(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary”) (i) a certificate of merger relating to the Corporate Merger (the “Certificate of Corporate Merger”), executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and (ii) a certificate of merger relating to the LLC Merger (the “Certificate of LLC Merger”), executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and the DLLCA, and, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, shall make all other filings required under the DGCL or the DLLCA or by the Delaware Secretary in connection with the Mergers.

2.4 Effects of the Mergers. The Mergers shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the DLLCA.

2.5 Effect of the Corporate Merger on Securities. At the Corporate Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Corporate Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or the holders of any securities of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II:

(a) Each share of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub I (the “Merger Sub I Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Common Stock”), with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub I Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which such shares of Merger Sub I Common Stock were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Terms of the Exchange. Subject to Section 3.1(e), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time, except for shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II (the “Cancelled Shares”), shall be converted into the right to receive:

(i) Cash Designation Shares: if a Cash Designation has been validly made with respect to such share of Company Common Stock and remains in effect at the Designation Deadline (a “Cash Designation Share”), an amount in cash, without interest, equal to an amount such that the sum of the Cash Designation Consideration and the Mixed Cash Consideration equals the Aggregate Cash Consideration (such consideration pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(i), the “Cash Designation Consideration”);

-12-

(ii) Stock Designation Shares: if a Stock Designation has been validly made with respect to such share of Company Common Stock and remains in effect at the Designation Deadline (a “Stock Designation Share”), a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock such that the sum of the Stock Designation Consideration and the Mixed Stock Consideration equals the Aggregate Stock Consideration (the “Exchange Ratio,” and such shares pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(ii), the “Stock Designation Consideration”); or

(iii) Mixed Designation Shares: if a Mixed Designation has been validly made with respect to such share of Company Common Stock and remains in effect at the Designation Deadline or no designation has been validly made with respect to such share of Company Common Stock which designation remains in effect at the Designation Deadline (a “Mixed Designation Share”), (A)(1) the excess of the Aggregate Cash Consideration less the aggregate Cash Designation Consideration divided by (2) the total number of Mixed Designation Shares (the “Mixed Cash Consideration” and, the aggregate Mixed Cash Consideration together with the aggregate Cash Designation Consideration, the “Cash Merger Consideration”) and (B) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (1) the excess of the Aggregate Stock Consideration less the aggregate Stock Designation Consideration divided by (2) the total number of Mixed Designation Shares (the “Mixed Stock Consideration,” and the aggregate Mixed Stock Consideration together with the aggregate Stock Designation Consideration, the “Stock Merger Consideration”).

For the absence of doubt, the sum of the Cash Designation Consideration and the Mixed Cash Consideration shall equal, and shall not exceed, the Aggregate Cash Consideration, and the sum of the Stock Designation Consideration and the Mixed Stock Consideration shall equal, and shall not exceed, the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Company shall only make Designations that, in the aggregate, comply with the limitation contained in the immediately preceding sentence. “Aggregate Cash Consideration” shall mean $1,610,000,000. “Aggregate Stock Consideration” shall mean 44,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, any Designation may be made pursuant to this Section 2.5 with respect to fractional shares of Company Common Stock.

-13-

(c) All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Cash Merger Consideration or the Stock Merger Consideration (the “Merger Consideration”) pursuant to this Article II shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Corporate Merger Effective Time, and each certificate (each, an “Old Certificate,” it being understood that any reference herein to “Old Certificate” shall be deemed to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock) previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) in the case of Old Certificates representing Stock Designation Shares, (A) a book-entry representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.5, (B) cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.5 and Section 3.1(e), without any interest thereon and (C) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1, in each case, without any interest thereon, (ii) in the case of Old Certificates representing Cash Designation Shares, $[•] in cash, without interest thereon and (iii) in the case of Old Certificates representing Mixed Designation Shares, (A) a book-entry representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.5, (B) cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.5 and Section 3.1(e), without any interest thereon, (C) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1 and (D) the amount of cash which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.5, in each case, without any interest thereon. If, prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities (other than pursuant to Section 7.21) as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split or reverse stock split, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio, the Stock Merger Consideration and the Cash Merger Consideration, as applicable, to give Parent and the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and provided further that cash dividends issued by Parent in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice shall not result in any changes to the Exchange Ratio.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Corporate Merger Effective Time, all Cancelled Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no Stock Merger Consideration, Cash Merger Consideration or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

2.6 Effect of the LLC Merger on Securities. At the LLC Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the LLC Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or the holders of any securities of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II, each share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the LLC Merger Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor, and each equity interest of Merger Sub II issued and outstanding immediately prior to the LLC Merger Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding as an equity interest of the Surviving Entity.

ARTICLE III

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

3.1 Exchange of Shares.

(a) Upon the Corporate Merger Effective Time, each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration to which such holder of shares of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article II together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article III and any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(b), and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Cash Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions payable to holders of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.1, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Corporate Merger Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the applicable Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 3.1. In respect of the Stock Merger Consideration, Parent shall deliver to the applicable holders of Old Certificates, at Parent’s option, certificates or evidence of book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock payable in respect thereof.

-16-

(b) No dividends or other distributions declared with an ex dividend and record date after the Closing with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article III. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article III in respect of which Stock Merger Consideration is payable pursuant to Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock that the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive.

(c) If any payment of Merger Consideration is to be made in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to Parent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the applicable Merger Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Corporate Merger Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time. If, after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to Parent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable Merger Consideration as provided in this Article III.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of the Combined Company. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, the Combined Company shall pay to each former holder of shares of Company Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing-sale prices of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the consecutive period of five (5) full trading days ending on the day preceding the Closing Date by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one-thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.5. The parties acknowledge that payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

-17-

(f) None of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II, the Surviving Entity, the Combined Company or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(g) Each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Surviving Entity and the Combined Company, and any other person that has any withholding obligation with respect to any payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate governmental authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(h) In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Combined Company, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Combined Company may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, Parent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

Except (a) as disclosed in the disclosure schedule delivered by Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II to the Company concurrently herewith (the “Parent Disclosure Schedule”); provided, that (i) the mere inclusion of an item in the Parent Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) any disclosures made with respect to a section of Article IV shall be deemed to qualify (1) any other section of Article IV specifically referenced or cross-referenced and (2) other sections of Article IV to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure applies to such other sections (other than with respect to any items disclosed in Section 4.13(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, for which an explicit reference in any other section shall be required in order to apply to such other section) or (b) as disclosed in any Parent SEC Reports filed since January 1, 2018 by Parent and publicly available prior to the date hereof (but disregarding risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” or disclosures of risks set forth in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are similarly non-specific or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II hereby represent and warrant to the Company as follows:

Parent will cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to Parent’s stockholders as promptly as practicable, and in no event more than five (5) business days, after the later of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-day waiting period provided in Rule 14a-6(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) the date on which Parent learns the SEC staff has no further comments on the Proxy Statement. If, at any time prior to the Parent Meeting, any information relating to the Parent, the Company or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by Parent or the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, at the time and in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and correct such information, and Parent shall file an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information with the SEC. Parent shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required under Delaware law to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of shares of Company Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(b) Parent shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Parent Meeting”) to be held as promptly as practicable, and in no event more than forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the 10-day waiting period provided in Rule 14a-6(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or the date on which Parent learns the SEC has no further comments on the Proxy Statement, for the purpose of obtaining (a) the Requisite Parent Vote and the Corporate Opportunity Charter Amendment Vote required in connection with this Agreement and the Mergers and (b) if so desired and mutually agreed, a vote upon other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of stockholders in connection with the approval of a merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Subject to Section 7.3(c), Parent and its Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the Parent stockholders the Requisite Parent Vote and the Corporate Opportunity Charter Amendment Vote, including by communicating to the Parent stockholders the Parent Board Recommendation (and including the Parent Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement), and Parent and its Board of Directors shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to the Company the Parent Board Recommendation, (ii) fail to make the Parent Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iii) adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal or publicly announce an intention to adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fail to publicly and without qualification (A) recommend against any Acquisition Proposal or (B) reaffirm the Parent Board Recommendation within ten (10) business days (or such fewer number of days as remains prior that date that is two (2) business days prior to the Parent Meeting) after an Acquisition Proposal is made public, or (v) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing, a “Recommendation Change”).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 9.1 and Section 9.2, if the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consulting with such outside advisors as it determines in good faith to be reasonably necessary consistent with its fiduciary duties, that taking such action would be required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Board of Directors of Parent may, in connection with a Superior Proposal or in response to an Intervening Event, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Parent Vote, make a Recommendation Change; provided that the Board of Directors of Parent may not take any actions under this sentence unless it (A) gives the Company at least four (4) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the event such action is taken in response to a Superior Proposal, the latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such Superior Proposal, or any (1) amendment or modification to the economic terms thereof or (2) other material amendment or modification to the terms thereof, or describe in reasonable detail such other event or circumstances) and (B) at the end of such notice period, takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by the Company and determines in good faith, after consulting with such outside advisors as it determines in good faith to be reasonably necessary consistent with its fiduciary duties, that taking such action would nevertheless be required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Any change in the economic terms of or any other material amendment to any Superior Proposal will be deemed to be a new Superior Proposal for purposes of this Section 7.3 and will require a new notice period as referred to in this Section 7.3 (except that the notice period shall be shortened to two (2) business days).

