This Common Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of November 29, 2017, between VICI Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and each purchaser, or the investment advisor or manager for one or more purchasers, identified on Schedule 1 hereto (as amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof) (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in Section 6.1.

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company is entering into an agreement to acquire certain real property and buildings and other improvements commonly known as Xxxxxx’x Las Vegas Hotel & Casino (the “Acquisition Agreement”, and, together with related agreements and transactions, the “Acquisition”), and will use the proceeds from the sale of shares of its Common Stock hereunder to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition.

WHEREAS, the Company and each Purchaser are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Rule 506(c) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”), as promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act, or another applicable exemption.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company desires to issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, desires to purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock as more fully described in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each Purchaser agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and contemporaneously with, and subject to the concurrent closing of the Acquisition, the Company agrees to sell, and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase, the number of Shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule 1 hereto, for the purchase price per share and the aggregate purchase price set forth on such Schedule, as such Schedule may be updated prior to Closing in accordance with Section 1.5.

1.2 Delivery of Subscription Amounts into Escrow. Subject to Section 3.7, at least four (4) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, each Purchaser shall deliver to the applicable escrow agent, via wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. Each Purchaser’s Subscription Amount will be released by the applicable escrow agent to the Company or its designee pursuant to such direction to be agreed upon by the parties hereto and thereto and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and, in all cases, only upon the satisfaction (or waiver) of each condition set forth in Article IV hereof.

1.3 Closing. The Closing will occur on the date (the “Closing Date”) that is concurrent with the closing date of the Acquisition. On the Closing Date, the applicable escrow agent (or the respective Purchaser, as applicable) shall deliver to the Company or its designee, via wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Subscription Amounts as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, and the Company shall, substantially simultaneously, deliver to each Purchaser, among other things, its respective Shares. The Closing shall occur at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, or such other location as the parties may mutually agree.

1.4 Delivery of Shares. Delivery to each Purchaser of the Shares acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement will be made by the Company to the account of such Purchaser, at the Closing. The Shares will be issued and held in book-entry form with the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and registered in the name of the Purchasers, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Transfer Agent shall issue a Direct Registration System (DRS) statement evidencing that the Shares have been issued and are held in book-entry form.

1.5 Update to Schedule 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the consent of any Purchaser reflected on Schedule 1 on the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Committing Purchasers”), for a period of seven (7) Business Days following the date of this Agreement (the “Update Period”), amend Schedule 1 to reflect additional Purchasers accepted by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion (“New Committing Purchasers”); provided that the total Subscription Amounts of all Purchasers shall not exceed $1,000,000,000.00; provided further that the Subscription Amount for each Initial Committing Purchaser shall not exceed or be less than each such Initial Committing Purchaser’s initial Subscription Amount without obtaining such Initial Committing Purchaser’s written consent. In addition, if the Company is able to sell all of the Shares at a price per Share that is at least $0.50 greater than the price per Share set forth on Schedule 1 on the date of this Agreement prior to the end of the Update Period, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend Schedule 1 to this Agreement to reflect such new price per Share and such New Committing Purchasers that will purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares at such higher price; provided, that in such event, each Initial Committing Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to purchase up to 50% of its initial allocation of Shares at such higher price; provided further that if any Initial Committing Purchaser does not so elect by the date that is one (1) Business Day after the end of the Update Period, each such Initial Committing Purchaser’s initial allocation of Shares shall be reduced to 0%. At 5:00 p.m. on the date that is the last day of the Update Period, the Company shall, if applicable, update Schedule 1 to reflect the foregoing and such New Committing Purchasers shall deliver their signature pages and become parties to this Agreement. Furthermore, if any Purchaser (the “Defaulting Purchaser”) fails to fund its Subscription Amount when due under this Agreement (the “Closing Date Funding Date”) or the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Funding Date”), as applicable (the “Available Amount”), then the Company shall promptly notify the Initial Committing Purchasers (other than the Defaulting Purchaser, if the Defaulting Purchaser is an Initial Committing Purchaser) and each of the Initial Committing Purchasers (other than the Defaulting Purchaser, if the Defaulting Purchaser is an Initial Committing Purchaser) shall have the right to acquire its pro rata share of the Available Amount within (x) two hours after notice of such right with respect to a Closing Date Funding Date or (y) one (1) Business Day after notice of such right with respect to an Escrow Funding Date; and with respect to any portion of the Available Amount that is not acquired by such Initial Committing Purchasers, the Company may allocate such portion to one or more Purchasers in its sole discretion (and the Company may amend Schedule 1 to reflect the foregoing as applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, no Initial Committing Purchaser’s initial Subscription Amount shall be increased without obtaining any such Initial Committing Purchaser’s written consent.

