Party or its Affiliates (provided, that such Recipient Party shall be responsible for assuring such partners’, members’, stockholders’, investors’, directors’, officers’, employees’, agents’,
attorneys’, consultants’, lenders’, professional advisers’ and representatives’ compliance with the terms hereof, except to the extent any such Person who is not a partner, member, stockholder, director, officer or employee

information that a Recipient Party also has received from a source independent of the Company and that such Recipient Party reasonably believes such source obtained without breach of any obligation of confidentiality to the Company, (iv) of
information obtained prior to the formation of Vine Oil & Gas LP, provided, that this clause (iv) shall not relieve any Recipient Party or any of its Affiliates from any obligations it may have to any other
Recipient Party or any of its Affiliates under any existing confidentiality agreement, (v) that have been or become independently developed by a Recipient Party or its Affiliates or on their behalf without using any of the Confidential
Information, (vi) that are or become generally available to the public (other than as a result of a prohibited disclosure by such Recipient Party or its representatives), (vii) in connection with any proposed transfer of all or part of a
Recipient Party’s holdings of capital stock of the Company or the proposed sale of all or substantially all of a Recipient Party or its direct or indirect parent, to (A) advisers or representatives of the Recipient Party, (B) its
direct or indirect parent or (C) Persons to which such interests may be transferred, but only if the recipients of such information have agreed to be bound by customary undertakings with respect to confidential and proprietary information
similar to this Section 3.3 or (viii) to the extent the 

  
 7 

 
Company shall have consented to such disclosure in writing. The term “Confidential Information” shall include any information pertaining to Company’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ business which is not available to the public, whether written, oral, electronic, visual form or in any other media, including, without limitation, such information that is proprietary, confidential or concerning the
Company’s (or any of its Subsidiaries’) ownership and operation of their respective assets or related matters, including any actual or proposed operations or development project or strategies, other operations and business plans, actual or
projected revenues and expenses, finances, contracts and books and records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient Parties and their Affiliates may make disclosures to their respective direct and indirect limited partners and members such
information (including Confidential Information) as is customarily provided to current or prospective limited partners in private equity funds sponsored or managed by Affiliates of the Blackstone Entities. Each Recipient Party acknowledges that
Confidential Information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material nonpublic information concerning the Company and its related parties or their respective securities and hereby confirms that it is familiar with the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

DEMAND AND PIGGYBACK RIGHTS 

2.1    Right to Demand a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. 

(a)    Upon the written demand of Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone made at any time and from time to time
(a “Demand Notice”), the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a non-shelf registered offering of the Registrable Securities requested by Blackstone, Vine
Investment or Vine Investment II to be included in such offering. 
 (b)    Any demanded
non-shelf registered offering may, at the Company’s option, include Shares to be sold by the Company for its own account and will also include Registrable Securities to be sold by Securityholders that
exercise their related piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof and any other Registrable Securities to be sold by the holders of registration rights granted other than pursuant to this Agreement exercising such
rights, in each case, to the extent exercising such rights on a timely basis. In order to be valid, the Demand Notice must provide the information described in Section 3.1 hereof (if applicable) and
Section 4.5 hereof or be followed by such information, when requested as contemplated by Section 4.5 hereof. 

(c)    Without limiting any other obligations of the Company hereunder, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event
later than 60 days after receiving a valid Demand Notice satisfying the criteria set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement covering all of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Demand 

  
 4 

 
Notice as well as any other Registrable Securities as to which registration is properly requested in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (which other Registrable
Securities may be included by means of a pre-effective amendment) and any other registrable securities properly requested in accordance with other registration rights agreements with the Company, but subject
in each case to any cutbacks imposed in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof and the limitations set forth in Section 2.5 hereof. 

2.2    Right to Piggyback on a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. In connection with any registered offering of
Shares covered by a non-shelf registration statement (whether pursuant to the exercise of demand rights or at the initiative of the Company), the Securityholders may exercise piggyback rights to have included
in such offering Registrable Securities held by them, subject in each case to any cutbacks imposed in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof and the limitations set forth in Section 2.5 hereof. The
Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement any such non-shelf registered offering. 

