4. Rights of Founders; Financing.

(a) Rights of Founders. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that unless and until the Closing is consummated, the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall in no way impact or impair any existing rights of the Founders as Members, SC Principals, employees

- 2 -

or otherwise, including, without limitation, the rights arising under Section 8.07 of the LLC Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, then none of the Founders’ rights as Members, SC Principals, employees or otherwise, including, without limitation, the rights arising under Section 8.07 of the LLC Agreement, shall be impacted or impaired in any way and the A&R Employment Agreements (as defined below) shall terminate in accordance with their terms (with the Current Employment Agreements thereupon remaining in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms).

(b) Financing. The Company may take such preparatory actions as may be required in connection with obtaining debt or equity financing of the Redemption Price and such other funding and working capital needs as the Board of Managers shall determine are required (the “Financing”); provided, however, that such Financing shall not close other than simultaneously with the Closing. The Parties agree that any of Equinox or its or its Affiliates’ employees and members and the Founders and their Affiliates may participate as purchasers on market terms in the debt portion of the Financing. The Parties further agree that Equinox may make capital contributions to the Company in exchange for Class B Units of the Company (which will be converted into Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of SoulCycle Inc. (“Class B Common Stock”) in the Conversion) at no less than a $710,000,000 pre-money valuation to provide a portion of the Financing. Subject to the Company’s compliance with this Section 4(b) and notwithstanding anything in the LLC agreement to the contrary provided that the proviso at the end of this sentence is complied with, the Financing and all actions taken by the Company in connection therewith may be approved by a simple majority vote of the Board of Managers, provided that such Financing shall not close, and any actions so taken shall not be effective, other than simultaneously with the Closing. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined in this Section 4(b) and Section 4(c) have the meanings given to such terms in the LLC Agreement.

(c) At any meeting of the Board of Managers at which action on any of the matters referred to in Section 4(b) hereof is to be taken, a majority of the Managers constituting the Board of Managers shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business on any matter referred to in Section 4(b) hereof, provided that a majority of the Managers present are Equinox Designees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the actions so taken shall become effective until immediately prior to, or simultaneous with the Closing, and the consummation of the Closing shall be a condition subsequent to all such actions, such that if the Closing does not immediately occur after the effectiveness of such actions, then such actions shall be null and void ab initio.

(d) The Parties hereto agree that, to the extent that either Section 4(b) or Section 4(c) hereof is inconsistent with Sections 7.03(a)(ii), (v), (vi), (viii), (x) or (xi) of the LLC Agreement, the compliance with such provisions of LLC Agreement, solely to the extent of any such inconsistency with Section 4(b) and Section 4(c), is hereby waived for the limited purpose of effectuating the Closing.

The redemption or purchase shall be deemed to have been completed, and the Corporation shall be entitled to take any action set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof without the prior written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, when, subject to the Corporation’s compliance with this Section 2.3, the Corporation or its designee tenders in full to the holders of the Class A Common Stock payment as described above, an amount equal to the product of (x) the Repurchase Price multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding. From and after the consummation of the redemption or repurchase effected in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.3, all rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock as such hereunder and under the DGCL shall cease and be of no further force or effect.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) shall consist of twelve (12) members or such other number as the Board shall determine from time to time by written notice delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof; provided that the Board may grant the right to designate one or more members of the Board to any third parties, including any investors in the capital stock of the Corporation.

3.2

The holders of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors (the “Class A Common Directors”) so long as each of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx (“Xxxxxx”) and Xxxxx Xxxx (“Rice”) (each of Xxxxxx and Xxxx, a “Founder” and together, the “Founders”) is a Qualifying Founder, and in such event each Founder shall be entitled to designate one of the Class A Common Directors.

If both Founders cease to be Qualifying Founders, then the holders of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be entitled to elect any directors.

3.4

If the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting separately as a class, pursuant to this Section 3, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by Stockholders other than by the Stockholders that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting separately as a class. Any director who shall have been elected by the holders of a class of stock may be removed during the aforesaid term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative majority vote of the holders of the shares of the class of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such Stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of Stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the holders of that class of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to a written consent.

any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3.3 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4; and

3.5.3

upon the request of any Person entitled to designate a director as provided in Section 3.5.1 to remove such director, such director shall be removed.

- 8 -

3.6

All Stockholders agree to execute any written consents required to perform the obligations of this Section 3, and the Corporation agrees at the request of any Person entitled to designate directors to call a special meeting of Stockholders entitled to elect the subject director for the purpose of electing directors. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director.

3.7

Each director shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote. The vote of a majority of the directors cast at any meeting at which there is a quorum present shall be the act of the Board. A majority of the directors present may adjourn any meeting of the Board to another date, time or place, whether or not a quorum is present. If a meeting is adjourned pursuant to this Section 3.7 due to the absence of a quorum, such adjournment shall be for at least 24 hours. No notice need be given of any adjourned meeting, except (1) 24 hours’ notice shall be given to each of the members of the Board not present at the adjourned meeting, and (2) if the date, time or place of the adjourned meeting are not announced at the time of adjournment, the notice referred to in clause (1) above shall be given to each member of the Board, whether or not present at the adjourned meeting. The Board may appoint the Chairman of the Board and the officers of the Corporation, each of whom will serve at the pleasure of the Board, subject to any applicable written employment or other written agreement between the Corporation and such officer.

Preemptive Right. Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 4.1.5, the Corporation shall not offer, issue or sell to any Person any New Securities (collectively, the “New Issue Securities”) unless, subject to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, as applicable, the Corporation shall have first offered to sell to each of the Stockholders (collectively, the “Preemptive Right Stockholders”) up to such Preemptive Right Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined herein) of such New Issue Securities, in accordance with and subject to this Section 4.1, which offer shall be specified in a writing by

