Each Stockholder, in its capacity as a stockholder, individually and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company (and only with the Company) to vote, or cause to be voted, all of its shares of Common Stock, at any annual or special meeting, by written consent, or otherwise, and will take all Necessary Actions within such Stockholder’s control, to cause the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors to be established at nine (9) as of the first business day after the Effective Date, and to elect or appoint or cause to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors and cause to be continued in office:

The initial Investor Designees pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(a)(i) shall be Douglas Brandely, Peter Clare, Wendy Masiello, Paul McElhinney, Stefan Weingartner, Ian Fujiyama, Andrea Fischer Newman and one vacancy.

(i) Any Person or group of Persons entitled to designate a Director may indicate such Person’s desire to remove such designee from the Board of Directors by sending a written notice to the Company’s Secretary stating the name of the designee to be removed from the Board of Directors (the “Removal Notice”) and, upon receipt of such notice by the Company’s Secretary, the Company shall take all Necessary Actions to submit such removal to a vote or consent of the stockholders, and each Stockholder, individually and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company (and only with the Company) to vote, at any annual or special meeting, by written consent, or otherwise, all shares of Common Stock and will take all Necessary Actions within such Stockholder’s control to effect such removal.

Each Stockholder, individually and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company (and only with the Company) to vote, or cause to be voted, all of its shares of Common Stock, and will take all Necessary Actions within such Stockholder’s control, and the Company will take all Necessary Actions within its control, to cause the designated successor to be elected to fill such vacancy. In the event that the Carlyle Stockholders do not, pursuant to Section 3.1(a), have the right to designate an individual to fill such vacancy, then such vacancy shall be filled as provided in the Charter and the Bylaws.

(iii) In the event that the Carlyle Stockholders cease to have the right to designate an individual to serve as a Director pursuant to Section 3.1(a), (i) the Carlyle Stockholders shall take all Necessary Actions to cause that number of Directors for which the Carlyle Stockholders cease to have the right to designate to serve as Directors to resign upon the expiry of such Directors’ term of service on the Board of Directors in order of expiry (each a “Departing Director”), provided that (A) in lieu of the resignation of any such Departing Director (each a “Carlyle Continuing Director”), the Carlyle Stockholders may instead take all Necessary Actions to cause any other Director previously designated by the Carlyle Stockholders to resign at the expiration of the original Departing Director’s term, with such Carlyle Continuing Director continuing as a Director if re-elected to the Board, with the Company taking all Necessary Actions to ensure that such Carlyle Continuing Director be nominated for election to the Board of Directors for an additional term, (B) if multiple Directors terms of service on the Board of Directors expire simultaneously, the Carlyle Stockholders may take all Necessary Actions to cause certain Directors to resign and (C) any such resignation or resignations shall be subject to delay at the request of the Board of Directors, and (ii) the vacancy that may be created by such resignation shall be filled as provided in the Charter and the Bylaws.

Each Director shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including travel) incurred in attending any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or governing body of any subsidiary of the Company or any committee thereof.

(e) Indemnification; Insurance. The Company shall not alter, in any manner adverse to the Investor Designees, any rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities currently afforded to members of the Board of Directors, provided they are permitted by applicable law, pursuant to the Charter, the Bylaws or any indemnification agreement, in each case, as in effect as of the Effective Date. If the Company or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company shall covenant to afford to each of the Investor Designees such rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall continue to maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with benefits, terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage that are at least as favorable, in the aggregate, to the insureds as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the Effective Date.

6

(a) Each Stockholder and the Company agrees and acknowledges that, subject to applicable law, the Investor Designees designated by the Carlyle Majority Interest may share confidential, non-public information about the Company and its subsidiaries with the Carlyle Stockholders, their Permitted Transferees and their respective Affiliates, directors and officers.

