(the “Company”), as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, into a Second Lien Loan Agreement (the “Second Lien Loan Agreement”) with certain lenders (the “Second Lien Lenders”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as agent for the Second Lien Lenders, on March 30, 2016, the Company was required to enter into or amend, as applicable, a customary registration rights agreement with certain of the Second Lien Lenders.

The A&R Registration Rights Agreement also provides such Holders with the right to demand an initial public offering and listing on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market to be commenced at a time when the Company otherwise does not have a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or a reporting obligation under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01.     Initial Public Offering on Demand.

(a)     At any time upon written notice delivered to the Company (an “IPO Demand Notice”) by one or more Holders holding, individually or in the aggregate, at least a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities held by all Holders at the time of such notice (the “IPO Demanding Holders”), the Company will be required, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, to file with the Commission a Registration Statement as specified in Section 2.01(d) solely in connection with an offering that satisfies the definition of a “Qualified IPO,” and if so requested by any IPO Demanding Holders, to include in such Registration the offer and sale of any Registrable Securities of such IPO Demanding Holders and to seek a Listing on a Designated Exchange (an “IPO Demand”). Upon the receipt of an IPO Demand Notice from IPO Demanding Holders, the Company promptly shall notify any other Holder of the receipt of such request. Each IPO Demand by an IPO Demanding Holder (or IPO Demanding Holders, as the case may be) shall state the amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof.

(b)     Each of the Holders (other than the IPO Demanding Holders) may offer such Holder’s Registrable Securities under any such IPO Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.01(b). The Company shall (i) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the receipt of a request for an IPO Demand from any IPO Demanding Holder(s), give written notice thereof to all of the Holders (other than such IPO Demanding Holder(s)), which notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities subject to the request for IPO Demand, the name of the IPO Demanding Holder(s) and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities and (ii) subject to Section 2.01(i), include in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to such IPO Demand all of the Registrable Securities requested by such Holders for inclusion in such Registration Statement from whom the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the receipt by such Holders of such written notice referred to in clause (i) above. Each such request by such Holders shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included for registration. Any Holder may waive its rights under this Section 2.01(b) prior to the expiration of such ten (10) day period by giving written notice to the Company.

(c)     Upon the receipt of the IPO Demand Notice and as long as the offering satisfies the definition of “Qualified IPO,” the Company shall, subject to Section 2.01(j), use its commercially reasonable efforts to file (or confidentially submit) such Registration Statement under the Securities Act at the earliest practicable date, but in any event not later than 150 days after the IPO Demand is made and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement thereafter become effective with the Commission at the earliest practicable date. The Registration under the Securities Act shall cover the offer and sale of the following securities (subject to Section 2.01(i)):

(i)     the Registrable Securities that the Company has been requested to register by the IPO Demanding Holders,

(ii)     any and all Registrable Securities that the Company has been requested to register by any other Holder, and

(iii)     Common Stock of the Company (or any Successor Company) to be sold by the Company (or any Successor Company) for its own account.

(iv)     Registration of Other Securities. If the Company shall effect an IPO Demand, no securities other than (i) Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account and (ii) Registrable Securities requested by the Holders shall be included among the securities covered by such registration unless the Holders holding not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities to be covered by such registration shall have consented in writing to the inclusion of such other securities.

8

(d)       Registration Statement Form. Registration under Section 2.01(a) shall be on Form F-1 or Form S-1 (or any successor forms thereto). The Company agrees to include in any such Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) all information that the Holders selling Registrable Securities covered by such registration shall reasonably request in writing; provided that the Company may exclude such information from the Registration Statement if in its opinion, in consultation with outside legal counsel, such information contains a material misstatement of fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and provided further that the Company may, in consultation with outside legal counsel, exclude such information from the Registration Statement that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed in accordance with SEC Guidance if in the reasonable opinion of the underwriter or underwriters selected pursuant to Section 2.01(h), the inclusion of such information would adversely affect the offering of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement.

(e)       [Reserved].