- 9 -

the Corporation delivered to the Preemptive Right Stockholders (the “Preemptive Right Notice”) and by its terms, shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of forty (40) days after the Preemptive Right Notice is delivered to the Preemptive Right Stockholders (the “Preemptive Right Acceptance Period”). The Preemptive Right Notice with respect to any offering of New Issue Securities by the Corporation shall set forth all of the terms and conditions of such offering, including, without limitation, (i) the Corporation’s bona fide intention to offer such New Issue Securities, (ii) the class or classes of such New Issue Securities offered and the number of shares of each such class offered, (iii) the proposed price for the New Issue Securities and other terms of such offering, (iv) such Preemptive Right Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Issue Securities, (v) a copy of the proposed definitive agreement (if available), and (vi) the proposed date of the closing of the issuance and sale of such New Issue Securities. Following the delivery of the Preemptive Right Notice, the Corporation shall provide such additional information as each Preemptive Right Stockholder may reasonably request in order to evaluate the proposed offer and sale of the New Issue Securities, promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, following such Preemptive Right Stockholder’s written request therefor. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to each Stockholder, as of the date of determination, an amount, expressed as a percentage, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, owned of record by such Stockholder as of such date (treating both classes of Common Stock as one class for this purpose), by the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such date (treating both classes of Common Stock as one class for this purpose); provided, however, that solely for purposes of determining the “Pro Rata Share” of each of the Founders pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2, (i) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned of record by Xxxxxx shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of Class B Common Stock owned of record by each of Xxxxxx, the Irrevocable Trust FBO Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx u/t/d March 20, 2011 and the Irrevocable Trust FBO Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx u/t/d March 20, 2011 and their respective Permitted Transferees and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned of record by Rice shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of Class B Common Stock owned of record by each of Rice, the Trust F/B/X Xxxxxx X.

Acceptance Notice. At any time during the Preemptive Right Acceptance Period with respect to any Preemptive Right Notice, each Preemptive Right Stockholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept the Corporation’s offer with respect to the New Issue Securities set forth in the Preemptive Right Notice and to purchase all or a portion of such Preemptive Right Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Issue Securities, subject to the oversubscription rights set forth in Section 4.1.3, by giving written notice to the Corporation of such acceptance (an “Acceptance Notice”), which Acceptance Notice shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of such offer unless such Preemptive Right Stockholder revokes such offer in writing prior to the expiration of the Preemptive Right Acceptance Period. If an Acceptance Notice with respect to all of a Preemptive Right Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the New Issue Securities is not delivered to the Corporation by such Preemptive Right Stockholder within the Preemptive Right Acceptance Period, such Preemptive Right Stockholder shall be deemed to have waived such Preemptive Right Stockholder’s opportunity to purchase the New Issue Securities with respect to which the Acceptance Notice was not delivered and, subject to Section 4.1.3, the Corporation shall be free to issue and sell such New Issue Securities to any Person on the terms and conditions set forth in the Preemptive Right Notice; provided, however, that any such New Issue Securities not sold within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Preemptive Right Acceptance Period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of this Section 4.1.

4.1.3

Oversubscription Rights.

(a)

In any offering of New Issue Securities, each of the Preemptive Right Stockholders who has accepted the offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Preemptive Right Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Issue Securities pursuant to Section 4.1.2 (each, a “Preemptive Right Participating Stockholder”) shall have a right of oversubscription, such that if any of the other Preemptive Right Stockholders declines to purchase all of such Preemptive Right Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the New Issue Securities, each Preemptive Right Participating Stockholder shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the balance of the New Issue Securities not purchased pursuant to Section 4.1.2. Such right of oversubscription may be exercised by the Preemptive Right Participating Stockholders by irrevocably accepting the offer of the New Issue Securities pursuant to Section 4.1.2 as to more than the Preemptive Right Participating Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share. The Corporation shall allocate to each such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participating Stockholder its Pro Rata Share (excluding for the purposes of such calculation all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by the Preemptive Right Stockholders other than such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participating Stockholders), of the balance of New Issue Securities

- 11 -

not purchased by the Preemptive Right Stockholders pursuant to Section 4.1.2, up to the total amount of New Issue Securities set forth in such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participating Stockholder’s Acceptance Notice; and thereafter, any remaining unallocated amounts of New Issue Securities shall be allocated among the oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participating Stockholders (up to the total amount of New Issue Securities set forth in such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participating Stockholder’s Notice of Acceptance) as determined by the Board.

(b)

Following the expiration of the Preemptive Right Acceptance Period with respect to an offering of New Issue Securities, if the Preemptive Right Stockholders have elected to purchase all or a portion of the New Issue Securities pursuant to Section 4.1.2 (after giving effect to the exercise of any oversubscription rights pursuant to Section 4.1.3(a)), the Corporation shall sell to each of the Preemptive Right Stockholders who has elected to purchase such New Issue Securities, such New Issue Securities which such Preemptive Right Stockholder has elected to purchase and shall be entitled to sell the New Issue Securities not purchased by the Preemptive Right Stockholders to a third party, in each case upon the terms and conditions specified in the Preemptive Right Notice.

4.1.4

Closing. The closing of the purchase of the New Issue Securities set forth in a Preemptive Right Notice shall occur on a date specified by the Corporation after the expiration of the Preemptive Right Acceptance Period. Upon the closing of any such purchase of New Issue Securities, which shall include full payment to the Corporation of the purchase price therefor, each Preemptive Right Stockholder who has delivered an Acceptance Notice to the Corporation shall purchase from the Corporation, and the Corporation shall sell to each such Preemptive Right Stockholder, the number of New Issue Securities specified in such Preemptive Right Stockholder’s Acceptance Notice (after giving effect to the provisions of Section 4.1.3(a)), upon the terms and conditions specified in the Preemptive Right Notice.

4.1.5

Exceptions. The rights of the Preemptive Right Stockholders under this Section 4.1 shall not apply to any of the following:

(a)

shares of Common Stock (and/or options, warrants or other purchase rights to purchase Common Stock) issued or granted by the Corporation to the Founders or in connection with employee equity incentive programs approved by the Board;

(b)

shares of Common Stock issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a bona fide business acquisition by the Corporation, or a merger, consolidation, strategic alliance, acquisition or similar business combination, so long as such transaction was approved by the Board and approved pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, as applicable;

(e)

any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any IPO.

4.1.6

Override Provision. In the event that the Board shall in good faith determine that the Corporation needs to close the sale of New Issue Securities more quickly than would be possible if the Corporation were required to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, the Corporation may sell New Issue Securities without compliance with the requirements of Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 hereof, provided, that, no later than five (5) calendar days following the initial closing of the sale of such New Issue Securities (the “Securities Closing”), the Corporation shall offer to each of the Stockholders the right to purchase up to such Founder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such New Issues Securities (after giving effect to any New Issues Securities issued or sold by the Corporation at the Securities Closing) plus any oversubscription rights, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 hereof and on the same terms and conditions as the New Issues Securities issued and sold at the Securities Closing.

4.2

Rights to Debt Issuances.

