[DEF 14A] Rent the Runway, Inc. Definitive Proxy Statement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Rent the Runway proposes a recapitalization that hinges on stockholder approval of several linked proposals to implement an Exchange Agreement. The plan would exchange indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement for new term loans and issue Exchange Stock to the lender and designated buyers, with the Exchange Stock intended to represent 86% of fully diluted shares post-closing (before the Rights Offering and MIP). Key components disclosed include a $12.5 million Rights Offering at $4.08 per share (20% discount), an implied conversion price of $8.48 per share, BTIGs fairness opinion supporting the Exchange Stock issuance to the lender, board and officer changes at closing, and material equity grants including an Initial Grant to Jennifer Hyman equal to 5% (up to 7.5%) of fully diluted Class A stock. The transactions are conditioned on multiple closing conditions, regulatory filings, no Legal Restraints, and fulfillment of third-party sale closings.

Positive

• BTIG issued a fairness opinion concluding the Exchange Stock issuance was fair, from a financial point of view, to Class A holders (exclusive of lender holdings).
• Rights Offering is structured and backstopped for $12.5 million at $4.08 per share with the Investor Group backstopping the offering.
• Clear closing mechanics and governance plan: the agreement defines board composition, officer continuations, and post-closing corporate actions to effect the recapitalization.
• Debt-to-equity exchange quantified: $100.0 million of indebtedness is to be exchanged dollar-for-dollar for new term loans as described.

Negative

• Substantial dilution: Exchange Stock is intended to represent 86% of fully diluted Company Common Stock at closing (before Rights Offering and MIP), indicating major ownership transfer.
• Large insider equity grants: Jennifer Hymans Initial Grant equals 5% (up to 7.5%) of fully diluted Class A stock, and senior employees collectively up to 6% (up to 9%), increasing dilution pressure.
• Multiple closing conditions and dependencies: consummation requires stockholder approval, Rights Offering, concurrent sale closings to STORY3 and Nexus, New Credit Agreement effectiveness, and absence of Legal Restraints.
• Material reliance on management projections and assumptions: BTIGs opinion and valuation analyses relied on non-public projected financial data provided by management without independent verification as disclosed.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Recapitalization restructures debt into equity and new loans, with valuation inputs and a fairness opinion supporting the exchange.

BTIG performed valuation analyses using selected public comps, estimated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for FY2025 and FY2026, and compared implied share prices to the $8.48 conversion price, concluding the exchange was fair to Class A holders (exclusive of lender holdings). The plan includes a $100.0 million dollar-for-dollar exchange for new term loans, sale of portions of Exchange Stock and term loans to STORY3 and Nexus, a $12.5 million Rights Offering at $4.08 per share (30-day VWAP-derived), and governance changes to a seven-member post-closing board. These elements substantially alter capital structure and ownership, impacting equity value per share and dilution metrics explicitly disclosed in the filing.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Transaction creates major governance and ownership shifts tied to multiple conditional approvals and transfer mechanics.

The Exchange Agreement contemplates automatic resignations of incumbent directors (other than Jennifer Hyman) and a Post-Closing Board of seven directors including investor designees and three independents selected by the Investor Majority. The Amended Plan grants significant equity to insiders and key employees (Initial Grants: 5% to Hyman, 6% to other senior employees, portions as RSUs and PSUs) and removes evergreen provisions for the 2021 Plan. Completion depends on Company Stockholder Approval, Rights Offering success (backstopped), New Credit Agreement execution, sale closings to STORY3 and Nexus, and absence of Legal Restraints—each explicitly required. These governance and incentive changes are material and conditioned on multiple contingent events.

We are holding the Special Meeting in connection with our entry into an exchange agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Exchange Agreement”), between us and CHS US Investments LLC (the “Lender”), to enhance our financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing our existing indebtedness, improving the interest rate on our borrowings and extending the maturity of our remaining indebtedness.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to enter into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with CHS (US) Management LLC, our Lender, Gateway Runway, LLC (“Nexus”) and S3 RR Aggregator, LLC (“STORY3” and, collectively with Nexus and our Lender, the “Investor Group”), and Lender agreed to convert all of the indebtedness under our Existing Credit Agreement (as defined in the accompanying Proxy Statement) in excess of $100.0 million into shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), in an aggregate amount equal to 86% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (as defined in the accompanying Proxy Statement) and our existing stockholders will own the remaining 14% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (in each case, after giving effect to the Conversions (as defined in the accompanying Proxy Statement) but before giving effect to the Rights Offering (as defined below) and the increased share reserve under the Amended Plan (as defined in the accompanying Proxy Statement)) (the “Term Loan Conversion”). We also (i) agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 in connection with a $12,500,000 rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), and (ii) entered into a rights offering backstop agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Rights Offering Backstop Agreement”), with the Investor Group. Under the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement, the Investor Group agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares of the Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Rights Offering at a price of $4.08 per share. If our stockholders do not approve the Required Proposals (as defined below) in connection with these transactions, the Exchange Agreement will be terminated in accordance with its terms, we will not be able to enter into the New Credit Agreement, and we may default under our Existing Credit Agreement.

The Special Meeting will be held to approve:

1.
for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rules, including, but not limited to, Rule 5635(b), the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon the Term Loan Conversion (the “Term Loan Conversion Proposal”);

TABLE OF CONTENTS

4.

an adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the foregoing proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

The Term Loan Conversion Proposal, the Backstop Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Proposals.” The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement are conditioned upon the approval by our stockholders of each of the Required Proposals. If any one of the Required Proposals fails to receive the approval of our stockholders at the Special Meeting, the recapitalization transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement will not be consummated. While the Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal by our stockholders is not a condition of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.

Holders of record of our outstanding shares of capital stock, composed of Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at the close of business on September 23, 2025, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting.

We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in this proxy statement. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in this proxy statement may not be an arithmetic aggregation of their respective parts. All references in this Proxy Statement to the amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and the corresponding amount of such indebtedness that will be exchanged pursuant to the Recapitalization Transactions are stated as of July 31, 2025 for illustrative purposes. The actual amount of indebtedness that will be exchanged at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions will be higher as a result of interest that accrues under the Existing Credit Agreement during the period between July 31, 2025 and the closing date of the Recapitalization Transactions.

This Proxy Statement will be released on or about September 29, 2025 to our stockholders on the Record Date (as defined below).

What are the proposed Recapitalization Transactions?

We entered into an exchange agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Exchange Agreement”), by and between us and CHS US Investments LLC (the “Lender”), the lender under our credit agreement, dated as of July 23, 2018, by and among the Company, as borrower, Lender, as a lender, and CHS (US) Management LLC (as successor-in-interest to Double Helix Pte Ltd.), as administrative agent (“Agent”) (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, revised or otherwise modified to date, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and certain other transaction agreements with affiliates of Lender, Gateway Runway, LLC (“Nexus”) and S3 RR Aggregator, LLC (“STORY3” and, collectively with Nexus and Lender, the “Investor Group”) in connection with our proposed recapitalization transactions (the “Recapitalization Transactions”) to enhance our financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing our existing indebtedness, improving the interest rate on our borrowings and extending the maturity of our remaining indebtedness.

The Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the finance committee of the Board, which is comprised of disinterested and independent directors (the “Finance Committee”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to consummate the Recapitalization Transactions.

The Recapitalization Transactions include, among other matters:

1.
the entry into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), by and among us, as borrower, Agent, as administrative agent, and the Investor Group, as lenders, to reflect (i) the exchange of $100.0 million of existing outstanding indebtedness owing to Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar and cashless basis for new term loans under the New Credit Agreement and (ii) $20.0 million of new money term loans to be provided to the Company by the Investor Group;

2.
the contribution of all remaining indebtedness owing to Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Equity Exchange Obligations”) approximately $223.1 million as of the end of our second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2025, which excludes our unamortized debt premium and includes accrued but unpaid cash interest to us in exchange for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, equal to 86% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions and our existing stockholders will own the remaining 14% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (in each case, after giving effect to the Conversions (as defined below), but before giving effect to the Rights Offering (as defined below) and the increased share reserve under the Amended Plan (as defined below)) (the “Exchange Stock”);

3.
a rights offering to existing holders of our Common Stock to raise up to an additional $12.5 million in gross proceeds (the “Rights Offering”);

4.
the entry into a rights offering backstop agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Rights Offering Backstop Agreement”), by and among us and the Investor Group, pursuant to which the Investor Group agreed to purchase any unsubscribed shares of Class A Common Stock in the Rights Offering;

5.
the conversion, prior to the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, of each share of Class B Common Stock into one share of Class A Common Stock (the “Conversions”);

6.
the amendment and restatement of our Twelfth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation so that it is in the form of the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Amended and Restated Charter”);

7.
the entry into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), by and among us, the Investor Group and certain entities affiliated with Jennifer Hyman, that would apply after the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions and set forth certain post-closing governance terms; and

8.
the amendment and restatement of our 2021 Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan and extend the expiration date of the 2021 Plan (the “Plan Amendment Proposal”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What is the background and considerations for the proposed Recapitalization Transactions?

Faced with the approaching maturity date under the Existing Credit Agreement and significant uncertainty as to whether we could continue to meet the minimum liquidity covenant under the Existing Credit Agreement, for the past two years we have been working diligently with multiple advisors to pursue strategic alternatives, including, among other things: a sale of the Company, a refinancing or restructuring of the Existing Credit Agreement and equity capital raises. During this two-year time period, with the assistance of a financial advisor, we canvassed the market and held discussions with numerous financial sponsors and strategic acquirers. Despite engaging in many discussions with these third parties, none of these financial sponsors or strategic acquirers was willing to proceed beyond having preliminary discussions on strategic alternatives. As a result of the lack of interest by third parties in any of these strategic alternatives, it was the considered view of the Finance Committee and the Board that there was substantial concern that we would be unable to effectively run our business unless the Existing Credit Agreement could be amended or restructured.

The Recapitalization Transactions were the only option available that provided us sufficient liquidity to effectively run our business while remaining in compliance with the Existing Credit Agreement.

Do any of RTR’s non-employee directors and executive officers have interests in the Recapitalization Transactions that may differ from those of RTR’s stockholders generally?

In considering the recommendation of the Board with respect to the Required Proposals and the Charter Amendment Proposal, you should be aware that our non-employee directors and executive officers may have interests in the Recapitalization Transactions that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. The Board was apprised of and considered these interests, among other matters, to the extent such interests existed at the time in evaluating and negotiating the Exchange Agreement and the Recapitalization Transactions, in approving the Exchange Agreement and the Recapitalization Transactions, and in recommending that the Required Proposals and the Charter Amendment Proposal be approved by our stockholders. For a description of the interests of our non-employee directors and executive officers in the Recapitalization Transactions, see “Interests of RTR’s Non-Employee Directors and Executive Officers.”

What percentage of Rent the Runway will the Investor Group own upon completion of the proposed transaction?

Assuming that our stockholders approve the Term Loan Conversion Proposal, the Backstop Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal (collectively, the “Required Proposals”), the Investor Group will collectively own 86% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions and our existing stockholders will own the remaining 14% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (in each case, after giving effect to the Conversions, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the increased share reserve under the Amended Plan).

What happens if the Required Proposals are not approved?

If our stockholders do not approve the Required Proposals, the Exchange Agreement will terminate in accordance with its terms and the Recapitalization Transactions would be abandoned. In addition, we would likely not be able to satisfy the minimum liquidity covenant set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement, which would result in an event of default under the Existing Credit Agreement. In such a case, Agent would have the right to accelerate repayment of all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, foreclose its liens against substantially all of our assets and take possession and sell any such assets to reduce any such obligations. These events would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. As a result, we would likely be unable to continue our operations, be unable to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection or have an involuntary bankruptcy case filed against us. The Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee, recommends that you vote “FOR” all of the Required Proposals.

The Recapitalization Transactions are conditioned upon the approval by our stockholders of each of the Required Proposals.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

While the approval by our stockholders of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is not a condition to complete the Recapitalization Transactions, the Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee, recommends that you vote “FOR” the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

What is the vote required to approve each proposal?

For the Required Proposals, the vote required to approve each of these proposals is the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will have no effect on these proposals.

For the Charter Amendment Proposal, the vote required to approve this proposal is the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock voting separately as a class, and (ii) two-thirds of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

For the Adjournment Proposal, the vote required is the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes present and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal, and broker non-votes (if any) will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

Are any Rent the Runway stockholders already committed to vote in favor of any of the Special Meeting proposals?

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, all of the holders of the Class B Common Stock (the “Proxy Stockholders”) executed and delivered a Conversion Notice and Proxy (collectively, the “Conversion Notices”), pursuant to which each such Proxy Stockholder, among other things, granted to certain officers of the Company, at the request of the Board (which is required to be requested pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), a proxy to vote (or cause to be voted) all shares of Common Stock held by such Proxy Stockholder at the Special Meeting (each proxy, a “Proxy”) in favor of each proposal contained in this Proxy Statement. Each Proxy Stockholder also opted to convert his, her or its respective shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock effective immediately prior to (A) the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Charter, or (B) if the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. As a result, we will no longer have any Class B Common Stock outstanding once the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Charter becomes effective or the Recapitalization Transactions close, as applicable. As of the Record Date, our stockholders who delivered Proxies collectively owned (i) approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, these shares represented approximately 45.2% of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock.

Was the Company advised by financial advisers?

Yes, LionTree Advisors LLC (“LionTree”) and BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”) each advised the Finance Committee and the Board.

Was a fairness opinion received?

Yes, BTIG provided an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, to the Finance Committee and the Board, to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the various limitations, qualifications, assumptions, conditions and other matters set forth in such opinion, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by the Company in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (other than any shares of Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates). The description of BTIG’s fairness opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to its description in the section entitled “Proposal No. 1—The Term Loan Conversion Proposal—Opinion of BTIG, LLC” and the written opinion of BTIG attached as Exhibit G hereto.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Can I ask questions at the Special Meeting?

In order to ensure stockholders are afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate in the Special Meeting as an in-person meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer questions submitted online during the Special Meeting that are pertinent to the matters presented at the Special Meeting. We will not discuss the Company’s business in the Q&A session.

Only stockholders of record as of the Record Date and their proxy holders who have logged in using a 16-digit control number may submit questions or comments.

You will be able to ask questions by joining the virtual Special Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RENT2025SM and typing your question in the box in the Special Meeting portal.

To help ensure that we have a productive and efficient meeting, and in fairness to all stockholders in attendance, you will also find posted our rules of conduct for the Special Meeting when you log in prior to its start. In accordance with the rules of conduct, we ask that you limit your remarks to one brief question or comment that is relevant to the Special Meeting and that remarks are respectful of your fellow stockholders and meeting participants. Questions may be grouped by topic by Rent the Runway’s management with a representative question read aloud and answered. In addition, questions may be deemed to be out of order if they are, among other things, irrelevant to the matters presented at the Special Meeting, repetitious of statements already made, or in furtherance of the speaker’s own personal, political, or business interests. Questions will only be addressed in the Q&A portion of the Special Meeting.

Technical support will be available starting at 7:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on October 21, 2025.

What is the deadline for voting?

If you are a stockholder of record, your ability to vote by proxy by internet or telephone will end at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 20, 2025. If you prefer to vote by mail, you should complete and return the proxy card as soon as possible, so that it is received no later than the closing of the polls on the date the Special Meeting is held. You will also be able to vote by attending and voting at the virtual Special Meeting on the date that the Special Meeting is held. However, we recommend that you submit your proxy in advance in the event your plans change or you are unable to attend the Special Meeting.

If your Rent the Runway shares are held in an account with a broker, bank, trustee or nominee, you should vote in accordance with the instructions from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee.

What happens if I do not vote?

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, by telephone, through the internet or online during the meeting, your shares will not be voted.

If your Rent the Runway shares are held in an account with a broker, bank, trustee or nominee, and you do not instruct your broker, bank, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares, your broker, bank, trustee or nominee may still be able to vote your shares in its discretion. In this regard, brokers, banks, trustees and nominees may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters considered under applicable exchange rules to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. No proposal is expected to be considered to be “routine” under applicable exchange rules, meaning that your broker may not vote your shares on any proposal in the absence of your voting instructions. See “How many votes are required to approve each proposal?” below for more information. Please instruct your broker, bank, trustee or nominee to ensure that your vote will be counted.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What is an “abstention” and how will abstentions be treated?

An “abstention” represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions will have no effect on any of the Required Proposals, but will be counted as a vote against the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If you submit a properly signed proxy card but do not provide any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board, which are indicated above and with each proposal in this Proxy Statement. We know of no other business that will be presented at the Special Meeting. However, if any other matter is properly presented at the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Yes. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time prior to the final vote at the virtual Special Meeting on October 21, 2025 by:

• providing a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) by internet, telephone or mail (and until the applicable deadline for each method);

• by submitting written notice of revocation to our proxy solicitor, D.F. King & Co., Inc. (“D.F. King”), 28 Liberty Street, Floor 53, New York, NY 10005, provided such revocation is received prior to the vote at the Special Meeting; or

• attending and voting at the virtual Special Meeting.

Your most recent proxy submitted by proxy card, internet, or telephone is the one that will count. Your attendance at the virtual Special Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy if you do not also vote at the virtual Special Meeting.

If you hold shares in an account with a broker, bank, trustee or nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee or nominee in accordance with the instructions they provide to you. If you have obtained a valid proxy from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, you may change your vote by attending the virtual Special Meeting and voting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Who will count the votes?

A representative of Broadridge Financial Services, LLC will tabulate the votes and act as inspector of election.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Special Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Special Meeting, electronically or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum. If a quorum is not present, we will not be able to conduct any business, and the Special Meeting will be adjourned, or rescheduled, by the chairperson of the meeting for a later date.

Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will be counted as present for determining whether or not a quorum is present.

Do stockholders have appraisal rights?

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders will not be entitled to appraisal rights with respect to any proposal for which we are seeking approval.

Where can I find the voting results of the Special Meeting?

If available, we may announce preliminary voting results at the Special Meeting, and we will publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days after the Special Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of materials?

If you receive more than one set of materials, it means you hold your shares in more than one name or account. In order to vote all of your shares, you should sign and return all of the proxy cards you receive or follow the instructions for any alternative voting procedures on the proxy cards or the Internet Notices you receive.

How do I obtain a separate set of proxy materials or request a single set for my household?

We have adopted a practice approved by the SEC called “householding.” This means that stockholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our proxy statement unless one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure reduces printing costs, postage fees and the environmental impact. Each stockholder who participates in householding will continue to be able to access or receive a separate proxy card.

If you prefer to receive a separate set of proxy materials or if you currently receive multiple copies and would like to request “householding” of your communications, please contact Broadridge by phone at 1 (866) 540-7095 or by mail to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. If any stockholders in your household would like to receive a separate proxy statement, please send an email to investors@renttherunway.com. We will strive to promptly address your request.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with other risk factors disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2025, and all of the other information included in this Proxy Statement before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. These risks could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

If our stockholders fail to approve the Required Proposals at the Special Meeting to consummate the Recapitalization Transactions, the Exchange Agreement will be terminated in accordance with its terms, we will not be able to enter into the New Credit Agreement, and we may default on our Existing Credit Agreement, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.

We have incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness to fund our operations, which requires significant interest payments. As of July 31, 2025, we had $323.1 million (which excludes our unamortized debt premium and includes accrued but unpaid cash interest) in outstanding indebtedness under our Existing Credit Agreement that will mature in October 2026. We do not expect that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay our indebtedness upon maturity or make other scheduled payments. Further, we are required to comply with various covenants under our Existing Credit Agreement, which we have amended from time to time with the cooperation of Lender to ensure our continued compliance with such covenants. Any failure to repay our indebtedness, make scheduled payments or comply with the covenants under our Existing Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default.

We entered into the Exchange Agreement to enhance our financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing our existing indebtedness, improving our borrowing rate and extending the maturity of our remaining indebtedness. If our stockholders fail to approve the Required Proposals to consummate the Recapitalization Transactions, we will not be able to enter into the New Credit Agreement, our ability to continue as a going concern will be impaired, and we may default under our Existing Credit Agreement. A default would allow the Agent to accelerate repayment of all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and foreclose its liens against substantially all of our assets and take possession and sell such assets to reduce any such obligations. As a result, a default would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to operate as a going concern, and we would likely be unable to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection or have an involuntary bankruptcy case filed against us. Further, if the Recapitalization Transactions are not completed, our currently outstanding debt obligations will mature on October 29, 2026, and as of October 29, 2025, these outstanding debt obligations would be classified as a current liability and we may be unable to continue as a going concern, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the Required Proposals are approved, we will issue a significant number of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Term Loan Conversion, the Rights Offering and the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement, which will result in immediate and substantial dilution to our stockholders.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Lender would (a) exchange $100.0 million of existing outstanding indebtedness owing by the Company to Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar and cashless basis for new term loans under the New Credit Agreement and (b) contribute the Equity Exchange Obligations to the Company in exchange for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, equal to 86% of the number of shares of our total outstanding common stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions and our existing stockholders will own the remaining 14% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (in each case, after giving effect to the Conversions, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the share reserve under the Amended Plan). Therefore, if our stockholders vote to approve the Required Proposals, they will experience immediate and substantial dilution upon the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions.

Additionally, under the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 in connection with a $12.5 million rights offering and entered into the Rights Offering Backstop

12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Agreement, which permits the Investor Group to purchase all unsubscribed shares of the Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Rights Offering at a price of $4.08 per share. If the Required Proposals are approved, we will issue all of the unsubscribed shares of Class A Common Stock offered in the Rights Offering to the Investor Group, and our stockholders could experience further significant and immediate dilution. In the event the Recapitalization Transactions close, as a result of Lender’s substantial ownership of our capital stock, Lender may be able to control matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our Company or our assets. This concentration of ownership may limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters and may cause us to make strategic decisions that could involve risks to you or that may not be aligned with your interests. This control may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Following the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions, we may in the future elect to take advantage of all or part of the “controlled company” exemption to certain of the corporate governance rules for Nasdaq-listed companies, which, if we make such election, could then make our Class A Common Stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise adversely affect our stock price.

If the Recapitalization Transactions are consummated, Lender may control a majority of the voting power of our Common Stock, and in the future, Lender, potentially with other parties, may together control a majority of the voting power of our Common Stock, and in that circumstance, we would qualify as a controlled company within the meaning of the listing rules of the Nasdaq Global Market. Although there currently is not an intention to take advantage of this exemption, if we are in a position to do so in the future, and elect to do so, we would not be required to have a majority of our directors be independent, nor would we be required to have a compensation committee or an independent board nominating function. As a result, if the Recapitalization Transactions are consummated, we could then have the ability to elect in the future not to have a majority of our directors be independent or not to have a compensation committee or nominating and corporate governance committee comprised of independent directors. If that were to occur, stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance rules for Nasdaq-listed companies. Therefore, if we were to elect to become a controlled company, our Class A Common Stock may be less attractive to some investors or such status may otherwise adversely affect our stock price.

We will enter into the New Credit Agreement if the Required Proposals are approved, which includes covenants that could restrict our operations or our ability to pursue growth strategies and initiatives, and failure to comply with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the Required Proposals are approved, we will enter into the New Credit Agreement upon the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions. The New Credit Agreement will amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and contain negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, amend our material agreements, make investments, incur liens, make negative pledges, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Our obligation to comply with such covenants could decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Further, in the past we have sought waivers and/or concessions from Lender to ensure our continued compliance with certain covenants under our Existing Credit Agreement, and we may in the future be unable to comply with the covenants under the New Credit Agreement. If we were unable to comply with our covenants and successfully negotiate with the Investor Group for a waiver or modification of such covenants under the New Credit Agreement, Agent would have the right to accelerate repayment of all outstanding obligations, which would become immediately due and payable, and exercise all other rights and remedies available under the New Credit Agreement. While Lender has previously granted waivers or entered into amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement to avoid certain events of default, there can be no assurance that the Investor Group will be willing to do so in the future. In addition, the rights of the Investor Group under the New Credit Agreement are transferable and assignable, and any transferee may not be willing to grant such waivers or enter into such amendments, or have interests that align with us and our stockholders. Therefore, any failure to comply with our covenants and negotiate with the Investor Group could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Proposal No. 1

The Term Loan Conversion

Proposal

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to enter into the New Credit Agreement with the Investor Group, and Lender agreed to convert all of the indebtedness under our Existing Credit Agreement in excess of $100.0 million (approximately $223.1 million as of the end of our second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2025), which excludes our unamortized debt premium and includes accrued but unpaid cash interest, into shares of our Class A Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to 86% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (after giving effect to the Conversions, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the increased share reserve under the Amended Plan) (the “Term Loan Conversion”). In order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, our stockholders are being asked to approve the issuance of all of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the Term Loan Conversion.

Background and Considerations

On July 23, 2018, we entered into the Existing Credit Agreement. The Existing Credit Agreement matures on October 29, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), and contains a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain at least $30.0 million in qualified cash and cash equivalents (the “Minimum Liquidity Covenant”).

Since 2020, we, Lender and Agent have entered into numerous amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, to waive our compliance with the Minimum Liquidity Covenant and certain other covenants set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement. In addition, we obtained substantial cash interest relief through prior amendments, with a portion of interest instead being payable in kind.

Faced with the approaching Maturity Date and significant uncertainty as to whether we could continue to meet the Minimum Liquidity Covenant under the Existing Credit Agreement, we have worked diligently for the past two years with multiple advisors to pursue strategic alternatives, including, among other things: a sale of the Company, a refinancing or restructuring of the Existing Credit Agreement and equity capital raises. During this two-year time period, with the assistance of a financial advisor, we canvassed the market and held discussions with numerous financial sponsors and strategic acquirers. Despite engaging in many discussions with these third parties, none of these financial sponsors or strategic acquirers was willing to proceed beyond having preliminary discussions on strategic alternatives. In light of the unsuccessful efforts over the past two years to identify actionable strategic alternatives, it was the considered view of the Finance Committee and of the Board that no alternative transactions to this Recapitalization Transaction were likely to be available that could have been implemented prior to the Maturity Date, that would have provided long-term relief from the Minimum Liquidity Covenant, or that would have satisfied in full the amounts owed under our Existing Credit Agreement on the Maturity Date. As a result, it was the considered view of the Finance Committee and the Board that there was substantial concern that we would be unable to effectively run our business unless the Existing Credit Agreement could be amended or restructured.