2.3    Right to Demand and be Included in a Shelf Registration. Upon the demand of Vine Investment, Vine
Investment II or Blackstone, made at any time and from time to time when the Company is eligible to utilize Form S-3 or a successor form to sell Shares in a secondary offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 under the
Securities Act, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a shelf registration of Registrable Securities held by the Securityholders. Any shelf registration filed pursuant to this Section 2.3 by
the Company covering Shares (whether pursuant to a demand by Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone or at the initiative of the Company) will cover Registrable Securities held by each of the Securityholders (regardless of whether they
demanded the filing of such shelf or not) equal to the percentage of their original respective holdings as is requested by Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone with respect to the Registrable Securities of Vine Investment, Vine
Investment II or Blackstone to be included in such shelf. If at the time of such request the Company is eligible for WKSI status, such shelf registration shall, upon the approval of the board of directors of the Company, cover an unspecified number
of Registrable Securities to be sold by the Company and its Securityholders. 
 2.4    Demand and Piggyback Rights
for Shelf Takedowns. Upon the demand of Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone, made at any time and from time to time, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of
Registrable Securities off of an effective shelf registration statement. In connection with any underwritten shelf takedown (whether pursuant to the exercise of such demand rights by Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone or at the
initiative of the Company), the Securityholders may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such takedown Registrable Securities held by them that are registered on such shelf. 

2.5    Limitations on Demand and Piggyback Rights. 

(a)    Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering or takedown, and the exercise of
any piggyback registration rights, will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lockup arrangements, and any such demand must be deferred until such lockup arrangements no longer apply. If a demand has been made for a non-shelf registered offering or for an underwritten takedown, no further demands may be made so long as the related 

  
 5 

 
offering is still being pursued. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Securityholders will not have piggyback or other registration rights with respect to the following
registered primary offerings by the Company: (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans; (ii) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 (or other
similar successor forms then in effect under the Securities Act); (iii) a registration pursuant to which the Company is offering to exchange its own Securities for other Securities; (iv) a registration statement relating solely to dividend
reinvestment or similar plans; (v) a shelf registration statement pursuant to which only the initial purchasers and subsequent transferees of debt securities of the Company or any Subsidiary that are convertible for Interests or Common Stock
and that are initially issued pursuant to Rule 144A and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act may resell such notes and sell the common equity into which such notes may be converted; (vi) a registration where the Registrable Securities are not
being sold for cash or (vii) an Exchange Registration. 
 (b)    The Company may postpone the filing of a demanded
registration statement or suspend the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement for a reasonable “blackout period” not in excess of 90 days if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that such registration or
offering could materially interfere with a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction of the Company or is reasonably likely to require premature disclosure of information, the premature disclosure of which could
materially and adversely affect the Company; provided that the Company shall not delay the filing of any demanded registration statement more than once in any 12-month period. The blackout period will
end upon the earlier to occur of, (i) in the case of a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction, a date not later than 90 days from the date such deferral commenced, and (ii) in the case of disclosure
of non-public information, the earlier to occur of (x) the filing by the Company of its next succeeding Form 10-K or Form
10-Q, or (y) the date upon which such information is otherwise disclosed. 
 ARTICLE III

 NOTICES, CUTBACKS AND OTHER MATTERS 

3.1    Notifications Regarding Registration Statements. In order for Vine Investment, Vine Investment
II or Blackstone to exercise their right to demand that a registration statement be filed, they must include in their Demand Notice the number of Registrable Securities sought to be registered and the proposed plan of distribution. 