4.2.1

Loan Participation Right. Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary shall obtain a loan (each, a “Proposed Loan”) from any Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Stockholder (other than a Founder or any Permitted Transferee thereof) (each, a “Proposed Lender”), unless, subject to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, as applicable, the Corporation shall have first offered to each Founder the opportunity to participate in such Proposed Loan as a lender for an amount equal up to such Founder’s Pro Rata Share

- 13 -

of the amount of such Proposed Loan, in accordance with and subject to this Section 4.2, which offer shall be specified in a writing by the Corporation delivered to the Founders (the “Loan Participation Notice”) and by its terms, shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of thirty (30) days after the Loan Participation Notice is delivered to the Founders (the “Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period”).

The Corporation shall provide such additional information as each Founder may reasonably request in order to evaluate the Proposed Loan, promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, following such Founder’s written request therefor.

4.2.2

Acceptance Period. At any time during the Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period with respect to any Loan Participation Notice, each Founder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept the Corporation’s offer for such Founder to make a loan to the Corporation in an amount equal up to such Founder’s Pro Rata Share of the Proposed Loan, by giving written notice (a “Loan Acceptance Notice”) to the Corporation of such acceptance, including such portion of such Founder’s Pro Rata Share of the Proposed Loan such Founder desires to loan to the Corporation (the “Founder Share”), which Loan Acceptance Notice, subject to this Section 4.2.2, shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of such offer unless such Founder revokes such offer in writing prior to the expiration of the Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period. Following delivery of the Loan Acceptance Notice by a Founder, such Founder shall be obligated to make the Founder Share of the Proposed Loan indicated in such Loan Participation Notice at the closing of the Proposed Loan in accordance with Section 4.2.3; provided, that, if the loan is not consummated within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Loan Acceptance Period, then such Founder, by written notice to the Corporation may, in such Founder’s sole discretion, terminate such Founder’s obligation to loan the Corporation its Founder Share of the Proposed Loan specified in such in the Loan Acceptance Notice without any liability to such Founder. If a Loan Acceptance Notice with respect to all of a Founder’s Pro Rata Share of the Proposed Loan is not delivered to the Corporation by such Founder within the Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period, such Founder shall be deemed to have waived such Founder’s opportunity to make such portion of the Proposed Loan with respect to which the Loan Acceptance Notice was not delivered and the

- 14 -

Corporation shall be free to obtain such portion of the Proposed Loan from the Proposed Lender(s) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Participation Notice; provided, however, that any such portion of the Proposed Loan not made within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of this Section 4.2.

4.2.4

Override Provision. In the event that the Board shall in good faith determine that the Corporation needs to close a Proposed Loan more quickly than would be possible if the Corporation were required to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and 4.2.3, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2, the Corporation may obtain a Proposed Loan without compliance with the requirements of Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 hereof, provided, that, no later than five (5) calendar days following the initial closing of such Proposed Loan (a “Closed Stockholder Loan”), the Corporation shall offer to each of the Stockholders the right to participate for up to such Founder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the Closed Stockholder Loan (after giving effect to the outstanding amount of the Closed Stockholder Loan) in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 hereof and on the same terms and conditions as the Closed Stockholder Loan.

6.	TAG-ALONG AND DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS

6.1

Tag-Along Rights.

6.1.1

In the event of a proposed Transfer by Equinox or any Affiliate (and, for the avoidance of doubt, by its direct and indirect shareholders) thereof (a “Transferor”) of Common Stock representing in the aggregate 15% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (treating all classes of Common Stock as one class for this purpose) held by them on the filing date hereof (a “Tag-Along Transfer”) to a single Transferee or a group of Transferees, in any transaction or series of related transactions, each holder of Common Stock other than the Transferor or any Affiliate (and, for the avoidance of doubt, its direct and indirect shareholders) thereof (each, a “Tag-Along Participant”) shall have the right to participate on the same terms and conditions, including price per share, as each Transferor in the manner set forth in this Section 6.1. Prior to any Tag-Along Transfer, each Transferor shall deliver to the Corporation prompt written notice (the “Transfer Notice”), which the Corporation will forward to each Tag-Along Participant within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof, which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed Transferee, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred to the Transferee(s) (the “Transferred Securities”), (iii) the price per share, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the determination of the fair market value

- 16 -

thereof and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Tag-Along Transfer, including the proposed Tag-Along Transfer date (which date may not be less than thirty (35) Business Days after delivery to the Tag-Along Participants of the Transfer Notice). Such notice shall be accompanied by a written offer from the proposed Transferee to purchase the Transferred Securities, which offer may be conditioned upon the consummation of the sale by each Transferor, or the most recent drafts of the purchase and sale documentation between each Transferor and the Transferee, which shall make provision for the participation of the Tag-Along Participants in such sale consistent with this Section 6.1.

6.1.2

Each Tag-Along Participant may elect to participate in the proposed Tag-Along Transfer to the proposed Transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice by giving written notice to the Corporation and to each Transferor within twenty (20) Business Days after the delivery of the Transfer Notice to such Tag-Along Participant, which notice shall state that such Tag-Along Participant elects to exercise its rights of tag along under this Section 6.1.2 and shall state the maximum number of shares of Common Stock sought to be Transferred. Each Tag-Along Participant shall be deemed to have waived its right of tag along with respect to the Transferred Securities hereunder if it fails to give notice within the prescribed time period. Each Tag-Along Participant may sell all or any part of that number of shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Transferred Securities by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Transferors at the time of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (treating all classes of Common Stock as one class for this purpose).

6.1.3

Each Stockholder participating in a Tag-Along Transfer shall receive consideration in the same form for his, her or its shares of Common Stock after deduction of such Stockholder’s proportionate share of the related expenses. Each Stockholder participating in a Tag-Along Transfer shall agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Transferor, so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by each Stockholder; provided, that any general indemnity given by the Transferor, applicable to liabilities not specific to the Transferor, to the Transferee in connection with such Tag-Along Transfer shall be apportioned among the Stockholders participating in such Tag-Along Transfer according to the consideration received by each such Stockholder and shall not exceed such

- 17 -

Stockholder’s net proceeds from the Tag-Along Transfer; provided, further, that any representation relating specifically to a Stockholder or its ownership of the Transferred Securities shall be made only by that Stockholder. The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a Tag-Along Transfer and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Corporation or the Transferee(s) or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Stockholder in respect of its Transferred Securities; provided, that no Stockholder shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Tag-Along Transfer (excluding de minimis expenditures). The proposed Tag-Along Transfer date may be extended beyond the date described in the Transfer Notice to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain required approvals of governmental entities and other required approvals and the Corporation and the Stockholders shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals.

