(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, if and to the extent applicable, a Stockholder proposes to Transfer (a “Transferring Stockholder”) (i) if such Transferring Stockholder is a Noteholder Investor, any or all of its Company Shares representing more than 7.5% of the outstanding number of Company Shares and (ii) if such Transferring Stockholder is any Stockholder other than a Noteholder Investor, any or all of its Company Shares, other than (w) pursuant to Section 4.2, (x) Transfers pursuant to a registered public offering, (y) to a ROFO Offeree pursuant to the exercise of such ROFO Offeree’s rights set forth in Section 4.3 or (z) pursuant to or consequent upon the exercise of the drag-along rights set forth in Section 4.5 (a “Proposed Transfer”), each holder of Company Shares who exercises its rights under this Section 4.4(a) (a “Tagging Stockholder”) shall have the right to Transfer its Pro Rata Portion of Company Shares to the proposed Transferee (a “Proposed Transferee”) on the same terms and conditions as those proposed by the Transferring Stockholder.

(b)The Transferring Stockholder shall promptly give written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to each other holder of Company Shares (the “Tag-Along Offeree”) of a Proposed Transfer, setting forth the number of Company Shares proposed to be Transferred, the name of the Transferring Stockholder, the name and address of the Proposed Transferee, the proposed per share purchase price (or amount) and form of consideration for such Company Shares and any other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer. Each Tag-Along Offeree shall have a period of fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the Tag-Along Notice

within which to elect to sell up to its Pro Rata Portion of Company Shares in connection with such Proposed Transfer. Any Tag-Along Offeree may exercise such right by delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the Transferring Stockholder specifying the number of Company Shares (which shall be not more than its Pro Rata Portion) it desires to include in the Proposed Transfer. If the Proposed Transferee fails to purchase all Company Shares proposed to be Transferred by the Transferring Stockholder, the Company stockholders who have exercised their tag-along rights under the Management Stockholders’ Agreement and the Tagging Stockholders, then the number of Company Shares the Transferring Stockholder and each Tagging Stockholder is permitted to sell in such Transfer shall be allocated among the Tagging Stockholders and the other Company stockholders who have exercised their tag-along rights under the Management Stockholders’ Agreement in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Company Shares which each Tagging Stockholder properly requested to be included in the Proposed Transfer. The Transferring Stockholder shall have a period of ninety (90) days following the expiration of the fifteen (15) Business Day period, to sell such Company Shares to the Proposed Transferee, on the payment terms specified in the Tag-Along Notice, and thereafter the Transferring Stockholder may not Transfer any such Company Shares without first following the procedures set forth in this Section 4.4.

(c)Each Tagging Stockholder shall agree (i) to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Proposed Transferee as made by the Transferring Stockholder in connection with the Proposed Transfer (other than any non-competition, non-solicitation or other non-financial related agreements or covenants that would bind such Tagging Stockholder or its Affiliates without such Tagging Stockholder’s prior written consent), and (ii) to the same terms and conditions to the Transfer as the Transferring Stockholder agrees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by each Tagging Stockholder and the Transferring Stockholder severally and not jointly, and, except with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of the Tagging Stockholder as to the unencumbered title to its Company Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Company Shares, any liability for breach of any such representations and warranties or under any indemnities shall be allocated among each Tagging Stockholder, the other holders of shares of Common Stock who have exercised their tag-along rights under the Management Stockholders’ Agreement and the Transferring Stockholder pro rata based on the relative sale price of the shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by each of them, and the aggregate amount of liability for each such Tagging Stockholder and the Transferring Stockholder shall not in any event exceed the U.S. dollar value of the net proceeds received by such Tagging Stockholder or the Transferring Stockholder, respectively, from the Transferee. Any Transfer of Company Shares by a Tagging Stockholder pursuant to the terms hereof shall be at a per share purchase price (or amount) specified in the Tag-Along Notice and all Stockholders shall receive the same relative proportion of cash and Marketable Securities.

(d)All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Proposed Transfer (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be allocated among the Transferring Stockholder, the other holders of shares of Common Stock who have exercised their tag-along rights under the Management Stockholders’ Agreement and each Tagging Stockholder pro rata based on the relative proceeds

to be received by each of them from the sale of the shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by each of them.

(e)Each Stockholder may assign its tag-along rights (in whole or in part) under the terms of this Section 4.4 to any of its Affiliates that is a Stockholder.

Section 4.5Drag-Along Rights.

(a)If TPG agrees at any time to Transfer, in any single or series of related transactions, at least eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate Purchase Price Value of the Sponsor Shares then held by TPG and its Affiliates to a non-affiliated third party (a “Drag-Along Transfer” and such purchaser, the “Drag-Along Buyer”) for cash and/or Marketable Securities, TPG may exercise drag-along rights with respect to all other Stockholders in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth herein.

(b)TPG shall promptly give notice (a “Drag-Along Notice”) to each holder of Company Shares (the “Drag-Along Stockholders”) of any election by TPG to exercise its drag-along rights under this Section 4.5, setting forth the name and address of the Transferee, the total number of Company Shares proposed to be Transferred by TPG and its Affiliates, the proposed amount per share and form of consideration for the Company Shares, and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Transfer. Such notice shall also specify the number of Company Shares such Drag-Along Stockholders shall be required to Transfer, up to such Drag-Along Stockholders’ Pro Rata Portion for the Company Shares; provided that the portion of Company Shares with respect to each Drag Along Stockholder is the same relative proportion for all Drag-Along Stockholders. Any Transfer of Company Shares by a Drag-Along Stockholder pursuant to the terms hereof shall be at the same per share purchase price for the Company Shares sold by TPG and its Affiliates and specified in the Drag-Along Notice and each Drag-Along Stockholder shall receive the same relative proportion of cash and Marketable Securities.

