Related to Required Registrations of the Shares

• Required Registrations At any time or times after the date hereof (so long as IXC shall own Registrable Securities which are not eligible for sale by IXC under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act), IXC may notify the Company in writing that it (i) intends to offer or cause to be offered for public sale all or any portion of its Registrable Securities (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such shares by IXC) and (ii) request that the Company cause such Registrable Securities to be registered under the Securities Act; provided, however, that IXC may make only three requests for registration under this Section 2.2. Upon receipt of such notification, subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the Company will notify all of the Persons who would be entitled to notice of a proposed registration under Existing Registration Rights or Other Registration Rights of its receipt of such notification. Upon the written request of any such Person delivered to the Company within 30 days after receipt from the Company of such notification, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities as may be requested by IXC or such securities as may be requested by any such Person to be registered under the Securities Act within 125 days of the notification by IXC, in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2; provided, however, that unless such registration becomes effective and remains in effect for 60 days, such registration shall not be counted as one of the three requests for registration that may be made by IXC under this Section 2.2. IXC shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) (which shall be of national standing and reputation) to administer any underwritten public offering under this Section 2.2, subject to the execution and delivery by such investment banker(s) to the Company of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. If requested in writing by the Company, IXC and the other Persons participating in a registration under this Section 2.2 shall negotiate in good faith with any underwriters retained in connection with the underwriting of such registration. In the case of the registration of Registrable Securities in connection with an underwritten public offering under this Section 2.2, if the underwriter determines that the registration of securities in excess of an amount determined by such underwriter would adversely affect such offering, then the Company may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) exclude from such registration and underwriting some or all of the Registrable Securities and other securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant to this Section 2.2. The Company shall advise IXC and the other Persons who requested to participate in such registration promptly after such determination by the underwriter, and the number of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the number of securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among IXC and such other Persons requesting that Registrable Securities or other securities be included in such registration and underwriting in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to their respective holdings of Registrable Securities and other securities; provided, however, that if the number of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration shall be reduced to a number which is less than 80% of the number of Registrable Securities as to which IXC requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, then such registration shall not be counted as one of the three requests for registration that may be made by IXC under this Section 2.2. All expenses of such registration and offering and the reasonable fees and expenses of one independent counsel for IXC and the other Persons who requested to participate in such registration shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall have no liability for such expenses if such registration does not become effective due solely to the action or failure to act of IXC and (ii) IXC and other Persons who requested to participate in such registration shall bear underwriting and selling discounts and commissions attributable to their Registrable Securities or other securities being registered and transfer taxes on shares being sold by them. The Company may postpone the filing of any registration statement required hereunder for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days during any 12 month period of time, if the Company has been advised by legal counsel that such filing would require the disclosure of a material transaction or other matter and the Company determines reasonably and in good faith that such disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under this Section 2.2 more than 135 days following the end of the Company's fiscal year, if such registration shall require the preparation of audited financial statements for any interim period not otherwise prepared by the Company. If a demand registration is requested during such period, subject to the second preceding sentence, the Company will commence such registration promptly following the end of the next fiscal year. The Company will enter into customary agreements (including underwriting agreements) reasonably acceptable to the Company to facilitate the demand registrations provided for above.

• Required Registration (a) Any time after the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months following a Qualified Public Offering and (ii) the date that is four (4) years after the date of this Agreement, the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding (or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock or a combination thereof) may request the Company to register under the Securities Act all or any portion of the shares of Registrable Securities held by such requesting holder or holders for sale in the manner specified in such notice; provided, however, that the shares of Registrable Securities for which registration has been requested shall be at least 20% of the shares of Registrable Securities then held by such requesting holder or holders (or a lesser percentage if the anticipated gross receipts from the offering would exceed $40,000,000). (b) Following receipt of any notice under this Section 4, the Company shall, within twenty (20) days of receipt thereof, notify all holders of Registrable Securities and Preferred Stock from whom notice has not been received and such holders shall then be entitled within thirty (30) days thereafter to request the Company to include in the requested registration all or any portion of their shares of Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition described in paragraph (a) above, the number of shares of Registrable Securities specified in such notice (and in all notices received by the Company from other holders within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice by the Company). The Company shall be obligated to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4 on two (2) occasions only; provided, however, that such obligation shall be deemed satisfied only when (i) a registration statement covering all shares (or such lesser number as permitted by Section 4(d) below) of Registrable Securities specified in notices received as aforesaid (and not subsequently withdrawn) for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders shall have become effective and remain effective for the period of distribution contemplated thereby (unless such requesting holders request that such registration statement be withdrawn, in which case such obligation of the Company shall be deemed satisfied unless such requesting holders pay all Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 8) incurred in connection with the withdrawn registration statement), and (ii) where such registration statement has become effective, if such method of disposition is a firm commitment underwritten public offering, and all such shares shall have been sold to the underwriters pursuant thereto (not including shares eligible for sale pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 4: (i) during the period within ninety (90) days after the effective date of a registration pursuant to Section 4 or Section 6 hereof, or in which the holders of Registrable Securities shall have been entitled to join pursuant to Section 5; (ii) if the shares of Registrable Securities to be registered may be immediately registered on Form S-3; or (iii) during the period within twelve (12) months after the closing of an initial public offering of Common Stock by the Company. (c) The Company shall be entitled to include in any registration statement referred to in this Section 4 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account, except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Registrable Securities to be sold. Subject to Section 14(h) and except for registration statements on Form X-0, X-0 or any successor thereto, the Company will not file with the Commission any other registration statement with respect to its Common Stock, whether for its own account or that of other stockholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from requesting holders requesting sale pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 4 until thirty (30) days after the date such registration statement is declared effective. The right of any holder to include such holder’s Registrable Securities in an underwritten registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in reasonable and customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. (d) If in the opinion of the managing underwriter the inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered under this Section 4 would adversely affect the marketing of such shares, shares to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities shall be excluded only after any shares to be sold by the Company and any other parties including shares for sale in such registration have been excluded, in such manner that the shares to be sold shall be allocated among the requesting holders pro rata based on their ownership of Registrable Securities. In the event the number of shares to be sold by requesting holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten registration under this Section 4 is reduced pursuant to this Section 4(d), such registration shall still count towards satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to register shares under this Section provided that such registration includes at least 40% of the shares of Registrable Securities so requested to be included by the requesting holders.