(b) The Stockholders and the Company hereby agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement or at law or in equity, that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, when the Carlyle Stockholders, in their capacity as stockholders of the Company, take any action under this Agreement to give or withhold its consent, the Carlyle Stockholders shall have no duty (fiduciary or other) to consider the interests of the Company or the other Stockholders and may act exclusively in its own interest; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligations of the parties hereto to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Stockholders, individually and not jointly, covenants and agrees with the Company (and only the Company), and the Company covenants and agrees with each of the Stockholders, individually and not jointly, that it shall take all Necessary Actions within its control to ensure that the Charter and the Bylaws do not, at any time, conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) For so long as the Company qualifies as a “controlled company” under the applicable listing standards then in effect, the Company will elect to be a “controlled company” for purposes of such applicable listing standards, and will disclose in its annual meeting proxy statement that it is a “controlled company” and the basis for that determination. The Company and the Stockholders acknowledge and agree that, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company is a “controlled company.” The Carlyle Stockholders acknowledge that a sufficient number of their designees will be required to qualify as “independent directors” to ensure that the Board complies with such applicable listing standards in the time periods required by the applicable listing standards then in effect, and shall discuss and use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon appropriate changes to their designees consistent with the foregoing.

SECTION IV. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

4.1 Demand and Piggyback Rights.

(a) Right to Demand a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. Upon the demand of (i) any Carlyle Stockholder at any time and from time to time after (or in advance of, but subject to) the expiration or waiver of the underwriter lock-up period applicable to the Company’s IPO and (ii) any GIC Stockholder at any time and from time to time after the second anniversary of the consummation of the Company’s IPO, the Company will, as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than 30 days following receipt of such demand), prepare and file the applicable registration statement for, and otherwise facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement, a non-shelf registered offering of the Registrable Securities requested by the

7

demanding Carlyle Stockholder or GIC Stockholder, as applicable, to be included in such offering. A demand for a non-shelf registered offering that will result in the imposition of a lockup on the Company may not be made unless the Registrable Securities requested to be sold by the demanding Carlyle Stockholder or GIC Stockholder, as applicable, in such offering have an aggregate market value (based on the most recent closing price of shares of Common Stock at the time of the demand) of at least $50 million (or such lesser amount if all Registrable Securities held by the demanding Carlyle Stockholder or GIC Stockholder, as applicable, are requested to be sold).

(b) Right to Piggyback on a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. In connection with any registered offering of shares of Common Stock covered by a non-shelf registration statement (whether pursuant to the exercise of demand rights pursuant to Section 4.1(a) above or at the initiative of the Company), the Stockholders may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such offering Registrable Securities held by them. The Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement any such non-shelf registered offering.

(c) Right to Demand and be Included in a Shelf Registration. Upon the demand of (i) any Carlyle Stockholder, made at any time and from time to time and (ii) any GIC Stockholder at any time and from time to time after the second anniversary of the consummation of the Company’s IPO, in each case, at a time when the Company is eligible to utilize Form S-3 or a successor form to sell Registrable Securities in a secondary offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415, the Company will, as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than 20 days following receipt of such demand), prepare and file the applicable registration statement for, and otherwise facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a shelf registration of Registrable Securities held by such Carlyle Stockholder or such GIC Stockholder, as applicable. If at the time of such request the Company is a WKSI, such shelf registration will, unless otherwise requested by the Carlyle Stockholder or the GIC Stockholder, as applicable, cover an unspecified number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company and the Stockholders. Any shelf registration filed by the Company covering shares of Common Stock (whether pursuant to a Stockholder demand or at the initiative of the Company) will cover such number of Registrable Securities as may be requested by each of the Stockholders.

