Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9 and 10 of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company, the Oaktree Equityholders and the Indigo Equityholders agree that, effective upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Investor Rights Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended to provide that:
(a) Solely to the extent that the Overallotment Option is exercised by the underwriters, (i) Holdings II shall have the right to first sell a number of shares of Common Stock in the Overallotment Option such that Holdings II receives, in the aggregate, an amount equal to $20,000,000 in gross proceeds (before deduction of underwriters commissions); (ii) to the extent there are any additional shares that may be sold in the Overallotment Option after the sale described in clause (i) of this Section 2.8(a), the Indigo Equityholders shall next have the right to sell a number of shares of Common Stock in the Overallotment Option such that the Indigo Equityholders receive, in the aggregate, an amount equal to $5,000,000 in gross proceeds (before deduction of underwriters commissions); and (iii) to the extent there are any additional shares that may be sold in the Overallotment Option after the sales described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.8(a), the Oaktree Equityholders and the Indigo Equityholders shall have the right to sell shares of Common Stock owned by such Oaktree Equityholders and Indigo Equityholders on a Pro Rata Basis. For the purposes of this Section 2.8 only, a “Pro Rata
– 11 –
Basis” shall mean with respect to any Oaktree Equityholder or Indigo Equityholder the quotient of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Oaktree Equityholder or Indigo Equityholder following the recapitalization described in this Agreement and immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering, divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by all Oaktree Equityholders and Indigo Equityholders following the recapitalization described in this Agreement and immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9D and 10C of the Investor Rights Agreement, to the extent that Holdings II does not receive at least $20,000,000 in gross proceeds (before deduction of underwriters commissions) from the sale of Common Stock in the Overallotment Option and/or the Indigo Equityholders do not receive at least $5,000,000 in gross proceeds (before deduction of underwriters commissions) from the sale of Common Stock in the Overallotment Option, then, following the expiration of the lock-up period set forth in a lock-up agreement signed by such Equityholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, whenever the Company proposes to register securities under the Securities Act (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) (other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-3 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms), the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the securities that the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, Common Stock that Holdings II (or such other Oaktree Equityholders as shall be designated in writing by POF II and POF III) proposes to sell until such sellers have received gross proceeds (before deduction of underwriters commissions) equal to the difference between $20,000,000 and the gross proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock by Holdings II (or such other Oaktree Equityholders as shall be designated in writing by POF II and POF III) in the Overallotment Option and any other sales of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.8(b), (iii) third, Common Stock that the Indigo Equityholders propose to sell until the Indigo Equityholders have received gross proceeds (before deduction of underwriters commissions) equal to the difference between $5,000,000 and the gross proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Indigo Equityholders in the Overallotment Option and any other sales of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.8(b), (iv) fourth, following the sales of Common Stock described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement as in effect on the date hereof.
(c) All determinations made pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be rounded down to the nearest full share.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of all calculation of shares owned by a party hereunder, the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Indigo shall be deemed to include all shares of Common Stock plus any shares of non-voting common stock.
Section 2.9 Termination of Security Agreement. Following the payments, redemptions and exchanges set forth in this Section 2, (i) the Company and the Equityholders shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to terminate the Security Agreement and any related financing statements made under the UCC, and (ii) each Equityholder terminates, releases and discharges, without recourse, all of the Liens on any assets of the Company created by the Notes.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
The Individual Equityholders will not, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Equityholders, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Individual Equityholders or any affiliate of the Individual Equityholders or any person in privity with the Individual Equityholders), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 120 days after the date of the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into in connection with the Initial Public Offering (as the same may be extended pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, the “Lock-up Period”); provided that the Requisite Equityholders have entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement on similar terms for a period that is not less than 30 days longer than the Lock-up Period and includes provisions for extension similar to those provided in the next succeeding paragraph. The Requisite Equityholders shall not release the Individual Equityholders before the end of the Lock-up Period unless such Requisite Equityholders have been released from the lock-up agreement signed by such Requisite Equityholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, but, in the event that the Requisite Equityholders have been so released, they shall release the Individual Equityholders to the same extent.
If (i) the Company issues an earnings release or material news, or a material event relating to the Company occurs, during the last 17 days of the Lock-up Period, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-up Period, the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, unless the Requisite Equityholders waive, in writing, such extension; provided that the Requisite Equityholders shall waive such extension if the extension is waived under the lock-up agreement signed by the Requisite Equityholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. In no event, however, shall such extension continue beyond the date that is 34 days from the last day of the Lock-up Period. The Individual Equityholders hereby acknowledge that the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to provide written notice of any event that would result in an extension of the Lock-up Period and agrees that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have given to, and received by, the Individual Equityholders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Individual Equityholders may transfer shares of Common Stock (or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for Common Stock) (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of such Individual Equityholder or the immediate family of such Individual Equityholder, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) to any third party granted an interest in such Individual Equityholder’s will or under the laws of descent, provided that such grantee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (iv) in transactions relating to shares of Common Stock acquired by such Individual Equityholder in open market transactions after the completion of the Initial Public Offering, provided that no filings by any party under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transaction, (v) if such Individual Equityholder is a corporation, business trust, association, limited liability company, partnership, limited liability partnership or other entity (individually, an “Entity”), to any equityholder of such Entity or any other Entity which is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is under common control with, the such Individual Equityholder, provided, to the extent such transfer is consummated prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, it that it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such securities subject to the provisions of this lock-up agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such securities except in accordance with this lock-up agreement, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (vi) dispositions to the Company, during the Lock-up Period, by such Individual Equityholder of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of raising proceeds to cover the reasonably estimated U.S. federal or state tax liability incurred by such Individual Equityholder as a result of the vesting, during the Lock-up Period, of restricted shares of Common Stock heretofore granted to such Individual Equityholder, provided each such disposition shall occur on or about the time of such vesting and shall be of an amount of shares of Common Stock that raises gross proceeds that, as nearly as reasonably practicable, approximate such tax liability. In addition, each of the Individual Equityholders shall, during the Lock-up Period, be entitled to establish a 10b5-1 plan for the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plan, provided that no sale of shares of Common Stock under such plan shall be allowed until after the expiration of the Lock-up Period.
For purposes of this Lock-up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
If the Company notifies the Individual Equityholders in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Initial Public Offering or for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), this Lock-up Agreement shall likewise be terminated.