The Recapitalization Transactions were the only option available that could provide us sufficient liquidity to effectively run our business while remaining in compliance with the Existing Credit Agreement. In connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, the Finance Committee and the Board received the advice of LionTree and BTIG. In addition, the Finance Committee and the Board received an opinion from BTIG to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the various limitations, qualifications, assumptions, conditions and other matters set forth in such opinion, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by the Company in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (other than any shares of Class A Common Stock

TABLE OF CONTENTS

held by Lender or its affiliates). Taking into account such advice and fairness opinion, the Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee, has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to consummate the Recapitalization Transactions. The foregoing description of BTIG’s fairness opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to its description under the caption “Opinion of BTIG, LLC” below and the written opinion of BTIG attached as Exhibit G hereto.

As of July 31, 2025, the total aggregate indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement was approximately $323.1 million, which excludes our unamortized debt premium and includes accrued but unpaid cash interest. If we do not receive stockholder approval of the Required Proposals, we (i) would likely be unable to continue our operations and avoid filing for bankruptcy protection and (ii) would likely be at significant risk of an involuntary bankruptcy case being filed against us.

The Exchange Agreement permits us to consider unsolicited alternative proposals that we receive, subject to certain conditions, and to terminate the Exchange Agreement in order to accept a “Superior Proposal” as defined in the Exchange Agreement. We will continue to evaluate strategic alternative proposals received in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement in order to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the maturity thereof, including equity capital raises and a sale of the business. There can be no assurances that these efforts will be successful.

Under the Exchange Agreement, the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions is not subject to a financing condition, but is subject to certain customary conditions to closing, including (i) approval of our stockholders of the Required Proposals (the “Company Stockholder Approval”), (ii) absence of any order or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions, (iii) consummation of the Rights Offering, (iv) substantially simultaneous consummation of the sale transactions contemplated by the Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement (as defined below), (v) entry by us and the Investor Group into the New Credit Agreement and effectiveness thereof, (vi) adoption of amended and restated bylaws of the Company, (vii) subject in certain cases to customary materiality qualifiers, the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Exchange Agreement and compliance with the covenants contained in the Exchange Agreement and (viii) no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) having occurred since the date of the Exchange Agreement that is continuing.

The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants by us to conduct our businesses in the ordinary course between the execution of the Exchange Agreement and the closing, not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period (including payment of dividends outside of the ordinary course or as otherwise permitted under the Exchange Agreement), to convene and hold a meeting of our stockholders to consider and vote upon the proposals in this Proxy Statement, to seek approval from our stockholders of the Amended and Restated Charter, to conduct the Rights Offering, and, subject to certain customary exceptions, for the Board to recommend that our stockholders approve the issuance of the Exchange Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and to the extent required by Nasdaq rules, the issuance of shares issuable pursuant to the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement. The Exchange Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of our Lender.

The Exchange Agreement contains a customary “no-shop” provision that restricts our ability to, among other things, solicit Takeover Proposals (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) from third parties and to provide non-public information to, and engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding Takeover Proposals. The “no-shop” provision allows us, under certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations set forth in the Exchange Agreement, to provide non-public information to any person and its representatives that has made a bona fide Takeover Proposal that either constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Exchange Agreement).

The Exchange Agreement contains certain termination rights for both us and Lender. We are required to pay to Lender a fee of $6.0 million if: (i) Lender terminates the Exchange Agreement as a result of an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) by the Board; (ii) we terminate the Exchange Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement for a Superior Proposal; or (iii) a Takeover Proposal has been made

and thereafter (x) the Exchange Agreement is terminated as a result of (I) the Recapitalization Transactions not having been consummated on or before 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on February 20, 2026 (as such date may be extended pursuant to any written agreement to so extend that is executed by us and Lender), (II) Company Stockholder Approval not having been obtained, (III) our breach of our representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would cause the related conditions to closing to not be met or (IV) a Proxy Stockholder having rescinded, revoked, withdrawn, repudiated or challenged the validity or effectiveness of their respective conversion notices or Proxy (a “Proxy Revocation”), and (y) within 12 months of such termination we or any of our subsidiaries consummates a specified Takeover Proposal or enter into a definitive agreement providing for a specified Takeover Proposal. We are required to pay to Lender a fee of $2.0 million if Lender terminates the Exchange Agreement as a result of a Proxy Revocation (which would be creditable against the $6.0 million termination fee, if payable). The Exchange Agreement also provides that either party may specifically enforce the other party’s obligations under the Exchange Agreement.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Lender and the Company are required to take all actions as may be necessary to cause, upon the closing, the Board to consist of seven members, including Ms. Hyman, a director selected by Ms. Hyman and approved by the Investor Majority, a director designated by Nexus, a director designated by STORY3 and three directors designated by the Board and subject to the approval of the Investor Majority.

New Credit Agreement

The New Credit Agreement, when entered into in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, will amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and provide for $120.0 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans comprised of (x) $100.0 million of Exchange Consideration Term Loans and (y) $20.0 million of New Money Term Loans. All such term loans would mature on the fourth anniversary of the closing and bear interest, at our option, at either (i) an agreed reference rate, plus 4.00% or (ii) term SOFR plus 5.00%, in each case per annum. The New Credit Agreement would also modify the Existing Credit Agreement in certain other respects, including by temporarily reducing the Minimum Liquidity Covenant level from $30.0 million to $15.0 million, which reduced minimum liquidity maintenance covenant applies during the period from the closing until February 20, 2027, and will thereafter revert to $30.0 million.

The description of the terms of the New Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of such agreement attached to the Exchange Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B hereto.

Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement

In connection with our entry into the Exchange Agreement, we also entered into a debt and equity purchase agreement (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement”), by and among us, Agent and the Investor Group. Pursuant to the Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, each of Nexus and STORY3 has agreed to enter into the New Credit Agreement, to provide its share of the New Money Term Loans, and to purchase (i) $15.0 million of the Exchange Consideration Term Loans and (ii) 15% of the Exchange Stock from Lender, in each case, for an aggregate purchase price of $15.0 million immediately following the closing. Consummation of the sale transactions under the Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement is conditioned only on the substantially concurrent closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.

Investor Rights Agreement

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, we also entered into an investor rights agreement (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Investor Rights Agreement”), by and among us, the Investor Group and certain entities affiliated with Ms. Hyman. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, which takes effect upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, we will be required to prepare and file with the SEC, within 20 days following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, a shelf registration statement registering the resale of Class A Common Stock held by Ms. Hyman and the Investor Group, and the Investor Rights Agreement will grant certain demand, piggyback and shelf registration rights to Ms. Hyman and the Investor Group.

The Investor Rights Agreement also provides for certain Board designation rights of the Investor Group and Ms. Hyman following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as they meet certain minimum ownership thresholds, each of Nexus and STORY3 will be entitled to designate one director to the Board, and the Board will designate three directors to the Board, subject to the approval of the Investor Majority and after considering in good faith Ms. Hyman’s views in connection therewith. In addition, the Investor Rights Agreement provides that, so long as Ms. Hyman serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, she will be designated as a member of the Board, and, for so long as she continues to own a specified minimum number of shares of Class A Common Stock, Ms. Hyman will be entitled to appoint one additional director to the Board, subject to the reasonable approval of the Investor Majority. Subject to certain minimum ownership thresholds, each of Ms. Hyman, Nexus and STORY3 would also be entitled to appoint a non-voting Board observer, and Lender would be entitled to appoint two non-voting Board observers; provided, that (i) each of STORY3 and Nexus shall have the right to designate one Board observer in total pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and the New Credit Agreement and (ii) Lender shall have the right to designate two Board observers in total pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and the New Credit Agreement.

The Investor Rights Agreement also provides for certain information and access rights for Major Investors (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement).

The description of the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

Conversion Notice and Proxy

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, all of the Proxy Stockholders executed and delivered Conversion Notices, pursuant to which, among other things, each Proxy Stockholder (i) opted to convert his, her or its respective shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock effective immediately prior to (A) the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Charter, or (B) if the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, and (ii) granted to certain officers of the Company, at the request of the Board (which is required to be requested pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), a proxy to vote (or cause to be voted) all shares of Common Stock held by such Proxy Stockholder at the Special Meeting in favor of each proposal contained in this Proxy Statement. As a result, we will no longer have any Class B Common Stock outstanding once the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Charter becomes effective or the Recapitalization Transactions close, as applicable. As of the Record Date, our stockholders who delivered the Proxies collectively owned (i) approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, these shares represented approximately 45.2% of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock.

Opinion of BTIG, LLC

In making their determination with respect to the Term Loan Conversion, the Finance Committee and the Board also considered the financial analyses prepared by BTIG, and the opinion of BTIG as of August 20, 2025, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates) of the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

The Finance Committee and the Board retained BTIG to provide a fairness opinion in connection with their consideration of the Term Loan Conversion. In selecting BTIG, the Finance Committee and the Board considered, among other things, the fact that BTIG is a reputable investment banking firm with substantial experience advising companies in the consumer sectors and providing strategic advisory services in general. BTIG, as part of its investment banking business, is continuously engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

On August 20, 2025, at meetings of the Finance Committee and, subsequently, the Board held to evaluate the proposed Term Loan Conversion, BTIG delivered an oral opinion, subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion to the Finance Committee and the Board, to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the various limitations, qualifications, assumptions, conditions and other matters set forth in such opinion, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates).

The full text of the written opinion of BTIG, dated August 20, 2025, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, limitations on the review undertaken and qualifications contained in connection with its opinion, is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit G and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The following summary of BTIG’s opinion in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of BTIG’s opinion. Stockholders are urged to read BTIG’s opinion carefully and in its entirety. BTIG provided its opinion for the information of, and directed its opinion to, the Finance Committee and the Board for their information and assistance in connection with their consideration of the financial terms of the Term Loan Conversion. BTIG’s opinion was not intended to and does not constitute a recommendation to the Finance Committee or the Board as to how the Finance Committee or the Board should vote on the Term Loan Conversion or to any stockholder of RTR as to how any such stockholder should vote at any stockholders’ meeting at which the Term Loan Conversion or any related transactions may be considered, or whether or not any stockholder of RTR should enter into a proxy, conversion, voting, stockholders’ or affiliates’ agreement with respect to or following the Term Loan Conversion, or exercise any redemption, repurchase, exchange or similar rights that may be available to such stockholder.

In rendering its opinion, BTIG has, among other things:

• reviewed an execution version of the Exchange Agreement;

• discussed the Term Loan Conversion and related matters with RTR’s management;

• reviewed the audited financial statements of RTR for the two fiscal years ended January 31, 2025;

• reviewed and discussed with RTR’s management certain other publicly available information concerning RTR;

• reviewed and discussed with RTR’s management certain non-public projected financial and operating data relating to RTR prepared and furnished to BTIG by management of RTR;

• discussed with RTR’s management the historical and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of RTR (including their views on the risks and uncertainties of achieving such projections) and such other matters as BTIG deemed relevant;

• reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available information concerning the terms of selected transactions that BTIG considered relevant to its analysis;

• reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial and stock market data relating to selected public companies that BTIG considered relevant to its analysis;

• reviewed the reported prices and the historical trading activity of RTR’s Class A Common Stock;

• evaluated the enterprise value of RTR implied by the various financial analyses BTIG conducted;

20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and considered such other information as BTIG deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of its opinion; and

• taken into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and its experience in other transactions, as well as BTIG’s experience in securities valuations and its knowledge of RTR’s industry generally.

In rendering its opinion, BTIG has relied upon and assumed, with RTR’s acknowledgement and consent, without independent investigation or verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to BTIG by or on behalf of RTR, or that was otherwise reviewed by BTIG, and BTIG has not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying any of such information. With respect to the non-public projected financial and operating data relating to RTR prepared and furnished to BTIG by management of RTR, BTIG has assumed, at the direction of RTR, that they were reasonably prepared on the basis of reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of RTR as to the future operating and financial performance of RTR and that they provided a reasonable basis upon which BTIG could form its opinion. All projected financial information is based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such projected financial information. BTIG has relied on this projected information without independent verification or analysis and does not in any respect assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

BTIG also assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of RTR since the date of the last financial statements made available to BTIG. BTIG did not make or obtain any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of RTR’s assets or liabilities, nor was BTIG furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, BTIG assumes no responsibility for their accuracy.

BTIG assumed, with RTR’s consent, that there are no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions any necessary regulatory or governmental approval and that all conditions to the Term Loan Conversion will be satisfied and not waived. BTIG also assumed that the Term Loan Conversion would be consummated substantially on the terms and conditions described in the Exchange Agreement, including the Rights Offering, the Conversion and the issuance of RSUs and PSUs described in the section entitled “Initial Grants under the Amended Plan”, without any waiver of material terms or conditions by RTR or any other party, and that obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals or satisfying any other conditions for consummation of the Term Loan Conversion would not have an adverse effect on RTR or the Term Loan Conversion. BTIG also assumed that the Term Loan Conversion would be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations and all other laws applicable to RTR. BTIG further assumed that RTR relied upon the advice of its counsel, independent accountants and other advisors (other than BTIG) as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to RTR, the Term Loan Conversion and the Exchange Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the independent accountants referred to in BTIG’s opinion were intended by BTIG and the Company to be professional accounting advisors to the Company generally, without considering any particular meaning to the term “independent accountant” or identifying specifically any particular assessment made by any such professional accounting advisor for such purposes, and BTIG did not receive or rely on the advice of the Company’s auditors.

BTIG’s opinion is limited to whether, as of the date thereof, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates), and does not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Term Loan Conversion or any other transactions, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Term Loan Conversion, any consequences of the Term Loan Conversion or any other transactions on RTR, its stockholders, creditors or any other constituencies of RTR, or any terms, aspects or implications of any voting, support, stockholder, credit or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the Term Loan Conversion or otherwise, including the Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement or the New Credit Agreement. BTIG’s opinion also did not consider, address or include:

21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(i) any other strategic alternatives currently (or which have been or may be) contemplated by RTR; (ii) the legal, tax or accounting consequences of the Term Loan Conversion on RTR, its stockholders or any other party; (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of RTR, or any class of any such person, including pursuant to the 2021 Plan, as amended by the Plan Amendment Proposal, relative to the compensation paid to any other party; or (iv) the fairness of the amount or nature of any securities being sold by RTR pursuant to the Rights Offering or the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement.

Furthermore, BTIG expressed no opinion as to the prices, trading range or volume at which RTR’s securities will trade following public announcement or consummation of the Term Loan Conversion or other transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement or related agreements. BTIG was not requested to, and did not, participate in the structuring or negotiation of the Term Loan Conversion or of such transactions.

BTIG’s opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, financial and other conditions as they existed on August 20, 2025, and on the information made available to BTIG by or on behalf of RTR or its advisors, or information otherwise reviewed by BTIG, as of the date of BTIG’s opinion. Subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in BTIG’s opinion and BTIG does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. Further, the credit, financial and stock markets are often affected by periods of volatility and BTIG expressed no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such volatility on RTR or the terms of the Term Loan Conversion. In addition, BTIG’s opinion did not compare the relative merits of the Term Loan Conversion with any other alternative transactions or business strategies which may have been available to RTR and did not address the underlying business decision of the Finance Committee and the Board or RTR to proceed with or effect the Term Loan Conversion.

BTIG is not a legal, tax, regulatory or bankruptcy advisor. BTIG has not considered in its opinion any potential legislative or regulatory changes currently being considered or recently enacted by the United States Congress, the SEC, or any other regulatory bodies, or any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the SEC or the Financial Accounting Standards Board. BTIG’s opinion is not a solvency opinion and does not in any way address the solvency or financial condition of RTR.

The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by BTIG, but describes, in summary form, the material elements of the presentation that BTIG made to the Finance Committee and the Board on August 20, 2025, in connection with BTIG’s opinion. These summaries of financial analyses alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses BTIG employed in reaching its conclusions. In accordance with customary investment banking practice, BTIG employed generally accepted valuation methods and financial analyses in reaching its opinion.

None of the analyses performed by BTIG were assigned a greater significance by BTIG than any other, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by BTIG. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses performed by BTIG, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by BTIG. Considering the data set forth in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses performed by BTIG. The summary text and tables describing each financial analysis does not constitute a complete description of BTIG’s financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, and if viewed in isolation could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses performed by BTIG. The summary text and tables set forth below do not represent and should not be viewed by anyone as constituting conclusions reached by BTIG with respect to any of the analyses performed by it in connection with its opinion. Rather, BTIG made its determination on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of the analyses performed. Except as otherwise noted, the information utilized by BTIG in its analyses, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before August 19, 2025 and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions. The analyses described below do not purport to be indicative of actual future results, or to reflect the prices at which any securities may trade in the public markets, which may vary depending upon various factors, including changes in interest rates, dividend rates, market conditions, economic conditions and other factors that influence the price of securities.

Summary of Material Financial Analyses

In conducting its analysis, BTIG initially calculated the conversion price implied by the issuance of the Exchange Stock in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations. To do so, BTIG divided the total amount of Equity Exchange Obligations valued at 100% of the principal amount (approximately $223.1 million as of the end of RTR’s second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2025) by the number of shares of Exchange Stock (approximately 26.3 million shares) being issued to Lender pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Such calculation implied a conversion price of $8.48 per share. BTIG then compared this implied conversion price per share to RTR’s price per share using three primary methodologies: selected public companies analysis, selected precedent transactions analysis, and discounted cash flow analysis. No individual methodology was given a specific weight, nor can any methodology be viewed individually. Additionally, no company or transaction used in any analysis as a comparison is identical to RTR or the Term Loan Conversion, and they all differ in material ways. Accordingly, an analysis of the results described below is not mathematical; rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the public trading value of the selected companies or transactions to which they are being compared. BTIG used these analyses to determine the impact of various operating metrics on the implied enterprise value of RTR. Each of these analyses yielded a range of implied enterprise values, and therefore, such implied enterprise value ranges developed from these analyses were viewed by BTIG collectively and not individually. In delivering its opinion to the Finance Committee and the Board, BTIG utilized the non-public projected financial and operating data relating to RTR prepared and furnished to BTIG by management of RTR.

Selected Public Companies Analysis

BTIG reviewed, analyzed and compared certain financial information relating to RTR to corresponding publicly available financial information and market multiples for the following fourteen publicly traded companies divided into three sections: Fashion and Luxury E-Commerce, Digitally Native Retailers and Additional Apparel and Female-Focused Companies.

As none of the selected publicly traded companies identified above, or group thereof, is identical or directly comparable to RTR, BTIG, using its professional judgment and experience, derived from the mean and median enterprise values as a multiple of such entities’ estimated revenue and estimated EBITDA for calendar year 2025 and calendar year 2026 a range of multiples for RTR’s estimated revenue and estimated Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year (or “FY”) 2025 and fiscal year 2026, and applied such range of multiples to the estimated revenue and estimated Adjusted EBITDA for RTR for fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2026 utilized by BTIG in performing its analysis to derive ranges of enterprise values for RTR. BTIG then subtracted RTR’s pro forma net debt from the enterprise values obtained by the calculation above to obtain RTR’s equity value, and divided the resulting equity value by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding utilized by BTIG in its analysis, which resulted in ranges of indicative share prices for RTR. “Adjusted EBITDA” means net income/loss adjusted for net interest income/expense, rental product depreciation, other depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation,

write-off of liquidated assets, non-recurring adjustments, non-ordinary course legal fees, restructuring charges, loss on asset impairment related to restructuring, income tax benefit/expense, net gain/loss on warrant liability revaluation, net gain/loss on debt extinguishment, other income/expense, and other gains/losses. The results of this analysis were as follows:

Prospective Financial Information

	Metric			Amount (in millions)			Multiple Range			Indicative Share Price Range
	FY 2025 Estimated Revenue			$324.8			0.60x – 0.90x			$(19.00) – $3.70
	FY 2025 Estimated Adjusted EBITDA			$25.9			8.0x –11.0x			$(16.20) – $1.90
	FY 2026 Estimated Revenue			$331.4			0.55x – 0.90x			$(22.00) – $5.10
	FY 2026 Estimated Adjusted EBITDA			$37.4			6.5x –9.5x			$(7.80) – $18.30

BTIG compared the indicative share price ranges resulting from this analysis to the conversion price of $8.48 per share implied by the Term Loan Conversion. The conversion price implied by the Term Loan Conversion was within or above the indicative share price ranges resulting from the selected public company analysis outlined above, supporting a conclusion that, as of the date of BTIG’s opinion, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates).

BTIG selected the companies used in this analysis on the basis of its experience and knowledge of companies in the industry and various factors, including the size of RTR and the similarity of the lines of business to RTR’s lines of business, as well as the business models, product offerings, operating margin profiles and end-market exposure of such companies. As noted above, no company used as a comparison is identical to RTR. Accordingly, these analyses are not purely mathematical, but also involve complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors.

BTIG selected the precedent transactions based upon its experience and knowledge of companies in each of the relevant industries. Although none of the transactions are directly comparable to the Term Loan Conversion, nor are any of the target companies directly comparable to RTR, BTIG selected transactions involving target companies with similar characteristics to the characteristics identified above in the selected public company analysis.

BTIG reviewed, among other things, the range of enterprise values of the selected target companies implied by the precedent transactions as a multiple of their revenue for the twelve months preceding each transaction. Using its professional judgment and experience, BTIG derived a range of multiples for RTR ranging from 0.60x to 0.90x of last twelve months (“LTM”) revenues. Applying such range of multiples to RTR’s revenue for the twelve months ending April 30, 2025, in accordance with the financial statements contained in RTR’s public filings, BTIG obtained a range of enterprise values for RTR. BTIG then subtracted RTR’s pro forma net debt from the enterprise value obtained by the calculation above to obtain RTR’s equity value, and divided the resulting equity value by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding utilized by BTIG in its analysis, which resulted in an indicative share price range from $(22.40) to $(8.30).

BTIG compared the indicative share price range resulting from this analysis to the conversion price of $8.48 per share implied by the Term Loan Conversion. The conversion price implied by the Term Loan Conversion was above the indicative share price range resulting from the selected precedent transaction analysis outlined above, supporting a conclusion that, as of the date of BTIG’s opinion, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates).

Because the market conditions, rationale, and circumstances surrounding each of the transactions analyzed were specific to each transaction and because of the inherent differences between RTR’s businesses, operations and prospects and those of the acquired companies above, BTIG believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore

26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the analysis. Accordingly, BTIG also made qualitative judgments concerning the differences between the characteristics of these transactions (including market conditions, rationale, and circumstances surrounding each of the transactions, and the timing, type and size of each of the transactions).

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Discounted cash flow analysis is an important valuation methodology that calculates a company’s intrinsic value by discounting its future cash flows to their present value. Free cash flows are projected based on reasonable revenue growth, margin, working capital, and capital expenditure assumptions that conform to industry and company-specific research. These cash flows are then discounted to the present value using a weighted average cost of capital.

BTIG utilized the non-public projected financial and operating data relating to RTR prepared and furnished to BTIG by management of RTR to perform a discounted cash flow analysis of RTR. In conducting this analysis, BTIG assumed that RTR would perform in accordance with these projections and estimates. BTIG performed an analysis of the present value of the unlevered cash flows that RTR’s management projected RTR will generate for the fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2027, and extrapolated such projections by two years through fiscal year 2029 assuming 0% growth based on guidance furnished to BTIG by management of RTR. BTIG calculated terminal values for RTR by applying a range of terminal multiples of 7.0x to 9.0x, selected based on BTIG’s professional judgment and experience, to terminal Adjusted EBITDA, which assumed 0% growth from projected fiscal year 2029’s Adjusted EBITDA based on guidance furnished to BTIG by management of RTR. BTIG discounted the terminal values and cash flows projected for the specified period using discount rates ranging from 19.0% to 23.0%, reflecting estimates of RTR’s weighted average cost of capital based on BTIG’s professional judgment and experience, to determine an implied enterprise value reference range. The weighted average cost of capital was calculated as 21.0% and derived using the capital asset pricing model, which took into account, among other things, risk free rate, historical equity risk premium, levered beta, historical size premium and BTIG’s professional judgment and experience to determine the cost of equity capital, and then applying an additional risk premium selected based on BTIG’s professional judgment and experience to determine the weighted average cost of capital, consistent with standard industry practices. Using discount rates of 19.0% to 23.0% and terminal multiples of 7.0x to 9.0x, selected based on BTIG’s professional judgment and experience, BTIG’s analysis resulted in implied enterprise values for RTR ranging from $152 million to $212 million. BTIG then subtracted RTR’s pro forma net debt from the enterprise value obtained by the calculation above to obtain RTR’s equity value, and divided the resulting equity value by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding utilized by BTIG in its analysis and obtained an implied per share equity value ranging from $(28.90) to $(14.90). 

BTIG compared the results of this analysis to the conversion price of $8.48 per share implied by the Term Loan Conversion. The conversion price implied by the Term Loan Conversion was above the indicative share price range resulting from the discounted cash flow analysis outlined above, supporting a conclusion that, as of the date of BTIG’s opinion, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates).

Conclusion

Based upon the foregoing analyses and based upon and subject to the various limitations, qualifications, assumptions, conditions and other matters set forth in full in the text of BTIG’s opinion, BTIG was of the opinion that, as of the date of BTIG’s opinion, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates).

Miscellaneous

The discussion above represents a summary of the material financial analyses presented by BTIG to the Finance Committee and the Board in connection with its opinion and is not a comprehensive description of all analyses undertaken by BTIG in connection with its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not

27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. BTIG believes that its analyses summarized above must be considered as a whole. BTIG further believes that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying BTIG’s analyses and opinion. The fact that any specific analysis has been referred to in the summary above is not meant to indicate that such analysis was given greater weight than any other analysis referred to in the summary.

