ARTICLE III

EFFECTS OF THE MERGER ON THE COMPANY COMMON STOCK AND EQUITY AWARDS

Section 3.1 Conversion of Securities.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Common Stock, each share of Company Common Stock, in each case, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any shares of Company Common Stock subject to Company Awards (which shall be subject to Section 3.3), (ii) any shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, which treasury shares shall be canceled as part of the Merger and shall not constitute “Company Common Stock” hereunder (each such share, a “Treasury Share”), and (iii) any Dissenting Shares), shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(c).

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror or Merger Sub, each share of Merger Sub Capital Stock, shall be converted into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than in respect of (x) Treasury Shares, (y) Dissenting Shares, and (z) any shares of Company Common Stock subject to Company Awards (which shall be subject to Section 3.3)) shall be entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration equal to (i) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, with fractional shares rounded up or down to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 of a share or greater rounded up), as applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger.

Section 3.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Prior to the Closing, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Acquiror shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Aggregate Merger Consideration to the Company’s equityholders. At or before the Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in shares of Acquiror Common Stock.

(b) Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall send or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 3.1(a) into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in a form mutually agreed in good faith among the Exchange Agent, Acquiror and the Company prior to Closing, for use in such exchange (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, pursuant to Section 3.1(a), shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) or a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal, as applicable, and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

(d) If payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the record holder of any Company Common Stock, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such shares surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Acquiror that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

(e) Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that has not exchanged such shares of Company Common Stock for an applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, may transfer such shares of Company Common Stock to Acquiror and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such shares shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.3 Treatment of Company Awards.

(a) As of the Effective Time, each Company Option (whether vested or unvested) that is then outstanding shall be converted into an option to purchase shares of Acquiror Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, an “Acquiror Option”), except that (i) such Acquiror Option shall provide the right to purchase that whole number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the exercise price per share for each such Acquiror Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent); provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an Acquiror RSU Award with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions, except that such Acquiror RSU Award shall be comprised of that number of Acquiror RSUs as is equal to the product of (i) the number of Company RSUs subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional restricted stock units rounded to the nearest whole restricted stock unit (with 0.5 of a restricted stock unit or greater rounded up).

(c) The Company shall take all necessary actions to effect the treatment of Company Awards pursuant to this Section 3.3 in accordance with the Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements thereunder and Acquiror shall ensure that no Acquiror Option or Acquiror RSU may be exercised or settled, as applicable, prior to the effective date of an applicable Form S-8 (or other applicable form, including Form S-1 but excluding Form S-3) of Acquiror. The board of directors of the Company shall amend the Incentive Plan and take all other necessary actions, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, in order to provide that no new Company Awards will be granted under the Incentive Plan.

Section 3.4 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision to this Agreement, Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company and the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement such Taxes that are required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts under the Code or any other applicable Law; provided that except with respect to (x) payments in the nature of compensation to be made to employees or former employees of the Company and (y) any deduction or withholding required as a result of the applicable withholding agent not having timely received the documentation described in Section 2.4(a)(vi) or a properly completed IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, or other appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the intent to withhold in connection with the payment of the Aggregate Merger

Consideration and will reasonably cooperate with the Company to reduce or eliminate any applicable withholding. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be (i) timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority and (ii) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.5 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1 without interest thereon, upon transfer of such shares. The Company shall provide Acquiror prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time that relates to such demand, and Acquiror shall be consulted with respect to all material negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands (and promptly notified of all other negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands). Except with the prior written consent of Acquiror (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands.

Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting Acquiror’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in Acquiror’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. Since its incorporation, Acquiror has established and maintained a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Acquiror’s financial reporting and the preparation of Acquiror Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

with the auditor’s reports thereon (the “Acquiror Financial Statements”).

Section 7.10 PIPE Subscriptions. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), and except for any of the following actions that would not increase conditionality or impose any new obligation on the Company or Acquiror, reduce the Committed PIPE Investment Amount or the subscription amount under any Subscription Agreement or reduce or impair the rights of Acquiror under any Subscription Agreement, Acquiror shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, any waiver (in whole or in part) of, or provide consent to modify (including consent to terminate), any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, any of the Subscription Agreements, in each case, other than any assignment or transfer contemplated therein or expressly permitted thereby (without any further amendment, modification or waiver to such assignment or transfer provision); provided that, in the case of any such assignment or transfer, the initial party to such Subscription Agreement remains bound by its obligations with respect thereto in the event that the transferee or assignee, as applicable, does not comply with its obligations to consummate the purchase of shares of Acquiror Common Stock and Acquiror Convertible Preferred Stock contemplated thereby. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence and in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements have been satisfied, Acquiror shall take, or to cause to be taken, all actions required, necessary or that it otherwise deems to be proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms described therein, including using its reasonable best efforts to enforce its rights under the Subscription Agreements to cause the PIPE Investors to pay to (or as directed by) Acquiror the applicable purchase price

under each PIPE Investor’s applicable Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(i) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, (x) Acquiror and the Company shall jointly prepare and Acquiror shall file with the SEC, mutually acceptable materials which shall include the proxy statement to be filed with the SEC and sent to the Acquiror Shareholders relating to the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting (such proxy statement, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). Each of Acquiror and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Each of Acquiror and the Company agrees to furnish to the other party all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, stockholders, and other equityholders and information regarding such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested in connection with the Proxy Statement, a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Super 8-K”), or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Acquiror, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries to any regulatory authority (including the NYSE) in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Offer Documents”). Acquiror will cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Acquiror Shareholders after

all comments of the SEC on the Proxy Statement are addressed. Acquiror shall promptly following the date of this Agreement commence a “broker-search” in accordance with Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act.

(ii) To the extent not prohibited by Law, Acquiror will advise the Company, reasonably promptly after Acquiror receives notice thereof, of the time when the Proxy Statement or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order, of the initiation or written threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Proxy Statement or for additional information. To the extent not prohibited by Law, the Company and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement and any Offer Document before any such document is filed with the SEC, and Acquiror shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the foregoing. Acquiror shall not file any such documents with the SEC without the prior consultation of the Company as described in the preceding sentence. To the extent not prohibited by Law, Acquiror shall provide the Company and its counsel with (A) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Acquiror or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (B) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of Acquiror to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC. Acquiror shall respond to any SEC comments on the Proxy Statement and any Offer Document as promptly as practicable.

(iii) Each of Acquiror and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by it or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the Acquiror Shareholders and at the time of the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(iv) If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company, Acquiror or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or officers, or supplied by the Company or Acquiror or on such party’s behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement, is discovered by the Company or Acquiror, which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, with respect to the Proxy Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the Acquiror Shareholders.

(b) Acquiror Shareholder Approval.

(i) Acquiror shall (x) as promptly as practicable, (A) cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to Acquiror Shareholders in compliance with applicable Law, (B) solely with respect to the Transaction Proposals, duly (1) give notice of and (2) convene and hold a general meeting (the “Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting”) in accordance with Acquiror’s Governing Documents and applicable Law and NYSE rules (including NYSE rule 102.06), (C) solicit proxies from the holders of Acquiror Common Stock with respect to the Transaction Proposals and (D) unless there has been a Modification in Recommendation, include the recommendation of Acquiror, through its board of directors, to vote in favor of each of the Transaction Proposals, and (y) provide its shareholders with the opportunity to elect, prior to the Acquiror Shareholder Approval, to effect an Acquiror Share Redemption.

(ii) Acquiror shall, through its board of directors, unless there has been a Modification in Recommendation, recommend to its shareholders the (A) amendment and restatement of Acquiror’s certificate of incorporation, including any separate or unbundled proposals as are required to implement the foregoing, (B) the approval of the Transactions in accordance with the Acquiror Certificate of Incorporation, (C) approval of the issuance of shares of Acquiror capital stock in connection with the Merger, PIPE Investment (including the issuance of more than one percent (1%) of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to a “related party” pursuant to the rules of the NYSE as contemplated by the Subscription Agreements with the applicable PIPE Investors) and Investor Investment, (D) approval of the adoption by Acquiror of the Incentive Award Plan described in Section 7.1(a), (E) the election of directors effective as of the Closing as contemplated by Section 7.6, (F) adoption and approval of any other proposals as the SEC (or staff member thereof) may indicate are necessary in its comments to the Proxy Statement or correspondence related thereto, (G) adoption and approval of any other proposals as reasonably agreed by Acquiror and the Company to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (H) adjournment of the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing (such proposals in clauses (A) through (H), together, the “Transaction Proposals”), and include such recommendations in the Proxy Statement. The board of directors of Acquiror shall not withdraw, amend, qualify or modify its recommendation to the shareholders of Acquiror that they vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals (together with any withdrawal, amendment, qualification or modification of its recommendation to the shareholders of Acquiror described in the Recitals hereto, a “Modification in Recommendation”); provided that no breach of this sentence shall be deemed to have occurred if, prior to such Modification in Recommendation and the Acquiror Shareholder Approval (1) the board of directors of Acquiror determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and, if and to the extent advisable depending on the circumstances, financial advisors, that failure to effect a Modification in Recommendation would be a breach of the fiduciary duties owed by the directors of Acquiror to the stockholders of Acquiror under applicable Law, (2) Acquiror shall have delivered written notice to the Company of its intention to make a Modification in Recommendation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the taking of such action by Acquiror, which notice shall include

the reasons for such determination and, if and to the extent applicable, any other material documents with respect thereto, (3) during such period and prior to making a Modification in Recommendation, if requested by the Company, Acquiror and its representatives shall have negotiated in good faith with the Company and its representatives regarding any revisions or adjustments proposed by the Company to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the board of directors of Acquiror to reaffirm such board’s recommendation to the shareholders of Acquiror that they vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals and not make such Modification in Recommendation and (4) if the Company requested negotiations in accordance with clause (3), Acquiror may make a Modification in Recommendation only if the board of directors of Acquiror, after considering in good faith any revisions or adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the Company shall have, prior to the expiration of the five (5) Business Day period, offered in writing to Acquiror, continues to determine in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and, if and to the extent advisable depending on the circumstances, financial advisors, that failure to make a Modification in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties to Acquiror’s stockholders under applicable Law.

(iii) Acquiror agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Acquiror Shareholder Approval shall not be affected by any Modification in Recommendation, and Acquiror agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting and submit for the approval of its shareholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement (including the Transaction Proposals), regardless of whether or not there shall be any Modification in Recommendation. For the avoidance of doubt, a Modification in Recommendation will not limit or otherwise affect the agreements and covenants set forth in the Sponsor Agreement. Acquiror may only adjourn the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Acquiror Shareholder Approval, (ii) for the absence of a quorum or (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Acquiror has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel is required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by Acquiror Shareholders prior to the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting; provided that the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting (x) may not be adjourned to a date that is more than fifteen (15) days after the date for which the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments required by applicable Law) and (y) shall not be held later than three (3) Business Days prior to the End Date. Acquiror agrees that it shall provide the holders of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock the opportunity to elect redemption of such shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock in connection with the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting, as required by Acquiror’s Governing Documents. Without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), the Transaction Proposals shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Acquiror shall propose to be acted on by Acquiror Shareholders at the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting, as adjourned or postponed.

