From and after the IPO Date, the Board shall consist of eight (8) Directors; provided, that the Board shall further increase the number of Independent Directors to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law and the Listing Exchange rules (including as contemplated by Section 2.1(d)(i)), or as otherwise agreed by the Board, subject to the rights of the Sponsor Investors under Section 2.5(i).

(b) Composition; Company Recommendation. Subject to Section 2.1(a), the Sponsor Investors shall have the right to nominate individuals for election to the Board (each, a “Sponsor Director”) as follows:

(iv) Modifications to Committees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board (upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee) shall, only to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or the Listing Exchange rules, modify the composition of any such committee to the extent required to comply with such applicable law or the Listing Exchange rules; provided, that if the Board shall establish a committee to consider a proposed transaction between any Sponsor Investor (or any

of its Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, then the Directors nominated by such Sponsor Investor whose (or whose Affiliate’s) transaction is being considered by such committee shall be excluded from participation in such committee. If any vacant Director position on any committee of the Board results from the Sponsor Investors no longer being entitled to nominate at least one (1) Director, then such vacant position shall be filled by the Board upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, in accordance with Section 2.1(f).

(e) Removal. Directors shall serve until their resignation or removal or until their successors are nominated. For the avoidance of doubt, if the number of Directors that the Sponsor Investors are entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 2.1(b) is reduced by one (1) or more Directors, then no such Director need resign from the Board prior to the end of his or her term.

(f) Vacancies. If any Director previously nominated by the Sponsor Investors dies or is unwilling or unable to serve as such or is otherwise removed or resigns from office, then the Sponsor Investors shall promptly nominate a successor to such Director, in accordance with this Section 2.1; but if the Sponsor Investors are no longer entitled to fill such vacant Director position(s), such vacant Director position(s) shall be filled by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. If, subject to the rights of the Sponsor Investors under Section 2.5(i), the Board votes to increase the size of the Board (including as contemplated by Section 2.1(d)(i)), the vacant Director position(s) created as a result of such newly created directorship(s) shall be filled by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. Any other vacant Director position(s) shall be filled by the Board, or the Board shall nominate a replacement Director, in each case, upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, in accordance with the Articles.

(g) Other Board Governance Provisions. From and after the date hereof:

(ii) Insurance.

In the event that more than one (1) Silver Lake Partners Investor proposes to execute a Tag-Along Sale, then all such transferring Silver Lake Partners Investors shall be treated as the Selling Sponsor Investor, and the Transferable Shares held and to be transferred by such Silver Lake Partners Investors shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 7.15, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Tag-Along Sale Percentage. In the event that more than one (1) Silver Lake Sumeru Investor proposes to execute a Tag-Along Sale, then all such transferring Silver Lake Sumeru Investors shall be treated as the Selling Sponsor Investor, and the Transferable Shares held and to be transferred by such Silver Lake Sumeru Investors shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 7.15, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Tag-Along Sale Percentage (in all cases subject to Section 3.5).

All costs and expenses incurred by the Company and the Tag-Along Sellers in connection with such Tag-Along Sale shall be borne on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Transferable Shares being sold by each of the Tag-Along Sellers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Selling Sponsor Investor has not completed the proposed Tag-Along Sale within ninety (90) days following delivery of the Transfer Notice in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Selling Sponsor Investor may not then effect such proposed Tag-Along Sale without again complying with the provisions of this Section 3.4; provided, that such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for up to one-hundred and eighty (180) days to the extent necessary to comply with any regulatory requirements applicable to such proposed Tag-Along Sale.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.4(b) to the contrary, each Tagging Sponsor shall take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as the Selling Sponsor Investor deems to be necessary or desirable in order to consummate expeditiously such Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.4, including (i) executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments, (ii) filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities and (iii) otherwise cooperating with the Selling Sponsor Investor and the Proposed Transferee.

(d) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Transfer Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Tag-Along Sale and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms and conditions of any such Tag-Along Sale shall be at the sole discretion of the Selling Sponsor Investor, and the Selling Sponsor Investor and its Affiliates shall have no liability to any Eligible Tag Sponsor arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Tag-Along Sale except to the extent such Selling Sponsor Investor failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.4.

(e) This Section 3.4 shall not apply to (i) any transfer in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration or Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, it being understood that participation rights in connection with transfers of Transferable Shares in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration or Marketed Underwritten Shelf-Take Down shall be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) any transfer of Transferable Shares in a Market Trade, it being understood that participation rights in connection with transfers of Transferable Shares in a Market Trade shall be governed by the terms of Section 3.3(b)(iii) hereof or (iii) any transfers to a Permitted Transferee.

(f) This Section 3.4 shall terminate at the end of the Second Post-IPO Transfer Restriction Period.

