GOVERNANCE MATTERS

2.1 Board Designees.

(a) For so long as the HOOPP Stockholder owns at least 25% of the HOOPP Preferred Units as set forth on the Master Schedule (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications and similar transactions) (the “HOOPP Ownership Threshold”), the Company shall take all Necessary Action to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected one director designated for nomination by the HOOPP Stockholder to serve on the Board (the “HOOPP Designee”). The initial HOOPP Designee shall be Xxx Xxxxxx and any subsequent HOOPP Designee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Founder. Each of the Principal Stockholders agrees with the Company that it shall vote or caused to be voted all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder in favor of the HOOPP Designee at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which the HOOPP Designee is nominated for election. The Company agrees that, in addition to the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including any applicable fiduciary duties), taking all Necessary Action to effectuate the above will include, among other things and as applicable, (A) nominating and recommending the HOOPP Designee to be elected as a director and included in the slate of nominees in the class to be elected or appointed to the Board at the next (and each applicable subsequent) annual or special meeting of stockholders, (B) recommending that stockholders vote in favor of the HOOPP Designee, (C) not nominating in the slate of nominees to be elected or appointed at any such meeting more than the number of nominees to be so elected at such meeting and (D) soliciting proxies or consents in favor of the HOOPP Designee. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted to the HOOPP Stockholder to designate members of the Board are additive to, and not intended to limit in any way, the rights that the HOOPP Stockholder may have to nominate, elect or remove directors under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(b) Subject to Section 2.1(a), the HOOPP Stockholder shall have the exclusive right to (i) request the removal of the HOOPP Designee from the Board in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, and the Company shall, and each of the Principal Stockholders agrees with the Company to, take all Necessary Action to cause the removal (whether for or without cause) of the HOOPP Designee at the request of the HOOPP Stockholder and (ii)

designate a director for nomination and election to the Board to fill the vacancy (for the remainder of the then current term) created by reason of death, disability, removal or resignation or otherwise of the HOOPP Designee to the Board, and the Company shall, and each of the Principal Stockholders agrees with the Company to, take all Necessary Action to cause any such vacancy to be filled by a replacement HOOPP Designee nominated by the HOOPP Stockholder as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(c) For so long as the HOOPP Stockholder holds Equity Securities representing at least the HOOPP Ownership Threshold, the HOOPP Stockholder shall have the right to appoint one director, manager, officer or employee of the HOOPP Stockholder as an observer to the Board (the “HOOPP Observer”). The initial HOOPP Observer shall be Xxxxxx Xxxx and any subsequent designee reasonably acceptable to the Founder. The HOOPP Observer shall have the right to: (i) notice of meetings of the Board and any significant actions of the Company or any Subsidiary at the same time as the members of the Board receive such notice, (ii) attend and participate as a non-voting observer in all meetings of the Board, and (iii) access to the same information provided to the members of the Board at the same time as the members of the Board; provided, that the HOOPP Observer shall (x) not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof, (y) not have the right to vote on any matter brought before the Board or any committee thereof or to participate in any action by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof (and no vote or consent of the HOOPP Observer shall be required for purposes of determining whether any matter has been approved by the Board or any committee thereof), and (z) not be entitled to any other rights or powers of directors under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Delaware General Corporation Law, applicable Law or any other agreement to which the Company is a party. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide the HOOPP Observer with access to any information, materials or meetings (or portions thereof) if the Board reasonably determines that the exclusion of the HOOPP Observer is reasonably necessary to (a) preserve attorney-client privilege or protect highly confidential information or (b) avoid a conflict of interest between the Company and the HOOPP Stockholder or any of its Affiliates or breach of contractual or other legal obligations. The HOOPP Observer shall (i) keep all information received pursuant to the rights granted by this Agreement confidential in accordance with Section 6.10 and execute the acknowledgement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Observer Agreement”), (ii) not use such information in any way or for any purpose other than to assist the HOOPP Stockholder in evaluating and managing its investment in the Company and (iii) not disclose such information to any third-party except in accordance with Section 6.10 and confidentiality agreement referred to in the foregoing clause (i). The HOOPP Stockholder shall be liable for any breaches of the Observer Agreement by the HOOPP Observer. As long as the HOOPP Stockholder is entitled to appoint the HOOPP Observer in accordance with this Section 2.1(c), the HOOPP Stockholder shall be entitled to direct the replacement of the HOOPP Observer for any reason and at any time by delivering notice in writing or by electronic transmission of such replacement to the Company, which such replacement shall take effect at the time specified in such notice.