1.6 Put Option Premium. On the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the Termination Date, as defined below, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to each of the Initial Committing Purchasers (or its respective designees) cash in an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares set forth opposite each Initial Committing Purchasers name on Schedule 1 hereto as of the date hereof and prior to any amendment thereto and (y) $18.50 (the “Put Option Premium”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified in writing by such Initial Committing Purchaser to the Company prior to the Closing Date or on the Termination Date, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, no Initial Committing Purchaser shall be entitled to receive its respective Put Option Premium if it is required to fund its initial Subscription Amount pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date, as applicable, but fails to so fund. The Parties shall treat the provisions of this Agreement as put options with respect to the Shares and the Put Option Premiums as premium payments with respect to such put options for all U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Company shall not be entitled to withhold any amount, or permit any amount to be withheld, with respect to the payment of the Put Option Premiums under any provision of the Code.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Shares.

The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Purchasers a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

(x) REIT Status. The Company operates in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a “real estate investment trust” under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code; and the method of operation for the Company and its subsidiaries as described in the SEC Reports will enable the Company to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.

2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (except for those representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which are made as of such date):

Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

(c) Purchaser Status; Investment Experience. Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Shares. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Such Purchaser is an existing investor in the Company, can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares including the risk of loss of the entire investment. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, such Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits and risks of its decision to enter into this Agreement and disclaims reliance on any other such representations or warranties, either expressed or implied, by or on behalf of the Company. Such Purchaser has completed and executed an Accredited Investor Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in significant part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

(e) Disqualifying Events. Such Purchaser is not subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under Regulation D of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3).

(f) Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and the risk factors set forth therein. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares, including the Acquisition and the Transactions, which have been requested by the Purchaser. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Purchaser understands that its investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares.

(g) No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.

(h) Validity; Enforcement; No Conflicts. This Agreement and each Transaction Document to which such Purchaser is a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Purchaser and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is a party and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws) applicable to such Purchaser, except in the case of clause (ii) above, for such conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.

(i) Transfer Restrictions; Legends. The Purchaser understands that (i) the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances; (ii) the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Company’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by the Purchasers in this Agreement, and that the Shares must be held by the Purchaser indefinitely, and that the Purchaser must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) in addition to any other applicable legends (including without limitation a statement that the Company will furnish a full statement about certain restrictions on ownership and transferability to a holder of Company Common Stock on request therefrom and without charge thereto), the Shares will be subject to the following legend until the earlier of (1) such date as the Shares have been registered for resale by the Purchaser or (2) the date the Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

and (iv) upon the request of a holder of Shares or its permitted assigns (the “Requesting Party”), the Company, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove the legend described above or instruct the Transfer Agent to so remove such legend) from the certificates evidencing Shares or book-entry account maintained by the Transfer Agent if the circumstances in sub-clauses (1) or (2) in the foregoing clause (iii) occur and, in connection with a request to remove the legend from Shares, the Requesting Party or its broker shall deliver to the Transfer Agent and Company a customary broker representation letter certifying to the Transfer Agent and Company that the Requesting Party is not an Affiliate (as defined under the Securities Act) of Company and the length of time such Shares have been held by the Requesting Party.

(j) No Limitation. Such Purchaser is not subject to or bound by any agreement, order of court or similar legal restriction which would prevent or materially restrict Purchaser’s performance hereunder.

(k) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing on the date at which such Purchaser and the Company entered into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement related to the transactions contemplated hereunder (a "Confidentiality Agreement"') and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.

If the Company is not a WKSI or is not otherwise eligible to add additional selling stockholders by means of a prospectus supplement, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file more than one (1) post-effective amendment or additional Shelf-Registration Statements in any fiscal quarter for all Holders pursuant to this Section 2(a)(iii); provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply if the Registrable Securities to be added represent beneficial ownership of more than $10 million of the Company Common Stock (as determined in good faith by the Company to the extent the Company Common Stock is not then listed on a national exchange). If the Company is a WKSI or is otherwise eligible to add additional selling stockholders by means of a prospectus supplement, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file more than two (2) prospectus supplements for all Holders pursuant to this Section 2(a)(iii) in any fiscal quarter; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply if the Registrable Securities to be added represent beneficial ownership of more than $10 million of the Company Common Stock (as determined in good faith by the Company to the extent the Company Common Stock is not the listed on a national exchange).

(iv) Underwritten Shelf Takedown. At any time during the Shelf Period (subject to any Suspension Period), any one or more Holders of Registrable Securities (such Holder, a “Shelf Public Offering Requesting Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten Public Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, that, and subject to Section 2(a)(v) below, the Company shall not be obligated to effect (x) an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any Registrable Securities other than Company Common Stock; (y) more than four (4) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns (together with any Demand Registrations) in aggregate; or (z) any Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter(s) therefor, is less than $100 million as of the date of the Company receives a Shelf Takedown Request.

- 9 -

(v) Notice of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Request”). Each Shelf Takedown Request shall specify the approximate number of shares of Company Common Stock to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2(e) below, after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”) of such requested Underwritten Shelf Takedown (which notice shall state the material terms of such proposed Underwritten Shelf Takedown, to the extent known) to all other Holders of Registrable Securities that have Registrable Securities registered for sale under a Shelf Registration Statement and that have requested to receive such notices (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). Such notice shall be given not more than ten (10) Business Days and not less than five (5) Business Days, in each case prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2(c)(ii), the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown all Shelf Registrable Securities that are Company Common Stock with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within (x) in the case of a “bought deal” or “overnight transaction” (a “Bought Deal”), two (2) Business Days; (y) in the case any other Underwritten Shelf Takedown, five (5) Business Days, in each case after the giving of the Shelf Takedown Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to provide a Shelf Takedown Notice with respect to a Public Offering utilizing a Shelf Registration Statement other than an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and Holders shall not have rights to participate therein under this Section 2(a)(v).