3.2    Notifications Regarding Registration Piggyback Rights. 

(a)    In the event that the Company receives (i) any demand from Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone
pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, or (ii) if the Company files a registration statement with respect to a non-shelf registered offering, the Company will promptly give to each of
the Securityholders a written notice thereof no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Company of such demand or the filing of such registration statement, as applicable. Any Securityholder
wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to any such non-shelf registration statement must notify the Company and the other Securityholders of the number of Registrable Securities it seeks to have
included in such registration statement in a written notice. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 

  
 6 

 
second Business Day prior to (i) if applicable, the date on which the preliminary prospectus intended to be used in connection with pre-effective
marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized, and (ii) in any case, the date on which the pricing of the relevant offering is expected to occur. No such notice is required in connection with a shelf registration
statement, as Registrable Securities held by all Securityholders will be included up to the applicable percentage. 

(b)    Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain
appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective non-shelf registration. 

3.3    Notifications Regarding Demanded Underwritten Takedowns. 

(a)    The Company will keep the Securityholders reasonably apprised of all pertinent aspects of any underwritten shelf
takedown demanded by Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone in order that Securityholders may have a reasonable opportunity to exercise their related piggyback rights. Without limiting the Company’s obligation as described in the
preceding sentence, having a reasonable opportunity requires that the Securityholders be notified by the Company of an anticipated underwritten takedown (whether pursuant to a demand made by Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone or made
at the Company’s own initiative) no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) if applicable, the second Business 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 second Business Day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs. 

(b)    Any Securityholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to an underwritten shelf takedown must
notify the Company and the other Securityholders of the number of Registrable Securities it seeks to have included in such takedown. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
(i) if applicable, the Business Day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized, and (ii) in
all cases, the Business Day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs. 
 (c)    Pending
any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective underwritten takedown. 

3.4    Plan of Distribution, Underwriters, Advisors and Counsel. If a majority of the Registrable
Securities proposed to be sold in an underwritten offering through a non-shelf registration statement or through a shelf takedown is being sold by the Company for its own account, the Company will be entitled
to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters and any provider of advisory services, which may include Affiliates of Blackstone, for such offering. Otherwise, Securityholders holding a majority of the Shares requested to
be included will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters and any provider of advisory services, which may include Affiliates of 

  
 7 

 
Blackstone; provided that such investment banker or bankers, managers and providers of advisory services shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and will also be entitled to select
counsel for the selling Securityholders (which may be the same as counsel for the Company). 

3.5    Cutbacks. If the managing underwriters advise the Company and the selling Securityholders
that, in their opinion, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the amount that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the Registrable Securities being
offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, such offering will include only the number of Registrable Securities that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering. If the Company is selling Registrable
Securities for its own account in such offering and the offering is not being made on account of a demand made by Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Company will have first
priority. To the extent of any remaining capacity, and in all other cases, the selling Securityholders (and any other Persons having registration rights pari passu with the Securityholders and participating in such offering) and the Company
will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities initially requested by them to be included in such offering, without distinguishing between Securityholders (or other Persons exercising pari passu
registration rights) based on who made the demand for such offering or otherwise. 

3.6    Withdrawals. Even if Registrable Securities held by a Securityholder have been part of a
registered underwritten offering, such Securityholder may, no later than the time at which the public offering price and underwriters’ discount are determined with the managing underwriter, decline to sell all or any portion of the Registrable
Securities being offered for its account. 
 3.7    Lockups. In connection with any underwritten
offering of Shares, the Company and each Securityholder participating in such offering will agree (in the case of Securityholders, with respect to Registrable Securities respectively held by them) to be bound by the underwriting agreement’s
lockup restrictions (which must apply in like manner to all of them) that are agreed to by the Company. In addition, the Securityholders shall be bound by their obligations with respect to any lockup arrangements or other restrictions on transfer of
Registrable Securities set forth in the LLC Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IV 

FACILITATING REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS 

4.1    General. If the Company becomes obligated under this Agreement to facilitate a registration
and offering of Registrable Securities on behalf of Securityholders, the Company will do so with the same degree of care and dispatch as would reasonably be expected in the case of a registration and offering by the Company of Registrable Securities
for its own account. Without limiting this general obligation, the Company will fulfill its specific obligations as described in this Article IV. 

