 Exhibit 10.1 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of [     ], 2021 by and between Rocket Lab USA,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [         ] (“Indemnitee”). 

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company
desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company; 
 WHEREAS, in order
to induce Indemnitee to [provide or continue to provide] services to the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law; 

WHEREAS, the Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company, and
Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”); 

WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby
contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification; 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and
retaining highly qualified persons such as Indemnitee is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders; 
 WHEREAS,
it is reasonable and prudent for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of any amendment or revocation of the
Charter or the Bylaws, so that they will [serve or continue to serve] the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided in the Charter, the Bylaws and any resolutions
adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and 

[WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by [Name of Fund/Sponsor] which Indemnitee and [Name of
Fund/Sponsor] intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided in this Agreement, with the Company’s acknowledgment and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to
Indemnitee’s willingness to [serve or continue to serve] on the Board.]1 

 

	1 	 This recital and bracketed language in Section 13 should be included if the director is affiliated with a
fund or other entity that provides indemnification to the director that is intended to backstop the indemnification provided by the Company (i.e., Rocket Lab’s directors affiliated with VC funds, and Alex Slusky of Vector).

  
 1 

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the
Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees
to serve as a director of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under
this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. 

Section 2. Definitions. 

As used in this Agreement: 
 (a)
“Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as in effect on the date of
this Agreement; provided, however, that no Person who is a director or officer of the Company shall be deemed an Affiliate or an Associate of any other director or officer of the Company solely as a result of such Person’s position as director
or officer of the Company. 
 (b) A Person shall be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of, and shall be deemed to “Beneficially
Own” and have “Beneficial Ownership” of, any securities: 
 (i) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or
Associates, directly or indirectly, Beneficially Owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Rules under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date of this Agreement); 

(ii) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates, directly or indirectly, has: (A) the legal, equitable or
contractual right or obligation to acquire (whether directly or indirectly and whether exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time, compliance with regulatory requirements, satisfaction of one or more conditions (whether or not within
the control of such Person) or otherwise) upon the exercise of any conversion rights, exchange rights, rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; (B) the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or
not in writing); or (C) the right to dispose of pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) (other than customary arrangements with and between underwriters and selling group members with respect
to a bona fide public offering of securities); 
 (iii) which are Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person (or
any Affiliate or Associate thereof) with which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) (other than customary agreements with and between
underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of the Company; or 

  
 2 

 (iv) that are the subject of a derivative transaction entered into by such Person or any of
such Person’s Affiliates or Associates, including, for these purposes, any derivative security acquired by such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates that gives such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or
Associates the economic equivalent of ownership of an amount of securities due to the fact that the value of the derivative security is explicitly determined by reference to the price or value of such securities, or that provides such Person or any
of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates an opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or to share in any profit derived from any change in the value of such securities, in any case without regard to whether (A) such derivative
security conveys any voting rights in such securities to such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates; (B) the derivative security is required to be, or capable of being, settled through delivery of such securities; or
(C) such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates may have entered into other transactions that hedge the economic effect of such derivative security; 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person engaged in business as an underwriter of securities shall be deemed the Beneficial Owner of any
securities acquired through such Person’s participation as an underwriter in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting. 
 (c) A
“Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur upon the earliest to occur after the date of this Agreement of any of the following events: 

(i) Acquisition of Stock by Third Party. Any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined above), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities unless the change in relative Beneficial Ownership of the Company’s securities by any Person
results solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, provided that a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if subsequent to such reduction
such Person becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of any additional securities of the Company conferring upon such Person any additional voting power; 
  

(ii) Change in Board of Directors. During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the
execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction
described in Sections 2(c)(i), 2(c)(iii) or 2(c)(iv)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were
directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; 

  
 3 

 (iii) Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or
by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or successor entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving or successor entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and
with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving or successor entity; 
 (iv)
Liquidation. The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer by the Company, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets; and 
 (v) Other Events. There occurs any other event of a nature that would be
required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether or not the Company is
then subject to such reporting requirement. 
 (d) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person as a current or
former director of the Company or current or former director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company. 

