ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS

1.1              Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the relevant Phase I Agreement, as applicable.

 2

2.3              Acknowledgment; Release of Encumbrances.

Section 2.1            Grant of Option.

(a)                Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Renova hereby grants to EMYC the right and option to acquire each set of Project Assets and the Project Company Shares pertaining to the Projects (the “Option”). The terms of the acquisition pursuant to the Option shall be as set forth below or on such other terms as EMYC may propose that are more favorable to Renova.

(b)               The Option shall be exercisable by EMYC, on the terms and conditions set forth below, from the date hereof until December 31, 2016 and shall not be exercisable by EMYC at any time thereafter unless otherwise agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.4 or otherwise.

(c)                With respect to any Short-Term Project, at least twenty-five (25) days prior to Renova or any Subsidiary thereof (including any Project Company) either (i) submitting

 5 
 

a bid in any auction or other request for renewable energy power sales from any Project issued by any Governmental Body or (ii) offering to enter into a market-based power sale agreement with any Third Party (each of the foregoing items (i) and (ii), a “Bid”), Renova shall notify EMYC in writing that Renova intends to bid in such auction or other request or intends to make a binding offer for a market based power sale agreement (the “Notice of Intent to Bid”). The Notice of Intent to Bid shall identify the Project or Projects that will be involved or included in the bid, the anticipated size of the Project or Projects, the estimated Project output, the anticipated range of power prices, the anticipated term of the power purchase agreement, the expected Commercial Operation, the estimated month and year of the closing of the acquisition of the Project by EMYC and a proposed financial model that Renova shall prepare in good faith and in a manner consistent with its past practices, which shall include, among other information, profit and losses, balance sheet and cash flow estimated for the Project, main assumptions to calculate the valuation of the Project and the statement of calculation of the valuation of the Project (a “Proposed Financial Model”). Renova shall update the information in the Notice of Intent to Bid no less frequently than weekly from the date of the initial delivery of the Notice of Intent to Bid up until the moment Renova or any Subsidiary thereof (including any Project Company) makes a Bid.

(d)               With respect to any Long-Term Project, at least two (2) years prior to its Commercial Operation or up to thirty (30) days from the receipt by EMYC of a notice sent by Renova relating to a commitment of any form of Third Party debt or equity financing, whichever occurs first, Renova shall notify EMYC in writing that Renova intends to obtain such financing (the “Notice of Intent to Finance”). The Notice of Intent to Finance shall identify the Project or Projects that will be involved or included in the bid, the anticipated size of the Project or Projects, the estimated Project output, the anticipated range of power prices, the anticipated term of the power purchase agreement and a Proposed Financial Model.

(e)                EMYC shall have the right to exercise the Option up to twenty-four (24) hours prior to the opening of the applicable auction for any Short-Term Projects and within twenty (20) days after EMYC’s receipt of the Notice of Intent to Finance for any Long-Term Projects, as applicable (the “Option Term”), by providing written notice to Renova of its intent to exercise the Option and acquire the totality of the Project Assets or Project Company Shares, as the case may be (the “Option Exercise Notice”).

(f)                Upon presentation of the Notice of Intent to Bid or Notice of Intent to Finance, as applicable, or prior thereto and at all times during the applicable Option Term, Renova shall provide EMYC with (i) full access to an electronic data room that contains all permits, reports, data, correspondence, leases, rights of way, corporate formation and operational documents, shareholders’ agreements, power purchase tender or proposal documents, interconnection agreements, development agreements, construction contracts, equipment supply agreements and all other contracts and any other information that may be material to the Project, the Project Company or EMYC’s decision whether to exercise the Option, (ii) full access to the Project site and the right to conduct reasonable visual and invasive tests thereon and (iii) such other information and materials as EMYC may reasonably request.

(g)               The price for the acquisition of the totality of the Project Assets or the Project Company Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be an amount equal to a ten percent

 6 
 

(10%) yield applied to the average CAFD for such Project for the five (5) years following such Project’s estimated transfer date, based on the applicable Proposed Financial Model (for the avoidance of doubt, by delivery of an Option Exercise Notice, EMYC agrees to utilize the applicable Proposed Financial Model for the purposes of calculating and adjusting the Option Price), provided that for the five (5) year CAFD following the estimated transfer date, the Estimated Inflation shall not be greater than six percent (6%) per annum. The amount determined pursuant to this Section 2.1(g) shall be the “Option Price.”

