(b) The restrictions in Section 2.2(a) shall not (i) prevent the Shareholders from exercising their rights under Section 2.4, (ii) (A) following the third anniversary of the Closing Date, prevent the Shareholders from purchasing Common Shares in the secondary market or in a tender offer or (B) following the receipt of approval from the competition authorities, or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the competition laws, as applicable, of Germany or Ukraine, prevent the Shareholders from purchasing Common Shares in the secondary market pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, in each case, in an amount such that (after giving effect to any such purchases) the Shareholders and their Affiliates Beneficially Own no more than 27.5% of the Voting Power of the Company, (iii) to the extent that the Shareholders’ Beneficial Ownership of Company Securities is diluted solely as a result of the issuance of Company Securities pursuant to employee or director stock option or incentive compensation or similar plans granted after the Closing Date, prevent the Shareholders from purchasing up to an Amount of Company Securities in the secondary market solely to enable the Shareholders to maintain such level of Beneficial Ownership as if the dilution resulting from such issuance had not occurred, or (iv) prevent the Shareholders from increasing their Beneficial Ownership of Company Securities following the occurrence of a Change of Control.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall (i) prohibit or restrict the Shareholders from responding to any inquiries from any shareholders of the Company as to the Shareholders’ intention with respect to the voting of any Company Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholders so long as such response is consistent with the terms of this

- 9 -

Agreement or (ii) restrict the right of any Shareholder Director to vote on any matter as such individual believes appropriate in light of his or her duties as a director or committee member or the manner in which a Shareholder Director may participate in his capacity as a director in deliberations or discussions at meetings of the Board or as a member of any committee thereof.

(d) If the Board shall, at any time and in good faith, be of the opinion that the Shareholders and their Affiliates Own Voting Power of the Company in excess of the amounts permitted by this Section 2.2 (and such excess amount was not the result of any share repurchase or recapitalization or any other transaction approved by the Board) the Company shall so advise the Shareholders and request them to reduce the level of Ownership to an amount below the applicable level (and in connection therewith, shall waive any transfer restrictions otherwise applicable under this Article II); provided, that any transferee does not directly engage as a primary part of its business in aircraft or aircraft engine leasing or financing. If the Shareholders shall fail to effect such reduction within ten (10) Business Days of the date on which so advised by the Company, the Company shall have the power (i) by lot or other means deemed equitable by them to call for the purchase by the Company from any Shareholder a number of Common Shares sufficient, in the opinion of the Board, to bring such Ownership to no more than the amount permitted by this Section 2.2, and (ii) to refuse to transfer or issue Company Securities to the Shareholders and their Affiliates. The purchase price per share for any such Common Shares shall be equal to the average closing sales price per share for the Common Shares as reported by the NYSE or other national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed for the twenty (20) trading days preceding such purchase. Payment of the purchase price shall be made in cash by the Company at such time and in such manner as may be determined by the Company.

If the Company fails to grant an exemption from the ownership restrictions set forth in this Section 2.2, then any action described in clauses (i) through (x) of Section 2.2(a) that would result in the Shareholders and their Affiliates Owning Voting Power of the Company in excess of the amounts permitted by this Section 2.2 shall be deemed void ab initio and the applicable Shareholders shall be deemed never to have had an interest in the applicable Company Securities. If the foregoing provision is determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the applicable Shareholders shall be deemed, at the option of the Company, to have acted as agent on behalf of the Company in acquiring such Company Securities and to hold such Company Securities on behalf of the Company.

Section 2.3 Investor Share Purchases.

(a) If, at any time after the Closing Date and for so long as (i) the Shareholders shall Own 15.0% or more of the Voting Power of the Company and (ii) the Shareholders are not otherwise prohibited from purchasing Common Shares in the secondary market pursuant to the provision of Section 2.2(b)(ii) or otherwise under this Agreement or applicable law, then the Investor may, subject to Section 2.3(b), elect to effect such purchase by commencing a tender offer (“Tender Offer”) to purchase a number of Common Shares not in excess of the number of Common Shares permitted to be purchased under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the provisions of this Section 2.3 permit any action otherwise prohibited under Section 2.2.

(b) In the event that the Investor elects to commence a Tender Offer, the Investor shall deliver written notice thereof to the Company not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to commencement. The Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to the Investor) for up to an aggregate of ninety (90) days during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months the commencement by the Investor of a Tender Offer if the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that the filing of Offer Documents by the Investor or the filing of a Schedule 14D-9 by Company would cause the disclosure of material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential.

(c) Each of the Investor and the Company shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other in connection with any proposed purchase of Common Shares by the Investor that is permitted hereunder, including any purchases to be made pursuant to a Tender Offer and any purchases to be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan; provided, that such cooperation shall not require the Board to make any recommendation as to whether the shareholders of the Company should tender their Common Shares in any such Tender Offer.

(d) Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Tender Offer, the Investor shall hold in confidence all information furnished to the Investor by the Company or its agents and shall use such information only in connection with the Tender Offer, and, if this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 7.14, shall deliver to the Company all copies of such information then in its possession.