-65-

(d) If at any time following the dissemination of the Proxy Statement, the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the Requisite Parent Vote is unlikely to be obtained at the Parent Meeting, including due to an absence of quorum, then the Company shall have the right to require an adjournment or postponement of the Parent Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional votes in favor of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may only require an adjournment or postponement of the Parent Meeting one time (and not multiple times), and such adjournment or postponement shall not delay the Parent Meeting by more than seven (7) days from the prior-scheduled date or to a date on or after the fifth (5th) business day preceding the Termination Date, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Parent may postpone or adjourn the Parent Meeting if (i) there are holders of an insufficient number of shares present or represented by proxy at the Parent Meeting to constitute a quorum, (ii) Parent determines in good faith that it must solicit additional votes to obtain the Requisite Parent Vote or (iii) Parent is required to postpone or adjourn the Parent Meeting by applicable Law (as determined by Parent in good faith) or a request from the SEC or its staff; provided that no such adjournment or postponement shall delay the Parent Meeting by more than seven (7) days from the prior-scheduled date (after giving effect to any prior adjournment or postponement) or to a date on or after the fifth (5th) business day preceding the Termination Date, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Parent Meeting shall be convened and the Share Issuance, the Authorized Share Charter Amendment and the Corporate Opportunity Charter Amendment shall be submitted to the stockholders of Parent at the Parent Meeting, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Parent of such obligation, including as a result of a Recommendation Change.

7.4 Legal Conditions to Merger. Subject in all respects to Section 7.1 of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Mergers and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to make any payment to a third party (other than a Governmental Entity) or incur any liability to a third party (other than a Governmental Entity) to obtain any such consent, authorization, order, approval or exemption.

7.5 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Corporate Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time.

7.6 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) In order to further an orderly transition and integration, the Company and Parent shall cooperate in good faith in reviewing, evaluating and analyzing the Company Benefit Plans and Parent Benefit Plans with a view towards developing appropriate new benefit plans, or selecting the Company Benefit Plans or Parent Benefit Plans, as applicable, that will apply with respect to employees of the Combined Company and its Subsidiaries after the Corporate Merger Effective Time (collectively, the “New Benefit Plans”), provided, however, that prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time, Parent, and after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, the Combined Company, shall have the ultimate authority with respect to all decisions relating to New Benefit Plans, and the Combined Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the New Benefit Plans, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to (i) treat similarly situated employees on a substantially equivalent basis, taking into account all relevant factors, including duties, geographic location, tenure, qualifications and abilities, and (ii) not discriminate between employees who were covered by Company Benefit Plans, on the one hand, and those covered by Parent Benefit Plans, on the other hand, at the Corporate Merger Effective Time. During the six (6) month period immediately following the Corporate Merger Effective Time, the Combined Company or its Subsidiaries shall provide each employee of Company and each employee of the Parent (and their respective Subsidiaries) who remains employed by the Combined Company or its Subsidiaries (each such employee, a “Legacy Employee”), with (i) an annual base salary or wage rate and (ii) severance benefits in the event that such Legacy Employee experiences a qualifying termination of employment during the six (6) month period immediately following the Corporate Merger Effective Time, that are no less favorable, in each case, than the greater of (A) such Legacy Employee’s salary or wage rate, as applicable, and severance entitlement as of immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time and (B) the salary or wage rate, as applicable, and severance entitlement in effect for similarly situated employees of the Combined Company or its Subsidiaries. Until such time as the New Benefit Plans are determined and/or established, each Legacy Employee who was employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time will participate in Parent Benefit Plans until the earlier of (i) the time as the New Benefit Plans are determined and/or established and (ii) the date that is six (6) months following the Corporate Merger Effective Time, and each Legacy Employee who was employed by Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time will participate in Company Benefit Plans, in each case subject to such Legacy Employee’s continued employment with the Combined Company and its Subsidiaries and the terms of such plans, including eligibility. It is understood and agreed that participation in New Benefit Plans may commence on different dates following the Corporate Merger Effective Time for different plans.

-67-

(b) With respect to any New Benefit Plans in which any Legacy Employees first become eligible to participate on or after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, and in which such Legacy Employee did not participate prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time, the Combined Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive all preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Legacy Employee and their eligible dependents under any New Benefit Plans in which such Legacy Employee first become eligible to participate after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, except to the extent such preexisting conditions, exclusions or waiting periods would apply under the analogous Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, as the case may be, (ii) provide each such Legacy Employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time (or, if later, prior to the time such Legacy Employee commenced participation in the New Benefit Plan) under a Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan (to the same extent that such credit was given under the analogous Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan) in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any New Benefit Plans in which such Legacy Employees first become eligible to participate after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, and (iii) recognize all service of such Legacy Employees with the Company or Parent, as applicable, and their respective Subsidiaries (and any predecessor entities), for all purposes in any New Benefit Plan in which such Legacy Employees first become eligible to participate after the Corporate Merger Effective Time to the same extent that such service was taken into account under the analogous Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time; provided that the foregoing service recognition shall not apply (A) to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits for the same period of service, (B) for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan, (C) for purposes of any benefit plan that provides retiree welfare benefits, (D) to any benefit plan that is a frozen plan or provides grandfathered benefits, or (E) to the extent it would require any retroactive contributions.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or Parent or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates any right to continue in the employ or service of the Surviving Entity, the Combined Company, Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Entity, the Combined Company, Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or Parent or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Parent Benefit Plan, Company Benefit Plan, New Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (or, after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, the Combined Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or their respective affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any particular Parent Benefit Plan, Company Benefit Plan, New Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Corporate Merger Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.11, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person, including any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or Parent or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

7.7 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Mergers, taken together, to qualify, and shall not take (and shall cause its affiliates not to take) any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of Parent and the Company shall not knowingly fail to take (and shall cause its affiliates not knowingly to fail to take) any action that could reasonably be expected to be necessary to permit the Mergers, taken together, to so qualify.

(b) If the Company or Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P. has requested an opinion of Wachtell, Lipton, Xxxxx & Xxxx (“Company Tax Counsel”), dated as of the Closing Date, to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Mergers, taken together, will be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Reorganization Tax Opinion”), each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall cooperate with one another to obtain the Reorganization Tax Opinion. In connection with the foregoing, (i) Parent shall (and shall cause each of Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II to) deliver to Company Tax Counsel a duly executed letter of representation, substantially in the form of Exhibit G (the “Parent Tax Certificate”), and (ii) the Company shall deliver to Company Tax Counsel a duly executed letter of representation, substantially in the form of Exhibit H (the “Company Tax Certificate”), in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), at such times as such counsel shall reasonably request (including at the Closing). Parent and the Company shall also provide such other information as reasonably requested by Company Tax Counsel for purposes of rendering any opinion described in this Section 7.7(b).

(c) Parent shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”) until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority. With respect to matters pertaining to any and all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, Parent will furnish to Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P. any information and other reasonable assistance requested by Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P. in connection with the filing of any Tax Return or any proceeding, examination, investigation, audit or review by a Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P., the Company’s sole stockholder, shall deliver to Parent a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9, it being agreed and understood that Parent’s sole remedy for breach of this Section 7.7(d) shall be to withhold the amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code.

(e) It is agreed and understood that the provisions of this Section 7.7 (other than Section 7.7(d)) are for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P.

7.8 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, the Combined Company shall indemnify and hold harmless and shall advance expenses as incurred, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such persons that are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the Organizational Documents of the Company or of any Company Subsidiary and any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date hereof and disclosed in Section 7.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) and such persons that are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to the Organizational Documents of Parent or of any Parent Subsidiary and any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date hereof and disclosed in Section 7.8(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened in writing or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether arising before or after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, arising out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, and pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that in the case of advancement of expenses, any Company Indemnified Party or Parent Indemnified Party, to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Corporate Merger Effective Time, the Combined Company shall cause to be maintained in effect insurance coverage equivalent to the coverage under the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date hereof (provided, that the Combined Company may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Corporate Merger Effective Time; provided, however, that the Combined Company shall not be obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Combined Company shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in the Combined Company’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company may, or at Parent’s request shall, obtain at or prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time a six (6)-year “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.8 shall survive the Corporate Merger Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and Representatives. If the Combined Company, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or engages in any similar transaction, then in each such case, the Combined Company or the Surviving Entity will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Combined Company or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, will expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8.