(e) “Enforcement Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts,
travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other out-of-pocket disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with an action to enforce
indemnification or advancement rights, or an appeal from such action. Expenses, however, shall not include fees, salaries, wages or benefits owed to Indemnitee. 

(f) “Enterprise” shall mean any corporation (other than the Company), partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit

(g) “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, travel

amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee or fees, salaries, wages or benefits owed to Indemnitee. 
 (h) “Independent
Counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member or shareholder) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of Delaware corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five (5) years has been, retained to
represent: (i) the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, any Enterprise or Indemnitee in any 

  
 4 

 
matter material to any such party; or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
“Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities and damages
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 
 (i) “Person” shall mean (i) an
individual, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, a business trust, a government or political subdivision, any unincorporated organization, or any other association or entity
including any successor (by merger or otherwise) thereof or thereto, and (ii) a “group” as that term is used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

(j) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute
resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or
investigative nature, and whether formal or informal, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any Enterprise or by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee or of any action taken on his or her part while acting as a director of the Company or while serving at the
request of the Company as a director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any Enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification,
reimbursement or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that the term “Proceeding” shall not include any action, suit or arbitration, or part thereof, initiated by Indemnitee to
enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement as provided for in Section 12(a) of this Agreement. 
 Section 3. Indemnity
in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the extent set forth in this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right
of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 

  
 5 

 Section 4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee to the extent set forth in this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant
to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the Delaware Court shall deem proper. 

Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement and except as provided in Section 7, to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to or a participant in any Proceeding and is successful in such Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such
Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section
and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 

Section 6. Reimbursement for Expenses of a Witness or in Response to a Subpoena. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, (i) is a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made a party or (ii) receives a subpoena with
respect to any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made a party, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in
connection therewith. 
 Section 7. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company
shall not be obligated under this Agreement: 
 (a) to indemnify for amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is
provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise; provided that the foregoing shall not (i) apply to any personal or
umbrella liability insurance maintained by Indemnitee, or, (ii) affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund Indemnitors as set forth in Section 13(c); 

(b) to indemnify for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the
Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; 

  
 6 

 (c) to indemnify with respect to any Proceeding, or part thereof, brought by Indemnitee
against the Company, any legal entity which it controls, any director or officer thereof or any third party, unless (i) the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding or part thereof and (ii) the Company provides the
indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law; provided, however, that this Section 7(d) shall not apply to (A) counterclaims or affirmative defenses asserted by
Indemnitee in an action brought against Indemnitee or (B) any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
policies maintained by the Company in the suit for which indemnification or advancement is being sought as described in Section 12; or 

(d) to provide any indemnification or advancement of expenses that is prohibited by applicable law (as such law exists at the time payment
would otherwise be required pursuant to this Agreement). 
 Section 8. Advancement of Expenses. Subject to Section 9(b), the Company
shall advance the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, and such advancement shall be made within forty five (45) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances (including any
invoices received by Indemnitee, which such invoices may be redacted as necessary to avoid the waiver of any privilege accorded by applicable law) from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be
unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s (i) ability to repay the expenses, (ii) ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) entitlement to and
availability of insurance coverage, including advancement, payment or reimbursement of defense costs, expenses or covered loss under the provisions of any applicable insurance policy (including, without limitation, whether such advancement, payment
or reimbursement is withheld, conditioned or delayed by the insurer(s)). Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement which shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee
undertakes to the fullest extent required by law to repay the advance if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company. No other form of undertaking shall be required. The right to advances under this paragraph shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding, including any appeal therein. Nothing in this Section 8
shall limit Indemnitee’s right to advancement pursuant to Section 12(e) of this Agreement. 
 Section 9. Procedure for
Notification and Defense of Claim. 
 (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a
written request therefor specifying the basis for the claim, the amounts for which Indemnitee is seeking payment under this Agreement, and all documentation related thereto as reasonably requested by the Company. 

