REGISTRATION RIGHTS

SECTION 2.1. Piggyback Registrations.

(a) If the Company proposes to register Equity Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 and other than demand registrations pursuant to Section 2.2) involving the offering of such Equity Securities at any time after the Closing (if Issued Common Stock is issued at the Closing) or the Mandatory Conversion Event (if Issued Preferred Stock is issued at the Closing), as applicable, whether or not for its own account it will, at each such time, give prompt (and, in any event, at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the filing of a registration statement with respect thereto with the SEC) written notice (a “Piggyback Offering Notice”) to the Holders of its intention to do so, the form on which the Company expects to effect such registration (e.g., Form X-0, Xxxx X-0, Form S-3ASR), the anticipated filing date with the SEC of such registration statement, whether the offering is to be underwritten and, in the case of Form S-3 or Form S-3ASR, the anticipated date and time that the offering will be made. The Piggyback Offering Notice and the contents thereof shall be kept confidential by each of the Holders and their respective Affiliates and representatives (except as requested or required by Law or any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Holder, Affiliate or representative), and each such Holder shall be responsible for breaches of such confidentiality obligation by their respective Affiliates and representatives. The registration rights provided for in this Section 2.1 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, registrations made upon the demand of any Holder in accordance with Section 2.2.

(b) Form S-1. If the Company indicates in the Piggyback Offering Notice that it intends to effect a registration pursuant to Form S-1, upon the written request of any Holder (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Holder), made within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of any such Piggyback Offering Notice, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and the provision of the information specified in Section 2.5, effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.

(c) Form S-3; Form S-3ASR. If the Company indicates in the Piggyback Offering Notice that it intends to effect a registration pursuant to Form S-3 or Form S-3ASR, upon the written request of any Holder (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities

-8-

intended to be registered by such Holder), made within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of any such Piggyback Offering Notice, the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and the provision of the information specified in Section 2.5, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.

(d) Priority in Piggyback Registrations; Right to Withdraw. If a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 involves an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that it believes in good faith that the number of Equity Securities (including Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration) to be included in such registration as contemplated by the Company and the Holders would be likely to exceed the largest number of Equity Securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the success of such offering, including any impact on the selling price or the number of Equity Securities that can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), then the Company shall include in such registration (a) first, 100% of the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (b) second, to the extent of the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size, the amount of Registrable Securities which the Holders have requested to be included in such registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders and all other Persons entitled to registration rights, on the basis of the relative amount of Registrable Securities then held by each such Person (provided, that any such amount thereby allocated to any such Person that exceeds such Person’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Persons in a like manner to the extent practicable). Any Holder requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register all or any part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in connection with such registration; provided, however, such election must be made at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.1 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

SECTION 2.2. Demand Registration.

(a) General. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2(a), upon the written request (a “Demand Notice”) from one or more H&F Holders requesting the Company file a registration statement and effect the registration under the Securities Act of a number of Registrable Securities equal to or exceeding the Demand Threshold (as determined at the time of such Demand Notice) (the “Demand Party”), including pursuant to a shelf registration statement utilizing Rule 415 of the Securities Act (or its successor provision) (a “Shelf Registration”), thereupon the Company will promptly give written notice of such requested registration to each of the other Holders and promptly, but in no event later than 30 days after the date of the Demand Notice, file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act a registration statement to effect the registration under the Securities Act (provided that, to the extent the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing of a Shelf Registration, the Company shall make such Shelf Registration filing on Form S-3ASR), all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities (in accordance with the intended methods of distribution as contemplated in the Demand Notice)

-9-

that the Company has been so requested to register by the Demand Party under the Demand Notice and the Registrable Securities of Holders which the Company has been requested to register by written request to the Company by the Holders within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such written notice by the Company to the Holders.

(b) Shelf Take-Downs. Any of the Holders whose Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration may initiate an offering or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration (each, a “Shelf Take-Down”) and, except as set forth in this Section 2.2(b) with respect to Marketed Underwritten Offerings, such Holder shall not be required to permit the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by other Holders in connection with such Shelf Take-Down. If such initiating Holder is a Demand Party, a Shelf Take-Down shall be in the form of an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), and the Company shall, if so requested, file and effect an amendment or supplement of the Shelf Registration for such purpose as soon as reasonably practicable. With respect to any such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that is a Marketed Underwritten Offering, the Company shall provide notice to the other Holders of such registration in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(a) and the right to participate therein in accordance with this Section 2.2.

(c) Effective Registration Statement. The Company shall be deemed to have effected a demand registration if the registration statement pursuant to such registration is declared effective by the SEC and remains effective for the period required by Section 2.4(b). A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 will not be deemed to have been effected unless: (i) it has been declared effective by the SEC or has otherwise become effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) it has been filed with the SEC but abandoned or withdrawn at the request of the Demand Party prior to effectiveness, other than an abandonment or withdrawal requested because of: (A) the delivery of a postponement notice pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) or (B) a material adverse change in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations, taken as a whole, which became known to the Demand Party or the public after the delivery of a Demand Notice pursuant to this Section 2.2 (any of such clauses (A) through (B), “Good Reason”).

(d) Selection of Underwriters. The investment bankers, underwriters and managers for a registration or Shelf Take-Down shall be selected by the Demand Party; provided, however, that such selection of investment bankers, underwriters and managers shall be subject to the reasonable approval by the Company.