7.9 Stockholder Litigation. Parent shall give the Company prompt notice of any stockholder litigation against Parent or its directors or officers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall give the Company the opportunity to participate (at the Company’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any such litigation. Parent shall give the Company the right to review and comment on all filings or responses to be made by such party in connection with any such litigation, and will in good faith take such comments into account. Parent shall not agree to settle any such litigation in which the Company, Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P., Apollo Global Management, Inc. or any of their respective affiliates are named without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Parent shall not agree to settle any other such litigation without first consulting in good faith with the Company and, following such good faith consultation, may agree to settle such litigation without the prior written consent of the Company to the extent that such settlement would not impose any material restriction on, or create any adverse precedent that would be material to, the business of the Combined Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Mergers and would not impose any restrictions on the Company, Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P., Apollo Global Management, Inc. or their respective affiliates, as applicable.

7.10 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Each party agrees that it will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors and officers not to, and shall not permit its and their other respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or proposals with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations with any person concerning any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with any person relating to any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, approve or enter into any term sheet, letter of intent, commitment, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other agreement (whether written or oral, binding or nonbinding) (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to and entered into in accordance with this Section 7.10) in connection with or relating to any Acquisition Proposal. Each party will, and will cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any person other than Parent or the Company, as applicable, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and request the return or destruction of any confidential information previously delivered to any such person pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality agreement to the extent provided by such agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.10(a), in the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Requisite Parent Vote, Parent receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal not solicited in violation of this Section 7.10, Parent may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished confidential or nonpublic information or data and participate in such negotiations or discussions with the person making the Acquisition Proposal and Parent’s Representatives if the Board of Directors of Parent concludes in good faith, after consulting with such outside advisors as it determines in good faith to be reasonably necessary consistent with its fiduciary duties, that taking such actions would be required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that, prior to furnishing any confidential or nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, Parent shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the person making such Acquisition Proposal on terms substantially no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with Parent, and shall otherwise permit Parent to comply with its obligations herein.

-71-

(c) Parent will promptly (within twenty-four (24) hours) advise the Company following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and the substance thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal), will provide the Company with an unredacted copy of any such Acquisition Proposal and any draft agreements, proposals or other materials received in connection with any such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, and will keep the Company apprised of any related material developments, discussions and negotiations on a reasonably current basis, including any (1) amendment or modification to the economic terms thereof or (2) other material amendment or modification to the terms thereof. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality agreements (other than “standstill” provisions therein) to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is or becomes a party in accordance with the terms thereof. Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives to, enter into any confidentiality agreement subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits Parent from providing to the Company the information required to be provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 7.10(c).

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Parent or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, that such rules will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such rules would otherwise have under this Agreement.

7.11 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company agree that the initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a release mutually agreed to by the parties. Thereafter, each of the parties agrees that, without limiting Section 7.3, no public release or announcement or other public statement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (a) as required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, (b) for such releases, announcements or statements that are consistent with other such releases, announcements or statements made after the date of this Agreement in compliance with this Section 7.11, or (c) for releases, announcements or statements made in connection with a Recommendation Change or in connection with litigation between the parties.

-72-

7.12 Takeover Statutes. None of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or their respective Boards of Directors shall take any action that would cause any Takeover Statute to become applicable to this Agreement or the Mergers, and each shall take all necessary steps to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Mergers from any applicable Takeover Statute now or hereafter in effect. If any Takeover Statute may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Mergers, each party and the members of their respective Boards of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Statute on the Mergers, including, if necessary, challenging the validity or applicability of any such Takeover Statute.

7.13 Financing Matters.

(a) Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing in an amount (together with any other cash sources available to Parent and its Subsidiaries) sufficient to satisfy the Transaction Uses on the terms (including the “market flex” provisions) and subject only to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements related to the Financing (the “Financing Agreements”), including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect, until the Closing Date, the Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements, as applicable, (ii) materially comply with the obligations that are set forth in the Commitment Letter and the Financing Agreements that are applicable to Parent (insofar as failure to so comply would constitute an unsatisfied condition precedent to obtaining the Financing or give rise to a termination right under the Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements) and satisfy on a timely basis all conditions precedent in the Commitment Letter and the Financing Agreements that are within its control, and (iii) to the extent necessary to satisfy the Transaction Uses, fully enforce the rights of Parent under the Commitment Letter and the Financing Agreements. Parent shall not prior to the Closing release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the lenders under the Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements without the consent of the Company (other than in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement).

(b) In the event any funds required to satisfy the Transaction Uses, or any portion thereof, become unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter (if applicable, after giving effect to the “market flex” provisions) or the Financing Agreements, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to cooperate to arrange to obtain promptly any such portion from the same or alternative sources, in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is available, to allow Parent to satisfy the Transaction Uses (the “Alternative Financing”), and to obtain a new financing commitment to Parent that provides for such Alternative Financing on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to each of Parent and the Company (the “Alternative Financing Commitment Letter”). It is understood and agreed that (i) committed Permanent Financing may reduce (dollar-for-dollar) the Financing and such shall not be a breach of this Section 7.13(b) so long as the net proceeds of such Permanent Financing are made available to fund the Transaction Uses on the Closing Date and (ii) the terms and conditions of any Alternative Financing Commitment Letter that provides for Alternative Financing on terms not materially less favorable to Parent (taking into account the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Commitment Letter) shall be deemed to reasonably acceptable to the Company for purposes of the preceding sentence so long as such terms and conditions would not have any result, event or consequence described in any of clauses (A) through (D) of Section 7.13(c).

-73-

(c) Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice upon it obtaining knowledge of (i) any material breach (or threatened in writing material breach) or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default) by any party to the Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements, (ii) any actual or threatened in writing withdrawal, repudiation or termination of the Financing by any of the lenders, (iii) any material dispute or disagreement between or among any of the Financing Parties (on the one hand) and Parent or any of its affiliates (on the other hand) party to the Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements, and (iv) any amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements. Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, amend, modify, supplement, restate, substitute, replace, terminate, or agree to any waiver under the Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement, which consent in the case of an amendment, modification or restatement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as such amendment, modification or restatement would not (A) reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede, or materially delay the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, materially delay or impair the availability of the Financing or make the funding of the Financing at the Closing less likely to occur, (B) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing such that Parent would have insufficient funds to satisfy the Transaction Uses, (C) contain additional or modified conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing relative to those set forth in the Commitment Letter as in effect as of the date hereof, or (D) reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce or cause the enforcement of its rights under the Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may (i) implement or exercise any of the “market flex” provisions exercised by the lenders in accordance with the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof (it being understood that, to the extent that the Company has an approval or consultation right with respect to such “market flex” provisions, the Company shall exercise such right in consultation with Parent) or (ii) amend and restate the Commitment Letter or otherwise execute joinder agreements to the Commitment Letter solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that are reasonably acceptable to each of Parent and the Company.

(d) Until the earlier of the Closing and the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, Parent agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, and to cause its Representatives to take or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, advisable and proper in connection with the arrangement, marketing and consummation of the issuance of any debt securities or the incurrence of any other long-term debt financing by Parent that is reasonably acceptable to each of the Parent and the Company in lieu of the Financing (such financing, the “Permanent Financing”), including, without limitation, (1) consulting with the Company in good faith on the terms and conditions of any Permanent Financing and (2) using its reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) the following actions (i) negotiating definitive agreements with respect thereto, on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter or on such other terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to each of Parent and the Company and (ii) arranging as promptly as reasonably practicable the Permanent Financing on or prior to the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter or on such other terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to each of Parent and the Company.

-74-

(c) by either Parent or the Company if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before 11:59 p.m. on December 22, 2021 (as it may be extended pursuant to this clause (c), the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that if as of December 22, 2021 a Specified Circumstance exists and each of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 (other than with respect to the Specified Circumstance) is satisfied or has been waived, than either Parent or the Company may, by providing notice to the other party, extend the Termination Date to 11:59 p.m. on March 22, 2022; provided, further, that if as of March 22, 2022 a Specified Circumstance exists and each of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 (other than with respect to the Specified Circumstance) is satisfied or has been waived, than either Parent or the Company may, by providing notice to the other party, extend the Termination Date to 11:59 p.m. on June 22, 2022; and provided, further, that a party may not elect to make such an extension if the failure of the Closing to occur by such date is principally due to the failure of the party seeking the extension pursuant to this clause (c) to perform or observe the obligations, covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(d) by either Parent or the Company (provided, that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any obligation, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a breach of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements or any breach or failure to be true of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of Parent, in the case of a termination by the Company, or the Company, in the case of a termination by Parent, which breach or failure to be true, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches or failure to be true, would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2, in the case of a termination by the Company, or Section 8.3, in the case of a termination by Parent, and which is not cured within thirty (30) days (or such fewer days as remain prior to the Termination Date) following written notice to Parent, in the case of a termination by the Company, or the Company, in the case of a termination by Parent, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such period (or such fewer days as remain prior to the Termination Date);

(c) (i) In the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been communicated to or otherwise made known to the Board of Directors or senior management of Parent or shall have been made publicly to the stockholders of Parent or any person shall have publicly announced (and not withdrawn at least two (2) business days prior to the Parent Meeting) an Acquisition Proposal, in each case with respect to Parent and (A) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(d) or either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(e) and (B) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, Parent consummates or enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), and actually consummates the transaction with respect to such Acquisition Proposal thereafter, then Parent shall, on the date of consummation of such transaction, pay the Company, by wire transfer of same-day funds, a fee equal to: (x) $131,683,200, if the earlier of (1) Parent consummating the Acquisition Proposal or (2) Parent entering into the definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition Proposal occurs prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of termination; (y) $86,275,200, if the earlier of (1) Parent consummating the Acquisition Proposal or (2) Parent entering into the definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition Proposal occurs after the date that is six (6) months after the date of termination and prior to the date that is nine (9) months after the date of termination; or (z) $40,867,200, if the earlier of (1) Parent consummating the Acquisition Proposal or (2) Parent entering into the definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition Proposal occurs after the date that is nine (9) months after the date of termination and prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of termination (such applicable amount, the “Tail Termination Fee”) (in the case of termination by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(e), without duplication of the amount of Company Expenses actually paid by Parent); provided, that for purposes of this Section 9.2(c)(i), all references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “twenty percent (20%)” and “eighty percent (80%)” shall instead refer to “fifty percent (50%).”