• Registration of the Shares (i) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC, by August 31, 2011, a Registration Statement under the Securities Act to permit the public sale of the Restricted Stock and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Selling Stockholders shall furnish such information as may be reasonably requested by the Company in order to include such Restricted Stock in such Registration Statement. If the Selling Stockholders decide not to include all or any portion of their Restricted Stock in such Registration Statement, then the Company shall have no further obligation to include such Restricted Stock in any subsequent Registration Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities. (ii) In the event that any registration pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock on behalf of the Company, all Selling Stockholders proposing to distribute their Restricted Stock through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If the managing underwriter thereof advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such registration: (A) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (B) second, the Restricted Stock and any other registrable securities eligible and requested to be included in such registration to the extent that the number of shares to be registered under this clause (B) will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, adversely affect the offering of the securities pursuant to clause (A). In such a case, shares shall be registered pro rata among the holders of such Restricted Stock and registrable securities on the basis of the number of shares eligible for registration that are owned by all such holders and requested to be included in such registration. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company's obligation in Sections 7(b)(i) and (ii) above shall extend only to the inclusion of the Restricted Stock in a Registration Statement. The Company shall have no obligation to assure the terms and conditions of distribution, to obtain a commitment from an underwriter relative to the sale of the Restricted Stock, or to otherwise assume any responsibility for the manner, price or terms of the distribution of the Restricted Stock. (iv) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 7(b) prior to the effectiveness of such registration without thereby incurring liability to the holders of the Restricted Stock, regardless of whether any holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 7(e)) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 7(d) hereof.

• Priority in Requested Registrations If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such registration (including securities of the Company which are not Registrable Securities) would be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be offered in such offering as contemplated by the Holders (an “Adverse Effect”), then the Company shall include in such registration (a) first, 100% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Demand Party and all other Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2 (to the extent that the managing underwriter believes that all such Registrable Securities can be sold in such offering without having an Adverse Effect; provided, that if the managing underwriter does not so believe and the Demand Party does not exercise its right set forth in the second succeeding sentence of this clause (g), such lesser number of Registrable Securities as specified by the Demand Party) and (b) second, to the extent the managing underwriter believes additional securities can be sold in the offering without having an Adverse Effect, the amount of Other Securities requested to be included by Other Holders in such registration, allocated pro rata among all requesting Other Holders on the basis of the relative amount of all Other Securities requested to be included in such registration. In the event that the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities to be included in such registration is less than the number which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold without having an Adverse Effect, the Company may include in such registration the securities the Company proposes to sell up to the number of securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having an Adverse Effect. If the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Party, then the Demand Party shall have the right to notify the Company that it has determined that the number of shares to be included in such registration shall be reduced to a number that allows an offering in the price range or that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall effect the reduction, or abandon or withdraw such registration statement; provided, however, that if (i) Holders of Registrable Securities other than the Demand Party are participating in such registration pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (ii) the Company has included Top-Up Shares in such registration pursuant to Section 4.2(b) and the Demand Party shall have exercised its right to reduce the number of shares to be included or to abandon or withdraw such registration, such other Holders or the Company, as the case may be, shall be permitted to proceed with such registration and its offering of shares thereunder. Any registration attempted to be withdrawn by a Demand Party pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be counted as the Demand Party’s registration demand provided in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith.

• Public Offering of the Securities The Representatives hereby advise the Company that the Underwriters intend to offer for sale to the public, as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, their respective portions of the Securities as soon after the Execution Time as the Representatives, in their sole judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable.

• Public Offering of the Shares The Representatives hereby advise the Company that the Underwriters intend to offer for sale to the public, as described in the Prospectus, their respective portions of the Shares as soon after this Agreement has been executed and the Registration Statement has been declared effective as the Representatives, in their sole judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable.

• Piggy-Back Registrations If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

• Limitations on Requested Registration The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.1: (i) Prior to the earlier of (A) the four (4) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (B) six (6) months following the effective date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering; (ii) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; (iii) After the Company has initiated two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1 (counting for these purposes only (1) registrations where at least 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered are in fact registered and which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (2) registrations that closed, or were withdrawn at the request of the Holders (other than as a result of a material adverse change to the Company)); or (iv) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days (or in the case of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, one hundred eighty (180) days) after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration (other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans); provided that (A) the Company is actively employing in good faith best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, (B) with respect to any request for registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) received prior the date of filing of such Company-initiated registration, the Company shall have delivered written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intent to file such registration within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such request.

• Issuance of the Shares; Registration The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. The Company has prepared and filed the Registration Statement in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, which became effective on November 4, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), including the Prospectus, and such amendments and supplements thereto as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus has been issued by the Commission and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, are threatened by the Commission. The Company, if required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, shall file the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). At the time the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was issued and at the Closing Date, conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