(f)        Effective Registration Statement. An IPO Demand shall not be deemed to have been effected:

(i)     unless (A) a Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective under the Securities Act and remains effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and the laws of any state or other jurisdiction applicable to the sale or disposition of Common Stock or Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement until such time as all of such Common Stock and Registrable Securities have been sold or disposed of in accordance with such Registration Statement, (B) a Registration Statement on Form 8-A (or any successor form thereof) shall have become effective under the Exchange Act and (C) the Common Stock and Registrable Securities, as the case may be, shall have been approved for Listing on the Designated Exchange, subject only to notice of final issuance;

(ii)     if, after they become effective, either of such Registrations on Form S-1 (or Form F-1) or Form 8-A are interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other Governmental Authority or court for any reason other than a violation of applicable law solely by any Holder selling Registrable Securities under such registration and has not thereafter become effective; or

(iii)     if the conditions to closing specified in an underwriting agreement to which the Company is a party are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of any breach or failure by any Holder selling Registrable Securities under such registration or are not otherwise waived.

9

(g)       Termination of the IPO Demand. The IPO Demanding Holders may at any time terminate their request for an IPO Demand. Despite such termination by the IPO Demanding Holders, in the event that the Board of Directors shall so determine to proceed with the offering, the offering shall not be terminated as long as the offering satisfies the definition of “Qualified IPO.” Any Holder that has requested its Registrable Securities to be included in such registration statement shall continue to have its Registrable Securities so included unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.

(h)       Selection of Underwriters. The underwriter or underwriters of the Qualified IPO pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall be an internationally recognized investment bank selected by the IPO Demanding Holders, which must be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(i)        Priority in Requested Registration. If the managing underwriter of a Qualified IPO pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall advise the Company and the IPO Demanding Holders that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Common Stock and Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock and Registrable Shares that can be sold in such offering within a price range stated to such managing underwriter by the IPO Demanding Holders, the Company shall include in such Registration, to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock and Registrable Shares that the Company is advised can be sold in such offering (unless with respect to (i) and (ii) waived by the IPO Demanding Holders in their sole discretion) (i) first, all of the Registrable Securities being sold for the account of the Holders, pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities owned at the time of such registration by such Holders and (ii) second, Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account.

(j)        Limitation on IPO Demands. If the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to an IPO Demand, or the amendment or supplement of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to an IPO Demand, would materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other material transaction involving the Company or would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure (a “Valid Business Reason”), and the Company furnishes to the Participating Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or any other senior executive officer of the Company stating such Valid Business Reason (the “Postponing Officer’s Certificate”), (i) the Company may postpone the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement (but not the preparation of the Registration Statement or prospectus included therein) relating to such IPO Demand and (ii) in the case of a Registration Statement that has been filed with respect to an IPO Demand, the Company may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement, in the case of (i) and (ii) until such Valid Business Reason ceases to exist (an “IPO Suspension”), but in no event shall any such postponement be for more than sixty (60) days after the date of the IPO Demand Notice or, if later, the occurrence of the Valid Business Reason. In the event of any such postponement, the IPO Demanding Holder (or IPO Demanding Holders, as the case may be) initiating such IPO Demand shall be entitled to withdraw the IPO Demand request by written notice to the Company. In addition to the Postponing Officer’s Certificate discussed above, the Company shall promptly give written notice to the Participating Holders once the Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone a filing, amendment or supplement under this Section 2.01(j) due to a Valid Business Reason more than three (3) times, or for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days, in each case, during any 12-month period. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that an IPO Demand is in effect, the Postponing Officer’s Certificate and its contents unless and until otherwise notified by the Company, except (A) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who reasonably need to know such information for purposes of assisting the Holder with respect to its investment in the Company Shares and agree to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners or other direct or indirect investors who have agreed to keep such information confidential, (C) if and to the extent such matters are publicly disclosed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person that, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, was not subject to an obligation or duty of confidentiality to the Company and its Subsidiaries, (D) as required by law, rule or regulation, provided that the Holder gives prior written notice to the Company of such requirement and the contents of the proposed disclosure to the extent it is permitted to do so under applicable law, and (E) for disclosure to any other Holder.

10

(k)       Underwriting Procedures. If the IPO Demanding Holder(s) making an IPO Demand request under Section 2.01(a) so elect in the IPO Demand Notice, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the offering made pursuant to such IPO Demand pursuant to this Section 2.01 to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering. In connection with any IPO Demand under this Section 2.01 involving an underwritten offering, none of the Registrable Securities held by any Holder making a request for inclusion of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and Section 2.01(b) shall be included in such underwritten offering unless, at the request of the underwriters for such IPO Demand, such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 2.07(a) hereof and then only in such quantity subject to Section 2.01(i).

