anniversaries of the Rights Effective Date, Holders may require the Company to effect one (1) Demand Registration or underwritten Shelf Takedowns; 
 (iii) If (A) the Price Condition has not been achieved by the second anniversary of the Rights Effective Date, and (B) Holders continue to hold at all times a number of shares of Common Stock
that exceeds 50% of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Holders in the aggregate as a result of the Merger, then commencing on the day immediately following the second anniversary of the Rights Effective Date, and continuing until the earlier of
(Y) the fifth anniversary of the Rights Effective Date, and (Z) the day after the satisfaction of the Price Condition, Holders may require the Company to effect one (1) additional Demand Registration or underwritten Shelf Takedown.

 (iv) In the event that less than 60% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in any registration statement
pursuant to Section 2(a) are not included in such registration as a result of the provisions of Section 4(e), then such registration shall not count for purposes of this Section 2(b). 

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, until the five year anniversary of the Rights Effective Date, there shall be no limit on the number of
non-underwritten Shelf Takedowns that a Holder may request (but after such date, Holders shall no longer have the right to make any such requests), and, to the extent that Registrable Securities are not covered by an effective shelf registration on
Form S-3, the Holders shall be entitled to demand that the Company effect such a shelf-registration, notwithstanding the limits set forth in this Section 2(b) and no such demand for a shelf registration statement shall count

  
 4 

 
against the limits set forth in this Section 2(b). Persons receiving in-kind distributions of shares of Common Stock from Holders shall be permitted to participate in an offering of their
shares on a non-underwritten Shelf Takedown and shall be considered “Holders Indemnitees” pursuant to Section 10(a) solely for such purpose. In addition, for purposes of determining the number of Demand Registrations or underwritten
Shelf Takedowns that the Company may be required to make during an applicable specified period pursuant to this Section 2(b), any requests made during the applicable specified time period shall count only towards the number of Demand
Registrations or underwritten Shelf Takedowns that may be required to be effected during such specified time period and the Company shall be obligated to effect any such Demand Registration or underwritten Shelf Takedown, notwithstanding that the
Demand Registration or underwritten Shelf Takedown may not be effected until after such specified time period. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to defer or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement relating to any registration requested under Section 2(a) for a reasonable
period of time not to exceed 90 days if a prior registration statement of the Company for an underwritten, public offering by the Company of its securities was declared effective by the SEC less than 120 days prior to the anticipated effective date
of the requested registration. 
 (d) No registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2 shall relieve the
Company of its obligation (if any) to effect registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3. 
  

	3.	INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION.

(a) After the three (3) month anniversary of the Rights Effective Date, and until the date that is the fifth anniversary of the
Rights Effective Date, subject to the other restrictions contained in this Section 3, if the Company proposes, other than pursuant to Section 2, to register any equity securities of the Company (collectively, “Other
Securities”) for public sale under the Securities Act (whether proposed to be offered for sale by the Company or by any other Person) on a form and in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public
under the Securities Act, it will give prompt written notice (which notice shall specify the intended method or methods of disposition) to Holders of its intention to do so (such notice, an “Incidental Notice”), and upon the written
request of Holders delivered to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the giving of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by Holders) the Company will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect, in connection with the registration of the Other Securities, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders (a
“Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that: 
 (i) if, at any time after giving such
written notice of its intention to register Other Securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such Other Securities,
the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to Holders, if they requested registration, and thereupon the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register such Registrable Securities in connection with the
registration of such Other Securities (but not from its obligation to pay Registration Expenses to the extent incurred in connection therewith as provided in Section 11), without prejudice, however, to the rights (if any) of Holders to request
that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 2; 