  
 7 

 (b) In the event that the Company shall be obligated hereunder to provide indemnification
for or make any advancement of Expenses with respect to any Proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, with counsel approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of the Company’s election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the
Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel subsequently employed by or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding; provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of such defense, (C) the Company shall not continue to retain counsel to defend such Proceeding, or (D) a
Change in Control shall have occurred, then the fees and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee with respect to Indemnitee’s separate counsel shall be Expenses hereunder. 

(c) In the event that the Company does not assume the defense in a Proceeding pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then the Company will be
entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense. 
 (d) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the fact that an insurer under
an applicable insurance policy delays or is unwilling to consent to such settlement or is or may be in breach of its obligations under such policy, or the fact that directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is otherwise unavailable or
not maintained by the Company, may not be taken into account by the Company in determining whether to provide its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), enter into any settlement which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, any non-monetary remedy imposed on Indemnitee or any monetary damages for which Indemnitee is not wholly and actually indemnified hereunder or
(ii) with respect to any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee may be or is made a party or may be otherwise entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, does not include the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect
of such Proceeding. 
 Section 10. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification. 

(a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a), a determination, if such determination is required by
applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods: (x) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a
written opinion to the Board; or (y) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred: (i) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of disinterested directors
designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; or (iii) if there are no disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to
the Board. For purposes hereof, disinterested directors are those members of the Board who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought. In the case that such

  
 8 

 
determination is made by Independent Counsel, a copy of Independent Counsel’s written opinion shall be delivered to Indemnitee and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within forty-five (45) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Independent Counsel or the Company, as applicable, in making such determination with
respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such counsel or the Company, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and
which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company shall likewise cooperate with Indemnitee and Independent Counsel, if applicable, in making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such counsel and Indemnitee, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to
the Company and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Independent
Counsel or the Company shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 

(b) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(a), the
Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board if a Change in Control shall not have occurred or, if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Indemnitee. Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days
after written notice of such selection, deliver to the Company or Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent
Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper
and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is
withdrawn or the Delaware Court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to
Section 9(a), and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected without objection, either Indemnitee or the Company may petition the Delaware Court
for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by Indemnitee or the Company to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court
shall designate. The person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 10(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration
pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). 

  
 9 

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the determination
of entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be made without regard to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to and availability of insurance coverage, including advancement, payment or reimbursement of defense costs, expenses or covered
loss under the provisions of any applicable insurance policy (including, without limitation, whether such advancement, payment or reimbursement is withheld, conditioned or delayed by the insurer(s)). 

Section 11. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, in making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, it shall be
presumed that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof and the
burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption. 

(b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea
of guilty, nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not
act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s
conduct was unlawful. 
 (c) Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s actions are based on good faith
reliance on the records or books of account of the Company or any other Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors, officers, agents or employees of the Company or any other Enterprise in
the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or any other Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or any other Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an
appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or any other Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 11(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be
deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of the Company, any subsidiary of
the Company, or any Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 11(c) are satisfied, it shall in any
event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of
proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

 Section 12. Remedies of Indemnitee. 

(a) Subject to Section 12(f), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10 of this
Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to
indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification for which a determination is to be made other than by
Independent Counsel, (iv) payment of indemnification or reimbursement of expenses is not made pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the last sentence of Section 10(a) of this Agreement within forty-five (45) days
after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor (including any invoices received by Indemnitee, which such invoices may be redacted as necessary to avoid the waiver of any privilege accorded by applicable law) or (v) payment of
indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement is not made within forty-five (45) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an
adjudication by the Delaware Court of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to
the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to
commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however, that the foregoing time limitation shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under
Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. 

(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that
adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement, as the case may be. 

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact
necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 

(d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that
the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. 

(e) The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all Enforcement Expenses and, if requested
by Indemnitee, shall (within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such Enforcement Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection
with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company in the suit for which
indemnification or 

  
 11 

 
advancement is being sought. Such written request for advancement shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Enforcement Expenses but, in the case of invoices in
connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law need not be included with the invoice. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement
shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein. 
 Section 13. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation. 
 (a) The
rights of indemnification and to receive advancement as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote
of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or
omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement than
would be afforded currently under the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion
or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 

(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, managers, partners,
officers, employees, agents or trustees of the Company or of any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director,
manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company
shall give prompt notice of such claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the
Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. Upon request of Indemnitee, the Company shall also promptly provide to Indemnitee: (i) copies of all of the Company’s potentially
applicable directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, (ii) copies of such notices delivered to the applicable insurers, and (iii) copies of all subsequent communications and correspondence between the Company and such
insurers regarding the Proceeding. 

