WHEREAS, Article V, Section 5.01 of the Investment Agreement provides that the Company will use reasonable efforts to prepare and file and use reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective or otherwise become effective pursuant to the Securities Act for the registration of resales of the Notes, Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares no later than the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (such date, the "Initial Target Registration Date").
WHEREAS, Article VI, Section 6.03 of the Investment Agreement provides that any provision of the Investment Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part at any time by an agreement in writing between the Company and Silver Lake (together, the "Requisite Parties") executed in the same manner as the Investment Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Requisite Parties hereto agree as follows:
1.AMENDMENT OF INVESTMENT AGREEMENT. Article V, Section 5.0l(a) of the Investment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
"(a) The Company will use reasonable efforts to prepare and file and use reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective or otherwise become effective pursuant to the Securities Act (x) for the registration of resales of the Notes, Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares no later than the earlier of (a) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date and (b) following September 24, 2023, such date that is thirty (30) days following a written request of holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of Notes that are Registrable Securities, and (y) for all other registration requests, as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than three
(3) months, following a written request of holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of Notes that are Registrable Securities (such outside date in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, the "Target Registration Date"), a Registration Statement (the "Initial Registration Statement") in order to provide for resales of Registrable Securities to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which Registration Statement will (except to the extent the SEC objects in written comments upon the SEC's review of such Registration Statement) include the Plan of Distribution. In addition, the Company will from time to time after the Initial Registration Statement has been declared effective use reasonable efforts to file such additional Registration Statements to cover resales of any Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Silver Lake Group that are not registered for resale pursuant to a pre-existing Registration Statement and will use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective or otherwise to become effective under the Securities Act and, subject to Section 5.02, will use its reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the Registration Termination Date. Any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Article V shall cover only Registrable Securities, shall be on Form S-3 (or a successor form) if the Company is eligible to use such form and shall be an automatically effective Registration Statement if the Company is a WKSI (in which case, the Registration Statement may request registration of an unspecified amount of Registrable Securities to be sold by unspecified holders)."