(c) Company Equityholder Approval. As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of the Written Consent, the Company shall prepare and distribute to the equityholders of the Company who as of the delivery of the Written Consent to Acquiror had not executed and delivered the Written Consent a notice of action by written consent and appraisal rights as required by Sections 228 and 262 of the DGCL, as well as any additional information required by applicable Law or the Governing Documents of the Company (the “Stockholder Notice”). Acquiror shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Stockholder Notice and the Acquiror shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Stockholder Notice and promptly provide all reasonable information regarding Acquiror and Merger Sub reasonably requested by the Company.

Section 8.3 Support of Transaction. Without limiting any covenant contained in Article VI, or Article VII (but except with respect to Competition Laws for which the parties’ respective obligations shall be limited to those set forth in Section 8.1), Acquiror and the Company shall each, and each shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (a) use reasonable best efforts to obtain as soon as practicable all material consents and approvals of third parties (including any Governmental Authority) that any of Acquiror, or the Company or their respective Affiliates are required to obtain in order to consummate the Merger and (b) take such other action as soon as practicable as may be reasonably necessary or as another party hereto may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article IX or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable and in accordance with all applicable Law.

and conditions not less favorable to the Company in any material respect than those described in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (including any “market flex” provisions that are contained in the Fee Letter), (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (but in any event substantially concurrent with the Closing) or obtain the waiver of all conditions applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (or any Debt Financing Agreements), (iv) consummate the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter substantially concurrent with the Closing and (v) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and the Debt Financing Agreements.

(b) Other than as set forth in this Section 8.5(b), prior to the Closing, the Company or the Company Debt Financing Subsidiary shall not, without the prior written consent of the Acquiror (not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), replace, amend, restate, supplement, modify, assign or waive any provision of the Debt Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Debt Financing Agreements (it being understood that the exercise of any “market flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter shall not be deemed a replacement, amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, assignment or waiver) to the extent such replacement, amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, assignment or waiver would (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing such that the Company and its Subsidiaries would not have sufficient cash proceeds, together with (A) cash on hand of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (B) the Investor Investment Amount, (C) the PIPE Investment Amount, (D) cash available in the Trust Account following the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting, after deducting the amount required to satisfy the Acquiror Share Redemption Amount, and (E) other cash on hand at the Acquiror or Merger Sub on the Closing Date hereunder, to permit the Company and its Subsidiaries to consummate the Refinancing and pay the Financing Amounts on the Closing Date, (ii) adversely affect the ability of the Company or the Company Debt Financing Subsidiary, as applicable, to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Agreements or (iii) would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or hinder the Closing, including by imposing additional conditions, or otherwise amending, restating, supplementing, modifying, assigning or waiving any of the existing conditions to the availability of the Debt Financing (items under clauses (i) through (iii) above, collectively, the “Restricted Debt Financing Changes”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company or the Company Debt Financing Subsidiary may replace, amend, restate, supplement, modify, assign or waive the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities (or titles with respect to such entities) that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, subject to the Restricted Debt Financing Changes (it being understood that the aggregate commitments of the lenders party to the Debt Commitment Letter prior to such replacement, amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, assignment or waiver may be reduced in the amount of such additional party’s commitments); provided, further, that the Company shall notify the Acquiror in writing of any such replacement, amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, assignment of, or waiver of any of its rights under, the Debt Commitment Letter not otherwise prohibited by the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) reasonably promptly after the time such replacement, amendment, restatement,

supplement, modification, assignment or waiver is agreed. The Company shall promptly deliver to the Acquiror copies of any replacement, amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, assignment or waiver to or under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Agreements. In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor (other than as a result of Acquiror’s or Merger Sub’s breach of any provisions of this Agreement or failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2), the Company will (x) use reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with the available portion of the Debt Financing, and together with (A) cash on hand of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (B) the Investor Investment Amount, (C) the PIPE Investment Amount, (D) cash available in the Trust Account following the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting (after deducting the amount required to satisfy the Acquiror Share Redemption Amount) and (E) other cash on hand at the Acquiror or Merger Sub on the Closing Date hereunder, to consummate the Refinancing and pay the Financing Amounts) from the same or other sources and which does not include any terms or conditions to the consummation of such alternative debt financing that are less favorable to the Company in any material respect than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (including any “market flex” provisions that are contained in the Fee Letter) and (y) promptly notify the Acquiror of such unavailability and the reason therefor. For purposes of this Agreement, upon any replacement, amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, assignment of, or waiver under, the Debt Commitment Letter (including in connection with an alternative debt financing) in accordance with this Section 8.5(b), the term “Debt Commitment Letter,” and consequently the term “Debt Financing,” shall mean such Debt Commitment Letter as so replaced, amended, restated, supplemented, modified, assigned or waived and the Debt Financing contemplated by such Debt Commitment Letter as so replaced, amended, restated, supplemented, modified, assigned or waived.

(c) From the date of the announcement of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (pursuant to any applicable public communication made in compliance with Section 11.12), until the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of the Company, the Acquiror shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries to and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any of its and their respective representatives (including accounting representatives) to, use reasonable best efforts to provide customary cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, including to:

(iv) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Company and the Debt Financing Sources to satisfy the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing to the extent the satisfaction of such conditions require the cooperation of, and is within the control of Acquiror or Merger Sub;

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 5.1 Board Powers. Except as provided by the DGCL or this Restated Certificate, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Restated Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (as amended and/or restated, the “Bylaws”), the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation and no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

Section 5.2 Number, Election and Term.

(a) Subject to the Stockholders Agreement, dated [●], 202[●], by and among, inter alia, the Corporation, Carlyle Partners V Holdings, L.P., and Twilio (as it may be amended and/or restated, the “Stockholders Agreement”), the number of directors of the Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board.

(b) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, a director shall hold office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

Section 5.3 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof and the Stockholders Agreement, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even

if less than a quorum or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

ARTICLE VIII

LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT

Section 8.1 Limitation of Director Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 8.2 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify, defend, advance expenses and hold harmless each person (as used in this Restated Certificate, “person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity) who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation, arbitration or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (each, a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, 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, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Indemnitee”), 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, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, damages, claims and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (including by making any payment directly to the applicable third parties if requested by the indemnitee); provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses (which are, for the avoidance of doubt, indemnified proceedings and expenses), the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an 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.

(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any Indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(c) Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. If the DGCL is amended after the effectiveness of this Restated Certificate 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.

(d) Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article VIII shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the [Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of the Corporation] appointed pursuant to Article of the Bylaws, and to any Vice President, Assistant Secretary, Assistant Treasurer or other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board pursuant to Article of the Bylaws, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, but not an officer thereof as described in the preceding sentence, has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Article VIII.

(e) This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees.

The Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest in a Corporate Opportunity and any expectancy that a Corporate Opportunity will be offered to the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation does not renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in any Corporate Opportunity that is offered to an officer, whether or not such individual is also a director or officer of a stockholder of the Corporation, if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in his or her capacity as an officer of the Corporation.

Section 13.2 Limitation on Business Combinations.

(b) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting stock (as defined below) of the Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced,

(c) at or subsequent to that time, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 ²⁄₃%) of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation which that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

(c) “business combination,” when used in reference to the Corporation and any interested stockholder of the Corporation, means:

(i) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (a) with the interested stockholder, or (b) with any other corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity if the merger or consolidation is caused by the interested stockholder and as a result of such merger or consolidation Section 13.2 is not applicable to the surviving entity;

(ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation, to or with the interested stockholder, whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which assets have an aggregate market value equal to ten percent (10%) or more of either the aggregate market value of all the assets of the Corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the Corporation;

(iii) any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or by any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation of any stock of the Corporation or of such subsidiary to the interested stockholder, except: (a) pursuant to the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which securities were outstanding prior to the time that the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder; (b) pursuant to a merger under Section 251(g) of the DGCL; (c) pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made, or the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which security is distributed,

(iv) any transaction involving the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series, or securities convertible into the stock of any class or series, of the Corporation or of any such subsidiary which is owned by the interested stockholder, except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments or as a result of any purchase or redemption of any shares of stock not caused, directly or indirectly, by the interested stockholder.

(v) any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits (other than those expressly permitted in subsections (i) through (iv) above) provided by or through the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary.

a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person. For the purpose of determining whether a person is an interested stockholder, the voting stock of the Corporation deemed to be outstanding shall include stock deemed to be owned by the person through application of the definition of “owner” below but shall not include any other unissued stock of the Corporation which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.

(h) “stock” means, with respect to any corporation, capital stock and, with respect to any other entity, any equity interest.

(i) “voting stock” means stock of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and, with respect to any entity that is not a corporation, any equity interest entitled to vote generally in the election of the governing body of such entity.

The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation and for the purpose of creating, defining, limiting and regulating the powers of the Corporation and its directors and stockholders:

1. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed and may be altered from time to time in the manner provided in the Bylaws, and vacancies in the Board and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled, and directors may be removed, as provided in the Bylaws.

3. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the by-laws of the Corporation may provide. 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 by-laws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE EIGHT

1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

2. Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(i) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify, defend, advance expenses and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation, arbitration or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (each, a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she

is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, 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, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), 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, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, damages, claims and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (including by making any payment directly to the applicable third parties if requested by the indemnitee); provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(i), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses (which are, for the avoidance of doubt, indemnified proceedings and expenses), the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an 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.

(ii) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(iii) The Corporation hereby agrees: (A) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., in the event any indemnitee has the right to receive indemnification from one or more sponsors, affiliates or third parties, the Corporation’s obligations to such indemnitee are primary); (B) that it shall be required to pay the full amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition as required by the terms of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, without regard to (x) any rights such indemnitee may have, or the exercise of any such rights by such indemnitee, against any other sponsors, affiliates or third parties or (y) any advance or payment made by such sponsors, affiliates or third parties on behalf of such indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such indemnitee is entitled to indemnification from the Corporation; and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases such sponsors or affiliates from any and all claims against such sponsors or affiliates for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.

(iv) Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Bylaws inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. If the DGCL is amended after the effectiveness of this Restated Certificate 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.

(v) The Board may, to the full extent permitted by law, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain, at the Corporation’s expense, insurance: (A) to indemnify the Corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents under the provisions of this Section 8.2; and (B) to indemnify or insure directors, officers, employees and agents against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation under the provisions of this Section 8.2.

(vi) This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

ARTICLE NINE

Unless otherwise waived by resolution of the Board, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except, as to each of clauses (i) through (iv), for any claim for which the Delaware Chancery Court determines there is an indispensable party not subject to its jurisdiction (and such party does not consent to such jurisdiction within ten days of such determination).