  
 12 

 (c) [The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification,
advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by [Name of Fund/Sponsor] and certain of [its][their] affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort
(i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be
required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms
of this Agreement and the Charter and/or Bylaws (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and
releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors
on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such
advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 13(c).] 

(d) [Except as provided in paragraph (c) above,] [I/i]n the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to
the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee [(other than against the Fund Indemnitors)], who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents
as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
 (e) [Except as provided in paragraph (c) above,]
[T/t]he Company’s obligation to provide indemnification or advancement hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise
shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement from such other Enterprise. 

Section 14. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years
after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director of the Company or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of
indemnification or advancement hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement relating thereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a
substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

  
 13 

 Section 15. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions
of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so
as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 
 Section 16. Enforcement. 

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in
order to induce Indemnitee to [serve or continue to serve] as a director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director of the Company. 

(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter, the Bylaws and
applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder. 
 Section
17. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment, or waiver of any provision, of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict
any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee prior to such supplement, modification or amendment. 

Section 18. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons,
citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification, reimbursement or advancement as provided hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the
Company or any delay in notification shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise, unless, and then only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of the Proceeding
and such delay is materially prejudicial to the Company’s ability to defend such Proceeding or matter; and, provided, further, that notice will be deemed to have been given without any action on the part of Indemnitee in the event the Company
is a party to the same Proceeding. 

  
 14 

 Section 19. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (ii) mailed by certified or
registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, or (iii) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been

Attention: General Counsel 

with a copy to legal@rocketlabusa.com 
 or to
any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company. 
 Section 20. Contribution. To the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee,
whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances in order
to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee in connection with the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving rise to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers,
employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transactions. 
 Section 21. Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A. The Company intends for this Agreement to comply with the Indemnification exception under Section 1.409A-1(b)(10) of the regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), which provides that indemnification of, or the purchase of an insurance policy providing for payments of, all or part of the expenses incurred or damages paid or payable by Indemnitee with respect to a bona
fide claim against Indemnitee or the Company do not provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section 409A of the Code, where such claim is based on actions or failures to act by Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s capacity as a service
provider of the Company. The parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted and construed with such intent. 
 Section 22.
Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of
laws rules. Except with 

  
 15 

 
respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any
action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) consent to service of process at the address set forth in Section 19 of this
Agreement with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive,
and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. 

Section 23. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed
to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof. 
 Section 24. Identical Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom
enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement. 
 Section 25. Monetary Damages
Insufficient/Specific Enforcement. The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable
harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm (having agreed that actual and
irreparable harm will result in not forcing the Company to specifically perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement) and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or
obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary
injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the Court,
and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of a bond or undertaking.

SECTION 2 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
 2.1
Requested Registration 
 (a) Request for Registration. Subject to the conditions set forth in this
Section 2.1, if the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request signed by such Initiating Holders that the Company effect any registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities
(such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of by such Initiating Holders), the Company will: 

(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and 

  
 - 5 - 

 (ii) as soon as practicable, file and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) and to
permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request
as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered. 