(l)        Certain Undertakings. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause (i) each Registration Statement in connection with an IPO Demand (as of the effective date thereof), any amendment thereof (as of the effective date thereof) or supplement thereto (as of its date), (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable SEC Guidance and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) any related Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as of its date, (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable SEC Guidance and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, the Company shall have no such obligations or liabilities with respect to any written information pertaining to any Holder and furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein.

Section 2.02.     Demand Registration.

(a)       Request for Demand Registration. At any time and from time to time following 180 days after the closing of the Qualified IPO, and subject to Section 2.12, a Requesting Holder (or Requesting Holders, as the case may be) may make a written request (a “Demand Registration Notice”) to the Company to register, and the Company shall register, under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the number of Registrable Securities stated in such request (a “Demand Registration”), provided, however, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) more than three (3) such Demand Registrations in any 12-month period in the aggregate for all Requesting Holders and (ii) any Demand Registration with respect to which the Requesting Holder (or Requesting Holders, as the case may be) proposes to sell Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration at an anticipated aggregate offering price (calculated based upon the Market Price of the Registrable Securities on the date on which the Company receives the written request for such Demand Registration) to the public of less than $50 million unless such Demand Registration includes all of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such Demand Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for the purposes of subclause (a)(i) above if, after a Demand Registration becomes effective, (1) such Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or other order of the Commission or other Governmental Authority, or (2) if the Maximum Offering Size determined in accordance with Section 2.02(f) is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holder(s) sought to be included in such Demand Registration. Each request for a Demand Registration by a Requesting Holder (or Requesting Holders, as the case may be) shall state the amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof. Subject to this Section 2.02, the Company shall effect such Demand Registration on Form S-1 unless it is otherwise then eligible to effect such Registration on Form S-3.

11

(b)       Limitations on Demand Registrations. If the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that a Valid Business Reason shall exist to postpone the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration, or the amendment or supplement of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Registration, and the Company furnishes to the Requesting Holder (or Requesting Holders, as the case may be) a Postponing Officer’s Certificate, (i) the Company may postpone the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement (but not the preparation of the Registration Statement) relating to such Demand Registration and (ii) in the case of a Registration Statement that has been filed with respect to a Demand Registration, the Company may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement, in the case of (i) and (ii) until such Valid Business Reason ceases to exist (a “Demand Suspension”), but in no event shall any such postponement be for more than sixty (60) days after the date of the Demand Registration Notice or, if later, the occurrence of the Valid Business Reason. In the event of any such postponement, the Requesting Holder (or requesting Holders, as the case may be) initiating such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw the Demand Registration request by written notice to the Company and, if such request is withdrawn, it shall not count as a Demand Registration hereunder. In addition to the Postponing Officer’s Certificate discussed above, the Company shall promptly give written notice to the Requesting Holder (or Requesting Holders, as the case may be) once the Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone a filing, amendment or supplement under this Section 2.02(b) due to a Valid Business Reason more than three (3) times, or for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days, in each case, during any 12-month period. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a Demand Suspension is in effect, the Postponing Officer’s Certificate and its contents unless and until otherwise notified by the Company, except (A) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who reasonably need to know such information for purposes of assisting the Holder with respect to its investment in the Company Shares and agree to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners or other direct or indirect investors who have agreed to keep such information confidential, (C) if and to the extent such matters are publicly disclosed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person that, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, was not subject to an obligation or duty of confidentiality to the Company and its Subsidiaries, (D) as required by law, rule or regulation, provided that the Holder gives prior written notice to the Company of such requirement and the contents of the proposed disclosure to the extent it is permitted to do so under applicable law, and (E) for disclosure to any other Holder.

(c)       Incidental or “Piggy-Back” Rights with Respect to a Demand Registration. Each of the Holders (other than the Requesting Holder(s) that requested the relevant Demand Registration under Section 2.02(a)) may offer such Holder’s Registrable Securities under any such Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.02(c). The Company shall (i) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the receipt of a request for a Demand Registration from any Requesting Holder(s), give written notice thereof to all of the Holders (other than such Requesting Holder(s)), which notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities subject to the request for Demand Registration, the name of the Requesting Holder(s) and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities and (ii) subject to Section 2.02(f), include in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to such Demand Registration all of the Registrable Securities requested by such Holders for inclusion in such Registration Statement from whom the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the receipt by such Holders of such written notice referred to in clause (i) above. Each such request by such Holders shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered. Any Holder may waive its rights under this Section 2.02(c) prior to the expiration of such ten (10) day period by giving written notice to the Company.