(e) Priority in Underwritten Offerings; Right to Abandon or Withdraw. If the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that it believes in good faith that the number of Equity Securities (including Registrable Securities) to be included therein as contemplated by the Holders and the Company would be likely to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, then the Company shall include therein (i) first, 100% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Demand Party and other Holders of Registrable Securities who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included therein (to the extent they are so entitled to request pursuant to this Section 2.2) up to the Maximum Offering Size (such Registrable Securities allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among the Demand Party and the other Holders of Registrable Securities so requested to be included therein on the basis of the relative amount of Registrable Securities

-10-

then held by each such Holder (provided that any such amount thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceeds such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holder in a like manner to the extent practicable)) and (ii) second, to the extent the managing underwriter believes additional securities can be sold in the offering without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size, the securities the Company proposes to sell up to the number of securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Party or that all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a registration by a Demand Party pursuant to this Section 2.2 cannot be sold in the manner requested, then, subject to Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.6, the Demand Party shall have the right to notify the Company that it has determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement.

SECTION 2.3. Exceptions to the Company’s Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1 to the contrary:

(i) if, at any time after giving a Piggyback Offering Notice, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith); and

(ii) in no event shall the Company have any obligation to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 after such time as the H&F Holders, in the aggregate, no longer beneficially own at least five percent (5.0%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.2 to the contrary:

(i) in no event shall the Company be required to effect (w) more than three (3) registrations pursuant to Section 2.2, (x) more than three (3) Marketed Underwritten Offerings (whether pursuant to Shelf Take-Downs or otherwise) pursuant to Section 2.2, (y) a Marketed Underwritten Offering of less than the Demand Threshold (as determined at the time of the Shelf Take-Down) or (z) a Shelf Take-Down (excluding a Marketed Underwritten Offering) of less than the Shelf Take-Down Threshold (as determined at the time of such Shelf Take-Down);

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the registration statement or Prospectus, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, all other Holders or any prospective underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, members, managers, general and limited partners and Controlling Persons (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all Claims and expenses arising out of or based on: any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Holder will reimburse each such Company Indemnified Party for any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Claim, in the case of the foregoing), to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission (or alleged omission) is

-17-

made in such registration statement, Prospectus, or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided that the aggregate liability of each selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder shall be limited to the gross proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions received by such selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. It is understood and agreed that the indemnification obligations of each Holder pursuant to any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be limited to the obligations contained in this Section 2.7.

(c) Notification of Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 2.7 (an “Indemnified Party”) hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2.7, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 2.7, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actively prejudiced in any material respect by such failure to give notice. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such action or proceeding (in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at its expense), jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and shall have no liability for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party will settle any action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement or judgment (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of an unconditional release to such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such action or proceeding, (ii) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such Indemnified Party and does not otherwise adversely affect such Indemnified Party, other than as a result of the imposition of financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder and (iii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party may not settle any action or proceeding or the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) Contribution. (i) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any

-18-

Claim or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 2.7(d) as a result of the Claim and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any action or proceeding; and (ii) the parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 2.7(d)(i); provided, however that in any case, no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the gross proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation. 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 guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Non-Exclusive Remedy. The obligations of the parties under this Section 2.7 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

(f) Survival. The indemnities provided in this Section 2.7 shall survive the Transfer of any Registrable Securities by such Holder.

SECTION 2.8. Cooperation of Holders. The Company shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder if such Holder has failed to timely furnish such information that, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, is reasonably required for such registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act, in each case reasonably promptly after a request in writing therefor by the Company.

SECTION 2.9. Market Standoff Agreement. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, each Holder who holds Registrable Securities and was offered the opportunity to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1 will agree upon the request of the managing underwriters with respect to such Underwritten Offering not to effect any public sale, transfer, short sale, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a public sale, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of any Equity Security of the Company during the 14 day period prior to, and for the period required by the managing underwriters, not to exceed 90 days (plus any Booster Period) after, the effective date of the registration statement for such Underwritten offering (or such lesser period as the managing underwriters may require or permit), except for such Equity Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering; provided that all of the Company’s executive officers and all of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are restricted in the same manner and for the same duration.

In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by any such registration may select one counsel to represent all Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration; provided, however, that in the event that the counsel selected as provided above is also acting as counsel to the Company in connection with such registration, a majority of the remaining Holders shall be entitled to select one additional counsel to represent all such remaining Holders.

SECTION 2.11. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities that are Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of this Agreement; (ii) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (iii) so long as the Holders own any Registrable Securities, furnish to the Holders forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and of the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as any Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such Common Stock without registration.

SECTION 2.12. No Inconsistent Agreements; No Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents, warrants and covenants that it is not a party to, and will not enter into, any Contract which conflicts with or limits or prohibits the exercise of the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Article II. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the H&F Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all of the H&F Holders, enter into any agreement with respect to its Securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders by this Agreement, including by allowing any holder or prospective holder of any Securities of the Company (a) to include any Securities in any registration filed under Section 2.1 and/or Section 2.2, hereof, unless, in each case, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such Securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such Securities will not diminish the amount of Registrable Securities that are included in such registration or (b) to require the Company to effect a registration pursuant to demand registration rights.

SECTION 2.13. Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of any Holder under this Article II shall terminate (other than Section 2.6, Section 2.7 and Section 2.13) at such time as such Holder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities.