(h)               EMYC and Renova shall negotiate and cooperate in good faith to come to an agreement on the closing Option Price, which will include a deduction of fifty percent (50%) of any increased value of the applicable Project as a result of the total operating expenses and maintenance capital expenses (in each case, as defined by IFRS) estimated to be incurred for the five (5) years following the estimated transfer date being less than the assumed amounts for each such expense set forth in the Proposed Financial Model, and any adjustments for the amounts set forth in the Proposed Financial Model. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1 to the contrary, if, after the exercise by EMYC of the Option as to any Short-Term Project, such Project is not selected in the bid tender or the negotiations for a power sale agreement for such Project in the market are not successful, the exercise by EMYC of the Option with respect to such Project shall be deemed automatically rescinded and the Option shall continue to apply to such Project.

(i)                 In the event EMYC exercises its Option (i) as to any one or more Short-Term Projects and the bid or other action to acquire a power purchase agreement for such Project is successful, then within fifteen (15) days after Renova learns of the successful tender or executes another power purchase agreement or (ii) as to any one or more Long-Term Projects, then within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Option Exercise Notice, Renova and EMYC (or their respective Affiliates) shall enter into a swap agreement for the transfer of the applicable Project Assets or the Project Company Shares, as the case may be, in a form that contains provisions substantively equivalent to those of Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, Articles 3, 6, 8, 9 (except for 9.7), 10 (except for 10.12(b)) and 11, Sections 12.1(a), 12.1(b), 12.1(c), 12.1(d), 12.1(e), 12.1(f), 12.1(h), 12.1(i), 12.1(j), 12.2(a), 12.2(b), 12.2(c), 12.2(d), 12.2(e), 12.2(f), 12.2(i) and 12.2(j) and Articles 13, 14, 15 and 16 of the Backlog Projects SSA, except, (x) references therein to “one (1) year CAFD” shall be deemed to be “five (5) year average CAFD”, provided that for the five (5) year CAFD following the estimated transfer date, the Estimated Inflation shall not be greater than six percent (6%) per annum and (y) in the case of a transfer of Project Assets, the representations and warranties and operative provisions of such provisions shall be adjusted as is reasonably necessary to reflect a sale of assets, and in each case will provide that the swap value for the Project Company Shares or the Project Assets will be the Option Price as described and calculated above. Each such agreement shall be referred to herein as a “Development Asset Agreement.”

(j)                 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Development Asset Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by any such Development Asset Agreement, EMYC (or one or more of its Affiliates, as applicable) shall pay or cause to be paid to Renova, consideration in the form of a number of shares of TERG Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Option Price by (ii) the Weighted Average Price for the thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the closing date

 7 
 

of the transactions contemplated by such Development Asset Agreement (rounded down to the nearest whole share), to be issued to Renova.

(k)               Upon and after the execution of a Development Asset Agreement for a particular Project, Renova, at its sole cost and expense, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Project to reach Commercial Operation.

(l)                 In the event that the applicable Project Company Shares are in a Project Company in which Renova or its Affiliate do not own one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests, the Option shall apply only to those Project Company Shares that Renova or its Affiliate does own, together with any rights to cause the other owners of the relevant Project Company to sell or transfer its interests to Renova under any so-called “drag along” or similar rights.

(m)             If EMYC delivers a written notice to Renova stating that it does not wish to exercise the Option with respect to any Notice of Intent to Bid or Notice of Intent to Finance, or if EMYC fails to respond to any such notice within the applicable Option Period (in which event EMYC shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise such Option) then the provisions of Section 2.2 below shall apply.