  
 8

registration statement that is demanded by Securityholders in accordance with this Agreement or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will:

underwriters of an underwritten offering, if applicable, and to their respective counsel; fairly consider such reasonable changes in any such documents prior to or after the filing thereof as the counsel to the Securityholders or the underwriter or
the underwriters may request; and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Securityholders or any underwriter available for discussion of such documents; and (2) 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 counsel for the Securityholders and underwriters; fairly consider such reasonable
changes in such document prior to or after the filing thereof as counsel for such Securityholders or such underwriter 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; 
 (c)    use all reasonable efforts to cause each registration statement and the related
prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of such registration statement, amendment or supplement and during the distribution of the registered Registrable Securities (x) to comply in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and (y) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 (d)    notify each Securityholder promptly, and, if requested by such
Securityholder, confirm such advice in writing, (i) when a registration statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective if such registration statement or post-effective amendment is
not automatically effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462 under the Securities Act, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement suspending the effectiveness of
a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if, between the effective date of a registration statement and the closing of any sale of securities covered thereby pursuant to any agreement to which the
Company is a party, the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the 

  
 9 

 
initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) of the happening of any event during the period a registration statement is effective as a result of which such registration statement
or the related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

(e)    furnish counsel for each underwriter, if any, and for the Securityholders copies of any correspondence with the SEC
or any state securities authority relating to the registration statement or prospectus; 
 (f)    otherwise use all
reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including making available to its security holders an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the

efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement at the earliest possible time.

reasonably request at least five days prior to any sale of such Registrable Securities; 
 (b)    furnish to each
Securityholder and to each underwriter, if any, participating in the relevant offering, without charge, as many copies of the applicable prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other

prospectus, by each such Securityholder and underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or the preliminary prospectus; 

(c)    (1) use all reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities being offered and sold, no

registration statement, shall reasonably request; (2) use all reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective; and (3) do
any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such underwriter, if any, and Securityholder to 

  
 10

qualification or any sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith) in any such jurisdiction; 
 (d)    cause
all Registrable Securities being sold to be qualified for inclusion in or listed on any Recognized Exchange on which Registrable Securities issued by the Company are then so qualified or listed if so requested by the Securityholders, or if so

(g)    in the case of an offering that includes a provider of advisory services, enter into and perform its obligations

	 	(1)	make such representations and warranties to the selling Securityholders and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten offerings;

  

	 	(2)	obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the lead managing underwriter, if any) addressed to each
selling Securityholder and the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in sales of securities or underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Securityholders and
underwriters; 

  

	 	(3)	obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Company’s independent certified public accountants addressed to the selling Securityholders, if permissible, and the underwriters, if any, which
letters shall be customary in form and shall cover matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters to underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings; and 

  
 11 

	 	(4)	to the extent requested and customary for the relevant transaction, enter into a Securities sales agreement with the Securityholders providing for, among other things, the appointment of such representative as agent for
the selling Securityholders for the purpose of soliciting purchases of Registrable Securities, which agreement shall be customary in form, substance and scope and shall contain customary representations, warranties and covenants; and

 The above shall be done at such times as customarily occur in similar registered offerings or shelf takedowns. 

4.4    Due Diligence. In connection with each registration and offering of Registrable Securities to
be sold by Securityholders, the Company will, in accordance with customary practice, make available for inspection by underwriters and any counsel or accountant retained by such underwriters all relevant financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause appropriate officers, managers, employees, outside counsel and accountants of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter, counsel or accountant in
connection with their due diligence exercise, including through in-person meetings, but subject to customary privilege constraints. 

4.5    Information from Securityholders. Each Securityholder that holds Registrable Securities
covered by any registration statement will furnish to the Company such information regarding itself as is required to be included in the registration statement or is otherwise required by FINRA or the SEC in connection with such registration
statement, the ownership of Registrable Securities by such Securityholder and the proposed distribution by such Securityholder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. 

