(d) Subject to Section 3(a), any Holder or group of Holders proposing to sell Registrable Securities having a market value, in the aggregate, of at least the Minimum Threshold (the “Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders”) may elect at any time to sell all or any part of its Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant to the Registration Statement (an “Underwritten Offering”) by delivering a written request therefor to Parent specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering and the intended method of distribution thereof. The Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders shall make such election by delivering to Parent a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) specifying the number of Registrable Securities that the such Holders desire to sell pursuant to such Underwritten Offering. As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request, Parent shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). Parent, subject to Sections 4 and 9, shall include in such Underwritten Offering (x) the Registrable Securities of the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder that shall have made a written request to Parent for inclusion in such Underwritten Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within two (2) Business Days after the receipt of the Shelf Underwriting Notice. Parent shall, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Underwritten Offering. Parent shall, at the request of any Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holder or any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities, file any Prospectus Supplement or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement, any required post-effective amendment and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders or any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to effect such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(d), each Underwritten Offering must include, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities having an aggregate market value of at least the Minimum Threshold (based on the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Underwriting by all Participating Holders). In connection with any Underwritten Offering (including any Underwritten Block Trade, as defined below), the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders shall have the right to designate the lead managing underwriter and each other managing underwriter in connection with any such Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Block Trade; provided, that in any circumstance where the TPG Investor is the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holder, the TPG Investor shall have the right to designate the lead managing underwriter and each other managing underwriter in connection with such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if the TPG Investor is the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holder and wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar transaction or other transaction with a 2-day or less marketing period (collectively, “Underwritten Block Trade”) off of a Registration Statement, then notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, the TPG Investor only needs to notify Parent of the Underwritten Block Trade two (2) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to notice of such Underwritten Block Trade and shall not be entitled to participate in such Underwritten Block Trade, (B) Parent will not be required to undertake more than one Underwritten Offering at the request of the Holders pursuant to this Agreement, not including Underwritten Block Trades,

Parent shall also (x) cooperate with the managing underwriter participating in such Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Block Trade and underwriters’ counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA, including using commercially reasonably efforts to obtain FINRA’s pre-clearance and pre-approval of the Registration statement and applicable Prospectus with the SEC, if necessary and (y) if requested by Seller Representative or the managing underwriters participating in such Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Block Trade, promptly include in a Prospectus Supplement or amendment such information as the Seller Representative or such managing underwriters may reasonably request, including in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities, and make all required filings of such Prospectus Supplement or amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after parent has received such request.
(f) In the event of the issuance of threatened issuance of any strop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related Prospectus or suspending the qualification of any security included in the Registration Statement for sale
5
114626957_9
275721594
in any jurisdiction, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (A) prevent the issuance of any such stop order, and in the event of such issuance, to obtain the withdrawal of such order and (B) obtain the withdrawal of any such order suspending or preventing the use of any related Prospectus or suspending qualification of any Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest practicable date; provided, that such efforts shall not require Parent to make any disclosure for which Parent has a Valid Business Reason (as defined below) not to make.
(g) Furthermore, to the extent the managing underwriters advise that the same is reasonably required for the success of the Underwritten Offering, at the request of the managing underwriters of any Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Block Trade, Parent will agree not to effect any public sale or public distribution of its Equity Securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or S-4 under the Securities Act), during the period beginning two (2) days before the date of pricing of the Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Block Trade and ending forty-five (45) days thereafter, or such shorter period as such managing underwriter and Parent shall agree.
3. Postponement; Suspension of Offers and Sales of Registrable Securities Under Registration Statement.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2, if Parent has a Valid Business Reason, Parent may postpone filing a Registration Statement or filing a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Section 2(d) relating to a Shelf Underwriting Request until two (2) Business Days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists (such period of postponement or withdrawal under this clause, a “Postponement Period”); provided, however, that, except to the extent Parent is prohibit by law, or otherwise requested by a government authority to refrain, from disclosing the Disclosable Event, Parent may not be permitted to have more than two (2) Postponement Periods, not to exceed sixty (60) days in each Postponement Period, during any twelve (12) month period. Parent shall give written notice to the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders of its determination to postpone the related Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Block Trade and of the fact that a Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof.
(b) At any time from and after the effective date of the Registration Statement, Parent may restrict offers and sales or other dispositions of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, and a Holder will not be able to offer or sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities thereunder, by delivering a written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to all Holders of Registrable Securities (such delivery shall be made to such Holder’s address set forth opposite each such Holder’s name on its or his or her signature page hereto) stating that a delay in the offer and sale or other disposition of Registrable Securities is necessary because of a Valid Business Reason; provided, however, that, except to the extent Parent is prohibit by law, or otherwise requested by a government authority to refrain, from disclosing the Disclosable Event, Parent may not suspend offers and sales or other dispositions of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 more than two (2) times, not to exceed sixty (60) days in each suspension, during any twelve (12) month period. Promptly following the cessation or discontinuance of the facts and circumstances forming the basis for any Suspension Notice, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Registration Statement and/or amend or supplement the related Prospectus included therein to the extent necessary, and take all other actions reasonably necessary, to allow the offer and sale or other disposition of Registrable Securities to recommence as promptly as possible, and promptly notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing when such offers and sales or other dispositions of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement may recommence.