(c)Each Drag-Along Stockholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to (i) make individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements solely as to the title to, and the absence of any Adverse Claims with respect to, its Company Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Company Shares, (ii) execute and deliver agreements, covenants and indemnities as made by TPG in connection with the Drag-Along Transfer (other than any non-competition, non-solicitation or other non-financial agreements or covenants that would bind such Drag-Along Stockholder or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of such Drag-Along Stockholder), (iii) agree to, except as provided in the preceding subclause (ii), the same terms and conditions to the Transfer as TPG agrees, (iv) not demand or exercise appraisal or dissenters rights under any applicable business corporation or other law with respect to a transaction subject to this Section 4.5 as to which such appraisal rights are available and (v) be liable as to all representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements being made, agreed to or delivered by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or in respect of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective businesses, in connection with such transaction (other than the individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of the type set forth in subclause (i)), in each case to the same extent as TPG but pro rata based on the relative proceeds to be received by each of them from the sale of the shares of Common Stock Transferred by each of

them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of liability for TPG and such Drag-Along Stockholders shall not in any event exceed the U.S. dollar value of the net proceeds received by TPG and such Drag-Along Stockholders, respectively.

(d)In the event that any such Transfer is structured as a merger, consolidation, or similar business combination, each Drag-Along Stockholder agrees to (i) subject to Section 3.2, vote in favor of the transaction and (ii) subject to Section 4.5(b), take such other action as may be required to effect such transaction.

(e)Solely for purposes of Section 4.5(d)(i) and in order to secure the performance of each holder of Company Share’s obligations under Section 4.5(d)(i) (but subject in all instances to Section 3.2), each holder of Company Shares hereby irrevocably appoints TPG (or a designee thereof) the attorney-in-fact and proxy of such holder of Company Shares (with full power of substitution) to vote or provide a written consent with respect to its Company Shares as described in this paragraph if, and only in the event that, such holder of Company Shares fails to vote or provide a written consent with respect to its Company Shares in accordance with the terms of Section 4.5(d)(i) (each such holder of Company Shares, a “Breaching Drag-Along Stockholder”) within three (3) days of a request for such vote or written consent. Upon such failure, TPG shall have and is hereby irrevocably granted a proxy to vote or provide a written consent with respect to each such Breaching Drag-Along Stockholder’s Company Shares for the purposes of taking the actions required by Section 4.5(d)(i). Each holder of Company Shares intends this proxy to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and each holder of Company Shares will take such further action and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by it with respect to the matters set forth in Section 4.5(d)(i) with respect to the Company Shares owned by such holder of Company Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conditional proxy granted by this Section 4.5(e) shall be deemed to be revoked upon the termination of this Article IV in accordance with its terms.

(f)All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Drag-Along Transfer (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, incurred in connection with any proposed Drag-Along Transfer, shall be borne by the Company.

(g)If a Drag-Along Stockholder fails to transfer to the Drag-Along Buyer the Company Shares required to be sold pursuant to this Section 4.5, TPG may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, deposit the purchase price for such Company Shares with any national bank or trust company having combined capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of $500 million (the “Escrow Agent”), and the Company will cancel on its books the certificate or certificates representing such Company Shares and thereupon all of such Drag-Along Stockholder’s rights in and to such Company Shares shall terminate. Thereafter, upon delivery to the Company by such Drag-Along Stockholder of appropriate documentation evidencing the Transfer of such Company Shares to the Drag-Along Buyer (including, to the extent applicable, certificate or certificates evidencing such Company Shares (duly endorsed, or with stock powers duly endorsed, for transfer, with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, and with any transfer tax stamps affixed)), TPG shall instruct the Escrow

Agent to deliver the purchase price (without any interest from the date of the closing to the date of such delivery, any such interest to accrue to the Company) to such Drag-Along Stockholder.

Section 4.6Miscellaneous.

(a)Any Transfer of Company Shares, which Transfer is otherwise in compliance herewith, shall be permitted hereunder only if the transferee of such Company Shares agrees in writing that it shall, upon such Transfer, assume with respect to such Company Shares the rights and obligations under this Agreement and become a party to this Agreement for such purpose, and any other agreement or instrument executed and delivered by such transferor in respect of the Company Shares; provided, however, that this Section 4.6(a) shall not apply to (i) Transfers of Company Shares to a Stockholder that is already a party to this Agreement, (ii) Transfers pursuant to a registered public offering or (iii) Transfers pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 4.5; provided, further, that no Transferee (other than any Permitted Transferee of the applicable Stockholder) shall acquire any of the rights of the applicable transferor provided in Article III, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5 or Article VI hereof by reason of such Transfer and any Transferee (other than a Permitted Transferee of the applicable Stockholder) of Company Shares held by TPG, LGP, MD Investor or any Other Investor shall be deemed an “Other Investor”, and such transferred Company Shares deemed “Other Investor Shares”, for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)Each Tagging Stockholder or Drag-Along Stockholder (each, a “Participating Seller”) and each Stockholder Transferring any Company Shares to a ROFO Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.3, whether in his, her or its capacity as a Participating Seller, stockholder, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to expeditiously consummate each Transfer pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 4.4 or Section 4.5 hereof and any related transactions, including, without limitation, executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise using commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the ROFO Purchaser (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof), Transferring Stockholder (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof) or TPG (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof), as applicable, and the Proposed Transferee or Drag-Along Buyer, as applicable.

(c)The Transferring Stockholder (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof) or TPG (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof), as applicable, may, in their sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any proposed Transfer and the terms and conditions thereof.