(b) Limitations on Requested Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such
registration pursuant to this Section 2.1: 
 (i) Prior to one year following the closing date of
the IPO; 
 (ii) If the Initiating Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to
inclusion in such registration statement, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any), the aggregate proceeds of which (after deduction for underwriter’s discounts and expenses related to the issuance) are less
than $25,000,000, or in the case of an underwritten offering, $50,000,000; 
 (iii) In any particular jurisdiction in which
the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the
Securities Act; 
 (iv) After the Company has initiated two (2) such registrations pursuant to this
Section 2.1 (counting for these purposes only (x) registrations which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (y) Withdrawn Registrations); 

(v) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date
of filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective; 
 (vi) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable
Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made under Section 2.3; 

(vii) If the Company has filed another Registration Statement (other than Form S-8 or
Form S-4 or any successor thereto) that has not yet become effective; or 

  
 - 6 - 

 (viii) If such registration covers Registrable Securities that are issuable
upon Exchange under and pursuant to the terms of the Zevia LLC Agreement, if the Zevia LLC Agreement would not, on the date of the written request for registration, then permit such Exchange, except with the approval of the Company’s Board.

 (c) Deferral. If (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board, the filing of a registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities would be materially detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and (ii) the Company
shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed in
the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred eighty
(180) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, and, provided, further, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve-month period. 

(d) Other Shares. The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.1(e), include Other Shares, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company. 

(e) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of
an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.1 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice given pursuant to
Section 2.1(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to include all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in such registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be conditioned upon
such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein. If the Company shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to
Section 2.1 of securities being sold for its own account, or if other persons shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders shall, on behalf of all
Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon the participation of the Company or such other persons in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Company’s and such person’s other
securities of the Company and their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 2 (including Section 2.10). The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.1, if the underwriters advise the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that
may be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, among all Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Holders;
(ii) second, to the Other Selling Equity Holders 

  
 - 7 - 

 
requesting to include Other Shares in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Other Shares held by such Other Selling Equity Holders; and (iii) third, to the Company,
which the Company may allocate, at its discretion, for its own account, or for the account of other holders or employees of the Company. In no event shall the number of Registrable Securities or Other Shares underwritten in such registration be
limited unless and until all shares held by persons other than Holders or Other Selling Equity Holders including the Company, are completely excluded from such offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such reduction shall reduce the value of the
Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration below thirty percent (30%) of the total value of securities included in such registration. 

If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such
person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Holders. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors
pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), then the Company shall then offer to all Holders and Other Selling Equity Holders who have retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional
Registrable Securities or Other Shares in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders and Other Selling Equity Holders requesting additional inclusion, as
set forth above. 
 (f) Conditions to Participation. No Person may participate in any underwritten offering
hereunder unless that Person agrees to sell the Registrable Securities it desires to have covered by the applicable Registration Statement on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form and completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of the underwriting arrangements. 

2.2 Company Registration 

(a) Company Registration. If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the
account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.3, a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor
form to such forms, a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration solely for the registration of securities issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any then outstanding security of the Company, a registration
relating to a dividend reinvestment plan, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not
permit secondary sales, the Company will: 
 (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all Holders;
and 

  
 - 8 - 

 (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration
(and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance) or Public Offering or to use the proceeds of such Public Offering to repurchase, except as set forth in Section 2.2(c) below, and in any underwriting
involved therein, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Holder or Holders received by the Company within five (5) Business Days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or
delivered. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities. 
 (b) Limitations on Company
Registration. The Company shall not be required to provide a written notice pursuant to Section 2.2(a) to Holders of any Registrable Securities that are already registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement. 

(c) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to include their Registrable Securities in such registration
pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.
All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the Other Selling Equity Holders and other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein
distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriters advise the Company in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The
Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration or repurchase of securities through the proceeds of such Public Offering, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and
underwriting shall be allocated, as follows: (i) first, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; (ii) second, to the Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such registration statement or repurchase
through the proceeds of such Public Offering based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Investors; and (iii) third, to the Other Selling Equity Holders requesting to include Other Shares in such registration
statement based on the pro rata percentage of Other Shares held by such Other Selling Equity Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such reduction shall reduce the value of the Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration
or repurchase below thirty percent (30%) of the total value of securities included in such registration or repurchase. 
 If a person who
has requested inclusion in such registration or repurchase as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall also be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter. The Registrable
Securities or other securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration or repurchase. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration or
repurchase. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration or repurchase and if the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such 

  
 - 9 - 

 
registration or repurchase was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), the Company shall then offer to all persons who have
retained the right to include securities in the registration or repurchase the right to include additional securities in the registration or repurchase in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be
allocated among the persons requesting additional inclusion, in the manner set forth above. 
 (d) Conditions to
Participation. No Person may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless that Person agrees to sell the Registrable Securities it desires to have covered by the applicable Registration Statement on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements in customary form and completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of the underwriting arrangements. 