In performing its analyses, BTIG considered industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RTR. The estimates of the future performance of RTR in or underlying BTIG’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those estimates or those suggested by BTIG’s analyses. These analyses were prepared solely as part of BTIG’s analysis of the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates) of the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and were provided to the Finance Committee and the Board in connection with the delivery of BTIG’s opinion. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which a company might actually be sold or the prices at which any securities have traded or may trade at any time in the future. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the ranges of valuations resulting from, any particular analysis described above are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty and should not be taken to be BTIG’s view of the actual value of RTR.

The type and amount of consideration payable in the Term Loan Conversion was determined through negotiations between RTR and Lender, rather than by any financial advisor, and was approved by the Finance Committee and the Board. The decision to enter into the Exchange Agreement was solely that of the Finance Committee and the Board. As described above, BTIG’s opinion and analyses were only one of many factors considered by the Finance Committee and the Board in their evaluation of the Term Loan Conversion and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Finance Committee and the Board or RTR’s management with respect to the Term Loan Conversion.

In the two years prior to the date hereof, BTIG has not provided financial advisory or investment banking services for RTR or Lender for which any compensation was received. BTIG may seek to provide investment banking services to RTR, Lender or any of their respective affiliates in the future, and would expect to receive fees for the rendering of any such services.

Pursuant to the engagement letter between RTR and BTIG, BTIG is entitled to receive a non-contingent fee of $750,000, which became due upon delivery of BTIG’s opinion. BTIG will not receive any other significant payment or compensation contingent upon the successful consummation of the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. In addition, RTR has agreed to reimburse BTIG for certain of its out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, and has agreed to indemnify BTIG against certain liabilities, including under applicable laws, arising out of its engagement.

BTIG, as part of its investment banking services, is regularly engaged in the independent valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, underwritings, sales and distributions of listed and unlisted securities, and private placements. BTIG or its affiliates may seek to provide investment banking services to RTR, Lender or their respective affiliates in the future, for which BTIG or its affiliates would seek customary compensation. BTIG provides a full range of financial advisory and securities services and, in the course of its normal trading activities, may from time to time effect transactions and hold securities, including, without limitation, derivative securities, of RTR, Lender or each of their affiliates, for its own account and for the accounts of customers.

Reasons for Seeking Stockholder Approval

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. In order to comply with Nasdaq Listing rules, we are seeking stockholder approval of the Term Loan Conversion.

28

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the issuer. Generally, Nasdaq interpretations provide that the acquisition of 20% of the shares of an issuer by one person or a group of affiliated persons may be deemed a change of control of such issuer. The Term Loan Conversion would result in the issuance of 86% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (after giving effect to the Conversions, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the increased share reserve under the Amended Plan) and in a “change of control” under the Nasdaq interpretations of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). Stockholders should note that a “change of control,” as described under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), applies only with respect to the application of such rule, and does not necessarily constitute a “change of control” for purposes of Delaware law, our organizational documents or any other agreements to which we may be a party.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to hold a meeting of our stockholders for the purpose of obtaining such stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). The Special Meeting is intended to satisfy such obligation.

The Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee, has determined that the Term Loan Conversion Proposal is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, and resolved to recommend that the stockholders vote to approve the issuance of the Exchange Stock.

Approval of the Term Loan Conversion Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes). Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Consequences if Stockholder Approval Is Not Obtained

If the Term Loan Conversion Proposal is not approved, the Exchange Agreement will be terminated in accordance with its terms, we will not be able to enter into the New Credit Agreement, and we may default under the Existing Credit Agreement. Such default would allow Agent to accelerate repayment of all obligations and exercise all other rights and remedies available under the Existing Credit Agreement. As a result, a default would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we would likely be unable to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection or have an involuntary bankruptcy case filed against us. We therefore strongly believe that it is critical that you vote “FOR” the Term Loan Conversion Proposal.

Proposal No. 2

The Backstop Proposal

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 in connection with a $12.5 million rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) and entered into a rights offering backstop agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025 (the “Rights Offering Backstop Agreement”), among us and the Investor Group, which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Under the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement, the Investor Group agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares of the Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Rights Offering at a price of $4.08 per share. In order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, our stockholders are being asked to approve the issuance of all of the shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement pursuant to this Backstop Proposal, if any.

The Rights Offering Backstop Agreement

We expect to launch the Rights Offering and distribute to the holders of our Common Stock transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock at a price of $4.08 per share. These subscription rights will be available for a limited subscription period, and stockholders will not be required to subscribe for any shares in the Rights Offering. As a result, any rights issued to our stockholders that are unsubscribed, either pursuant to the initial rights or oversubscription rights, during the subscription period will be purchased by the Investor Group pursuant to the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement, up to the $12.5 million maximum amount of the Rights Offering.

Reasons for Seeking Stockholder Approval

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. In order to comply with Nasdaq Listing rules, we are seeking stockholder approval of the issuance of shares pursuant to the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the issuer. Generally, Nasdaq interpretations provide that the acquisition of 20% of the shares of an issuer by one person or a group of affiliated persons may be deemed a change of control of such issuer. The issuance of shares pursuant to the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement may result in the issuance of more than 20% of our total Common Stock and in a “change of control” under the Nasdaq interpretations of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). Stockholders should note that a “change of control,” as described under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), applies only with respect to the application of such rule, and does not necessarily constitute a “change of control” for purposes of Delaware law, our organizational documents or any other agreements to which we may be a party.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval of transactions, other than public offerings, resulting in the issuance of greater than 20% of the outstanding Common Stock or voting power of the issuer prior to the offering at a price less than the “Minimum Price,” which Nasdaq defines as the lower of the issuer’s most recent closing price immediately prior to signing the binding agreement for the transaction or the average of the closing price for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. The price per share of Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement is $4.08 per share, which is less than the “Minimum Price” of $4.49 and therefore the issuance requires stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to hold a meeting of our stockholders for the purpose of obtaining such stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(b) and (d). The Special Meeting is intended to satisfy such obligation.

Proposal No. 3

The Plan Amendment Proposal

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to take all actions as may be required to amend, or amend and restate, the 2021 Plan to the extent required in order to issue additional awards pursuant to the 2021 Plan (the “Amended Plan”), as amended and restated. The Plan Amendment (as defined below) is contingent on, and will not take effect until, the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, and the 2021 Plan will continue in effect under its existing terms unless and until the occurrence of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. The Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee, has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to approve the amendment and restatement of the 2021 Plan.

The Plan Amendment

We are seeking stockholder approval to amend and restate the 2021 Plan (the “Plan Amendment”) to (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that will be made available as awards thereunder following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions to an amount equal to 18.3% of the fully diluted Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions and (ii) extend the expiration date of the 2021 Plan to the tenth anniversary of the date that the Amended Plan is approved by our stockholders.

As of September 5, 2025, there were 336,796 shares of Class A Common Stock available for future awards under the 2021 Plan, which the Company estimates will not be sufficient to cover the equity grants required to be made to the Company’s executive officers and other employees pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Therefore, the Board, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee, determined that the Plan Amendment is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, and resolved to recommend that the stockholders vote to approve the Plan Amendment.

The Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee and the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), approved the Plan Amendment on September 15, 2025, subject to stockholder approval, and our stockholders are now being asked to approve the Plan Amendment.

The Company anticipates filing a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC to register the additional amount of new shares of Class A Common Stock available to be included in the aggregate share reserve under the Amended Plan, effective upon and subject to stockholder approval of the Plan Amendment, as soon as practicable following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

The Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee and the Compensation Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to approve the Plan Amendment. The closing of the Recapitalization Transactions is conditioned upon our stockholders approving the Plan Amendment. Stockholders are requested in this proposal to approve the Plan Amendment.

Rationale for the Plan Amendment

If approved, the Plan Amendment will allow us to continue to provide our employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company through the Amended Plan, encouraging them to remain in our employ or service, motivating them to achieve superior performance for the Company and more closely aligning their interests with those of our stockholders. We, along with the Investor Group, believe that offering ownership interests in the Company through the Amended Plan is a key factor in retaining existing employees, recruiting, and retaining new employees and is vital to the long-term success of the Company by aligning and increasing the interest of all employees in our success, which is why approval of the Plan Amendment Proposal is a condition precedent to the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board and the Compensation Committee consider long-term equity-based incentive compensation as an important element of the Company’s compensation program. The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that equity awards provide our executive officers and employees with a strong link to long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executive officers and employees with those of our stockholders. The Amended Plan is designed to advance these interests to the benefit of the Company and its stockholders and encourage sustained excellence from our employees to drive long-term stockholder value. Equity-based compensation under the Amended Plan would encourage executive officers and employees to act as owners with an equity stake in the Company, discourage inappropriate risk-taking and contribute to continuity and stability within the Company’s workforce.

The ability to grant long-term equity-based compensation would allow the Company to continue to align the interests of executive officers and employees with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and to create substantial incentives for the Company’s executive officers and employees to achieve the Company’s long-term goals. In addition, long-term equity-based compensation enables the Company to provide competitive compensation to help in recruitment of executive officers and employees, and, through vesting requirements, helps to promote retention and long-term service of executive officers and employees.

Summary of the Amended Plan

The following summary discussion describes the principal features of the Amended Plan. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the Amended Plan. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text and terms of the Amended Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit F.

Eligibility and Administration

Our employees, consultants and directors, and employees, consultants and directors of our subsidiaries, are eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan. The Amended Plan is expected to be administered by the Board, which may delegate its duties and responsibilities to committees of our directors and/or officers (referred to collectively as the “plan administrator” below), subject to certain limitations that may be imposed under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and/or stock exchange rules, as applicable. The plan administrator has the authority to make all determinations and interpretations under, prescribe all forms for use with, and adopt rules for the administration of, the Amended Plan, subject to its express terms and conditions. The plan administrator will also set the terms and conditions of all awards under the Amended Plan, including any vesting and vesting acceleration conditions. As of September 5, 2025, approximately 253 employees and 6 directors of the Company and its subsidiaries were eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan.

Limitation on Awards and Shares Available

Previously, the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan was equal to the sum of (i) 5,221,848, plus (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2022 and ending in and including 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such lesser amount as determined by the Board, plus (iii) 67,842 shares of our Class B Common Stock for an award to Ms. Hyman and plus (iv) any shares of our Common Stock available for issuance under the 2009 Plan and the 2019 Plan as of the effective date of the 2021 Plan or that are subject to awards under the 2009 Plan and the 2019 Plan which are forfeited or lapse unexercised and which following the effective date of the 2021 Plan are not issued under such prior plans (which would become available as shares of our Class A Common Stock).

As amended, the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance under the Amended Plan following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions will be an amount equal to 18.3% of the fully diluted Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. The share reserve under the Amended Plan is intended to provide us with enough shares of Class A Common Stock to grant pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement to our executive officers and other employees, to promote retention of our executive officers and employees, and to align the interests of our executive officers and employees with those of our stockholders, and will not be subject to an annual increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the Amended Plan.

33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As under the 2021 Plan, no more than 15,665,544 shares of Class A Common Stock may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under the Amended Plan.

Awards granted under the Amended Plan upon the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding equity awards previously granted by an entity in connection with a corporate transaction with us, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or stock will not reduce the shares authorized for grant under the Amended Plan. The maximum grant date fair value of cash and equity awards granted to any non-employee director pursuant to the Amended Plan during any calendar year is $750,000, increased to $1,000,000 for the non-employee director’s initial year of service as a non-employee director.

Awards

The Amended Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including ISOs and nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”), restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock payments, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), other incentive awards, SARs and cash awards.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Ms. Hyman will be eligible to receive an initial equity award grant (an “Initial Grant”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended Plan. Ms. Hyman’s Initial Grant will be equal to 5% of the fully diluted Class A Common Stock immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (assuming “good” level of performance is achieved, and up to 7.5% if maximum level of performance is achieved). In addition, following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, Ms. Hyman will recommend that the Board issue an Initial Grant to Company employees who are at or above the level of vice president and not members of the Board immediately following the Recapitalization Transactions. The total number of shares of Common Stock available to be issued to these employees will be equal to 6% of the fully diluted Class A Common Stock immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (assuming “good” level of performance is achieved and up to 9% if maximum level of performance is achieved).

Each Initial Grant will be made 50% in the form of RSUs denominated in Class A Common Stock with the remaining 50% of the Class A Common Stock subject to each Initial Grant being made in the form of performance stock units denominated in Class A Common Stock (“PSUs”). The RSUs subject to each Initial Grant will vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 75% on a quarterly basis thereafter through the fourth anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to the recipient’s continued employment over the four-year period following the grant date. The PSUs subject to each Initial Grant will vest based on the satisfaction of performance metrics established for each performance period, with the first performance period comprising the Company’s fiscal year 2027, the second performance period comprising the Company’s fiscal year 2028, and the third performance period comprising the Company’s fiscal year 2029, subject to the recipient’s continued employment through the last day of the third performance period.

In order to receive an Initial Grant, each continuing executive officer, including Ms. Hyman, must agree to forfeit any equity awards outstanding immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, and each Initial Grant will be subject to approval of the Board following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

Certain awards under the Amended Plan may constitute or provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), which may impose additional requirements on the terms and conditions of such awards. All awards under the Amended Plan will be set forth in award agreements, which will detail all terms and conditions of the awards, including any applicable vesting and payment terms and post-termination exercise limitations. Awards other than cash awards generally will be settled in shares of our Common Stock, but the plan administrator may provide for cash settlement of any award. A brief description of each award type follows.

• Stock Options. Stock options provide for the purchase of shares Class A Common Stock in the future at an exercise price set on the grant date. ISOs, by contrast to NSOs, may provide tax deferral beyond exercise and favorable capital gains tax treatment to their holders if certain holding period and other requirements of the Code are satisfied. The exercise price of a stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant (or 110% in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders), except with respect to certain substitute options granted in connection with a corporate transaction. The term of a stock option may not be longer than ten years (or five years in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders).

34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• SARs. SARs entitle their holder, upon exercise, to receive from us an amount equal to the appreciation of the shares of Class A Common Stock subject to the award between the grant date and the exercise date. The exercise price of a SAR may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant (except with respect to certain substitute SARs granted in connection with a corporate transaction). The term of a SAR may not be longer than ten years.

• Restricted Stock and RSUs. Restricted stock is an award of nontransferable shares of Class A Common Stock that remain forfeitable unless and until specified conditions are met, and which may be subject to a purchase price. RSUs are contractual promises to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock in the future, which may also remain forfeitable unless and until specified conditions are met. Delivery of the shares underlying RSUs may be deferred under the terms of the award or at the election of the participant, if the plan administrator permits such a deferral.

• Stock Payments, Other Incentive Awards and Cash Awards. Stock payments are awards of fully vested shares Class A Common Stock that may, but need not, be made in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to any individual who is eligible to receive awards. Other incentive awards are awards other than those enumerated in this summary that are denominated in, linked to or derived from shares of Class A Common Stock or value metrics related to our shares, and may remain forfeitable unless and until specified conditions are met. Cash awards are cash incentive bonuses subject to performance goals.

• Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of Class A Common Stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are credited as of dividend record dates during the period between the date an award is granted and the date such award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the plan administrator.

Vesting

Vesting conditions determined by the plan administrator may apply to each award and may include continued service, performance and/or other conditions.

Certain Transactions

The plan administrator has broad discretion to take action under the Amended Plan, as well as make adjustments to the terms and conditions of existing and future awards, to prevent the dilution or enlargement of intended benefits, facilitate the transaction, or give effect to changes in applicable law or accounting principles, in connection with certain transactions and events affecting our Common Stock, such as a change in control, stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, consolidations and other corporate transactions. This includes cancelling awards for cash or property, accelerating the vesting of awards, providing for the assumption or substitution of awards by a successor entity, adjusting the number and type of shares subject to outstanding awards and/or with respect to which awards may be granted under the Amended Plan and replacing or terminating awards under the Amended Plan. In addition, in the event of certain non-reciprocal transactions with our stockholders known as “equity restructurings,” the plan administrator will make equitable adjustments to the Amended Plan and outstanding awards. In the event of a “change in control” of our Company (as defined in the Amended Plan), to the extent that the surviving entity declines to continue, convert, assume or replace outstanding awards, then all such awards may become fully vested and exercisable in connection with the transaction. Individual award agreements may provide for additional accelerated vesting and payment provisions.

Non-U.S. Participants, Clawback Provisions, Transferability and Participant Payments

The plan administrator may modify award terms, establish subplans and/or adjust other terms and conditions of awards, subject to the share limits described above, in order to facilitate grants of awards subject to the laws and/or stock exchange rules of countries outside of the United States. All awards will be subject to the Company’s Policy Relating to Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. With limited exceptions for estate planning, domestic relations orders, certain beneficiary designations and the laws of descent and distribution, awards under the Amended Plan are generally non-transferable, and are exercisable only by the participant. With regard to tax withholding, exercise price and purchase price obligations arising in connection with awards under the 2021 Plan, the plan administrator may, in its discretion, accept cash or check, provide for net withholding of shares, allow shares of our Common Stock that meet specified conditions to be repurchased, allow a “market sell order” or such other consideration as it deems suitable.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Plan Amendment and Termination

The Board may amend or terminate the Amended Plan at any time; however, except in connection with certain changes in our capital structure, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment that increases the number of shares available under the Amended Plan. No award may be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date on which our stockholders approve the Amended Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards

The Amended Plan is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The following is a general summary of certain U.S. Federal income tax consequences to U.S. participants with respect to awards granted under the Amended Plan based on the law as currently in effect. This discussion applies to participants who are citizens or residents of the U.S. and a U.S. taxpayer.

Nonqualified Stock Options

On exercise of a nonqualified stock option granted under the Amended Plan, an optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value on the date of exercise of the shares of stock acquired on exercise of the option over the exercise price. If the optionee is an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, that income will be subject to the withholding of Federal income tax. The optionee’s tax basis in those shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise of the option, and his or her holding period for those shares will begin on that date.

If an optionee pays for shares of stock on exercise of an option by delivering shares of our Common Stock, the optionee will not recognize gain or loss on the shares delivered, even if their fair market value at the time of exercise differs from the optionee’s tax basis in them. The optionee, however, otherwise will be taxed on the exercise of the option in the manner described above as if he or she had paid the exercise price in cash. If a separate identifiable stock certificate is issued for that number of shares equal to the number of shares delivered on exercise of the option, the optionee’s tax basis in the shares represented by that certificate will be equal to his tax basis in the shares delivered, and his or her holding period for those shares will include his or her holding period for the shares delivered. The optionee’s tax basis and holding period for the additional shares received on exercise of the option will be the same as if the optionee had exercised the option solely in exchange for cash.

We will be entitled to a deduction for Federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of ordinary income taxable to the optionee; provided that the deduction is not otherwise disallowed under the Code.

Incentive Stock Options

The Amended Plan provides for the grant of stock options that qualify as “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code, which we refer to as ISOs. Under the Code, an optionee generally is not subject to tax upon the grant or exercise of an ISO. In addition, if the optionee holds a share received on exercise of an ISO for at least two years from the date the option was granted and at least one year from the date the option was exercised (the “Required Holding Period”), the difference, if any, between the amount realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of that share and the holder’s tax basis in that share will be long-term capital gain or loss. An individual’s stock options otherwise qualifying as ISOs will be treated for tax purposes as nonqualified stock options (and not as ISOs) to the extent that, in the aggregate, they first become exercisable in any calendar year for stock having a fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) in excess of $100,000.

If, however, an optionee disposes of a share acquired on exercise of an ISO before the end of the Required Holding Period (a “Disqualifying Disposition”), the optionee generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of the Disqualifying Disposition equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the share on the date the ISO was exercised over the exercise price. If, however, the Disqualifying Disposition is a sale or exchange on which a loss, if realized, would be recognized for Federal income tax purposes, and if the sales proceeds are less than the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the option, the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee will not exceed the gain, if any, realized on the sale. If the amount realized on a Disqualifying Disposition exceeds the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the option, that excess will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on whether the holding period for the share exceeds one year.

36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An optionee who exercises an ISO by delivering shares of our Common Stock acquired previously pursuant to the exercise of an ISO before the expiration of the Required Holding Period for those shares is treated as making a Disqualifying Disposition of those shares. This rule prevents “pyramiding” in connection with the exercise of an ISO (that is, exercising an ISO for one share and using that share, and others so acquired, to exercise successive ISOs) without the imposition of current income tax.

For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the amount by which the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock acquired on exercise of an ISO exceeds the exercise price of that option generally will be an adjustment included in the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income for the year in which the option is exercised. If, however, there is a Disqualifying Disposition of the share in the year in which the option is exercised, there will be no adjustment with respect to that share. If there is a Disqualifying Disposition in a later year, no income with respect to the Disqualifying Disposition is included in the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income for that year. In computing alternative minimum taxable income, the tax basis of a share acquired on exercise of an ISO is increased by the amount of the adjustment taken into account with respect to that share for alternative minimum tax purposes in the year the option is exercised.

We are not allowed an income tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an ISO or the disposition of a share acquired on exercise of an ISO after the Required Holding Period. However, if there is a Disqualifying Disposition of a share, RTR is allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income includible in income by the optionee; provided that the deduction is not otherwise disallowed under the Code.

Stock Appreciation Rights

A recipient who is granted a SAR generally will not recognize ordinary income upon receipt of the SAR. Rather, at the time of exercise of such SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes in an amount equal to the value of any cash received and the fair market value on the date of exercise of any stock received. We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at such time and in the same amount, if any, that the participant recognizes as ordinary income; provided that the deduction is not otherwise disallowed under the Code. The participant’s tax basis in any stock received upon exercise of a SAR will be the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise, and if the shares are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount received upon such sale or exchange and the fair market value of such stock on the date of exercise will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the participant) depending upon the length of time such stock were held by the participant.

Restricted Stock; Restricted Stock Units

Generally, the recipient of a stock award will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time the stock is received equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock received over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock. If, however, the stock is non-vested when it is received under the Amended Plan (for example, if the employee is required to work for a period of time in order to have the right to sell the stock), the recipient generally will not recognize income until the stock becomes vested, at which time the recipient will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date it becomes vested over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock. If permitted by the plan administrator, a recipient may, however, file an election with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of his or her receipt of the stock award, to recognize ordinary compensation income, as of the date the recipient receives the award, equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date the award is granted over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock.

The recipient’s basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of shares acquired as stock awards will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized either when the stock is received or when the stock becomes vested. Upon the disposition of any stock received as a stock award under the Amended Plan the difference between the sale price and the recipient’s basis in the shares will be treated as a capital gain or loss and generally will be characterized as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more the one year from the date as of which he or she would be required to recognize any compensation income.

We will be allowed a corresponding Federal income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the recipient; provided that the deduction is not otherwise disallowed under the Code.

37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Generally, the grant of RSUs (including PSUs) will not result in income for the participant or in a tax deduction for us. Upon the settlement of such an award in stock or cash, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the aggregate value of the payment received, and we generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount.

Stock Payments, Other Incentive Awards and Cash Awards

With respect to other awards granted under the Amended Plan, including stock bonuses, other stock-based awards and cash awards, generally when the participant receives payment with respect to an award, the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any stock or other property received will be ordinary income to the participant, and we generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount; provided that the deduction is not otherwise disallowed under the Code.

Dividend Equivalents

Generally, the recipient of a dividend equivalents will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time the dividend equivalents are received equal to the fair market value of the dividend equivalents received. We generally will be entitled to a deduction for Federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of ordinary income that the employee is required to recognize as a result of the dividend equivalents; provided that the deduction is not otherwise disallowed under the Code.

Section 409A of the Code

Section 409A of the Code imposes requirements applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation plans,” including rules relating to the timing of deferral elections and elections with regard to the form and timing of benefit distributions, prohibitions against the acceleration of the timing of distributions, and the times when distributions may be made, as well as rules that generally prohibit the funding of nonqualified deferred compensation plans in offshore trusts or upon the occurrence of a change in the employer’s financial health. These rules generally apply with respect to deferred compensation that becomes earned and vested on or after January 1, 2005. If a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A fails to meet, or is not operated in accordance with, these requirements, then all compensation deferred under the plan is or becomes immediately taxable to the extent that it is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and was not previously taxable. The tax imposed as a result of these rules would be increased by interest at a rate equal to the rate imposed upon tax underpayments plus one percentage point, and an additional tax equal to 20% of the compensation required to be included in income.

Some of the awards to be granted under the Amended Plan may constitute deferred compensation subject to the Section 409A requirements, including, without limitation, deferred stock. It is intended that any award agreement that will govern Awards subject to Section 409A will comply with, or be exempt from, these rules.

Section 280G of the Code

Under certain circumstances, the acceleration of vesting of equity awards in connection with a change in control could result in excess “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, which amounts may not be deductible by the Company. In addition, executives that receive such payments may be subject to a 20% excise tax (in addition to regular income taxes). The Amended Plan does not provide for any excise tax gross-ups.

Section 162(m) Deduction Limitation

In general, compensation over $1.0 million per year paid to any named executive officer (and any person who was a named executive for any year, beginning with 2017) will be nondeductible under Section 162(m) of the Code.

State and Local Income Taxes

In addition to U.S. Federal income tax, participants may also be subject to U.S. state and local taxes with respect to awards granted under the Amended Plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

New Plan Benefits under the Amended Plan

Although certain of our employees may be eligible for an Initial Grant, as described above, future awards under the Amended Plan will be made at the discretion of, and subject to the consideration, review and approval of, the plan administrator and, accordingly, are not yet determinable. In addition, awards under the Amended Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that are outstanding immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. Consequently, it is not possible at this time to determine the benefits that might be received by participants under the Amended Plan. Similarly, had the Amended Plan been in place during fiscal year 2024, the amount of benefits that would have been provided to participants under the Amended Plan is not determinable at this time given the unique nature of the adoption of the Amended Plan in connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

Additional Information Regarding the Amended Plan

The following table lists each of our named executive officers, each current non-executive officer director, all current executive officers as a group, all current non-employee directors as a group, each associate of the foregoing persons, each other person who received at least 5% of the awards under the Amended Plan, and all current employees of RTR (other than executive officers) as a group, indicating the aggregate number of options and RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan to each of the foregoing since the inception of the 2021 Plan. The fair market value per share of Class A Common Stock on September 5, 2025, was $6.06.

(1)
Includes shares subject to outstanding awards granted, of which 33,538 shares of Class A Common Stock are subject to outstanding options, 333,263 shares of Class A Common Stock are subject to outstanding RSUs, and 636 shares of Class B Common Stock are subject to outstanding RSUs.