(d) Demand and Piggyback Rights for Shelf Takedowns. Upon the demand of one or more (i) Carlyle Stockholders made at any time and from time to time and (ii) GIC Stockholder at any time and from time to time after the second anniversary of the consummation of the Company’s IPO, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of shares of Common Stock off of an effective shelf registration statement. In connection with any underwritten shelf takedown (whether pursuant to the exercise of such demand rights or at the initiative of the Company), subject to Section 4.2 below, the Stockholders may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such takedown Registrable Securities held by them that are registered on such shelf. A demand for a shelf takedown for an offering that will result in the imposition of a lockup on the Company may not be made unless the Registrable Securities requested to be sold by the demanding Carlyle Stockholder or GIC Stockholder, as applicable, in such offering have an aggregate market value (based on the most recent closing price of shares of Common Stock at the time of the demand) of at least $50 million (or such lesser amount if all Registrable Securities registered on such shelf and held by the demanding Carlyle Stockholder or GIC Stockholder, as applicable, are requested to be sold).

(e) Right to Reload a Shelf. Upon the written request of a Carlyle Stockholder or GIC Stockholder, as applicable, the Company will file and seek the effectiveness of a post-effective amendment to an existing shelf in order to register up to the number of Registrable Securities previously taken down off of such shelf and not yet “reloaded” onto such shelf.

8

(f) Limitations on Demand and Piggyback Rights.

(i) Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering or takedown will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lockup arrangements, and such demand must be deferred until such lockup arrangements no longer apply. If a demand has been made for a non-shelf registered offering or for an underwritten takedown, no further demands may be made so long as the related offering is still being pursued. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Stockholders will not have piggyback or other registration rights with respect to registered primary offerings by the Company (i) covered by a Form S-8 registration statement or a successor form applicable to employee benefit-related offers and sales, (ii) where the shares of Common Stock are not being sold for cash or (iii) where the offering is a bona fide offering of securities other than shares of Common Stock, even if such securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock.

(ii) The Company may postpone the filing of a demanded registration statement or suspend the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement for a reasonable “blackout period” not in excess of 90 days if the Board of Directors of the Company determines that such registration or offering could materially interfere with a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or is reasonably likely to require premature public disclosure of information, the premature public disclosure of which could materially and adversely affect the Company; provided that the Company shall not postpone the filing of a demanded registration statement or suspend the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement pursuant to this Section 4.1(f)(ii) more than once in any 360 day period. Any such blackout period will last only for so long as such postponement condition is continuing and, in any event, such blackout period will end upon the earlier to occur of, (i) in the case of a bona fide business or financing transaction, a date not later than 90 days from the date such deferral commenced, and (ii) in the case of disclosure of other non-public information, the earlier to occur of (x) the filing by the Company of its next succeeding Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or (y) the date upon which such information is otherwise publicly disclosed.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Carlyle Stockholder and the GIC Stockholder mutually agree in writing to waive their piggyback rights in any registration, all other Stockholders (if any) shall be deemed to have waived their respective piggyback rights with respect to such registration as well, in which case no Stockholder shall be entitled to include any Registrable Securities in such registration.

4.2 Notices, Cutbacks and Other Matters.

(a) Notifications Regarding Registration Statements. In order for the Carlyle Stockholder or the GIC Stockholder to exercise its right to demand that a registration statement be filed, it must so notify the Company in writing indicating the number of Registrable Securities sought to be registered and the proposed plan of distribution. Unless otherwise requested by a Stockholder (with respect to such Stockholder only), the Company will keep the Stockholders contemporaneously apprised of all pertinent aspects of its pursuit of any registration, whether pursuant to a Stockholder demand or otherwise, with respect to which a piggyback opportunity is available. Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain the confidentiality of these discussions.

(b) Notifications Regarding Registration Piggyback Rights. Any Stockholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to a registration statement must notify the Company of the number of Registrable Securities it seeks to have included in such registration statement. Subject to Section 4.2(c), such notice must be given as soon as practicable and, in the case of piggyback rights with respect to a registration statement to be filed other than pursuant to a Stockholder demand, in no event later than five

9

business days following delivery of notice by the Company (or three business days if requested in connection with an underwritten “block trade”). Notwithstanding delivery of such notice by a Stockholder, all determinations as to whether to complete any offering pursuant to a Stockholder demand and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any such offering contemplated by this Section 4.2(b) shall be determined by the Stockholder proposing to sell a majority of the Registrable Securities.