4.6    Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration statement or
registered offering covering Registrable Securities held by the Securityholders will be borne by the Company. However, underwriters’, brokers’ and dealers’ discounts and commissions applicable to Registrable Securities sold for the
account of a Securityholder will be borne by such Securityholder. 
 ARTICLE V 

INDEMNIFICATION 

5.1    Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration under the Securities Act by
any registration statement pursuant to rights granted in this Agreement of Registrable Securities held by Securityholders, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Securityholders, their officers, directors and affiliates, and each underwriter
of such securities and each other Person, if any, who Controls any Securityholder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (including legal fees and costs of court), joint or
several, to which Securityholders or such underwriter or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any 

  
 12 

 
amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, and shall promptly reimburse such Persons, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or any actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by the Company of
the Securities Act, any blue sky laws, securities laws or other applicable laws of any state or country in which such Shares are offered and relating to action taken or action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such offering, or
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (i) contained, on its effective date, in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act or any
amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
(ii) contained in any preliminary prospectus, if used prior to the effective date of such registration statement, or in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the SEC any amendment or supplement to
the final prospectus), or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in such prospectus or necessary to make the statements in such prospectus not misleading; and will
reimburse Securityholders and each such underwriter and each such controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, or liability; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Securityholder or its underwriters or controlling Persons in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by
Securityholders or such underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof. 
 5.2    Indemnification by
Securityholders. Each Securityholder as a condition to including Registrable Securities in such registration statement will indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in
Section 5.1 hereof) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign the registration statement, and any Person who Controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act,
(i) with respect to any statement or omission from such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement to it, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a
written instrument duly executed by such Securityholder specifically regarding such Securityholder for use in the preparation of such registration statement or amendment or supplement, and (ii) with respect to compliance by such Securityholder
with applicable laws in effecting the sale or other disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement. 

5.3    Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of
the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 hereof, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made or may be made against an
indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of the action. The failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations in this Article V, except to the
extent that the 

  
 13 

 
indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. If any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and
to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume defense of the action, the indemnifying party will
not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in connection with the action’s defense other than reasonable costs of investigation. An indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any action or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such indemnified party’s expense unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized
in writing by the indemnifying party, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within thirty
(30) days after notice of any such action or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have
the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to all local counsel which is necessary,
in the good faith opinion of both counsel for the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party in order to adequately represent the indemnified parties) for the indemnified party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Whether or not a defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) 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 (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the indemnified party. 

5.4    Contribution. If the indemnification required by this Article V from the indemnifying
party is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any indemnifiable losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefit of the indemnifying and indemnified parties and (ii) if the allocation in
clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) and also the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties, in connection with the
actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by a party shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net
proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it bear to the total amounts (including, in the case of any underwriter, any underwriting commissions and discounts) received by each other party. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and the indemnified 

  
 14 

 
party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such indemnifying party or parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses,
claims, damage, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Company and Securityholders agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in the prior provisions of this Section 5.4. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 5.4, 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 such indemnifying party exceeds the
amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of an untrue statement or 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 a fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 ARTICLE VI 

OTHER AGREEMENTS 

6.1    Assignment. Neither the Company nor any Securityholder shall assign all or any part of
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company and Blackstone; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company and Blackstone, Blackstone, Vine Investment and Vine Investment II may assign their rights and
obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to (x) any of its Affiliates and/or (y) any Person who becomes a holder of Registrable Securities upon a distribution by Vine Investment, Vine Investment II or Blackstone of shares of
Class A Common Stock or LLC Units to its members, limited partners or stockholders that becomes a party hereto by executing and delivering an assignment and joinder agreement to the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this
Agreement; provided, that unless otherwise agreed to in advance by the Company and Blackstone in writing, in no event shall any Securityholder (other than Blackstone and its Affiliates) be entitled to any “demand rights” under this
Agreement pursuant to an assignment under this Section 6.1. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. 
 6.2    Merger or Consolidation. In the event the Company engages in a merger or
consolidation in which the Registrable Securities 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 Securityholders 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, unless Securityholders then holding at least 90% of the Registrable Securities otherwise agree, use its commercially reasonable efforts to 

  
 15 

 
modify any such “inherited” registration rights obligations so as not to interfere in any material respects with the rights provided under this Agreement. To the extent any such
modification of “inherited” registration rights disproportionately and adversely impacts any Securityholder hereunder, such modification shall not be effective as to such Securityholder without the consent of such Securityholder. 

