Pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the Company and Parent each agreed to extend the End Date by waiving its right to terminate the Merger Agreement and abandon
the Merger prior to the date that is the earliest to occur of: (i) November 30, 2019; (ii) after the Company has provided Parent a written notice attaching the final drafts of all transaction documents relating to the sale of the MIC
Interest, the date that is the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which Parent notifies the Company that it will not approve such transaction documents or (b) the fifth Business Day after the date on which Parent received such notice with
such transaction documents unless Parent has previously notified the Company that it approves such transaction documents; or (iii) in the event any Governmental Entity imposes any term, condition, obligation, restriction, requirement,
limitation, qualification, remedy or other action that applies to any member of the Parent Group or the Company Group (other than a requirement to provide information regarding the terms of the sale of the MIC Interest or updates to factual
information or those that would solely apply to MIC or its Subsidiaries and take effect after the consummation of the sale of the MIC Interest) (each, a “Condition”) in connection with (1) its approval or non-disapproval of the sale of the MIC Interest or (2) any Parent Approval or Company Approval with respect to the Merger, that (A) is materially and adversely different, individually or in the aggregate,

individually or in the aggregate, from the Conditions set forth in such Governmental Entity’s order, consent, approval, permit or authorization with respect to the Merger as in effect on the date of the Waiver Agreement, or (C) would
require the Merger to be consummated on terms that are materially and adversely different from those set forth in the filing and applications (as amended) that were reflected prior to the date of the Waiver Agreement in formal submissions to any
Governmental Entity and that formed the basis upon which such Governmental Entity theretofore issued its order, consent, approval or authorization with respect to the Merger, including with respect to the funding of the Merger Consideration, the
date on which Parent notifies the Company that it will not approve such Condition.
