(c)    Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Desert Newco, the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the Company and Desert Newco, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or Desert Newco or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.
(d)    In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section ‎11(a), ‎11(b) or ‎11(c), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred, documented fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (iii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iv) the indemnified party

25

    



shall have reasonably concluded there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company or Desert Newco, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company or Desert Newco, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company and Desert Newco. In the case of any such separate firm for the Selling Shareholders and such control persons of any Selling Shareholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Selling Shareholders representing a majority of the shares sold by the Selling Shareholders in the offering contemplated hereby. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statements to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

26

    



(e)    To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section ‎11(a), ‎11(b) or ‎11(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause ‎11(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause ‎11(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by each Seller and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and Desert Newco, the Selling Shareholders or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section ‎11 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the contribution provisions contained in this paragraph and the indemnity agreement of Section ‎11(b) above shall be limited in the aggregate to an amount equal to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.
(f)    The Company, Desert Newco, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section ‎11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section ‎11(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section ‎11(e) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section ‎11, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at

27

    



which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section ‎11 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(g)    The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section ‎11 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, Desert Newco and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its directors, officers, employees and agents, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, or by or on behalf of the Company, Desert Newco, or their respective officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or Desert Newco and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.
12.    Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company and Desert Newco, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade or other relevant exchanges, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over‑the‑counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause ‎(v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
13.    Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and

28

    



the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one‑tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non‑defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as such non‑defaulting Underwriters may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section ‎13 by an amount in excess of one‑ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one‑tenth of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to such non‑defaulting Underwriters, the Company, Desert Newco and the Selling Shareholders for the purchase of such Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non‑defaulting Underwriter, the Company, Desert Newco or the Selling Shareholders. In any such case such non‑defaulting Underwriters, the Company, Desert Newco or the relevant Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company, Desert Newco or any Selling Shareholder to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company, Desert Newco or any Selling Shareholder shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company and Desert Newco will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all documented out‑of‑pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
14.    Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company, Desert Newco and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares, it being understood and agreed that this Agreement shall not

29

    



supersede or otherwise affect the Registration Rights Agreement, as among the parties thereto.
(b)    The Company and Desert Newco acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, Desert Newco or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and Desert Newco only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company and those of Desert Newco. Each of the Company and Desert Newco waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.
15.    Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United State.
(b)In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
For purposes of this Section a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder

30

    



16.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
17.    Applicable Law. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.
18.    Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agents for Service. Each of the Company and Desert Newco irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in The City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the offering of the Shares (each, a “Related Proceeding”). Each of the Company and Desert Newco irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such Related Proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that each of the Company or Desert Newco has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, each of the Company and Desert Newco irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding.
19.    Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
20.    Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282 and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, 180 Varick Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10014; and if to the Company or Desert Newco, shall be delivered, mailed or sent to 14455 N.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Underwriters”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with GoDaddy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Desert Newco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Desert Newco”), and certain selling stockholders named in Schedule I thereto providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the Underwriters, of shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”).
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending (and including) 30 days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), or limited liability company units of Desert Newco (the “LLC Units”) beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable

1
    
    
    



for Common Stock or LLC Units (such shares of Common Stock, LLC Units or such other securities of the Company or Desert Newco, collectively, the “Securities,” and any such Securities beneficially owned by the undersigned, the “Undersigned’s Securities”) or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Securities, in cash or otherwise.
The restrictions described in the foregoing sentence shall not apply to:
(a)
transactions relating to shares of Class A Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering; provided that during the Restricted Period no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Class A Common Stock acquired in such open market transactions;
(b)
the transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities (i) to the spouse, domestic partner, parent, child or grandchild of the undersigned or any other person with whom the undersigned has a relationship by blood, marriage or adoption not more remote than first cousin (each, an “immediate family member”) or to a trust or other entity formed for estate planning purposes for the direct or indirect benefit of an immediate family member, (ii) by bona fide gift, will or intestacy, (iii) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership or other business entity (A) to another corporation, partnership or other entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the undersigned or (B) as part of a disposition, transfer or distribution by the undersigned to its partners or equity holders or (iv) if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this clause (b), (1) each transferee, trustee, donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock‑up letter substantially in the form of this letter agreement for the balance of the Restricted Period (except that the undersigned and any of its affiliates who have signed lock-up letters with the Underwriters may make charitable gifts, without the donee(s) signing a lock-up letter, of up to an aggregate of 0.7% of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the undersigned and its affiliates as of the date of this letter agreement before giving effect to the Public Offering), and (2) (y) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (b)(i), (ii) or (iv) above, no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Securities shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period and if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Securities during the Restricted Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is not a transfer for value and (z) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b)(iii) above (other than a transfer or distribution to facilitate a charitable gift, which shall be addressed by the immediately preceding clause (y)), no filing under Section 16(a) of the

2
    
    
    
    



Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Securities shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period;
(c)
the establishment or amendment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5‑1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock; provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of shares of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment or amendment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of shares of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period;
(d)
any sales of the Undersigned’s Securities made pursuant to a trading plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act prior to the date hereof; provided that any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act that is made in connection with any such sales during the Restricted Period shall state that such sales have been executed under a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and shall also state the date such trading plan was adopted;
(e)
the transfer to the Company of the Undersigned’s Securities upon a vesting event of the Undersigned’s Securities or upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase the Securities, in each case on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise; provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Securities, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made;
(f)
[the sale by the Company (on behalf of the undersigned) of up to such number of shares of Common Stock solely necessary to raise funds to satisfy the Company’s income and payroll tax withholding obligations in connection with the settlement or vesting of restricted stock units held by the undersigned that are outstanding as of the date hereof and that were granted to the undersigned pursuant to an equity incentive plan described in the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering; provided that any public report or filing required to be made under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that such transfer was solely pursuant to the circumstances described in this clause (f), no other shares of Common Stock were sold and that the Undersigned’s Securities are subject to a lock-up agreement with the Underwriters; provided further that no other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer;] (To include in the lockup of certain officers of the Company)
(g)
the transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities to the Company, pursuant to agreements under which the Company or any of its stockholders has the option to repurchase such Securities upon termination of service of the undersigned; provided that no

If any of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., L.P., Silver Lake Partners or YAM Special Holdings, Inc., or any of their respective affiliates (each a “Triggering Stockholder”), is granted a discretionary release or waiver from any lock-up agreement executed with the Representatives in connection with the Public Offering prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, then the undersigned shall also be granted an early release from its obligations hereunder on the same terms and on a pro rata basis with respect to such number of shares of Common Stock rounded down to the nearest whole share equal to the product of (i) the maximum percentage of shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) held by the Triggering Stockholder being released from the lock-up agreement multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) held by the undersigned; provided that, the provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

Offering”), then the securities of the undersigned shall only be granted an early release, on a pro rata basis with and otherwise on the same terms as any other security holders in such Secondary Offering, with respect to such number of shares of Common Stock held by the undersigned that are sold in such Secondary Offering. The Representatives shall use reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Company upon the occurrence of a release of a Triggering Stockholder of its obligations under any lock-up agreement executed in connection with the Public Offering that gives rise to a corresponding release of the undersigned's lock-up restrictions pursuant to the terms of this paragraph; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not give rise to any claim or liability against the Representatives or the Underwriters.] (To include in KKR and SLP lockups.)
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