(d)Each Participating Seller agrees that to the extent he, she or it desires to include vested and exercisable Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Transfer of Company Shares pursuant to this Article IV, he, she or it will be deemed to have exercised, converted or exchanged such vested and exercisable Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities immediately prior to the closing of such Transfer to the extent necessary to Transfer shares of Common Stock to the Proposed Transferee, except to the extent permitted under the terms of any such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security and agreed to by the Board of Directors and the

Proposed Transferee. In the event that Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities are deemed exercised pursuant to the preceding sentence, payment of any purchase or exercise price, if applicable, and minimum statutory withholding tax amount, if any, shall be satisfied through payment of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such exercise, conversion, or exchange. If any Participating Seller Transfers Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Transfer pursuant to this Article IV, such Participating Seller shall receive in exchange for such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities consideration equal to the amount (if greater than zero) determined by multiplying (a) the purchase price per share of the Common Stock received by the Transferring Stockholder in such Transfer less the unpaid exercise or conversion price, if any, per share of such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security by (b) the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security (to the extent exercisable, convertible or exchangeable at the time of such Transfer), subject to reduction for any tax or other amounts required to be withheld under applicable law.

(e)The closing of a Transfer to which Section 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 hereof applies will take place at such time and place as the ROFO Stockholder specifies (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof), Transferring Stockholder specifies (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof) or TPG specifies (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof) by notice to each ROFO Offeree or Participating Seller, as applicable, each subject to any restrictions as to timing set forth in Section 4.4 or 4.5. At the closing of such Transfer, each ROFO Purchaser or Participating Seller, as applicable, shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Company Shares to be sold by such ROFO Purchaser or Participating Seller, as applicable, duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, with any stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration.

Section 4.7Termination of Transfer Restrictions. The provisions of this Article IV (other than Sections 4.1(b) and 4.6(a)) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon an IPO.

Article V

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 5.1Preemptive Rights. (a) At any time following the date hereof until an IPO, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, if the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries proposes to issue additional Company Shares or equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries, including any warrants, options or other rights to acquire Company Shares, equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries or debt securities that are convertible into Company Shares or equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries to any Person (with the exception of any issuance (i) as consideration in any merger, acquisition or similar transaction, (ii) in an IPO, (iii) as consideration in a joint venture or any other strategic transaction, (iv) to a financial institution in connection with any borrowing, (v) to employees, advisors or consultants pursuant to an employee incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors or to employees

pursuant to a subscription agreement for the purchase of shares in connection with the Closing, (vi) by a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries to the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries, (vii) as a result of the conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of any warrants, options or other rights (in each case, having been issued in accordance with this Section 5.1 and otherwise approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and (viii) in connection with any stock split, stock combination, stock dividend, distribution or recapitalization) (a “New Issuance” and any such Company Shares or equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries, “Newly Issued Securities”), the Company shall provide written notice to each Sponsor, each Noteholder Investor and the MD Investor (each, a “Preemptive Rights Holders”) of such anticipated issuance no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the anticipated issuance date (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”). The Preemptive Rights Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the New Issuance, including the proposed purchase price for the Newly Issued Securities, the anticipated issuance date, and the purpose of such New Issuance. Each Preemptive Rights Holder shall have the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion of such Newly Issued Securities at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice by delivering an irrevocable written notice to the Company no later than five (5) Business Days before the anticipated issuance date, setting forth the number of such Newly Issued Securities for which such right is exercised. Such notice shall also include the maximum number of Newly Issued Securities such Preemptive Rights Holders would be willing to purchase in the event any other Stockholder with preemptive rights and entitled to participate elects to purchase less than its Pro Rata Portion of such Newly Issued Securities. If any such stockholder elects not to purchase its full Pro Rata Portion of such Newly Issued Securities, the Company shall allocate any remaining amount among those Preemptive Rights Holders (pro rata in accordance with the Over-Allocation Pro-Rata Portion of each such Stockholder up to, in the case of each such stockholder, the maximum number specified by such Stockholder pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) who have indicated in their notice to the Company a desire to purchase Newly Issued Securities in excess of their respective Pro Rata Portions.

(b)In the event the Preemptive Rights Holders do not purchase all such Newly Issued Securities (including the Preemptive Rights Holders in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.1(a)), the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or the other relevant subsidiary, as applicable, shall have sixty (60) days after the expiration of the anticipated issuance date (subject to extension if necessary to permit the expiration or early termination of the HSR Waiting Period) to sell to other Persons (including any Stockholder) the remaining Newly Issued Securities at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice. If the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or the other relevant subsidiary, as applicable, fails to sell such Newly Issued Securities within such period, the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or the other relevant subsidiary, as applicable, shall not thereafter issue or sell such Newly Issued Securities without first offering the same to the Preemptive Rights Holders in the manner provided in Section 5.1(a).

(c)In the event that any Preemptive Rights Holder purchases any equity securities from the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any subsidiary thereof, other than new Company Shares pursuant to Section 5.1(a), such Stockholder shall execute a shareholders’ agreement with respect to such securities with terms that are substantially

equivalent, mutatis mutandis, to this Agreement (including the registration rights provided for in Article VI hereof); provided that such shareholders’ agreement shall terminate upon the same terms and conditions as provided herein.

(d)Any Newly Issued Securities constituting shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by any Sponsor or MD Investor pursuant to this Article V shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be Sponsor Shares or MD Investor Shares hereunder, as applicable.

(e)The election by a Preemptive Rights Holder not to exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 5.1 in any one instance shall not affect its right (other than in respect of a reduction in its Ownership Interest, if applicable) to exercise its preemptive rights with respect to any future issuances under Section 5.1. Any attempted Transfer of such securities by the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any other subsidiary without first giving the Stockholders the rights described in Section 5.1 shall be void and of no force and effect.