(ii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(f) or by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(g) then Parent shall pay the Company, by wire transfer of same-day funds, a fee equal to $131,683,200 (the “Termination Fee”) within two (2) business days of the date of termination.

(d) Except in the case of a Willful Breach by Parent which shall be subject to Section 9.2(a), following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the payment of the Tail Termination Fee, Termination Fee and/or the Company Expenses, as applicable, by Parent, in circumstances in which they are due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.2(d) in connection therewith, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether based in contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Laws or otherwise) of the Company against Parent and the Financing Parties and any of their respective affiliates and any of their respective current or former Representatives relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein (including for any breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but without limiting the right of any party to recover liabilities or damages to the extent permitted herein, in no event shall Parent be required to pay both the Tail Termination Fee and the Termination Fee, or either of such fees more than once. Except in the case of a Willful Breach by the Company which shall be subject to Section 9.2(a), following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall have no further liability to Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II. Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent or the Company, as the case may be, fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 9.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit which results in a judgment against the non-paying party for the Termination Fee, as applicable, or any portion thereof, such non-paying party shall pay the costs and expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if Parent or the Company, as the case may be, fails to pay the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.2, then such party shall pay interest on such overdue amounts at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in the Wall Street Journal on the date on which such payment was required to be made for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

10.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) together with the Investor Rights Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

10.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement, the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles (collectively, “Delaware Claims”).

-89-

(b) Each party agrees that it will bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), and, solely in connection with the Delaware Claims, (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding will be effective upon personal service or 10 days after notice is given by both email and express courier (with confirmation) as provided by Section 10.5 including a courtesy copy (by email) to all counsel.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AT THE TIME OF INSTITUTION OF THE APPLICABLE LITIGATION, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE FINANCING OR ANY PERMANENT FINANCING). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.

Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, each of Parent and Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation may assign any of its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to any of the Financing Parties as collateral security. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 7.7 and Section 7.8 this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance herewith without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, persons other than the parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

-90-

10.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which money damages would not be sufficient relief, would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and, accordingly, that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened in writing breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Mergers), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its affiliates be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement directly against any Financing Entity; provided that nothing in this Section 10.12 shall in any way limit or modify the obligations of any Financing Entity to Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II under the Commitment Letter.

10.13 Severability.

This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

-91-

A. Recognition of Corporate Opportunities. In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, officers, principals, partners, members, managers, employees, agents and/or other representatives of the Apollo Entities (as defined below) and their respective Affiliates (as defined below) may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Corporation and its Affiliates, and (ii) the Apollo Entities and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation and Affiliates, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation and its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Article XI are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation and its Affiliates with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve the Apollo Entities and their respective Affiliates and any person or entity who, while a stockholder, director, officer or agent of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, is a director, officer, principal, partner, member, manager, employee, agent and/or other representative of the Apollo Entities and their respective Affiliates (each, an “Identified Person”), on the one hand, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its Affiliates and its and their respective stockholders, directors, officers, and agents in connection therewith, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, the Delaware General Corporation Law), each Identified Person (i) shall have the right to, directly or indirectly, engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of every type and description, including those engaged in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or deemed to be competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, whether on its own account or as a partner, equity holder, controlling person, stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate (including any portfolio company), member, financing source, investor, manager, or assignee of any other person or entity, with no obligation to offer to the Corporation or its subsidiaries or other Affiliates the right to participate therein and (ii) shall have the right to invest in, or provide services to, any person that is engaged in the same or similar business activities as the Corporation or its Affiliates or that directly or indirectly competes with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

B. Competitive Opportunities. In the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be an investment, corporate or business opportunity or prospective economic or competitive advantage in which the Corporation or its Affiliates could have an interest or expectancy (contractual, equitable or otherwise) (a “Competitive Opportunity”) or otherwise is then exploiting any Competitive Opportunity, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Corporation and its Affiliates will have no interest in, and no expectation that such Competitive Opportunity be offered to it, except as may be otherwise agreed in writing between the Corporation and the Apollo Entities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any such interest or expectation (contractual, equitable or otherwise) is hereby renounced so that such Identified Person shall (i) have no duty to communicate or present such Competitive Opportunity to the Corporation or its Affiliates, (ii) have the right to either hold any such Competitive Opportunity for such Identified Person’s own account and benefit or the account of the Apollo Entities and their respective Affiliates or Identified Person’s Affiliates or to direct, recommend, assign or otherwise transfer such Competitive Opportunity to persons or entities other than the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates or direct or indirect equity holders and (iii) notwithstanding any provision in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to the contrary, not be obligated or liable to the Corporation, any stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation or any other person or entity by reason of the fact that such Identified Person, directly or indirectly, took any of the actions noted in the immediately preceding clause (ii), pursued or acquired such Competitive Opportunity for itself or any other person or entity or failed to communicate or present such Competitive Opportunity to the Corporation or its Affiliates.

C. Acknowledgement. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation or any other interest in the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article XI.

D. Interpretation; Duties. In the event of a conflict or other inconsistency between this Article XI and any other Article or provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, this Article XI shall prevail under all circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances shall (i) an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries be deemed to be an “Identified Person”, and (ii) the Corporation be deemed to have waived or renounced any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered any opportunity to participate in, any Competitive Opportunity that is presented to an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, irrespective of whether such employee (a) is a director or officer of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or their respective affiliates or (b) otherwise would be an Identified Person absent being an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

E. Section 122(17) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to paragraph D of this Article XI, this Article XI is intended to constitute, with respect to the Identified Persons, a disclaimer and renunciation, to the fullest extent permitted under Section 122(17) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, of any right of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates with respect to the matters set forth in this Article XI, and this Article XI shall be construed to effect such disclaimer and renunciation to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

F. Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Article XI, “Affiliate” shall mean (i) with respect to the Apollo Entities, any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by an Apollo Entity, controls an Apollo Entity, or is under common control with an Apollo Entity, but excluding (a) the Corporation, and (b) any entity that is controlled by the Corporation (including its direct and indirect subsidiaries), and (ii) in respect of the Corporation, any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation; and “Apollo Entities” shall mean, collectively, Apollo Global Management, Inc., its subsidiaries (collectively, “Apollo”), and investment funds managed, sponsored or advised by affiliates of Apollo, including Apollo Management IX, L.P.

ARTICLE XII

Meeting of Stockholders

12.1 Place of Meeting. Meetings of stockholders may be held at such place, either within or without of the State of Delaware, as may be designated by or in the manner provided in these Bylaws, or, if not so designated, at the registered office of the corporation or the principal executive offices of the corporation.

12.2 Annual Meeting. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held each year at such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or Co-Chief Executive Officer (in the event there are two or more Co-Chief Executive Officers, each a “Chief Executive Officer”) and stated in the notice of the meeting. At such annual meeting, the stockholders shall elect by a plurality vote a Board of Directors. The stockholders shall also transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meetings.

To be properly brought before the annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of record. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered personally or deposited in the United States mail, or delivered to a common carrier for transmission to the recipient or actually transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means to the recipient or sent by other means of written communication, postage or delivery charges prepaid in all such cases, and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation, addressed to the attention of the Secretary of the corporation, not less than fifty (50) days nor more than seventy-five (75) days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting (regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of that meeting to a later date); provided, however, that in the event that less than sixty-five (65) days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the earlier of (a) the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the scheduled annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs, and (b) two (2) days prior to the date of the scheduled meeting. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class, series and number of shares of the corporation that are owned beneficially by the stockholder, and (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business.

Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting.

The Chairman of the Board of the corporation (or such other person presiding at the meeting in accordance with these Bylaws) shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

12.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, by the Chief Executive Officer or Secretary only at the request of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or by a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

12.4 Notice of Meetings. Written notice of stockholders’ meetings, stating the place, date and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such special meeting is called, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting.