(d) Until the Sunset (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), the Founder Stockholder shall have the right to appoint one individual as an observer to the Board (the “Founder Observer”). The initial Founder Observer shall be Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx. The Founder Observer shall have the right to: (i) notice of meetings of the Board and any significant actions of the Company or any Subsidiary at the same time as the members of the Board receive such notice, (ii) attend and participate as a non-voting observer in all meetings of the Board, and (iii) access to the same information provided to the members of the Board at the same time as the members of the Board; provided, that the Founder Observer shall (x) not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof, (y) not have the right to vote on any matter brought before the Board or any committee thereof or to participate in any action by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof (and no vote or consent of the Founder Observer shall be required for purposes of determining whether any matter has been approved by the Board or any committee thereof), and (z) not be entitled to any other rights or powers of directors under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law, applicable Law or any other agreement to which the Company is a party. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide the Founder Observer with access to any information, materials or meetings (or portions thereof) if the Board reasonably determines that the exclusion of the Founder Observer is reasonably necessary to (a) preserve attorney-client privilege or protect highly confidential information or (b) avoid a conflict of interest between the Company and the Founder Stockholder or any of its Affiliates or breach of contractual or other legal obligations. The Founder Observer shall (i) keep all information received pursuant to the rights granted by this Agreement confidential in accordance with Section 6.10 and execute the Observer Agreement, (ii) not use such information in any way or for any purpose other than to assist the Founder Stockholder in evaluating and managing its investment in the Company and (iii) not disclose such information to any third-party except in accordance with Section 6.10 and the confidentiality agreement referred to in the foregoing clause (i). The Founder Stockholder shall be liable for any breaches of the Observer Agreement by the Founder Observer. As long as the Founder Stockholder is entitled to appoint the Founder Observer in accordance with this Section 2.1(d), The Founder Stockholder shall be entitled to direct the replacement of the Founder Observer for any reason and at any time by delivering notice in writing or by electronic transmission of such replacement to the Company, which such replacement shall take effect at the time specified in such notice.

(e) For greater certainty, although the obligations set forth in this Agreement are binding upon the parties hereto and any failure to comply herewith will constitute a breach of this Agreement, this Section 2.1 does not amend the voting rights of any class of Common Stock set forth under the Certificate of Incorporation.

2.2 Consent Rights. Until the earlier of (x) the Sunset (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) and (y) the date on which the Founder no longer serves as an employee, director or executive of the Company or director on the Board, in addition to any vote required by law or the applicable governing documents, the Company shall not take, and shall take all Necessary Action to cause its Subsidiaries not to take, directly or indirectly (whether by amendment, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise), any of the following actions without the prior written consent of the Founder or his designee, which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason:

(a) increase or decrease the size of the Board (provided, that the Board shall initially have seven directors);

If the Company files a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(i), the Founder Stockholder shall be provided with an opportunity to include for sale in such Registration Statement a number of Registrable Securities equal to the number of Registrable Securities sold by the HOOPP Stockholder. If the Company files a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(ii), the HOOPP Stockholder shall be provided with an opportunity to include for sale in such Registration Statement a number of Registrable Securities determined as follows: (i) up to the point at which the Founder Stockholder has Transferred in the aggregate, together with any prior Transfers of Class A Common Stock or Founder Common Units, 25% of the Founder Common Units held by the Founder Stockholder as of the date hereof (prior to taking into account any Founder Common Units sold in connection with the IPO), each Principal Stockholder shall be entitled to include the same percentage of Registrable Securities then held by such Principal Stockholder relative to such other Principal Stockholder as of the date of such Demand Registration; and (ii) thereafter, each Principal Stockholder shall be entitled to include a number of Registrable Securities equal to the number of Registrable Securities sold by the other Principal Stockholder.