(f)Notwithstanding the notice requirements of Section 5.1(a) above, the Company may proceed with any New Issuance prior to having complied with the provisions of Section 5.1(a); provided that the Company shall:

(i)provide to each such holder of Company Shares who would have been a recipient of a Preemptive Rights Notice (i) notice within two (2) Business Days thereafter of such New Issuance and (ii) the Preemptive Rights Notice described in Section 5.1(a) in which the actual purchase price of Newly Issued Securities shall be set forth;

(ii)offer to issue to each such holder of Company Shares such number of Newly Issued Securities as may be requested by such holder (not to exceed an amount equal to (i) the Pro Rata Portion that such holder would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 5.1(a) multiplied by the number of Newly Issued Securities included in the New Issuance plus (ii) a number of additional securities sufficient to permit such holder to acquire, in total, the same percentage of the aggregate number of all securities included in the relevant New Issuances effected pursuant to this Section 5.1 as such holder would have been entitled to acquire had the Company proceeded with the relevant New Issuances under Section 5.1(a) rather than pursuant to this Section 5.1(f) on the same economic terms and conditions with respect to such securities as the subscribers in the New Issuance received); and

(iii)keep such offer open for a period of at least fifteen (15) Business Days, during which period, each such holder may accept such offer by sending a written acceptance to the Company committing to purchase an amount of such securities (not in any event to exceed the Pro Rata Portion that such holder would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 5.1 multiplied by the number of all such Newly Issued Securities included in all such relevant New Issuances).

Section 5.2Termination of Preemptive Rights. The provisions of this Article V shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon an IPO.

Article VI

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 6.1Demand Registration.

(a)IPO and Demand by Holders.

(i)TPG, following consultation with LGP, and, until the earlier of (i) MD’s Death or Disability and (ii) such time that the MD Investors have sold more than 50% of the Company Shares held by the MD Investors as of the date of this Agreement, MD, shall have the right, by delivering or causing to be delivered a written notice to the Issuer by the Majority TPG Investors, to require the Issuer to register, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the sale of the number of shares of Issuer Shares and Registrable Securities (if any) specified by TPG (in consultation with LGP and, until the earlier of (i) MD’s Death or Disability and (ii) such time that the MD Investors have sold more than 50% of the Company Shares held by the MD Investors as of the date of this Agreement, MD) to be so issued and sold in an IPO (an “IPO Demand Registration”). In connection with any such IPO in which TPG is selling (or causing to be sold) Registrable Securities held by it in such IPO (whether pursuant to an IPO Demand Registration or otherwise), the Issuer shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after receipt of any request for an IPO Demand Registration) deliver a written notice to the other Sponsors, the MD Investors and any Noteholder Investor that holds at least 2% of the outstanding Registrable Securities on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis, and in such event each such Sponsor, MD Investor and any such Noteholder Investor(s) shall have the right to participate in such offering on a pro rata basis with TPG (it being understood that in connection with any IPO in which TPG is not selling (or causing to be sold) Registrable Securities held by it, no such notice need be sent and no Registrable Securities of the other Sponsors, the MD Investors or the Noteholder Investors need be included in the registration for the IPO).

(ii)If at any time after the Effectiveness Date, there is no currently effective Shelf Registration Statement on file with the SEC, (i) any of the Majority TPG Investors, (ii) so long as the MD Investors then hold the Demand Threshold Amount, the Majority MD Investors, (iii) so long as LGP then holds the Demand Threshold Amount, any of the Majority LGP Investors or (iv) any Noteholder Investor that holds the Demand Threshold Amount (each of the Majority TPG Investors, the Majority MD Investors, the Majority LGP Investors, or any such Noteholder Investor, a “Demand Holder”) shall have the right to make a written request to the Issuer for Registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by it on (x) Form S-1 or any successor form or any similar long-form registration statement (a “Long-Form Registration”), or (y) Form S-3 or any successor form or any similar short-form registration statement (a “Short-Form Registration”) if the Issuer is qualified to use such short form. Any such request pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.1(a) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Demand Registration.” Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify (x) the kind and aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be Registered and/or, in the case of an IPO Demand

Registration, the number of shares of Issuer Shares to be issued and sold and the number of Registrable Securities (if any) to be sold, and (y) the intended methods of disposition thereof.

(iii)Within (x) ninety (90) days in the case of a request for a Long-Form Registration, (y) thirty (30) days in the case of a request for a Short-Form Registration, or (z) one hundred twenty (120) days in the case of an IPO Demand Registration, the Issuer shall file a Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration (a “Demand Registration Statement”), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause (i) such Demand Registration Statement to promptly be declared effective under the Securities Act, and (ii) the offer and sale of Registrable Securities to be otherwise registered and/or qualified under the “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities being registered under such Registration Statement or any underwriter, if any, reasonably requests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any registered public offering made pursuant to this Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 within twelve (12) months of an IPO shall require the consent of the Sponsors holding, in the aggregate, at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Company Shares held by the Sponsors.

(b)Limitation on Demand Registrations. Subject to Section 6.1(a), each Demand Holder shall have the right to request up to three (3) Long-Form Registrations and an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each Demand Holder may request no more than one (1) Demand Registration in any 12-month period, and (ii) in no event shall the Issuer be required to effect more than a total of three (3) Demand Registrations in any 12-month period; provided, however, that such limitations shall not apply to an IPO Demand Registration, which IPO Demand Registration may only be made as provided in Section 6.1(a)(i); and provided, further, that any Demand Registrations pursuant to which the Demand Holder(s) and all other holders of Registrable Securities joining therein are not able to include at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities which they requested to include, shall not be included in the calculation of the numbers of registrations contemplated by this clause (b).