ARTICLE TEN

The Corporation expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

Subject to Article Eight, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed herein and by the laws of the State of Delaware, and all rights conferred upon stockholders or directors herein are granted subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE TWELVE

To the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the laws of the State of Delaware (including the DGCL), the Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation or its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities or specified classes or categories of business opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Corporation or one or more of its officers, directors or stockholders, other than those officers, directors or stockholders who are employees of the Corporation or one or more of the Corporation’s subsidiaries. No amendment or repeal of this Article Twelve shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any officer, director or stockholder of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such officer, director, or stockholder prior to such amendment or repeal.

2. Incidental Registrations.

(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. If, following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company determines to register its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to: (i) a Demand Registration in accordance with Section 3(a), (ii) a Registration Statement filed by the Company on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes or filed solely in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan, or (iii) any Registration Statement filed by the Company requesting the resale of Class A Common Stock by the PIPE Investors pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreement), whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will, at each such time, give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so and of such Holders’ rights under this Section 2. Upon the written request of any such Holder made within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of any such notice from the Company (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith) without prejudice to the rights of the Holders to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 3 and (ii) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company, with such differences, including any with respect to representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) beyond the earlier to occur of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date thereof and (ii) consummation of the distribution by the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. Any Holder of Registrable Securities who has elected to sell Registrable Securities in an offering pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be permitted to withdraw from such registration by written notice to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to (x) in the case of any registration involving an underwritten offering, the earlier of the anticipated filing date of the “red xxxxxxx” Prospectus, if applicable, and the anticipated pricing date of such underwritten offering, or (y) in the case of any registration not involving an underwritten offering, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration or offering.

(b) Priority in Incidental Registrations. In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2(a) that is an underwritten offering, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of such offering to permit Holders of Registrable Securities who have requested to include Registrable Securities in such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities so requested to be included on the same terms and conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering has informed the Company in writing that in its good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities that such Holders and the Company intend to include in such offering would adversely affect the success of such offering (including, without limitation, adversely affect the per share offering price), then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the good faith opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), and such Maximum Number of Securities shall be allocated as follows, unless the managing underwriter(s) requires a different allocation:

(i) first, all securities of the Company requested to be included by the Company in such registration, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), all securities of the Company requested to be included by the Investors (pro rata among Investor Groups on the basis of the percentage of Registrable Securities held by each such Investor Group (inclusive of the Deemed Carlyle Shares)) and their respective Affiliates (among such Affiliate Holders of each Investor as determined by the applicable Investor in its sole discretion), without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), all securities of the Company requested to be included by the Holders of Registrable Securities (other than the Investors and their respective Affiliates) requesting such registration pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by such Holders, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

3. Registration on Request.

(a) Request by the Demand Party. Subject to Section 3(d), following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, each Investor and its Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to require the Company to register, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the number of Registrable Securities of such Holder and its Affiliates requested to be so registered pursuant to this Agreement, in each case by delivering written notice to the Company (any such written notice, a “Demand Notice”; any

such registration, a “Demand Registration”; and any such requesting Investor and its Affiliates, a “Demanding Holder”). A Demand Notice shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof. Subject to Section 3(d), following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall file a Registration Statement as promptly as practicable, but no later than ten (10) days following receipt of such Demand Notice, and to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof.

No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph if (i) the Registration Statement relating thereto (x) does not become effective, (y) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this Section 3(a), (ii) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, injunction, or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period, (iii) more than ninety percent (90%) of the Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holder to be included in such registration are not so included pursuant to Section 3(b) or (iv) the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement, purchase agreement or similar agreement entered into in connection with the Demand Registration are not satisfied (other than as a result of a material default or breach thereunder by such Demanding Holder or its Affiliates) or otherwise waived by such Demanding Holder.

Within two (2) Business Days after receipt by the Company of a Demand Notice (other than in respect of a Block Sale) in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Follow-Up Notice”) of such Demand Notice to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company received written requests for inclusion therein within seven (7) days after such Demand Follow-Up Notice is given by the Company to such Holders.

All requests made pursuant to this Section 3(a) will specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof.

The Company shall be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date thereof or such shorter period during which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have actually been sold; provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request of the Company or an underwriter of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Priority on Demand Registration. If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter(s) advises the Holders of such securities that in its good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering (including, without limitation, securities proposed to be included by other Holders of securities entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights) would adversely affect

the success of such offering (including, without limitation, adversely affect the per share offering price), then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the Maximum Number of Securities, and such Maximum Number of Securities shall be allocated as follows, unless the underwriters require a different allocation:

(i) first, to the Demanding Holder and the other Investors (pro rata as between the Investor Groups on the basis of the percentage of Registrable Securities held by each such Investor Group (inclusive of the Deemed Carlyle Shares)) and their respective Affiliates (among such Affiliate Holders of each Investor as determined by the applicable Investor in its sole discretion), until with respect to each such Holder, all Registrable Securities requested for registration by such Holders have been included in such registration, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), among the Holders of Registrable Securities (other than the Investors and their respective Affiliates) requesting such registration pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights pro rata on the basis of the percentage of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder relative to the number of Registrable Securities owned by all such Holders, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration was requested by the Company, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(c) Cancellation of a Demand Registration. Each Demanding Holder and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are to be registered in a particular offering pursuant to this Section 3 shall have the right, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, to notify the Company that it or they, as the case may be, have determined that the Registration Statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement. Any Holder of Registrable Securities who has elected to sell Registrable Securities in a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3 (including the Demanding Holder) shall be permitted to withdraw from such registration by written notice to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to (i) in the case of a Demand Registration not involving an underwritten offering, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, or (ii) in the case of any Demand Registration involving an underwritten offering, the earlier of the anticipated filing of the “red xxxxxxx” Prospectus, if applicable, and the anticipated pricing date of such underwritten offering.

(d) Limitations on Demand Registrations. In addition to the rights set forth in Section 3(f) and Section 3(g) hereof, following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period: (i) Carlyle together with its Affiliates shall be entitled to three (3) Demand Registrations to be effectuated on a Form S-1 Registration Statement; (ii) Twilio together with its Affiliates shall be entitled to two (2) Demand Registrations to be effectuated on a Form S-1 Registration Statement; and (iii) the Sponsor together with its Affiliates shall be entitled to one (1) Demand Registration to be effectuated on a Form S-1 Registration Statement.

(e) Postponements in Requested Registrations. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement, including a Shelf Registration Statement, with respect to a Demand Registration would require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Board (after consultation with external legal counsel) (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement and (iii) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or on the Company’s ability to effect a bona fide material proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction (collectively, “Suspension Events”), and the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or any other senior executive officer of the Company stating such, then the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders participating in such registration, delay the filing or initial effectiveness (but not the preparation) of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall be permitted to do so once in any six (6)-month period for a period not to exceed the earlier of (x) the termination of any such Suspension Event and (y) forty-five (45) days following notice of any such Suspension Event, and provided, further, that the Company may not postpone or suspend for periods exceeding, in the aggregate, ninety (90) days during any twelve (12)-month period. In the event that the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, such Holders agree to suspend, promptly upon receipt of the notice referred to above, the use of any Prospectus relating to such registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not deliver a suspension notice with respect to a suspension period unless all of the Company’s employees, officers and directors who are subject to the Company’s Policy Concerning Securities Trading and Disclosure of Confidential Information, and who are prohibited by the terms thereof from effecting any public sales of securities of the Company beneficially owned by them, are so prohibited for the duration of such suspension period. If the Company so postpones the filing of a Prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Demanding Holder shall be entitled to withdraw its request for a Demand Registration and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration request shall not count for the purposes of the limitations set forth in Section 3(d). The Company shall promptly give the Holders requesting registration thereof pursuant to this Section 3 written notice of any postponement made in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(f) Short-Form and Shelf Registrations.

(i) At all times following the Closing Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify and remain qualified for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration (a “Short-Form Registration”). Upon the written request of a Demanding Holder, the Company shall as promptly as practicable file a Registration Statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis of, the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or, if the Company is ineligible to use that form, Form S-1), pursuant to Rule 415 or otherwise (a “Shelf Registration Statement”). No such Short-Form Registration or Shelf Registration

Statement shall count as a Demand Registration for purposes of calculating how many Demand Registrations an Investor and its Affiliates have initiated pursuant Section 3(d).

(ii) Upon filing any Short-Form Registration or Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective with the SEC as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, and to maintain such effectiveness at all times and, if applicable, to re-file such Short-Form Registration or Shelf Registration Statement upon its expiration, and to cooperate in any shelf take-down, whether or not underwritten, by amending or supplementing any Prospectus related to such Short-Form Registration or Shelf Registration Statement as may be reasonably requested by an Investor and its Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities included under such Short-Form Registration or Shelf Registration Statement or as otherwise required, until such time as all Registrable Securities that could be sold in such Short-Form Registration or Shelf Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities. To the extent that the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall file a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 not later than forty-five (45) days after the date of such ineligibility and use its reasonable best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable.

(iii) To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405) (a “WKSI”) at the time any Demand Notice for a Short-Form Registration is submitted to the Company and such Demand Notice requests that the Company file a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) on Form S-3 (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”) in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, which covers the number or class of Registrable Securities which are requested to be registered. If registering a number of Registrable Securities, the Company shall pay the registration fee for all Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement at the time of filing of the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and shall not elect to pay any portion of the registration fee on a deferred basis. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not to become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405)) during the period during which any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is effective. If at any time following the filing of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to post-effectively amend the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 or file a new Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 or, if such form is not available, Form S-1, have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and keep such Registration Statement effective during the period during which such Short-Form Registration is required to be kept effective in accordance with Section 3(f)(ii). To the extent that the Company is eligible to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and a Demanding Holder notifies the Company that it wishes to engage in a Block Sale off such an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and

the Company does not have an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement related to the Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement within three (3) days of such notification by such Holder.

(g) Shelf Take-Downs. At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities is effective, if a Demanding Holder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an underwritten or non-underwritten offering of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Offering”), then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus contained therein as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be offered and sold pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other Holders pursuant to Section 3(g)(i)). Each Investor and its Affiliates shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of shelf take-downs to effect a Shelf Offering, if available to the Company, with respect to the Registrable Securities held by such requesting Investor and its Affiliates in addition to the other registration rights provided in Section 2 and this Section 3. In connection with any Shelf Offering:

(i) the Company shall also promptly deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Holders with Registrable Securities included on such Shelf Registration Statement and permit each such Holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Shelf Offering if such Holder notifies the proposing Holder and the Company within two (2) Business Days after distribution or dissemination (including via e-mail, if available) of the Take-Down Notice to such Holder; and

(ii) in the event that the managing underwriter advises such requesting Holder and the Company that in its good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering would adversely affect the success of such offering (including, without limitation, adversely affect the per share offering price), then the managing underwriter may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such take-down offering in the same manner as described in Section 3(b) with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in a Demand Registration.

Without limiting a Holder’s rights under this Section 3(g), if a Holder wishes to engage in a Block Sale off a Shelf Registration Statement or Automatic Shelf Registration Statement in a sale that does not involve a marketed Shelf Offering, then the Company shall as expeditiously as possible cooperate with such Holder to facilitate such Block Sale and shall not be required to notify the other Holders of such Block Sale.