(vi) Priority of Registrable Shares. If the managing underwriters for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown advise the Company and the Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown that in their reasonable view the number of Shelf Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown exceeds the number of Shelf Registrable Securities which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Maximum Offering Size”), then the Company shall promptly give written notice to all Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown of such Maximum Offering Size, and shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown the number of Shelf Registrable Securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (A) first, the Shelf Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Holders of such Shelf Registrable Securities, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Shelf Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder, (B) second, any securities proposed to be offered by the Company, and (C) Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown to the extent permitted hereunder, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among the respective holders of such Other Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included therein by each such holder.

- 10 -

(vii) Restrictions on Timing of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. The Company shall not be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown (A) within ninety (90) days (or such longer period specified in any applicable lock-up agreement entered into with underwriters) after the consummation of a previous Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Demand Registration or consummation of a Company-initiated Public Offering or (B) within sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of a Company-initiated registration statement.

(viii) Selection of Bankers and Counsel. The Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities requested to be included in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to: (A) select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering (which shall consist of one (1) or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks, subject to the Company’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) and one (1) firm of legal counsel to represent all of the Holders (along with one local counsel, to the extent reasonably necessary, for any applicable jurisdiction), in connection with such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and (B) determine the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for the Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that the Company shall select such investment banker(s), manager(s) and counsel (including local counsel) if the Holders of such Majority of Included Registrable Securities cannot so agree on the same within a reasonable time period.

(ix) Withdrawal from Registration. Any Holder whose Registrable Securities were to be included in any such registration pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) may elect to withdraw any or all of its Registrable Securities therefrom, without liability to any of the other Holders and without prejudice to the rights of any such Holder or Holders to include Registrable Securities in any future registration (or registrations), by written notice to the Company delivered prior to the effective date of the relevant Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

(x) WKSI Filing. Upon the Company first becoming a WKSI, if requested by a Qualified Holder with securities registered on an existing Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will convert such existing Shelf Registration Statement to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement.

(b) Demand Registration.

(i) If the Company (i) is in violation of its obligation to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or (ii) following the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2(a), thereafter ceases to have an effective Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period (other than during any Suspension Period), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2(b)(iii)), upon written notice to the Company (a “Demand Request”) delivered by a Qualified Holder requesting that the Company effect the registration (a “Demand Registration”) under the Securities Act of any or all of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Qualified Holder(s), the Company shall give a notice of the receipt of such Demand Request (a “Demand Notice”) to all other Holders of Registrable Securities

- 11 -

that have requested to receive such notices (which notice shall state the material terms of such proposed Demand Registration, to the extent known). Such Demand Notice shall be given not more than ten (10) Business Days and not less than five (5) Business Days, in each case prior to the expected date of the public filing of the registration statement (the “Demand Registration Statement”) for such Demand Registration. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(a)(iv) and Section 2(e) below, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration all Registrable Securities that are Company Common Stock with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the later of the Company (i) the giving the Demand Notice and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the actual public filing of the Demand Registration Statement. Nothing in this Section 2(b) shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 2(a).

(ii) Demand Registration Using Form S-3. The Company shall effect any requested Demand Registration using a Registration Statement on Form S-3 whenever the Company is a Seasoned Issuer or a WKSI, and shall use an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if it is a WKSI.

(iii) Limitations on Demand Registration. The Company shall not be required to effect more than four (4) Underwritten Demands (together with any Underwritten Shelf Takedowns) in aggregate. The Company shall not be required to effect an Underwritten Demand if the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Underwritten Demand, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter(s) therefor, is less than $100 million as of the date the Company receives a written request for an Underwritten Demand. The Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration (A) within ninety (90) days (or such longer period specified in any applicable lock-up agreement entered into with underwriters) after the consummation of a previous Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Company-initiated Public Offering or (B) within sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of a Company-initiated registration statement.

(iv) Effectiveness of Demand Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Demand Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission and keep the Demand Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act for the period of time necessary for the underwriters or Holders to sell all the Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto (including, if necessary, by filing with the Commission a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the Demand Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or by filing any other required document or otherwise supplementing or amending the Demand Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Demand Registration Statement or by the Securities Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws, or any other rules and regulations thereunder) (the “Effectiveness Period”). A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have occurred (A) if the Registration Statement is withdrawn without becoming effective, (B) if the Registration Statement does not remain effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and the laws of any state or other jurisdiction

- 12 -

applicable to the disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement for the Effectiveness Period, (C) if, after it has become effective, such Registration Statement is subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental or regulatory agency or court for any reason other than a violation of applicable law solely by any selling Holder and has not thereafter become effective, (D) in the event of an Underwritten Demand, if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of some act or omission by a Qualified Holder, or (E) if the number of Registrable Securities included on the applicable Registration Statement is reduced in accordance with Section 2(b)(v) such that less than 66 2/3% of the Registrable Securities of the Holders of Registrable Securities who sought to be included in such registration are so included in such Registration Statement.