12

(d)       Effective Demand Registration. Subject to Sections 2.02(a) and (b), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement relating to the Demand Registration as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after it receives a Demand Registration Notice under Section 2.02(a) hereof) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable thereafter. Except as provided herein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any Demand Registration filed pursuant to Section 2.02(a) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Demand Registration or another Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act, (ii) the date on which this Agreement terminates under Section 3.01 with respect to all Participating Holders and (iii) such shorter period as all of the Participating Holders with respect to such Demand Registration shall agree in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall be provided adequate time as reasonably necessary to provide the Commission with any required updates to the Registration Statement to maintain the continued effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

(e)       Expenses and Withdrawal. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with a Demand Registration, whether or not such Demand Registration becomes effective or such Demand Registration is completed and whether or not all or any portion of the Registrable Securities originally requested to be included in such Demand Registration are ultimately included. Each Participating Holder (including the Requesting Holder(s)) shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such Demand Registration.

(f)        Underwriting Procedures. If the Requesting Holder(s) making a Demand Registration request under Section 2.02(a) so elect in the Demand Registration Notice, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the offering made pursuant to such Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.02 to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering. In connection with any Demand Registration under this Section 2.02 involving an underwritten offering, none of the Registrable Securities held by any Holder making a request for inclusion of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2.02(a) and (c) shall be included in such underwritten offering unless, at the request of the underwriters for such Demand Registration, such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 2.07(a) hereof and then only in such quantity as set forth below. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Demand Registration informs the Holders that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration that, in its or their good-faith opinion, the number of securities which such Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, then the aggregate number of securities to be included in such Demand Registration shall be the number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect on such Demand Registration, which number shall be allocated to the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Requesting Holder(s) and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by any Holder who is not a Requesting Holder, on a pro rata basis among the Requesting Holder(s) and any Holder(s) that is not a Requesting Holder based on the relative number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included by each such Holder. The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in any Demand Registration shall have the right to select, subject to the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering.

13

(g)       Certain Undertakings. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause (i) each Demand Registration Statement (as of the effective date thereof), any amendment thereof (as of the effective date thereof) or supplement thereto (as of its date), (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable SEC Guidance and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) any related Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as of its date, (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable SEC Guidance and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, the Company shall have no such obligations or liabilities with respect to any written information pertaining to any Holder and furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein.

Section 2.03.     Shelf Registration.

(a)       Initial Shelf Registration. Upon the Company becoming eligible for use of Form S-3 in connection with a secondary public offering of its equity securities (the “Shelf Trigger Date”), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission within thirty (30) days a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all Registrable Securities requested to be included therein in accordance with this Section 2.03(a), and to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after it shall have filed such Shelf Registration Statement, unless it is not practicable to do so due to circumstances directly relating to outstanding comments of the Commission relating to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided that the Company is using its reasonable best efforts to address any such comments as promptly as possible). If at the time of filing of such Shelf Registration Statement the Company is eligible for use of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, then such Shelf Registration Statement shall be filed as an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 2.03(g). The Company shall promptly deliver a written notice (a “Shelf Registration Notice”) of such Shelf Registration to all Holders, as promptly as practicable following the Shelf Trigger Date, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, and the Company shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities of such Holders for which the Company has received written requests, which requests must specify the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities of such Holder to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement and such requests must be received within ten (10) days after the date that such Shelf Registration Notice has been delivered. The Shelf Registration Statement described in this Section 2.03(a) shall relate to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement (hereinafter the “Shelf Registration”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to address any comments from the Commission regarding such Shelf Registration Statement and to advocate with the Commission for the Registration of all Registrable Securities in accordance with SEC Guidance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on any Shelf Registration Statement, such Shelf Registration Statement shall include the resale of a number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities to be included for each Holder in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders requesting to be included in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement.