(h) Notice in Block Sales. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2 and Section 3(d) hereof), if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in a Block Sale (including a Block Sale off a Shelf Registration Statement or an effective

Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, or in connection with the registration of an Investor’s Registrable Securities under an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for purposes of effectuating a Block Sale), then (i) the Demanding Holder shall provide the non-demanding Investors written notice of such Block Sale (if underwritten) at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to such Block Sale and (ii) no other Holder shall be entitled to receive any notice of or have its Registrable Securities included in such Block Sale or its registration.

(i) Selection of Underwriters. If any Investor and its Affiliates intends that the Registrable Securities requested by such Holder to be covered by a Demand Registration shall be distributed by means of an underwritten offering, such Demanding Holder shall so advise the Company as a part of the Demand Notice, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Follow-Up Notice sent by the Company to the other Holders with respect to such Demand Registration. In such event, the lead underwriter to administer the offering shall be chosen by the Demanding Holder. If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise agreed by the Demanding Holder) and each such Holder will (together with the Company and the other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s)); provided that (i) no Holder shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested the Company to include in any registration and (ii) if any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter(s) and, in connection with an underwritten registration pursuant to this Section 3, the Demanding Holder, provided, further that no such Person (other than the Company) shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than those related to title and ownership of, and power and authority to transfer, shares and as to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company or the managing underwriter(s) by such Person pertaining exclusively to such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be required to agree to any indemnification obligations on the part of such Holder that are greater than its obligations pursuant to Section 6.

4. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 2 and Section 3, the Company shall effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in the sale of such Registrable Securities and shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable:

(a) prepare and file, in each case as promptly as practicable, with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form as shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof or by the Company in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and, if such Registration Statement is not automatically effective upon filing, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable and to remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that

before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including free writing prospectuses under Rule 433 (each a “Free Writing Prospectus”)) and, to the extent reasonably practicable, documents that would be incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Notice (other than a Shelf Registration Statement), the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits thereto), which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company will include comments to any Registration Statement, any Prospectus included therein and any amendments or supplements thereto from Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, as reasonably requested on a timely basis. The Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto (including such documents that, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein and including Free Writing Prospectuses) with respect to a Demand Registration to which the Demanding Holder or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (or their counsel) or the managing underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object, in writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company, such filing is necessary to comply with applicable law;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith and such Free Writing Prospectuses and Exchange Act reports as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement, and cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act, in each case, until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;

(c) notify each selling Holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof (i) when a Prospectus (including any supplement or post-effective amendment) or any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or

threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if at any time the Company has reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 4(n) below cease to be true and correct, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of such Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (vi) of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, as then in effect, untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (which notice shall notify the selling Holders only of the occurrence of such an event and shall provide no additional information regarding such event to the extent such information would constitute material non-public information);

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest date reasonably practical;

(e) if requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any, a Holder making a Demand Notice with respect to such offering or the Holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter(s), if any, or such Holder or Holders, as the case may be, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution of such securities set forth in the Registration Statement and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 4(e) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;

(f) deliver to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto (including any Free Writing Prospectus) as such Persons may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 4, hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto;

(g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any seller or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to use its reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such Holders of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(g), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so subject or (iii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith);

(h) cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends unless required under applicable law) representing Registrable Securities to be sold, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter(s), if any, or Holders may request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities in a firm commitment public offering, but in any other such sale, within ten (10) Business Days prior to having to issue the securities;

(i) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States as may be necessary in light of the business or operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the managing underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holder’s business, in which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and any related Prospectus and the granting of such approvals, as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof;

(j) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(d)(vi) above, promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make

the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(k) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities, provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities;

(l) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities from and after the effective date of such Registration Statement. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly after the effective date of the Registration Statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with such transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without any such legend upon sale by the Holder or the underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any, of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement;

(m) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange if shares of the particular class of Registrable Securities are at that time listed on such exchange, prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement;

(n) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings) and take all such other customary actions reasonably requested by a Demanding Holder with respect to such offering or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any) to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an underwritten registration, (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of such Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when reasonably requested, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the selling Holders of such Registrable Securities opinions of outside counsel (and/or internal counsel if acceptable to the managing underwriter(s)) to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter(s), if any, and counsels to the selling Holders of the Registrable Securities), addressed to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities and each of the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel and underwriters, (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any Subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement) which has certified the financial statements included in such Registration Statement,

addressed to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities (unless such accountants shall be prohibited from so addressing such letters by applicable standards of the accounting profession) and each of the underwriters, if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings, (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures that are customary for underwriting agreements in connection with underwritten offerings except as otherwise agreed by the Parties thereto and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by a Demanding Holder with respect to such offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, its or their counsel, as the case may be, or the managing underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4(n)(i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting or similar agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder;

(o) upon reasonable notice, make available for inspection by a representative of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriters participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by such selling Holders or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”) at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any information and Records that are not generally publicly available at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by the Inspectors unless (i) disclosure of such information or Records is required by court or administrative order, (ii) disclosure of such information or Records, in the opinion of counsel to such Inspector, is required by law or applicable legal process, (iii) such information or Records become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Inspector, (iv) such information or Records becomes available to such Inspector on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or (v) such information or Records is independently developed by such Inspector. In the case of a proposed disclosure pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, such Inspector shall be required to give the Company written notice of the proposed disclosure prior to such disclosure and, if requested by the Company, assist the Company in seeking to prevent or limit the proposed disclosure;

(p) direct its officers to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (including, without limitation, participation in such number of “road shows” as the underwriter(s) reasonably request); provided that the selling Holders shall take into account the reasonable business requirements of the Company in determining the scheduling and duration of any road show;

(q) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the FINRA;

(r) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

(s) take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act; provided, that, to the extent that any prohibition is applicable to the Company, the Company will take all reasonable action to make such prohibition inapplicable; and

(t) cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities subject to the Registration Statement and with the underwriter(s) or agent participating in the distribution, if any, to facilitate any Charitable Gifting Event and to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to permit any such recipient Charitable Organization to sell in the public offering if it so elects.

The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company in writing such information required in connection with such registration regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any Registration Statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus used in connection therewith, that refers to any Holder covered thereby by name, or otherwise identifies such Holder as the holder of any securities of the Company, without the consent of such Holder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law, rule or regulation, in which case the Company shall provide prompt written notice to such Holders prior to the filing of such amendment to any Registration Statement or amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus.

If the Company files any Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.

Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, if such Holder has Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(d)(ii), 4(d)(iii), 4(d)(iv), 4(d)(v) and 4(d)(vi) hereof, such Holder will promptly discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(j) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus; provided, however, that the time periods under Section 2 or Section 3, as applicable, with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of a Registration Statement must be maintained shall automatically be extended by the amount of time the Holder is required to discontinue disposition of such securities.

Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, to the extent that any pro rata or other allocation or reduction of Registrable Securities is required pursuant to Section 2(b), 3(b), 3(e) or any other section herein, (i) all shares transferred by a Holder of Registrable Securities to a Charitable Organization made in connection with the underwritten offering for which such pro rata or other allocation is required shall be included in the number of Registrable Securities deemed to be held by such Holder of Registrable Securities (or deemed to be included in such Holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities) for purposes of calculating such Holder’s pro rata allocation or reduction in such underwritten offering and (ii) the number of Registrable Securities that a Holder is otherwise entitled to include in such underwritten offering shall be reduced by the number of shares Transferred by such Holder to a Charitable Organization made in connection with such underwritten offering.

5. Hedging Transactions. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Agreement relating to the registration, offer and sale of Registrable Securities apply also to (i) any transaction which Transfers some or all of the economic risk of ownership of Registrable Securities, including any forward contract, equity swap, put or call, put or call equivalent position, collar, margin loan, sale of exchangeable security or similar transaction (including the registration, offer and sale under the Securities Act of Registrable Securities pledged to the counterparty to such transaction or of securities of the same class as the underlying Registrable Securities by the counterparty to such transaction in connection therewith), and that the counterparty to such transaction shall be selected in the sole discretion of the Holders and (ii) any derivative transactions in which a broker-dealer, other financial institution or unaffiliated Person may sell Registrable Securities covered by any Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus supplement including short sale transactions using Registrable Securities pledged by a Holder or borrowed from the Holder or others and Registrable Securities loaned, pledged or hypothecated to any such party. The Prospectus shall permit, in connection with derivative transactions, a broker-dealer, other financial institution or third party to sell shares of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions.

6. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by a Registration Statement or Prospectus, the

officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) each such Holder and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter (each such Person, a “Covered Person”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such Person in connection with any investigation or proceeding), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction in connection with the related offering of Registrable Securities, and will reimburse each such Covered Person for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission by such Covered Person relating to such Covered Person or its Affiliates (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Covered Person with respect to such Covered Person for use therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. As a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed in accordance with Section 4 hereof, the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such Registrable Securities to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, all other prospective sellers from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

and will reimburse the Company, such directors, controlling persons and prospective sellers for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder with respect to such Holder for inclusion in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be limited to the net proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts (but before any taxes and expenses which may be payable by such Holder) received by such selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to, unless in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties, or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (x) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect

of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder or (y) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on the Indemnified Party or adversely affects such Indemnified Party other than as a result of financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission.

The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a selling Holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 6(b) by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

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 more favorable to the Holders than the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(e) Deemed Underwriter. To the extent that any of the Holders is, or would be expected to be, deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities pursuant to any SEC comments or policies or any court of law or otherwise, the Company agrees that (i) the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 shall be applicable to the benefit of such Holder in its role as deemed underwriter in addition to its capacity as a Holder (so long as the amount for which any other Holder is or becomes responsible does not exceed the amount for which such Holder would be responsible if the Holder were not deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities) and (ii) such Holder and its representatives shall be entitled to conduct the due diligence which would normally be conducted in connection with an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act, including receipt of customary opinions and comfort letters.

(f) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding provisions of this Section 6 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

(g) Non-Exclusivity. The obligations of the Parties under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which any Party may otherwise have to any other Party, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the ancillary agreements thereto.

(h) Primacy of Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that certain of the Investors have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Investors are primary and any obligation of the Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same Losses incurred by any of the Investors are secondary to any such obligation of the Company), (ii) it shall be liable for the full amount of all Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the articles and other organizational documents of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and the relevant Investor), without regard to any rights any Investor may have against the Indemnitors, and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Indemnitors from any and all claims (x) against the Indemnitors for contribution, indemnification, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof and (y) that any Investor must seek indemnification from any Indemnitor before the Company must perform its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. No advancement or payment by the Indemnitors on behalf of any Investor with respect to any claim for which such Investor has sought indemnification from the Company hereunder shall affect the foregoing. The Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which any Investor would have had against the Company if the Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of such Investor. The Company and the Investors agree that the Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.