- 13 -

(v) Priority of Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(b), if (A) a Demand Registration is an Underwritten Demand and (B) the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable view, the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such offering (including Registrable Securities requested by Holders to be included in such Public Offering and any securities that the Company or any other Person proposes to be included that are Other Registrable Securities) exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, then the Company shall so advise the Holders with Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Demand, and shall include in such offering the number of Registrable Securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (I) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Demand by the Holders, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among the Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder, (II) second, any securities proposed to be registered by the Company, and (III) third, Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten Public Offering to the extent permitted hereunder, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among the respective holders of such Other Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included therein by each such holder.

(vi) Underwritten Demand. The determination of whether any Public Offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration will be an Underwritten Demand shall be made in the sole discretion of the Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration, and such Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Demand shall have the right to (A) determine the plan of distribution, the price at which the Registrable Securities are to be sold and the underwriting commissions, discounts and fees and other financial terms, and (B) select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering (which shall consist of one (1) or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks, subject to the Company’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) and one (1) firm of legal counsel to represent all of the Holders (along with one local counsel, to the extent reasonably necessary, for any applicable jurisdiction), in connection with such Demand Registration; provided that the Company shall select such investment banker(s), manager(s) and counsel (including local counsel) if the Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities cannot so agree on the same within a reasonable time period.

(vii) Withdrawal of Registrable Securities. Any Holder whose Registrable Securities were to be included in any such registration pursuant to Section 2(b) may elect to withdraw any or all of its Registrable Securities therefrom, without liability to any of the other Holders and without prejudice to the rights of any such Holder to include Registrable Securities in any future registration (or registrations), by written notice to the Company delivered on or prior to the effective date of the relevant Demand Registration Statement.

(i) Registration Statement on behalf of the Company. If at any time the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement or conduct an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, other than a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2(b), in

- 14 -

connection with an underwritten Public Offering of Capital Stock (other than registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4) (a “Piggyback Offering”), and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall give prompt written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) to all Holders that have requested to receive such notices (collectively, the “Piggyback Eligible Holders”) of the Company’s intention to conduct such underwritten Public Offering; provided that, in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Takedown from an existing effective shelf registration statement, the Company shall not be required to provide a Piggyback Notice or include any Registrable Securities in such Public Offering unless either (i) such registration statement with respect to which the Company is conducting an Underwritten Shelf Takedown may be used for the registration and offering of Registrable Securities without the need to file a post-effective amendment thereto, (ii) the Company is a WKSI eligible to file an automatically effective registration statement or automatically effective post-effective amendment or (iii) if the Company is not a WKSI, the need to file any such post-effective amendment or new registration statement would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the timing of the Company’s primary offering, in the good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Piggyback Notice shall be given, (i) in the case of a Piggyback Offering that is an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, not earlier than ten (10) Business Days and not less than five (5) Business Days, in each case under this clause (i), prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; or (ii) in the case of any other Piggyback Registration, not less than five (5) Business Days after the public filing of such Registration Statement. The Piggyback Notice shall offer the Piggyback Eligible Holders the opportunity to include for registration in such Piggyback Offering the number of Registrable Securities of the same class and series as those proposed to be registered as they may request, subject to Section 2(c)(ii) (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2(c)(ii), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Offering such Registrable Securities constituting Common Stock for which the Company has received written requests (each, a “Piggyback Request”) for inclusion therein from Piggyback Eligible Holders within (x) in the case of a Bought Deal, two (2) Business Days; (y) in the case any other Underwritten Shelf Takedown, three (3) Business Days; or (z) otherwise, five (5) Business Days, in each case after the date of the Company’s notice; provided that the Company may not commence marketing efforts for such Public Offering until such periods have elapsed and the inclusion of all such securities so requested, subject to Section 2(c)(ii). If a Piggyback Eligible Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Offering thereafter filed by the Company, such Piggyback Eligible Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Piggyback Offerings or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of Registrable Securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register pursuant to the Piggyback Requests, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered.

(ii) Priority of Registration. If the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such Piggyback Offering advise the Company and the Piggyback Eligible Holders that, in their reasonable view the amount of securities requested to be included in such registration (including Registrable Securities requested by the Piggyback Eligible Holders to be included in such offering and any securities that the Company or any other Person proposes to be included that

- 15 -

are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the Maximum Offering Size (which, for the purposes of a Piggyback Registration relating to a primary offering of the Company’s Capital Stock, shall be within a price range acceptable to the Company), then the Company shall so advise all Piggyback Eligible Holders with Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Piggyback Registration, and shall include in such offering the number which can be so sold in the following order of priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (A) first, (x) if the Piggyback Registration includes a primary offering of the Company’s Capital Stock, such securities that the Company proposes to sell up to the Maximum Offering Size, or (y) if the Piggyback Registration is an offering at the demand of the holders of Other Registrable Securities, the securities that such holders propose to sell and thereafter any securities proposed to be offered by the Company, in each case up to the Maximum Offering Size, and (B) second, the Company Common Stock constituting Registrable Securities or Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by each Piggyback Eligible Holder and any holder of Other Registrable Securities with rights to participate in such offering, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata on the basis of the amount of Company Common Stock or other Capital Stock constituting Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested in aggregate to be included therein. All Piggyback Eligible Holders requesting to be included in the Piggyback Registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 2(c)(iv) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company.