14

(b)       Subsequent Requests for Shelf Registration. If at any time subsequent to the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.03(a) hereof, the Company receives a Demand Registration Notice from a Requesting Holder (or Requesting Holders, as the case may be) requesting a Demand Registration in the form of a Shelf Registration Statement (a “Requesting Shelf Registration Notice”) to include Registrable Securities not already included for registration on the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.03(a) hereof, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission, within thirty (30) days after it receives a Requesting Shelf Registration Notice, a Shelf Registration Statement (or an amendment to an existing Shelf Registration Statement) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities that such Requesting Holder (or Requesting Holders, as the case may be) requests, pursuant to the Requesting Shelf Registration Notice, to include in such Shelf Registration Statement, and shall cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after it shall have filed such Shelf Registration Statement, unless it is not practicable to do so due to circumstances directly relating to the outstanding comments of the Commission relating to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided that the Company is using its reasonable best efforts to address such comments as promptly as possible). Promptly upon delivery of such Requesting Shelf Registration Notice by such Requesting Holder(s) (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Company shall promptly deliver a Shelf Registration Notice to all Holders (other than the Requesting Holder(s)), and the Company shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities of such Holders for which the Company has received written requests, which requests must specify the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities of such Holder to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement and such requests must be received within ten (10) days after the date that such Shelf Registration Notice has been delivered. If at the time of filing of such Shelf Registration Statement the Company is eligible for use of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, then such Shelf Registration Statement shall be filed as an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 2.03(g).The Shelf Registration Statements described in this Section 2.03(b) shall relate to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the applicable Shelf Registration. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to address any comments from the Commission regarding such Shelf Registration Statement and to advocate with the Commission for the Registration of all Registrable Securities in accordance with SEC Guidance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on any Shelf Registration Statement, such Shelf Registration Statement shall Register the resale of a number of Company Shares which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Company Shares to be Registered for each Holder in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03(b), the Company may satisfy its obligation to effectuate the registration of the resale of such Registrable Securities requested to be registered under this Section 2.03(b) by amending an existing Shelf Registration Statement to include such Registrable Securities.

15

(c)       Continued Effectiveness. Except as provided herein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or Section 2.03(b) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such 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), (ii) the date on which this Agreement terminates under Section 3.01 with respect to all Participating Holders and (iii) such shorter period as all of the Participating Holders with respect to such Shelf Registration shall agree in writing (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”).

(d)       Certain Undertakings. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause (i) each Shelf Registration Statement (as of the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement), any amendment thereof (as of the effective date thereof) or supplement thereto (as of its date), (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable SEC Guidance and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) any related Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as of its date, (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable SEC Guidance and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, the Company shall have no such obligations or liabilities with respect to any written information pertaining to any Holder and furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein. The Company agrees, to the extent necessary, to supplement or make amendments to each Shelf Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the applicable Registration or by SEC Guidance, or as may reasonably be requested by any Participating Holder.

(e)       Suspension of Registration. If the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that a Valid Business Reason shall exist to postpone the filing, amendment, or supplement, or suspend the use, of a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or Section 2.03(b) and the Company furnishes to the Requesting Holder (or Holders, as the case may be) a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or any other senior executive officer of the Company (the “Suspending Officer’s Certificate”), then the Company may postpone the filing, amendment or supplement (but not the preparation thereof), and/or suspend use, of such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that in no event shall such postponement or suspension be for more than sixty (60) days after the date of the applicable Registration Notice delivered by the Requesting Holder(s) and the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension more than three (3) times, or for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days, in each case, during any 12-month period; provided, further, that in the event of a Shelf Suspension, such Shelf Suspension shall terminate at such earlier time as such Valid Business Reason ceases to exist. Each Holder agrees that, upon delivery of a Suspending Officer’s Certificate, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement until the Company informs such Holder in accordance with this Section 2.03(e), that the Shelf Suspension has been terminated. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a Shelf Suspension is in effect, the Suspending Officer’s Certificate and its contents unless and until otherwise notified by the Company, except (A) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who reasonably need to know such information for purposes of assisting the Holder with respect to its investment in the Company Shares and agree to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners or other direct or indirect investors who have agreed to keep such information confidential, (C) if and to the extent such matters are publicly disclosed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person that, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, was not subject to an obligation or duty of confidentiality to the Company and its Subsidiaries, (D) as required by law, rule or regulation; provided that the Holder gives prior written notice to the Company of such requirement and the contents of the proposed disclosure to the extent it is permitted to do so under applicable law, and (E) for disclosure to any other Holder. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon delivery of the Suspending Officer’s Certificate. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain a material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading 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 Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to each Shelf Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the applicable Registration or by SEC Guidance, or as may reasonably be requested by any Holder. If the filing of any Registration Statement is suspended pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) and the related Registration Notice is withdrawn by the Requesting Holder(s), upon the termination of the Shelf Suspension, the Requesting Holder(s) may request a new Shelf Registration or Shelf Take-Down under Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(f) (which shall not be counted as an additional Marketed Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of Section 2.12).