  
 5 

 (ii) the Company will not be required to effect any registration of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 3 if the Company shall have been advised by the managing underwriter for the offering selected by the Company that, in such firm’s opinion, a registration of Registrable Securities and other securities of the
Company at that time may interfere with an orderly sale and distribution of the securities being sold in such offering or materially and adversely affect the price of such securities; provided, however, that if an offering of some but
not all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Holders and securities of all other Persons having rights to include securities held by them in such registration would not adversely affect the distribution or price of the
securities to be sold in the offering in the opinion of such firm, then the Company will include in such offering, subject to Section 4(e): first, the Other Securities to be registered for the Company’s account, second, the
Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Section 3 as well as all other shares of Common Stock of third party stockholders that are entitled to registration rights under Other Registration Rights Agreements, allocated pro
rata among the Registrable Securities and Third Party Securities based on the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holders and third party stockholders beneficially own as of the date of the Incidental Notice, and third, all Other
Securities requested to be included in such registration; provided, further, that during the period that is between the six month anniversary of the Rights Effective Date and the first anniversary of the Rights Effective Date, in a
Piggyback Registration, subject to Section 4(e), Holders shall have priority over Third Party Securities to be included in such registration; and 
 (iii) the Company shall not be required to give notice of, or effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3 incidental to, the registration of any of its securities in
connection with mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, exchange offers, subscription offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock options or other employee benefit or compensation plans. 

(b) No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the Company of its obligations (if any) to
effect registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2. 
  

	4.	HOLDBACKS; OTHER RESTRICTIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 

 (a) Holders hereby covenant and agree with the Company that Holders shall not effect, if requested by the managing underwriters of an underwritten offering, any public sale or distribution of equity
securities of the Company, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (except pursuant to this Agreement) during the ten (10) day period prior to, and during the sixty (60) day period beginning on, (i) the
effective date of the registration statement relating to the underwritten offering of equity securities of the Company or (ii) in the event of a shelf registration statement, the consummation of an underwritten takedown, or such other period as
the managing underwriter, if any, may require. 
 (b) The Company covenants and agrees with the Holders not to effect any public
or private sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company (other than distributions pursuant to employee benefit plans), including a sale pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act (or Section 4(2) thereof), during the ten
(10) day period prior to, and during the sixty (60) day period beginning with (i) the effective date of a registration statement filed under Section 2(a) hereof or (ii) in the event of a shelf registration statement, the
consummation of an underwritten takedown, or such other period as the managing underwriter may require, except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor form for the registration of securities issued or to be issued in
connection with a merger, acquisition or employee benefit plan. 

  
 6 

 (c) The Company represents and warrants to the Holders that there are no Other Registration
Rights Agreements in effect on the date of this Agreement. Subject to Section 4(e), the Company covenants and agrees not to enter into any Other Registration Rights Agreement after the date hereof and prior to the first anniversary of the
Rights Effective Date that (i) contains registration rights in favor of a third party that would have priority to the rights of Holders contained in this Agreement or (ii) grants any third party with a right to cause the Company to effect
a registration similar to the Demand Registration during such period. In addition, subject to Section 4(e), until the Holders cease to hold any Registrable Securities, the Company covenants and agrees that any Other Registration Rights
Agreement will (i) not grant any Person “piggyback” registration rights with respect to a non-underwritten Shelf Takedown requested by the Holders, (ii) require any party to such Other Registration Rights Agreement to agree to a
holdback that is no less favorable to such party than the holdback contained in Section 4(a) of this Agreement and (iii) require that (x) notification to such party of an underwritten Shelf Takedown for which such party has piggyback
registration rights shall be required to be made no earlier than the fourth trading day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs and (y) any party wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to an
underwritten shelf takedown must notify the Company of the number of shares it seeks to have included in such takedown no later than (i) if applicable, the trading day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus
supplement intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for such takedown is finalized and (ii) in all cases, the trading day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs. 