(iii) Withdrawal from Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2(c), whether or not any Piggyback Eligible Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Holders to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 2(b) to the extent permitted thereunder and subject to the terms set forth therein. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 5 hereof. Any Holder that has elected to include Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Offering may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities at any time prior to the Business Day prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement entered into in connection therewith.

(iv) Selection of Bankers and Counsel. If a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) involves an underwritten Public Offering, the Company shall have the right to (A) determine the plan of distribution, including the price at which the Registrable Securities are to be sold and the underwriting commissions, discounts and fees and (B) select the investment banker or bankers and managers to administer the Public Offering, including the lead managing underwriter or underwriters, each of which shall be a nationally recognized investment bank. Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities included in such underwritten Public Offering shall have the right to select one (1) firm of legal counsel to represent all of the Holders (along with one local counsel, to the extent reasonably necessary, for any applicable jurisdiction), in connection with such Piggyback Registration; provided, that the Company shall select such counsel (including local counsel) if the Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities cannot so agree on the same within a reasonable time period.

- 16 -

(v) Effect of Piggyback Registration. No registration effected under this Section 2(c) shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect any registration of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities under Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof, and no registration effected pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof.

(d) Notice Requirements. Any Demand Request, Piggyback Request or Shelf Takedown Request shall (i) specify the maximum number or class or series of Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Holder making the request, (ii) express such Holder’s bona fide intent to offer up to such maximum number of Registrable Securities for distribution, (iii) describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale of Registrable Securities (to the extent applicable), and (iv) contain the undertaking of such Holder to provide all such information and materials and take all action as may reasonably be required in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements in connection with the registration of such Registrable Securities.

(e) Suspension Period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to defer the filing of (but not the preparation of), or suspend the use by the Holders of, any Demand Registration or Shelf Registration (whether prior to or after receipt by the Company of a Shelf Takedown Request or Demand Request) (i) if the Company reasonably believes (with the advice of competent counsel expert in such matters) that any such registration or offering would require the Company, under applicable securities laws and other laws, to make disclosure of material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and the Company believes in good faith that such disclosures at that time would not be in the Company’s best interests; provided that the exception in clause (i) shall continue to apply only during the time in which such material nonpublic information has not been disclosed and remains material; and (ii) if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its external advisors or legal counsel, that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries 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 or any of its subsidiaries; provided that, the period of any delay or suspension under exceptions (i) and (ii) shall not exceed a period of sixty (60) days and any such delays or extensions shall not in aggregate exceed ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period (any such period, a “Suspension Period”, and any event triggering any such delay or suspension, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that in such event, the Qualified Holders will be entitled to withdraw any request for a Demand Registration and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration will not count as a Demand Registration and the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration, regardless of whether such registration is effected. The Company shall give written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities registered under or pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement or any Demand Registration with respect to its declaration of a Suspension Period and of the expiration of the relevant Suspension Period (a “Suspension Notice”). If the filing of any Demand Registration is suspended or an Underwritten Shelf Takedown is delayed pursuant to this Section 2(e), once the Suspension Period ends, the Qualified Holders may request a new Demand

- 17 -

Registration or a new Underwritten Shelf Takedown (and such request shall not be counted as an additional Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Demand Registration for purposes of either Section 2(a)(iv) or Section 2(b)(i)). The Company shall not include any material non-public information in the Suspension Notice and or otherwise provide such information to a Holder unless specifically requested by a Holder in writing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement following further written notice from the Company 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 with Registrable Securities included on any suspended Registration Statement and Counsel to the Holders, if any, promptly (but in no event later than two Business Days) following the conclusion of any Suspension Event. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company gives a Suspension Notice with respect to any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(e), the Company agrees that it shall (i) extend the period which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice; and (ii) provide copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, if requested by any Holder; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.

(f) Required Information. The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration Statement is being filed or sale is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder and its ownership of Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing (provided that such information shall be used only in connection with such registration), and the Company may exclude from such registration or sale the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request or who does not consent to the inclusion in a Registration Statement or Prospectus related to such registration or sale of such information related to such Holder that is required by the rules and regulations of the Commission. Each Holder agrees to furnish such information to the Company and to cooperate with the Company as reasonably necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

(g) Other Registration Rights Agreements. The Company represents and warrants to each Holder that, as of the date of this Agreement, it has not entered into any agreement with respect to any of its securities granting any registration rights to any Person with respect to the Registrable Securities. The Company will not enter into on or after the date of this Agreement, unless this Agreement is modified or waived as provided in Section 10(c), any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders with respect to Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof in any material respect. Other than as set forth in this Agreement, if the Company enters into any agreement that would allow any holder of Company Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company to include such Capital Stock in any Registration Statement of the Company on a basis more favorable than the rights of the Holders under this Agreement (as determined in good faith by the Company), this Agreement shall

- 18 -

be automatically amended to provide for such more favorable terms and, to the extent the Company enters into any agreement that would allow any holder of Company Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company to include such Capital Stock in any Registration Statement or Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2(a) or 2(b) of this Agreement, such other agreement shall similarly provide for the Holders to have reciprocal rights with respect to any demand registrations or underwritten offerings thereunder.