(c)Demand Withdrawal. A Demanding Holder, and any other Holder that has requested its Registrable Securities be included in a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 6.1(e) or any Sponsor or MD Investor that has elected to participate in an IPO offering pursuant to Section 6.1(a) may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration from such Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement. Upon receipt of a notice to such effect from a Demanding Holder (or if there is more than one Demanding Holder, from all such Demanding Holders) with respect to all of the Registrable Securities included by such Demanding Holder(s) in such Demand Registration, the Issuer shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement and such Registration nonetheless shall be deemed a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 6.1(b) unless (i) the withdrawing Demanding Holder(s) shall have paid or reimbursed the Issuer for its or their pro rata share of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with the Registration (based on the number of securities the Demanding Holder(s) sought to register, as compared to the total number of securities included in such Demand Registration Statement) or

(ii) if such withdrawal is made following the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change or because the Registration would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure.

(d)Effective Registration. The Issuer shall be deemed to have effected a Demand Registration if the Demand Registration Statement has become effective and remains effective for not less than one hundred eighty (180) days (or such shorter period as will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold or withdrawn), or if such Registration Statement relates to an Underwritten Offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters a Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer (the applicable period, the “Demand Period”). No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have been effected if (i) during the Demand Period such Registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court or (ii) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Registration are not satisfied other than by reason of a wrongful act, misrepresentation or breach of such applicable underwriting agreement by a participating Holder.

(e)Demand Notice. Promptly upon receipt of any request for a Demand Registration other than an IPO Demand Registration pursuant to Section 6.1(a) (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Issuer shall deliver a written notice (a “Demand Notice”) of any such Registration request to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and the Issuer shall include in such Demand Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Issuer has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business Days after the date that the Demand Notice has been delivered. All requests made pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of distribution of such securities.

(f)Delay in Filing; Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Demand Registration Statement at any time would require the Issuer to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Issuer may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Demand Registration Statement (a “Demand Suspension”); provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be permitted to exercise a Demand Suspension (i) more than once during any twelve (12)-month period, or (ii) for a period exceeding thirty (30) days on any one occasion. In the case of a Demand Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Issuer shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Demand Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the holders may reasonably request. The Issuer shall, if necessary, supplement or make amendments to the Demand Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Issuer for the Demand Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities that are included in such Demand Registration Statement.

(g)Underwritten Offering. If a Demanding Holder so requests, an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering. The Demanding Holder shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering; provided that such managing underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and TPG; provided, further, that LGP, so long as LGP then hold at least 10% of the outstanding Registrable Securities on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis, shall have the right to participate with TPG in selecting the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to the IPO.

(h)Priority of Securities Registered Pursuant to Demand Registrations. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering of the Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration (or, in the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, the Demanding Holders holding a majority of the Demanding Holders’ Registrable Securities included therein), advise the Board of Directors in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Registration shall be (i) in the case of any Demand Registration other than an IPO Demand Registration (x) first, allocated pro rata among the Holders that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration (based on the relative number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein), (y) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (x) have been included, the number of other securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters (or Demanding Holders holding a majority of the Demanding Holders’ Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration, if applicable) can be sold without having such adverse effect, and (ii) in the case of an IPO Demand Registration, (x) first, one hundred percent (100%) of the securities that the Issuer proposes to issue, and (y) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (x) have been included, the number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated pro rata among the participating Sponsors based on the relative number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein then held by each such Sponsor.

(i)In the event that a Holder requests to participate in a Registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the Registration shall provide for resale by such partners or members, if requested by the Holder.

Section 6.2Shelf Registration.

(a)Filing. As promptly as practicable following a demand by any Demand Holder at any time after the Effectiveness Date, the Issuer shall file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by any Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act. If, on the date of any such demand, the Issuer does not qualify to file a Shelf Registration Statement, then the provisions of Section 6.1 shall apply instead.

(b)Continued Effectiveness. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Holders until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or another Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder) and (ii) the date as of which each of the Holders is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities without Registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume limitations or other restrictions on transfer thereunder (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). Subject to Section 6.2(d), the Issuer shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period if the Issuer voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in Holders of the Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law.

(c)Shelf Notice. Promptly upon receipt of any request to file a Shelf Registration Statement (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Issuer shall deliver a written notice of any such request to all other Holders specifying the amount of Registrable Securities to be Registered.

(d)Suspension of Registration. If the continued use of such Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Issuer to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Issuer may, upon giving at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension (i) more than one time during any twelve (12)-month period, or (ii) for a period exceeding thirty (30) days on any one occasion. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Issuer shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as the Holders may reasonably request. The Issuer shall, if necessary, supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Issuer for the Shelf Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.

(e)Underwritten Offering. If any Demand Holder, following consultation with each other Sponsor, so elects, an offering of Registrable Securities under a Shelf Registration Statement shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, and the Issuer shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose. The electing Demand Holder shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering; provided that such managing underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably

acceptable to the Issuer, TPG and any other Demand Holder seeking to participate in such Underwritten Offering.

(f)Priority of Securities Sold Pursuant to Shelf Registrations. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering of the Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration, advise the Board of Directors in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 6.2(e) exceeds the number which can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders seeking to participate in such Underwritten Offering (based on the relative number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering), to the extent necessary to reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering to the number recommended by the managing underwriter or underwriters.

(g)In the event that TPG or LGP elects to demand a Registration pursuant to this Section 6.2 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the Registration shall provide for resale by such partners or members, if requested by TPG or LGP.