6.1.4

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1, this Section 6.1 shall not apply to any Transfer of Common Stock by Equinox or any Affiliate thereof to Equinox or any Affiliate thereof or, for the avoidance of doubt, an direct or indirect shareholder of Equinox.

6.2.2

material terms pertaining to the Acquisition, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Dragged Holders are required to sell in connection with such Drag-Along Right.

6.2.3

The consummation of such proposed Acquisition shall be subject to the sole discretion of Equinox, who shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever to the Dragged Holders participating therein for not consummating such proposed Acquisition other than their obligations as set forth herein. The Dragged Holders shall receive the benefits of the same terms and conditions in such Acquisition. Any such Acquisition shall be on terms that provide that the Dragged Holders shall (i) not be subject to personal liability for indemnification or otherwise beyond being required to contribute to an indemnification escrow on a pro rata basis with all other Stockholders based on consideration to be received by each and (ii) not be subject to any restrictive covenants that extend beyond the closing of such Acquisition. No Dragged Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties in connection with any such proposed Acquisition other than to represent to such Transferee that such Dragged Holder is the record and beneficial owner of its shares of Common Stock free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, that the instrument of transfer relating to such shares entered into by such Dragged Holder will be effective to vest ownership of such shares in such Transferee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, that such Dragged Holder has all requisite authority to engage in the proposed Acquisition, that the Dragged Holder, if an entity, is duly organized and that the proposed Acquisition will not contravene applicable law or, if applicable, such Dragged Holder’s Organizational Documents.

6.2.4

To the extent required under applicable law, each Stockholder shall take all actions necessary (at both the Board level (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law) and the stockholder level) to approve the Acquisition and cause the Acquisition to be consummated including: (i) voting the shares of Common Stock then beneficially held by such Stockholder in favor of the Acquisition at any meeting of the Stockholders called to vote on the Acquisition or, in the alternative, approving the Acquisition by written consent of the Stockholders, (ii) raising no objections to the Acquisition or the process pursuant to which the Acquisition was arranged other than objections, if applicable, that the terms of this Section 6.2 were not adhered to in some material respect, (iii) waiving any dissenters’ rights, appraisal or similar rights in connection with the Acquisition and (iv) taking all other necessary and desirable actions reasonably requested by Equinox to cause the Acquisition to be consummated. Each Dragged Holder also shall enter into such customary agreements as may be reasonably required of and entered into by all Stockholders, including Equinox and its Affiliates, in order to the close the Acquisition.

Termination. The provisions set forth in this Section 6 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after the Trigger Time.

10.1.2

Effective immediately prior to the Trigger Time, each share of Class A Common Stock then outstanding shall automatically convert into one share of Class B Common Stock without any further action, deed or notice.

10.1.3

From and after the Trigger Time, all rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock as such hereunder and under the DGCL shall cease and be of no further force or effect, except that the rights of the holders of the Class A Common Stock under Section 8.2 hereof shall continue as rights of such holders in respect of the shares of Class B Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Class A Common Stock were converted pursuant to this Section 10.1.

If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the filing date hereof combine the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation simultaneously shall combine the Class A Common Stock on the same combination ratio. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

10.3

Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the filing date hereof shall make or issue, or

- 22 -

fix a record date for the determination of holders of Class B Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable on the Class B Common Stock in additional shares of any class of Common Stock, then the Corporation simultaneously shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Class A Common Stock in additional shares of any such class of Common Stock.

10.5

Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, including an IPO, involving the Corporation in which the Class B Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Sections 10.2, 10.3 or 10.4), then, simultaneous with such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Class A Common Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the same kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which a share of Class B Common Stock was converted or exchanged; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 10.5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Class A Common Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 10 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of such Class A Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.5 shall be construed as preventing the holders of Class A Common Stock from seeking any appraisal rights to which they are otherwise entitled under the DGCL in connection with a merger triggering an adjustment hereunder, nor shall this Section 10.5 be deemed conclusive evidence of the fair value of the shares of such Class A Common Stock in any such appraisal proceeding.

10.6

Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 10, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Class A Common Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of

securities, cash or other property into which such Class A Common Stock, as well as the Class B Common Stock, is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Class A Common Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of such Class A Common Stock, as well as the Class B Common Stock.

10.7

Notice of Record Date. In the event (a) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of any class of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; (b) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of any class of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Corporate Transaction Event; or (c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Common Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of such Common Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to such Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

VI.

A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not, in his or her capacity as a director, be personally liable to the Corporation or its Stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the Stockholders of this Article VI to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.

B. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”),

- 29 -

whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section D of this Article VI with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

C. Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section B of this Article VI shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding for which such right to indemnification is applicable in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “Undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section C of Article VI or otherwise.

D. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in Section B and Section C of this Article VI shall be contract rights. If a claim under Section B or Section C of this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or its Stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or its

- 30 -

Stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement of Expenses, under this Article or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

E. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

F. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

G. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification, and the Advancement of Expenses, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

H. Amendment. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VI, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VI, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VI in respect of any matter occurring, or action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this Article VI, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

If the DGCL hereafter is amended to further eliminate or limit the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. Any repeal or modification of Article VI by the Stockholders shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director, officer or other agent of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

VII.

A. The Corporation renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of (i) any director of the Corporation who is not an employee or consultant of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) any holder of Common Stock or any partner, member, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any such holder, other than someone who is an employee or consultant of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.

The incorporator of the Corporation is Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, whose mailing address is 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.

IX.

The Corporation shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article X.

2.	Meetings of Stockholders

(a) Annual Meetings. Annual meetings of stockholders for the election of directors and for such other business as may properly be conducted at such meetings shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and date as the Board of Directors shall determine by resolution and set forth in the notice of the meeting. In the event that the Board of Directors fails to so determine the time, date and place for the annual meeting, it shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation at 10:00 o’clock a.m. on the last business day in March of each year.

(b) Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by resolution of the Board of Directors and shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request of not less than 10% in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat. Notice of each special meeting shall be given in accordance with section 2(c) of this Article 2. Unless otherwise permitted by law, business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose stated in the notice.

(c) Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting, which shall state the place, date and time of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be mailed to or delivered to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat. Such notice shall be given not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of any such meeting.

(d) Quorum. Unless otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders.

(e) Voting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. Upon the request of stockholders holding not less than 10% of the capital stock held by the stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting, voting shall be by written ballot. Unless otherwise required by law, these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation, all other corporate action shall be decided by a vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote.

