(b)The appointment of the GFI Representative as each Selling Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact revokes any power of attorney or proxy heretofore granted that authorized any other Person or Persons to represent such Selling Stockholder with regard to this Agreement.

(f)The GFI Representative shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the service thereof. The GFI Representative may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that the Person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The GFI Representative may conclusively presume that the undersigned representative of any party hereto which is an entity other than a natural person has full power and authority to instruct the GFI Representative on behalf of that party unless written notice to the contrary is delivered to the GFI Representative.
(g)The GFI Representative may act pursuant to the advice of counsel with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such advice.
(h)The Company hereby agrees that the GFI Representative shall not, in its capacity as such, have any liability to the Company, or any of its Affiliates whatsoever with respect to its actions, decisions or determinations.

d.If at any time, the Board of Directors does not include three directors who qualify as independent directors pursuant to applicable SEC Guidance and the rules of the applicable stock exchange, the size of the Board of Directors shall be expanded so as to permit the appointment of the required Independent Designees and such vacancies shall be filled in accordance with Section 5.2(g).

f.The Company agrees with the Sponsor that, (i) during his Initial Term, for so long as the Sponsor or any Sponsor Affiliated Transferee, directly or indirectly beneficially owns any Common Stock, and (ii) thereafter, for so long as the Sponsor has the right to designate any Sponsor Designees pursuant to this Section 5, Mohsin Y.

g.The Company agrees with the Sponsor and the Company agrees with the GFI Representative that, in the event (i) the number of directors on the Board of Directors is increased (which increase shall be subject to Section 3.1(c) and/or Section 3.2(c)) or (ii) the Selling Stockholders’ or Sponsor’s (collectively with Mohsin Y. Meghji, M III LP (so long as such entity is controlled by the entity listed on Schedule A-1), the persons listed on Schedule A-2, and any Sponsor Affiliated Transferees), as applicable, aggregate direct or indirect beneficial ownership of Common Stock is increased after the Initial Closing Date,, the number of directors the GFI Representative or Sponsor, as applicable, is entitled to designate pursuant to

9



Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), as applicable shall be increased (but not decreased) proportionally so that the percentage of directors the GFI Representative or Sponsor, as applicable, is entitled to designate is proportional to the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of the GFI Representative and the Seller Affiliated Transferees or the Sponsor (collectively with Mohsin Y. Meghji, M III LP (so long as such entity is controlled by the entity listed on Schedule A-1), the persons listed on Schedule A-2, and any Sponsor Affiliated Transferees), as applicable (for such purposes, rounding up to the next whole director); provided that, in no event, will either the GFI Representative or the Sponsor be entitled to nominate a majority of the Board of Directors unless the GFI Representative’s (including the Seller Affiliated Transferees) or the Sponsor’s (including Mohsin Y. Meghji, M III LP (so long as such entity is controlled by the entity listed on Schedule A-1), the persons listed on Schedule A-2, and any Sponsor Affiliated Transferees), as applicable, direct and indirect beneficial ownership constitutes a majority of the outstanding Voting Securities. Any additional nominees to which such persons are entitled under this Section 5.2(g) shall qualify as independent directors pursuant to SEC Guidance and the rules of the applicable stock exchange to the extent necessary for the Company to comply with such rules and regulations.
h.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees with the Sponsor and the Company agrees with the GFI Representative and the Selling Stockholders to include the Designees in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the election of each such Designee to the Board of Directors, including nominating each such Designee to be elected as a director, recommending such Designee’s election and soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof, in each case subject to applicable law.
i.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE V, (i) for so long as the Seller Minimum Condition is satisfied, each Sponsor Designee shall require the approval of the GFI Representative (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such nominee is an investment professional and a bona fide officer or employee of the Sponsor or its managing members, general partners or management companies, and (ii) for so long as the Sponsor Minimum Condition is satisfied, each GFI Designee shall require the approval of the Sponsor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such nominee is an investment professional and an officer or employee of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P.
j.In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any director who was a GFI Designee or Sponsor Designee, the Company agrees to take at any time and from time to time all actions necessary to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled as promptly as practicable by a new GFI Designee or Sponsor Designee, as applicable (with respect to the applicable Initial Term only, regardless of the GFI Representative’s or Sponsor’s beneficial ownership of the Company Common Stock at the time of such vacancy).
k.Unless waived by a majority of the Board of Directors excluding the GFI Designees (in the case of removal of a GFI Designee) or the Sponsor Designees (in the case of removal of a Sponsor Designee), as applicable, if the number of directors entitled to be designated as GFI Designees or the Sponsor Designees as applicable, pursuant to Section 5.2(a) and/or Section 5.2(b), decreases, the applicable Stockholder(s) shall take reasonable actions to cause a sufficient number of GFI Designees or Sponsor Designees, as applicable, to resign from the Board of Directors as promptly as possible, such that the number of GFI Designees or Sponsor Designees, as applicable, after such resignation(s) equals the number of directors the GFI Representative or the Sponsor, as applicable, would have been entitled to designate pursuant to Section 5.2(a) and/or Section 5.2(b), as applicable. Any vacancies created by such resignation may remain vacant until the next annual meeting of stockholders or filled by a majority vote of the remaining Board of Directors in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such GFI Designee(s) or Sponsor Designee(s), as applicable, need not resign from the Board of Directors at or prior to the end of such director’s term if such director(s) is a member of the Initial Board and has not yet completed such director(s) Initial Term.