(d) Holders covenant that upon the closing of the Merger, all of its rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated
February 10, 2010, by and among Holders, Graham and the other parties thereto, shall be terminated. 
 (e) Holders
acknowledge and agree that after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, be permitted to enter into one or more Other Registration Rights Agreement (any such agreement, a “Founder Registration Rights Agreement”) with
(i) either or both of the Founders and their respective Affiliates, limited partnerships, foundations, family trusts, GRATs or other related entities that shall hold shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Founder, or (ii) in the
event of the death of either or both Founders, any of such Founder’s estate, executor or administrator, or other entity holding shares of Common Stock previously beneficially owned by the Founder, transferred to it following the Founder’s
death (the Persons referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), other than Founders, are hereafter referred to as “Founder’s Specified Transferees”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, Section 2(a)(iv), Section 3(a)(ii) and Section 4(c), following the death of either or both Founders, 55% of the shares of Common Stock held by such Founder’s Specified Transferee, the value of which is includible in
such Founder’s estate for federal estate tax purposes, shall (i) have priority over the Registrable Securities in the event that the Holders should exercise their right to Piggyback Registration and the exercise of rights by the
Founder’s Specified Transferees that are similar in nature to the Piggyback Registration (“Founder’s Piggyback Registration”) as provided for in the Founder’s Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) have priority
over the Registrable Securities in the event that the Founder’s Specified Transferees shall have exercised rights under the Founder’s Registration Rights Agreement that are similar in nature to a Demand Registration, and the Holders have
subsequently exercised their rights to Piggyback Registration, and (iii) have priority over the Registrable Securities with respect to a Demand Registration caused to be effected by the Holders, if the Founder’s Specified Transferees shall
have exercised their rights to Founder’s Piggyback Registration, in each case if the Company shall have been advised by the 

  
 7 

 
managing underwriter selected by the Company for the offer that, in such firm’s opinion, the inclusion of all securities sought to be registered may interfere with an orderly sale and
distribution of the securities being sold in such offering or materially and adversely affect the price of such securities. 
  

	5.	REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. 

If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect or cause
a registration as provided in this Agreement and at such times as customarily occur in registered offerings or shelf takedowns, as applicable, the Company will: 
 (a) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC, a registration statement within the time periods specified herein, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable and to remain effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of such time as all securities covered thereby are no longer Registrable Securities or twelve (12) months
after such registration statement becomes effective with respect to registrations pursuant to Section 2(a), in every case as any such period may be extended pursuant to Section 7 hereto; 

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for such period of time required by Section 5(a) above, as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 7 hereto; 

(c) Within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any registration statement, any prospectus, any amendment to a registration
statement, amendment or supplement to a prospectus or any free writing prospectus, provide copies of such documents to the Holders of the Registrable Securities being sold and to the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering, if
applicable, and to underwriter’s counsel; fairly consider such reasonable changes in any such documents prior to or after the filing thereof as Holders or the underwriter or the underwriters may request; 

(d) Within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into a registration statement
or a prospectus, provide copies of such document to underwriter’s counsel and counsel for the Holders; fairly consider such reasonable changes in such document prior to or after the filing thereof as underwriter’s counsel or counsel for
the Holders shall request; and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by such counsel available for discussion of such document; 
 (e) Comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during the period during which any
such registration statement is required to be effective; 
 (f) Furnish to Holders and any underwriter of Registrable
Securities, (i) such number of copies (including manually executed and conformed copies) of such registration statement and of each amendment thereof and supplement thereto (including all annexes, appendices, schedules and exhibits),
(ii) such number of copies of the prospectus, used in connection with such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus, any summary prospectus and the final prospectus), and (iii) such