Section 2.4 Investor Right to Maintain Position. If, at any time after the Closing Date and for so long as the Shareholders and their Affiliates Own 15.0% or more of the Voting Power of the Company, the Company shall issue for cash any additional Company Securities (except for any issuances described in the immediately following sentence), then the Company shall notify the Shareholders of such issuance and the price and terms thereof, and the Shareholders shall have the option, for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of such notice, to purchase from the Company an Amount of Company Securities for the same consideration per security and on the same terms as were applicable to such issuance by the Company.

Power of the Company for the same price and on the same terms; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply if a repurchase of Common Shares by the Company would not result in the Shareholders and their Affiliates Owning more than 27.5% of the Voting Power of the Company (it being understood for purposes of this Section 2.5, in determining the Beneficial Ownership of the Shareholders the Company may rely on (x) information provided by the Shareholders and (y) in the absence of such information, on the information contained in the Shareholders’ most recent filings with the Commission relating to their Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares, including filings pursuant to Section 13(d) or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act).

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

(a) At any time after the expiration of the transfer restrictions contained in Section 2.1(a), so long as the Shareholders, collectively, Own at least 5.0% of the Voting Power of the Company, any Shareholder (a “Requesting Shareholder”) shall be entitled to make a written request of the Company (a “Demand”) for registration under the Securities Act of an

- 15 -

amount of Registrable Securities that, when taken together with the amounts of Registrable Securities requested to be registered under the Securities Act by such Requesting Shareholder’s Affiliates, equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (based on the number of Registrable Securities outstanding on the date such Demand is made) (a “Demand Registration”) and thereupon the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of:

(i) the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Shareholders for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand;

(ii) all other Registrable Securities that the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 5.1(b); and

(iii) all Common Shares that the Company may elect to register in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.1, but subject to Section 5.1(g);

all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional Common Shares, if any, to be so registered.

(b) A Demand shall specify: (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known and (iii) the identity of the Requesting Shareholder (or Requesting Shareholders). Subject to Section 5.1(g), the Company shall include in the Demand Registration covered by such Demand all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the initial Demand.

(d) A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected and shall not count as a Demand (i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and has remained effective for a period of at least sixty (60) days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration have actually been sold thereunder), (ii) if, after it has become effective, such Demand Registration becomes subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason, (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied as a consequence of any act or omission by the Company or (iv) the number of Registrable Securities requested for inclusion is materially reduced pursuant to Section 5.1(g).

(e) Demand Registrations shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company.

- 16 -

(f) The Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to all Shareholders) for up to an aggregate of ninety (90) days during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any Demand Registration if the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration would cause the disclosure of material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential. In the event of a postponement by the Company of the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration, the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities held by the Requesting Shareholder(s) shall have the right to withdraw such Demand in accordance with Section 5.3.

(g) The Company shall not include any securities other than Registrable Securities in a Demand Registration, except with the written consent of Shareholders participating in such Demand Registration that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration. If, in connection with a Demand Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Demand Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, a nationally recognized independent investment bank selected by the Company) advises the Company, in writing, that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities, including securities of the Company that are not Registrable Securities, sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the marketability of the Registrable Securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the Company shall include in such registration statement only such securities as the Company is advised by such underwriter can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Shareholders, which, in the opinion of the underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata among such Shareholders requesting such Demand Registration on the basis of the number of such securities requested to be included by such Shareholders and such Shareholders that are Piggyback Sellers; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be included in such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such other securities requested to be included or such other method determined by the Company.

(h) Any time that a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall select the investment banker or investment bankers and managers that will serve as lead and co-managing underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities.

Section 5.2 Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any following the termination of the transfer restrictions described in Section 2.1(a) whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration by the Company on a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto) (a “Piggyback Registration”), whether for its own account or for the account of others, the Company shall give the Piggyback Shareholders prompt written notice thereof (but not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing by the Company with the Commission of any registration statement with respect thereto). Such notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) shall specify, at

- 17 -

a minimum, the number of equity securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means of distribution, the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters (if any and if known) and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed minimum offering price of such equity securities. Upon the written request of any Persons that on the date of the Piggyback Notice constitute a Piggyback Shareholder (a “Piggyback Seller”) (which written request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities then presently intended to be disposed of by such Piggyback Seller) given within five (5) Business Days after such Piggyback Notice is received by such Piggyback Seller, the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities held by Piggyback Sellers with respect to which the Company has received such written requests for inclusion to be included in such Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s equity securities being sold in such Piggyback Registration.

(b) If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Piggyback Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, a nationally recognized independent investment bank selected by the Company) advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all the equity securities sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by (i) the Company, (ii) others who have sought to have equity securities of the Company registered in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to rights to demand (other than pursuant to so-called “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights) such registration (such Persons being “Other Demanding Sellers”), (iii) the Piggyback Sellers and (iv) any other proposed sellers of equity securities of the Company (such Persons being “Other Proposed Sellers”), as the case may be, would adversely affect the marketability of the equity securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Piggyback Registration only such equity securities as the Company is so advised by such underwriter can be sold without such an effect, as follows and in the following order of priority:

(i) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of equity securities to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its reasonable judgment and acting in good faith and in accordance with sound financial practice, shall have determined, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, securities sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers (if any), pro rata on the basis of the number of Common Shares held by such Piggyback Sellers and (C) third, other equity securities held by any Other Proposed Sellers; or

(ii) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of equity securities sought to be registered by each Other Demanding Seller, the Piggyback Sellers (if any), pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to be registered by all such Other Demanding Sellers, Piggyback Sellers and (B) second, other equity securities held by any Other Proposed Sellers or to be sold by the Company as determined by the Company.