(2)
The weighted average exercise price is calculated based solely on the exercise prices of the outstanding options and does not reflect the shares that will be issued upon the vesting of outstanding RSUs, which have no exercise price.

(3)
Consists of shares available for future issuance under the Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). As of January 31, 2025, 387,147 shares of Class A Common Stock and 636 shares of Class B Common Stock were available for issuance under the 2021 Plan, and 43,515 shares of Class A Common Stock were available for issuance under the ESPP. There was no ESPP purchase period in effect as of January 31, 2025 and as a result there were no rights to purchase shares under the ESPP outstanding as of January 31, 2025.

Our 2021 Plan and ESPP each contain an “evergreen” provision, which allow for an annual increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the respective plan on the first day of each year commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on and including January 1, 2031. Prior to the effective date of the Amended Plan, the number of shares under the 2021 Plan increased by 5% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Board. As of the effective date of the Amended Plan, the 2021 Plan will no longer be subject to an evergreen provision. The number of shares under the ESPP shall be increased by 1% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares determined by the Board. The Amended Plan does not contain an evergreen provision.

No further shares are available for issuance under the 2019 Plan or the 2009 Plan.

(4)
Includes the 2021 Plan, the ESPP, the 2019 Plan, and the 2009 Plan.

Reasons for Seeking Stockholder Approval

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. In order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules, including, but not limited to, Rule 5635(c), we are seeking stockholder approval of the Amended Plan.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when a stock option or purchase plan is to be established or materially amended, pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees or consultants.

The Exchange Agreement requires that we take all actions that may be required to increase the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan to the extent required to issue Awards (as defined in the Amended Plan) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended Plan. Therefore, the Plan Amendment Proposal requires stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c).

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to hold a meeting of our stockholders for the purpose of obtaining such stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c). The Special Meeting is intended to satisfy such obligation.

41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Approval of the Plan Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes). Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Consequences if Stockholder Approval Is Not Obtained

If the Plan Amendment Proposal is not approved, the Exchange Agreement will be terminated in accordance with its terms, we will not be able to enter into the New Credit Agreement, and we may default under the Existing Credit Agreement. Such default would allow Agent to accelerate repayment of all obligations and exercise all other rights and remedies available under the Existing Credit Agreement. As a result, a default would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we would likely be unable to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection or have an involuntary bankruptcy case filed against us. We therefore strongly believe that it is critical that you vote “FOR” the Plan Amendment Proposal.

THE BOARD, ACTING UPON THE UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION OF THE FINANCE

COMMITTEE, RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proposal No. 4

The Charter Amendment Proposal

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the amendment and restatement of our Twelfth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Board has adopted and declared advisable such amendment and restatement of our Twelfth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to facilitate the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions.

The Charter Amendment

Upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions, the Investor Group is expected to collectively own 86% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (after giving effect to the Conversions, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the increased share reserve under the Amended Plan). In recognition of this fact, Lender and the Company have agreed that the Company will amend and restate its Twelfth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to include the provisions described below (the “Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”).

The Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes amendments to, among other things:

(i)
eliminate the Class B Common Stock;

(ii)
eliminate the Preferred Stock;

(iii)
eliminate supermajority voting requirements;

(iv)
set forth certain director appointment rights;

(v)
establish revised quorum requirements for meetings of the Board;

(vi)
permit stockholders holding at least 40% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding Common Stock to call special meetings of stockholders of the Company;

(vii)
provide for stockholders to take action by written consent without a meeting;

(viii)
provide for officer exculpation as permitted by Delaware law; and

(ix)
make certain changes that are consistent with the Investor Rights Agreement, which takes effect upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

This summary description of the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the complete text of the proposed amendments that are set forth in the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit E as a redline against the Twelfth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in order to reflect the proposed changes contemplated by the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, we expect that the Board will adopt certain conforming changes to the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) (which do not require stockholder approval), with

43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

such other changes as the Board may approve that are consistent with the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved, we expect that the Board will still adopt certain changes to the Bylaws in connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will become effective after the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; provided that the stockholders approve the Required Proposals.

Reasons for Seeking Stockholder Approval

The Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee, has determined that it is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, and resolved to recommend that the stockholders vote, to amend and restate its existing Twelfth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In connection with the Exchange Agreement, all of the Proxy Stockholders executed and delivered Conversion Notices, pursuant to which each Proxy Stockholder opted to convert his, her or its respective shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock effective immediately prior to (A) the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Charter, or (B) if the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. As of the Record Date, the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Common Stock held by the Proxy Stockholders was 45.2% of the total voting power of all shares of Common Stock.

The Exchange Agreement requires that we use reasonable best efforts to seek approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we agreed to hold a meeting of our stockholders for the purpose of obtaining such stockholder approval. The Special Meeting is intended to satisfy such obligation.

Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock voting separately as a class, and (ii) two-thirds of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

Consequences if Stockholder Approval Is Not Obtained

While approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal by our stockholders is not a condition of the Recapitalization Transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, certain of the changes contained in the proposed Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are consistent with the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, which takes effect upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. If the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Company will intend to seek approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal at a future meeting of stockholders, which would result in additional unnecessary cost and expense to the Company.

Proposal No. 5

The Adjournment Proposal

The Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Finance Committee, believes that, if the number of votes cast in favor of Proposals No. 1, 2, 3 or 4 is insufficient to approve such proposals, it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or time if necessary in order to enable the Company to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional votes to approve such proposals. In addition, pursuant to Section 2.05 of Article II of our Bylaws, the chairperson of the Special Meeting will have the concurrent authority to approve an adjournment.

In this Proposal No. 5, we are asking stockholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Board to vote in favor of adjourning the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof to enable the Board to solicit additional proxies. If our stockholders approve this proposal, we could adjourn the Special Meeting, and any adjourned session of the Special Meeting to a later date or time in order to use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposals No. 1, 2, 3 or 4, including the solicitation of proxies from stockholders that previously returned executed proxies voting against Proposals No. 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes present and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal, and broker non-votes (if any) will have no effect on this proposal.

Interests of RTR’s

Non-Employee Directors

and Executive Officers

In considering the recommendations of the Board with respect to the Recapitalization Transactions, our stockholders should be aware that our non-employee directors and executive officers have certain interests, including financial interests, in the Recapitalization Transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. The Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the Exchange Agreement. These interests are described in more detail below, and certain of them are quantified in the narrative and tables below.

Our current non-employee directors are as follows:

Name

Tim Bixby

Jennifer Fleiss

Scott Friend

Beth Kaplan

Mike Roth

Daniel Rosensweig

Although the SEC disclosure rules require disclosure of any substantial interest of each non-employee director who served on the Board at any time since the beginning of fiscal year 2024, the Board is not aware of any substantial interest regarding the Recapitalization Transactions with respect to the following former non-employee directors of the Board: Emil Michael, Gwyneth Paltrow, Melanie Harris, Dan Nova and Carley Roney. Any reference to “non-employee director” in this Proxy Statement shall be a reference to our current non-employee directors set forth in the table above and shall not include any former non-employee director of the Company.

Our current executive officers are as follows:

	Name			Position
	Jennifer Hyman			Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer & President, Chair
	Sid Thacker			Chief Financial Officer
	Drew Rau			Chief Supply Chain Officer
	Cara Schembri			Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, Secretary

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any reference to “executive officer” in this Proxy Statement shall be a reference to our current executive officers set forth in the table above and shall not include any of our former executive officers. Our current named executive officers (“NEOs”) are Ms. Hyman, Mr. Thacker and Ms. Tam.

Certain Assumptions

Except as otherwise specifically noted, for purposes of quantifying the potential payments and benefits described in this section, the following assumptions were used:

• the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions occurs during fiscal year 2025;

• each executive officer experiences a termination without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable plan or agreement) immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions;

• the total equity value for each of our non-employee directors is based on the individual’s outstanding equity awards as of September 5, 2025, and a price per share of $8.48, which represents the implied conversion price in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions;

• the base salary and annual target bonus of each of our executive officers remains unchanged from those in place as of September 5, 2025;

• the calculations in this section do not include amounts to which the non-employee directors and executive officers were already entitled to receive or that were vested as of September 5, 2025; and

• these amounts do not forecast any additional equity award grants, issuances, vestings or forfeitures that may occur prior to the completion of the Recapitalization Transactions.

As a result of the foregoing assumptions, which may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described in this section, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by our non-employee directors and executive officers may materially differ from the amounts set forth below.

Initial Grants under the Amended Plan

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Ms. Hyman will be eligible to receive an Initial Grant pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended Plan. Ms. Hyman’s Initial Grant will be equal to 5% of the fully diluted Class A Common Stock immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (assuming “good” level of performance is achieved, and up to 7.5% if maximum level of performance is achieved). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company is required to issue the Initial Grant to Ms. Hyman no later than 30 days following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. In addition, following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, Ms. Hyman will recommend that the Board issue an Initial Grant to our other executive officers and employees. The total number of shares of Common Stock available to be issued to employees at or above the level of vice president who are not members of the Board following the Recapitalization Transactions, including our executive officers but excluding Ms. Hyman, will be equal to 6% of the fully diluted Class A Common Stock immediately following closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (assuming “good” level of performance is achieved and up to 9% if maximum level of performance is achieved).

In order to receive an Initial Grant, our executive officers, including Ms. Hyman, must agree to forfeit any equity awards outstanding as of immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

Each Initial Grant will be made in the form of RSUs with the remaining 50% of the Class A Common Stock subject to each Initial Grant being made in the form of PSUs. The RSUs subject to each Initial Grant will vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 75% on a quarterly basis thereafter through the fourth anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to the executive officer’s continued employment over the four-year period following the grant date. The PSUs subject to each Initial Grant will vest based on the satisfaction of performance metrics established for each performance period, with the first performance period comprising the Company’s fiscal year 2027, the second performance period comprising the Company’s fiscal year 2028, and the third performance period comprising the Company’s fiscal year 2029, subject to the executive officer’s continued employment through the last day of the third performance period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If any of our executive officers experience a termination of employment without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable plan or arrangement) at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, the first tranche of RSUs subject to the Initial Grant will vest as of the executive officer’s employment termination date, with the remaining RSUs and PSUs subject to the Initial Grant being cancelled. In addition, if the Company does not issue Ms. Hyman her Initial grant within 60 days of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, then Ms. Hyman will be entitled to resign from employment and receive one or more cash payments from the Company equal to the value of the shares of Class A Common Stock she would have received if the Company had granted the RSUs and PSUs in accordance with the Exchange Agreement and then terminated her employment without cause immediately thereafter.

Because the fully diluted Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions cannot be determined as of the date of this Proxy Statement, we have not quantified the value of Ms. Hyman’s Initial Grant. In addition, because the Board has not approved Initial Grants to be issued to our other executive officers, we have not quantified the value of any Initial Grant that could be made to our other executive officers.

Treatment of RTR Restricted Stock Units and Stock Options

Treatment of Restricted Stock Units held by the RTR’s Non-Employee Directors

Pursuant to the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (the “Non-Employee Director Compensation Program”), upon a “change in control” (as defined in the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program and which includes the Recapitalization Transactions), all outstanding RSUs that are held by our non-employee directors as of immediately prior to the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions will fully vest.

Treatment of Restricted Stock Units and Stock Options held by the RTR’s Executive Officers

As more fully described in the section entitled “Initial Grants under the Amended Plan”, Ms. Hyman and each of our other executive officers who becomes eligible to receive an Initial Grant must agree to forfeit all of their outstanding equity awards as of immediately prior to the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions in order to receive their Initial Grant. Although Initial Grants for executive officers other than Ms. Hyman have not been finalized, this Proxy Statement assumes that each executive officer will receive an Initial Grant and that they will each agree to forfeit all of their equity awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the Recapitalization Transactions, including any RSUs and options to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Stock Options”).

Based on the assumptions described above under “—Certain Assumptions” and those described in the footnotes to the table below, the following table sets forth the number of unvested RSUs held by our non-employee directors as of September 5, 2025, and the estimated value our non-employee directors would receive for their unvested RSUs in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions based on a price per share of $8.48, which represents the implied conversion price in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions. As noted above, this Proxy Statement assumes that each executive officer will be eligible for an Initial Grant and that they will each agree to forfeit any RSUs and Stock Options held by them as of immediately prior to the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. Accordingly, the table below does not reflect any unvested RSUs and unvested Stock Options held by our executive officers as of September 5, 2025. In addition, as noted above in the section entitled “—Certain Assumptions”, the below table does not forecast any additional equity award grants, issuances, vestings, or forfeitures that may occur prior to completion of the Recapitalization Transactions, and does not reflect the number of RSUs or PSUs that may be granted to our executive officers as Initial Grants.

Amounts in this column reflect the aggregate value of each non-employee director’s outstanding RSUs as of September 5, 2025, which is equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the RSU by $8.48, which represents the implied conversion price in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions.

Severance Benefits

Ms. Hyman Amended Employment Agreement

In connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, Ms. Hyman and the Company entered into an amendment to her employment agreement (the “Amended Employment Agreement”) providing for a reduction in the amount of cash severance Ms. Hyman is eligible for upon a termination of her employment without cause, or due to death or disability, or a resignation for good reason. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement, if Ms. Hyman’s employment is terminated without cause or, in specified cases, if she resigns for good reason during the one-year period following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, then she will be eligible for the following severance payments and benefits (subject to her execution of a release of claims):

• Cash severance in an amount equal to 1.5x her then-current annual base salary plus annual target bonus opportunity, payable in ratable installments over an 18-month period; and

• Company-paid premiums under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“Benefit Continuation”) for up to 18 months.

Amended and Restated Severance Plan

Each of our executive officers other than Ms. Hyman is a participant in the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”). In the event that any of our executive officers who participates in the Severance Plan experiences a termination of employment without cause or resigns for good reason, in each case, during the period commencing 3 months prior to the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions and ending 12 months after the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, then the executive officer will be eligible for the following severance payments and benefits (subject to their execution of a release of claims):

• Cash severance in an amount equal to either 0.5x or 1.0x their then-current annual base salary and annual bonus opportunity (based on the greater of target or actual level of performance), payable in a lump sum; and

• Benefit Continuation for up to either 6 months or 12 months.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An estimate of the value of the severance payments and benefits described above that would become payable or provided to each of our executive officers under the Amended Employment Agreement, or the Severance Plan (as applicable) upon a termination of employment without cause or a resignation for good reason at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions assuming that the Recapitalization Transaction closes in fiscal year 2025, is set forth in the table that follows. The amounts displayed in the following table for our non-NEO executive officers are provided in the aggregate.

Amounts in this row reflect the aggregate amount of cash severance and benefits continuation payable to or on behalf of our non-NEO executive officers in connection with their termination of employment without cause or a resignation for good reason at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

Transaction Bonus Plan

Each of our executive officers is a participant in the Company’s Transaction Bonus Plan, as amended (the “Transaction Bonus Plan”), pursuant to which each executive officer will be eligible to receive a transaction bonus (each, a “Transaction Bonus”).

Each executive officer’s Transaction Bonus will be paid 25% at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (the “Closing Installment”), 6.25% on the 18-month, 24-month, 30-month and 36-month anniversaries of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (each, a “Semi-Annual Installment”), with the final 50% (the “Final Installment”) becoming payable on the earlier of January 31, 2030, and the date of a change in control (which does not include the Recapitalization Transactions), in the case of the Final Installment, based on the satisfaction of financial or stock price-based performance measures (as applicable), provided that the executive officer remains employed through the date each Transaction Bonus installment is paid. The Closing Installment and each Semi-Annual Installment are subject to repayment to the Company, net of taxes paid with respect thereto, if the executive officer terminates their employment prior to the applicable vesting date other than due to a termination of employment without cause, or due to death or disability, or a resignation for good reason. The Closing Installment will vest 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, the first Semi-Annual Installment will vest 33% on each of the second, third and fourth anniversary of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, the second and third Semi-Annual Installments will each vest 50% on each of the third and fourth anniversary of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, and the fourth Semi-Annual Installment will fully vest on the fourth anniversary of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

If our executive officers each experience a termination of employment without cause or they resign for good reason at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, each executive officer will be entitled to retain their respective Closing Installment and will forfeit each Semi-Annual Installment and the Final Installment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Based on the assumptions described above under “—Certain Assumptions” and those described in the footnotes to the table below, the below table sets forth the total amount of each executive officer’s Transaction Bonus and the value of their Closing Installment that will accelerate and vest if their employment is terminated without cause or they resign for good reason at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. The amounts displayed in the following table for our non-NEO executive officers are provided in the aggregate.

	Name			Transaction Bonus Amount ($)			Accelerated Transaction Bonus ($)(1)
	Jennifer Hyman			6,350,000			1,587,500
	Sid Thacker			1,437,500			359,375
	Sarah Tam			1,262,500			315,625
	Non-NEO Executive Officers(2)			2,137,500			534,375

(1)
Amounts in this column reflect the value of the portion of each executive officer’s Transaction Bonus entitlement that will accelerate and vest if their employment terminates due to a termination of employment without cause or a resignation for good reason at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (i.e., each executive officer’s Closing Installment). Any portion of the Transaction Bonus that was not paid as of the executive officer’s termination of employment will be forfeited as of their employment termination date (i.e., each executive officer’s Semi-Annual Installments and Final Installment if the termination of employment occurs at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions).

(2)
Amounts in this row reflect the aggregate amount of our non-NEO executive officers’ Transaction Bonus and the portion that will accelerate and become payable to our non-NEO executive officers in connection with their termination of employment without cause or a resignation for good reason at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

Retention Bonus Plan

On February 27, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved a cash retention bonus program in respect of fiscal year 2025 (the “Retention Bonus Program”). The Retention Bonus Program generally provides that each executive officer will be eligible for a cash payment based (the “Retention Bonus”) (i) 50% on pre-determined Company performance metrics set by the Compensation Committee relating to growth in the Company’s active subscribers, and (ii) 50% on the executive officer’s continued employment through the end of each applicable fiscal quarter. However, if any executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause following the occurrence of a “transaction” (as defined in the Transaction Bonus Plan and which includes the Recapitalization Transactions), then, subject to satisfaction of a release of claims requirement, the executive officer will be eligible to receive 25% of the total target amount of their Retention Bonus (the “Accelerated Retention Bonus Amount”). The Accelerated Retention Bonus Amount for our executive officers, assuming that they experience a termination of employment without cause at the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, is as follows: for Ms. Hyman, $375,000; for Mr. Thacker, $105,000; for Ms. Tam $105,000, and for our non-NEO executive officers in the aggregate, $158,750.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners, Directors, and Management

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of September 5, 2025, for:

• each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Class A Common Stock or our Class B Common Stock;

• each of our directors;

• each of our named executive officers; and

• all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 3,941,332 shares of Class A Common Stock and 155,699 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding on September 5, 2025. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock subject to options, or other rights held by such person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of September 5, 2025 and shares of RSUs that are vested or will become vested within 60 days of September 5, 2025, are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of all listed stockholders is our principal executive offices located at 10 Jay Street, Brooklyn, New York 11201.

Additional Information

Solicitation of Proxies

The expense of printing and mailing proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. We are soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board and will pay the related costs. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by our directors, officers and other employees by personal interview, e-mail or telephone. No additional compensation will be paid to our directors, officers or employees for such solicitation. Arrangements may also be made with brokers, banks, trustees and nominees for the forwarding of material to, and solicitation of proxies from, the beneficial owners of our securities held of record at the close of business on the Record Date by such persons. We will reimburse such brokers, banks, trustees and nominees and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners of our common stock.

The Company intends to use the services of D.F. King to assist in the solicitation of proxies and expects to pay market rates for such services, with an estimated fee of approximately $12,500, including expenses. As the Special Meeting approaches, certain stockholders may receive a telephone call from a representative of D.F. King if the stockholder’s votes have not yet been received.

(b) No Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by Lender in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any Transaction Document or the consummation of the Transactions, other than (i) the filing with the SEC of such reports under Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions, (ii) any Consents, registrations, declarations or filings required to be obtained or made as a result of the identity, nature, business or operations of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and (iii) such other items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Lender Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.04 Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Lender, threatened in writing against Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the directors or officers of Lender or any of its Subsidiaries in their capacity as such, which, in any such case, has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Lender Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.06 Independent Investigation. Lender acknowledges that (i) it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Documents and has been afforded (A) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, Representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Exchange Stock and the merits and risks of acquiring the Exchange Stock; (B) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (C) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment, and (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon any statement, representation or warranty made by any Person (including any of the Company’s financial advisors or other Representatives), other than such statements, representations and warranties of the Company expressly contained in this Agreement, and based on

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and only at a time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company may (i) make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event, (ii) make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal, or (iii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) in response to a Superior Proposal in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for such Superior Proposal, but in each case only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the Company or the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal after the Effective Date that was not solicited in breach of Section 5.02(a) and did not, directly or indirectly, otherwise result from a breach of Section 5.02(a) in any material respect (in the case of the preceding clause (ii) or clause (iii)), or an Intervening Event has occurred (in the case of the preceding clause (i)); (B) in light of such Superior Proposal (in the case of the preceding clause (ii) or clause (iii)) or such Intervening Event (in the case of the preceding clause (i)), as the case may be, the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Finance Committee) or the Finance Committee shall have determined in their good faith judgment (after consultation with and after receipt of advice from outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change (in the case of the preceding clause (i) or clause (ii)) or to terminate this Agreement (in the case of the preceding clause (iii)) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law (any such determination, a “Withdrawal Determination”); (C) the Company has notified Lender in

A-31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

writing that it has made a Withdrawal Determination (any such notice, a “Triggering Notice”) and provided Lender un-redacted copies of the documents and/or agreements providing for the Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.02(e); (D) at least five (5) Business Days shall have passed following receipt by Lender of the Triggering Notice (such time period, the “Notice Period”), and during the Notice Period, if requested by Lender, the Company shall have negotiated in good faith with Lender to permit Lender to make a proposal to amend the terms of the Transactions or this Agreement; (E) at the end of the Notice Period, and taking into account any written proposals through the end of the Notice Period to amend the terms of the Transactions or this Agreement made by Lender since receipt of the Triggering Notice (a “Lender Proposal”), such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and the Company Board or the Finance Committee, as applicable, has again made a Withdrawal Determination in response to such Superior Proposal or such Intervening Event is continuing and the Company Board or the Finance Committee, as applicable, has again made a Withdrawal Determination in response to such Intervening Event, as the case may be, in each case after consultation with and after receipt of advice from outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation that failure to make such Withdrawal Determination would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law (it being understood and agreed that if, in light of any Lender Proposal, the Company Board or the Finance Committee is no longer able to make a Withdrawal Determination with respect to such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, then Lender and the Company shall immediately enter into an amendment to this Agreement that embodies the terms of such Lender Proposal); (F) the Company is in compliance in all material respects with Section 5.02 and (G) the Company has paid the Termination Fee to Lender pursuant to Section 8.02 and promptly after such termination enters into a definitive agreement providing for such Superior Proposal, in the case of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the preceding clause (iii). The Company acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification to the financial terms or other material terms of a Takeover Proposal that is determined to be a Superior Proposal shall be deemed to constitute a new Superior Proposal, and any material change to the Intervening Event shall be deemed to constitute a new Intervening Event, in each case, for purposes of the first sentence of this Section 5.02(d) and shall require a new compliance with the first sentence of this Section 5.02(d) and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall require a new Notice Period (except that the five (5) Business Day notice period referred to in the Notice Period shall instead be equal to three (3) Business Days).

(e) The Company shall promptly (but in no event more than 24 hours after receipt thereof) advise Lender in writing of the receipt by the Company of any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to the receipt by the Company of a Takeover Proposal, the identity of the person making any such Takeover Proposal or inquiry and the terms of any such Takeover Proposal. The Company shall (i) keep Lender reasonably informed of the status including any change to the financial terms or other material terms of any such Takeover Proposal and (ii) provide to Lender, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) after receipt or delivery thereof by or to the Company or its Representatives, un-redacted copies of all offers, proposals, drafts and final versions (and any amendments thereto) of agreements and financing documents, including schedules, exhibits and side letters thereto, relating to the Takeover Proposal (including any other documents or agreements referred to in or to be entered into in connection with the Takeover Proposal) (provided that the Company may provide Lender a redacted copy of any debt commitment fee letter, to the extent un-redacted copies thereof are not made available to the Company), and other material correspondence, sent or provided to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives by the person making such Takeover Proposal or such person’s Representatives or sent or provided by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives to the person making such Takeover Proposal or such person’s Representatives.

The Company shall notify Lender promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information, and shall supply Lender with copies of all written correspondence and a summary of all material oral correspondence between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any questions or comments of the SEC or its staff with respect thereto, the Company shall (i) provide Lender and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and (ii) consider reasonably and in good faith for inclusion in such document or response all comments reasonably proposed by Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement, including reasonably promptly furnishing to the Company in writing upon request any and all information relating to Lender as may be

required to be set forth in the Proxy Statement under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) the Company assumes no responsibility with respect to information supplied in writing by or on behalf of Lender expressly provided for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement (such information, the “Lender Supplied Information”), which shall be the responsibility of Lender, and (B) Lender assumes no responsibility with respect to any information included or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement other than the Lender Supplied Information. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable after the later of (1) (x) the 10-day waiting period under Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act or (y) if earlier, the date on which the SEC confirms it will not review the Proxy Statement and (2) the date on which the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement (such later date, the “Clearance Date”), cause the Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC in definitive form and mailed to the Company Stockholders, and duly call and give notice of the Company Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval and the Amended and Restated Charter Approval.

(b) The Company shall, reasonably in advance of the Clearance Date, commence a broker search pursuant to Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act and establish (in consultation with Lender) a record date (the “Record Date”) for stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and attend, a meeting of the Company Stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) for the sole purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and the Amended and Restated Charter Approval, and voting on a proposal to adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval and the Amended and Restated Charter Approval. Once the Company has established the Record Date, the Company shall not change, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or the Company’s organizational documents (including in connection with the postponement, adjournment or rescheduling of the Company Stockholders Meeting to the extent permitted by Section 6.01(c)), the Record Date or establish a different record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and if the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that unless Lender has otherwise approved in writing (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (or as required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirement), the Company will, if reasonably possible, implement such adjournment or other delay in such a way that the Company does not need to establish a new record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting, as so adjourned or delayed). The Proxy Statement mailed to the holders of Company Common Stock shall include the Fairness Opinion in full.