(h) Cessation of Registration Rights. All registration rights granted under this Section 2 shall continue to be applicable with respect to any Holder until such time as the Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities.

(i) Confidentiality. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of a Demand Notice, Shelf Takedown Notice or Piggyback Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in any such 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; provided that no Holder will be entitled to receive any such notices (and shall not be eligible to participate in any offering related thereto, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement) unless a Holder has provided written notice to the Company in the manner specified in Section 10 requesting to receive such notices.

3.[Reserved]

4.Registration Procedures. The procedures to be followed by the Company and each participating Holder to register the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement in accordance with this Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the Company and such Holders with respect to the preparation, filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement, are as follows:

(a) The Company will (i) prepare and file a Registration Statement or a prospectus supplement, as applicable, with the Commission (within the time period specified in Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), as applicable, in the case of a Shelf Registration, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or a Demand Registration) which Registration Statement (A) shall be on a form selected by the Company for which the Company qualifies, (B) shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution, and (C) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include and/or incorporate by reference all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for the periods provided under Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), as applicable, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration Statement. The Company will furnish to any Qualified Holder named as a selling stockholder therein, any counsel designated by such Qualified Holder, counsel for the Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities (selected as provided herein) and the managing underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, if applicable, copies of all correspondence from the Commission received in connection with such Public Offering, subject in the case of any Qualified Holder to such Holder entering into a confidentiality agreement with respect thereto if requested

- 19 -

Following receipt of notice of any event contemplated by clauses 4(d)(ii)-(iv), a Holder shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement and shall not resume sales until such time as it has received written notice from the Company to such effect. The Company shall provide any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, if requested by any Holder.

In connection with any underwritten Public Offering expected to result in gross proceeds of at least $50.0 million, if requested by (i) the managing underwriters of such Public Offering and (ii) the Company, in the case of a Company-initiated Public Offering, or the Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities, in the case of any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Underwritten Demand pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b), each Holder of Holdback Registrable Securities participating in such Public Offering and, if requested by the managing underwriters of such Public Offering, each Holder of Holdback Registrable Securities shall enter into a lock-up agreement with the managing underwriters of such Public Offering to not make any sale or other disposition of any of the Holdback Registrable Securities owned by such Holder (a “Lock-Up Agreement”); provided that all executive officers and directors of the Company and the Holders requesting such Lock-Up Agreements are bound by and have entered into substantially similar Lock-Up Agreements; provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall only be applicable to the Holders if all stockholders, officers and directors are treated similarly with respect to any release prior to the termination of the lock-up period such that if any such persons are released, then all Holders shall also be released to the same extent on a pro rata basis. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Capital Stock (or other securities) subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(a) until the end of the applicable period of the Lock-Up Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall cease to apply to such Holder once such Holder no longer beneficially owns any Holdback Registrable Securities.

(b) Lock-Up Agreements. The Lock-Up Agreement shall provide for the following unless the underwriters managing such underwritten Public Offering otherwise agree in writing:

(i) in connection with an initial underwritten Public Offering of the Company involving the offer and sale of Company Common Stock by the Company prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement, such holder shall not (A) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any Holdback Registrable Securities of the Company (including Holdback Registrable Securities of the Company that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission) (collectively, “Securities”), (B) enter into a transaction with respect to the Securities which would have the same effect as described in clause (A) above, (C) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (A), (B) and (C) above, a “Sale Transaction”), or (D) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, commencing on the date requested by the managing underwriters (which shall be no earlier than seven (7) days prior to the anticipated “pricing” date for such Public Offering) and continuing to the date that is 180 days following the “pricing” date for such initial Public Offering (the “Holdback Period”).

(ii) in connection with all other underwritten Public Offerings of the Company prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement, such holder shall not effect any Sale Transaction commencing on the date requested by the managing underwriters (which

- 27 -

shall be no earlier than seven (7) days prior to the anticipated “pricing” date for such Public Offering) and continuing to the date that is 90 days following the “pricing” date for such Public Offering (a "Follow-On Holdback Period”).

(iii) For the purpose of the lock-up provisions of this Section 6, any Company Common Stock that is (x) issued in the Transaction, and (y) held by a Holder during the period ending one-year after the date of this Agreement, shall be subject to the lock-up provisions of this Section 6 regardless of whether such Company Common Stock no longer constitutes “Registrable Securities”; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Company Common Stock sold to a non-affiliated third party transferee, either in a public resale under Rule 144 or pursuant to a registered offering, shall not be subject to the lock-up requirements of this Section 6.