(c) Notifications Regarding Demanded Underwritten Takedowns.

(i) The Company will keep the Stockholders contemporaneously apprised of all pertinent aspects of any underwritten shelf takedown in order that they may have a reasonable opportunity to exercise their related piggyback rights. Without limiting the Company’s obligation as described in the preceding sentence, having a reasonable opportunity requires that the Stockholders be notified by the Company of an anticipated underwritten takedown (whether pursuant to a demand made by other Stockholders or made at the Company’s own initiative) no later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on (i) if applicable, the second trading day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for such takedown is finalized, and (ii) in all cases, the second trading day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs. Promptly (x) upon receipt of a shelf takedown request (but in no event more than two business days thereafter (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested in connection with an underwritten “block trade”)) for any underwritten shelf takedown or (y) in the case of an underwritten shelf takedown to be made at the Company’s own initiative, following the Company’s election to pursue such underwritten shelf takedown, the Company shall deliver a notice (a “Shelf Takedown Notice”) to each Stockholder with Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement (other than the demanding Stockholder, if applicable) (each a “Potential Takedown Participant”) offering each such Potential Takedown Participant the opportunity to include such Registrable Securities in any such underwritten shelf takedown.

(ii) Subject to Section 4.2(e), the Company shall include in such underwritten shelf takedown all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within two business days (or one business day if requested in connection with an underwritten “block trade” pursuant to a demand by a Stockholder) after the date that the Shelf Takedown Notice has been delivered. Notwithstanding the delivery of any Shelf Takedown Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any underwritten shelf takedown and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any underwritten shelf takedown contemplated by this Section 4.2(c)(ii) shall be determined by the Stockholder proposing to sell a majority of the Registrable Securities.

(iii) Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective underwritten takedown.

(d) Plan of Distribution, Underwriters and Counsel. If (1) a majority of the shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold in an underwritten offering through a non-shelf registration statement or through a shelf takedown are being sold by the Company for its own account and (2) such offering was initiated by the Company and not by a Stockholder, the Company will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters for such offering. Otherwise, the Stockholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters, and such majority will also be entitled to select counsel for the selling Stockholders (which may be the same as counsel for the Company). In the case of a shelf registration statement, the plan of distribution will provide as much flexibility as is reasonably possible, including with respect to resales by transferee Stockholders.

(e) Cutbacks. If the managing underwriters advise the Company and the selling Stockholders that, in their opinion, the number of shares requested to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the amount that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the shares being offered, such offering will include only the number of shares that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering.

(i) In the case of a registered offering upon the demand of one or more Stockholders, the selling Stockholders (including those Stockholders exercising piggyback rights pursuant to this Agreement) collectively will have first priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each such selling Stockholder at the time of the demand (up to the number of Registrable Securities initially requested by them to be included in such offering). To the extent of any remaining capacity, all other stockholders having similar registration rights will have second priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of shares initially requested by them to be included in such offering. Except as contemplated by the immediately preceding two sentences, other selling stockholders (other than a transferee to whom a Stockholder has assigned its rights under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) will be included in an underwritten offering only with the consent of Stockholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in such offering.

(ii) In the case of a registered offering upon the initiative of the Company, the Company will have first priority. To the extent of any remaining capacity, the selling Stockholders exercising piggyback rights pursuant to this Agreement collectively will have second priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each such selling Stockholder at the time the Company notice is issued (up to the number of Registrable Securities initially requested by them to be included in such offering). To the extent of any remaining capacity, all other stockholders having similar registration rights will have third priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of shares initially requested by them to be included in such offering. Except as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, other stockholders (other than transferees to whom a Stockholder has assigned its rights under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) will be included in an underwritten offering only with the consent of Stockholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by Stockholders in such offering.

(f) Withdrawals. In connection with any offering initiated by the Company, even if Registrable Securities held by a Stockholder have been part of such offering, such Stockholder may, no later than the time at which the public offering price and underwriters’ discount are determined with the managing underwriter, decline to sell all or any portion of the shares being offered for its account.