(f) Inspectors. The Board of Directors may, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If any of the inspectors so appointed shall fail to appear or act, the chairman of the

-1-

meeting may appoint one or more inspectors. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall determine the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the results, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of the chairman of the meeting, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, request or matter determined by them and shall execute a certificate of any fact found by them. No director or candidate for the office of director shall act as an inspector of an election of directors.

(g) Chairman of Meetings. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, if one is elected, or, in his or her absence or disability, the secretary of the Corporation, shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders.

(h) Secretary of Meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as Secretary at all meetings of the stockholders. In the absence or disability of the Secretary, the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall appoint a person to act as Secretary at such meetings.

(i) Lists of Stockholders. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number and class of shares held by each. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the meeting and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present for any purpose germane to the meeting.

(j) Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at such meetings, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

(k) Adjournment. At any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, if less than a quorum be present, the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall be present. Any business may be transacted at the adjourned meeting which might have been transacted at the meeting originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date, as provided for in section 5(e) of Article 5 of these Bylaws, is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

(b) Number and Term. The number of directors shall initially be five but, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, may be changed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Directors need not be stockholders.

(c) Resignations. A director may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing, and shall take effect at the time specified therein, and if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Secretary.

A vacancy created by the resignation of a director shall be filled as provided in section 3(e) of this Article 3.

(d) Removal. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed either for or without cause at any time by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote for the election of directors at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose. Except as otherwise set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies thus created may be filled at such meeting by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, or, if the vacancies are not so filled, by the directors as provided in section 3(e) of this Article 3, in each case, however, a vacancy created by the removal of a director shall be filled with an individual designated by the party which designated the director removed pursuant to this section 3(d).

Such notice may also be sent by telegram or facsimile.

(b) Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

7.	Amendment of Bylaws

(a) Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws may be altered, amended, or repealed or new Bylaws may be adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors comprising a full Board of Directors at any regular meeting of the Board of Directors without prior notice, or at any special meeting of the Board of Directors if notice of such alteration, amendment, or repeal be contained in the notice of such special meeting.

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

-8-

(b) Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any director or officer, and may indemnify any other person, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) Mandatory Indemnification. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in sections 8(a) or 8(b) of this Article 8, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. With the intent that the Corporation shall be the primary source of for any advancement or indemnification obligation hereunder, the Corporation shall have no right to seek contribution or other reimbursement from any other party (other than pursuant to insurance policies procured by the Corporation and indemnity arrangements entered into in writing with the Corporation) with an obligation (under contract, law or otherwise) to indemnify a director of the Corporation.

(d) Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under sections 8(a) or 8(b) of this Article 8 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in sections 8(a) or 8(b) of this Article 8. Such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders.

(e) Payment of Expenses in Advance. In addition to the rights of indemnification conferred by this Article 8, each present or former director or officer of the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be entitled to the advancement of his or her expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the such present or former director or officer, to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article 8. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by employees and agents of the Corporation may be so advanced upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

(f) Indemnity Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or granted hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those

-9-

seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any other bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

(g) Amendment or Repeal. Any amendment or repeal of the provisions of this Article 8 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. The rights provided hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any indemnified person’s heirs, executors and administrators.

(h) Definitions. For purposes of this Article 8:

(i) “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article 8 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued;

(v) a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article 8.

(i) Continuation of Indemnity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or granted hereunder shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

(f) Termination Other than Without Cause or for Good Reason. In the event of any termination of employment pursuant to this Section 4 other than a termination by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 4(d) or by Employee for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(e), Employee shall not be entitled to any additional compensation, severance, separation, termination or other payments or benefits, except (i) as may specifically be set forth in the surviving provisions of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of SoulCycle Holdings, LLC, any agreement evidencing the Conversion and/or the Redemption, or any other agreement or instrument agreed to between EHI, on the one hand, and Employee, on the other hand (the “Separate Obligations”) and (ii) for any accrued but unpaid Base Salary or Incentive Bonus as of the termination of Employee’s employment (the “Accrued Obligations”); provided that if Employee worked a full calendar year and Employee terminates her employment without Good Reason after the end of such calendar year but prior to the

(f) Non-Disparagement. In consideration of their sale of equity in SoulCycle Holdings pursuant to the Redemption Transaction, during the Restriction Period, neither Employee nor the Company or any of its Affiliates (including EHI) will, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any conduct or make any statement, whether in commercial or noncommercial speech, disparaging or criticizing in any way the other or any of its Affiliates, or any of the products or services offered by any of them or (ii) engage in any other conduct or make any other statement, in each case, which could reasonably be expected to impair the goodwill or reputation of the other or any of its Affiliates, the reputation of the products and services of the other or any of its Affiliates or the marketing of the products and services of the other or any of its Affiliates.

2.1 Demand Registration.

(a) Form S-1 Demand. If at any time after one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, the Company receives a request from Holders of thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to at least forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (or a lesser percent if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, would exceed $10 million), then the Company shall (x) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (y) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.

(b) Form S-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $5 million, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any

event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Subsection 2.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental or disadvantageous to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, divestiture, financing, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction or the unavailability for reasons beyond the Company’s reasonable control of any required financial statements or any other event or condition of similar significance to the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act to permit use of such registration statement (a “Blackout Determination”), then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such ninety (90) day period other than an Excluded Registration. In addition, in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis as contemplated by Section 2.5(a), upon written notice from the Company of a Blackout Determination, such Holders shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until the earlier of (x) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material (or the Company otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act), (y) thirty (30) days after the Board made such good faith determination, unless resuming use of the registration statement is then prohibited by applicable rules or published interpretations of the SEC, or (z) such time as the Company notifies such Holders that sales pursuant to such registration statement may be resumed (the number of days from the day of such suspension of sales of the Holders until day when such sales may be resumed hereunder is hereinafter called a “Sales Blackout Period”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any Sales Blackout Period. If there is Blackout Determination, the period set forth in Section 2.5(a) shall be extended for a number of days equal to the number of days in the Sales Blackout Period.

(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose

of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Subsection 2.6, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d).

2.2 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.2, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6.

2.3 Underwriting Requirements.

(a) If, pursuant to Subsection 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Subsection 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsection 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such

other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the provision in this Subsection 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(c) For purposes of Subsection 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Subsection 2.3(a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(c) furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

(f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(h) promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

(i) notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

(j) after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective pursuant to this Section 2, its xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such policy.