When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

-5-

12.5 Business Matter of a Special Meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice, except to the extent such notice is waived or is not required.

12.6 List of Stockholders. The officer in charge of the stock ledger of the corporation or the transfer agent shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place, if other than the place of the meeting, shall be specified in the notice of the meeting. The list shall also be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present in person thereat.

12.7 Organization and Conduct of Business. The Chairman of the Board or, in his or her absence, the Chief Executive Officer or President of the corporation or, in their absence, such person as the Board may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as Chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the Secretary of the corporation, the Secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the Chairman appoints.

The Chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seems to him or her in order.

12.8 Quorum and Adjournments. Except where otherwise provided by law or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented in proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to have less than a quorum if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat who are present in person or represented by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

12.9 Voting Rights. Unless otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder.

-6-

12.10 Majority Vote. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

12.11 Record Date for Stockholder Notice and Voting. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to vote, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or entitled to exercise any right in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days before any other action. If the Board does not so fix a record date, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

12.12 Proxies. Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the Secretary of the corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission, electronic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

12.13 Inspectors of Election. The corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more persons to act as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.

12.14 Action Without a Meeting. No action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the corporation may be taken without a meeting and the power of the stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

ARTICLE XIII

Directors

13.1 Number, Election, Tenure and Qualifications. Subject to the rights of any stockholder as set forth in any agreement with the corporation, including the Investor Rights Agreement, dated [•], by and between the corporation and Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P. (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time) (any such agreement, an “Investor/Company Agreement”), the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or stockholders at the annual meeting or any special meeting called for that purpose. The classes of directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be as provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

At each annual meeting of the stockholders, directors shall be elected for that class of directors whose terms are expiring, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2 of this Article, and each director so elected shall hold office until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation.

Subject to the rights of any stockholders pursuant to any Investor/Company Agreement or the rights of holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, may be made by any nominating committee or person appointed by the Board of Directors; nominations may also be made by any stockholder of record of the corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered personally or deposited in the United States mail, or delivered to a common carrier for transmission to the recipient or actually transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means to the recipient or sent by other means of written communication, postage or delivery charges prepaid in all such cases, and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation addressed to the attention of the Secretary of the corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting (regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of that meeting to a later date); provided, however, that, in the case of an annual meeting and in the event that less than one hundred (100) days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 7th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the scheduled meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. Such stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class, series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially by the person, (iv) a statement as to the person’s citizenship, and (v) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of the stockholder and (ii) the class, series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially by the stockholder. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as director of the corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein or pursuant to the terms of any Investor/Company Agreement that otherwise provides stockholders with specific rights with respect to nominating persons to serves as directors.

-8-

In connection with any annual meeting, the Chairman of the Board of Directors (or such other person presiding at such meeting in accordance with these Bylaws) shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Directors shall serve as provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation. Directors need not be stockholders.

13.2 Enlargement and Vacancies. The number of members of the Board of Directors may be increased at any time by vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Subject to the terms of any Investor/Company Agreement, sole power to fill vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be vested in the Board of Directors through action by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election at which the term of the class to which they have been elected expires and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, these by-laws, or any Investor/Company Agreement, may exercise the powers of the full board until the vacancy is filled.

13.3 Resignation and Removal. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the corporation at its principal place of business or to the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt of such notice unless the notice specifies such resignation to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event. Any director or the entire Board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of at least a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, unless otherwise specified by law or the Certificate of Incorporation.

13.4 Powers. The business of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things which are not by statute or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

-9-

13.5 Chairman of the Board. If the Board of Directors appoints a Chairman of the Board, such Chairman shall, when present, preside at all meetings of the stockholders and the Board.

The annual meetings shall be for the purposes of organization, and an election of officers and the transaction of other business.

13.8 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such time and place as may be determined from time to time by the Board; provided that any director who is absent when such a determination is made shall be given prompt notice of such determination, which notice shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 3.9.

13.9 Special Meetings Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Secretary, or on the written request of two or more directors, or by one director in the event that there is only one director in office. Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered personally or by telephone to each director, or sent by first-class mail or telegram, cable, commercial delivery service, telex, facsimile transmission, or electronic means, charges prepaid, sent to such director’s business or home address as they appear upon the records of the corporation. In case such notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days prior to the time of holding of the meeting. In case such notice is delivered personally or by telegram, cable, commercial delivery service, telex, facsimile transmission, or electronic means, it shall be so delivered at least four hours prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. A notice or waiver of notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not specify the purposes of the meeting.

13.10 Quorum, Action at Meeting, Adjournments. At all meetings of the Board, a majority of directors then in office, but in no event less than one third (1/3) of the entire Board, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. For purposes of this section, the term “entire Board” shall mean the number of directors last fixed by the stockholders or directors, as the case may be, in accordance with law and these Bylaws; provided, however, that if less than all the number so fixed of directors were elected, the “entire Board” shall mean the greatest number of directors so elected to hold office at any one time pursuant to such authorization. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, a majority of the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

-10-

13.11 Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

13.12 Telephone Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any member of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or of any committee, as the case may be, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

13.13 Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the bylaws of the corporation; and, unless the resolution designating such committee or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and make such reports to the Board as the Board may request. Except as the Board may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these Bylaws for the conduct of its business by the Board.

13.14 Fees and Compensation of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

13.15 Rights of Inspection. Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his or her position as a director.

Indemnification

16.1 Actions Other Than By or in the Right of the Corporation. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

16.2 Actions By or in the Right of the Corporation. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.

16.3 Success on the Merits. To the extent that any person described in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article 6 has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in said Sections, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

-15-

16.4 Specific Authorization. Any indemnification under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article 6 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of any person described in said Sections is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in said Sections. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders of the corporation.

16.5 Advance Payment. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the manner provided for in Section 6.4 of this Article 6 upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of any person described in said Section to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that such person is entitled to indemnification by the corporation as authorized in this Article 6.

16.6 Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Article 6 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Any repeal or amendment of any of the provisions of this Article 6 shall not adversely affect any right or potential right of any indemnitee existing at the time of such repeal or amendment.

16.7 Insurance. The Board of Directors may authorize, by a vote of the majority of the full board, the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article 6.

16.8 Severability. If any word, clause or provision of this Article 6 or any award made hereunder shall for any reason be determined to be invalid, the provisions hereof shall not otherwise be affected thereby but shall remain in full force and effect.

16.9 Intent of Article. The intent of this Article 6 is to provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. To the extent that such Section or any successor Section may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this Article 6 shall be amended automatically and construed so as to permit indemnification to the fullest extent from time to time permitted by law.

Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

17.3 Transfer of Stock. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate of shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of uncertificated share, such uncertificated shares shall be canceled and issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated shares shall be made to the person entitled thereto and the transaction shall be recorded upon the books of the corporation.

17.4 Registered Stockholders. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

The Board may direct that a new certificate or certificates be issued to replace any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing the issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require, and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

ARTICLE XVIII

18.1 Transactions with Interested Parties. No contract or transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction or solely because the vote or votes of such director or officer are counted for such purpose, if:

(a) the material facts as to such person’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or

The initial Apollo Directors shall be mutually acceptable to the Corporation (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and any replacement Apollo Directors shall be approved by a majority of the non-Apollo Directors of the Board (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that the Corporation agrees that Xxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx-Xxxxx are acceptable individuals to serve as Apollo Directors.

In addition to the above, the Parties agree that one director shall be the person then serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation (the “CEO Director”), who shall initially be, effective upon the closing of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, Xxxxxxx Xxxx. In the event that the CEO Director shall cease to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation for any reason, the Parties shall cause (i) the former Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation to be promptly removed from the Board if such person has not resigned as a member of the Board; and (ii) such person’s replacement as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation to be appointed as the new CEO Director.

The Board of the Corporation as in effect immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement shall determine who shall fill the remaining six (6) director seats (i.e. the non-Apollo Director and the non-CEO Director seats).

In the event the size of the Board is increased or decreased at any time to other than eleven (11) directors, the Apollo Stockholders’ collective nomination rights under this Section 2(a) shall be proportionately increased or decreased, respectively, so that the Board is composed of a number of Apollo Directors that most closely equals the percentage of the Board originally composed of the Apollo Directors pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), rounded up to the nearest whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Apollo elects not to fill a board seat to which it is entitled, the size of the Board shall be reduced until such time as Apollo determines to fill such seat at which time it shall be correspondingly increased.

(b) Election of Directors. The Corporation shall take all commercially reasonable action within its power to cause all nominees timely nominated pursuant to Section 2(a) to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to the Corporation’s stockholders for election as directors at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation (and/or in connection with any election by written consent or at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation), and the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of each such nominee, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such nominees, in each case subject to applicable law (for the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation will be required to use substantially the same level of efforts and provide substantially the same level of support as is used and/or provided for the other director nominees of the Corporation with respect to the applicable annual meeting of stockholders or action by written consent in lieu of such meeting). For the avoidance of doubt, failure of the stockholders of the Corporation to elect any Apollo Director to the Board shall not affect the right of the Apollo Stockholders to nominate directors for election pursuant to Section 2(a) in any future election of directors.