(g) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with any registration statement or registered offering covering Registrable Securities held by Stockholders, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (including printing certificates for the shares in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and printing preliminary, supplemental and final prospectuses), word processing, duplicating, telephone and facsimile expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, transfer taxes, expenses incurred in connection with promotional efforts or “roadshows”, fees and disbursements of counsel (including the fees and disbursements of outside counsel for each of the Carlyle Stockholder and the GIC Stockholder (which may be the same as counsel for the Company) and fees and disbursements of counsel to the underwriters with respect to “blue sky” qualification of such shares and their determination for eligibility for investment under the laws of the various jurisdictions and in

11

connection with any filing with, and clearance of any offering by, FINRA (up to the cap on such fees included in any applicable underwriting agreement)) and of the independent certified public accountants (including with respect to the preparation of customary financial statements required to be included in any offering document, the provision of any customary comfort letters and the conduct of special audits required by, or incidental to, such registration), and the expense of qualifying such Registrable Securities under state blue sky and non-U.S. securities laws, will be borne by the Company. However, underwriters’, brokers’ and dealers’ discounts and commissions applicable to Registrable Securities sold for the account of a Stockholder will be borne by such Stockholder.

4.3 Facilitating Registrations and Offerings.

(a) General. If the Company becomes obligated under this Agreement to facilitate a registration and offering of Registrable Securities on behalf of Stockholders, the Company will do so with the same degree of care and dispatch as would reasonably be expected in the case of a registration and offering by the Company of shares for its own account. Without limiting this general obligation, the Company will fulfill its specific obligations as described in this Section 4.3.

(b) Registration Statements. In connection with each registration statement that is demanded by Stockholders or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will:

(i) (1) prepare and file (or confidentially submit) with the SEC a registration statement covering the applicable Registrable Securities, (2) prepare and file (or confidentially submit) such amendments or supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period ending when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement (but not in any event before the expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten public offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer), (3) seek the effectiveness thereof, and (4) file with the SEC prospectuses and prospectus supplements as may be required, all in consultation with the Stockholders and as reasonably necessary in order to permit the offer and sale of the such Registrable Securities in accordance with the applicable plan of distribution;

(ii) (1) within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any registration statement, any prospectus, any amendment to a registration statement, amendment or supplement to a prospectus or any free writing prospectus, provide copies of such documents to the selling Stockholders and to the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering, if applicable, and to their respective counsel; fairly consider such reasonable changes in any such documents prior to or after the filing thereof as the counsel to the Stockholders or the underwriter or the underwriters may request; and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Stockholders or any underwriter available for discussion of such documents; and

(2) within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into a registration statement or a prospectus, provide copies of such document to counsel for the Stockholders and underwriters; fairly consider such reasonable changes in such document prior to or after the filing thereof as counsel for such Stockholders or such underwriter shall request; and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by such counsel available for discussion of such document;

12

(iii) cause each registration statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of such registration statement, amendment or supplement and during the distribution of the registered Registrable Securities (x) to comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and (y) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(iv) notify each Stockholder promptly, and, if requested by such Stockholder, confirm such advice in writing, (i) when a registration statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective if such registration statement or post-effective amendment is not automatically effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state or non-U.S. securities authority of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if, between the effective date of a registration statement and the closing of any sale of securities covered thereby pursuant to any agreement to which the Company is a party, the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) of the happening of any event during the period a registration statement is effective as a result of which such registration statement or the related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, if required by applicable law, prepare and file a supplement or amendment to such registration statement or prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of shares registered thereby, such registration statement or prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(v) furnish counsel for each underwriter, if any, and for the Stockholders copies of any correspondence with the SEC or any state securities authority relating to the registration statement or prospectus;

(vi) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including making available to its security holders an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar provision then in force); and

(vii) use all reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement at the earliest possible time.