8.Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, stockholders, equityholders, general partners, limited partners, managers, members, and Affiliates and each of their respective officers and directors and any Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and any agent, employee, attorney or Representative thereof (collectively, “Holder Indemnified Persons”), and any underwriter that facilitates the sale of the Registrable Securities and any Person who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees, whether or not the Indemnified Person is a party to any Proceeding) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all Proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of, based upon, resulting from or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which any Registrable Securities were registered, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show, as defined in Rule 433(h)(4) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), or in any summary or final prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any documents incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary, in the case of any Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which

- 28 -

they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation relating to action or inaction in connection with any Company provided information in such registration, disclosure document or related document or report, and the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such Proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any such Losses arise out of, are based upon or results from an untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, such preliminary, summary or final prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof in which a Holder has registered for sale its Registrable Securities, each such selling Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, Affiliates, employees, members, managers, agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (together with Holder Indemnified Persons, collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein, or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary, in the case of any Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such selling Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion therein and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to the sale of the Registrable Securities. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after deducting underwriters’ discounts, fees and commissions) received by such Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation less any amounts paid (including such Holder’s share of any other Selling Expenses) by such Holder in connection with such sale and any amounts paid by such Holder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale.

(c) Any Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification under this Section 8 (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the Person obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Person with respect to such claim (the “indemnifying party”) shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure). The indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that any Indemnified Person shall have the right to select and employ its own counsel (and one local

- 29 -

counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (A) the Indemnified Person has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (B) in the reasonable judgment of any such Indemnified Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims; (C) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; (D) the indemnifying party shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; or (E) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Person and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 8(c) to any Indemnified Person regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No action may be settled without the consent of the Indemnified Person, provided that the consent of the Indemnified Person shall not be required if (A) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such settlement, (B) such settlement provides for the payment by the indemnifying party of money as the sole relief for such action, and (C) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 8(c), in connection with any Proceeding or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) above is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person for any reason, then the indemnifying party under Section 8(a) or 8(b), as applicable, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, agrees to contribute to the aggregate Losses (including reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees, whether or not the Indemnified Person is a party to any Proceeding) to which such indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the Indemnified Person on the other from the Public Offering of the Company Common Stock; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited in the case of any Holder to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriters’ discounts, fees and commissions and other Selling Expenses) received by such Holder in connection with such registration. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying

- 30 -

party on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the Indemnified Person on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders of Registrable Securities or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the Losses referred to above in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(d), no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(g) For purposes of Section 8(d), each Person who controls any Holder, agent or underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and each director, officer, employee and agent of any such Holder, agent or underwriter, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, agent or underwriter, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 8(d).

(h) The provisions of this Section 8 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in this Section 8 hereof, and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

(i) The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

9.[Reserved]

10.Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific

- 31 -

performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and shall waive any requirement for the posting of a bond.

(b) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of Section 4(d) or the occurrence of a Suspension Period, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemental Prospectus or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 10(b). In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the period during which the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

(c) Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only with (i) the consent of the Company and (ii) the affirmative vote of Holders of a Majority of Registrable Securities; provided that in no event shall the obligations of any Holder of Registrable Securities be increased or the rights of any Holder be adversely affected (without similarly increasing or adversely affecting the rights of all Holders), except with the written consent of such Holder; and provided further, any provision that is for the express benefit of only Qualified Holders shall be amended only with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Qualified Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities may be given by holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(d) Waivers. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

(e) Termination and Effect of Termination. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to each Holder when such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities and will

- 32 -

terminate in full when no Holder holds any Registrable Securities, except for the provisions of Section 8, which shall survive any such termination. No termination under this Agreement shall relieve any Person of liability for breach or Registration Expenses incurred prior to termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated, each Person entitled to indemnification rights pursuant to Section 8 shall retain such indemnification rights with respect to any matter that (i) may be an indemnified liability thereunder and (ii) occurred prior to such termination.

(f) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile (with confirmation of delivery) or electronic mail in PDF or similar electronic or digital format (with confirmation of receipt) prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a business day in the place of receipt, (ii) the business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile (with confirmation of delivery) or electronic mail in PDF or similar electronic or digital format (with confirmation of receipt) later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Party to whom such notice is required to be given.

- 33 -

such transfer or assignment is made in compliance with the Securities Act, any other applicable securities or “blue sky” laws, or rules or regulations promulgated by FINRA, and the terms and conditions of the certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of the Company; (ii) such transferee or assignee shall have delivered to the Company a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A agreeing to become subject to and bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no transferee or assignee of Capital Stock of the Company issued in the Transaction that has been sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Holder thereof pursuant to (x) a public resale under Rule 144 or (y) a registered offering, will be required to deliver a Joinder Agreement; and (iii) the Company is given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee, identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned and the total number of Registrable Securities and other Capital Stock of the Company beneficially owned by such transferee or assignee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not transfer or assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any party hereto is or becomes a party in any litigation in connection with which it may assert indemnification rights set forth in this Agreement, the court in which such litigation is being heard shall be deemed to be included in clause (i) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party to this Agreement may commence and maintain an action to enforce a judgment of any of the above-named courts in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby consents to service of process in any such Proceeding in any manner permitted by New York law, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 10(f) hereof is reasonably calculated to give actual notice.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Form of Plan of Distribution ¹