(c) Replacement of Directors. In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disqualification, resignation, removal or failure to be elected by the Company stockholders (and no other director has been elected by the stockholders of the Corporation to fill such vacancy) of an Apollo Director nominated pursuant to Section 2(a), or designated pursuant to this Section 2(c), the Apollo Majority shall have the right to designate a replacement to fill such vacancy for the Apollo Director consistent with the provisions of Section 2(a) (including being reasonably acceptable to the Board, excluding the Apollo Directors), and if the Apollo Majority exercises such right, the Board shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such designee to be promptly appointed to the Board to fill such vacancy, subject to applicable law.

(d) Removal of Directors. Upon the written request of the Apollo Majority seeking to remove and/or replace an Apollo Director nominated pursuant to Section 2(a), or designated pursuant to Section 2(c), the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such request, including to promptly call a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call more than a total of two special meetings with respect to the removal of Apollo Directors.

(e) Committees. The Board shall determine the composition and make-up of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and any other committee of the Board.

(f) Board Leadership. The lead independent director shall be selected by the Board.

(g) Laws and Regulations. Nothing in this Section 2 shall be deemed to require that any party hereto, or any director of the Corporation, act in violation of any applicable provision of law, regulation, legal duty or requirement or stock exchange rule.

(h) Diversity Requirements. So long as any Apollo Directors are required to be Independent Apollo Directors pursuant to this Section 2, Independent Apollo Directors, and Persons nominated as Independent Apollo Directors pursuant to this Section 2, shall fulfill their pro rata portion (rounded to the nearest whole number) of any diversity requirements pursuant to law, stock exchange rules or similar regulatory requirements binding on the Corporation based on the percentage of the Board composed of the Apollo Directors (for example, if Apollo Directors constitute four of eleven members of the Board, including two Independent Apollo Directors, and the Board is required by applicable law to have a minimum of three female directors, one of the Independent Apollo Directors would be required to be female); provided that (i) the Apollo Stockholders may elect to satisfy all or part of any such pro rata allocation with non-Independent Apollo Directors in lieu of Independent Apollo Directors and (ii) once duly elected or appointed, no Apollo Director shall be required prior to the next annual meeting to resign or be removed from the Board as a result of failing to meet such diversity requirements.

(i) [Waiver of Corporate Opportunity. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and subject to any express agreement otherwise that may from time to time be in effect, the Corporation agrees that any Apollo Director, any Apollo Entity and any Affiliate or portfolio company thereof (collectively, “Covered Persons”) may, and shall have no duty not to, (i) invest in, carry on and conduct, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, equityholder or investor in any person, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Corporation or its Affiliates; and/or (iii) make investments in any kind of property in which the Corporation may make investments. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and subject to any express agreement otherwise that may from time to time be in effect, the Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy to participate in any business or investments of any Covered Person as currently conducted or as may be conducted in the future, and waives any claim against a Covered Person arising in connection with or relating to a such Covered Person’s participation in any such business or investment. The Corporation agrees that, subject to any express agreement otherwise that may from time to time be in effect, in the event that a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (x) the Covered Person outside of his or her capacity as a member of the Board and (y) the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, the Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation or its Subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any potential transaction or matter of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge, except as subject to any express agreement otherwise that may from time to time be in effect or for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board, and waives any claim against each Covered Person arising in connection with or relating to the fact that such Covered Person (A) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any Affiliate or other person, (B) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation; provided, that, in each such case, that any corporate opportunity which is expressly agreed by the Apollo Entities to belong to the Corporation or is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board shall belong to the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances shall (i) an employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries be deemed to be a “Covered Person”, and (ii) the Corporation be deemed to have waived or renounced any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered any opportunity to participate in, any corporate, business, or investment opportunity that is presented to an employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, irrespective of whether such employee (a) is a director or officer of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or (b) otherwise would be an Cover Person absent being an employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.]¹

Section 3 Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The Corporation shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as determined by the Board. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that any Apollo Directors who are partners, members, employees, or consultants of any Apollo Entity may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the applicable Apollo Entity (collectively, the “Apollo Indemnitors”). The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided in the Charter, Bylaws and/or any indemnification agreements to any Apollo Director in his or her capacity as a director of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (such that the Corporation’s obligations to such indemnitees in their capacities as directors are primary and any obligation of the Apollo Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitees are secondary). Such indemnitees shall, in their capacities as directors, be entitled to all the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and entitled to insurance to the extent provided under (i) Charter and/or Bylaws in effect from time to time and/or (ii) such other agreement, if any, between the Corporation and such indemnitees, without regard to any rights such indemnitees may have against the Apollo Indemnitors. No advancement or payment by the Apollo Indemnitors on behalf of such indemnitees with respect to any claim for which such indemnitees have sought indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance from the Corporation in their capacities as directors shall affect the foregoing and the Apollo Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such indemnitees against the Corporation.

¹	NTD: To be added if the Corporation’s shareholders fail to approve the corporate opportunity doctrine waiver charter amendment.

Section 4 Information.

(a) For so long as the Apollo Stockholders collectively beneficially own at least 10% of the Outstanding Stock, the Corporation shall, and shall cause its material Subsidiaries to, permit the Apollo Stockholders and their respective designated representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to the Corporation, to inspect, review and/or make copies and extracts from the books and records of the Corporation or any of such material Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs, finances and condition of the Corporation or any of such material Subsidiaries with the officers of the Corporation or any such material Subsidiary, and with respect to matters pertaining to any and all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, the Corporation will furnish to the Apollo Stockholders any information and other reasonable assistance requested by the Apollo Majority in connection with the filing of any Tax Return. For so long as the Apollo Stockholders beneficially own 10% or more in the aggregate of the Outstanding Stock, upon the written request from any Apollo Stockholder and for the purposes set forth in the first sentence of Section 4(b), the Corporation shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide such Apollo Stockholder, in addition to other information that might be reasonably requested by such Apollo Stockholder from time to time, (i) direct access to the Corporation’s auditors and officers, (ii) regularly prepared quarter-end reports, to be provided within such number of days after the end of each quarter as required to comply with SEC requirements, (iii) if the Apollo Stockholders do not have a representative on the Board or the applicable committee of the Board, in each case, who is not an Independent Apollo Director, copies of all materials provided to the Board (or such committee of the Board) at the same time as provided to the directors (or members of such committee of the Board ), (iv) access to appropriate officers and directors of the Corporation at such reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice as may be requested by the Apollo Stockholders for consultation with respect to matters relating to the business and affairs of the Corporation and its material Subsidiaries, (v) if the Apollo Stockholders do not have a representative on the Board who is not an Independent Apollo Director, information in advance with respect to any significant corporate actions, including, without limitation, extraordinary dividends or distributions, mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of assets, issuances of significant amounts of debt or equity and material amendments to the Charter or Bylaws or the comparable governing documents of any of its material Subsidiaries, and to provide the Apollo Stockholders with the right to consult with the Corporation and its material Subsidiaries with respect to such actions, (vi) flash data, in a format to be prescribed by the Apollo Majority (provided that such format is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation), to be provided within ten (10) days after the end of each quarter and (vii) to the extent otherwise prepared by the Corporation, operating and capital expenditure budgets and periodic information packages relating to the operations and cash flows of the Corporation and its material Subsidiaries (all such information so furnished pursuant to this Section 4(a), the “Information”). Subject to Section 4(b), any Apollo Stockholder (and any party receiving Information from such Apollo Stockholder) who shall receive Information shall maintain the confidentiality of such Information, using the same degree of care that any Apollo Stockholder would employ with respect to its own most sensitive proprietary, confidential or financial information. The Apollo Stockholders acknowledge and agree that all of the information received by it in connection with this Agreement is of a confidential nature and may be regarded as material non-public information under Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC and that such information must be kept confidential by the Apollo Stockholders and not disclosed, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement does not prohibit any Person from disclosing any information that constitutes the “tax treatment” or “tax structure” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(3)(ii)) of any relevant transaction. The Apollo Stockholders have implemented appropriate measures designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws regarding trading in connection with material non-public information. The Corporation shall not be required to provide such portions of any Information containing attorney-client, work product or similar privileged information of the Corporation or other information required by the Corporation to be kept confidential pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality agreement with a third Person or applicable law, so long as the Corporation has used its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to the Apollo Stockholders without the loss of any such privilege or without violating such confidentiality obligation. The Corporation shall retain all books and records with respect to tax matters pertinent to the Corporation relating any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(b) Individuals associated with the Apollo Entities may from time to time serve on the Board or the equivalent governing body of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries. The Corporation, on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, recognizes that such individuals (i) will from time to time receive non-public information concerning the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) may (subject to the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with Section 4(a)) share such information with other individuals associated with the Apollo Entities who have a need to know such information for the purpose of facilitating support to such individuals in their capacity as members of the Board or such equivalent governing body or enabling the Apollo Stockholders, as equityholders, to better evaluate the Corporation’s performance and prospects, provided that such other individuals are informed about the confidential nature of such information and agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information consistent with the confidentiality obligations under Section 4(a). The Corporation, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably consents to such sharing, subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this paragraph. In the event that any Apollo Entity or any of its representatives are requested or required by law, regulation or legal or regulatory process to disclose any non-public Information concerning the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, such Apollo Entity or such representative may disclose only that portion of the requested information which it is advised by counsel is required by law, regulation or legal or regulatory process to be disclosed so long as such Apollo Entity or such representatives uses reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that such disclosed information will be afforded confidential treatment and notifies the Corporation at least 5 business days in advance, if permitted by applicable law and commercially feasible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Apollo Entity may disclose any information or data that it can demonstrate: (i) is or was independently developed by an Apollo Entity or its representatives without the benefit of any non-public Information or in breach of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, dated December 17, 2020, by and between the Corporation and Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, a Delaware corporation; (ii) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of disclosure by an Apollo Entity or its representatives in breach of this Agreement or any other duty of confidentiality owed to the Corporation; (iii) becomes available to an Apollo Entity or its representatives from a source other than the Corporation or any of its representatives, so long as that source is, to such Apollo Entity’s or its representatives’ knowledge, as applicable, not prohibited from disclosing such information or data to them by any restrictions on disclosure or use or any other duty of confidentiality to the Corporation; or (iv) is known to, or already in the possession of, an Apollo Entity or its representatives on a non-confidential basis prior to it being furnished pursuant to this Agreement, so long as, to such Apollo Entity’s or its representatives’ knowledge, the source of such information was not bound by any restrictions on disclosure or use or any other duty of confidentiality to the Corporation.