(c) Non-Shelf Registered Offerings and Shelf Takedowns. In connection with any non-shelf registered offering or shelf takedown that is demanded by a Carlyle Stockholder or a GIC Stockholder, as applicable, or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will:

13

(i) cooperate with the selling Stockholders and the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering Registrable Securities, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the shares to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such shares to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the governing documents thereof) and registered in such names as the selling Stockholders or the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of shares, if any, may reasonably request at least five days prior to any sale of such shares;

(ii) furnish to each Stockholder and to each underwriter, if any, participating in the relevant offering, without charge, as many copies of the applicable prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Stockholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities; and the Company hereby consents to the use of the prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement, by each such Stockholder and underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus, the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement;

(iii) (i) use all reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities being offered and sold, no later than the time the applicable registration statement becomes effective, under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as each underwriter, if any, or any Stockholder holding Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement, shall reasonably request; (ii) use all reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective; (iii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in the registration statement; and (iv) do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such underwriter, if any, and Stockholder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Securities owned by such Stockholder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to consent to be subject to general service of process (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith) in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph (iii) or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction;

(iv) (i) cause all Registrable Securities being sold to be qualified for inclusion in or listed on the NYSE or any other U.S. securities exchange on which Registrable Securities issued by the Company are then so qualified or listed if so requested by the Stockholders, or if so requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any and arrange for at least two market makers to register with FINRA as such with respect to the Registrable Securities, (ii) comply (and continue to comply) with the requirements of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Company, including without limitation all corporate governance requirements, (iii) use its best efforts to cause Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and (iv) use best efforts to provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities to be sold by the Stockholders not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(v) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter in an underwritten offering;

14

(vi) use all reasonable efforts to facilitate the distribution and sale of any Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation by making road show presentations, holding meetings with and making calls to potential investors and taking such other actions as shall be requested by the Stockholders or the lead managing underwriter of an underwritten offering;

(vii) enter into customary agreements (including, in the case of an underwritten offering, underwriting agreements in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form and consistent with the provisions relating to indemnification and contribution contained herein) and take all other customary and appropriate actions, at such times as customarily occur in similar registered offerings or shelf takedowns, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in connection therewith, including:

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

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

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

(4) cause the Company’s directors and executive officers to enter into lock-up agreements in customary form; and

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

(viii) take all actions to ensure that any free writing prospectus utilized in connection with any registration or offering hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act in relation to the circulation of a prospectus, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act and, when taken together with the related prospectus, prospectus supplement and related documents, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

15

(ix) permit any Stockholder that, in its sole exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such registrations statement and to allow such Stockholder to provide language for insertion therein, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which in the reasonable judgment of such Stockholder and its counsel should be included;

(x) use best efforts to (i) make Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable Securities and (ii) prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the issuance of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, and in the event any such order is issued, use best efforts to obtain promptly the withdrawal of such order;

(xi) if requested by any managing underwriter and reasonably available, include in any prospectus or prospectus supplement updated financial or business information for the Company’s most recent period or current quarterly period (including estimated results or ranges of results) if required for purposes of marketing the offering in the view of the managing underwriter;

(xii) take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act;

(xiii) cooperate with each Stockholder covered by the registration statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of applications, notices, registrations and responses to requests for additional information with FINRA, the NYSE or any other national securities exchange on which the Registrable Securities are or are to be listed, and to the extent required by the rules and regulations of FINRA, retain a Qualified Independent Underwriter acceptable to the managing underwriter;

(xiv) if the Company files an automatic shelf registration statement covering any Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) during the period during which such automatic shelf registration statement is required to remain effective;

(xv) if the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an automatic shelf registration statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold;

(xvi) if the automatic shelf registration statement has been outstanding for at least three years, at the end of the third year, refile a new automatic shelf registration statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, use its best efforts to refile the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective during the period during which such registration statement is required to be kept effective; and

16

(xvii) if the Company plans to file any automatic shelf registration statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Stockholders, and the Stockholders do not request that their Registrable Securities be included in such shelf registration statement, the Company agrees that it will, at the request of any Carlyle Stockholder or any GIC Stockholder, include in such automatic shelf registration statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B in order to ensure that the Stockholders may be added to such shelf registration statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment (and if the Company has filed any automatic shelf registration statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Stockholders, the Company shall, at the request of any Carlyle Stockholder or any GIC Stockholder, file any post-effective amendments necessary to include therein all disclosure and language necessary to ensure that the Stockholders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement).