The Company shall effect such Shelf Take-Down as promptly as practicable in accordance with this Agreement and except as set forth in Section 2.03(f)(iii) with respect to Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs, each such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder shall not be required to permit the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by other Holders in connection with any such Shelf Take-Down initiated by such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder(s).

Subject to clause (iii) below, such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder(s) shall have the right to select, subject to the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering.

17

(iii)     If the plan of distribution set forth in any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice includes a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the Company and the underwriters over a period expected to exceed 48 hours (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), promptly upon delivery of such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Company shall promptly deliver a written notice (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to all Holders (other than the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder(s)), and the Company shall include in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down all such Registrable Securities of such Holders that are Registered on such Shelf Registration Statement for which the Company has received written requests, which requests must specify the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities of such Holder to be offered and sold pursuant to such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the date that such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice has been delivered; provided, that if the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down informs the Holders that have requested to participate in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that, in its or their good-faith opinion, the number of securities which such Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, then the aggregate number of securities to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be the number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect on such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which number shall be allocated to the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder(s) and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down by any Holder who is not an Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder, on a pro rata basis among the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder(s) and any other Holder(s) that is not an Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder who has requested to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down based on the relative number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included by each such Holder. The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall have the right to select, subject to the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering. No holder of securities of the Company shall be permitted to include such holder’s securities in any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down except for Holders who timely request, in accordance with this clause (iii), to include Registrable Securities in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down.

(iv)     The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with any Shelf Registration or any Shelf Take-Down, whether or not such Shelf Registration becomes effective or such Shelf Take-Down is completed and whether or not all or any portion of the Registrable Securities originally requested to be included in such Shelf Registration or Shelf Take-Down are ultimately included. Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities from a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down at any time prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down. Subject to Section 2.12, the number of Shelf Take-Downs that a Holder (or Holders, as the case may be) can initiate is unlimited.

(g)       Automatic Shelf Registration Statements. Upon the Company becoming aware that it has become a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer (it being understood that the Company shall independently verify whether it has become a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the end of each calendar month ending after the third anniversary of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall give written notice to all of the Holders as promptly as practicable but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, and such notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the basis on which the Company has become a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and (ii) the Company shall, as promptly as practicable and subject to any Shelf Suspension, Register, under an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the sale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after it becomes a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and to cause such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective thereafter until the earlier of the date (x) on which all of the securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities and (y) on which the Company cannot extend the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement because it is no longer eligible for use of Form S-3. The Company shall give written notice of filing such Registration Statement to all of the Holders as promptly as practicable thereafter.

Any Registration pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) shall be deemed a Shelf Registration for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however that any Registration pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) shall not be counted as an additional Demand Registration for purposes of subclause (i) in Section 2.02(a).

Section 2.04.     Piggyback Registration.

(a)       Participation. If the Company at any time proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of any other Persons (other than pursuant to (i) a Registration Statement filed under Section 2.01, Section 2.02 or Section 2.03, it being understood that this clause (i) does not limit the rights of Holders to make written requests pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 or otherwise limit the applicability thereof, (ii) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8, (iii) a Registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees, directors or consultants of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement, (iv) a Registration not otherwise covered by clause (ii) above pursuant to which the Company is offering to exchange its own securities for other securities, (v) a Registration Statement relating solely to dividend reinvestment or similar plans or (vi) a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to which only the initial purchasers and subsequent transferees of debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are convertible or exchangeable for Company Shares and that are initially issued pursuant to Rule 144A and/or Regulation S (or any successor provisions) of the Securities Act may resell such debt securities and sell the Company Shares into which such debt securities may be converted or exchanged) (any such offering, other than pursuant to a Registration described in the foregoing clauses (i)-(vi), a “Company Public Sale”), then, (A) as soon as practicable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all Holders, and such notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to Register under such Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as such Holder may request in writing delivered to the Company within ten (10) days of delivery of such written notice by the Company. Subject to Section 2.04(b), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities that are requested by Holders to be included therein in compliance with the immediately foregoing sentence (a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to Register any equity securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to Register or to delay Registration of the equity securities covered by such Piggyback Registration, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to each Holder that had requested to Register its, his or her Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement and, thereupon, (1) 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, to the extent payable) and (2) in the case of a determination to delay Registering, shall be permitted to delay Registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in Registering the other equity securities covered by such Piggyback Registration. If the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement is to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant this Section 2.04(a), and each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) must, and the Company shall make such arrangements with the managing underwriter or underwriters so that each such Holder may, participate in such Underwritten Offering, subject to the conditions of Section 2.04(b). If the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement is to be on any other basis, the Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the written notice given pursuant to this Section 2.04(a), and each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) must, and the Company shall make such arrangements so that each such Holder may, participate in such offering on such basis, subject to the conditions of Section 2.04(b). Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