b.The Company agrees with the Sponsor that it shall take all reasonable actions to cause to be appointed to any committee of the Board of Directors, unless waived by the Sponsor, at least one Sponsor Designee (if any), to the extent such director is permitted to serve on such committees under SEC Guidance and the rules of any applicable stock exchange, until such time as the Earnout Shares (as defined in the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement) have fully vested or expired without vesting, in each case pursuant to the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement, whichever is earlier.
c.It is understood by the parties hereto that the GFI Representative, and the Sponsor shall not have any obligation to appoint a GFI Designee or Sponsor Designee, as applicable, to any committee of the Board of Directors and any failure to exercise such right in this section in a prior period shall not constitute any waiver of such right in a subsequent period.
d.The Company agrees with the GFI Representative and the Company agrees with the Sponsor that during the period from the date hereof until December 31, 2019, the Company shall establish and maintain an investment committee of

10

Section 9.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart shall for all purposes be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.

Section 9.9Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in ARTICLE VI nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto (or their respective legal representatives, successors, heirs and distributees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or provision contained herein, it being the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of such parties (or such legal representatives, successors, heirs and distributees) and for the benefit of no other Person.

Section 9.10Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, all the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the respective successors of the parties hereto. The rights of the GFI Representative and Sponsor hereunder are not assignable. Each Sponsor Affiliated Transferee and each Seller Affiliated Transferee shall be subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such shares such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits of and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to comply with all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no successor or assignee of the Company shall have any rights granted under this Agreement until such Person shall acknowledge its rights and obligations hereunder by a signed written statement of such Person’s acceptance of such rights and obligations.

Section 9.11Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to any circumstance, shall be adjudged by a court to be void, unenforceable or inoperative as a matter of law, then the same shall in no way affect any other provision in this Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstance or with respect to any other party, or the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole.

Section 9.12Reporting.

Section 9.13Adjustments Upon Change of Capitalization. In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock, by reason of dividends, splits, reverse splits, spin-offs, split-ups, recapitalizations, combinations, exchanges of shares and the like, the term “Common Stock” shall refer to and include the securities received or resulting therefrom, but only to the extent such securities are received in exchange for or in respect of Common Stock.

15



obligations of any Stockholder hereunder in a manner disproportionately adverse to such Stockholder as compared to the other Stockholders shall require the written consent of such Stockholder.
(b)No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.15Actions in Other Capacities. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit, restrict or otherwise affect any actions taken by any Stockholder in its capacity as a stockholder, partner or member of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