(c) Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company shall convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval and the Amended and Restated Charter Approval no later than the 40^th calendar day (or, if such calendar day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day subsequent to such calendar day) after the Clearance Date. The date of the Company Stockholders Meeting shall be selected by the Company after reasonable consultation with Lender. Once the Company Stockholders Meeting has been scheduled by the Company, the Company shall not adjourn, postpone, reschedule, recess or otherwise delay the Company Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or the Company’s organizational documents; provided, however, that the Company may, and at the request of Lender it shall, adjourn, recess or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting on no more than two occasions, for no more than 10 Business Days from the prior-scheduled date on each occasion or to a date on or after the fifth (5^th) Business Day preceding the Outside Date, if Lender or the Company, respectively, reasonably believes that there will be insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) for purposes of a quorum or to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval and the Amended and Restated Charter Approval or after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel, such adjournment or postponement is required in order to disseminate material information to the Company Stockholders in connection

The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.01 (except in the case of Section 6.01(d), to the extent specifically provided in Section 6.01(d)) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company or any other person of any Takeover Proposal or the making of any Adverse Recommendation Change. The Company shall advise Lender upon request prior to the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting (and any reconvening thereof) as to the aggregate tally of proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval and the Amended and Restated Charter Approval and whether such proxies have been voted affirmatively or negatively with respect to each of the proposals to be presented at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

(e) If prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), any event occurs with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Lender, or any change occurs with respect to other information supplied by Lender or the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, which is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party of such event, and Lender and the Company shall cooperate in the filing with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable, of any necessary amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement and, as required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Rights Offering Registration Statement and for the Rights Offering Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC and its staff under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing. The Rights Offering Registration Statement shall comply as to form and in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act. The Company shall notify Lender promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Rights Offering Registration Statement or for additional information, and shall supply Lender with copies of all written correspondence and a summary of all material oral correspondence between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) the Company assumes no responsibility with respect to the Lender Supplied Information expressly provided for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Rights Offering Registration Statement, which shall be the responsibility of Lender, and (B) Lender assumes no responsibility with respect to any information included or incorporated by reference in the Rights Offering Registration Statement other than the Lender Supplied Information. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Rights Offering Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and its staff under the Securities Act, cause the final prospectus to the Rights Offering Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC and delivered to the Company Stockholders.

SECTION 6.03 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on their respective parts under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions as soon as practicable, including, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.03, preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the Exchange Transactions or any of the other Transactions, including the Third-Party Consents. Subject to applicable Laws (including relating to the exchange of information), Lender and the Company shall jointly direct all matters with any Governmental Authority consistent with their obligations hereunder; provided that, subject to applicable Law, Lender and the Company shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of Lender and the Company shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lender agrees that between the Effective Date and the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, Lender shall not assign, sell, transfer or dispose any portion of its Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement. Lender hereby agrees to execute and deliver the New Credit Agreement on the Closing Date as required under Section 7.01(e), and to provide the Restatement Date Term Loan Commitments (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms set forth in the New Credit Agreement.

(b) Status.

SECTION 6.05 Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board shall (i) take all action within its power and authority necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law or similar provision of the Company Governing Documents is or becomes applicable to the Transactions, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and (ii) if any Takeover Law becomes applicable to the Transactions, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, take all action within its power and authority necessary to ensure that the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by the Transaction Documents. No Adverse Recommendation Change shall change, or be deemed to change or permit the Company or the Company Board to change, in any manner or respect the approval of the Company Board for purposes of causing any Takeover Law to be inapplicable to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any of the Transactions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exchange Transactions).

SECTION 6.06 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any individual (i) who is or prior to the Effective Time becomes, or has been at any time prior to the Effective Date, a present or former director or officer (including any such individual serving as a fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan) of the Company or (ii) in his or her capacity as a present or former director or officer of one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date (each such individual in (i) and (ii) an “Indemnified Person”) against any costs and expenses (including advancing reasonable costs prior to the final disposition of any actual or threatened Action, whether civil, criminal or administrative (each, a “Claim”), to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and the Company Governing Documents; provided that such Indemnified Person agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, nonappealable judgment that such Indemnified Person is not ultimately entitled), judgments, fines, penalties, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with or relating to any Claim in respect of acts, omissions, facts or events occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts, omissions, facts or events occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Exchange Transactions or any of the other Transactions), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in connection with or relating to such Indemnified Person serving or having served as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any other Person if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and the Company Governing Documents or the organizational documents of the applicable Subsidiary of the Company or any indemnification agreements with such Indemnified Person in existence at or prior to the execution of this Agreement (it being agreed that after the Closing such rights shall be mandatory rather than permissive, if applicable). The Parties agree that all rights to elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts, omissions, facts or events occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the Indemnified Persons as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) or in any indemnification agreement in existence at or prior to the execution of this Agreement shall survive the Exchange Transactions and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Company shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) the Company Governing Documents and the organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries, and (ii) any indemnification agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any Indemnified Person in existence at or prior to the execution of this Agreement, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are in existence prior to the execution of this Agreement, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Person in respect of acts, omissions, facts or events occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Exchange Transactions or any of the other Transactions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase six (6) year prepaid “tail” insurance on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms substantially equivalent to the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Company shall not commit or spend on such “tail” insurance, in the aggregate, more than three hundred percent (300%) of the last aggregate annual premium incurred by the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement for the Company’s policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if such “tail” insurance is not reasonably available for a cost not exceeding the Base Amount, the Company shall be permitted to purchase as much “tail” insurance coverage as reasonably practicable for the Base Amount. The Company shall in good faith cooperate with Lender prior to the Closing with respect to the procurement of such “tail” insurance. The Company shall maintain such “tail” insurance in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time.

(d) If the Company (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the applicable successor, assign or transferee shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.06 (including this Section 6.06(d)).

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 6.06 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the Company Governing Documents and the organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries, under the DGCL or any other applicable Law, under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or otherwise. These rights shall survive the consummation of the Exchange Transactions in accordance with their terms. After the Effective Time, the covenants contained in this Section 6.06 are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. After the Effective Time, the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.06 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person. Each Indemnified Person shall be an express intended third party beneficiary of this Section 6.06.

SECTION 6.07 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions shall be a joint press release mutually agreed by the Parties (the “Initial Press Release”). Thereafter, the Parties shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and approval by the other Party, except (i) as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange (in which case,

A-39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the disclosing Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other Party prior to such disclosure), (ii) as such press release or public statement contains an Adverse Recommendation Change or occurs following the occurrence of an Adverse Recommendation Change, (iii) in respect of any press release, public statement or filing in connection with any legal proceeding between the Parties related to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, or (iv) any press releases, public disclosures or public statements that are substantially the same as the Initial Press Release or other previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Lender or the Company in compliance with this Section 6.07. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lender and its Affiliates may provide communications regarding this Agreement and the Transactions to their respective existing and prospective investors, equityholders, general or limited partners, clients, members or managers, in each case, who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions.

SECTION 6.08 Transaction Litigation. The Company shall give prompt notice to Lender, and Lender shall give prompt notice (which notice, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, may be by email to the outside counsel of each Party) to the Company, in each case, within two (2) Business Days, of any “demand letter” or Actions commenced, or, to the knowledge of such Party, threatened in writing against such Party or any of its directors, officers, stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives in connection with, arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (including any class action or derivative litigation) (“Transaction Litigation”) (including by providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) and thereafter keep the other Party promptly and reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. Lender shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation and the Company shall consult with Lender with respect to the defense, settlement, prosecution, waiver or compromise of any Transaction Litigation. For purposes of this Section 6.08, “participate” means that (i) the Company shall provide Lender (and its outside counsel) an opportunity to review and to propose comments to all filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any Transaction Litigation commenced or threatened, (ii) the Company will keep Lender reasonably apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation and (iii) the Company shall consider in good faith any comments or suggestions of Lender with respect to such Transaction Litigation. The Company shall not settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

SECTION 6.09 Percentage Ownership. The Parties intend that the Exchange Stock will collectively represent 86% of the shares of Company Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis (after giving effect to the Conversions and for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of awards in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(y)(iv)(B), if any, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the MIP) as of the Closing Date. Within seven (7) Business Days following the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Lender a written statement setting forth the total number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis as of the Closing Date together with a written certification executed by an executive officer of the Company certifying that the Exchange Stock issued on the Closing Date represented 86% of the shares of Company Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis (after giving effect to the Conversions and, for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of awards in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(y)(iv)(B), if any, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the MIP) as of the Closing Date, and shall provide reasonably detailed back up for such calculation and any other information reasonably requested by Lender and its Representatives in connection therewith. If it is determined that as of the Closing Date the Exchange Stock represented less than 86% of the shares of Company Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis (after giving effect to the Conversions and, for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of awards in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(y)(iv)(B), if any, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the MIP) as of the Closing Date, then the Company shall be obligated to issue additional whole shares of Class A Common Stock (no fractional shares will be issued) to Lender, such that the aggregate number of whole shares of Company Common Stock then held by Lender (or its Designated Affiliates) as Exchange Stock plus such additional shares would, in the aggregate, represent 86% of the then outstanding shares of Company Common

Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis (after giving effect to the issuance of the Exchange Stock and the Conversions and, for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of awards in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(y)(iv)(B), if any, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the MIP) as of the Closing Date.

SECTION 6.10 Further Assurances. Prior to and after the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of either Party, each Party will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out or consummate the Transactions. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) deliver to Lender copies of all notices sent or received by the Company under any Conversion Notice.

SECTION 6.11 Amended and Restated Charter. If the Amended and Restated Charter Approval is received at the Company Stockholders Meeting, the Company shall file the Amended and Restated Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date.

(ii) if any Legal Restraint that has the effect of preventing, prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Exchange Transactions shall have become final and nonappealable; provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(ii) shall have used the efforts required by this Agreement to remove such Legal Restraint; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(b)(ii) shall not be available to a Party if such Party breached in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have been the principal cause of the issuance or entry of such Legal Restraint; or

(iii) if the Company Stockholders Meeting (including any adjournments or postponements thereof) shall have been held and concluded and the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained;

(c) by Lender, if the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.02(b) to be satisfied and (ii) cannot be cured or has not been cured within 20 Business Days (or, if earlier, the Outside Date) after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach (provided that to exercise such right, Lender must not then be in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);

(d) by Lender, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, whether or not permitted by the terms hereof (or the Company Board, or any committee thereof, shall effect or resolve to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change);

(e) by the Company, if Lender breaches or fails to perform in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.03(a) or

Section 7.03(b) to be satisfied and (ii) cannot be cured or has not been cured within 20 Business Days (or, if earlier, the Outside Date) after the giving of written notice to Lender of such breach (provided that to exercise such right, the Company must not then be in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement);

(f) by the Company, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, pursuant to and in accordance with clause (iii) of the first sentence of Section 5.02(d) and subject to the other requirements of such Section; provided, however, that the Company shall substantially concurrently with such termination pay (or cause to be paid) to Lender the Termination Fee; or

(g) by Lender, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if a Proxy Stockholder Proxy Revocation shall have occurred, whether or not permitted by the terms hereof or the applicable Proxy (or a Proxy Stockholder shall effect or resolve to effect a Proxy Stockholder Proxy Revocation).

SECTION 8.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) Any termination of this Agreement under Section 8.01 will be effective (subject to the cure periods provided above) immediately upon the delivery of written notice of the terminating Party to the other Party of a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement by either Lender or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01, there shall be no liability or further obligation on the part of Lender or the Company or their respective Affiliates or Representatives; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 8.02 and Article IX shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect; and provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful and material breach of, or Fraud with respect to, any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination; it being acknowledged and agreed, without limitation, that any failure by any Party to consummate the Exchange Transactions after the applicable conditions thereto have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time) when required to do so will constitute a willful and material breach of this Agreement. Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither the termination of this Agreement nor the payment of the Termination Fee or the No Vote Fee, in and of itself, will constitute a Default or an Event of Default under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement by Lender shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth herein and does not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Existing Loan Document, which terms and conditions shall continue in full force and effect.

(b) Termination and No Vote Fees.

(i) The Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lender a fee of $6,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) if: (A) Lender terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d); (B) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f); or (C) a Takeover Proposal (whether or not conditional and whether or not withdrawn) has been made to the Company or to the Company Stockholders generally or shall have otherwise become publicly known and thereafter (I) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (w) Section 8.01(b)(i), (x) Section 8.01(b)(iii), (y) Section 8.01(c), or (z) Section 8.01(g), and (II) within 12 months of such termination the Company or any of its Subsidiaries consummates any Takeover Proposal or enters into a definitive agreement providing for any Takeover Proposal (in each case, whether or not such Takeover Proposal is the same as the original Takeover Proposal made or communicated or that became publicly known prior to such termination). Solely for purposes of clause (C) of the first sentence of this Section 8.02(b)(i), the term “Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning set forth in the definition of Takeover Proposal contained in Section 5.02(h) except that all references to 20% shall be deemed to be references to 50%.

A-44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii) The Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lender a fee of $2,000,000 (the “No Vote Fee”) if Lender terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(g).

(iii) Any payment or reimbursement due under this Section 8.02(b) shall be paid by wire transfer within two (2) Business Days of the date of termination of this Agreement (except that in the case of termination pursuant to clause (B) or (C) in Section 8.02(b)(i), such payment shall be made on the date of execution of the applicable definitive agreement or, if earlier, the date of the consummation of the applicable Takeover Proposal) to the account designated in writing by Lender (which account information may be updated by Lender by written notice to the Company from time to time).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b) at a time when Lender would have had the right to terminate this Agreement and would have been (or would have become) entitled to receive the Termination Fee or the No Vote Fee as a result of such termination, then Lender shall be entitled to receipt of the Termination Fee or the No Vote Fee, as applicable, that would have been (or would have subsequently become) payable had Lender terminated this Agreement at such time. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02(b) are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, Lender would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay the amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.02(b) as and when due, and, in order to obtain such payment, Lender commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the amounts set forth in this Section 8.02(b), the Company shall pay to Lender its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 8.02(b) at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) in no event will the Company be required to pay more than one Termination Fee, collectively, or one No Vote Fee, collectively, (B) in no event will the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion or the No Vote Fee on more than one occasion, in each case, whether or not the Termination Fee or No Vote Fee, as applicable, may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events or (C) if at the same time or after the Company has paid the No Vote Fee pursuant to this ‎Section 8.02(b) the Company is obligated to pay the Termination Fee, the payment of the No Vote Fee shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the payment by the Company of the Termination Fee.

(vi) In the event that this Agreement is terminated in any circumstance under which the Termination Fee or the No Vote Fee is payable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.02(b), Lender’s receipt of the Termination Fee or the No Vote Fee, as applicable, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Lender and its Affiliates, stockholders, affiliates, officers, directors, employees and other Representatives against the Company and its former, current and future directors, managers, officers, employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors, agents, other authorized representatives, unitholders, stockholders, Affiliates and assignees (collectively, but excluding Lender, the “Company Related Parties”) for any damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Closing to be consummated for any reason or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder, or for any other matter with respect to the Transactions or this Agreement and neither the Company nor any Company Related Party shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. The Company Related Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.02(b)(vi).

SECTION 8.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit of such obligation, agreement or condition. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses. Except to the extent set forth in Section 12.4 of the Existing Credit Agreement, each Party shall pay its own fees and expenses in connection with the Transactions.

SECTION 9.04 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

SECTION 9.05 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by “.pdf” format, scanned pages or electronic signature shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.06 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Transaction Documents (including the schedules and exhibits hereto), taken together with the Company Disclosure Letter, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and representations, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the Transactions. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 6.06, which is intended to benefit each Indemnified Person.

SECTION 9.07 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Company, assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Lender, so long as Lender continues to remain liable for all of such obligations as if no such assignment had occurred. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding

A-48

TABLE OF CONTENTS

anything in this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or the New Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Company hereby consents to the assignment after the Closing by Lender of New Term Loans to the Investor Group in accordance with the terms of the Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 9.08 Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims and causes of action hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

SECTION 9.09 Enforcement; Exclusive Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Subject to Section 8.02(b)(vi), the Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event a claim or action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, no Party will allege, and each Party waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy under applicable Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(b) In addition, each of the Parties (i) consents to submit itself, and hereby submits itself, to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction, any state court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction, any state court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, and (iv) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 9.02.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

SECTION 9.10 No Impairment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in this Agreement (including the termination hereof) shall affect, limit or impair the rights and remedies of Lender in its capacity as a lender to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Existing Loan Documents, any other loan agreement under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has borrowed money from such Lender or any other documents delivered in connection with or related to any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Lender nor Existing Agent, in exercising its rights as a lender or agent, will have any duty to consider the interests of the Company or any duty it may have to any direct or indirect equityholder of the Company or other Person, except as may be required under the applicable loan documents or by commercial law applicable to creditors generally.

SECTION 9.12 No Other Representations.

(a) The Company does not make, and has not made, any representations or warranties in connection with the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions other than those expressly set forth herein (as qualified by the related portions of the Company Disclosure Letter), the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to the foregoing. Except as expressly set forth herein (as qualified by the related portions of the Company Disclosure Letter), the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to the foregoing, no person has been authorized by the Company to make any representation or warranty relating to the Company or its business, or otherwise in connection with the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions, and, if made, such representation or warranty may not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. With respect to Lender, the Company is not relying on any representations or warranties of Lender, or the accuracy or completeness thereof, except as set forth in Article IV, the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to the foregoing.

(b) Lender does not make, and has not made, any representations or warranties in connection with the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions other than those expressly set forth

herein, the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered by Lender pursuant to the foregoing. Except as expressly set forth herein, the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered by Lender pursuant to the foregoing, no person has been authorized by Lender to make any representation or warranty relating to Lender or its business, or otherwise in connection with the Exchange Transactions and the other Transactions, and, if made, such representation or warranty may not be relied upon as having been authorized by Lender. With respect to the Company, Lender, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, is not relying on any representations or warranties of the Company, or the accuracy or completeness thereof, except as set forth in Article III, the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered by Lender pursuant to the foregoing.

(c) In connection with Lender’s investigation of the Company, Lender has received from the Company and its Representatives certain projections and other forecasts and certain business plan information of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Lender acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections and other forecasts and plans and accordingly is not relying on them, that Lender is familiar with such uncertainties, that Lender is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, and that Lender and its Representatives will have no claim against any person with respect thereto. Accordingly, Lender acknowledges that, without limiting the generality of this Section 9.12(c), neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has made any representation or warranty with respect to such projections and other forecasts and plans. Lender acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to conduct an independent investigation regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

The Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Reference Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.

such qualification) as of the date of the making of such Loan to the same extent as though made on and as of that date (both before and immediately after giving effect to such Loan), except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” in the text thereof, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualification) on and as of such earlier date.

Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent on such Credit Date and the Agent may but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the customary rate set by the Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the rate specified in Section 2.6(a).

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder (including the Prepayment Premium), shall thereafter automatically bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws), from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (“Post-Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.6(d) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.

2.7 Optional Prepayments.

(b) All such prepayments shall be made upon not less than 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree in writing in its sole discretion) prior written notice to the Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date required. Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Term Loan specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein.

Subject to the terms of the Specified Subordination Agreement, no later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt by any Credit Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales (excluding Asset Sales permitted under Section 7.4 other than Section 7.4(n)) in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.9(a) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower has delivered the Agent prior written notice of the Borrower’s intention to apply such monies (the “Reinvestment Amounts”) to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Borrower, (iii) the monies are held in a deposit account in which the Agent has a perfected security interest, and (iv) the Borrower completes such replacement, purchase, or construction within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies, the Borrower shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Borrower unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be paid to the Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.9(a). Nothing contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall permit the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of any assets other than in accordance with Section 7.4.

(b) Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Specified Subordination Agreement, no later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt by any Credit Party, or the Agent as loss payee, of any Net Cash Proceeds from insurance or any condemnation, taking or other casualty in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower has delivered the Agent prior written notice of the Borrower’s intention to apply the Reinvestment Amounts to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the

B-34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

subject of such condemnation, taking or other casualty or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Borrower, (iii) the monies are held in a deposit account in which the Agent has a perfected security interest, and (iv) the Borrower completes such replacement, purchase, or construction within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies, the Borrower shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the assets that are the subject of such condemnation, taking or other casualty or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Borrower unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be paid to the Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.9(a).

(c) Issuance of Debt. Subject to the terms of the Specified Subordination Agreement, on the date of receipt by any Credit Party of any cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Debt of any Credit Party (other than with respect to any Debt permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.1), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.9(a) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, in each case, paid to non-Affiliates, including reasonable legal fees and expenses.

(d) Prepayment Notice and Certificate.

(i) The Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of the anticipated date of any prepayment of the Loans (which notice is not required to include the amount of such prepayment) pursuant to Sections 2.8(a) through 2.8(c) at least 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Borrower and Agent may agree) prior to such prepayment.

(ii) Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.8(a) through 2.8(c), the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable cash proceeds and compensation owing to Lenders under the Fee Letter. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

2.9 Application of Payments.

(a) (i) Any prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 and (ii) except in connection with any Waivable Mandatory Prepayment provided for in Section 2.9(b), so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, any mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.8, in each case, shall be applied to ratably prepay the principal of the Term Loan until paid in full.

(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing of the amount of such prepayment by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, and the Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to decline such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Agent of its election to do so on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Borrower and the Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable

B-35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.9(a)), and (ii) to the extent of any excess, to the Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes.

(c) At any time an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, all payments shall be applied pursuant to Section 9.2. Nothing contained herein shall modify the provisions of the Fee Letter or Section 9.1(c) regarding the requirement that all prepayments be accompanied by accrued interest and fees and premiums (including the Prepayment Premium) on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of such prepayment, or any requirement otherwise contained herein to pay all other amounts as the same become due and payable.

2.10 Use of Proceeds of Loans. The proceeds of the Restatement Date Term Loan made on the Restatement Date shall be used by the Borrower for general working capital purposes of the Borrower and to pay fees and expenses related to this Agreement and the Restatement Date Transactions.

2.11 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Subject to Section 2.11(b), the Borrower may by written notice to Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more Incremental Term Loan commitments (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”), in an aggregate amount of up to $10,000,000. Each such notice shall specify the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 30 days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Agent. The opportunity to commit to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be offered by the Borrower to any Eligible Incremental Lenders. To the extent any Eligible Incremental Lenders have provided a commitment to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall provide a copy of such commitment letter to the Agent for distribution to the existing Lenders and offer the existing Lenders the opportunity to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment on the same terms as set forth in such commitment letter (the date the Agent receives such commitment letter, the “Notice Date”). If the existing Lenders have not agreed in writing to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment within 15 days of the Notice Date, then the Eligible Incremental Lenders may provide the Incremental Term Loan Commitment on the terms of such commitment letter and subject to this Section 2.11. Any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment.

(b) Such Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date, subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(i) [reserved];

(ii) the Agent has obtained the commitment of one or more Incremental Term Loan Lenders to provide the applicable Incremental Term Loan and any such Incremental Term Loan Lenders, the Borrower and the Agent have signed an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to which such Incremental Term Loan Lenders agree to make, subject to the terms of this Agreement, a term loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment and to otherwise evidence such Incremental Term Loan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (each, a “Joinder Agreement”);

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date;

(iv) the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” in the text thereof, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualification) as of such Increased Amount Date to the same extent as though made on and as of that date (both before and immediately after giving effect to such

B-36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Loan), except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” in the text thereof, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualification) on and as of such earlier date; and

(v) the Borrower shall have reached agreement with the lenders making the Incremental Term Loan (the “Incremental Term Loan Lenders”) with respect to the interest margins applicable to such Incremental Term Loan (which interest margins may be higher than, equal to, or lower than the interest margins applicable to the Term Loan set forth in this Agreement immediately prior to the date of the making of such Incremental Term Loan, as applicable) and shall have communicated the amount of such interest margins to the Agent. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, if the all in yield (including interest margins, interest floors, original issue discount, closing fees or other similar yield related discounts based on an assumed four-year to life maturity, but excluding any arrangement, underwriting or similar fees that are not shared with all of the Lenders or prospective lenders) (the “All In Yield”) that is to be applicable to such Incremental Term Loan is 50 basis points or more higher than the All In Yield applicable to the Term Loans hereunder immediately prior to the applicable Increased Amount Date (the amount by which the interest margins are higher, the “Excess”), then the All In Yield applicable to each applicable Class of Term Loans immediately prior to the Increased Amount Date shall be increased by the amount of the Excess minus 50 basis points, effective on the applicable Increased Amount Date, and without the necessity of any action by any party hereto.

(c) The Incremental Term Loan Lender shall make an Incremental Term Loan subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall have been satisfied on the applicable Credit Date; and

(ii) any such Incremental Term Loan shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 above such amount (except, in each case, such minimum amount and integral multiples amount shall not apply when the Borrower uses all of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments available at such time).

(d) On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any tranche are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Term Loan Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto. Any Incremental Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate Class for all purposes of this Agreement.

(e) The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in a Joinder Agreement, identical to the Term Loan immediately prior to the making of such Incremental Term Loan. Each such Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.11. All Incremental Term Loans shall be secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Loans, shall not be secured by a Lien on any assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor not constituting Collateral and shall not be guaranteed by any person other than the Guarantors.

2.12 SOFR Option.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to have interest on all or a portion of the Loans be charged at a rate of interest based upon Adjusted Term SOFR (the “SOFR Option”) by notifying

B-37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior to (i) the proposed borrowing date of a Loan (as provided in Section 2.3), (ii) in the case of the conversion of a Reference Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan, the commencement of the proposed Interest Period or (iii) in the case of the continuation of a SOFR Loan as a SOFR Loan, the last day of the then current Interest Period (the “SOFR Deadline”). Notice of the Borrower’s election of the SOFR Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be made by delivery to the Agent of (A) a Request for Loan (in the case of the initial making of a Loan) in accordance with Section 2.3 or (B) a SOFR Notice prior to the SOFR Deadline. Promptly upon its receipt of each such SOFR Notice, the Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders. Each SOFR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the first Interest Period for the Term Loans shall commence on the Restatement Date and end on the last Business Day of the Fiscal Quarter in which the Restatement Date occurs.