The selling stockholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees, or any of their successors in interest selling shares received from a named selling stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other permitted transfer after the date of the applicable prospectus (all of whom may be selling stockholders), may sell some or all of the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which our common stock is listed, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling stockholders may sell the securities by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:


•	block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;


•	purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;


•	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which our common stock is listed;


•	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;


•	privately negotiated transactions;


•	short sales, either directly or with a broker-dealer or affiliate thereof;


•	through the writing of options on the common stock, whether or not the options are listed on an options exchange;


•	through loans or pledges of the common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof;


•	by entering into transactions with third parties who may (or may cause others to) issue securities convertible or exchangeable into, or the return of which is derived in whole or in part from the value of, our common stock;


•	through the distribution by any selling stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders;


•	one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; and


•	any combination of any of these methods of sale.

¹The Plan of Distribution will be appropriately modified in the event than any securities other than common stock are offered for distribution in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

B-1

For example, the selling stockholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of our common stock. These brokers, dealers or underwriters may act as principals, or as an agent of a selling stockholder. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of shares of our common stock or preferred stock at a stipulated price per share. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell the common stock acting as agent for a selling stockholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold securities at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire common stock as principals may thereafter resell the common stock from time to time in transactions on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the common stock is then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above.

A selling stockholder may also enter into hedging and/or monetization transactions. For example, a selling stockholder may:


•	enter into transactions with a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer or other third party in connection with which that other party will become a selling stockholder and engage in short sales of our common stock under this prospectus, in which case the other party may use shares of our common stock received from the selling stockholder to close out any short position;


•	sell short our common stock under this prospectus and use shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholder to close out any short position;

•

enter into options, forwards or other transactions that require the selling stockholder to deliver, in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, shares of our common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer or other third party who may then become a selling stockholder and publicly resell or otherwise transfer shares of our common stock under this prospectus;

•

loan or pledge shares of our common stock to a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer or other third party who may then become a selling stockholder and sell the loaned shares or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, become a selling stockholder and sell the pledged shares, under this prospectus. As and when a selling stockholder takes such actions, the number of securities offered under this prospectus on behalf of such selling stockholder will decrease. The plan of distribution for that selling stockholder’s common stock will otherwise remain unchanged; or

•

enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the selling stockholder or borrowed from the selling stockholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock, and may use securities received from the selling stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any

B-2

related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions may be an underwriter and, if applicable, will be identified as such in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).

The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

We do not know of any arrangements by the selling stockholders for the sale of our common stock.

To the extent required under the Securities Act, the aggregate amount of selling stockholders’ common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of any agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents participating in the distribution of the common stock may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from a selling stockholder and/or purchasers of selling stockholders’ common stock for whom they may act (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them and any profit on the resale of the common stock sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

The selling stockholders and other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the common stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the common stock by the selling stockholders and any other person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of common stock in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular common stock being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this plan of distribution may be modified in a prospectus supplement or otherwise.

We agreed to register the common stock under the Securities Act and to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective for a specified period of time. We have also agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

B-3

We will not receive any proceeds from sales of any common stock by the selling stockholders.

We cannot assure you that the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion of the common stock offered hereby. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered hereby.

EXHIBIT C

Form of Notice and Holder Questionnaire

The undersigned beneficial holder of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which shares the undersigned believes are Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below)), understands that the Company intends to file or has filed with the Commission a registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on Form S-11 for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Registrable Securities, in accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company and the Holders named therein. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Each beneficial holder of Registrable Securities (each a “beneficial owner”) is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. In order to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Registrable Securities will be required to be named as a selling securityholder in the related prospectus, deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities (to the extent required by applicable law) and be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such beneficial owner (including certain indemnification provisions as described below). Beneficial owners that do not (i) complete this Notice and Questionnaire and (ii) execute a Joinder in the Form attached as Exhibit A of the Registration Rights Agreement (if required) and deliver both documents to the Company as provided below will not be named as selling securityholders in the prospectus and, therefore, will not be permitted to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

Further, the right of a beneficial owner to receive notices of and participate in underwritten offerings, exercise piggyback rights or include shares pursuant to the demand rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement is conditioned upon an affirmative election to receive such notices. A beneficial owner may provide such notice pursuant to this Notice and Questionnaire by making the elections in Question 6 or by providing written notice in the manner contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own securities legal counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

NOTICE

The undersigned beneficial owner (the “Selling Securityholder”) of Registrable Securities hereby gives notice to the Company of its intention to sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it and listed below in Item 3 (unless otherwise specified under

C-1

such Item 3) pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The undersigned, by signing and returning this Notice and Questionnaire, understands that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Notice and Questionnaire and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the undersigned has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, affiliates, employees, members, managers, agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), from and against certain losses arising in connection with statements or omissions concerning the undersigned that are made in, or omitted from, the Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus in reliance upon the information provided in this Notice and Questionnaire.