  
 8 

 
number of copies of other documents, in each case as Holders or such underwriter may reasonably request; 
 (g) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of states of the
United States as Holders or any underwriter shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably requested by Holders or such underwriter to consummate the offering and disposition of Registrable Securities in
such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities, subject itself to taxation, or consent to general service of
process in any jurisdiction wherein it is not then so qualified or subject; 
 (h) Reasonably cooperate with Holders and the
sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of shares, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the shares to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such
shares to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the governing documents thereof) and registered in such names as the Holders or the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of shares, if any, may
reasonably request at least five days prior to any sale of such shares; 
 (i) Use, as soon as practicable after the
effectiveness of the registration statement, commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with, or approved by, such other United States public, governmental or
regulatory authorities, if any, as may be required in connection with the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 
 (j) Use
its commercially reasonable best efforts to list the securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange on which any securities of the Company is then listed, if the listing of such Registrable Securities are then permitted
under the applicable rules of such exchange; 
 (k) Notify Holders as promptly as practicable and, if requested by Holders,
confirm such notification in writing, (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement has been filed with the SEC, and, with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has been declared
effective by the SEC, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the coming to the Company’s attention of the initiation of any proceedings for such or a similar purpose, (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (iv) of the occurrence of any event which
requires the making of any changes to a registration statement or related prospectus so that such documents will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (and the Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to Holders a reasonable number of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus such that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading), and (v) of the Company’s determination that the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall be necessary or

  
 9 

 
appropriate. Upon the receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clause (iv) or (v) of this Section 5(k), Holders shall
forthwith discontinue any offer and disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until all Holders shall have received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus which is no
longer defective and, if so directed by the Company, shall deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, all copies (other than permanent file copies) of the defective prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which are then in the
Holders’ possession. If the Company shall provide any notice of the type referred to in the preceding sentence, the period during which the registration statements are required to be effective as set forth under Section 5(a) shall be
extended by the number of days from and including the date such notice is provided, to and including the date when Holders shall have received copies of the corrected prospectus; and 

(l) Enter into such agreements and take such other appropriate actions as are customary and reasonably necessary to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, in the case of an underwritten offering, underwriting agreements in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form and
consistent with the provisions relating to indemnification and contribution contained herein), and in that regard, deliver to the Holders such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by any Holder of the Registrable Securities
being sold or, as applicable, the managing underwriters, to evidence the Company’s compliance with this Agreement including, without limitation, using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its independent accountants to deliver to the
Company (and to the Holders of Registrable Securities being sold in any registration) an accountants’ comfort letter substantially similar to that in scope delivered in an underwritten public offering and covering audited and interim financial
statements included in the registration statement or, if such letter can not be obtained through the exercise of the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, cause its independent accountants to deliver to the Company (and to the Holders of
Registrable Securities being sold in any registration) a comfort letter based on negotiated procedures providing comfort with respect to the Company’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the registration statement at
the highest level permitted to be given by such accountants under the then applicable standards of the Association of Independent Certified Accountants with respect to such registration statement. In addition, the Company shall furnish to the
Holders of Registrable Securities being included in any registration hereunder an opinion of counsel in substance and scope to that customarily delivered to underwriters in public offerings. 

 

	6.	UNDERWRITING.

 (a) If
requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration hereunder, the Company will enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement with the underwriters for such
offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without
limitation, customary provisions relating to indemnities and contribution and the provision of opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters. 
 (b) If any registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Company may require Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant
to Section 3 to be included in such underwriting on the same terms and conditions as shall be 

  
 10 

 
applicable to the securities being sold through underwriters under such registration. In such case, Holders, if requesting registration, shall be a party to any such underwriting agreement. Such
agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by the Holders requesting registration and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including,
without limitation, provisions relating to indemnities and contribution. 
 (c) In any offering of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a registration hereunder, Holders shall also enter into such additional or other agreements as may be customary in such transactions, which agreements may contain, among other provisions, such representations and warranties as the
Company or the underwriters of such offering may reasonably request (including, without limitation, those concerning Holders their Registrable Securities, Holders’ intended plan of distribution and any other information supplied by it to the
Company for use in such registration statement), and customary provisions relating to indemnities and contribution. 
  