(b) Interest on SOFR Loans shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.6(a). On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless the Borrower properly have exercised the SOFR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such SOFR Loans automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that any portion of the Loans bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR and the Agent shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding SOFR Loans to the rate of interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower (i) shall have not more than five (5) SOFR Loans in effect at any given time, and (ii) only may exercise the SOFR Option for SOFR Loans of at least $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(d) The Borrower may prepay SOFR Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that SOFR Loans are prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8 or any application of payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance with Section 9.2 or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Indebtedness pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold the Agent and the Lenders and their participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses (as defined below) in accordance with Section 2.13.

(e) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required actually to match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at Adjusted Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate.

(f) Subject to clause (g) below, if on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan,

(i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii) the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately

B-38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, then the Agent shall give written notice to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.

Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Reference Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Reference Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Reference Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13. Subject to Section 2.12(g), if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Reference Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Reference Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination.

(g) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.12(g)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. No swap agreement shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.12(g).

(ii) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii) The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrower of (1) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.12(g)(iv) and (2) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.12(g), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12(g).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and

B-39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Reference Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Reference Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Reference Rate.

2.13 Funding Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default or an Event of Default or any mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.8), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default or an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower or the Agent pursuant to Section 12.11, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense (“Funding Losses”) attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate upon demand after receipt thereof.

2.14 Impracticability or Illegality.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Reference Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (ii) the interest rate on which Reference Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Reference Rate”, in each case until each affected Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Reference Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Reference Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such

B-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Reference Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, in each case until the Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.

(c) The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

B-70

TABLE OF CONTENTS

8.4 Waiver by the Borrower of Certain Laws. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to waive, and does hereby absolutely and irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws now existing or which may hereafter exist, which, but for this provision, might be applicable to any sale made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, on any claim for interest on the Notes, or any security interest or mortgage contemplated by or granted under or in connection with this Agreement. These waivers have been voluntarily given, with full knowledge of the consequences thereof.

8.5 Waiver of Defaults. No Event of Default shall be waived by the Lenders except in a writing signed by an officer of the Agent in accordance with Section 12.9 hereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any delay in the exercise thereof, shall preclude other or further exercise of their rights by the Agent or the Lenders. No waiver of any Event of Default shall extend to any other or further Event of Default. No forbearance on the part of the Agent or the Lenders in enforcing any of their rights shall constitute a waiver of any of their rights. The Borrower expressly agrees that this Section may not be waived or modified by the Lenders or the Agent by course of performance, estoppel or otherwise.

8.6 Set Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender may at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower but subject to the provisions of Section 9.3 hereof (any requirement for such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower), setoff and apply against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether owing to such Lender, any Affiliate of such Lender or any other Lender or the Agent, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower and any property of the Borrower from time to time in possession of such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such deposits held or indebtedness owing by such Lender may be contingent and unmatured and regardless of whether any Collateral then held by the Agent or any Lender is adequate to cover the Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium). Promptly following any such setoff, such Lender shall give written notice to the Agent and the Borrower of the occurrence thereof; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.4 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Indebtedness owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The Borrower hereby grants to the Lenders and the Agent a lien on and security interest in all such deposits, indebtedness and property as collateral security for the payment and performance of all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The rights of each Lender under this Section 8.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

9. PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS.

9.1 Payment Procedure.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments made by the Borrower of principal, interest or fees hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim on the date specified for payment under this Agreement and must be received by the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) (or such later time on such date as agreed to by Agent) on the date such payment is required or intended to be made in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account. The Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming.

B-71

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b), as applicable. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the default interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.6(d) from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(b) The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorize the Agent to, and the Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account with any amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document. Any amount charged to the Loan Account shall be deemed Indebtedness hereunder. 

(c) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, together with any fees or premiums (including the Prepayment Premium) and all other amounts payable with respect to the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(d) The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such account or address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Agent.

(e) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment.

9.2 Application of Payments.

(a) At any time an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, or the maturity of the Indebtedness shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2, all payments or proceeds received by the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect of any of the Indebtedness, including, but not limited to all proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied in full or in part as follows:

first, ratably to pay the Indebtedness in respect of any fees (other than the Prepayment Premium), expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Agent until paid in full;

second, ratably to pay the Indebtedness in respect of any fees (other than the Prepayment Premium), expense reimbursements, and indemnities then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full;

third, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans;

fourth, ratably to pay principal of the Term Loan until paid in full;

fifth, ratably to pay the Indebtedness in respect of the Prepayment Premium then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full;

sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Indebtedness then due and payable until paid in full; and

seventh, all remaining amounts to the Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(b) For purposes of Section 9.2, “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees,

B-72

TABLE OF CONTENTS

professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of Section 9.2 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of Section 9.2 shall control and govern.

9.3 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment in respect of fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender having Loans of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Agent and each other Lender in writing of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders having Loans of the same Class in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

9.4 Treatment of a Defaulting Lender.

(a) The obligation of any Lender to make any Loan hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan under this Agreement, and no Lender shall have any liability to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Lender, or any other Person for another Lender’s failure to make any loan or Loan hereunder.

(b) If any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote in respect of any amendment, consent or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, or to direct or approve any action or inaction by the Agent shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 12.9.

(c) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.6 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any

B-73

TABLE OF CONTENTS

judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

10. YIELD PROTECTION; INCREASED COSTS; MARGIN ADJUSTMENTS; TAXES.

10.1 Capital Adequacy and Other Increased Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the capital or liquidity requirements of a Lender or the Agent (or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Agent) (including as a result of the imposition of Taxes other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or Other Connection Taxes) and such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, determines that the amount of required capital is increased by, or based upon the existence of such Lender’s or the Agent’s obligations or Loans hereunder, the effect of such Change in Law is to result in such an increase, and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Agent’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or Loans hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or the Agent (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Agent to be material, then the Agent or such Lender shall notify the Borrower, and thereafter the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor from such Lender or the Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent (or such controlling corporation) for any such reduction which such Lender or the Agent determines to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s or the Agent’s obligations or Loans hereunder. A statement setting forth the amount of such compensation, the methodology for the calculation and the calculation thereof which shall also be prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, shall be submitted by such Lender or by the Agent to the Borrower, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described in this Section 10.1 and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct, absent manifest error.

10.2 Right of Lenders to Fund through Branches and Affiliates. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Loan hereunder by designating a branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (a) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performances of its obligations hereunder and (b) no such designation shall result in any material increased costs to the Borrower or the Agent.

10.3 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 10.1, for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law (provided that this provision will not apply to any Change in Law of the type referred to in clauses (x), (y) or (z) of the definition thereof) giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

10.4 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.4) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Without duplication of Section 10.4(a), the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 10.4, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(d) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.4, (including by payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of additional amounts or indemnification paid under this Section 10.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(e) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 10.4) payable or paid by such Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent) or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent the Borrower has

not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.7 hereof relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (or assignee or participant, if applicable), in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent or Borrower, as and if applicable, in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (f).

(g) For purposes of this Section 10.4, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of a Lender, the termination of Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

11. AGENT.

11.1 Appointment of the Agent. Each Lender and the holder of each Note (if issued) irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Lender or holder under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto, including without limitation the power to execute or authorize the execution of financing or similar statements or notices, and other documents. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as a non-fiduciary agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party.

11.2 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints the Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfection the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof in writing, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefore shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions.

11.3 Scope of the Agent’s Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and shall not, by reason of this Agreement or otherwise, have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender (and no implied covenants or other obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Agent). None of the Agent, its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto, or in connection herewith or therewith: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or all of the Lenders for those acts requiring consent of all of the Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances); or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment; provided, that, no action taken or not taken by the Agent with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or all of the Lenders for those acts requiring consent of all of the Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances) shall be considered gross negligence or willful

B-76

TABLE OF CONTENTS

misconduct of the Agent. None of the Agent, its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be responsible for or have any duties to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any recitals or warranties made by the Credit Parties or any Affiliate of the Credit Parties, or any officer thereof contained herein or therein, (b) the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto or any security thereunder, (c) the performance by the Credit Parties of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (d) the satisfaction of any condition hereunder or thereunder, including without limitation in connection with the making of any Loan. The Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any certificate, notice, document or other communication (including any cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission or oral communication) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been sent or given by or on behalf of a proper Person. The Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof. The Agent may employ agents and may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to any Person for the negligence or misconduct of any such Person (except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Person) or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

11.4 Successor Agent.

(a) The Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the Borrower and each of the Lenders. If the Agent at any time shall resign or if the office of the Agent shall become vacant for any other reason, Majority Lenders shall, by written instrument, appoint successor agent(s) (“Successor Agent”) satisfactory to such Majority Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however that any such successor Agent shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or any Affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Such Successor Agent shall thereupon become the Agent hereunder, as applicable, and the Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any successor agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such Successor Agent may reasonably request. If a Successor Agent is not so appointed or does not accept such appointment before the resigning Agent’s resignation becomes effective, the resigning Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, appoint a temporary successor to act until such appointment by the Majority Lenders and, if applicable, the Borrower, is made and accepted, or if no such temporary successor is appointed as provided above by the resigning the Agent, the Majority Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the resigning the Agent hereunder until such appointment by the Majority Lenders and, if applicable, the Borrower, is made and accepted. Such Successor Agent shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the resigning Agent as if originally named. The resigning Agent shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Successor Agent all moneys at the time held by the resigning Agent hereunder after deducting therefrom its expenses for which it is entitled to be reimbursed hereunder. Upon such succession of any such Successor Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, in its capacity as the Agent hereunder, and the provisions of this Article 11, Section 10.4(e)-(f) and Section 12.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the resigning Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, CHS may assign its rights and duties as the Agent hereunder to its Affiliates and Related Funds without the prior written consent of, or prior written notice to, the Borrower or the Lenders; provided that the Borrower and the Lenders may deem and treat such assigning Agent as the Agent for all purposes hereof, unless and until

B-77

TABLE OF CONTENTS

such assigning Agent provides written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of such assignment. Upon such assignment such Person shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(c) The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more additional individuals or institutions as separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent, sub-agent or co-agent (“Supplemental Agents”) appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such Supplemental Agents may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Article 11, Section 10.4(e)-(f) and Section 12.4) shall apply to any of the Supplemental Agents of the Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with its activities as the Agent. All of the rights, benefits and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Article 11, Section 10.4(e)-(f) and Section 12.4) shall apply to any such Supplemental Agent and to the Affiliates of any such Supplemental Agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each Supplemental Agent appointed by the Agent, (i) such Supplemental Agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights, benefits and privileges of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such Supplemental Agent, and (iii) such Supplemental Agent shall only have obligations to the Agent, and not to the Borrower, Guarantor, Lender or any other Person and no Borrower, Guarantor, Lender or any other Person shall have the rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such Supplemental Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Supplemental Agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Supplemental Agent.

11.5 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Agent and each other Lender and based on the financial statements of the Borrower and such other documents, information and investigations as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend credit hereunder from time to time. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Agent and each other Lender and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any other document executed pursuant hereto.

11.6 Authority of the Agent to Enforce This Agreement. Each Lender, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, grants the Agent full power and authority as attorney-in-fact to institute and maintain actions, suits or proceedings for the collection and enforcement of any Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium) outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to file such proofs of debt or other documents as may be necessary to have the claims of the Lenders allowed in any proceeding relative to any Credit Party, or their respective creditors or affecting their respective properties, and to take such other actions which the Agent considers to be necessary or desirable for the protection, collection and enforcement of the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

11.7 Indemnification of the Agent. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent, its Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, but without limiting any obligation of the

B-78

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Borrower to make such reimbursement), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares (provided, that, if such indemnity payment is sought after the date on which the Loans have been paid in full, such determination of such Pro Rata Shares shall be made as of the last date prior to which the Loans were paid in full), from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of in-house and outside counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by any Indemnitee Agent Party under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such Indemnitee Agent Party; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Indemnitee Agent Parties promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of in-house and outside counsel) incurred by the Indemnitee Agent Parties in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Indemnitee Agent Parties are not timely reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower, but without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to make such reimbursement. Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Indemnitee Agent Parties promptly upon demand for its ratable share (provided, that, if such payment is sought after the date on which the Loans have been paid in full, such determination of such ratable share shall be made as of the last date prior to which the Loans were paid in full) of any amounts owing to the Indemnitee Agent Parties by the Lenders pursuant to this Section, provided that, if the Indemnitee Agent Parties are subsequently reimbursed by the Borrower for such amounts, they shall refund to the Lenders on a pro rata basis the amount of any excess reimbursement. If the indemnity furnished to the Indemnitee Agent Parties under this Section shall become impaired as determined in the Agent’s reasonable judgment or the Agent shall elect in its sole discretion to have such indemnity confirmed by the Lenders (as to specific matters or otherwise), the Agent shall give notice thereof to each Lender and, until such additional indemnity is provided or such existing indemnity is confirmed, the Agent may cease, or not commence, to take any action. Any amounts paid by the Lenders hereunder to the Indemnitee Agent Parties shall be deemed to constitute part of the Indebtedness hereunder.

11.8 Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of the Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and conspicuously stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Upon receiving such a notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Default or Event of Default and provide each Lender with a copy of such notice and shall endeavor to provide such notice to the Lenders within three (3) Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in the event of its failure to do so). The Agent shall also furnish the Lenders, promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information required to be provided by the Borrower hereunder.

11.9 The Agent’s Authorization; Action by Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever the Agent is authorized and empowered hereunder on behalf of the Lenders to give any approval or consent, or to make any request, or to take any other action on behalf of the Lenders (including without limitation the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents), the Agent shall be required to give such approval or consent, or to make such request or to take such other action only when so requested in writing by the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable hereunder, provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to act or omit to act if, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, such action or omission may expose the Agent to personal liability for which the Agent has not been satisfactorily indemnified hereunder or is

B-79

TABLE OF CONTENTS

contrary to this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or applicable law. Action that may be taken by the Majority Lenders, any other specified percentage of the Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder), may be taken (i) pursuant to a vote of the requisite percentages of the Lenders as required hereunder at a meeting (which may be held by telephone conference call), provided that the Agent exercises good faith, diligent efforts to give all of the Lenders reasonable advance notice of the meeting, or (ii) pursuant to the written consent of the requisite percentages of the Lenders as required hereunder, provided that all of the Lenders are given reasonable advance notice of the requests for such consent.

11.10 Enforcement Actions by the Agent. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and subject to the terms hereof, the Agent will take such action, assert such rights and pursue such remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder), shall direct; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to act or omit to act if, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, such action or omission may expose the Agent to personal liability for which the Agent has not been satisfactorily indemnified hereunder or is contrary to this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or applicable law. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender hereby agree (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Loan Document or to enforce any Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and (iii) the Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Majority Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral to be sold (A) at any public or private sale, (B) at any sale conducted by the Agent under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code), (C) at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law or (D) any sale conducted pursuant to the provisions of any Debtor Relief Law (including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), to use and apply all or any of the Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Agent at such sale.

11.11 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, in its reasonable discretion, to the full extent set forth in Section 12.9(d) hereof, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower (1) to release or terminate any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium) payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (b) constituting property (including, without limitation, Equity Interests in any Person) sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction and including the property of any Subsidiary that is disposed of as permitted hereby) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a Person that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor, subject to Section 11.11(b)(3) below; (c) constituting property in which a Credit Party owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (d) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, or all the Lenders, as the case may be, as provided in Section 12.9; (2) to subordinate the Lien granted to or held by the Agent

B-80

TABLE OF CONTENTS

on any Collateral to any other holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by Section 7.2(b) hereto; and (3) if all of the Equity Interests held by the Credit Parties in any Person are sold or otherwise transferred to any transferee other than the Borrower, an Affiliate of the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to release such Person from all of its obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, under any Guaranty). Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 11.11(b), and the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any such action until it receives such written confirmation from the Majority Lenders or Lenders (as applicable).

11.12 The Agent in its Individual Capacity. CHS and its Affiliates, successors and assigns shall each have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though such Lender were not the Agent. CHS and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Credit Parties as if such Lender were not acting as the Agent hereunder, and may accept fees and other consideration therefor without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

11.13 Specified Subordination Agreement and Subordination Agreements. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to enter into any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to the Senior Debt or any Subordinated Debt, on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement. Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of each subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to the Senior Debt or any Subordinated Debt.

11.14 No Reliance on the Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (i) any identify verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) any comparisons with government lists, (iv) any customer notices or (v) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

(b) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (x) within 10 days after the Restatement Date, and (y) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

B-83

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with the provisions of this Section set forth above. If such telephonic notice conflicts with any such confirmation, the terms of such confirmation shall control. Any notice given by the Agent or any Lender to the Borrower shall be deemed to be a notice to all of the Credit Parties.

(b) Notices and other communications provided to the Agent and the Lenders party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including email and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 2 if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications (including email and any E-System) pursuant to procedures approved by it. Unless otherwise agreed to in a writing by and among the parties to a particular communication, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, return email, or other written acknowledgment) and (ii) notices and other communications posted to any E-System shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or other communication is available and identifying the website address therefore; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

12.6 Further Action. The Borrower, from time to time, upon written request of the Agent will make, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further and additional instruments, and take all such further action as may reasonably be required to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and to provide for Loans under and payment of the Notes, according to the intent and purpose herein and therein expressed.

12.7 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) The foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by the Borrower of its rights or duties hereunder, and, except as otherwise provided herein, no such assignment shall be made (or be effective) without the prior written approval of the Lenders.

(c) No Lenders may at any time assign or grant participations in such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents except (i) by way of assignment to any Eligible Assignee in accordance with clause (d) of this Section, (ii) by way of a participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) of this Section 12.7 or (iii) by way of a pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (g) of this Section 12.7 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender shall be deemed to be null and void); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) the Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to an Eligible Assignee and (b) the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is an Eligible Assignee and that the Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to any Person which is not an Eligible Assignee.

(d) Each assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) each such assignment shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to each Class of Term Loans, and shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of Five Million Dollars

B-84

TABLE OF CONTENTS

($5,000,000) (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Term Loan or Incremental Term Loans of a particular tranche of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of Term Loans; and

(ii) the parties to any assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment Agreement substantially (as determined by the Agent) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (with appropriate insertions acceptable to the Agent), together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in the Assignment Agreement, and any other documents as the Agent shall reasonably request from such assignee.

Until the Assignment Agreement becomes effective in accordance with its terms and is recorded in the Register maintained by the Agent under clause (h) of this Section 12.7, and the Agent has confirmed that the assignment satisfies the requirements of this Section 12.7, the Borrower and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned. From and after the effective date of each Assignment Agreement that satisfies the requirements of this Section 12.7, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the right to receive fees payable hereunder in respect of the period following such assignment) and the assigning Lender shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Upon request, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to the assigning Lender pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, and with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness retained by the assigning Lender, to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by such Lender hereunder. The Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such new Note(s) shall be given in renewal and replacement of the Notes issued to the assigning lender prior to such assignment and shall not effect or constitute a novation or discharge of the Indebtedness evidenced by such prior Note, and each such new Note may contain a provision confirming such agreement.

(e) The Borrower and the Agent acknowledge that each of the Lenders may at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, grant participations in such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder (on a pro rata basis only) and under the other Loan Documents to any Person (other than a natural person or to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries); provided that any participation permitted hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be subject to a participation agreement that incorporates the following restrictions:

(i) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes hereunder (if such Notes are issued), notwithstanding any such participation;

(ii) a participant shall not reassign or transfer, or grant any sub-participations in its participation interest hereunder or any part thereof;

(iii) such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Credit Parties relating to the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to proceed against any Guarantors, or cause the Agent to do so (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without the consent of the participant (unless such participant is an Affiliate of such Lender), except for those matters requiring the consent of each of the Lenders under Section 12.9(b) (provided that a participant may exercise approval rights over such matters only on an indirect basis, acting through such Lender and the Credit Parties, the Agent and the other Lenders may continue to deal directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and duties hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the case of any participation granted by any Lender hereunder, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of

B-85

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the other Loan Documents against the Agent, any other Lender or any Credit Party; provided, however that the participant may have rights against such Lender in respect of such participation as may be set forth in the applicable participation agreement and all amounts payable by the Borrower and Guarantors hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Each such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 10 of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (d) of this Section, provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such the provisions of Article 10 than the issuing Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such issuing Lender to such participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive any greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation, and each such participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.6 hereof as though it were a Lender, provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.3 hereof as though it were a Lender; and

(iv) each participant shall provide the relevant tax form required under Section 12.12 to its participating Lender.

(f) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including its Notes, if any) or any other Loan Document to secure obligations or indebtedness of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other third party lender, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Agent; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto (except in connection with the exercise of remedies by such pledgee or assignee or grantee with respect to the obligations or indebtedness of such Lender).

(h) The Borrower hereby designates the Agent, and Agent agrees to serve, as the Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of this Section 12.7(h) to maintain at its principal office in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount of each type of Loan owing to each such Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (but only with respect to any entry relating to the principal amounts owing to such Lender) upon reasonable notice to the Agent and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party on their prior written request. The Agent shall give prompt written notice to the Borrower of the making of any entry in the Register or any

B-86

TABLE OF CONTENTS

change in such entry. This Section 12.7(h) shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(i) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective assignee or participant which has satisfied the requirements hereunder, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Credit Parties which has been delivered to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, provided that each such prospective assignee or participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of Section 12.10 hereof or shall otherwise agree to be bound by the terms thereof.

(j) Nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees and participants permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each executed copy shall constitute an original instrument, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

12.9 Amendment and Waiver.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and the Majority Lenders (or by the Agent at the written request of the Majority Lenders) (except with respect to the Fee Letter, which shall only require the consent of the parties thereto) or, if this Agreement expressly so requires with respect to the subject matter thereof, by all Lenders (and, with respect to any amendments to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, by any Credit Party or the Guarantors that are signatories thereto), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. All references in this Agreement to “Lenders” or “the Lenders” shall refer to all Lenders, unless expressly stated to refer to Majority Lenders (or the like).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

(i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall increase the stated amount of any Lender’s commitment hereunder without such Lender’s consent;

(ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Lender or Lenders holding Indebtedness directly affected thereby, do any of the following:

(A) reduce the principal of, or interest (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.6(d)) on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (including any Prepayment Premium),

B-87

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(B) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (including any Prepayment Premium),

(C) change any of the provisions of this Section 12.9 or the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder; provided that changes to the definition of “Majority Lenders” may be made with the consent of only the Majority Lenders to include the Lenders holding any additional credit facilities that are added to this Agreement with the approval of the appropriate Lenders, and

(D) amend the definition of “Pro Rata Share”;

provided, however, that any waiver of a mandatory prepayment, Section 2.11(b)(v) or any Default or Event of Default shall be subject only to the consent of the Majority Lenders;

(iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all Lenders, do any of the following:

(A) except as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral (provided that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be prohibited thereby from proposing or participating in a consensual or nonconsensual debtor-in-possession or similar financing), or release any material guaranty provided by any Person in favor of the Agent and the Lenders, provided however that the Agent shall be entitled, without notice to or any further action or consent of the Lenders, to release any Collateral which any Credit Party is permitted to sell, assign or otherwise transfer in compliance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (to a Person that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor) or release any guaranty to the extent expressly permitted by Section 11.11(b)(iii) of this Agreement,

(B) modify, directly or indirectly, Section 9.2, Section 9.3 hereof or any other provision herein or in the other Loan Documents receiving the pro rata treatment of Lenders in a manner that would alter the priorities set forth therein or the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or

(C) except as expressly permitted in Section 11.11(b)(2), subordinate the Indebtedness hereunder or the Liens granted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, to any other Debt (other than the Senior Debt) or obligation or Lien (other than the Liens in favor of the Senior Agent under the Senior Loan Documents), as the case may be;

(iv) any amendment, waiver, or consent that will affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall require the written concurrence of the Agent; and

(v) any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification to this Agreement to permit the formation or other existence of the direct parent entity of the Borrower shall require the written consent of the Agent in its sole discretion.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove of any amendment, consent, waiver or any other modification to any Loan Document (and all amendments, consents, waivers and other modifications may be effected without the consent of the Defaulting Lenders), except that the foregoing shall not permit, in each case without such Defaulting Lender’s consent, (i) an increase in such Defaulting Lender’s stated commitment amounts, (ii) the waiver, forgiveness or reduction of the principal amount of any Indebtedness owing to such Defaulting Lender (unless all other Lenders affected thereby are treated similarly), (iii) the extension of the final maturity date(s) of such Defaulting Lenders’ portion of any of the Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium) or the extension of any commitment to extend credit of such Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any other

B-88

TABLE OF CONTENTS

modification which requires the consent of all Lenders or the Lender(s) affected thereby which affects such Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders (other than a modification which results in a reduction of repayment of any amounts owing to such Defaulting Lender on a non pro-rata basis).