2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

2.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements, not to exceed $25,000, of one counsel for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”), shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Subsection 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1(a) or 2.1(b), as the case may be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any

of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1(a) or 2.1(b). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder 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 Section 2.

2.8 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and each Person, if any, who controls such underwriter or other Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way

of indemnity or contribution under Subsections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Subsection 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action.

(d) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Subsection 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Subsection 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Subsection 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Subsection 2.8(d), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(f) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Subsection 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.9 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO;

(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

2.10 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the consent of each of the Founders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include such securities in any registration unless, 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 reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included; or (ii) allow

such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided, that the foregoing shall not in any manner apply to any agreement providing rights to registration that the Company shall enter into with Equinox Holdings, Inc. and its direct and indirect owners and any Affiliate of the foregoing as long as such agreement provides for the Holders to participate in any demand registration and, as applicable any underwriting, subject to any customary cut back provisions (which shall be pro rata and shall not otherwise provide for disparate treatment of the Holders) in the case of an underwriting.

2.11 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) The Restricted Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the conditions specified in Subsection 2.11(c), which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of Restricted Securities held by such Holder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in Subsection 2.11(c).

(b) Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities and any other securities issued in respect of such Restricted Securities, upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall be notated with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Subsection 2.11.

(c) The holder of such Restricted Securities, by acceptance of ownership thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Subsection 2.11. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale,

pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (as determined by such Holder) (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate or Permitted Transferee of such Holder for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Subsection 2.11. Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Subsection 2.11(b), except that such certificate instrument, or book entry shall not be notated with such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

2.12 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1 or 2.2 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of:

(a) such date on or after the closing of the Company’s IPO when such Holder’s Registrable Securities could be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144; and

(b) the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the IPO, as defined in the certificate of incorporation of the Company in effect upon the Conversion.

2.13 Market Stand-Off Agreement. Each Holder agrees that, in connection with any public offering of the Company’s Common Stock or other equity securities, and upon the request of any managing underwriter in such offering, such Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter, sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale of, any Common Stock or equity securities of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration statement) during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus for the public offering filed under the Securities Act and ending on the date specified by the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the registration statement plus such additional period up to thirty-five (35) days as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (A) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (B) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor

provisions or amendments thereto). The foregoing provisions of this Subsection 2.13 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, or the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, 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, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all executive officers, directors and key employees of the Company and holders of at least five percent (5%) of the Company’s voting securities (treating for this purpose all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of or conversion of outstanding options, warrants or preferred stock, as if exercised or converted) are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. The obligations described in this Subsection 2.13 shall not apply to a registration statement relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each such certificate with the second legend set forth in Section 2.11 hereof with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day (or other) period. Each Holder agrees to execute a market standoff agreement with said underwriters as reasonably requested in customary form to the extent consistent with or necessary to give further effect to the provisions of this Subsection 2.13. Any early release from, or discretionary waiver or termination of, the lock-up period contained herein and in any such agreement with the underwriters, as applicable, by the Company or the managing underwriters shall be apportioned pro rata among all securityholders bound by the lock-up period.

3. Miscellaneous.

3.1 Successors and Assigns. The rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee of Registrable Securities that (i) is an Affiliate of a Holder; (ii) is a member or equity holder of a Holder; (iii) is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or one or more of such Holder’s Immediate Family Members; or (iv) after such transfer, holds at least fifty percent (50%) of such Holder’s shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and other recapitalizations) (collectively, “Permitted Transferees”); provided, however, that (x) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred; and (y) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Subsection 2.13. For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee, the holdings of a transferee (1) that is an Affiliate, member, equity holder or stockholder of a Holder; (2) who is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member; or (3) that is a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member shall be aggregated together and with those of the transferring Holder; provided further that all transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices, or taking any action under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties. Nothing in

this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assignees any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

3.2 Governing Law. To the extent that the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) purports to apply to this Agreement, the DGCL shall apply. In all other cases, this Agreement and any and all matters arising directly or indirectly herefrom shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in such state, without giving effect to the conflict or choice of law principles thereof. For all matters arising directly or indirectly from this Agreement (“Agreement Matters”), each of the parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably consents and submits to the sole exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any state court in the State of New York that is located in New York County (and of the appropriate appellate courts from any of the foregoing) in connection with any legal action, lawsuit, arbitration, mediation, or other legal or quasi legal proceeding (“Proceeding”) directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to any Agreement Matter; provided that a party to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce an order or judgment of any such court in any United States or foreign court having jurisdiction over the other party, (ii) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding in any such court or that any such Proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any immunity from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process therein, (iv) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury in connection with a Proceeding, (v) agrees not to commence any Proceeding other than in such courts, and (vi) agrees that service of any summons, complaint, notice or other process relating to such Proceeding may be effected in the manner provided for the giving of notice as set forth in herein.

3.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

3.4 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

3.5 Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or (i) personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent, if sent by electronic mail or facsimile during the recipient’s normal business hours, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day; (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next-day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at their addresses as set forth on

Schedule A hereto, or to the principal office of the Company and to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer, in the case of the Company, or to such email address, facsimile number, or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Subsection 3.5. If notice is given to the Founders, a copy (which shall not constitute notice) shall also be sent to Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, 1251 Avenue of the Xxxxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Esq.

3.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of (a) the Company, (b) the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and (c) the Founders; provided that the Company may in its sole discretion waive compliance with Subsection 2.11(c) (and the Company’s failure to object promptly in writing after notification of a proposed assignment allegedly in violation of Subsection 2.11(c) shall be deemed to be a waiver); and provided further that any provision hereof may be waived by any waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor, unless such amendment, termination, or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion. The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination, or waiver. Any amendment, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Subsection 3.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

3.7 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

3.8 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by Affiliates or other Permitted Transferees shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement and such Affiliated persons and Permitted Transferees may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.

3.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.

3.10 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching or nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

SoulCycle Management, LLC

[ ], 2015

Xxxxxx Xxxx

Dear Xx. Xxxx:

We refer to the membership interests previously granted to you in SoulCycle Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Management LLC”). Management LLC currently is a member in SoulCycle Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SC LLC”), holding the Series C Units in SC LLC. SC LLC intends to convert to a Delaware corporation to be named SoulCycle Inc. (“SC Inc.”), pursuant to section 265 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Conversion”). In connection with the Conversion, the Series C Units in SC LLC held by Management LLC will be converted into shares of Class B Common Stock of SC Inc. and, immediately following the Conversion, Management LLC will dissolve and make a distribution to you of your Restricted Shares (as defined below). Instead of holding your equity interest in SC Inc. through Management LLC, you will become a direct stockholder of SC Inc. and hold your shares directly, subject to the terms and conditions of this letter agreement (this “Equity Incentive Letter”).