(i) Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the Transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any Indemnified Party for contribution to such Indemnified Party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

7. Registration Expenses. All reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company including, without limitation, (a) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses with respect to (i) filings required to be made with the SEC, all applicable securities exchanges and/or FINRA and (ii) compliance with securities or blue sky laws, including, without limitation,

any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4(g))), (b) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing Prospectuses if the printing of Prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any, or by a Holder making a Demand Notice with respect to such offering or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Company, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (e) expenses of the Company incurred in connection with any road show, (f) fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accounting firms referred to in Section 4(n) hereof (including, without limitation, the expenses of any “cold comfort” letters required by this Agreement) and any other persons, including special experts retained by the Company and (g) fees and disbursements of separate counsel for each Investor and its Affiliates if any of them is participating in the offering and, if neither of the Investors is participating in the offering, one counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities whose shares are included in a Registration Statement (which counsel shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective. In addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and rating agency fees and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company.

The Company shall not be required to pay (i) any underwriter’s fees (including discounts, commissions or fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals) relating to the distribution of the Registrable Securities (other than with respect to Registrable Securities sold by the Company), or (ii) any other expenses of the Holders of Registrable Securities not specifically required to be paid by the Company pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 7.

8. Rule 144. After the Closing Date, the Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Investor or its Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities, make publicly available such information so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144), and it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities (or, if the Company is not required to file reports as provided above, any Investor or its Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities) may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

9. Certain Additional Agreements. If any Registration Statement or comparable statement under state blue sky laws refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the Holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (a) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (b) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not in the judgment of the Company required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute or any state blue sky or securities law then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination. The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) its termination by the written agreement of all Parties or their respective successors in interest, (ii) with respect to a Holder, the date on which all securities held by such Holder have ceased to be Registrable Securities, (iii) with respect to the Company, the date on which all securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities and (iv) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. In addition, at any time during the term of this Agreement, any Holder shall be entitled to suspend its rights to be notified of, or participate in, any transaction hereunder or otherwise receive any non-public information regarding the Company that could reasonably be expected to be material by delivering written notice to the Company (provided, that, at any time during the term of this Agreement, such Holder may revoke such suspension by providing the Company with written notice of revocation and thereafter (x) all such rights shall be reinstated as of the date of delivery of written notice of revocation and (y) the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure such Holder is able to participate in any transaction hereunder in which such Holder otherwise would have been entitled to participate if such rights had not been suspended). Nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for the breach of any of the agreements set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Holdback Agreement. Other than as otherwise provided herein, in consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder that (i) beneficially owns five percent (5%) or more of the Class A Common Stock [and Class C Common Stock, taken together,] then outstanding or (ii) is an officer or director of PubCo agrees, in connection with any registration (whether or not such Holder is participating in such registration), upon the request of the Company and the underwriter(s) managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to such registration, under the terms of a customary holdback or lock-up agreement, not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration) any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144, or otherwise dispose of, any Registrable Securities or any other securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, during the Holdback Period.

If any registration pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement shall be in connection with any underwritten public offering, the Company will not effect any sale or distribution of any shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock) (other than a Registration Statement (i) on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any successor forms promulgated for similar purposes, (ii) filed in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan or (iii) filed by the Company requesting the resale of Class A Common Stock by the PIPE Investors pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreement) for its own account, during the Holdback Period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10(b), in connection with an underwritten offering that is a Block Sale, (i) no Holder shall be subject to a lock-up agreement other than, if requested by the managing underwriter for such offering, a Holder that is (x) participating in such Block Sale or (y) a Holder that beneficially owns five percent (5%) or more of the Class A Common Stock [and Class C Common Stock, taken together,] then outstanding and (ii) such Holdback Period shall not exceed sixty (60) days in connection with any Block Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10(b), no Holder shall be required to be subject to a lock-up agreement in connection with an underwritten offering that is a Block Sale in which such Holder does not participate (a “Skipped Block Sale”), if during the preceding twelve (12)-month period, such Holder has been subject to a lock-up agreement in connection with Skipped Block Sales either (A) twice or (B) for an aggregate of at least ninety (90) days.

(c) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if any such amendment, action or omission to act, has received the written consent of the Company or the Company, as the case may be, and each Investor and its Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities, or if no such Holders remain, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided that this Agreement may not be amended in a manner that would, by its terms, adversely affect the rights or obligations of any Investor or its Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities without the consent of such Investor or its Affiliates. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under applicable law shall operate as a waiver of such rights and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise

thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable law. Any Holder may waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself for any purpose. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the Holder granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.

(d) Successors, Assigns and Transferees. Except as set forth in this Section 10(d), this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company and the other Parties may not be assigned or delegated by any Party, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of each other Party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns who agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment shall have been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of Holders shall also be for the benefit of and enforceable by any subsequent Holder of any Registrable Securities, subject to the provisions contained herein. The rights of a Holder hereunder may be assigned (but only with all related obligations set forth below) in connection with a Transfer of Registrable Securities effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a Permitted Transferee of that Holder. Without prejudice to any other or similar conditions imposed hereunder with respect to such Transfer, no assignment permitted under the terms of this Section 10(d) will be effective unless and until the Permitted Transferee to which the assignment is being made, if not a Holder, has delivered to the Company the executed Joinder Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto agreeing to be bound by, and be party to, this Agreement. A Permitted Transferee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Section 10(d) may not again Transfer those rights to any other Permitted Transferee, other than as provided in this Section 10(d). The Company may assign this Agreement at any time in connection with a sale or acquisition of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or similar transaction, without the consent of the Holders; provided, that the successor or acquiring Person agrees in writing to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 10(d) shall be null and void.

(e) Notices. All notices and other communications among the Parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iii) when sent by email, unless the sender of such electronic mail receives a non-delivery message (but not other automated replies, such as an out-of-office notification), addressed as follows:

Any written amendment or waiver to this Agreement that receives the vote or consent of the Board, the Carlyle Investor and Twilio, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 6.5 need not be signed by all Stockholders, but shall be effective in accordance with its terms and shall be binding upon all Stockholders; provided that this Agreement may not be amended in any manner adversely affecting the rights or obligations of any Stockholder (including M3-Brigade) which does not adversely affect the rights or obligations of all similarly situated Stockholders in a substantially similar manner without the consent of such Stockholder; provided, further that no modification, amendment or waiver may increase the obligations or liabilities (x) of Twilio or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Twilio or (y) of the Carlyle Investor or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of the Carlyle Investor.

reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with their terms and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

SECTION 6.10. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Wholesale Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and thereby and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and representations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party and its successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.11. Restrictions on Other Agreements. Following the date hereof, no Stockholder shall enter into or agree to be bound by any stockholder agreements or arrangements of any kind with any Person with respect to any Equity Securities (other than the Transaction Agreements), to the extent that such agreement or arrangement would conflict with or violate any provision or term of this Agreement or otherwise be intended to circumvent the provisions set forth herein, except pursuant to the agreements specifically contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Framework Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not (and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding that violates or conflicts with any provision of this Agreement or impedes or prevents the Company’s ability to fulfill and comply with its obligations, or the Stockholders’ ability to utilize their rights, set forth herein.

SECTION 6.12. Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by Law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

SECTION 6.13. Governing Law, Etc.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws, to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and

would permit or require the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (x) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and the federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (y) (i) agrees to bring all claims under any theory of liability in respect of such action or proceeding exclusively in any such court and (ii) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party hereto agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 6.8. Nothing in this Section 6.13, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each party hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (x) arising under this Agreement or (y) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties to this Agreement may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

SECTION 6.14. Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event that any provision of this Agreement (including the provisions of Article IV) is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breached, so that, in addition to any other remedy that a party may have under law or equity, a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement (including the provisions of Article IV) and the terms and provisions hereof. Each party acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would be inadequate in the event of any such failure to perform or breach and waives any equitable defense to the granting of specific performance or other injunctive relief available to such party. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement (including the provisions of Article IV) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Article IV) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

SECTION 6.15. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 6.16. No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Company and each Stockholder covenant, agree and acknowledge that no recourse under this Agreement shall be had against any Covered Person (other than any such Covered Person serving as a Director and then solely to the extent in his or her capacity as such), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Covered Person (other than any such Covered Person serving as a Director and then solely to the extent in his or her capacity as such) for any obligation of any Stockholder under this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

SECTION 6.17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages, or via electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx), shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

A series of preferred stock of the Company titled the “Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) is hereby designated and created out of the authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company. The par value of the Convertible Preferred Stock is $[0.0001] per share.

(b) Number of Authorized Shares. The total authorized number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock is [•]; provided, however, that, by resolution of the Board of Directors, the total number of authorized shares of Convertible Preferred Stock may hereafter be reduced to a number that is not less than the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(i) The Convertible Preferred Stock will be issued in the form of one or more permanent global shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in definitive, fully registered form eligible for book-entry settlement and bearing the Global Shares Legend (each, a “Global Convertible Preferred Share”). The Global Convertible Preferred Shares and any Certificates representing Convertible Preferred Stock will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Certificate of Designations. The Global Convertible Preferred Shares may bear notations, legends or endorsements required by Law (including stock exchange rule) or the Depositary. The Global Convertible Preferred Shares will be deposited on behalf of the Holders represented thereby with the Registrar, at its New York office as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and countersigned and registered by the Registrar as hereinafter provided.⁸

⁸	NTD: For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall be required to issue the Convertible Preferred Stock through DTC. The Company shall assign CUSIP/ISIN numbers to such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

- 15 -

(ii) The aggregate number of shares represented by each Global Convertible Preferred Share may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar and the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided. At such time as all interests in shares represented by a Global Convertible Preferred Share have been canceled, repurchased or transferred, such Global Convertible Preferred Share shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an officer of the Company.

(iii) This Section 3(c)(iii) shall apply only to a Global Convertible Preferred Share deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. The Company will execute and the Registrar will, in accordance with this Section 3(c)(iii) countersign and deliver any Global Convertible Preferred Shares that (A) will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. or other nominee of the Depositary and (B) will be delivered by the Registrar to Cede & Co. or pursuant to instructions received from Cede & Co. or held by the Registrar as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to an agreement between the Depositary and the Registrar. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) will have no rights under this Certificate of Designations with respect to any Global Convertible Preferred Share held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Registrar as the custodian of the Depositary, or under such Global Convertible Preferred Share, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Registrar and any agent of the Company or the Registrar as the absolute owner of such Global Convertible Preferred Share for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Registrar or any agent of the Company or the Registrar from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary, or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Convertible Preferred Share. The Holder of the Global Convertible Preferred Shares may grant proxies or otherwise authorize any Person to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take pursuant to the Global Convertible Preferred Shares, this Certificate of Designations or the Certificate of Incorporation.

(iv) Owners of beneficial interests in Global Convertible Preferred Shares will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, unless (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Convertible Preferred Shares and the Company does not appoint a qualified replacement for the Depositary within ninety (90) days or (2) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and the Company does not appoint a qualified replacement for the Depositary within ninety (90)

- 16 -

days. In any such case, the Global Convertible Preferred Shares will be exchanged in whole for definitive stock certificates that are not issued in global form, with the same terms and of an equal aggregate Liquidation Preference, and such definitive stock certificates will be registered in the name or names of the Person or Persons specified by the Depositary in a written instrument to the Registrar.