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

(e) Information from Stockholders. Each Stockholder that holds Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement will furnish to the Company such information regarding itself as is required to be included in the registration statement, the ownership of Registrable Securities by such Stockholder and the proposed distribution by such Stockholder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

(f) Lock-up Agreements. In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to this Section IV, at the request of the Company, each Stockholder shall enter into one or more agreements with the managing underwriters in connection with any such underwritten offering pursuant to which such Stockholder will agree not to offer, pledge, sell, make any short sale of, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company or any security convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, whether then owned or thereafter acquired, except as part of such underwritten offering or with the prior written consent of the managing underwriters of such underwritten offering, for a period designated by such managing underwriter, which period shall not begin prior to the beginning of the investor road show in connection with such underwritten offering (or, if there is no investor road show, the date of the underwriting agreement with respect to such underwritten offering) and shall not last more than 90 days after the date of the final prospectus (or prospectus supplement, as applicable) used in connection with such underwritten offering and, in each case, shall not exceed the lock-up period applicable to the Company.

4.4 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration under the Securities Act by any registration statement of Registrable Securities held by Stockholders, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder, any such Stockholder’s officers, directors, employees, agents, fiduciaries, stockholders, managers, partners, members, affiliates, direct and indirect equityholders, consultants and representatives, and any successors and assigns thereof, and each underwriter of such securities and each other person, if any, who controls any Stockholder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which the Stockholders or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged

17

untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this Section 4.4, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the “blue sky” or securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of 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 or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and will reimburse any such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by such Indemnified Party specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

(b) Indemnification by Stockholders. Each Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 4.4(a)) the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act), with respect to Losses (as determined by a final and unappealable judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) arising from (i) any statement or omission from such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement to it, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by such Stockholder specifically regarding such Stockholder for use in the preparation of such registration statement or amendment or supplement, and (ii) compliance by such Stockholder with applicable laws in effecting the sale or other disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement.

(c) Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 4.4(a) and Section 4.4(b), the Indemnified Party will, if a resulting claim is to be made or may be made against and indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of the action. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations in this Section 4.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. If any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume defense of the action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in connection with the action’s defense. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Indemnified Party’s expense unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after notice of any such action or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which

18

case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to all local counsel which is necessary, in the good faith opinion of both counsel for the indemnifying party and counsel for the Indemnified Party in order to adequately represent the Indemnified Parties) for the Indemnified Party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Whether or not a defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff, to the Indemnified Party, of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the Indemnified Party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification required by this Section 4.4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any indemnifiable Losses, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefit of the indemnifying and Indemnified Parties and (ii) if the allocation in clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) and also the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Company and Stockholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the prior provisions of this Section 4.4(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4(d), no Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the securities by such Stockholder exceeds the amount of any damages which the indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of an untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such a fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Advancement of Expenses. The Company will advance the expenses incurred in connection with any action involving a claim referred to in Section 4.4(a) within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such action. Advances will be unsecured and interest free. The Indemnified Party hereby undertakes to repay any amounts so advanced (without interest) to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law or contract (and the Company and its subsidiaries shall be considered the indemnitors of first resort in all such circumstances to which this Section IV applies) and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

19

4.5 Rule 144. If the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act but is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Stockholder, make publicly available such information) and it will take such further action as any Stockholder may reasonably request, so as to enable such Stockholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Stockholder, the Company will deliver to such Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Furthermore, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate any sale by a Stockholder under Rule 144, including delivery of any legal opinions and instruction letters required by the Company’s transfer agent and such other documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Stockholder or its broker in connection with such sales.