Section 6.3Piggyback Registration.

(a)Participation. If the Issuer at any time proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to any offering of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of any other Persons (other than (i) a Registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such Forms, (ii) a Registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Issuer pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement, or (iii) in connection with an IPO) (an “Issuer Public Sale”), then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than forty-five (45) days prior to the proposed date of filing such Registration Statement), the Issuer shall give written notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed filing to all the Holders of Registrable Securities, and such notice shall offer the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to Register under such Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 6.3(b), the Issuer shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities which are requested to be included therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by such Holder of any such notice; provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to Register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, the Issuer shall determine for any reason not to Register or to delay Registration of such securities, the Issuer shall give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to Register, shall be relieved of its obligation to Register any Registrable Securities in connection with such Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of any Holders of Registrable Securities entitled to request that such Registration be effected as a Demand Registration under Section 6.1, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registering, in the absence of a request for a

Demand Registration, shall be permitted to delay Registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in Registering such other securities. If the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement is to be underwritten, then each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) must, and the Issuer shall make such arrangements with the managing underwriter or underwriters so that each such Holder may, participate in such Underwritten Offering. If the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement is to be on any other basis, then each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) must, and the Issuer shall make such arrangements so that each such Holder may, participate in such offering on such basis. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or part of its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Issuer of its request to withdraw; provided that such request must be made in writing prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholder Investors shall not be entitled to the rights set forth in this Section 6.3(a) to the extent that the Sponsors are not selling any Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration.

(b)Priority of Piggyback Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback Registration informs the Issuer and the participating Holders of Registrable Securities in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities which such Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Registration shall be (i) first, one hundred percent (100%) of the securities that the Issuer or (subject to Section 6.7) any Person (other than a Holder of Registrable Securities) exercising a contractual right to demand Registration, as the case may be, proposes to sell, and (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated pro rata among the Holders that have requested to participate in such Registration based on the relative number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein then held by such Holder and (iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referred to in clause (ii) have been included in such Registration, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Registration.

(c)No Effect on Demand Registrations. No Registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 or shall relieve the Issuer of its obligations under Sections 6.1 or 6.2.

Section 6.4Black-out Periods.

(a)Black-out Periods for Holders. In the event of an IPO or an Issuer Public Sale of the Issuer’s equity securities in an Underwritten Offering, the Holders of Registrable Securities agree, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, not to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities (except, in each case, as part of the applicable Registration, if permitted) that are the same as or similar to those being Registered in connection with such IPO or Issuer Public Sale, or any securities convertible into

or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven (7) days before and ending one hundred eighty (180) days (in the event of the Issuer’s IPO) or ninety (90) days (in the event of any other Issuer Public Sale) (or, in either case, such lesser period as may be permitted by the Issuer or such managing underwriter or underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, to the extent timely notified in writing by the Issuer or the managing underwriter or underwriters; provided that such restrictions shall not apply to (i) securities acquired in the public market subsequent to the IPO, (ii) distributions-in-kind to a Holder’s partners or members and (iii) transfers to Affiliates, but only if such Affiliates agree to be bound by the restrictions herein.

(b)Black-out Period for the Issuer and Others. In the case of a Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2 for an Underwritten Offering, the Issuer and each Holder of Registrable Securities shall, if requested by the Demanding Holders holding a majority of the Demanding Holders’ Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration or the managing underwriter or underwriters, not effect any public sale or distribution of any securities which are the same as or similar to those being Registered, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven (7) days before, and ending one hundred eighty (180) days (in the event of the Issuer’s IPO) or ninety (90) days (in all other cases) (or such lesser period as may be permitted by such Holders or such managing underwriter or underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration (or, in the case of an offering under a Shelf Registration Statement, the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement in connection therewith), to the extent timely notified in writing by a Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the managing underwriter or underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may effect a public sale or distribution of securities of the type described above and during the periods described above if such sale or distribution is made pursuant to Registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such Forms or as part of any Registration of securities for offering and sale to employees or directors of the Issuer pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each Holder of restricted securities of the Issuer which securities are the same as or similar to the Registrable Securities being Registered, or any restricted securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities, an agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of such securities during any such period referred to in this paragraph, except as part of any such Registration, if permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Holders of Registrable Securities, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.4(b) shall not apply to (i) securities acquired in the public market subsequent to the IPO, (ii) distributions-in-kind to a Holder’s partners or members and (iii) transfers to Affiliates, but only if such Affiliates agree to be bound by the restrictions herein. Without limiting the foregoing (but subject to Section 6.7), if after the date hereof the Issuer grants any Person (other than a Holder of Registrable Securities) any rights to demand or participate in a Registration, the Issuer agrees that the agreement with respect thereto shall include such Person’s agreement to comply with any black-out period required by this Section 6.4 as if it were a Holder hereunder).

(c)The Issuer may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration is being effected to furnish to the Issuer such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder and its ownership of Registrable Securities as the Issuer may from time to time reasonably request in writing and the Issuer may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees to furnish such information to the Issuer and to cooperate with the Issuer as reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

In the event the Issuer shall give any such notice, the period during which the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 6.5(a)(v) or is advised in writing by the Issuer that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

(e)If any Registration Statement or comparable statement under the “Blue Sky” laws refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the Holder of any securities of the Issuer, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in

form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Issuer, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Issuer’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Issuer, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not in the judgment of the Issuer, as advised by counsel, required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute or any “Blue Sky” or securities law then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder.

(f)Holders may seek to register different types of Registrable Securities simultaneously and the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Registration and sale in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified by such Holders.

Section 6.6Underwritten Offerings.