(d) The Agent shall, upon the written request of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Credit Parties such documents as may be necessary to evidence (1) the release of any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium) payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (b) which constitutes property (including, without limitation, Equity Interests in any Person) sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction and including the property of any Subsidiary that is disposed of as permitted hereby) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a Person that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor, subject to Section 12.9(d)(2) below; (c) which constitutes property in which a Credit Party owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (d) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, or all the Lenders, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 12.9; or (2) the release of any Person from its obligations under the Loan Documents (including without limitation the Guaranty) if all of the Equity Interests of such Person that were held by a Credit Party are sold or otherwise transferred to any transferee other than the Borrower, an Affiliate of the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such release or subordination agreement under clauses (1) or (2) above on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty or such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium) or any Liens upon any Collateral retained by any Credit Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale or other disposition, all of which shall constitute and remain part of the Collateral.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment and restatement of this Agreement which is in all other respects approved by the Lenders in accordance with this Section 12.9 shall require the consent or approval of any Lender (i) which immediately after giving effect to such amendment and restatement, shall have no commitment or other obligation to maintain or extend credit under this Agreement (as so amended and restated) and (ii) which, substantially contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment and restatement, shall have received payment in full of all Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium) owing to such Lender under the Loan Documents. From and after the effectiveness of any such amendment and restatement, any such Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a “Lender” hereunder or a party hereto, except that any such Lender shall retain the benefits of indemnification provisions hereof which, by the terms hereof would survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.10 Confidentiality. Each of Agent and Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its Subsidiaries, another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or to its auditors, agents, advisors, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, counsel or representatives (or to other Persons authorized by a Lender or the Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 12.10)) any information with respect to the Credit Parties which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that Agent and Lenders may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public or has been lawfully obtained by Agent or Lender from any third party under no duty of confidentiality to any Credit Party, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in respect to any

12.11 Substitution or Removal of Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 10.1 or 10.4, (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b)(i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 12.9(b), the consent of the Agent and the Majority Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required shall not have been obtained (a “Non-Consenting Lender”); then, with respect to each such Lender (an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower or Agent may, by giving written notice to the Borrower and any Affected Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Affected Lender (and such Affected Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.7 and Affected Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Affected Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Affected Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to the Fee Letter; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.4; and (3) in the event such Affected Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Affected Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Affected Lender, such Affected Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Affected Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Affected Lender.

12.12 Withholding Taxes.

(a) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 12.12(a)(i)(A), (i)(B)

B-90

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and (i)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner and supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender or Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender or Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(b) For purposes of this Section 12.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

12.19 Independence of Covenants. Each covenant hereunder shall be given independent effect (subject to any exceptions stated in such covenant) so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenant (taking into account any such stated exception), the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.

12.20 Electronic Transmissions.

(a) Each of the Agent, the Credit Parties, the Lenders, and each of their Affiliates is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. The Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

(b) All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 12.5 and this Section 12.20, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related contractual obligations executed by the Agent, the Credit Parties and the Lenders in connection with the use of such E-System.

(c) All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agent or any of its Affiliates, nor the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein. No warranty of any kind is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates, or the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects. The Agent, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Lenders agree that the Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any

E-System. The Agent and the Lenders agree that the Borrower has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

12.21 Advertisements. The Agent and the Lenders, subject to the Borrower’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, may issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of one or more of the Credit Parties) (collectively, “Trade Announcements”). No Credit Party shall issue any Trade Announcement or disclose the name of Agent or any Lender except (i) disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or the rules of the SEC or (ii) with the prior approval of Agent and such Lender not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

12.22 Reliance on and Survival of Provisions. All terms, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Credit Parties to any of the Loan Documents made herein or in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other document furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any Lender or on such Lender’s behalf, and those covenants and agreements of the Borrower and the Lenders, as applicable, set forth in Sections 8.3, 8.6, 9.3, 10.1, 10.4, 11.3, 11.7 and 12.4 hereof (together with any other indemnities of any Credit Party or Lender contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents) shall survive the repayment in full of the Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium) and the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any commitment to extend credit thereunder.

12.23 Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Indebtedness (including any Prepayment Premium), including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Indebtedness hereunder.

12.24 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

B-94

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

12.25 Specified Subordination Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Specified Subordination Agreement (to the extent such Specified Subordination Agreement is then in effect). In the event of any direct conflict between the terms of the Specified Subordination Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of the Specified Subordination Agreement (to the extent such Specified Subordination Agreement is then in effect) shall govern. Notwithstanding anything that may be contained herein to the contrary, all of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, the covenants of the Credit Parties contained herein and therein and all of the rights, remedies and powers provided for herein and therein, are subject to the provisions of the Specified Subordination Agreement to the extent such Specified Subordination Agreement is then in effect (it being understood that any breach by any Credit Party of its obligations hereunder or thereunder shall nonetheless constitute a default (and to the extent provided herein or therein, an Event of Default) hereunder or thereunder, as applicable, notwithstanding the foregoing).

12.26 Restatement of Original Credit Agreement. The parties hereto agree that, on the Restatement Date, the following transactions shall be deemed to occur automatically, without further action by any party hereto:

(a) the Original Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be amended and restated in its entirety in the form of this Agreement;

(b) each Credit Party reaffirms and confirms its obligations under each Loan Document (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) to which it is a party (including all Collateral Documents (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and the security interests previously granted thereunder), as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified or replaced by the Agreement and by any other Loan Document delivered on the Restatement Date continue in full force and effect and extend to all Indebtedness of each Credit Party under the Loan Documents as modified on the Restatement Date;

(c) the Term Loans (including the Exchanged Term Loans) shall continue to be secured by all Liens provided in connection with the Original Credit Agreement as and to the extent provided in, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement (and from and after the Restatement Date, shall be secured by all Liens provided in connection with this Agreement as and to the extent provided for in, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement);

(d) all references in the Loan Documents (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) to the “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement;

(e) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not constitute a novation or termination of the Existing Term Loans and that, to the extent not exchanged for Equity Interests of the

B-95

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Borrower on the Restatement Date, such Existing Term Loans shall in all respects continue and remain outstanding as Exchanged Term Loans under this Agreement with only the terms being modified from and after the Restatement Date of this Agreement as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

(f) the Credit Parties acknowledge that this Agreement does not constitute a waiver by any Lender or any Agent of any Default or Event of Default under the Original Credit Agreement and any such Default or Event of Default that exists on the Restatement Date shall continue to exist under this Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(unless otherwise directed by the Registrable Investors holding at least two-thirds of all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by all Registrable Investors) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A and a “Selling Stockholder” section in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties; provided, however, that no Registrable Investor shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Registrable Investor’s express prior written consent, and a non-consenting Registrable Investor will be removed from the Shelf Registration Statement as a Selling Stockholder if the SEC will not take the Shelf Registration Statement effective without such Registrable Investor being named as an “underwriter” and such removal will not be a breach by the Company. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the Exchange Closing, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the transfer agent and the affected Registrable Investors and instructing any securities legends to be removed. The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on a Business Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Registrable Investors via e-mail of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement on the same Business Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the SEC, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the second (2nd) Business Day after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424. If, after the filing of a Shelf Registration Statement, a holder of Registrable Securities requests registration under the Securities Act of additional Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration, the Company shall amend such Shelf Registration Statement to cover such additional Registrable Securities. If the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Registrable Investors thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not available, Form S-1, or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering); provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

SECTION 2.02. Underwritten Demand Rights. At any time after the Exchange Closing, but in no event more than twice in any three hundred sixty-five (365)-day period, any Registrable Investor (other than the Founder) may, by written notice to the Company, request that the Company effect the registration on Form S-3 or Form S-1 of a number of Registrable Securities having an aggregate value (based on the market price of fair market value on the date of such request) of at least $5,000,000 to be distributed in an underwritten offering. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other Registrable Investors holding Registrable Securities. The Company will then, promptly and in any event within forty-five (45) days after a request for registration is delivered to the Company, use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by such Holders, and all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by other Registrable Investors holding such Registrable Securities by notice delivered to the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice by the Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECTION 2.03. Payment of Expenses. The Company hereby agrees to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with all registrations effected pursuant to Sections ‎2.01 and ‎2.02; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of such registration proceeding if the registration request is withdrawn at any time at the request of the Majority Participating Holders, and all participating Holders shall bear such expenses, unless the Majority Participating Holders agree to treat such withdrawn registration as a registration which was effected pursuant to Section ‎2.01 or ‎2.02, as the case may be, which agreement shall bind all Holders of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time the demand for registration was made or if there shall have occurred a material adverse change in market conditions from those existing as such time in the good faith judgment of the Majority Participating Holders makes it undesirable to proceed with the proposed offering, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses. The withdrawn registration shall not count as a registration effected pursuant to Section ‎2.01 or ‎2.02, as the case may be.

ARTICLE III

Piggyback Registration

SECTION 3.01. Piggyback Registration. If at any time following the Exchange Closing the Company proposes to register any of its Equity Securities under the Securities Act, for its own account or for the account of any holder of its securities other than Registrable Securities, on a form which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, or proposes to register any securities in a so-called “unallocated” or “universal” shelf registration statement and such registration would permit registration of Registrable Securities thereunder, the Company will each such time give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. Such notice shall describe such securities and specify the form, manner and other relevant aspects of such proposed registration. Any such Holder may, by written response delivered to the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, request that all or a specified part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder be included in such registration. The Company thereupon will use its reasonable best efforts as a part of its filing of such form to cause to be included in such registration under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders of Registrable Securities, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the methods to be used by the Company or other holders of securities in such registration) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered. The Company shall be under no obligation to complete any offering of its securities it proposes to make and shall incur no liability to any Holder for its failure to do so. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Article ‎III shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations to effect registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section ‎2.01 or ‎2.02.

SECTION 3.02. Excluded Transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Article ‎III incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with any mergers, acquisitions or exchange offers or in connection with any dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee benefit plans.

SECTION 3.03. Payment of Expenses. The Company hereby agrees to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Article ‎III.

ARTICLE IV

Registration Procedures

SECTION 4.01. Company Obligations. 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 Articles ‎II or ‎III, the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Amendments and Supplements to Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable

C-6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Securities and other securities, if any, covered by such registration statement until such time as all such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by the seller or sellers thereof in accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such registration statement.

(b) Cooperation. Use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate as may be reasonably requested by the seller of such Registrable Securities in the disposition of the Class A Common Stock covered by such registration statement, including in the case of an underwritten offering causing key executives of the Company to participate under the direction of the managing underwriter in a “road show” scheduled by such managing underwriter in such locations and of such duration as in the reasonable judgment of such managing underwriter are appropriate for such underwritten offering.

(c) Furnishing of Copies of Registration Statements and Other Documents. Furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), each in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, such documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement or prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities of such seller covered by such registration statement.

(d) State Securities Laws. Use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable each seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities of such seller covered by such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or subject the Company to taxation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or would not otherwise be so subject.

(e) Opinion of Counsel; Comfort Letter. Use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all legal opinions, auditors consents and comfort letters and experts cooperation as may be required, including furnishing to each underwriter of Registrable Securities on the date that the registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel for the Company, and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter, dated as of such date, signed by the independent public accountants of the Company, in each case, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering.

(f) Notice of Prospectus Defects. Immediately notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

(g) Stop Orders. In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

Otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and all other applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its securities holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and any applicable regulations thereunder, including Rule 158.

(i) Underwriting Agreement. In the event of any underwritten offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering.

(j) Exchange Listing. Use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which any equity security of the Company is then listed or, if the Company does not have a class of Equity Securities listed on a national securities exchange, apply for qualification and use its reasonable best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market or comparable trading system.

(k) Due Diligence. Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, Directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement, in each case, subject to the requirement that recipients execute appropriate confidentiality agreements.

(l) Transfer Agent. Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

(m) Legend. The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly unlegended certificates or other evidence of ownership at the request of any Holder thereof if such Holder shall have obtained an opinion of counsel, which counsel may be counsel to the Company, reasonably acceptable to the Company (it being understood that (i) internal counsel of CHS shall be deemed acceptable for transfers by CHS, (ii) internal counsel of Nexus shall be deemed acceptable for transfers by Nexus, and (iii) internal counsel of Story3 shall be deemed acceptable for transfers by Story3) to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may be lawfully disposed of without registration, qualification and legend.

SECTION 4.02. Shelf Take-Downs.

(a) Shelf Take-Downs. Following the Exchange Closing, any selling Holder of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement (an “Initiating Shelf Holder”) may initiate an offering or sale of all or part of such Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Take-Down”), in which case the provisions of this Section 4.02 shall apply.

(b) Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs. If an Initiating Shelf Holder so elects in a written request delivered to the Company (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”), a Shelf Take-Down may be in the form of an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”) and the Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Shelf Registration Statement (including the filing of a supplemental prospectus) for such purpose as promptly as reasonably practicable. Such Initiating Shelf Holder shall indicate in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice whether it intends for such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to involve a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the underwriters over a period of at least 48 hours (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”). Upon receipt of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice indicating that such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down will be a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days

C-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

after receipt of the notice for such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) give written notice of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and shall permit the participation of all such Shelf Holders that request inclusion in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down who respond in writing within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such notice of their election to participate.

(c) Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs. If the Initiating Shelf Holder desires to effect an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that does not constitute a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), the Initiating Shelf Holder shall so indicate in a written request delivered to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the expected date of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which request shall include (i) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (including the delivery of one or more stock certificates representing shares of Registrable Securities to be sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), and (iv) at the option and in the sole discretion of such Initiating Shelf Holder, an election that such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be subject to Section 4.02(d) (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Piggyback Election”), and the Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Shelf Registration Statement (including the filing of a supplemental prospectus) for such purpose as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within three (3) Business Days).

(d) Shelf Take-Down Piggyback Election. Upon receipt from any Holder of a written request pursuant to Section 4.02(c) that contains an affirmative Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Piggyback Election, the Company shall provide written notice (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down promptly to all Holders (other than the requesting Holder), which Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice shall set forth (i) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (iii) that each recipient of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice (each, a “Notice Recipient”) shall have the right, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 4.02(d), to elect to sell up to its Non-Marketed Take-Down Share, and (iv) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof, which for the avoidance of doubt shall not require any delay in the expected date of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or extension of the Company’s obligation to file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) of the Initiating Shelf Holder’s Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down request pursuant to Section 4.02(c)) in connection with such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down with respect to each Notice Recipient that elects to exercise such right (including the delivery of one or more stock certificates representing shares of Registrable Securities held by such Notice Recipient to be sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down). Upon receipt of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice, each such Notice Recipient may elect to sell up to its Non-Marketed Take-Down Share with respect to each such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down by taking such action or actions referred to in clause (iv) above in a timely manner. If the Initiating Shelf Holder does not elect to sell all of its respective Non-Marketed Take-Down Share, the unelected portion of such Non-Marketed Take-Down Share shall be allocated to the Notice Recipients, pro rata based on their respective Non-Marketed Take-Down Shares. Notwithstanding the delivery of any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down contemplated by Section 4.02(d) shall be at the discretion of the Initiating Shelf Holder.

SECTION 4.03. Participation by Selling Holders. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and which shall be required by the Securities Act (or similar state Laws) or by the SEC in connection therewith.

SECTION 4.04. Discontinue Selling. Each seller of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon written notice of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) the issuance of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement, such seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until such seller is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and if applicable is furnished with a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section ‎4.01(f). If the Company shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a prospectus, the Company shall extend the period of time during which the Company is required to maintain the registration statement effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date such seller either is advised by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed or if applicable receives the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section ‎4.01(f).

Additional Procedures in Connection with Underwritten Offerings; Cutbacks

SECTION 5.01. Registrations Upon Request Pursuant to Article ‎II. In the case of a registration pursuant to Article ‎II, whenever the Majority Participating Holders shall request that such registration shall be effected pursuant to an underwritten offering, such registration shall be so effected, and only securities which are to be distributed by the underwriters, which underwriters shall be designated by the Majority Participating Holders and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, may be included in such registration. If requested by such underwriters, the Company and each participating seller will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such participating sellers and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including customary indemnity and contribution provisions; provided, however, that the liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification, contribution or other obligation of such Holder arising under such underwriting agreement (i) shall be limited to losses arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for inclusion therein, and (ii) shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration.

SECTION 5.02. Piggyback Registrations Pursuant to Article ‎III. In connection with the exercise of any registration rights granted to Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Article ‎III, if the registration is to be effected by means of an underwritten offering of Class A Common Stock on a firm commitment basis, the Company may condition participation in such registration by such Holders upon inclusion of the Registrable Securities being so registered in such underwriting. The Holders of Registrable Securities participating in any registration pursuant to Article ‎III shall be parties to the underwriting agreement entered into by the Company and any other selling stockholders in connection therewith containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such participating sellers and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including customary indemnity and contribution provisions; provided, however, that the liability of each Holder in respect of any

C-10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

indemnification, contribution or other obligation of such Holder arising under such underwriting agreement (i) shall be limited to losses arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for inclusion therein, and (ii) shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration.

SECTION 5.03. Cutbacks.

(a) Article ‎II Cutbacks. If the SEC sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a Shelf Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used reasonable best efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Registrable Investor as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Shelf Registration Statement will be reduced as follows: (i) first, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities, and (ii) second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities applied to the Registrable Investors on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Registrable Investors.

(b) Article ‎III Cutbacks. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that the number of shares to be included in a registration pursuant to Article ‎III should be limited due to market conditions, (i) all shares of securities held by stockholders of the Company other than Holders of Registrable Securities shall first be excluded, (ii) next, if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, all Holders of Registrable Securities shall share pro rata in the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be excluded from such registration pursuant to this clause (ii), such sharing to be based on the respective numbers of Registrable Securities owned by such Holders, and (iii) thereafter, if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, shares to be sold for the account of the Company shall be excluded; provided, however, that no exclusion provided for herein shall reduce the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration to an amount that is less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of shares to be included in such registration based on aggregate market value.

(c) In the event of a cutback under this Section ‎5.03, the Company shall give each affected Registrable Investor at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Registrable Investor’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section ‎2.01, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf Registration Statement, as amended.

Indemnification and Contribution

SECTION 6.01. Indemnities of the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Article ‎II or ‎III, and in connection with any registration statement or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any such registration, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, their respective direct and indirect partners, members, stockholders, directors, advisory board members, officers, investment advisors, representatives on the Board, and each other Person, if any, who controls or is alleged to control any such Holder of Registrable Securities, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such Person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”),

C-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or Actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other Law of any jurisdiction, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or Actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any (i) untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any such registration statement under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary prospectus, free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, (ii) 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 (iii) violation or alleged violation of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any selling Holder in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company relating to such selling Holder by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for inclusion therein (which information shall be limited to the name of such selling Holder, the address of such selling Holder, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by such selling Holder, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock being offered by such selling Holder in the offering and the nature of the beneficial ownership of the Class A Common Stock owned by such selling Holder). The indemnities of the Company contained in this Section ‎6.01 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.

SECTION 6.02. Indemnities to the Company. In the event of any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Article ‎II or ‎III, each selling Holder will, and hereby does, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Director, each officer of the Company who shall sign such registration statement and each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any free writing prospectus, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document (including reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or other document or report, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such selling Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for inclusion therein (which information shall be limited to the name of such selling Holder, the address of such selling Holder, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by such selling Holder, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock being offered by such selling Holder in the offering and the nature of the beneficial ownership of the Class A Common Stock owned by such selling Holder). Such indemnity contained in this Section ‎6.02 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such Director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.

SECTION 6.03. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any Action involving a claim of the type referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Article ‎VI, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such Action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice to such indemnifying party as provided herein shall not relieve such indemnifying party of its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Article ‎VI, except and solely to the extent that such

C-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such Action is brought against an indemnified party, each indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such an indemnifying party), and after notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if the indemnified party in good faith determines that there may be a conflict between the positions of such indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of such Action or that there may be defenses available to such indemnified party different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party, then (i) counsel for the indemnified party shall conduct the defense of the indemnified party to the extent in good faith determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall employ separate counsel for its own defense, (ii) the indemnified party shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such indemnified party participate in, but not conduct, the defense and (iii) the indemnifying party shall bear the legal expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the conduct of, and the participation in, the defense as referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice, such indemnifying party shall not have elected to assume the defense of the Action, such indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of the Action. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, and no indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

SECTION 6.04. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections ‎6.01 or ‎6.02 is unavailable to a Party that would have been an indemnified party under any such Section in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or Actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or Actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party on the one hand and such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or Actions in respect thereof). The relative fault shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section ‎6.04 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by a contributing Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or Actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section ‎6.04 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Action. 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.

SECTION 6.05. Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities. The liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation of such Holder arising under this Article ‎VI shall not in any event exceed an aggregate amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions and any other damages

C-13

payable by such Holder in connection with such registration) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration less any other damages paid by such Holder with respect to claims relating to such registration.

ARTICLE VII

Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and with a view to making it possible for Holders to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees, following the Exchange Closing, to:

(a) use its reasonable best efforts to make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times;

(b) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance or non-compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or as to its qualification as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

ARTICLE VIII

Assignment of Registration Rights

The consent of the Company shall not be required for an assignment by any Holder to (a) any Person to which shares of Class A Common Stock are transferred by such Holder, or (b) any Affiliate of such Holder, in each case, of the rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Articles ‎II and ‎III. Any transferee to whom rights under this Agreement are transferred shall (i) as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument by which such transferee agrees to be bound by the obligations imposed upon Holders under this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were a Holder under this Agreement, and (ii) be deemed to be a Holder hereunder.

SECTION 13.07. Specific Performance; Exclusive Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event an Action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, no Party will allege, and each Party waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy under applicable Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(b) In addition, each of the Parties (i) consents to submit itself, and hereby submits itself, to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction, any state court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction, any state court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, and (iv) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section ‎13.01.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

SECTION 13.08. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented, except by written instrument executed by each Party (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Party whose rights and obligations hereunder have validly terminated in accordance with Section 12.13). Any of the terms or provisions hereof may be waived in writing at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefits of such waived terms or provisions. In addition, any amendment or waiver of Section 12.08(a) shall require the approval specified therein. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

ANNEX A

Plan of Distribution

Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker dealer solicits purchasers;

• block trades in which the broker dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

• purchases by a broker dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account;

• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

• privately negotiated transactions;

• settlement of short sales;

• in transactions through broker dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

• through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

• a combination of any such methods of sale; or

• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit

C-29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Rights Offering, each Company Stockholder of record as of the close of business on the Record Date (collectively, the “Eligible Common Stockholders”) will receive one (1) Right for each share of Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date, and each Right will entitle the holder to purchase one (1) share of Class A Common Stock at the Subscription Price (the “Basic Subscription Right”), subject to adjustment in accordance with the Rights Offering Registration Statement and any amendments thereto;

WHEREAS, subject to and in accordance with the Rights Offering Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, each Company Stockholder who exercises his, her or its Basic Subscription Rights may subscribe for additional shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent they are available, at the Subscription Price (the “Over-Subscription Right” and, together with the Basic Subscription Right, the “Subscription Rights”);

WHEREAS, the Company desires to receive aggregate consideration of $12,500,000 in connection with the Rights Offering; and

WHEREAS, in order to provide assurance that the Company receives aggregate consideration of $12,500,000 in connection with the Rights Offering, the Company has offered to the Backstop Purchasers the opportunity, and each Backstop Purchaser has agreed and committed, to purchase from the Company upon expiration of the Rights Offering, at the Subscription Price, shares of Class A Common Stock not otherwise sold in the Rights Offering, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Section 1. Backstop Commitment.

(a) Subject to the consummation of the Rights Offering, the terms and conditions of which shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Backstop Purchasers (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall be customary for offerings of this type, and the terms and conditions set forth herein, in order to provide assurance that the Rights Offering will be fully subscribed, each Backstop Purchaser hereby commits to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to such Backstop Purchaser, at the Subscription Price, any and all Unsubscribed Shares, in accordance with such Backstop Purchaser’s Backstop Percentage set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Backstop Commitment”); provided, however, that the Backstop Commitment of such Backstop Purchaser shall not exceed the amount set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. It is understood that the Unsubscribed Shares shall be allocated for the purposes of the Backstop Commitment among the Backstop Purchasers proportionally in accordance with their respective Backstop Percentage set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. The “Unsubscribed Shares” means a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to all Rights issued by the Company in connection with the Rights Offering, less (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are purchased by the Eligible Common Stockholders in the Rights Offering pursuant to the exercise of the Subscription Rights.

(b) Within two (2) Business Days after the closing of the Rights Offering, the Company shall issue to each Backstop Purchaser a notice (the “Subscription Notice”) setting forth the number of shares of Class A Common Stock subscribed for in the Rights Offering pursuant to the exercise of the Subscription Rights by the Eligible Common Stockholders and the aggregate gross proceeds of the Rights Offering and, accordingly, the number of Unsubscribed Shares to be acquired by such Backstop Purchaser pursuant to the Backstop Commitment at the Rights Subscription Price. Shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by the Backstop Purchasers pursuant to the Backstop Commitment are collectively referred to as the “Backstop Acquired Shares.”

(c) Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 5, the closing of the Backstop Commitment (the “Closing”) shall take place by means of a virtual closing through electronic exchange of signatures on the later of (i) immediately following the Effective Time, and (ii) the second (2nd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted herein and by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Section 4 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time) or on such other date, time or at such place as agreed to in writing by the Company and the Backstop Purchasers (the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).

(d) At the Closing, the Company shall automatically (without a need for any further action on the part of, or notice to, the Company or any other Person) issue to the Backstop Purchasers the Backstop Acquired Shares via the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in book entry form, free and clear of all Liens (other than any restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities Laws), against payment by or on behalf of the Backstop Purchasers of the aggregate Rights Subscription Price for all such shares by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall cooperate with each Backstop Purchaser and take such actions as may be necessary to (i) instruct the Company’s transfer agent to issue the Backstop Acquired Shares to each Backstop Purchaser effective as of the Closing, and (ii) deliver to each Backstop Purchaser evidence thereof in a form customarily delivered by the Company’s transfer agent.

Such Backstop Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of the acquisition of the Backstop Acquired Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(h) Investment Intent. Such Backstop Purchaser is acquiring Backstop Acquired Shares for its own account, with the intention of holding such shares for investment and with no present intention of participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the shares.

(i) No Manipulation or Stabilization of Price. In connection with the Rights Offering, such Backstop Purchaser has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company in order to facilitate the sale or resale of any securities of the Company, and it is not aware of any such action taken or to be taken by any Person.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Securities Act or any state securities Laws, except pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement to be entered by and between the Company and the Backstop Purchasers, (iii) that the Backstop Acquired Shares will be issued in reliance upon exemptions contained in the Securities Act or interpretations thereof and in the applicable state securities Laws, and (iv) that the Backstop Acquired Shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from or not subject to registration under the Securities Act.

(k) Removal of Legends. The legend set forth in Section 2(j) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate (or book entry notation, as applicable) without such legend or any other legend to the holder of the applicable Backstop Acquired Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the DTC, if (i) such shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act and sold pursuant to the effective registration statement registering the shares for resale, (ii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) or another similar exemption from registration, or (iii) an opinion of counsel is provided to the Company, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that such shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Certificates (or book entry notations) for Backstop Acquired Shares subject to legend removal hereunder will be transmitted by the Company to such Backstop Purchaser or may be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to such Backstop Purchaser by crediting the DTC account of such Backstop Purchaser’s broker or other DTC participant as directed by such Backstop Purchaser.