(d) Signature; Dating. Two officers of the Company permitted by applicable Law shall sign each Global Convertible Preferred Share for the Company, in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable Law, by manual or facsimile signature. If an officer of the Company whose signature is on a Global Convertible Preferred Share no longer holds that office at the time the Registrar countersigned such Global Convertible Preferred Share, such Global Convertible Preferred Share will be valid nevertheless. A Global Convertible Preferred Share will not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually countersigns such Global Convertible Preferred Share. Each Global Convertible Preferred Share will be dated the date of its countersignature. The foregoing paragraph will likewise apply to any Certificate representing Convertible Preferred Stock.

(e) Denominations; Registration Numbers. The Convertible Preferred Stock will be issued only in whole numbers of shares. Each Certificate representing any Convertible Preferred Stock will bear a unique registration number that is not affixed to any other Certificate representing any other outstanding share of Convertible Preferred Stock.

(f) Paying Agent and Conversion Agent; Method of Payment; Delay When Payment Date Is Not a Business Day.

(i) Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company will maintain in the United States (1) an office or agency where Convertible Preferred Stock may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and (2) an office or agency where, in accordance with the terms hereof, Convertible Preferred Stock may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”). The Transfer Agent may act as Paying Agent and Conversion Agent, unless another Paying Agent or Conversion Agent is appointed by the Company. The Company may appoint the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent and may appoint one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents in such other locations as it will determine. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent without prior notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Registrar of the name and address of any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent appointed by the Company. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Registrar will act as such or the Company or any of its Affiliates shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent.

(ii) Method of Payment. Subject to Section 5(a)(ii), the Company will pay all cash amounts due on any Convertible Preferred Stock by check issued in the name of the Holder thereof; provided, however, that if such Holder has delivered to the Company, no later than the time set forth in the next sentence, a written request to receive payment by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, then the Company will

- 17 -

pay all such cash amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account. To be timely, such written request must be delivered no later than the Close of Business on the following date: (1) with respect to the payment of any declared cash Dividend due on a Dividend Payment Date for the Convertible Preferred Stock, the related Record Date; and (2) with respect to any other payment, the date that is ten (10) Business Days immediately before the date such payment is due.

(iii) Delay of Payment When Payment Date Is Not a Business Day. If the due date for a payment on any Convertible Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Designations is not a Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, such payment may be made on the immediately following Business Day and no interest, dividend or other amount will accrue or accumulate on such payment as a result of the related delay. Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a day on which the applicable place of payment is authorized or required by applicable Law to close or be closed will be deemed not to be a “Business Day.”

(g) Transfer Agent; Register. The duly appointed transfer agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock will be [•] (the “Transfer Agent”). The Company may, in its sole discretion, remove the Transfer Agent in accordance with the agreement between the Company and the Transfer Agent; provided, that the Company will appoint a successor transfer agent who will accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal. The initial Transfer Agent will also act as registrar (the “Registrar”) and will keep a record (the “Register”) of the names and addresses of the Holders, the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase and conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Transfer Agent may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly. The Company will promptly provide a copy of the Register to any Holder upon its request.

(h) Legends.

(i) Restricted Stock Legend.

(1) Each Certificate representing any share of Convertible Preferred Stock that is a Transfer-Restricted Security will bear the Restricted Stock Legend.

(2) If any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is issued in exchange for, in substitution of, or to effect a partial conversion of, any other share(s) of Convertible Preferred Stock (such other share(s) being referred to as the “old share(s)” for purposes of this Section 3(h)(i)(2)), then the Certificate representing such share will bear the Restricted Stock Legend if the Certificate representing such old share(s) bore the Restricted Stock Legend at the time of such exchange or substitution, or on the related Conversion Date with respect to such conversion, as applicable; provided, however, that the Certificate representing such share need not bear the Restricted Stock Legend if such share does not constitute a Transfer-Restricted Security immediately after such exchange or substitution, or as of such Conversion Date, as applicable.

- 18 -

(ii) Other Legends. The Certificate representing any Convertible Preferred Stock may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with this Certificate of Designations, as may be required by applicable Law (including any applicable rule of any securities exchange or automated quotation system) or as may be otherwise reasonably determined by the Company to be appropriate.

(iii) Acknowledgment and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Certificate bearing any legend required by this Section 3(h) will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgment of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.

(iv) Legends on Conversion Shares. Each Conversion Share will bear a legend substantially similar to the Restricted Stock Legend if the Convertible Preferred Stock upon the conversion of which such Conversion Share was issued was (or would have been had it not been converted) a Transfer-Restricted Security at the time such Conversion Share was issued, subject to changes as reasonably determined by the Company to be appropriate (it being understood that such Conversion Share need not bear such a legend if the Company determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Conversion Share need not bear such a legend).

(v) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(h), a share of Convertible Preferred Stock and a Conversion Share need not bear a legend pursuant to this Section 3(h) if such share is issued in an uncertificated form that does not permit affixing legends thereto; provided, that the Company takes measures (including the assignment thereto of a “restricted” CUSIP number) that it reasonably deems appropriate to enforce the transfer restrictions referred to in such legend.

(i) Transfers and Exchanges; Transfer Taxes; Certain Transfer Restrictions.

(i) Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) Generally. Subject to this Section 3(i), Convertible Preferred Stock may be transferred or exchanged from time to time, and the Company will cause each such transfer or exchange to be recorded in the Register.

(2) No Service Charges; Transfer Taxes. The Company will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer or exchange of any Convertible Preferred Stock, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty (“Transfer Taxes”) that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Convertible Preferred Stock and may require that no such transfer or exchange will be made unless and until the Person making such transfer or exchange has paid such Transfer Taxes to the Company or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

- 19 -

(3) No Transfers or Exchanges of Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, all transfers or exchanges of Convertible Preferred Stock must be in an amount representing a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and no fractional share of Convertible Preferred Stock may be transferred or exchanged.

(4) Legends. Each Certificate representing any share of Convertible Preferred Stock that is issued upon transfer of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock, or in exchange of another Certificate, will bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(h).

(5) Settlement of Transfers and Exchanges. Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Certificate of Designations to effect a transfer or exchange of any Convertible Preferred Stock as well as the delivery of all documentation reasonably required by the Transfer Agent or the Company in order to effect any transfer or exchange, the Company will cause such transfer or exchange to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the date of such satisfaction.

(ii) Transfers of Shares Subject to Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, the Company will not be required to register the transfer of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion.

(j) Exchange and Cancellation of Convertible Preferred Stock to Be Converted.

(i) Partial Conversions or Repurchases of Certificates. If only a portion of a Holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Certificate (such Certificate being referred to as the “old Certificate” for purposes of this Section 3(j)(i)) is to be converted pursuant to Section 12, then, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Certificate is surrendered for such conversion the Company will cause such Certificate to be exchanged for (1) one or more Certificates that each represent a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such old Certificate that are not to be so converted, and deliver such Certificate(s) to such Holder; and (2) a Certificate representing a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such old Certificate that are to be so converted which shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted, pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations.

(ii) Cancellation of Convertible Preferred Stock that Is Converted. If a Holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Certificate (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been exchanged pursuant to Section 3(j)(i)) (such Certificate being referred to as the “old Certificate” for purposes of this Section 3(j)(ii)) is to be converted pursuant to Section 11, then, promptly after the time such Certificate is surrendered for such conversion (A) such Certificate will be cancelled pursuant to Section 3(m); and (B) in the case of a partial conversion, the Company will issue, execute and deliver to such Holder, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign one or more Certificates that (x) each

- 20 -

represent a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such old Certificate that are not to be so converted; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(h).

(k) Status of Retired Shares. Upon any share of Convertible Preferred Stock ceasing to be outstanding, such share will be deemed to be retired and to resume the status of an authorized and unissued share of preferred stock of the Company, and such share cannot thereafter be reissued as Convertible Preferred Stock.

(l) Replacement Certificates. If a Holder of any Convertible Preferred Stock claims that the Certificate(s) representing such Convertible Preferred Stock have been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(c), a replacement Certificate representing such Convertible Preferred Stock upon surrender to the Company or the Transfer Agent of such mutilated Certificate, or upon delivery to the Company or the Transfer Agent of evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking reasonably satisfactory to the Transfer Agent and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Certificate representing any Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company and the Transfer Agent may require the Holder thereof to provide such security or indemnity that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent to protect the Company and the Transfer Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Certificate is replaced.

(m) Cancellation. The Company may at any time deliver Convertible Preferred Stock to the Transfer Agent for cancellation. The Company will cause the Transfer Agent to promptly cancel all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary procedures.

(n) Shares Held by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 3(o), in determining whether the Holders of the required number of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, shares of Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will be deemed not to be outstanding.

(o) Outstanding Shares.

(i) Generally. The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that, at such time, have been duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the Transfer Agent, excluding those shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that have theretofore been (1) cancelled by the Transfer Agent or delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation in accordance with Section 3(m) (2) paid in full upon their conversion in accordance with this Certificate of Designations or (3) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3(o).

- 21 -

(ii) Replaced Shares. If any Certificate representing any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is replaced pursuant to Section 3(l), then such share will cease to be outstanding at the time of such replacement, unless the Transfer Agent and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such share is held by a “bona fide purchaser” under applicable law.

(iii) Shares to Be Converted. If any Convertible Preferred Stock is to be converted, then, at the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion (unless there occurs a default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Section 12 upon such conversion): (1) such Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to cease to be outstanding (without limiting the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5(c)); (2) Regular Dividends will cease to accumulate on such Convertible Preferred Stock from and after such Conversion Date; and (3) the rights of the Holders of such Convertible Preferred Stock, as such, will terminate with respect to such Convertible Preferred Stock, other than the right to receive such Conversion Consideration as provided in Section 12 (and, if applicable, declared Dividends as provided in Section 5(c)).

(p) Notations and Exchanges. Without limiting any rights of Holders pursuant to Section 9, if any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designations changes the terms of any Convertible Preferred Stock, then the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of the Certificate representing such Convertible Preferred Stock to deliver such Certificate to the Transfer Agent so that the Transfer Agent may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Certificate and return such Certificate to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Certificate, issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(c), a new Certificate representing such Convertible Preferred Stock that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Certificate representing any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3(p) will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification.

(q) CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company may use one or more CUSIP or ISIN numbers to identify any of the Convertible Preferred Stock, and, if so, the Company will use such CUSIP or ISIN number(s) in notices to Holders; provided, however, that the effectiveness of any such notice will not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, any such CUSIP or ISIN number.

(r) Certificates.

(i) Generally. The Convertible Preferred Stock may be originally issued initially in the form of one or more Electronic Certificates or Physical Certificates. Electronic Certificates may be exchanged for Physical Certificates, and Physical Certificates may be exchanged for Electronic Certificates upon request by the Holder thereof pursuant to customary procedures.