(n)               EMYC may exercise the Option as provided herein for any Project Assets or Project Company Shares for any particular Project, while electing not to exercise the Option for Project Assets or Project Company Shares for other Projects. Such decision to exercise or not exercise the Option with respect to any Project shall not affect EMYC’s rights under this Agreement for future or other Projects and EMYC shall have the continuing right to receive Notices of Intent to Bid and Notices of Intent to Finance, and to exercise its rights under all Options arising under each such Notice of Intent to Bid and Notice of Intent to Finance from time to time during the Term with respect all other Projects, Project Assets and Project Company Shares.

(o)               In the event that any Project Assets or any Project Company Shares are sold or transferred to a Subsidiary of Renova, the Options granted herein shall be binding on such Subsidiary and such Project Assets and Project Company notwithstanding such transfer.

Section 2.2            Right of First Refusal.

(a)                Upon the termination of an Option with respect to any Project and continuing until (i) in the case of any Project for which Renova holds all or a majority of the equity interests, the three (3) year anniversary of Commercial Operation for such Project or (ii) in the case of any Project for which Renova holds a minority of the equity interests, the two (2) year anniversary of acquisition of such minority equity interest (the “ROFR Period” and, such Project, the “ROFR Project”), EMYC shall have a right (subject to any transfer rights the other shareholders of such Projects may have) of first refusal to acquire the Project Assets or the Project Company Shares of such Project on the following terms and conditions (the “Right of First Refusal”).

(b)               Prior to Renova or its Affiliates (including any Project Company) selling or otherwise transferring to any Person that is not an Affiliate of Renova (a “Transferee”) the

 8 
 

Project Assets or Project Company Shares of the ROFR Project, Renova shall deliver a written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) to EMYC and shall offer to sell such Project Assets or Project Company Shares to EMYC on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to EMYC than those on which such Transferee has agreed in writing to acquire such Project Company Shares or Project Assets. The ROFR Notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the identity of such Transferee, the specific Project Assets or Project Company Shares to be transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer.

(c)                EMYC may elect to purchase the Project Assets or Project Company Shares subject to a ROFR Notice upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the ROFR Notice by delivering a written notice of such election to Renova within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “ROFR Exercise Notice”); provided, however, that the form of consideration payable by EMYC in any such transaction shall be an amount of TERG Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the price for the purchase of such Project Assets or Project Company as set forth in the definitive agreement for such transaction by (ii) the Weighted Average Price for the thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the closing date of such transaction (rounded down to the nearest whole share), to be issued to Renova.

(d)               Upon Renova’s receipt of a ROFR Exercise Notice, Renova and EMYC shall consummate the transfer of the applicable ROFR Project within sixty (60) days on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFR Notice.

(e)                If EMYC does not deliver a ROFR Exercise Notice within the forty-five (45) day period described in Section 2.1(c) above, Renova may, for a period of three hundred sixty (360) days following expiration of such period, transfer the ROFR Project to any Person that is not an Affiliate of Renova at a price and on terms no more favorable to such Transferee than those specified in the ROFR Notice. If the ROFR Project is not transferred within such three hundred sixty (360)-day period, it will again be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2 in connection with any subsequent Transfer.

Section 2.3            Independent Option ROFR Consideration. In addition to the consideration described in the recitals above, EMYC shall pay Renova One Hundred Brazilian Reais (R$100) at the execution of this Agreement in consideration of the Option, the Right of First Refusal and Right of First Offer granted herein.

Section 2.4            Good Faith Negotiation. From the date hereof until December 31, 2016, EMYC and Renova shall negotiate and cooperate in good faith to (a) agree on terms, including price, by which the parties would extend the exercise period for the Option beyond December 31, 2016 and (b) agree on a mutually beneficial exclusivity provision that would apply beyond December 31, 2016.

Section 3.                Piggyback Registrations.

 4

Whenever the Company proposes to (i) register an offering of any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (x) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor or similar forms, or (y) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities), and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of an offering of Registrable Securities or (ii) undertake a registered offering of its securities under the Securities Act and the offering of Registrable Securities may be included pursuant to an effective registration statement (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event within three Business Days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of demand registration rights by holders of the Company’s Capital Stock, if applicable) and, subject to the terms of Section 3(c), shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein from a Holder within 15 days after delivery of the Company’s notice.

