AGREEMENT

Section 1.Election of the Board of Directors.

The HIG Directors shall be apportioned among the three (3) classes of Directors as nearly equal in number as possible. The right of HIG to designate the HIG Directors for nomination as set forth in this Section 1(a) shall be subject to the following: (i) if at any time HIG beneficially owns in the aggregate thirty percent (30%) or more of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, HIG shall be entitled to designate four (4) HIG Directors; (ii) if at any time HIG beneficially owns in the aggregate less than thirty percent (30%) but at least twenty percent (20%) or more of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, HIG shall be entitled to designate three (3) HIG Directors; (iii) if at any time HIG beneficially owns in the aggregate less than twenty percent (20%) but at least ten percent (10%) or more of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, HIG shall be entitled to designate two (2) HIG Directors; and (iv) if at any time HIG beneficially owns in the aggregate less than ten percent (10%) but at least five percent (5%) or more of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, HIG shall be entitled to designate only one (1) HIG Director. HIG shall not be entitled to designate any HIG Directors for nomination in accordance with this Section 1(a) if at any time HIG beneficially owns in the aggregate less than five percent (5%) of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(b)Subject to this Section 1(b), the IVP Holdcos shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board one (1) Director from time to time (any Director designated by IVP Holdcos, an “IVP Director”). The IVP Holdcos shall not be entitled to designate an IVP Director in accordance with this

​

​

​

​

Section 1(b) if at any time the IVP Holdcos beneficially own in the aggregate less than ten percent (10%) of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(c)Subject to Section 1(a) and Section 1(b), each of HIG, the IVP Holdcos and CPPIB hereby agree for the exclusive benefit of the Corporation (which shall have sole right to enforce this Section 1(c)), to vote, or cause to be voted, all outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them (or any of their Permitted Transferees) at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which Directors of the Corporation are to be elected or removed, or in actions by written consent or otherwise so as to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement (as may be permitted under the Corporation’s Bylaws and Charter at the time of such vote), to take all Necessary Action in their capacity as stockholders of the Corporation to cause the election or removal of the HIG Directors and the IVP Director as a Director, as provided herein and to implement and enforce the provisions set forth in Section 3, provided that (i) no Stockholder shall have any voting obligations under this Section 1(c) after any time as such Stockholder beneficially owns in the aggregate less than ten percent (10%) of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided above, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of a Stockholder to vote (or cause to be voted), including by proxy, if applicable, in favor of, or against or to abstain with respect to, any other matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation.

Section 2.Vacancies and Replacements.

(a)No reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock that each Stockholder beneficially owns shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

(b)Each of HIG and the IVP Holdcos shall have the sole right to request that one or more of their respective designated Directors, as applicable, tender their resignations as Directors of the Board, in each case, with or without cause at any time, by sending a written notice to such Director and the Corporation’s Secretary stating the name of the Director or Directors whose resignation from the Board is requested (the “Removal Notice”). If the Director subject to such Removal Notice does not resign within thirty (30) days from receipt thereof by such Director, HIG and the IVP Holdcos, as holders of Common Stock, the Corporation and the Board, to the fullest extent permitted by law and, with respect to the Board, subject to its fiduciary duties to the Corporation’s stockholders, shall thereafter take all Necessary Action, including voting in accordance with Section 1(c) to cause the removal of such Director from the Board (and such Director shall only be removed by the parties to this Agreement in such manner as provided herein).

(c)Each of HIG and the IVP Holdcos, as applicable, shall have the exclusive right to designate a replacement Director for nomination or election by the Board to fill vacancies created as a result of not designating their respective Directors initially or by death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal (with or without cause) of their respective Directors, or otherwise by designating a successor for nomination or election by the Board to fill the vacancy of their respective Directors created thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 1; it being understood that any such designee shall serve the remainder of the term of the Director whom such designee replaces.

(d)So long as a Stockholder has the right to nominate at least one Director under Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) or any such Director is serving on the Board, the Corporation shall maintain in effect at all times directors and officers indemnity insurance coverage reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholders, and the Charter and Bylaws shall at all times provide for indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the organizational documents of the Corporation to the contrary and irrespective of whether the fifty percent (50%) threshold provided for pursuant to this Section 4 is satisfied, HIG, the IVP Holdcos or CPPIB shall not be entitled to approval rights in accordance with this Section 4 if at any time such holder beneficially owns in the aggregate less than fifteen percent (15%) of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

​

(b)HIG and the IVP Holdcos shall comply with the requirements of the Charter and Bylaws when designating and nominating individuals as Directors, in each case, to the extent such requirements are applicable to Directors generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that the Board determines, within sixty (60) days after compliance with the first sentence of this Section 5(b), in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that its nomination, appointment or election of a particular Director designated in accordance with Section 1 or Section 2, as applicable, would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Corporation’s stockholders or does not otherwise comply with any requirements of the Charter or Bylaws, then the Corporation shall inform HIG and/or the IVP Holdcos, as applicable, of such determination in writing and explain in reasonable detail the basis for such determination and shall cause the Board, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to nominate, appoint or elect another individual designated for nomination, election or appointment to the Board by HIG and/or the IVP Holdcos, as applicable (subject in each case to this Section 5(b)). The Corporation shall, and shall cause the Board to, to the fullest extent permitted by law, take all Necessary Action required by this Section 5 with respect to the election of such substitute designees to the Board.

(c)Each Stockholder shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to request and have made available to it by the Corporation such financial and similar information not duplicative of what is customarily prepared by the Corporation as such Stockholder may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may restrict access to the foregoing to the extent that (x) any applicable law requires it or (y) the Corporation determines that restricting such access is reasonably necessary to preserve any evidentiary or attorney-client privilege or to comply with any contract.

Section 6.Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate, as to each individual party but not collectively to all parties, upon the earliest to occur of any one of the following events:

(a)each of (i) HIG, (ii) the IVP Holdcos and (iii) CPPIB ceasing to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock; and

For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of (i) HIG under this Agreement shall terminate upon HIG ceasing to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock, (ii) the IVP Holdcos under this Agreement shall terminate upon the IVP Holdcos ceasing to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock and (iii) CPPIB under this Agreement shall terminate upon CPPIB ceasing to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.