(ii) Electronic Certificates; Interpretation. For purposes of this Certificate of Designations, (A) each Electronic Certificate will be deemed to include the text of the stock certificate set forth in Exhibit A; (B) any legend or other notation that is required to be included on a Certificate will be deemed to be included in any Electronic Certificate

- 22 -

notwithstanding that such Electronic Certificate may be in a form that does not permit affixing legends thereto; (C) any reference in this Certificate of Designations to the “delivery” of any Electronic Certificate will be deemed to be satisfied upon the registration of the electronic book-entry representing such Electronic Certificate in the name of the applicable Holder; and (D) upon satisfaction of any applicable requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, and any related requirements of the Transfer Agent, in each case for the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock in the form of one or more Electronic Certificates, such Electronic Certificates will be deemed to be executed by the Company and countersigned by the Transfer Agent.

Section 4. RANKING. The Convertible Preferred Stock will rank: (a) senior to (i) Dividend Junior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and (ii) Liquidation Junior Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (b) equally with (i) Dividend Parity Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and (ii) Liquidation Parity Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; and (c) junior to (i) Dividend Senior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and (ii) Liquidation Senior Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Section 5. DIVIDENDS.

(a) Generally.

(i) Regular Dividends.

(1) Accumulation and Payment of Regular Dividends. The Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at a rate per annum equal to the Regular Dividend Rate (or, with respect to dividends that become part of the Liquidation Preference pursuant to this Section 5(a)(i), the Accrued Dividend Rate) on the Liquidation Preference thereof (calculated in accordance with Section 5(a)(i)(2)), regardless of whether declared or funds are legally available for their payment (such dividends that accumulate on the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this sentence, “Regular Dividends”). Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 5(a)(ii)), such Regular Dividends will be payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for their payment to the extent paid in cash, quarterly in arrears on each Regular Dividend Payment Date, to the Holders as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Dividend Record Date. Regular Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate from, and including, the preceding Regular Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Regular Dividend, from, and including, the Initial Issue Date) to, but excluding, the next Regular Dividend Payment Date.

- 23 -

(2) Computation of Accumulated Regular Dividends. Accumulated Regular Dividends will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Regular Dividends on each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will accrue on the Liquidation Preference of such share as of immediately before the Close of Business on the preceding Regular Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Regular Dividend, on the Initial Liquidation Preference of such share).

(ii) Method of Payments; Compounded Dividends. Each declared Regular Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock will be paid in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations and subject to Section 10(b), if as of the Close of Business on any Regular Dividend Payment Date, the Company has not declared or paid all or any portion of the full amount of the Regular Dividends that have accumulated on the Convertible Preferred Stock in cash in respect of the Regular Dividend Period ending on, but excluding, such Regular Dividend Payment Date, for any reason , including because the payment of any dividend is prohibited by law (it being understood that the Company not declaring a Regular Dividend or not paying all or any portion of a Regular Dividend in cash shall not constitute a breach of this Certificate of Designations), then such unpaid dividends for such Regular Dividend Period shall accumulate on the then Liquidation Preference at the Accrued Dividend Rate and shall be automatically added, effective immediately before the Close of Business on the related Regular Dividend Payment Date, to the Liquidation Preference of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of such time, without any action on the part of the Company or any other Person (the “Compounded Dividends”); provided that, unless the Company shall otherwise notify the Holders on or prior to the fifth (5^th) Business Day prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, any such unpaid Dividends shall (whether or not earned or declared) become part of the Liquidation Preference of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date pursuant to this Section 5. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the payment of any Regular Dividend pursuant to this Section 5(a)(ii), the Company must treat each share of Convertible Preferred Stock in the same manner as any other share of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company may not declare or pay any Regular Dividend in additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. All Regular Dividends, including Compounded Dividends, are prior to and in preference over any dividend on any Dividend Junior Stock and Liquidation Junior Stock and shall be declared and fully paid before any dividends are declared and paid, or any other distributions or redemptions are made, on any Dividend Junior Stock or Liquidation Junior Stock (except pursuant to any Permitted Restricted Payment). Except as set forth in Section 7, Dividends shall be payable to the Holders as they appear on the records of the Company on the Record Date for such Dividends, which, to the extent the Board of Directors determines to declare Regular Dividends in respect of any Regular Dividend Period, shall be the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, and which record date and Dividend Payment Date, to the extent so determined, shall be declared by the Board of Directors during each Regular Dividend Period on the date that is at least twenty (20) days prior to the Dividend Payment Date and five (5) days prior to the record date.

(b) Participating Dividends.

(i) Generally. Subject to Section 5(b)(ii), no dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination of

- 24 -

the foregoing) will be declared or paid on the Common Stock unless, at the time of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend or distribution is declared and paid, respectively, on the Convertible Preferred Stock (such a dividend or distribution on the Convertible Preferred Stock, a “Participating Dividend,” and such corresponding dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, the “Common Stock Participating Dividend”), such that (1) the Record Date and the payment date for such Participating Dividend occur on the same dates as the Record Date and payment date, respectively, for such Common Stock Participating Dividend; and (2) the kind and amount of consideration payable per share of Convertible Preferred Stock in such Participating Dividend is the same kind and amount of consideration that would be payable in the Common Stock Participating Dividend in respect of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 12 but without regard to Section 12(e)(ii) and Section 12(e)(iii)) in respect of one (1) share of Convertible Preferred Stock that is converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such Record Date (subject to the same arrangements, if any, in such Common Stock Participating Dividend not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property, but with such arrangement applying separately to each Holder and computed based on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder on such Record Date).

(ii) Common Stock Change Events and Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. Section 5(b)(i) will not apply to, and no Participating Dividend will be required to be declared or paid in respect of, a Common Stock Change Event, or an event for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required (or would be required without regard to Section 12(f)(iii)) pursuant to Section 12(f)(i)(1), as to which Section 12(h) or Section 12(f)(i)(1), respectively, will apply.

(c) Treatment of Dividends Upon Repurchase or Conversion. If the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Conversion Date or applicable redemption date in connection with a Company Redemption or Investor Redemption of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is after a Record Date for a declared cash Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then the Holder of such share at the Close of Business on such Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding the related repurchase, conversion or redemption, as applicable, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Dividend Payment Date, such declared cash Dividend on such share. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the preceding sentence, a Regular Dividend will be deemed to be declared only to the extent that it is declared for payment in cash. Except as provided in this Section 5(c) or Section 7(d), Regular Dividends on any share of Convertible Preferred Stock will cease to accumulate from and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Conversion Date or applicable redemption date, as applicable, for such share, unless the Company defaults on the payment of the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Conversion Consideration, Company Redemption Price or Investor Redemption Price, as applicable.

- 25 -

Section 6. RIGHTS UPON LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP.

(a) Generally. If the Company liquidates, dissolves or winds up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then, subject to the rights of any of the Company’s creditors or holders of any outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will entitle the Holder thereof to receive payment for the greater of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below out of the Company’s assets or funds legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders, before any such assets or funds are distributed to, or set aside for the benefit of, any Liquidation Junior Stock:

(i) the Accumulated Liquidation Preference per share of Convertible Preferred Stock; and

(ii) the amount such Holder would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 12 but without regard to Section 12(e)(ii) and Section 12(e)(iii)) upon conversion of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock assuming the Conversion Date of such conversion occurs on the date of such payment.

Upon payment of such amount in full, Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights to the Company’s remaining assets or funds, if any. If such assets or funds are insufficient to fully pay such amount on all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable in respect of all outstanding shares of Liquidation Parity Stock, if any, then, subject to the rights of any of the Company’s creditors or holders of any outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock, such assets or funds will be distributed ratably on the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and Liquidation Parity Stock in proportion to the full respective distributions to which such shares would otherwise be entitled.

(b) Certain Business Combination Transactions Deemed Not to Be a Liquidation. For purposes of Section 6(a), the Company’s consolidation or combination with, or merger with or into, or the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than a sale, lease or other transfer in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to, another Person will not, in itself, constitute the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, even if, in connection therewith, the Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing.

(c) Valuation of Non-Cash Assets in a Liquidation Event. If any assets of the Company distributed to stockholders in connection with Section 6(a) are other than cash, then the value of such assets on the distribution date shall be their fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, that any publicly traded securities to be distributed to stockholders pursuant to Section 6(a) shall be valued at the ten (10)-day VWAP of such securities, determined as of the day that is five (5) Trading Days prior to the date of such distribution to the stockholders.

Section 7. REPURCHASE UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE.

(a) Right of Holders to Require the Company to Repurchase Convertible Preferred Stock Upon a Fundamental Change. Subject to the other terms of this Section 7, if a Fundamental Change occurs, then each Holder will have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s shares (or any portion thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

- 26 -

(b) Funds Legally Available for Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. The Company will not voluntarily take any action, or voluntarily engage in any transaction, that would result in a Fundamental Change unless the Company will have on the date of payment sufficient funds legally available to fully pay the maximum aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price that would be payable in respect of such Fundamental Change on all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(c) Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

If any Convertible Preferred Stock is to be converted pursuant to an Optional Conversion, then the Company will have the right to settle such Optional Conversion of such Convertible Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof that represents a whole number of shares) solely in cash in an amount equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon such Optional Conversion of such Convertible Preferred Stock (or such portion thereof), determined in accordance with this Section 12 (but without regard to Section 12(e)(ii) or this Section 12(e)(iii)); and (2) the greater of the Last Reported Sale Price and the VWAP per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date for such Optional Conversion. Such right can be exercised by the Company solely by providing written notice to the Holder of such Convertible Preferred Stock no later than the Business Day after such Conversion Date, which notice states (x) that the Company has elected to cash settle such Optional Conversion; and (y) the number of shares of such Convertible Preferred Stock as to which such election is made. Once such written notice is so provided exercising such right, such exercise will be irrevocable with respect to such Optional Conversion (without affecting the Company’s right to exercise or not exercise such right with respect to any other Optional Conversion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12(e)(iii), the Company will not be entitled to exercise its right to settle any Optional Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock in cash pursuant to this Section 12(e)(iii) unless the Company has sufficient funds legally available, and is permitted under the terms of its indebtedness for borrowed money, to fully pay the cash amounts that would be payable in respect of such election.

- 40 -

(iv) Delivery of Conversion Consideration. Except as provided in Sections 12(f)(i)(2) and 12(h), the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion.

(f) Conversion Rate Adjustments.¹⁹

(i) Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(1) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 12(h) will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:



where:

CR₀ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;

CR₁ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately after the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable;

OS₀ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately before the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and

OS₁ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

¹⁹

NTD: If the Charter provides for Class C common stock, to add provision providing that in no event will there be any adjustment to the Conversion Rate as a result of the conversion of the Company’s Class C common into Class A common in accordance with the terms of the Company’s certificate of incorporation.