(l) Sufficiency of Funds. Such Backstop Purchaser has and will have available funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Subscription Price for all Class A Common Stock to be purchased by such Backstop Purchaser hereunder.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Backstop Purchaser as follows:

The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign corporation

D-5

in each jurisdiction wherein the character of its property or the nature of the activities presently conducted by it, makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authorization; Enforceability. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, to the extent required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), subject to Stockholder Approval (as defined below), no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to approve this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement on behalf of the other Parties, this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception and, to the extent required by the rules of Nasdaq, the Stockholder Approval.

(c) Valid Issuance of Shares. All of the shares of Backstop Acquired Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be, as of the date of their issuance, duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor as provided in this Agreement, (i) will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) will be free and clear of all Liens (other than any restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities Laws), and (iii) will not be subject to any statutory or contractual preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 14. Counterparts.

PURPOSE

The Plan’s purpose is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities and/or equity-linked compensatory opportunities. If approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on [•], 2025, the Plan will amend and restate the 2021 Plan, and any Awards granted under the 2021 Plan prior to the Closing Date (the “Existing Awards”) shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan in effect before this amendment and restatement and the applicable Award Agreement. The Plan is being amended and restated as set forth herein in anticipation of the Closing and will not become effective unless (i) the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on [•], 2025 and (ii) the Closing occurs. Capitalized terms used in the Plan are defined in Article XI.

ARTICLE II.

ELIGIBILITY

Service Providers are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan, subject to the limitations described herein.

ARTICLE III.

ADMINISTRATION AND DELEGATION

3.1 Administration. The Plan is administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has authority to determine which Service Providers receive Awards, grant Awards and set Award terms and conditions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator also has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and to adopt, amend and repeal Plan administrative rules, guidelines and practices as it deems advisable. The Administrator may correct defects and ambiguities, supply omissions and reconcile inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award Agreement as it deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and any Awards. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan are in its sole discretion and will be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or any Award.

3.2 Appointment of Committees. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Board or the Administrator may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more Committees or one or more committees of directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following individuals: (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or (b) officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. The Board or the Administrator, as applicable, may rescind any such delegation, abolish any such Committee or committee and/or re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority at any time.

ARTICLE IV.

STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article VIII and the terms of this Article IV, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan following the Closing shall be equal to the Overall Share Limit. As of the Effective Date, the Company ceased

F-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

granting awards under the Prior Plans; however, Prior Plan Awards will remain subject to the terms of the applicable Prior Plan. Shares issued under the Plan may consist of authorized but unissued Shares, Shares purchased on the open market or treasury Shares.

4.2 Share Recycling. If all or any part of an Award (which shall include any Existing Awards) or Prior Plan Award expires, lapses or is terminated, exchanged for or settled in cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in the Company acquiring Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award at a price not greater than the price (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) paid by the Participant for such Shares or not issuing any Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award, the unused Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award will, as applicable, become or again be available for Award grants under the Plan with respect to Shares, other than with respect to any Shares subject to a Forfeited Section 16 Officer Award. In addition, Shares delivered (either by actual delivery or attestation) to the Company by a Participant to satisfy the applicable exercise or purchase price of an Award (which shall include any Existing Awards) or Prior Plan Award and/or to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award or Prior Plan Award (including Shares retained by the Company from the Award or Prior Plan Award being exercised or purchased and/or creating the tax obligation) will, as applicable, become or again be available for Award grants under the Plan with respect to Shares. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not count against the Overall Share Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall not be added to the Shares authorized for grant under Section 4.1 and shall not be available for future grants of Awards: (i) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof; (ii) Shares purchased on the open market by the Company with the cash proceeds from the exercise of Options; and (iii) Shares subject to any Forfeited Section 16 Officer Award.

4.3 Incentive Stock Option Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no more than 15,665,544 Shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

4.4 Substitute Awards. In connection with an entity’s merger or consolidation with the Company or the Company’s acquisition of an entity’s property or stock, the Administrator may grant Substitute Awards for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted before such merger or consolidation by such entity or its affiliate in accordance with Applicable Laws. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Administrator deems appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards will not count against the Overall Share Limit (nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award be added back to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 4.2 above), except that Shares acquired by exercise of substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not count against the Overall Share Limit (and Shares subject to such Awards shall not be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 4.2 above); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Service Providers prior to such acquisition or combination.

4.5 Non-Employee Director Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator may, pursuant to the exercise of its business judgment, taking into account such factors, circumstances and considerations as it deems relevant from time to time, establish compensation for some or all Non-Employee Directors from time to time, subject to the limitations in

F-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Plan and/or pursuant to a written nondiscretionary formula established by the Administrator (the “Non-Employee Director Compensation Program”). The sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of Awards granted to a Non-Employee Director as compensation for services as a non-employee Director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $750,000, increased to $1,000,000 in the fiscal year of a Non-Employee Director’s initial service as a Non-Employee Director (the “Director Limits”). The Administrator may make exceptions to the Director Limits in extraordinary circumstances, as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, provided that the Non-Employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other contemporaneous compensation decisions involving Non-Employee Directors.

ARTICLE V.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

5.1 General. The Administrator may grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to Service Providers subject to the limitations in the Plan, including any limitations in the Plan that apply to Incentive Stock Options. A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right) to receive from the Company upon exercise of the exercisable portion of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount determined by multiplying the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations of the Plan or that the Administrator may impose and payable in cash, Shares valued at Fair Market Value or a combination of the two as the Administrator may determine or provide in the Award Agreement.

5.2 Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each Option’s and Stock Appreciation Right’s exercise price and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. The exercise price will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Option (subject to Section 5.6) or Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code.

5.3 Duration. Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at such times and as specified in the Award Agreement, provided that, subject to Section 5.6, the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will not exceed ten years. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless determined otherwise by the Company, in the event that on the last business day of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right (other than an Incentive Stock Option) (a) the exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is prohibited by Applicable Law, as determined by the Company, or (b) Shares may not be purchased or sold by the applicable Participant due to any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods) or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be extended until the date that is 30 days after the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement, as determined by the Company; provided, however, in no event shall the extension last beyond the ten year term of the applicable Option or Stock Appreciation Right. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in the Award Agreement or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (i) no portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable and (ii) the portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall automatically expire thirty (30) days following such Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, if the Participant, prior to the end of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, violates the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other similar restrictive covenant provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or

F-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary, the right of the Participant and the Participant’s transferees to exercise any Option or Stock Appreciation Right issued to the Participant shall terminate immediately upon such violation, unless the Company otherwise determines.

5.4 Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivering to the Company a written notice of exercise, in a form the Administrator approves (which may be electronic), signed by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, payment in full (a) as specified in Section 5.5 for the number of Shares for which the Award is exercised and (b) as specified in Section 9.5 for any applicable taxes. Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

5.5 Payment Upon Exercise. Subject to Section 10.8, any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods) and Applicable Laws, the exercise price of an Option must be paid by:

(a) cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or by check payable to the order of the Company, provided that the Company may limit the use of one of the foregoing payment forms if one or more of the payment forms below is permitted;

(b) if there is a public market for Shares at the time of exercise, unless the Company otherwise determines, (i) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or (ii) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator;

(c) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value;

(d) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, surrendering Shares then issuable upon the Option’s exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

(e) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery of a promissory note or any other property that the Administrator determines is good and valuable consideration; or

(f) to the extent permitted by the Company, any combination of the above payment forms approved by the Administrator.

5.6 Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options only to employees of the Company, any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, respectively, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Option’s grant date, and the term of the Option will not exceed five years. All Incentive Stock Options will be subject to and construed consistently with Section 422 of the Code. By accepting an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers (other than in connection with a Change in Control) of Shares acquired under the Option made within (a) two years from the grant date of the Option or (b) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, specifying the date of the disposition or other transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, in such disposition or other transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party, if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code for any reason, including becoming exercisable with respect to Shares having a fair market value exceeding the $100,000 limitation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, will be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to all ordinary cash dividends paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise in the Award Agreement. In addition, unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, or consist of a dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock of property other than an ordinary cash dividend, the Shares or other property will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any award of Restricted Stock, dividends which are paid to holders of Common Stock prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the Participant holding such Restricted Stock to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied. All such dividend payments will be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the right to the dividend payment becomes nonforfeitable.

In connection with any Equity Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, the Administrator will equitably adjust each outstanding Award as it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may include adjusting the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and/or the Award’s exercise price or grant price (if applicable), granting new Awards to Participants, and making a cash payment to Participants. The adjustments provided under this Section 8.1 will be nondiscretionary and final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company; provided that the Administrator will determine whether an adjustment is equitable.

8.2 Corporate Transactions. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, amalgamation, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event, other unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any Applicable Laws or accounting principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event (except that action to give effect to a change in Applicable Law or accounting principles may be made within a reasonable period of time after such change) and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) facilitate such transaction or event or (z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Laws or accounting principles:

(a) To provide for the cancellation of any such Award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under the vested portion of such Award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment;

(b) To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;

F-6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and/or applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator;

(d) To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards and/or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article IV on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued, including pursuant to any Non-Employee Director Compensation Program) and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price or applicable performance goals), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards;

(e) To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; and/or

(f) To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.

8.3 Effect of Non-Assumption in a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2, if a Change in Control occurs and a Participant’s Award is not continued, converted, assumed or replaced with a substantially similar award by (i) the Company, or (ii) a successor entity or its parent or subsidiary (an “Assumption”), and provided that the Participant has not had a Termination of Service, then, immediately prior to the Change in Control, such Award shall become fully vested, exercisable and/or payable, as applicable, and all forfeiture, repurchase and other restrictions on such Award shall lapse, in which case, such Award shall be canceled upon the consummation of the Change in Control in exchange for the right to receive the Change in Control consideration payable to other holders of Common Stock (A) which may be on such terms and conditions as apply generally to holders of Common Stock under the Change in Control documents (including, without limitation, any escrow, earn-out or other deferred consideration provisions) or such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may provide, and (B) determined by reference to the number of Shares subject to such Award and net of any applicable exercise price; provided that to the extent that any Award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” that may not be paid upon the Change in Control under Section 409A without the imposition of taxes thereon under Section 409A (including payments as a result of any termination of “nonqualified deferred compensation” Awards permitted under Section 409A in connection with a Change in Control), the timing of such payments shall be governed by the applicable Award Agreement (subject to any deferred consideration provisions applicable under the Change in Control documents); and provided, further, that if the amount to which the Participant would be entitled upon the settlement or exercise of such Award at the time of the Change in Control is equal to or less than zero, then such Award may be terminated without payment. The Administrator shall determine whether an Assumption of an Award has occurred in connection with a Change in Control.

8.4 Administrative Stand Still. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Shares or the Share price, including any Equity Restructuring or any securities offering or other similar transaction, for administrative convenience, the Administrator may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award for up to 60 days before or after such transaction.

8.5 General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except as expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 8.1 or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant price or exercise price (if applicable). The existence of the

F-7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Plan, any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s right or power to make or authorize (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (b) any merger, consolidation dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of Company assets or (c) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares. The Administrator may treat Participants and Awards (or portions thereof) differently under this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX.

GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

9.1 Transferability. Except as the Administrator may determine or provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except for certain beneficiary designations, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, will be exercisable only by the Participant. Any permitted transfer of an Award hereunder shall be without consideration, except as required by Applicable Law, and such Award transferred to a permitted transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Participant and the Participant or transferor and the receiving permitted transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, will include references to a Participant’s authorized transferee that the Administrator specifically approves.

9.2 Documentation. Each Award will be evidenced in an Award Agreement, which may be written or electronic, as the Administrator determines. The Award Agreement will contain the terms and conditions applicable to an Award. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.

9.3 Discretion. Except as the Plan otherwise provides, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.

9.4 Change in Status. The Administrator will determine how the disability, death, retirement, an authorized leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Service Provider status affects an Award and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable.

9.5 Withholding. Each Participant must pay the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld in connection with such Participant’s Awards by the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Company may deduct an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations based on the applicable statutory withholding rates (or such other rate as may be determined by the Company after considering any accounting consequences or costs) from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant. In the absence of a contrary determination by the Company (or, with respect to withholding pursuant to clause (b) below with respect to Awards held by individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, a contrary determination by the Administrator), all tax withholding obligations will be calculated based on the maximum applicable statutory withholding rates. Subject to Section 10.8 and any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods), Participants may satisfy such tax obligations (a) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, by check made payable to the order of the Company, provided that the Company may limit the use of the foregoing payment forms if one or more of the payment forms below is permitted, (b) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, in whole or in part by delivery of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation and Shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery, (c) if there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligations are satisfied, unless the Company otherwise determines, (i) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker

F-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to satisfy the tax obligations, or (ii) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator, or (d) to the extent permitted by the Company, any combination of the foregoing payment forms approved by the Administrator. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be so delivered or retained pursuant to clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery or retention no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of such withholding (or such other rate as may be required to avoid the liability classification of the applicable Award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America); provided, however, to the extent such Shares were acquired by Participant from the Company as compensation, the Shares must have been held for the minimum period required by applicable accounting rules to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes; provided, further, that, any such Shares delivered or retained shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share to the extent rounding up to the nearest whole Share does not result in the liability classification of the applicable Award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. If any tax withholding obligation will be satisfied under clause (b) above by the Company’s retention of Shares from the Award creating the tax obligation and there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligation is satisfied, the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the applicable Participant’s behalf some or all of the Shares retained and to remit the proceeds of the sale to the Company or its designee, and each Participant’s acceptance of an Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s authorization to the Company and instruction and authorization to such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this sentence.

9.6 Amendment of Award. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including by substituting another Award of the same or a different type, changing the exercise or settlement date, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (a) the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, or (b) the change is permitted under Article VIII or pursuant to Section 10.6.

9.7 Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (a) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Company’s satisfaction, (b) as determined by the Company, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (c) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any Applicable Laws. The Company’s inability to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which the Administrator determines is necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any securities, will relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.

9.8 Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable.

9.9 Cash Settlement. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of the Plan, the Administrator may provide, in an Award Agreement or subsequent to the grant of an Award, in its discretion, that any Award may be settled in cash, Shares or a combination thereof.

9.10 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards, including amounts to be paid under the final sentence of Section 9.5: (a) any Shares to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as

F-9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

practicable; (b) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all Participants receive an average price; (c) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the Company or its designee receives proceeds of such sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company will pay such excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) the Company and its designees are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price; and (f) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

ARTICLE X.

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person will have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company and its Subsidiaries expressly reserve the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Award, except as expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan.

10.2 No Rights as Stockholder; Certificates. Subject to the Award Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary will have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless the Administrator otherwise determines or Applicable Laws require, the Company will not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares may be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan that the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

10.3 Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan became effective on October 26, 2021, which was the day prior to the Public Trading Date (the “Effective Date”) and, unless terminated earlier by the Board, shall remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, an Incentive Stock Option may not be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (a) the date the Board adopted the amendment and restatement of the 2021 Plan pursuant to the Plan or (b) the date the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2021 Plan pursuant to the Plan, but Incentive Stock Options previously granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with the Plan. If the Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on [•], 2025, or if the Closing does not occur as a result of the termination of the Exchange Agreement, the Plan will not become effective, no Awards will be granted under the Plan, and the 2021 Plan and the Prior Plans (to the extent in effect as of the date that the Exchange Agreement is terminated) will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

10.4 Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided that no amendment, other than an increase to the Overall Share Limit, may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment without the affected Participant’s consent. No Awards may be granted under the Plan during any suspension period or after the Plan’s termination. Awards outstanding at the time of any Plan suspension or termination will continue to be governed by the Plan and the Award Agreement, as in effect before such suspension or termination. The Board will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.

10.5 Provisions for Foreign Participants. The Administrator may modify Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or

F-10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

procedures under the Plan to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters; provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the Overall Share Limit or the Director Limit.

10.6 Section 409A.

(a) General. The Company intends that all Awards be structured to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A, such that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend this Plan or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to (i) exempt this Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (ii) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company will have no obligation under this Section 10.6 or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute noncompliant “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A.

(b) Separation from Service. If an Award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any payment or settlement of such Award upon a termination of a Participant’s Service Provider relationship will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or after the termination of the Participant’s Service Provider relationship. For purposes of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.”

(c) Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to be made under an Award to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his or her “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such “separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.

10.7 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such individual will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his or her capacity as an Administrator, director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, other employee and agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be granted or delegated any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith.

F-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

10.8 Lock-Up Period. The Company may, at the request of any underwriter representative or otherwise, in connection with registering the offering of any Company securities under the Securities Act, prohibit Participants from, directly or indirectly, selling or otherwise transferring any Shares or other Company securities during a period of up to 180 days following the effective date of a Company registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or such longer period as determined by the underwriter.

10.9 Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this section by and among the Company and any Subsidiary and any of their respective affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or any Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates; and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company, any Subsidiary or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company and any Subsidiary hold regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 10.9 in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. If the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 10.9, the Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards. For more information on the consequences of refusing or withdrawing consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

10.10 Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

10.11 Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary) that the Administrator has approved, the Plan will govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of the Plan will not apply.

10.12 Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding any state’s choice-of-law principles requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware.

10.13 Claw-back Provisions. All Awards (including, without limitation, any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the

F-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s Policy Relating to Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation and any other claw back policy adopted to comply with Applicable Laws, as and to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy or the Award Agreement.

10.14 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict, the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control.

10.15 Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Awards will be administered only in conformance with Applicable Laws. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Plan and all Award Agreements will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws.

10.16 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan will be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except as expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

Brooklyn, New York 11201

Members of the Board and the Finance Committee:

BTIG, LLC (“BTIG” or “we”) has been advised that Rent the Runway, Inc. (“RTR” or the “Company”) proposes to enter into an Exchange Agreement, to be dated as of August 20, 2025 (the “Exchange Agreement”), with CHS US Investments LLC (“Lender”), pursuant to which, among other things, Lender will contribute, transfer, assign and convey to RTR all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under all indebtedness in excess of $100 million outstanding under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2018, by and among RTR, as borrower, Lender, in its capacity as lender, and CHS (US) Management LLC (as successor-in-interest to Double Helix Pte Ltd), in its capacity as the administrative agent for Lender (the “Agent”, and such Credit Agreement, as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified to date, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) (the “Equity Exchange Obligations”), in exchange for the issuance to Lender of newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock representing 86% of the shares of Company Common Stock as of the Closing (after giving effect to the Conversion and the issuance of awards in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(iv)(B) of the Exchange Agreement but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the MIP) on a Fully Diluted Basis (the “Exchange Stock” and such transaction, the “Exchange”). The capitalized terms “Class A Common Stock”, “Company Common Stock”, “Closing”, “Conversion”, “Rights Offering”, “MIP” and “Fully Diluted Basis”, when used herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Exchange Agreement. We have been advised that the Equity Exchange Obligations are in the aggregate amount of $223 million as of the Company’s second quarter fiscal quarter end date of July 31, 2025 (with interest continuing to accrue through Closing pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, which interest we did not estimate and have not considered in forming our opinions expressed herein). We have further been advised that, concurrently with the execution of the Exchange Agreement, Lender, Gateway Runway, LLC (“Nexus”) and S3 RR Aggregator, LLC (“Story3”) propose to enter into a Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement, to be acknowledged and agreed by the Agent and, solely for purposes of Article I and Sections 5.1(b), 5.2, 7.2, 7.9, 7.11, 7.12, 7.13 and 7.14 thereto, the Company (the “Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Nexus and Story3 will purchase from Lender certain Exchange Stock and certain New Term Loans (as defined in the Exchange Agreement). The summary of the transaction set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Exchange Agreement.

The Board of Directors and the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of RTR (the “Board” and the “Committee”) have requested BTIG’s opinion, as investment bankers, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates) of the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (the “Opinion”).

In rendering our Opinion, we have, among other things:

(i)
reviewed an execution version of the Exchange Agreement;

(ii)
discussed the Exchange and related matters with RTR’s management;

(iii)
reviewed the audited financial statements of the Company for the two fiscal years ended January 31, 2025;

(iv)
reviewed and discussed with RTR’s management certain other publicly available information concerning RTR;

(v)
reviewed and discussed with RTR’s management certain non-public projected financial and operating data relating to the Company prepared and furnished to us by management of the Company (the “Company Projections”);

(vi)
discussed with RTR’s management the historical and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company (including their views on the risks and uncertainties of achieving the Company Projections) and such other matters as we deemed relevant;

(vii)
reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available information concerning the terms of selected transactions that we considered relevant to our analysis;

(viii)
reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial and stock market data relating to selected public companies that we considered relevant to our analysis;

(ix)
reviewed the reported prices and the historical trading activity of the Company’s Class A Common Stock;

(x)
evaluated the enterprise value of RTR implied by the various financial analyses we conducted;

(xi)
conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and considered such other information as we deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of our opinion; and

(xii)
taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuations and our knowledge of the Company’s industry generally.

In rendering our Opinion, we have relied upon and assumed, with your acknowledgement and consent, without independent investigation or verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to BTIG by or on behalf of the Company, or that was otherwise reviewed by BTIG, and have not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying any of such information. With respect to the Company Projections, we have assumed, at the direction of RTR, that they were reasonably prepared on the basis of reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future operating and financial performance of the Company and that they provided a reasonable basis upon which we could form our opinion. All such projected financial information is based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such projected financial information. BTIG has relied on this projected information without independent verification or analysis and does not in any respect assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

We have assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of the Company since the date of the last financial statements made available to us. We did not make or obtain any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of RTR’s assets or liabilities, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, BTIG assumes no responsibility for their accuracy.

We have assumed, with your consent, that there are no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions any necessary regulatory or governmental approval and that all conditions to the Exchange will be satisfied and not waived. We have also assumed that the Exchange will be consummated substantially on the terms and conditions described in the Exchange Agreement, including the Rights Offering, the Conversion and the issuance of awards in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(iv)(B) of the Exchange Agreement, without any waiver of material terms or conditions by RTR or any other party, and that obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals or satisfying any

other conditions for consummation of the Exchange will not have an adverse effect on RTR or the Exchange. We have also assumed that the Exchange will be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations and all other laws applicable to RTR. We have further assumed that RTR has relied upon the advice of its counsel, independent accountants and other advisors (other than BTIG) as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to RTR, the Exchange and the Exchange Agreement.

Our Opinion is limited to whether, as of the date hereof, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates), and does not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Exchange or any other transactions including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Exchange, any consequences of the Exchange or any other transactions on RTR, its stockholders, creditors or any other constituencies of RTR, or any terms, aspects or implications of any voting, support, stockholder, credit or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the Exchange or otherwise, including the Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) or the New Credit Agreement (as defined in the Exchange Agreement). Our Opinion also does not consider, address or include: (i) any other strategic alternatives currently (or which have been or may be) contemplated by RTR; (ii) the legal, tax or accounting consequences of the Exchange on RTR, its stockholders or any other party; (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of RTR, or any class of any such person, including pursuant to the MIP as contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, relative to the compensation paid to any other party; or (iv) the fairness of the amount or nature of any securities being sold by RTR pursuant to the Rights Offering or the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement. Furthermore, we are not expressing any opinion herein as to the prices, trading range or volume at which RTR’s securities will trade following public announcement or consummation of the Exchange or other transactions contemplated by the Agreement or related agreements. We also have not been requested to, and have not, participated in the structuring or negotiation of the Exchange or of such transactions.

Our Opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, financial and other conditions as they exist on the date hereof, and on the information made available to us by or on behalf of the Company or its advisors, or information otherwise reviewed by BTIG, as of the date of this Opinion. It is understood that subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in this Opinion and that BTIG does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion. Further, the credit, financial and stock markets are often affected by periods of volatility, and we express no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such volatility on RTR or the terms of the Exchange. Our Opinion is for the information of, and directed to, the Board and the Committee for its information and assistance in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the Exchange. Our Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board or the Committee as to how the Board or the Committee should vote on the Exchange or to any stockholder of RTR as to how any such stockholder should vote at any stockholders’ meeting at which the Exchange or any related transactions may be considered, or whether or not any stockholder of RTR should enter into a proxy, conversion, voting, stockholders’ or affiliates’ agreement with respect to or following the Exchange, or exercise any redemption, repurchase, exchange or similar rights that may be available to such stockholder. In addition, the Opinion does not compare the relative merits of the Exchange with any other alternative transactions or business strategies which may have been available to RTR and does not address the underlying business decision of the Board and the Committee or RTR to proceed with or effect the Exchange.

We are not legal, tax, regulatory or bankruptcy advisors. We have not considered any potential legislative or regulatory changes currently being considered or recently enacted by the United States Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or any other regulatory bodies, or

G-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the SEC or the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Our Opinion is not a solvency opinion and does not in any way address the solvency or financial condition of the Company.

BTIG, as part of its investment banking services, is regularly engaged in the independent valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, underwritings, sales and distributions of listed and unlisted securities, and private placements. We have acted as financial advisor to the Board and the Committee and will receive a fee, which will be due upon delivery of this Opinion, that is not contingent upon consummation of the Exchange. We will not receive any other significant payment or compensation contingent upon the successful consummation of the Exchange. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. BTIG may seek to provide investment banking services to the Company, Lender or their respective affiliates in the future, for which we would seek customary compensation. In the ordinary course of business, BTIG and our clients may effect transactions in the equity securities of the Company or Lender or their respective affiliates and may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

BTIG’s Fairness Opinion Committee has approved the issuance of this Opinion. Our Opinion may not be published or otherwise used or referred to, nor shall any public reference to BTIG be made, without our prior written consent, except in accordance with the terms and conditions of BTIG’s engagement letter agreement with RTR. This Opinion supersedes in its entirety any other written analyses or materials previously furnished by BTIG to the Company or its representatives.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the issuance of the Exchange Stock to Lender by RTR in exchange for the Equity Exchange Obligations pursuant to the Exchange Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Common Stock (exclusive of any Class A Common Stock held by Lender or its affiliates).