(a)Shelf and Demand Registrations. If requested by the underwriters for any Underwritten Offering requested by Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the Issuer shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Issuer, TPG and LGP (if it is seeking to participate in such Underwritten Offering and as long as LGP and its Affiliates then hold the Demand Threshold Amount) and the underwriters, and to contain such representations and warranties by the Issuer and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including indemnities no less favorable to the recipient thereof than those provided in Section 6.9. The Holders of the Registrable Securities proposed to be distributed by such underwriters shall cooperate with the Issuer in the negotiation of the underwriting agreement and shall give consideration to the reasonable suggestions of the Issuer regarding the form thereof. Such Holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to such underwriting agreement, which underwriting agreement shall (i) contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Issuer to and for the benefit of such Holders of Registrable Securities as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in underwritten public offerings similar to the applicable Underwritten Offering and (ii) provide that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement also shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders of Registrable Securities. Any such Holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Issuer or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder’s title to the Registrable Securities, such Holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representations required to be made by the Holder under applicable law, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Holder shall not exceed such Holder’s net proceeds from such Underwritten Offering.

(b)Piggyback Registrations. If the Issuer proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by Section 6.3 and such securities are to be distributed in an Underwritten Offering through one or more underwriters, the Issuer shall, if requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6.3 and subject to the provisions of Sections 6.3(b), use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for such underwriters to include on the same terms and conditions that apply to the other sellers in such Registration all

the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by such Holder among the securities of the Issuer to be distributed by such underwriters in such Registration. The Holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to the underwriting agreement between the Issuer and such underwriters, which underwriting agreement shall (i) contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Issuer to and for the benefit of such Holders of Registrable Securities as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in secondary underwritten public offerings and (ii) provide that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement also shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders of Registrable Securities. Any such Holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Issuer or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder’s title to the Registrable Securities and such Holder’s intended method of distribution or any other representations required to be made by the Holder under applicable law, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Holder shall not exceed such Holder’s net proceeds from such Underwritten Offering.

(c)Participation in Underwritten Registrations. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6(a) and (b) above, no Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

(d)Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an Underwritten Offering under Section 6.1 or 6.2, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by TPG and LGP (if it is seeking to participate in such Underwritten Offering and as long as LGP and its Affiliates then hold the Demand Threshold Amount). In addition, in the case of any Underwritten Offering, each of the Holders may withdraw their request to participate in the Registration pursuant to Section 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 after being advised of such price, discount and other terms and shall not be required to enter into any agreements or documentation that would require otherwise.

Section 6.7No Inconsistent Agreements; Additional Rights. The Issuer shall not hereafter enter into, and is not currently a party to, any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities by this Agreement. Without the consent of the Majority TPG Investors, the Issuer shall not enter into any agreement granting registration or similar rights to any Person, and hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no registration or similar rights have been granted to any other Person other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Management Stockholders’ Agreement.

Section 6.8Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Issuer’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement shall be paid by the Issuer, including (i) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the SEC or FINRA, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with any securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger, telephone,

facsimile and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses and Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses), (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuer and of all independent certified public accountants of the Issuer (including the expenses of any special audit and cold comfort letters required by or incident to such performance), (v) Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if the Issuer so desires or the underwriters so require in accordance with then-customary underwriting practice, (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or quotation of the Registrable Securities on any inter-dealer quotation system, (vii) all applicable rating agency fees with respect to the Registrable Securities, (viii) all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of legal counsel for each Sponsor and MD Investor and one (1) legal counsel to the Noteholder Investors, in each case participating in such Registration, (ix) all fees and expenses of accountants selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered, (x) any reasonable fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, (xi) all fees and expenses of any special experts or other Persons retained by the Issuer in connection with any Registration, (xii) all of the Issuer’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties) and (xiii) all expenses related to the “road-show” for any Underwritten Offering (including the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of TPG, LGP, the MD Investors and the Noteholder Investors), including all travel, meals and lodging. All such expenses are referred to herein as “Registration Expenses.” The Issuer shall not be required to pay any fees and disbursements to underwriters not customarily paid by the issuers of securities in an offering similar to the applicable Underwritten Offering, including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities.

Section 6.9Indemnification.

(a)Indemnification by the Issuer. The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, each shareholder, member, limited or general partner thereof, each shareholder, member, limited or general partner of each such shareholder, member, limited or general partner, each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were Registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in light of the circumstances under

which they were made) not misleading or (iii) any actions or inactions or proceedings in respect of the foregoing whether or not such indemnified party is a party thereto. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Issuer may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder. The Issuer shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties.

(b)Indemnification by the Selling Holder of Registrable Securities. Each selling Holder of Registrable Securities agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Issuer, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were Registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment thereof or supplement thereto), or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such selling Holder to the Issuer specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation less any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 6.9(d). The Issuer shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to information furnished in writing by such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement.

(c)Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim

within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall 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 an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of such indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 6.9(c), in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

(d)Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.9 is unavailable to an indemnified party (other than as a result of exceptions contained in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.9) or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Issuer, the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any 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 the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to

in this Section 6.9(d). 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. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Sections 6.9(a) and 6.9(b) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.9(d), in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Issuer, a selling Holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 6.9(b). If indemnification is available under this Section 6.9, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 6.9(a) and 6.9(b) hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 6.9(d). The remedies provided for in this Section 6.9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

Section 6.10Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S. After the IPO, the Issuer shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Issuer is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales that would otherwise be permitted by this agreement pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC), and it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act in transactions that would otherwise be permitted by this agreement and within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Issuer will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

Section 6.11Termination. The registration rights provided for in this Article VI shall terminate upon the expiration of the Shelf Period, except for the provisions of Sections 6.9 and 6.10, which shall survive any such termination.