19

(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 Company and the Holders that have requested to participate in such Piggyback Registration in writing that, in its or their good-faith opinion, the number of securities which such Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, then the aggregate number of securities to be included in such Registration shall be (i) first, 100% of the securities that the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the number of Registrable Securities that, in the good-faith opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size, which number shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders that have requested to participate in such Registration based on the relative number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included by each such Holder and (iii) third, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Registration that, in the good-faith opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size.

(c)       No Effect on Demand and Shelf Registrations. No Registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 or shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 2.01, Section 2.02 or Section 2.03.

Section 2.05.     Black-out Periods.

In the case of any Company Public Sale or an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 that is an Underwritten Offering, each Participating Holder agrees with the Company, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, to execute a lock-up agreement in customary form, in which the Participating Holders may be required to agree not to (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Company Shares (including Company Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission and Company Shares that may be issued upon exercise of any Company Share Equivalents) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Company Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of Company Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Company Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise, in each case, during the period that is forty-five (45) days (or such greater or lesser period as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in the FINRA rules or any successor provisions or amendments thereto) after the date of the commencement of such Underwritten Offering, to the extent timely notified in writing by the Company or the managing underwriter or underwriters (or such other period as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters); provided, that the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on (i) the Company, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (or persons in substantially equivalent positions), in their capacities as such, or (iii) on any other holder of more than 5% of the Company Shares, in each case, in connection with such Underwritten Offering; provided, further, that nothing herein will prevent any Participating Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity from making a distribution of Registrable Securities to the partners, members, stockholders or other equityholders thereof or a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise in compliance with the applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees or transferees agree to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.05(a), or participating in any merger, acquisition or similar change of control transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any lock-up agreement to be executed shall contain additional exceptions as may be agreed by the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter. This Section 2.05 shall not prohibit any transaction by any Participating Holder that is permitted by its lock-up agreement entered into in connection with an Underwritten Offering with the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering (as such lock-up agreement is modified or waived by such managing underwriter or underwriters from time to time). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Company Shares (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the period referenced above.

If requested by the Requesting Holder(s) or the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such Underwritten Offering, the Company shall execute a separate lock-up agreement to the foregoing effect. This Section 2.05 shall not prohibit any transaction by the Company that is permitted by its lock-up agreement or provision entered into in connection with an Underwritten Offering with the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering (as such lock-up agreement or provision is modified or waived by such managing underwriter or underwriters from time to time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company 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 Form S-8 or as part of any registration of securities for offering and sale to employees, directors or consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement.

The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each of its directors and officers (to the extent such directors and officers beneficially own Company Shares) an agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of such securities during any period referred to in this Section 2.05, except as part of any sales or distributions made pursuant to Registrations permitted under Section 2.05(b). Without limiting the foregoing (but subject to Section 2.08), if after the date hereof the Company or any of its Subsidiaries grants any Person any rights to demand or participate in a Registration, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide that the agreement with respect thereto shall include such Person’s agreement to comply with any black-out period required by this Section 2.05 as if it were a Holder hereunder. If requested by the Participating Holder(s) or the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such Underwritten Offering, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such persons referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.05(c) to execute a separate agreement to the foregoing effect. This Section 2.05 shall not prohibit any transaction by such person that is permitted by its lock-up agreement entered into in connection with an Underwritten Offering with the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering (as such lock-up agreement is modified or waived by such managing underwriter or underwriters from time to time). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Company Shares (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the period referenced above.

Section 2.10.     Indemnification.

(a)       Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Holders, each of their respective direct or indirect partners, members or shareholders and each of such partner’s, member’s or shareholder’s partners members or shareholders and, with respect to all of the foregoing Persons, each of their respective Affiliates, employees, directors, officers, trustees or 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 (collectively, the “Stockholder Parties”) from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable and documented costs and expenses of investigation and reasonable and documented attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) insofar as such Losses arise out of or are relating to (i) any failure by the Company to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, (ii) 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 or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein, which shall include any information that has been deemed to be a part of any Prospectus under Rule 159 under the Securities Act), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, (iii) 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 Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and the Company will reimburse, as incurred, each such Stockholder Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, that the Company shall not be liable to any Stockholder Party to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is relating to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such indemnified party expressly for use in the preparation thereof (including without limitation any written information provided for inclusion in the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i)). This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company 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 Stockholder Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder. The Company 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) as may be reasonably requested by any such parties and on customary terms.