(c) Demand Limitations; Effectiveness; Withdrawal. The Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to (i) Section 4.1(a) if another Demand Registration has become effective within the six months prior to the date of the Demand Registration; or (ii) Section 4.1(a)(i) if another Demand Registration under Section 4.1(a)(i) has become effective within the eighteen months prior to the date of the Demand Registration. The HOOPP Stockholder is entitled to effect an unlimited number of Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) for so long as the HOOPP Stockholder holds Equity Securities representing at least the HOOPP Ownership Threshold and the Founder Stockholder is entitled to effect unlimited Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(ii) until the Sunset (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation). Each Principal Stockholder may terminate a Demand Registration prior to the filing of a Registration Statement relating thereto, or require the Company to withdraw promptly any Registration Statement which has been filed pursuant to Section 4.1(a) but which has not become effective under the Securities Act, and such registration shall not be deemed to be a Demand Registration if such withdrawal is accompanied by notice from such Principal Stockholder that, in the good faith exercise of its reasonable judgment, (A) such withdrawal is warranted based on a change in the business or prospects of the Company or a change in the condition of the United States financial markets, or (B) there has occurred a misstatement or omission in any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus, prospectus, offering circular, or amendment or supplement thereto which makes it inadvisable to proceed with the registration.

4.2 Registration Expenses. Except as set forth in the following proviso, in connection with any registration of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company will pay all of the expenses relating to such registration with respect to the filing of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4.1(a); provided, however, that each Principal Stockholder participating in the sale of Registrable Securities will each pay its pro rata share of any underwriting discounts, commissions and fees attributable to the sale of its Registrable Securities and any out-of-pocket expenses of the Principal Stockholder (or the agents who manage its accounts) and the fees and disbursements of its counsel.

4.3 Underwriting Requirements and Cutbacks.

(a) With respect to a Demand Registration (i) pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) hereof, the HOOPP Stockholder shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such registration, subject to the approval of the Founder Stockholder, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned or (ii) pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(ii), the Founder Stockholder shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such registration.

(b) No Principal Stockholder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless the Principal Stockholder (i) agrees to sell the Principal Stockholder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements reasonably approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents that are customary for similarly situated Persons and are reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

(c) If a registration under Section 4.1 hereof is an Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered exceeds the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company will include in such registration only the number of Registrable Securities that in the Managing Underwriters’ opinion can be sold without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (allocated between the Principal Stockholders in accordance with Section 4.1(b) to the extent applicable).

(d) If a registration under Section 4.1(b) hereof includes an underwritten primary offering and the Managing Underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration only the number of Registrable Securities that in the Managing Underwriters’ opinion can be sold without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering in the following order of priority: (A) first, the Registrable Securities the Company proposes to sell as a primary offering, and (B) second, Registrable Securities owned by the Principal Stockholders that have requested the inclusion of any Registrable Securities in such registration pursuant to Section 4.1 (allocated between the Principal Stockholders in accordance with Section 4.1(b) to the extent applicable).

4.4 Furnish Information. The Principal Stockholders requesting registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 4.1 shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition by them of such Registrable Securities as is customarily provided by selling securityholders and as the Company or any underwriters in such registration shall reasonably request.

4.5 Delay of Registration. If, in the good faith judgment of internal or external counsel to the Company, any registration of Registrable Securities would require disclosure of information not otherwise then required by law to be publicly disclosed and, in the good faith judgment of the Company, such disclosure is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other material transaction involving the Company or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company (a “Valid Business Reason”), (x) the Company may postpone a filing or withdraw a filing of a Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event shall the Company avail itself of such right for more than five times or more than 120 days, in each case, in the aggregate in any period of 365 consecutive days and (y) in the case of withdrawal or postponement, if the Valid Business Reason no longer exists or if more than one 120 day period has passed since such withdrawal or postponement, the requesting Principal Stockholder may request a new Demand Registration (which request shall not be counted as an additional Demand Registration for purposes of Section 4.1(a)). The Company shall give notice to any Principal Stockholder when a Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists. No Principal Stockholder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Article IV.