(e) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it
under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. 

2.3 Registration on Form S-3 

(a) Request for Form S-3 Registration. After its Initial Public Offering, the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2 and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.3, if the Company
shall receive from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request that the Company effect any registration on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement with respect to all or
part of the Registrable Securities (such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders), the Company will take all such action
with respect to such Registrable Securities as required by Sections 2.1(a)(i) and 2.1(a)(ii). 
 (b) Limitations on Form
S-3 Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3: 

(i) In the circumstances described in either Sections 2.1(b)(i), 2.1(b)(iii), 2.1(b)(v),
2.1(b)(vii) or 2.1(b)(viii); 
 (ii) If the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the
Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $25,000,000, or in the
case of an underwritten offering, $50,000,000; or 
 (iii) If, in a given twelve-month period, the Company has effected two
(2) such registrations in such period. 

  
 - 10 - 

 (c) Deferral. The provisions of Section 2.1(c) shall
apply to any registration pursuant to this Section 2.3. 
 (d) Underwriting. If the Holders of
Registrable Securities requesting registration under this Section 2.3 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of
Section 2.1(e) shall apply to such registration. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as requests for
registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1. 
 (e) Conditions to Participation. No
Person may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless that Person agrees to sell the Registrable Securities it desires to have covered by the applicable Registration Statement on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in
customary form and completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of the underwriting arrangements. 

2.4 Expenses of Registration 

All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 and
2.3 shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 if the registration request
is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or because a sufficient number of Holders shall have withdrawn so that the minimum offering conditions set forth in Sections
2.1 and 2.3 are no longer satisfied (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata among each other based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered), unless the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1; provided, however, in the event that a withdrawal by the Holders is based upon material
adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known or available (upon request from the Company or otherwise) to the Holders requesting registration at the time of their request for registration under
Section 2.1, the Holders shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding nor shall such registration be treated as a counted registration for purposes of Section 2.1.
All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the holders of securities included in such registration pro rata among each other on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so
registered.

 2.5 Registration Procedures 

In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, the Company will keep each
Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 

(a) Keep such registration effective for a period ending on the earlier of the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days from the
effective date of the registration statement or such time as the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty
(120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder(s) refrain from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Class A Common Stock of the Company and
(ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be
extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (A) such time as all such Registrable Securities registered on such registration statement are sold or (B) all such Registrable Securities on such
registration statement may be sold in any three-month period pursuant to Rule 144; provided, further, however, that with respect to (ii) above, that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an
offering on a continuous or delayed basis and that the applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (I) includes any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (II) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information
required to be included in (I) and (II) above to periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; 

(b) To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a “WKSI”) at
the time any request for registration is submitted to the Company in accordance with Section 2.3, (i) if so requested, file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (an
“automatic shelf registration statement”) to effect such registration, and (ii) remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) for a period during which such automatic
shelf registration statement is required to remain effective in accordance with this Agreement; 
 (c) Prepare and file with the Commission
such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in subsection (a) above; 
 (d) Furnish such number of
prospectuses, including any preliminary prospectuses, and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request; 

(e) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities
or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions; 

  
 - 12 - 

 (f) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing, and following such notification
promptly prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or an amendment to such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing; 

(g) If at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status for purposes of an
automatic shelf registration statement used to effect a request for registration in accordance with Section 2.3 (i) the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, (ii) the registration statement is required to be kept
effective in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) the registration rights of the applicable Holders have not terminated, promptly amend the registration statement onto a form the Company is then eligible to use or file a new registration
statement on such form, and keep such registration statement effective in accordance with the requirements otherwise applicable under this Agreement; 