(b)               Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of a Holder shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration became effective.

(c)                Priority on Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten registration, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their reasonable and good faith opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, in respect of underwriters’ cutbacks (i) any securities requested to be included by a Holder in a Piggyback Registration shall be pari passu to any securities requested to be included in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to “piggy back” registration rights of the other holders of the Company’s securities (the “Piggyback Registration Rights”) and (ii) any Piggyback Registration Rights shall be subordinate to (A) any securities the Company proposes to sell in the underwritten registration and (B) any securities proposed to be included in such underwritten registration pursuant to agreements with the Company by Persons exercising demand registration rights.

(d)               Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the Company (or any shareholder who may have the right to select the investment banker) shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) or manager(s) for the offering.

(e)                Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 whether or not a Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 6.

(f)                Suspension Period.

 5 
 

(i)                 The Company may suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement for up to 60 days from the date of the Suspension Notice (as defined below) and therefore suspend sales of Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (such period, the “Suspension Period”) by providing written notice to each Holder if the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such suspension is in the best interests of the Company in connection with any proposal or plan by the Company or any Subsidiary to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving the Company. The Company may not utilize more than one Suspension Period in any 12-month period, except with the consent of the Holder.

(ii)               In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement as set forth in paragraph (f)(i) above (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give a written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice (but shall not contain any material non-public information concerning the Company) and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event is continuing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and to the Holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event; provided that the Company shall deliver the End of Suspension Notice within the Suspension Period.

Section 4.                Holdback Agreements. Upon the request of the Company, the Holder shall enter into lock up agreements with the managing underwriters of an underwritten Public Offering in such form as agreed to by the Company (in the case of a primary offering) or holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten Public Offering (regardless of whether any Registrable Securities are included in such underwritten Public Offering); provided that, subject to Section 4(b), the duration of any such lock up agreement shall not exceed 60 days unless agreed to by such Holder; provided, further, that if the managing underwriters of the underwritten Public Offering waive the 60-day period or any other lock-up period, such waiver shall apply to Renova and the Company shall promptly notify Renova in writing of such waiver. In the absence of any such lock up agreement, the Holder agrees as follows:

(a)                in connection with any underwritten Public Offering, such Holder shall not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to

 6 
 

Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any Capital Stock of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including Capital Stock of the Company or its Subsidiaries that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such Holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (collectively, “Securities”), (ii) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect as described in clause (i) above, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities, in cash or otherwise, (iv) exercise any rights to demand registration of any of the Company’s securities (each of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, a “Sale Transaction”), or (v) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, commencing on the earlier of the date on which the Company gives written notice to the Holder that a preliminary or final prospectus for such Public Offering has been circulated or the “pricing” of such offering and continuing to the date that is [60] days following the date of the final prospectus for such Public Offering (the “Holdback Period”), unless, if an underwritten Public Offering, the underwriters managing the Public Offering otherwise agree in writing; and

(b)               in the event that (i) the Company issues an earnings release or discloses other material information or a material event relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries occurs during the last 17 days of the Holdback Period or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning upon the expiration of such period, then to the extent necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering hereunder to comply with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4), the Holdback Period shall be extended until 18 days after the earnings release or disclosure of other material information or the occurrence of the material event, as the case may be (a “Holdback Extension”).

(c)                The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4 until the end of such period, including any Holdback Extension.

Section 5.                Registration Procedures.

(a)                In connection with any registration contemplated hereunder, the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

(i)                 notify the Holder of Registrable Securities of (A) the issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (B) the receipt by the Company or its counsel or any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and (C) the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder;

(ii)               prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period ending when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been

(vi)             use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange;

Such seller shall keep any of the information contained in the draft registration statement, prospectus or amendment provided in accordance with this Section 5(a)(vii) confidential unless (x) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (y) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction or (z) such information has been made generally available to the public (including as a result of the filing of the registration statement, prospectus or amendment);

All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company) (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by the Company as provided in this Agreement. Each Person that sells securities in a Piggyback Registration hereunder shall bear and pay all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the securities sold for such Person’s account.