Section 3.5. Shah Co-Investor Transfers. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, other than with respect to transfers of Transfer Shares pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i), (x) the Shah Co-Investors shall be required to participate in transfers to third parties alongside the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors on a pro-rata basis and be treated as one holder with the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors for such purposes in a manner that would not increase the number of shares to be transferred and (y) the Shah Co-Investors shall not otherwise be permitted to transfer Transferable Shares. Accordingly, to the extent that any of the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors transfer any Transferable Shares during the Post-IPO Transfer Restriction Period pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii) Section 3.3(b)(iii), Section 3.3(b)(iv), Section 3.3(c)(ii), Section 3.3(c)(iii) or Section 3.3(c)(iv), (a) the Transferable Shares held by the Shah Co-Investors shall be aggregated together with the Transferable Shares held by such transferring Silver Lake Sumeru Investors for the purpose of determining the number of shares deemed to be owned by the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors, the availability of any rights under and the application of any limitations of such transfer by the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors (including the total number of shares that may be collectively transferred by the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors), (b) each Shah Co-Investor shall be required to transfer, on the same terms and conditions as the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors in any such transaction, a number of Transferable Shares held by such Shah Co-Investor equal to the product of the total number of Transferable Shares held by such Shah Co-Investor multiplied by the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of Transferable Shares proposed to be transferred by the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors in such transaction by the total number of Transferable Shares held by the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors (the “Shah Pro-Rata Share”), (c) following such allocation, the number of Transferable Shares proposed to be transferred by the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors shall be correspondingly reduced by the Shah Pro-Rata Share and (d) each Shah Co-Investor shall take any and all actions as required by, or otherwise taken by, the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors in any such transfer pursuant to the foregoing provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any of the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors are transferring any Transferable Shares pursuant to such Silver Lake Sumeru Investor’s rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Shah Co-Investors shall be required to participate in such transfer alongside the Silver Lake Sumeru Investors on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and shall exercise such rights as a “Holder” thereunder in any transfer in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration or Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down in a manner consistent with the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the Shah Co-Investors may allocate the Transferable Shares held by the Shah Co-Investors to be included in any such transfer in accordance with the foregoing amongst the various Shah Co-Investors in their sole discretion so long as the Shah Pro-Rata Share is satisfied. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time from Xxxx X. Xxxx ceases to be a Managing Member of SLTA Sumeru (GP), L.L.C. (the “Triggering Event”), the (i) the provisions of this Article III shall cease to apply to the Shah Co-Investors and (ii) by virtue of this Agreement, each of the Shah Co-Investors shall automatically (x) bound by and comply with the provisions of Article III of the Investors Shareholders Agreement as a “Management Investor” in all respects as if such Shah Co-Investor executed the Investors Shareholders Agreement directly as a “Management Investor and (y) constitute a “Key Management Investor” for purposes of Section 3.4 of the Investors Shareholders Agreement, and be bound and comply with the provisions of Section 3.4 of the Investors Shareholders Agreement as if such Shah Co-Investor was listed on Exhibit C to the Investors Shareholders Agreement as a “Key Management Investor”; provided, that for purposes of Section 3.4 of the Investors Shareholders Agreement, it is the parties intention that (I) the Applicable Transfer Cap (as defined therein), and the respective First, Second and Third Period Caps therein (each as defined therein) shall only account for the periods from and after the Triggering Event, and (II) to the extent that the Triggering Event occurs during the Second Period or Third Period (each as defined therein), the proviso in the definition of the Second Period Cap or Third Period Cap (as applicable) shall be modified so that the 20% allotted to such period shall be pro-rata reduced to effect for the number of days that have already expired during such period through the Triggering Event.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1. Indemnification of Investors.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and any other exempted companies, corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, employee benefit plans or other enterprises controlled by the Company (collectively, the “Controlled Entities”) to, indemnify, exonerate and hold the Investors and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, Controlling Persons, employees and agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, Controlling Persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of any action, cause of action, suit, arbitration or claim arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way relating to, (i) such Investor’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of Securities or such Investor’s or its Affiliates’ control or ability to influence the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such Indemnified Liabilities (x) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of any willful breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or other related Persons or (y) without limiting any other rights to indemnification, to the extent such control or the ability to control the Company or any of its Subsidiaries derives from such Investor’s or its Affiliates’ capacity as an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or (ii) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however that if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company will, and will cause its Controlled Entities to, make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For the purposes of this Section 6.1, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Company or any of its Controlled Entities, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Company and its Controlled Entities, as applicable. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Controlled Entities to, be fully and primarily responsible (i.e., as the indemnitor of first resort) for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities in connection with any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) applicable law, (ii) the Articles, (iii) the Director Indemnification Agreements, (iv) this Agreement, (v) any other agreement between the Company or any Controlled Entity and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Indemnitee is indemnified, (vi) the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Controlled Entity and/or (vii) the Organizational Documents of any Controlled Entity ((i) through (vii) collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from any Indemnitee-Related Parties. Under no circumstance shall the Company or any Controlled Entity be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Parties and no right of advancement or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Parties shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the Company or any Controlled Entity under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Parties shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (x) the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Controlled Entities to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Party making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Party, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by the Company and/or any Controlled Entity pursuant to clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Party making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company and/or any Controlled Entity, as applicable, and (z) Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Parties effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. For purposes of this Section 6.1(b):

(i) The term “Indemnitee-Related Party” means any Person (other than the Company, any Controlled Entity or the insurer under and pursuant to an insurance policy of the Company or any Controlled Entity) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Company or any Controlled Entity may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.

(ii) The term “Jointly Indemnifiable Claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any Indemnified Liabilities for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification from both (1) the Company and/or any Controlled Entity pursuant to the Indemnification Sources, on the one hand, and (2) any Indemnitee-Related Party pursuant to any other agreement between any Indemnitee-Related Party and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Indemnitee is indemnified, the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Indemnitee-Related Party and/or the Organizational Documents of any Indemnitee-Related Party, on the other hand.

(c) The Company and Investors agree that each of the Indemnitees and Indemnitee-Related Parties shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 6.1, entitled to enforce this Section 6.1 as though each such Indemnitees and Indemnitee-Related Party were a party to this Agreement. The Company shall cause each of the Controlled Entities to perform the terms and obligations of this Section 6.1 as though each such Controlled Entity was a party to this Agreement.