As set forth in paragraph (d) below, you agree that your membership interests in Management LLC will be cancelled and void effective upon the Conversion and the transfer to you of your Restricted Shares.

By countersigning and returning a copy of this Equity Incentive Letter, you agree that you shall be bound by all of the terms of the Equity Incentive Letter, including the provisions set forth in Annex A hereto, and that, if at any time you commit a breach of this Equity Incentive Letter, including the provisions of Annex A hereto, you will forfeit all Restricted Shares owned by you at the time of your breach. Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex B attached hereto.

The specific terms of your Restricted Shares are as follows:

(a) Your Participation in Management LLC. Subject to the vesting requirements of paragraph (b) below, promptly following the effective date of the Conversion and provided that you have been continuously employed by SC LLC (or SC Inc., after the Conversion) or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from the date hereof through and including the date of the distribution to you under this paragraph (a), you shall receive a distribution of 5,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Restricted Shares”) representing your 50% share of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by Management LLC immediately following the effective date of the

- 1 -

Conversion. You acknowledge and agree that you do not own and are not entitled to any direct or indirect equity interest in SC LLC other than the Class B Units you own in Management LLC and you understand and agree that the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock may be increased from time to time without your consent and that any such increase will result in a decrease in the percentage of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock represented by the shares of Class B Common Stock acquired by you hereunder. By way of example, if SC Inc. undertakes a Public Offering, additional shares will be issued, resulting in a decrease in the percentage of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock owned by you. Of course, no assurance can be given that SC Inc. will pursue or consummate a Public Offering.

(b) Vesting. So long as you remain in continuous active employment or other active service with SC LLC (or SC Inc., after the Conversion) or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates through the applicable date of vesting, your Restricted Shares shall vest as follows: (i) in the event of a Sale Transaction, one hundred percent (100%) of your Restricted Shares shall vest upon such Sale Transaction; or (ii) in the event of a Public Offering, fifty percent (50%) of your Restricted Shares shall vest on the six-month anniversary of the consummation of such Public Offering, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of your Restricted Shares shall vest on the eighteen-month anniversary of the consummation of such Public Offering; provided that in the event a Sale Transaction or Public Offering has not occurred on or before the seventh anniversary of the Conversion, the Restricted Shares shall lapse and be forfeited (without any further payment to you). Restricted Shares that have vested in accordance with this paragraph (b) are referred to as “Vested Shares” and Restricted Shares that have not vested in accordance with this paragraph (b) are referred to as “Unvested Shares”.

(c) Forfeiture. Upon the termination of your employment or other service with SC LLC (or SC Inc., after the Conversion) or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of death or your becoming Disabled) or no reason, all Restricted Shares then owned by you, whether Unvested Shares or Vested Shares, shall be forfeited (without the payment of any consideration to you) effective as of the date on which your termination occurs. In the event any of your Restricted Shares are forfeited for any reason (whether or not such forfeiture is pursuant to this paragraph (c)), 50% of such forfeited Restricted Shares shall be automatically transferred to each of Rice and Xxxxxx (the “Reversion”) and you hereby irrevocably authorize SC Inc. to, and SC Inc. shall, cause the certificates representing any such forfeited Restricted Shares registered in your name to be cancelled and certificates representing 50% of such forfeited Restricted Shares to be issued in the names of each of Rice and Xxxxxx. For avoidance of doubt, Restricted Shares transferred pursuant to the Reversion shall not be subject to the terms and conditions of this Equity Incentive Letter, and shall be vested and non-forfeitable with respect to Rice and Xxxxxx, as applicable, as of the date of the Reversion. Rice and Xxxxxx are express third-party beneficiaries of this Equity Incentive Letter, including without limitation the release described in paragraph (a) of Annex A hereto. Each of Xxxxxx and Rice shall, for all purposes, be deemed stockholders of record on the date of the Reversion with respect to the Restricted Shares transferrable to them under this paragraph, and SC Inc. shall take all reasonable steps necessary to effectuate such transfer.

(d) Cancellation of Membership Interests. You acknowledge and agree that the distribution to you of Restricted Shares hereunder is in lieu of, and to replace, your membership interests in Management LLC. By signing this Agreement, you agree that, upon the

- 2 -

effectiveness of this Equity Incentive Letter pursuant to paragraph (f) hereof, any and all such membership interests shall be cancelled and forfeited, and shall be null, void and without any legal force or effect. You acknowledge and agree that this grant of the Restricted Shares is good and valuable and sufficient consideration for the cancellation of any and all such membership interests in Management LLC. You further agree to the dissolution of Management LLC and the liquidation thereof, as described herein.

(e) Non-Transferable. You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of or encumber (“Transfer”) all or any portion of your Unvested Shares without the written consent of the Board of Directors of SC Inc. (the “Board”), which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Board, and any purported Transfer made without such consent shall be void ab initio. You may Transfer all or any portion of your Vested Shares provided that any Transfer shall be made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

(f) Effective Date. You agree as follows: (i) this Equity Incentive Letter has been executed and delivered by the parties hereto as of the date hereof; (b) this Agreement will become effective on the later to occur of (i) the effective date of the Conversion and (ii) the date as of which all of the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Equity Incentive Letter; and (iii) this Equity Incentive Letter will terminate and be of no further force or effect if the Conversion has not occurred by May 21, 2015 (or such later date as may be agreed by Xxxxxx, Xxxx and SC LLC).

You acknowledge and agree that you have had an opportunity to consult, and you have consulted, to the extent so desired, with financial, legal and tax advisors of your own selection with respect to the Restricted Shares and the terms of this Equity Incentive Letter. You further acknowledge and agree that you have not received and are not relying on Cutler, Rice, SC LLC, SC Inc., Management LLC or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates for any such advice. You shall not have any right to be retained in the employ or engagement of SC LLC, SC Inc. or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and nothing in this Equity Incentive Letter shall interfere in any way with the right of your employer or service recipient to terminate your employment or other services at any time for any reason. This Equity Incentive Letter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this agreement and their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, SC Inc. immediately following the Conversion.