Section 5 Certain Actions.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b), without the approval of a majority of the directors then on the Board, which must include the approval of a majority of the Apollo Directors nominated pursuant to Section 2(a) or designated pursuant to Section 2(c), the Corporation shall not, and (to the extent applicable) shall not permit any material Subsidiary of the Corporation to amend, modify or repeal any provision of the Charter, the Bylaws or similar organizational documents of the applicable material Subsidiary in a manner that is intended to disproportionately adversely affect the Apollo Stockholders or which is knowingly in material violation of the rights of the Apollo Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement. This provision shall only apply in the event that at least one Apollo Director notifies the Board in advance with respect to Board action or the Company (or Subsidiary board or other applicable governing body of such Subsidiary) with respect to actions of a material Subsidiary, promptly upon having notice of such action, that in such director’s view, the foregoing prohibition applies.

(b) The Apollo Entities further agree they shall not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, publicly request the Corporation to amend or waive any provision of this Section 6 (including this sentence) or do so in a manner that would require the Corporation to publicly disclose such request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6, shall prohibit the Apollo Entities from communicating privately with the Corporations’ directors, officers or advisors, so long as such communications are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require any public disclosure of such communications.

(c) This Section 6 shall automatically terminate on the first date following the 90^th day, after the Apollo Stockholders collectively beneficially own less than 5% of the Outstanding Stock. Additionally, in the event that (i) the Corporation engages in, enters into or continues any material discussions or negotiations regarding any proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control, approves or recommends, or publicly proposes to approve or recommend, any Change in Control, or enters into a definitive agreement providing for a Change in Control; (ii) any Person or Group (other than the Apollo Entities) commences a tender offer or exchange offer for securities of the Corporation, which, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control; (iii) the Board resolves publicly to engage in a formal process that is intended to result in a transaction, which, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control; or (iv) a Person or Group (other than the Apollo Entities) enters into an agreement or commences a proxy solicitation in which such Person or Group would acquire the ability to elect a majority of the Board, then this Section 6 shall automatically terminate, effective upon the occurrence of such event.

No course of dealing between the Corporation or its Subsidiaries and the Apollo Stockholders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 18 Entire Agreement.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and, except for the Merger Agreement, supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith, from and after the date of this Agreement.

Section 2. Registration Rights.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, the Apollo Stockholders may make a written request (“Registration Request”) to the Corporation for registration under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities, provided that any Registration Request must be for Registrable Securities with an aggregate dollar value of $100 million or greater, and the Apollo Stockholders may only make two Registration Requests, written requests for Short Form Registration, or written requests for Shelf Registration, in the aggregate, in any rolling twelve month period. A Registration Request which does not result in an effective registration under the Securities Act or a Registration Request that is withdrawn prior to the filing of the requested Registration Statement shall not be counted as a Registration Request for purposes of the limits in the preceding sentence. All Registration Requests made pursuant to this Section 2 will specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of disposition thereof.

-3-

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Corporation’s receipt of information from the Apollo Stockholders that is required by applicable law to be included in such Shelf Registration regarding such Apollo Stockholders, within two Business Days after the Closing Date, the Corporation shall file an automatically effective registration statement on Form S-3ASR covering resales of the Registrable Securities by the Apollo Stockholders, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective for a period of 3 years following the Closing Date. In addition, (i) at any time that the Corporation is qualified for the use of Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor form thereto, the Apollo Stockholders shall have the right to request in writing registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by any member of the Apollo Stockholders group on Form S-3 (or any successor form) or any similar short form registration statement, if available (a “Short-Form Registration”) and (ii) at any time, and from time to time, that the initial registration statement on Form S-3ASR or other shelf registration statements is not in effect or will expire within 90 days, the Apollo Stockholders may request in writing a shelf offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act (including the registration statement referred to in the immediately precedent sentence, a “Shelf Registration”), in which case the provisions of this Section 2(b) shall be applicable, provided that the Apollo Stockholders may only make two Registration Requests, written requests for Short Form Registration, or written requests for Shelf Registration, in the aggregate, in any rolling twelve month period. All written requests for Short Form Registration shall (i) specify the aggregate number of Registrable Securities intended to be sold or disposed of, (ii) state the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities and (iii) whether or not such Short Form Registration shall be a Shelf Registration, and upon receipt of such request, the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts promptly to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered. Any Apollo Stockholder whose Registrable Securities are included in an effective Shelf Registration (a “Shelf Holder”) may initiate an offering or sale of all or part of such Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Take-Down”). If the Shelf Holders elect in a written request delivered to the Corporation (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”), a Shelf Take-Down may be in the form of an Underwritten Offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”) and, if necessary, the Corporation shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Shelf Registration for such purpose as soon as practicable. The Shelf Holders shall indicate in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice whether they intend for such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to involve a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other marketing effort by the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”). If the Shelf Holders desire to effect a Shelf Take-Down that does not constitute a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, and that does not involve an Underwritten Offering (a “Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down”), the Shelf Holders shall so indicate in a written request delivered to the Corporation no later than two calendar days prior to the expected date of such Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down, which request shall include (i) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down and (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down, and, if necessary, the Corporation shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Shelf Registration for such purpose as soon as practicable. All determinations as to whether to complete any Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down shall be at the discretion of the Shelf Holders. The Corporation shall not be required to effect more than three Underwritten Shelf Take Downs in any rolling twelve-month period and shall not be required to effect any Underwritten Shelf Take Down unless the aggregate gross proceeds expected to be received from the sale of Registrable Securities in such offering is at least $100 million.

-4-

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2, promptly upon receipt of any such Registration Request, the Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration under the Securities Act within 120 days of such request (subject to any lock-up restrictions) of the Registrable Securities that the Corporation has been so requested to register, including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with the applicable regulations promulgated under the Securities Act. At any time prior to the registration, the Apollo Stockholders may revoke a Registration Request by providing a notice to the Corporation revoking such Registration Request.