6.3    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 Securityholder shall have any personal liability for performance of any obligation of such Securityholder under this Agreement in excess of the respective capital contributions of such members, general partners,
limited partners, advisory directors or managing directors to such Securityholder. 
 6.4    Rule
144. If the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
(or, if the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act but is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Securityholder, make publicly available such information) and it will
take such further action as any Securityholder may reasonably request, so as to enable such Securityholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule
144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Securityholder, the Company will deliver to such Securityholder a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.4 shall not in any way limit or otherwise modify any applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in the LLC
Agreement. 
 6.5    In-Kind Distributions. If any
Securityholder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities to its direct or indirect equityholders, the Company will, subject to applicable lockups, work with such
Securityholder and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Securityholder.

(b)    EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

7.5    Amendments. 

(a)    This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by the Company and Securityholders holding
at least a majority of the Registrable Securities collectively held by them; provided that any amendment that would adversely impact the rights hereunder of Blackstone shall require the prior written consent of Blackstone; provided,
further, that any amendment that would disproportionately and adversely impact (i) the rights hereunder of the Securityholders party hereto other than Blackstone without similarly affecting the rights hereunder of Blackstone (other than
the granting of demand rights to any new party to become a Securityholder hereunder and rights incidental thereto) shall require the prior approval of a such Securityholders other than Blackstone holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held
by such Securities, (ii) the rights hereunder of any Securityholder other than Blackstone without similarly affecting the rights hereunder of all other Securityholders other than Blackstone shall require the prior written consent of such
Securityholder. This Agreement will terminate as to any Securityholder when it no longer holds any Registrable Securities. 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.5(a) hereof to the contrary, if the Company at any
time after the date of this Agreement grants to any other holders of its securities (other than any new Blackstone Holders becoming party hereto after the date hereof) any rights to request or cause the Company to effect the registration under the
Securities Act or offering or sale of any such securities on any terms materially more favorable to such holders than the terms set forth in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall, upon the request of Blackstone, be deemed amended or
supplemented to the extent necessary to provide Blackstone such more favorable rights and benefits, and, at the election and sole discretion of Blackstone (as evidenced by a written notice to the Company), shall be deemed amended or supplemented to
the extent necessary to provide to the Securityholders party hereto other than Blackstone those more favorable rights and benefits as selected by Blackstone to be provided to such other Securityholders and set forth in such written notice. 

7.6    Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. The registration rights granted under this Agreement supersede any registration, qualification or similar rights with respect to any of the Registrable Securities granted under any other agreement, and any of
such preexisting registration rights are hereby terminated. 
 7.7    Severability. The
invalidity or unenforceability of any specific provision of this Agreement shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any of its other provisions. Any 

  
 19 

 
provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed reformed, if practicable, to the extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable and to the extent permitted by law
and consistent with the intent of the parties to this Agreement. 
 7.8    Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, including by means of facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. 

7.9    Additional Holders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may from
time to time add additional holders of Registrable Securities of the Company as parties to this Agreement with the consent of Blackstone and without the consent or additional signatures of any other holders of Registrable Securities hereunder. In
order to become a party to this Agreement, such additional party must execute a signature page evidencing such party’s agreement to be bound hereby as a Securityholder (but not Blackstone, unless Blackstone consents in writing thereto), and
upon the Company’s receipt of any such additional holder’s executed signature page hereto, such additional holder shall be deemed to be a party hereto and such additional signature pages shall be a part of this Agreement. 

7.10    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.