(c) In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 5.2 for the Company’s account, the Company shall not be required to include a holder’s Registrable

- 18 -

Securities in the Underwritten Offering unless such holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company; provided, that any such underwriting agreement includes only customary terms and conditions.

(d) If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any of its equity securities as set forth in this Section 5.2 and prior to the time the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration is declared effective, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Piggyback Shareholder and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith as provided herein); provided, that Shareholders may continue the registration as a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1.

Section 5.3 Withdrawal Rights. Any Shareholder having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such effect to the Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement. Other than as provided in Section 5.6, no such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn; provided, however, that in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable give each holder of Registrable Securities sought to be registered notice to such effect and, within ten (10) days following the mailing of such notice, such holder of Registrable Securities still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional Registrable Securities, when taken together with elections to register Registrable Securities by its Affiliates, to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn. During such ten (10) day period, the Company shall not file such registration statement if not theretofore filed or, if such registration statement has been theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof. Any registration statement withdrawn or not filed (a) in accordance with an election by the Company, (b) in accordance with an election by the Requesting Shareholders in the case of a Demand Registration, provided that the Requesting Shareholders agree to reimburse to the Company all out-of-pocket costs or expenses of the Company incurred in connection with such Demand Registration, or (c) in accordance with an election by the Company subsequent to the effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration statement because any post-effective amendment or supplement to the applicable Demand Registration statement contains information regarding the Company that the Company deems adverse to the Company, shall not be counted as a Demand.

Section 5.4 Holdback Agreements. Each Shareholder agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of

- 19 -

the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity securities, during any time period reasonably requested by the Company (which shall not exceed ninety (90) days) with respect to any Public Offering, Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration (in each case, except as part of such registration), or, in each case, a later date required by any underwriting agreement with respect thereto.

Section 5.5 Registration Procedures.

(iv) use reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities laws or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Selling Holder and any underwriter of the securities being sold by such Selling Holder shall reasonably request, and take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling

- 20 -

- 21 -

privilege, or violate a confidentiality obligation, that was applicable to such information or (ii) if either (A) the Company has requested and been granted from the Commission confidential treatment of such information contained in any filing with the Commission or documents provided supplementally or otherwise or (B) the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing unless prior to furnishing any such information with respect to (i) or (ii) such holder of Registrable Securities requesting such information agrees, and causes each of its Inspectors, to enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company; and provided, further, that each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

The Company may require each Selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, to furnish the Company in writing such information regarding each Selling Holder or underwriter and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request to complete or amend the information required by such registration statement.

(b) Without limiting any of the foregoing, in the event that the offering of Registrable Securities is to be made by or through an underwriter, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with a managing underwriter or underwriters containing representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements customarily included (but not inconsistent with the covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein) by an issuer of common shares in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary offerings of common shares for the account of, or on behalf of, selling shareholders.

Section 5.7 Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder, its officers, directors, employees, managers, partners and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling Holder or such other indemnified Person from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, the “Losses”) caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein or by such

- 24 -

Selling Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of a current prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (which does not contain any such material misstatements or omissions) after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an Underwritten Offering and without limiting any of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall also indemnify such underwriters, their officers, directors, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriters or such other indemnified Person to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification (and exceptions thereto) of the holders of Registrable Securities being sold. Reimbursements payable pursuant to the indemnification contemplated by this Section 5.7(a) will be made by periodic payments during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.

(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Selling Holder will furnish to the Company in writing information regarding such Selling Holder’s ownership of Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution thereof and, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor and each Shareholder shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or such other indemnified Person against all Losses caused by any untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is caused by and contained in such information so furnished in writing by any Selling Holder expressly for use therein.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.

(d) In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or (ii) the indemnifying

- 25 -

party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or is reasonably likely to be prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining separate legal counsel). An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent. The indemnifying party shall lose its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled in accordance with the next following sentence). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it being understood that the indemnified party shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its consent if the proposed settlement imposes any obligation on the indemnified party other than the payment of money).

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified Person and will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective Persons are entitled, there shall be considered the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. 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 found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder or transferee thereof shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net amount received by such holder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

(g) Prior to the expected filing date of each registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall notify each Shareholder who has timely provided the requisite notice hereunder entitling the Shareholder to register Registrable Securities in such registration statement of the information, documents and instruments from such Shareholder that the Company or any underwriter reasonably requests in connection with such registration statement, including, but not limited to a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter and underwriting agreement (the “Requested Information”). If the Company has not received, on or before the second day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such Shareholder, the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such Shareholder. The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of a Shareholder (with regard to that registration statement) shall not in and of itself result in any liability on the part of the Company to such Shareholder.