5.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and delivered via facsimile, .pdf or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign).

5.7 Remedies; Severability. It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any party will result in irreparable injury to the other parties, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which they may have, such other parties may enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance or injunctive relief (to the extent permitted at law or in equity). If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein are not to be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

5.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

24

5.9 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the election of each of the Carlyle Stockholder and the GIC Stockholder, (ii) with respect to the Carlyle Stockholder or the GIC Stockholder, such date as the Carlyle Stockholder or the GIC Stockholder, respectively, ceases to hold any shares of Common Stock or (iii) with respect to any other Stockholder, such date as such Stockholder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities; provided that notwithstanding any such termination, Section 4.4 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party for the breach of any obligations under this Agreement prior to such termination.

5.10 Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

5.11 Successors and Assigns; Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and the respective successors and assigns of the parties as contemplated herein. Any successor to the Company by way of merger or otherwise must specifically agree to be bound by the terms hereof as a condition of such succession.

5.12 Consent to Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the negotiation, breach, validity, termination or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and agrees that it will not bring any such action in any court other than the federal or state courts located in Delaware. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding in such courts based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue in such courts and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given as provided in Section 5.5. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto. The choice of forum set forth in this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment of a Delaware federal or state court, or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce such a judgment, in any other appropriate jurisdiction.

(b) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

(c) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED PURSUANT TO OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE NEGOTIATION, BREACH, VALIDITY, TERMINATION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF AND THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. FURTHER, (I) NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH ACTION AND (II) NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 5.12. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

5.13 Further Assurances; Company Logo. At any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as any other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the provisions of this Agreement and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder. The Company hereby grants the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates permission to use the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ name and logo in marketing materials.

5.14 Regulatory Matters. The Company shall and shall cause its subsidiaries to keep the Carlyle Stockholder and the GIC Stockholder informed, on a current basis, of any events, discussions, notices or changes with respect to any criminal or regulatory investigation or action involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, so that the Carlyle Stockholder, the GIC Stockholder and their respective Affiliates will have the opportunity to take appropriate steps to avoid or mitigate any regulatory consequences to them that might arise from such investigation or action.

5.15 Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any Stockholder shall enter into any agreement or side letter with, or grant any proxy to, any Stockholder, the Company or any other Person (whether or not such proxy, agreements or side letters are with other Stockholders, holders of shares of Common Stock that are not parties to this Agreement or otherwise) that conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement or which would obligate such Person to breach any provision of this Agreement.

5.16 In-Kind Distributions. If the Carlyle Stockholder or the GIC Stockholder (and/or any of their Affiliates) seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its shares to its respective direct or indirect equity holders, the Company will, subject to any applicable lock-ups, work with the foregoing Persons to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested and consistent with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Act.

5.17 Recapitalization Transactions. If at any time or from time to time there is any change in the capital structure of the Company by way of share split, share dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by other means, appropriate adjustments will be made in the provision hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby will continue.

5.18 CFIUS Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall entitle the GIC Stockholder to have (i) access to any material non-public technical information, as that term is defined in Section 721 of the U.S. Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, and the CFIUS implementing regulations at 31 C.F.R Part 800 (together, “CFIUS Rules”); (ii) membership or observer rights on the Board of Directors or equivalent governing body of the Company or the right to nominate an individual to a position on the Board of Directors or equivalent governing body of the Company; or (iii) any involvement in any substantive decision-making, other than through voting of shares, as those terms are defined in the CFIUS Rules regarding (a) the use, development, acquisition, safekeeping, or release of sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens maintained or collected by any portfolio company; (b) the use, development, acquisition, or release of critical technologies, as that term is defined in CFIUS Rules; or (c) the management, operation, manufacture, or supply of covered investment critical infrastructure, as that term is defined in CFIUS Rules.