- 41 -

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 12(f)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors, or any officer of the Company acting pursuant to authority conferred by the Board of Directors, determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

(2) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:


where:

CR₀ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR₁ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;

SP =		the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;

OS₀ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

AC =		the aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer; and

OS₁ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

- 42 -

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 12(f)(i)(2), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 12(f)(i)(2) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If the Conversion Date for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

(3) Certain Issuances of Common Stock or Convertible Securities. If the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities (whether debt or equity) exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for (collectively, a “conversion) Common Stock (collectively, “convertible securities) (other than in Excluded Issuances or a transaction to which Section 12(f)(i)(1) or 12(f)(i)(2) applies) without consideration or at a consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 90% of the greater of (i) the Last Reported Sale Price and (ii) VWAP, in each case, immediately prior to the execution of the definitive agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible securities) then, in such event, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

- 43 -


where:

CR₀ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the execution of the definitive agreement on pricing such shares (or of such convertible securities);

CR₁ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the execution of the definitive agreement on pricing such shares (or of such convertible securities);

OS₀ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and immediately prior to the issuance of additional shares (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of all convertible securities of the Company);

OS₁ =		the number of shares of Common Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or converted); and

OS₂ =		the number of shares of Common Stock (or into which such convertible securities may be exercised or converted) that would have been issued assuming such additional shares of Common Stock had been issued or deemed issued at a price per share of Common Stock equal to 90% of the Last Reported Sale Price (such amount determined by dividing the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued (or into which such convertible securities may be exercised or converted) by 90% of the Last Reported Sale Price immediately prior to the execution of the definitive agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible securities)).

For purposes of this Section 12(f)(i)(3), the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or convertible securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of (x) the purchase price payable solely in cash of all such securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or conversion of any such convertible securities into shares of Common Stock plus (z) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of any consideration that consists all or in part of property other than cash; and “Excluded Issuances” shall mean (i) any issuance of shares of Common Stock or any options or convertible securities issued in connection with a merger or other business combination or an acquisition of the securities or assets of another Person, business unit, division or business, other than in connection with the broadly marketed offering and sale of equity or convertible securities for third- party financing of such transaction, (ii) any issuance of shares of any equity securities (including upon exercise of options) to directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as approved by the Board of Directors or its designee(s) other than for bona fide capital raising purposes, (iii) any issuance of shares of any equity securities pursuant to an employee stock option plan, management incentive plan, restricted stock plan, stock purchase plan or stock, ownership plan or similar benefit plan, similar program or similar agreement as approved by the Board of Directors, (iv) any issuance of shares of equity securities in connection with a bona fide third- party strategic partnership or commercial arrangement with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than an issuance the primary purpose of which is a bona fide capital raise), (v) any issuance of shares of any equity securities pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not

- 44 -

described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this sentence and outstanding as of the Initial Issue Date (including any such issuance of shares of any equity securities pursuant to the Convertible Preferred Stock), or pursuant to issuance, exercise or conversion of securities or rights issued pursuant to a distribution in which the Holder participates as contemplated by Section 12(f)(i)(4) or pursuant to a Stockholder Rights Plan, (vi) any issuance of shares of any equity securities or convertible securities in which the initial Holder or its Affiliates participate pursuant to its preemptive rights, (vii) any issuance of shares of any equity securities or convertible securities to a third party financial institution as an “equity kicker” in connection with a bona fide borrowing by the Company that is primarily a debt financing transaction, (viii) any issuance of securities in a transaction described in Section 12(f)(i)(1) or 12(f)(i)(2) and (ix) the issuance of shares of equity securities to a governmental authority or designee thereof (in each case, excluding a sovereign wealth fund who regularly makes financial investments) in connection with a financing transaction pursuant to a program developed to address COVID-19 (including the impacts thereof). Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(f)(i)(3) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance.

Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised or unconverted or unexchanged convertible security which resulted in an adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of this Section 12(f)(i)(3), then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock then in effect shall be readjusted to such number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock if such convertible security had never been issued.

(ii) No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(1) Certain Events. Without limiting the operation of Sections 5(a)(ii) and 12(e)(i), the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except pursuant to Section 12(f)(i). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:

(A) except as otherwise provided in Section 12(f)(i), the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;

(B) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;

(C) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options, rights or warrants to purchase or receive Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director, consultant or service provider benefit plan, incentive compensation plan or other benefit or compensation plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(D) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Initial Issue Date; or

- 45 -

(E) solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

(iii) Adjustment Deferral. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Certificate of Designations would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate, then the Company may, at its election, defer such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (1) when all such deferred adjustments would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate; (2) the Conversion Date of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock; (3) the effective date of any Fundamental Change and/or any Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date; and (4) the occurrence of any vote of the stockholders of the Company.

(iv) Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan.

(v) Determination of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 12(f)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (1) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (2) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).

(vi) Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

(vii) Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12(f)(i), the Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such effectiveness, send notice to the Holders containing (1) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (2) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (3) the effective time of such adjustment.

(g) Voluntary Conversion Rate Increases.

(i) Generally. To the extent permitted by applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, applicable stock exchange rules), the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (1) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is in the Company’s best interest or that such increase is advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common

- 46 -

Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event; (2) such increase is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (3) such increase is irrevocable during such period; provided, however, that any such increase that would reasonably be expected to result in any income tax imposed on Holders shall require the affirmative vote or consent of Holders representing 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

(ii) Notice of Voluntary Increase. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12(g)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in Section 12(g)(i), the Company will send notice to each Holder of such increase to the Conversion Rate, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.

(h) Effect of Common Stock Change Event.

(i) Generally. If there occurs any:

(1) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock, other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities;

(2) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;

(3) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

(4) other similar event,

and, as a result of which, all of the outstanding Common Stock (other than to the extent canceled or dissenting) is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations,

(A) from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (I) the consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 12 or in Section 11, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (II) for purposes of Section 7 and Section 12(c), each reference to

- 47 -

any number of shares of Common Stock in such Sections (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (III) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” the terms “Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity (including depositary receipts representing common equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property; and

(B) for these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities that is listed on a national securities exchange, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

(ii) Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 12(h).

(iii) Execution of Supplemental Instruments. On or before the date the Common Stock Change Event becomes effective, the Company and, if applicable, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such supplemental instruments, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are necessary or desirable to (1) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12(f)(i) in a manner consistent with this Section 12(h); and (2) give effect to such other provisions, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to Section 12(h)(i). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental instrument(s) and such supplemental instrument(s) will contain such additional provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of Holders, including the provisions providing for the repurchase and redemption rights set forth in Section 7, Section 8 and Section 9.

(iv) Notice of Common Stock Change Event. The Company will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the effective date of the Common Stock Change Event.

(i) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

- 48 -

(i) Generally. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and the Conversion Date for the conversion of a share of Convertible Preferred Stock occurs during the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period or in respect of the related Mandatory Conversion, as applicable, then, subject to this Section 12(i), the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation as provided in, and subject to, the provisions below) to the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:


	$10.000		$11.500		$14.000		$16.100		$20.000		$25.000		$30.000		$40.000		$45.000		$50.000
0		13.0435		13.0435		13.0435		12.2733		8.2015		5.5380		4.0280		2.3265		1.7916		1.3762
1		13.0435		13.0435		12.8464		9.3000		5.8430		3.8616		2.8130		1.6418		1.2693		0.9776
2		13.0435		13.0435		9.3643		5.9236		3.1430		2.0080		1.4753		0.8760		0.6813		0.5270
3		13.0435		13.0435		6.2271		2.1025		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000
4		13.0435		9.3652		3.9843		1.4441		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000
5		13.0435		2.1087		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000
6		13.0435		2.1035		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000
7		13.0435		2.0991		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000

If such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date or Stock Price is not set forth in the table above, then:

(1) if such Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two dates in the table above, then the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices in the table above or the earlier and later dates in the table above, based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366)-day year, as applicable; and

(2) if the Stock Price is greater than $[•] (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 12(i)(ii)), or less than $[•] (subject to adjustment in the same manner), per share, then no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased to an amount that exceeds [•] shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Liquidation Preference of Convertible Preferred Stock, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 12(f).

- 49 -

For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the sending of a Mandatory Conversion Notice will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change only with respect to the shares subject to Mandatory Conversion pursuant to such Mandatory Conversion Notice, and not with respect to any other shares; and (y) the Conversion Rate applicable to the shares not subject to such Mandatory Conversion will not be subject to increase pursuant to this Section 10(j) on account of such Mandatory Conversion Notice.

(ii) Adjustment of Stock Prices and Additional Shares. The Stock Prices in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table set forth in Section 12(i)(i) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Price is adjusted as a result of the operation of Section 12(f). The numbers of Additional Shares in the table set forth in Section 12(i)(i) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 12(f).

(iii) Notice of the Occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs pursuant to clause (A) of the definition thereof, then, in no event later than the Business Day immediately after the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will notify the Holders and the Transfer Agent of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, briefly stating the circumstances under which the Conversion Rate will be increased pursuant to this Section 12(i) in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Company will notify the Holders and the Transfer Agent of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurring pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof in accordance with Section 12(c).

Section 13. CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK.

(a) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever this Certificate of Designations requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12(f)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

(b) Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. The Company will reserve, out of its authorized, unreserved and not outstanding shares of Common Stock, for delivery upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock that would be sufficient to settle the conversion of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, if any. To the extent the Company delivers shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury in settlement of any obligation under this Certificate of Designations to deliver shares of Common Stock, each reference in this Certificate of Designations to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection therewith will be deemed to include such delivery.

- 50 -

(c) Status of Shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such share of Common Stock will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will cause each such share of Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.

(d) Taxes Upon Issuance of Common Stock. The Company will pay any Transfer Taxes due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder, except any Transfer Taxes that are due because such Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name and no such shares will be so registered unless and until the Holder making such request has paid such Transfer Taxes to the Company or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

Section 14. CALCULATIONS.

(a) Responsibility; Schedule of Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Designations, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Certificate of Designations or the Convertible Preferred Stock, including determinations of the Conversion Rate, the Last Reported Sale Prices and accumulated Regular Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company will make all calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to any Holder upon written request.

(b) Calculations Aggregated for Each Holder. The composition of the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be computed based on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder being converted with the same Conversion Date. For these purposes, any cash amounts due to such Holder in respect thereof will be rounded to the nearest cent.

Section 15. WITHHOLDING. The Company (or other applicable withholding agent) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold taxes on all payments and distributions (or deemed distributions) on the Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent required by applicable Law. The Holders shall provide the Company (or other applicable withholding agent) with any necessary tax forms, including an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as applicable, and any similar information. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Certificate of Designations as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Each Holder agrees, and each holder and beneficial owner of Convertible Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof), by its acquisition or ownership of any such stock is deemed to agree, that, in the event the Company (or other applicable withholding agent) previously remitted any amounts to a Governmental Authority on account of taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution) with respect to a share of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company (or other

- 51 -

applicable withholding agent) shall be entitled (i) to offset any such amounts against (1) any amounts otherwise payable in respect of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock (including from any Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion thereof) or any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, or (2) sales proceeds received by, or other funds or assets of, such Holder or beneficial owner or (ii) to require the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made to reimburse the Company (or other applicable withholding agent) for such amounts (and such Person shall promptly so reimburse the Company upon demand).

Section 16. NOTICES.
