indirectly, more than 40%, but less than or equal to 50%, of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (C) up to 30% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the Shareholder beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 30%, but less than or equal to 40%, of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (D) up to 20% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the Shareholder beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 20%, but less than or equal to 30%, of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (E) up to 10% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the Shareholder beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, at least 5% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (F) no directors in the event that the Shareholder beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, less than 5% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock.

In the event that the Shareholders has nominated less than the total number of designees the Shareholder shall be entitled to nominate pursuant to this Section 3.1(a), the Shareholder shall have the right, at any time, to nominate such additional designees to which it is entitled, in which case, the Board of Directors shall take all Necessary Action to (x) increase the size of the Board of Directors as required to enable the Shareholder to so nominate such additional designees and (y) designate such additional designees nominated by the Shareholder to fill such newly-created vacancies. Each such designee whom the Shareholder shall actually nominate pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) and is thereafter elected to the Board of Directors to serve as a Director shall be referred to herein as a “Shareholder Designee”;

(ii)the chief executive officer of Company and its subsidiaries, who initially shall be Christopher T. Holmes, shall serve on the Board of Directors of the Company; and

(iii)each additional designee shall be filled as provided in the Charter and Bylaws.

Company shall cause the individuals designated in accordance with this Section 3.1(a) to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors, shall solicit proxies in favor thereof, and at each meeting of the shareholders of Company at which directors of Company are to be elected, shall recommend that the shareholders of Company elect to the Board of Directors each such individual nominated for election at such meeting.

(b)Initial Shareholder Designees. The initial Shareholder Designees pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(a)(i) of this Agreement shall be the Shareholder, Orrin H. Ingram and Stuart C. McWhorter. Any remaining undesignated Shareholder Designees shall be designated by the Shareholder at such time as they shall determine.

(i)The Shareholder may remove a Shareholder Designee by sending a written notice to Company’s Secretary stating the name of the designee to be removed from the Board of Directors (the “Removal Notice”) and, upon receipt of such notice by Company’s Secretary, such designee shall be deemed to have resigned from the Board of Directors (and such a designee shall only be removed in such manner).

(ii)If at any time any Shareholder Designee ceases to serve on the Board of Directors (whether due to death, disability, resignation, removal or otherwise), the Shareholder shall designate or nominate a successor to fill the vacancy created thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement, and the Company will take all Necessary Actions within its control, to cause the designated successor to be elected to fill such vacancy.

Each Director shall be entitled to reimbursement from Company for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including travel) incurred in attending any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or governing body of any subsidiary of Company or any committee thereof.

3.2.Committees of the Board of Directors. For so long as the Company qualifies as a “controlled company” under applicable listing standards and subject to applicable Law, the Shareholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate (a) a majority of the members of any Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or similar committee of the Board of Directors and (b) up to two members of any Compensation Committee or similar committee of the Board of Directors. In the event that the Company no longer qualifies as a “controlled company” under applicable listing standards, the Shareholder shall continue to have the right to designate at least one member of each such committee of the Board of Directors for so long as permitted under applicable Law; provided, however, the Shareholder shall cease to have such right to designate a committee member in the event that the Shareholder ceases to have the right to designate a Director pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement.

(a)The Shareholder and Company hereby agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement or at law or in equity, that, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, when the Shareholder takes any action under this Agreement to give or withhold its consent, the Shareholder shall have no duty (fiduciary or other) to consider the interests of Company and may act exclusively in its own interest in its capacity as a Shareholder and shall have only the duty to act in good faith; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligations of the parties hereto to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)The provisions of this Agreement shall be controlling if any such provisions or the operation thereof conflict with the provisions of Company’s Bylaws. Each of the parties covenants and agrees to take all Necessary Actions within its control to ensure that the Charter and Bylaws do not, at any time, conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c)For so long as Company qualifies as a “controlled company” under the applicable listing standards then in effect, Company will elect to be a “controlled company” for purposes of such applicable listing standards, and will disclose in its annual meeting proxy statement that it is a “controlled company” and the basis for that determination. Company and the Shareholder acknowledge and agree that, as of the date of this Agreement, Company is a “controlled company.” After Company ceases to qualify as a “controlled company” under applicable listing standards then in effect, the Shareholder acknowledges that a sufficient number of their designees will be required to qualify as “independent directors” to ensure that the Board of Directors complies with such applicable listing standards in the time periods required by the applicable listing standards then in effect, and shall discuss and use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon appropriate changes to their designees consistent with the foregoing.

clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding proviso shall be attributable to the Shareholder for purposes of determining Shareholder’s compliance with this Section 4.1.