(b)       Indemnification by the Participating Holders. Each Participating Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), and each other Holder, each of such other Holder’s respective direct or indirect partners, members or shareholders and each of such partner’s, member’s or shareholder’s partners members or shareholders and, with respect to all of the foregoing Persons, each of their respective Affiliates, employees, directors, officers, trustees or 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 (i) any Losses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Participating Holder’s Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein, which shall include any information that has been deemed to be a part of any Prospectus under Rule 159 under the Securities Act) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any Losses resulting from 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 Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in information furnished in writing by such Participating Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, any written information provided for inclusion in the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i)) 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 each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) was made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Participating Holder expressly for use therein, and (iii) in the event that the Company notifies such Participating Holder in writing of the occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 2.06(a)(iv), to the extent, and only to the extent, of any Losses resulting from such Participating Holder’s use of an outdated or defective Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus after the date of such notice and prior to the date that its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement may be resumed pursuant to Section 2.06(c) or, if applicable, such Participating Holder’s failure to use the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(iv), but only to the extent that the use of such supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would have corrected the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss, and (iv) in the event that the Company delivers to such Participating Holder a Postponing Officer’s Certificate or a Suspending Officer’s Certificate, to the extent, and only to the extent, of any Losses resulting from such Participating Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement after the date of such certificate in contravention of the applicable restrictions under Sections 2.02(b) or 2.02(e). In no event shall the liability of such Participating Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts (but before any taxes and expenses which may be payable by such Participating Holder) received by such Participating Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

30

(c)       Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.10 shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any 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 failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided 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 (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after delivery of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (C) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of independent outside counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (D) in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party (based upon advice of independent outside counsel), an actual or potential conflict of interest exists 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, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, in each case without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the indemnified party, unless the entry of such judgment or settlement (i) includes 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 and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party, and provided that any sums payable in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the indemnifying 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 2.10(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 not to exceed, at any one time, a total of two (2) separate firms, in the aggregate for all indemnified parties, admitted to practice in such jurisdiction.

31

(d)       Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.10 is unavailable to an indemnified party 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 Commission by the Company, 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 2.10(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 2.10(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 2.10(a) and 2.10(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 2.10(d), in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company, a Participating Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts (but before any taxes and expenses which may be payable by such Participating Holder) received by such Participating Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amount paid by such Participating Holders pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Each Participating Holder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 2.10 is several in the proportion that the proceeds of the offering received by such Participating Holder bears to the total proceeds of the offering received by all such Participating Holders and not joint. If indemnification is available under this Section 2.10, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 2.10(a) and 2.10(b) hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 2.10(d).

32

(e)       No Exclusivity. The remedies provided for in this Section 2.10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity or pursuant to any other agreement.

(f)        Survival. The indemnities provided in this Section 2.10 shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by such Holder.

(g)       Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified herein (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Participating Holder with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any law other than the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Section 2.11.     Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company covenants that it will 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 Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the reasonable request of any Holder, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act), all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act 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 Commission. Upon the reasonable request of a Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

Section 2.12.     Limitation on Registrations and Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding the rights and obligations set forth in Section 2.02 and Section 2.03, in no event shall the Company be obligated to take any action to effect any Demand Registration or any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down within 90 days after the consummation of a previous Demand Registration or Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down.

Section 2.13.     In-Kind Distributions. If any Holder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Company Shares to such Holder’s direct or indirect equityholders, the Company will reasonably cooperate with and assist such Holder, such equityholders and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Holder (including the delivery of instruction letters by the Company or its counsel to the Company’s transfer agent, the delivery of customary legal opinions by counsel to the Company and the delivery of Company Shares without restrictive legends, to the extent the restrictions set forth therein are no longer applicable).

33

ARTICLE III

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.01.     Term. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Holder, (i) if such Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own less than one percent (1)% of the outstanding Company Shares, if all of the Registrable Securities then owned by such Holder and its Affiliates could be sold in any ninety (90)-day period pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction as to volume or manner of sale or (ii) if all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder have been sold in a Registration pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

Section 3.02.     Injunctive Relief. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Person shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, 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.