4.6 Holdback Agreements. Each Principal Stockholder agrees that it will not, without prior written consent of the Managing Underwriter, effect any sale or distribution (including hedging transactions) of Registrable Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to SEC Rule 144, during such period as reasonably requested by the Managing Underwriter of the offering; provided, however, with respect to any particular registration, such period shall not extend beyond 90 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement relating thereto. Each Principal Stockholder agrees to enter into such form of agreement between it and the Managing Underwriter as the Managing Underwriter shall reasonably request to more fully set forth and to further effect the provisions of this Section 4.6.

(i) to the extent consented to by the Company and, if applicable, the Principal Stockholder(s) to whom such Confidential Information relates;

(ii) for bona fide business purposes on a strict “need to know” basis to its Affiliates, its board of directors (or equivalent governing body), its representatives and its lenders; provided, that in each such case, each such Person agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 6.10;

(iii) to a Person holding or considering acquiring (whether directly or indirectly) an equity or profits interest in, or equity or debt security of, or all, substantially all or any material portion of the assets of, or merging with, such Principal Stockholder (or any Affiliate thereof);

(iv) to the extent necessary to assert any right or defend any claim arising under this Agreement; and

(v) to the extent (x) such disclosure is required by Law (including pursuant to any listing agreement with, or the rules or regulations of, any national securities exchange or national quotation system on which any securities of such Principal Stockholder are listed or traded) or (y) legally compelled to do so under the terms of a subpoena, order, civil investigative demand or similar process issued by a Governmental Authority; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, such Principal Stockholder shall, to the extent legally permissible: (A) promptly notify the Company of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request; (B) consult with the Company regarding the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such disclosure; (C) furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that, in the opinion

of independent counsel for such Principal Stockholder, such Principal Stockholder is legally compelled to disclose; and (D) cooperate with the Company (or any other Person having an interest in the Confidential Information) to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

(c) Any Principal Stockholder providing Confidential Information to any other Person in accordance with Section 6.10(b) shall be liable to the Company and the other Principal Stockholders for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the other Principal Stockholders from and against, any and all losses sustained or incurred by the Company and such other Principal Stockholders arising out of or otherwise resulting from the disclosure of such Confidential Information to such other Person or the disclosure by such other Person of Confidential Information in violation of the applicable confidentiality agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Principal Stockholder agrees to be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Principal Stockholders from and against all losses arising out of or otherwise resulting from, any breach of this Section 6.10 by such Principal Stockholder’s representatives.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 6.10(b), no Principal Stockholder shall disclose or provide any Confidential Information to any Person if, to the actual knowledge of such Principal Stockholder, such disclosure or provision is prohibited by any agreement between the Company and any Person (including any Principal Stockholder or Affiliate thereof and other than this Agreement).

(e) The provisions of Section 6.10(a) shall not apply to, and Confidential Information shall not include:

(i) any information that is or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Company or a Principal Stockholder (or any Affiliate or representative thereof) in breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6.10;

(ii) any information that has been independently developed by a Principal Stockholder (or any Affiliate or representative thereof); provided, that it is developed entirely from sources other than Confidential Information and otherwise without violating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other similar agreement to which such Principal Stockholder (or any Affiliate or representative thereof) is bound; or

(iii) any information made available to a Principal Stockholder (or any Affiliate or representative thereof) on a non-confidential basis by any unaffiliated third-party who is not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to the Company, another Principal Stockholder (or any Affiliate or representative thereof) or any other Person.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of the Company and each Principal Stockholder under this Section 6.10 shall survive for five years after the termination of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 6.10 shall in no way restrict the officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to their use and disclosure of Confidential Information of the Company and its Subsidiaries in their authorized capacity as representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries required in connection with the conduct and operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