Section 6.12Existing Registration Statements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and subject to applicable law and regulation, the Issuer may satisfy any obligation hereunder to file a Registration Statement or to have a Registration Statement become effective by a specified date by designating, by notice to the Holders, a registration statement that previously has been filed with the SEC or become effective, as the case may be, as the relevant Registration Statement for purposes of satisfying such obligation, and all references to any such obligation shall be construed accordingly; provided that such previously filed registration statement may be amended to add the number of Registrable Securities, and, to the extent necessary, to identify as selling stockholders those Holders demanding the filing of a

Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement refers to the filing or effectiveness of other registration statements by or at a specified time and the Issuer has, in lieu of then filing such registration statements or having such registration statements become effective, designated a previously filed or effective registration statement as the relevant registration statement for such purposes in accordance with the preceding sentence, such references shall be construed to refer to such designated registration statement.

Section 6.13Lock-Up. In connection with each underwritten public offering each Stockholder agrees to become bound by and to execute and deliver such lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such public offering restricting such Stockholder’s right to (a) Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Company Shares or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of Company Shares, as is entered into by any participating Sponsor or MD Investor with the underwriter(s) of such Public Offering (the “Principal Lock-Up Agreement”); provided, however, that no Stockholder shall be required to enter into a lock-up agreement covering a period of greater than 90 days (180 days in the case of the IPO) following the effectiveness of the related registration statement plus such additional period of up to 17 days as may be required by the underwriters to satisfy FINRA regulations and permit the managing underwriters’ analysts to publish research updates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such lock-up agreement shall not apply to (i) transactions relating to shares of Company Shares or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the IPO and (ii) Transfers to Permitted Transferees of such Stockholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, distributions of shares to limited partners of any Sponsor, provided such limited partners shall be subject to restrictions on further Transfers.

Section 6.14Alternative IPO Entities. In the event that the Company, Intermediate Holdings or J. Crew elect to effect an underwritten public offering of equity securities of any of their respective parent entities or subsidiaries (each such entity, an “Alternative IPO Entity”) rather than the equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings or J. Crew, whether as a result of a reorganization or otherwise, the Company, Intermediate Holdings or J. Crew (as applicable) shall cause any such Alternative IPO Entity to enter into an agreement with the Sponsors that provides the Sponsors with registration rights with respect to the equity securities of such Alternative IPO Entity that are substantially the same as, and in any event no less favorable in the aggregate to, the registration rights provided to the Sponsors in this Agreement.

Section 7.3Waiver by Stockholders. The rights and obligations contained in this Agreement are in addition to the relevant provisions of the Articles in force from time to time and shall be construed to comply with such provisions. To the extent that this Agreement is determined to be in contravention of the Articles, this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by each Stockholder, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable laws, of any right such Stockholder may have pursuant to the Articles that is inconsistent with this Agreement and the Stockholders and the Company shall take all Necessary Action to effect an amendment of the Articles, to the extent permissible under applicable law, in order to resolve such contravention.

Crew or any of their subsidiaries and such Stockholder or any other Person, the Stockholder, Sponsor Director and Affiliated Officer of the Company shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise, other than provisions of applicable law that may not be waived) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to the Company, Intermediate Holdings or J. Crew or their respective Affiliates or Stockholders for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise, other than provisions of applicable law that may not be waived) by reason of the fact that such Stockholder, Sponsor Director or Affiliated

Officer, directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their subsidiaries.

(b)No waiver of any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and executed and delivered by the party against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 7.12Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED DISPUTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

Section 7.13Jurisdiction. ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE PARTIES RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR (TO THE EXTENT SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION EXISTS THEREFORE) THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE, AND THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF BOTH SUCH COURTS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT ISSUED BY ONE OF THE FOREGOING COURTS MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY JURISDICTION.

Section 7.14Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH SHAREHOLDER WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT SUCH PARTY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE DEALINGS OF ANY SHAREHOLDER OR THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. The Company or any Stockholder may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 7.14 with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Stockholders to the waiver of their rights to trial by jury.

ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 7.14 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 7.15Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 7.16J. Crew Liability. J.

Section 7.17Management Stockholders’ Agreement. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that any approval, consent or action required or permitted by the Majority Principal Investors (as such term is defined in the Management Stockholders’ Agreement) in respect of any matter under the Management Stockholders’ Agreement (a “Majority Investor Matter”) shall require the approval, consent or action of the Sponsors holding a Majority in Interest of the Company Shares held by the Sponsors unless the consent or approval of any Sponsor or any different proportion of Sponsors relating to any such Majority Investor Matter is specified in this Agreement, in which case the approval, consent or action by the Majority Principal Investors in respect of such Majority Investor Matter shall require the approval or consent of such Sponsor or such proportion of Sponsors, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt (i) for purposes of Section 2.1(a) of the Management Stockholders’ Agreement, the specification of the number of members of the board of directors by the Majority Principal Investors shall be subject to Section 3.1(a), (ii) for purposes of Section 2.1(b) of the Management Stockholders’ Agreement, the specification of directors by the Majority Principal Investors shall be subject to Section 3.1 and (iii) with respect to any amendment, modification, extension, termination or waiver contemplated by Section 9.2 of the Management Stockholders’ Agreement, the Majority Principal Investors shall be subject to Section 7.9(a).

Section 7.18Subsequent Acquisition of Shares. Any equity securities of the Company acquired subsequent to the date hereof by a Stockholder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be Sponsor Shares, Other Investor Shares or MD Investor Shares hereunder of like kind with the Company Shares then held by the acquiring holder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