275721594
Prospectus Supplement included therein or forming a part thereof to offer and sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities, and shall not offer or sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement or any Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement included therein or forming a part thereof until receipt of a notice from Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence that offers and sales or other dispositions of Registrable Securities may recommence. Holders shall keep the fact that Parent has delivered a Suspension Notice and any non-public information provided by Parent in connection therewith confidential, shall not disclose or reveal the Suspension Notice or any such information to any person or entity and shall not use such information for securities trading or any other purpose.
(c) From and after the first anniversary of the date hereof, aside from any Underwritten Offering as may be requested by the TPG Investor, the Holders may no longer dispose of Registrable Securities under any Registration filed pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement.
4. Allocation of Securities included in Underwritten Offering.
(a) If the lead managing underwriter of any requested Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Block Trade shall advise Parent in good faith that, in its view, the number of securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering by the Holders of Registrable Securities, Parent or any other Persons exercising contractual registration rights (“Additional Piggyback Rights”) exceeds the largest number of securities (the “Sale Number”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such underwritten offering within a price range acceptable to the majority of Holders, Parent shall include in such underwritten offering:
(i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering by the Holders thereof; provided, however, that if the number of such Registrable Securities exceeds the Sale Number, the number of such Registrable Securities (not to exceed the Sale Number) to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Holders requesting that Registrable Securities be included in such underwritten offering, based on the number of Registrable Securities then owned by each such Holder requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Holders requesting inclusion; and
(ii) second, to the extent that the number of Registrable Securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 4 is less than the Sale Number, any securities that Parent proposes to register for its own account, up to the Sale Number; and (iii)
(iii) third, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4 is less than the Sale Number, the remaining securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Persons other than Holders requesting that securities be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of Additional Piggyback Rights (“Piggyback Shares”), based on the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares then owned by each Person requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares owned by all Persons requesting inclusion, up to the Sale Number.
(b) If, as a result of the proration provisions set forth in clause (a) of this Section 4, any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that such Holder has requested be included, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Securities in the registration to which such underwritten offering relates or may reduce the number requested to be included; provided, however, that (x) such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of such Holder’s execution of the underwriting agreement or such Holder’s execution of the custody

8
114626957_9
275721594
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or state securities laws applicable to such Holder in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and shall reimburse each Parent Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such lawsuit, claim or action relating thereto, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder to Parent specifically for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity contained herein is limited in all respects to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with such Holder information, (ii) the total amount to be indemnified by the such Holder pursuant to Section 2 shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such Holder in the offering to which the Registration Statement or Prospectus relates, and (ii) such Holder shall not be liable in any case to the extent prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, Seller Representative or any Holder that has furnished in writing to Parent, information expressly for xxx in, and within a reasonable period of time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously provided to Parent.

No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such lawsuit, claim or action shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such lawsuit, claim or action.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that (i) no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 7(b), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder and (ii) 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 relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
9
114626957_9
275721594
information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

At such time as each holder of Registrable Securities no longer holds any Registrable Securities, such holder of Registrable Securities shall promptly notify Parent of such fact.
10. Reports Under Exchange Act. In furtherance of its obligations under Section 2(c) of this Agreement, from and after the date hereof and continuing until the first anniversary hereof, Parent shall file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Parent’s obligations to take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, from time to time shall survive the first anniversary hereof, including (i) instructing the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities to remove restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities sold pursuant to Rule 144 (to the extent such removal is permitted under Rule 144 and other applicable law), and (ii) cooperating with the Holder of such Registrable Securities to facilitate the transfer of such securities through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, in such amounts and credited to such accounts as such Holder may request (or, if applicable, the preparation and delivery of certificates representing such securities, in such denominations and registered in such names as such Holder may request), all to the extent required to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144. Upon request, Parent shall deliver to any Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
11. Reserved.
12. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be made and given in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.6 of the Merger Agreement and, if to a Holder, to such Holder’s address set forth opposite each such Holder’s name on its or his or her signature page hereto.
13. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed by Parent, the TPG Investor (so long as TPG Holder holds at least 25% of the Registrable Securities received by it in the Merger”) and the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities from time to time outstanding.

14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (including its statute of limitations), without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law principles or rules that would cause the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.
15. Exclusive Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters contemplated herein (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware, or, if no federal court in the State of Delaware accepts jurisdiction, any state court within the State of Delaware). Each party agrees not to commence any legal proceedings related hereto except in such Court of Chancery (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in any federal court within the State of Delaware, or, if no federal court in the State of Delaware accepts jurisdiction, in any state court within the State of Delaware). By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to the appellate courts therefrom solely for the purposes of disputes arising under the this Agreement and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever. The parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder. Any such service of process shall be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process, (b) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, or (c) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.
16. Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision(s) shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
17. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format, by facsimile or by other agreed format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement, shall be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.