(h) If (i) a registration made pursuant to a shelf registration statement is required to be kept effective in accordance with this
Agreement after the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the shelf registration statement and (ii) the registration rights of the applicable Holders have not terminated, file a new registration statement with respect to any unsold
Registrable Securities subject to the original request for registration prior to the end of the three-year period after the initial effective date of the shelf registration statement, and keep such registration statement effective in accordance with
the requirements otherwise applicable under this Agreement; 
 (i) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such
Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in
form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and reasonably satisfactory to such underwriters and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date,
from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters; 

(j) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement not later than
the effective date of such registration; 
 (k) Otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first month
after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; 

  
 - 13 - 

 (l) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and 
 (m) In connection with any underwritten
offering pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1, enter into an underwriting agreement, provided such underwriting agreement contains reasonable and customary provisions, and
provided, further, that each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement. 

2.6 Indemnification 
 (a)
To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers, directors, members, and partners, legal counsel and accountants and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary
Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), (ii) 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, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or
inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, members, partners, legal counsel and
accountants and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission
based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder, any of such Holder’s officers, directors, members, partners, legal counsel or accountants, any person controlling such Holder, such underwriter or any person who controls
any such underwriter, and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 

  
 - 14 - 

 (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such
Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each
underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, and each of
their officers, directors, members and partners, and each person controlling each other such Holder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary
Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or, or (ii) 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, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, directors, officers, members, partners, legal counsel, accountants, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged
omission) is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided that
in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.6 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. 

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall
give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying
Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the
Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give
notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.6, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be
reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. 

  
 - 15 - 

 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the
one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person or entity will be required under this
Section 2.6(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the offering received by such person or entity, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such person or entity. No person or entity
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions as they relate to underwriters and their controlling persons, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. 

2.7 Information by Holder 

Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by
such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 2. 

2.8 Permitted Transferees 

The rights of a Holder hereunder may be assigned (but only with all related obligations as set forth below) in connection with a Transfer of
Registrable Securities to a Permitted Transferee of that Holder. Without prejudice to any other or similar conditions imposed hereunder with respect to any such Transfer, no assignment permitted under the terms of this Section 2.8 will be
effective unless the Permitted Transferee to which the assignment is being made, if not a Holder, has delivered to the Company a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the Permitted
Transferee will be bound by, and will be a party to, this Agreement. A Permitted Transferee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Section 2.8 may not again transfer those rights to any other Permitted Transferee, other than as
provided in this Section 2.8.

 2.9 Rule 144 Reporting 

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted
Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 
 (a) Make and keep
adequate current public information with respect to the Company available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the first registration under the
Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public; 
 (b) File with the Commission in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements; and 

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the
general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so
filed as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration. 

2.10 Lock-Up Agreements 

In connection with each Registration or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 conducted as an underwritten
offering, each Holder agrees hereby not to, and agrees to execute and deliver a lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such Public Offering restricting such Holder’s right to, (a) Transfer,
directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company held by such Holder or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that Transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities during the period
commencing on the date of the final Prospectus relating to such Public Offering and ending on the date specified by the underwriters. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions until the end of such period. The terms of such lock-up agreements shall be negotiated among the Holders, the Company and the underwriters and shall include customary carve-outs from the restrictions on Transfer set forth therein. 

2.11 Delay of Registration 

No Holder shall have any right to take any action to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of any controversy
that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 
 2.12 Company
Information Requests 
 The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration or sale is being
effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder and its 

  
 - 17 - 

 
ownership of Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, and the Company may exclude from such Registration or sale the Registrable Securities of
any such Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each Holder agrees to furnish such information to the Company and to cooperate with the Company as reasonably necessary to
enable the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 2.13 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights 

From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are senior to the registration rights granted
to the Holders hereunder. 
 2.14 Termination of Registration Rights 

This Agreement shall terminate upon the date on which no Holder holds any Registrable Securities, except for the provisions of Sections 2.6
and 2.9, which shall survive any such termination. No termination under this Agreement shall relieve any Person of liability for breach or Registration Expenses incurred prior to termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated, each Person
entitled to indemnification rights pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof shall retain such indemnification rights with respect to any matter that (i) may be an indemnified liability thereunder and (ii) occurred prior to such termination.