	7.	INFORMATION BLACKOUT. 

(a) Upon written notice from the Company to Holders that the Company has determined in good faith that sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the registration statement would require disclosure of non-public material information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law (A) which disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or
(B) relating to a material business transaction involving the Company (an “Information Blackout”), the Company may postpone the filing of effectiveness of any registration statement required hereunder and, if such registration
statement has become effective, the Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and Holders shall suspend sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, in each case, until the
earlier of (i) forty-five (45) days after the Company makes such good faith determination, which may, upon advanced written notice to Holders, be renewed for a second forty-five day period if deemed necessary in the good faith judgment of
the Company, and (ii) such time as the Company notifies the Holders that such material information has been disclosed to the public or has ceased to be material or that sales pursuant to such registration statement may otherwise be resumed (the
number of days from such notice from the Company until the day when the Information Blackout terminates hereunder is hereinafter called a “Blackout Period”). 
 (b) Any delivery by the Company of notice of an Information Blackout during the forty-five (45) days immediately following effectiveness of any registration statement effected pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof shall give the Holders the right, by written notice to the Company within twenty (20) Business Days after the end of such Blackout Period, to cancel such registration; in which event, such registration shall not count
towards the limits on registrations under Section 2(b). 
 (c) If one or more Information Blackouts should occur, then the
periods of time that Holders may require the Company to effect the number of Demand Registrations or Shelf Takedowns set forth in each of Sections 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii) and 2(b)(iii) shall be extended by an aggregate number of days equal to the total
number of days in the Blackout Period(s). 
  

	8.	RULE 144. 

 The Company
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary to comply with the filing requirements described in Rule 144(c)(1) or any successor thereto so as to enable 

  
 11 

 
the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act. Upon the written request of Holders, the Company will deliver a written statement as to whether it has
complied with the filing requirements under Rule 144(c)(1) or any successor thereto and will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Holders to remove any restrictive legends contained on any certificates so as to facilitate a sale by the
Holders of such shares under Rule 144. 
  

	9.	PREPARATION; REASONABLE INVESTIGATION; INFORMATION 

 (a) In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, (i) the Company will give the Holders and underwriters,
if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, drafts of such registration statement for their review and comment prior to filing, (ii) during normal business hours and subject to such reasonable limitations as the Company may impose to
prevent disruption of its business, the Company will provide the underwriters, its counsel and accountants, as well as counsel and accountants to Holders, reasonable and customary access to the Company’s books and records and such opportunities
to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters, its counsel and Holder’s counsel,
to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act and (iii) as a condition precedent to including any Registrable Securities in any such registration, the Company may require Holders to furnish the Company such
information regarding Holders and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or the SEC in connection with any registration. 

(b) In connection with each registration and offering of Registrable Securities to be sold by Holders, the Company will, in accordance
with customary practice, make available for inspection by representatives of the underwriters and any counsel or accountant retained by such Holders or underwriters all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company and cause appropriate officers, managers and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in connection with their due diligence
exercise. 
  

	10.	INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. 

 (a) In the case of each offering of Registrable Securities made pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless Holders, their officers,
directors and affiliates, each underwriter of Registrable Securities so offered and each Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act (“Holders Indemnitees”), from and against
any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses and judgments, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) relating to the offering and sale of such Registrable Securities, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any document
incorporated by reference therein, or 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; provided, that the Company shall not be liable
to any Holders Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission, if such statement or omission shall
have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf 

  
 12 

 
of Holders specifically for use in the preparation of the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Holders and shall survive the transfer of such securities. The foregoing indemnity is in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have to any Holders Indemnitee. 
 (b) In the case of each offering of Registrable Securities made pursuant to this
Agreement, Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act and (if requested by
the underwriters) each underwriter who participates in the offering and each Person, if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (the “Company Indemnitees”), from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses and judgments, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act arising out of or based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) relating to the offering and sale of such Registrable Securities or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or 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, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in, or such fact is omitted from,
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Holders specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein). The aggregate liability of the Holders
under such indemnity provision shall be limited to an amount equal to the total net proceeds received by all such Holders from such offering. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Company and shall survive the transfer of such securities. The foregoing indemnity is in addition to any liability which Holders may otherwise have to any Company Indemnitee. 