(b)               Counsel Fees and Disbursements. In connection with each Piggyback Registration hereunder, the Holder shall bear its own expenses (which shall not include Registration Expenses) including any fees or disbursements of counsel to the Holder relating thereto.

Section 7.                Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)                By the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, the Holder’s officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or related to any of the following statements, omissions or violations by the Company: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this Section 7, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities

 10 
 

laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. In addition, the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, damages, liabilities or expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or such Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Party expressly for use therein; provided that the Company hereby agrees that such information shall be the Indemnified Party’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold in the offering and the Indemnified Party’s intended method of distribution in the offering.

(b)               By the Holder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by the Holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(c)                Claim Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such failure has materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the control and defense of such claim, at its own cost, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of) and the indemnified party shall be entitled to have control over, at the indemnifying party’s sole expense, the control and defense of any third party claim (A) if the indemnifying party shall have failed to acknowledge its indemnification obligations hereunder, (B) if the indemnifying party fails to actively assume the control and defense in a timely manner, (C) if the indemnified party, based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party, shall have concluded that there are defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the

 11 
 

indemnified party without such indemnifying party’s consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the control and defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel, in addition to any local counsel, for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, in addition to any local counsel, chosen by the Holder if such Holder is an indemnified party, at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d)               Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the 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 the contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account such equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject hereof. 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 is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)                Release. No indemnifying party shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a complete release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(f)                Non-exclusive Remedy; Survival. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive

 12 
 

the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect until the date that is 60 days after the date on which the applicable legal statute of limitation periods ends.

Section 8.                Underwritten Offerings.

(a)                Participation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder may not participate in any underwritten offering unless the Holder (i) agrees to sell the Holder’s securities on the basis provided in the applicable underwriting arrangements for such underwritten offering (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that the Holder shall not be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such Holder has requested to include) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Holder shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such Holder’s obligations under Section 4 and this Section 8(a) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 4 and this Section 8(a), the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the Holder, the Company and the underwriters created pursuant to this Section 8(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such Holder, such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering and such and such Holder’s intended method of distribution in such offering) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.

(b)               Suspended Distributions. Each Person that is participating in any registration under this Agreement, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5(a)(v), shall immediately discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 5(a)(v).

Section 9.                Transfer of Registrable Securities.

(a)                Restrictions on Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except in the case of (i) a transfer to the Company, (ii) a Public Offering, (iii) a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or (iv) a transfer in connection with a sale of the Company, prior to transferring any Registrable Securities to any Person (including, without limitation, by operation of law), the transferring Holder shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a joinder, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(b)               Legend. Each certificate evidencing any Registrable Securities and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any Registrable Securities (unless such

 13 
 

Registrable Securities would no longer be Registrable Securities after such transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [●], 2015, AND AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES THERETO. A COPY OF SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Registrable Securities outstanding prior to the date hereof, and shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing the Common Stock. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities. Any request by the Holder to the Company to remove restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities shall be subject to the Holder’s delivery of documentation to the Company or its transfer agent deemed reasonably necessary by the Company for the removal of such restrictive legends.

Section 10.            General Provisions.

(a)                Preservation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from granting any registration rights to third parties regardless of whether such rights are more favorable than the rights granted hereunder, including, without limitation, with respect to inclusion for registration in underwritten offerings that are subject to underwriters’ cutbacks; provided, however, that the Company shall not enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that violates the rights expressly granted to the Holder in this Agreement.

(b)               Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the Holder. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.

(c)                Remedies. The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from

 14 
 

any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)               Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law or regulation, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(e)                Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(f)                Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights which may accrue to the Holder may be transferred or assigned by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that an assignment by the Holder to an Affiliate thereof in connection with the transfer of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities shall require notice of such transfer and assignment to the Company but not consent. Any purported assignment not permitted by this Section 10(f) shall be null and void.

(g)               Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication to be given under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; but if not, then on the next Business Day, (iii) one Business Day after it is sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) or (iv) three Business Days after it is mailed to the recipient by first class mail, return receipt requested.