This Equity Incentive Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. All matters arising hereunder shall only be heard in the federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York, County of New York. You consent to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of each such court. You hereby agree to waive the right to a jury trial in any dispute under this Equity Incentive Letter or any of the agreements referenced herein. This Equity Incentive Letter shall not be amended or modified in any respect except by a writing signed by you on the one hand, and SC LLC or SC Inc., as the case may be, on the other hand, and such writing and this Equity Incentive Letter may be signed in separate counterpart copies, including facsimile or other electronically transmitted counterpart copies, but such copies taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Annex A

(a) Release. Notwithstanding anything in this Equity Incentive Letter to the contrary, in no event shall any of your Restricted Shares become Vested Shares unless and until you deliver to SC Inc. a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SC Inc., under which you release and discharge SC Inc., the shareholders of SC Inc., the Subsidiaries of SC Inc., and each of their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees and agents, from any claim or cause of action of any kind, including, but not limited to, any claim or cause of action arising out of your employment or the termination of your employment with SC Inc. or any Subsidiary of SC Inc., but excluding claims and causes of action relating to (i) any obligation of SC Inc. to make payments or provide benefits after termination of employment or retention pursuant to any Separate Agreement or (ii) SC Inc.’s compliance with the terms hereof.

(b) Non-Competition. Except as otherwise provided in your Separate Agreement, if any (in which event such Separate Agreement, if any, shall control in all respects), you acknowledge that SC Inc. would not have issued to you the Restricted Shares but for the covenants contained in this Annex A (the “Restrictive Covenants”), which are made by you for the benefit of SC Inc. and the Subsidiaries of SC Inc. and each of their respective Affiliates. Accordingly, you agree that the Restrictive Covenants shall apply to you as provided below (except as otherwise expressly set forth above):

(i) For the period (the “Restricted Period”) beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later to occur of (A) the first anniversary of the date on which your employment with SC LLC (or SC Inc., after the Conversion) or any Subsidiary thereof is terminated or ceases to exist for any reason, and (B) the second anniversary of the date on which any portion of the Restricted Shares first vests, you covenant and agree not to, directly or indirectly, conduct, manage, operate, engage in or have an ownership interest in any business or enterprise (other than the parties described in paragraph (a) of this Annex A for whom these Restrictive Covenants are expressly intended to benefit) engaged in the management and/or operation of any form of in-premises fitness-related training or classes other than full-service health clubs and/or gyms; provided, however, that you may own, directly or indirectly, solely as a passive investment, securities of any Person if you are not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such Person, and does not, directly or indirectly, own two percent (2%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(ii) During the Restricted Period, you shall not, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit or encourage any employee, officer, or director of SC Inc. or any Subsidiaries of SC Inc. or any of their respective Affiliates, to leave the employment thereby; or (B) hire any employee or former employee or any officer or director of SC Inc., any Subsidiaries of SC Inc. or any of their respective Affiliates.

(iii) During the Restricted Period, you shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any Person who is a supplier, customer, client, distributor, or advertiser of the SC Inc., any Subsidiaries of SC Inc. or any of their respective Affiliates to discontinue such Person’s business relationship with the SC Inc., any Subsidiaries of SC Inc. or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be.

- 6 -

(iv) The provisions of this paragraph (b) may be assigned by SC Inc. to the purchaser or other acquirer of SC Inc. or its assets or business (in which event the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall continue to be binding upon you and shall be enforceable by the purchaser or other acquirer).

(v) You acknowledge that (a) you have had an opportunity to seek advice of counsel in connection with all of the provisions of this Equity Incentive Letter including, without limitation, the Restrictive Covenants contained herein; (b) the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in scope and in all other respects; (c) any violation of the Restrictive Covenants will result in irreparable injury to the SC Inc., any Subsidiaries of SC Inc. and any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable; (d) money damages would not be an adequate remedy to SC Inc., any Subsidiaries of SC Inc. and any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants by you; and (e) specific performance in the form of injunctive relief would be an appropriate remedy in such case for SC Inc., any Subsidiaries of SC Inc. and any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable. If you breach or threaten to breach a Restrictive Covenant, SC Inc., any Subsidiaries of SC Inc. and any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach, without any bond or other security being required and without the necessity of showing actual damages.

(c) Confidentiality. The terms and conditions hereof and the discussions between the parties will be confidential information and will not be disclosed to any third party by any means, including press releases or any kind of news communication, without the consent of SC LLC, SC Inc. or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, however, you may disclose the terms and conditions hereof to your legal, financial and tax advisors.

(d) Responsibility for taxes; withholding.

(i) You agree that you shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on you (including any taxes and penalties arising under section 409A of the Code) as a result of your receipt and the vesting of Restricted Shares hereunder, and neither SC LLC, SC Inc., Management LLC, Xxxxxx, Rice nor any of their Affiliates nor any of their respective employees, directors, or agents shall have any obligation to mitigate, indemnify, or to otherwise hold you harmless from any or all of such taxes.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, concurrently with any income tax recognition event by you in respect of your Restricted Shares, you shall pay to SC Inc. an amount in cash equal to the amount of the minimum statutory withholding or your share of other taxes payable by SC Inc. with respect to such income tax recognition event. To the extent that you fail to pay such amount to SC Inc., SC Inc. shall be entitled to, and you hereby irrevocably authorize SC Inc. to, and SC Inc. shall, cause the certificates representing a number of Restricted Shares registered in your name having a then fair market value equal to the amount (not to exceed the minimum statutory withholding amounts) you so failed to pay to SC Inc. to be cancelled and to be reissued to SC Inc. as treasury shares.

- 7 -

(iii) If and to the extent that SC Inc. shall be required to and does withhold any amount in respect of any such income tax recognition event any amounts owed to you by SC Inc. or any of its Affiliates, you shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to have received a payment from SC Inc. as of the time of such withholding or the time tax is required to be paid, as applicable. To the extent that the aggregate amount that SC Inc. is so required to withhold for any period exceeds the amount of any payments to which you are entitled for that period, you shall make a prompt payment to SC Inc. of the amount of such excess.

(iv) You shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless SC Inc. and each Person who is or who is deemed to be the responsible withholding agent for SC Inc. for federal, state or local income tax purposes against all claims, liabilities and expenses of any kind (other than any claims, liabilities and expenses in the nature of penalties and accrued interest thereon that result solely from such Person’s fraud, willful misfeasance or gross negligence) relating to such Person’s obligation to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or your share of other taxes payable by the Company in respect of your Restricted Shares.

(e) All calculations and distributions made pursuant to this Equity Incentive Letter shall be made by SC LLC (or SC Inc., after the Conversion) in good faith and shall be final and binding on all parties.