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 10, such Person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing;
provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations provided for in Section 10(a) or (b), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually
prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay as incurred the reasonable fees
and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as
incurred the fees and expenses of one specified counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel, in the written opinion of such counsel, would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses

  
 13 

 
of more than one separate firm for all such 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 agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party will
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (A) does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff, to the indemnified party, of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
litigation or (B) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the indemnified party. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof) referred to herein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of all parties in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault 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 party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. 
 The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(d) were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include 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 subsection (d), 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 and no indemnifying party shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities were offered to the public by the
indemnifying party exceeds the amount of any damages which the indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of an untrue statement or omission. 
 (e) The indemnity provided for hereunder shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party to the extent that such indemnified party failed to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act as then applicable to the person asserting the loss, claim, damage or liability for which indemnity is sought. 
  

	11.	EXPENSES. 

 In connection
with any registration under this Agreement, the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. Holders shall be responsible for all other expenses incurred in connection with such registration. 

  
 14 

	12.	IN-KIND DISTRIBUTIONS. 

If a Holder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its shares to its direct or indirect equityholders, the Company
will, subject to applicable lockups, work with such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Holder, including by providing the recipient of such in-kind
distribution with the rights contemplated by Section 2(b)(v). 
  

	13.	MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. 

In the event the Company engages in a merger or consolidation in which the shares of Common Stock are converted into securities of another
company, appropriate arrangements will be made so that the registration rights provided under this Agreement continue to be provided to Holders by the issuer of such securities. To the extent such new issuer, or any other company acquired by the
Company in a merger or consolidation, was bound by registration rights obligations that would conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to modify any such “inherited” registration
rights obligations so as not to interfere in any material respects with the rights provided under this Agreement. 
  

	14.	LIMITED LIABILITY. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the members, general partners, limited partners or managing directors, or
any directors or officers of any members, general or limited partner, advisory director, nor any future members, general partners, limited partners, advisory directors, or managing directors, if any, of any Holder shall have any personal liability
for performance of any obligation of such Holder under this Agreement in excess of the respective capital contributions of such members, general partners, limited partners, advisory directors or managing directors to such Holder. 

 

	15.	NOTICES.

	16.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. 

 Other than with respect to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and
all prior oral and written agreements, arrangements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter, and this Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived or a departure
from any provision hereof can be consented to, only by a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Company and the Holders; provided that any waiver must be signed by the party entitled to the benefit of the
term or matter being waived. 
  

	17.	PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. 

 The
paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for general reference purposes only and shall not affect in any manner the meaning, interpretation or construction of the terms or other provisions of this Agreement. 

 

	18.	APPLICABLE LAW. 

 This
Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts to be made, executed, delivered and performed wholly within such state and, in any case, without regard to the
conflicts of law principles of such state. 
  

	19.	SEVERABILITY. 

 If at any
time subsequent to the date hereof, any provision of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect, but the illegality or unenforceability of

	20.	EQUITABLE REMEDIES. 

 The
parties hereto agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the agreements and provisions of this Agreement were not performed fully by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or conditions or were otherwise
breached, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining and quantifying the amount of damage that will be suffered by the parties hereto in the event that this Agreement is not
performed in accordance with its terms or conditions or is otherwise breached. It is accordingly hereby agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to restrain, enjoin and prevent breaches of this Agreement by
the other parties and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies to which the other
parties are entitled to at law or in equity. 
  

	21.	NO WAIVER. 

 The failure
of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall not affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, and no breach of any provision, term, covenant, representation
or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of the breach of any other provision, term, covenant,
representation or warranty of this Agreement. 
  

	22.	COUNTERPARTS. 

 This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same original instrument. 

 

	23.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 

Any and all rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall not be assigned, transferred or delegated by any party hereto without the prior
written consent of the other party hereto, except that without the prior written consent of the Company, a Holder may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates who receives
Registrable Securities. Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in the first sentence of this Section 23 shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. 
  

	24.	EFFECTIVE DATE. 

 This
Agreement shall be effective as of the Closing Date, and if the Closing Date shall not occur, then this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio.