(d) If the Corporation receives a Registration Request and the Corporation furnishes to the Apollo Stockholders a copy of a resolution of the Board (certified by the secretary of the Corporation) stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be materially adverse to the Corporation for a Registration Statement (or an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or a Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down) to be filed or effected on or before the date such filing or take-downs would otherwise be required hereunder, the Corporation shall have the right to defer such filing or take-downs for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after the date such filing or take-downs would otherwise be required hereunder (provided that such sixty (60) day period may be extended to a period of up to ninety (90) days to the extent such suspension is due to ongoing negotiations or discussions regarding a material merger, acquisition or other similar transaction and the requirements for such deferral set forth in this sentence continue to be satisfied. If the Corporation furnishes to the Apollo Stockholders a copy of a resolution of the Board (certified by the secretary of the Corporation) stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be materially adverse to the Corporation to continue to permit the use of any prospectus contained any Shelf Registration Statement, the Corporation shall be entitled to suspend the use of such prospectus for a reasonable period of time not to exceed (i) sixty (60) days in succession (provided that such consecutive sixty (60) day period may be extended to a period of up to ninety (90) days in succession to the extent such suspension is due to ongoing negotiations or discussions regarding a material merger, acquisition or other similar transaction and the requirements for such suspension set forth in this sentence continue to be satisfied (the “Extension Period”)) or (ii) ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any rolling twelve (12) month period if the Extension Period has not been triggered or (iii) one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate in any rolling twelve month period if the Extension Period has been triggered. The Corporation shall not be permitted to take such action in the foregoing sentences more than twice in any 360-day period (except that the Corporation shall be able to use this right more than twice in any 12-month period if the Corporation is exercising such right during the 15-day period prior to the Corporation’s regularly scheduled quarterly earnings announcement date and the total number of days of postponement in such 12-month period does not exceed 120 days). If the Corporation shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, the Apollo Stockholders may withdraw their Registration Request by so advising the Corporation in writing. In addition, if the Corporation receives a Registration Request and the Corporation is then in the process of preparing to register Common Stock in connection with a primary offering, the Corporation shall inform the Apollo Stockholders of the Corporation’s intent to engage in a primary offering and may require the Apollo Stockholders to withdraw such Registration Request for a period of up to 90 days so that the Corporation may complete its offering. In the event that the Corporation ceases to pursue such primary offering, it shall promptly inform the Apollo Stockholders in writing and the Apollo Stockholders shall be permitted to submit a new Registration Request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Apollo Stockholders shall have the right to participate in the Corporation’s primary offering as provided in Section 3 (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3, the Apollo Stockholders shall have the right to piggyback on the Corporation’s primary offering).

-5-

(e) Registrations under this Section 2 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC (i) as shall be selected by the Apollo Stockholders and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and (ii) as shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the Registration Request. If, in connection with any registration under this Section 2 that is proposed by the Apollo Stockholders to be on Form S-3 or any successor form, the managing underwriter, if any, shall advise the Apollo Stockholders or the Corporation in writing that in its opinion the use of another permitted form is of material importance to the success of the offering, then such registration shall be on such other permitted form.

(f) The Corporation shall use its best efforts to keep any Registration Statement filed in response to a Registration Request effective for as long as is necessary for the Apollo Stockholders to dispose of all of the covered securities.

(g) In the case of an Underwritten Offering that is the subject of a Registration Request, the Apollo Stockholders shall select the underwriter(s) (including the roles thereof); provided that such selection is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation.

(h) From and after the date hereof until the termination of the Agreement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility to be able to file and use a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) and to be a “well-known seasoned issuer” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

Section 3. Piggyback Registration Right.

(a) Participation. Subject to Section 3(b), if the Corporation proposes to file a Registration Statement, whether on its own behalf or in connection with the exercise of any registration rights by any holder of Registrable Securities possessing such rights (other than (i) a registration relating solely to an employee benefit plan or employee stock plan, a dividend reinvestment plan, or a merger or a consolidation, (ii) a registration incidental to an issuance of debt securities under Rule 144A, (iii) a registration on Form S-4 or any successor form or (iv) a registration on Form S-8 or any successor form), with respect to an offering (for its own account or otherwise, and including any registration pursuant to Section 2) that includes any Registrable Securities, then the Corporation shall give prompt notice (the “Initial Notice”) to the Apollo Stockholders, and the Apollo Stockholders shall be entitled to include in such Registration Statement the Registrable Securities held by them. The Initial Notice shall offer the Apollo Stockholders the right, subject to Section 3(b) (the “Piggyback Registration Right”), to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Apollo Stockholders may request and shall set forth (A) the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement and (B) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that is proposed to be included in such Registration Statement. Subject to Section 3(b), the Corporation shall include in such Registration Statement such Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests to register within ten (10) days after the Initial Notice has been given.

-6-

(b) Underwriters’ Cutback. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration pursuant to Section 2 or this Section 3 involves an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriter(s) of such proposed Underwritten Offering advises the Corporation or the Apollo Stockholders that the total or kind of securities that the Apollo Stockholders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering (or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, as applicable), or that the inclusion of certain holders of the Registrable Securities in such offering, would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered in such offering (or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, as applicable), then the number of securities proposed to be included in such registration (or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, as applicable) shall be allocated among the Corporation and the selling Apollo Stockholders and other applicable holders of the Registrable Securities, such that the number of securities that each such Person shall be entitled to sell in the Underwritten Offering (or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, as applicable) shall be included in the following order:

(i) In the case of an exercise of any registration rights by the Apollo Stockholders or any other holder of Registrable Securities possessing such rights:

(1) first, the securities held by the Person(s) exercising such registration rights and the holders of registrable securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the terms of this Section 3 or pursuant to any other agreement containing piggyback registration rights, pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by each such Person in connection with such registration; and

(2) second, the securities to be issued and sold by the Corporation in such registration.

(ii) In all other cases:

(1) first, the securities to be issued and sold by the Corporation in such registration; and

(2) second, the securities held by the Apollo Stockholders or other applicable holders of registrable securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the terms of this Section 3 or pursuant to any other agreement containing piggyback registration rights, pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by each such Person in connection with such registration.

-7-

(c) Corporation Control. Except for a Registration Statement being filed in connection with the exercise of a Registration Request, a Short Form Registration or a Shelf Registration subject to Section 2, the Corporation may decline to file a Registration Statement after giving the Initial Notice, or withdraw any such Registration Statement after filing but prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement; provided that the Corporation shall promptly notify each Apollo Stockholder who was to participate in such offering in writing of any such action; provided, further, that the Corporation shall bear all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Apollo Stockholder or otherwise in connection with such unfilled or withdrawn Registration Statement, up to a maximum of $50,000 for the Apollo Stockholders in the aggregate, and no Apollo Stockholders shall be deemed to have made a Registration Request with respect to the unfilled or withdrawn Registration Statement. Except as provided in Section 2(g), the Corporation shall have sole discretion to select any and all underwriters that may participate in any Underwritten Offering.

(d) Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Person agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any customary underwriting arrangements approved by the Corporation and provides the questionnaires, powers of attorney, customary indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents required for such underwriting arrangements. Nothing in this Section 3(d) shall be construed to create any additional rights regarding the piggyback registration of Registrable Securities in any Person otherwise than as set forth herein.

(e) Expenses. As between the Corporation and the Apollo Stockholders, the Corporation will pay all registration fees and other expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to Section 2 and this Section 3; provided that each Apollo Stockholder shall pay all applicable underwriting fees, discounts and similar charges (pro rata based on the securities sold) and that the Apollo Stockholders shall be entitled to a single counsel (at the Corporation’s expense) to be selected by the Apollo Stockholders.

Section 4. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Corporation. The Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each selling Apollo Stockholder, its officers, managers, employees, representatives, Affiliates, and any portfolio companies of any Apollo Stockholder or its Affiliates, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may be caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Corporation by such selling Apollo Stockholder for use therein; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Corporation by such selling Apollo Stockholder expressly for use therein and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the securities to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.

-8-

(b) Indemnification by Selling Apollo Stockholder. Each selling Apollo Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the Corporation, its directors, officers, employees and representatives and each Person who controls the Corporation (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Corporation by such selling Apollo Stockholder expressly for use therein and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the securities to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. In no event shall the liability of any selling Apollo Stockholder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such selling Apollo Stockholder upon the sale of the securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation (except in the event of liability for fraud by such selling Apollo Stockholder). The Corporation and the selling Apollo Stockholder shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above with respect to information so furnished in writing by such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt (but in any event within thirty (30) days after such Person has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for indemnification) written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure; provided, further, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnified party shall not have any obligation to consent to any settlement involving the imposition of equitable remedies or involving the imposition of any material obligations on such indemnified party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder. No indemnified party will have any obligation to consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Whenever the indemnified party or the indemnifying party receives a firm offer to settle a claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder, it shall promptly notify the other of such offer. If the indemnifying party refuses to accept such offer within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of such offer (or of notice thereof), such claim shall continue to be contested and, if such claim is within the scope of the indemnifying party’s indemnity contained herein, the indemnified party shall be indemnified pursuant to the terms hereof. If the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing that the indemnifying party desires to accept such offer, but the indemnified party refuses to accept such offer within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the indemnified party may continue to contest such claim and, in such event, the total maximum liability of the indemnifying party to indemnify or otherwise reimburse the indemnified party hereunder with respect to such claim shall be limited to and shall not exceed the amount of such offer, plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to the date of notice that the indemnifying party desires to accept such offer; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any settlement of any claim involving the imposition of equitable remedies, to any settlement imposing any material obligations on such indemnified party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder, or to any settlement that does not include an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense or a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim in any one jurisdiction, unless in the written opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, use of one counsel would be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of each additional counsel.

-9-

(d) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in this Section 4 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Corporation and each selling Apollo Stockholder with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under federal or state law or regulation of governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

(e) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold such indemnified party harmless as contemplated by Section 4(a) and Section 4(b), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that no selling Apollo Stockholder shall be required to contribute in an amount greater than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such selling Apollo Stockholder with respect to the sale of any securities hereunder. 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 itself guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