4.3.Access to Agreement; Amendment and Waiver; Actions of the Board. Any party may waive in writing any provision hereof intended for its benefit, provided, that, in the case of any waiver by Company, such waiver is consented to in writing by the Shareholder. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to any party at law or in equity or otherwise. This Agreement may be amended with the prior written consent of the Shareholder.

4.4 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed (by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid), sent by express overnight courier service, or delivered to the applicable party at the respective address indicated below:

All such notices, requests, demands and other communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed or sent, respectively, be effective (i) two days after being deposited in the mail or (ii) one day after being deposited with the express overnight courier service, respectively, addressed as aforesaid.

4.5.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and delivered via facsimile, .pdf or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

4.6.Remedies; Severability. It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any party will result in irreparable injury to the other parties, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which they may have, such other parties may enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance or injunctive relief (to the extent permitted at law or in equity). If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein are not to be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

4.7.Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement as to the subject matter hereof and, together with the Registration Rights Agreement and the Charter, intended to be complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to that subject matter, and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings among the parties hereto with regard to such subject matter.

This Agreement shall terminate (a) if the Initial Public Offering is not consummated by December 31, 2016, or (b) on the earlier of (i) death or the Permanent Disability of the Shareholder or (ii) such date as the Shareholder, in the aggregate, holds less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

4.9.Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

4.10.Successors and Assigns; Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and the respective successors and assigns of the parties as contemplated herein, and shall also apply to any Common Stock acquired by the Shareholder after the date hereof; provided, that neither this Agreement nor any right arising under this Agreement may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the Shareholder, and any attempted assignment, without such consent, will be null and void. Any successor to Company by way of merger or otherwise must specifically agree to be bound by the terms hereof as a condition of such succession.

(a)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Nashville, Tennessee to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the negotiation, breach, validity, termination or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and agrees that it will not bring any such action in any court other than the federal or state courts located in Nashville, Tennessee. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding in such courts based upon lack of personal

jurisdiction or to the laying of venue in such courts and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given as provided in Section 4.4 of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto. The choice of forum set forth in this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment of a Tennessee federal or state court, or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce such a judgment, in any other appropriate jurisdiction.

(b)EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED PURSUANT TO OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE NEGOTIATION, BREACH, VALIDITY, TERMINATION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF AND THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. FURTHER, (I) NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH ACTION AND (II) NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 4.11. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

4.12.Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as any other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the provisions of this Agreement and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

4.13.Regulatory Matters. Company shall and shall cause its subsidiaries to keep the Shareholder informed, on a current basis, of any events, discussions, notices or changes with respect to any criminal or regulatory investigation or action involving Company or any of its subsidiaries, so that the Shareholder and his respective Affiliates will have the opportunity to take appropriate steps to avoid or mitigate any regulatory consequences to them that might arise from such investigation or action.

4.14.Inconsistent Agreements. Neither Company nor the Shareholder shall enter into any agreement or side letter with, or grant any proxy to, the Shareholder, Company or any other Person (whether or not such proxy, agreements or side letters are with holders of Common Shares that are not parties to this Agreement or otherwise) that conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement or which would obligate such Person to breach any provision of this Agreement.

4.15.Effectiveness of Agreement. Upon effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering, this Agreement shall thereupon be deemed to be in effect. However, to the extent such Initial Public Offering is not consummated within 60 days following the effectiveness of the registration statement relating thereto, the provisions of this Agreement shall be without any force or effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties are signing this Shareholder’s Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
