If any such Shelf Registration Statement is an Underwritten Offering, the XX Xxxxxx shall be subject to the Underwriter’s Cutback provisions of Section 5.1(b).
DB1/ 124869655.12 16 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 5.2(a) continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by each XX Xxxxxx until the earlier of (a) the day any XX Xxxxxx no longer holds any Registrable Securities and (b) the three (3) year anniversary of the expiration of the last date of the Lock-Up Period. 5.3 Underwriter’s Lock-Up Period.

In connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 5, subject to the provisions of such Section 5: (a) Upon receipt of a Piggy-Back Notice for the exercise of Piggy-Back Registration Rights as set forth in Section 5.1(a) or the receipt of an MJ Shelf Registration Notice for the exercise of MJ Shelf Registration Rights as set forth in Section 5.2, the Company shall promptly register the applicable Registrable Securities of the applicable Major Holder in a Registration Statement and shall take such further actions as reasonably necessary to include the Major Holder in the applicable offering, subject to the underwriter’s cutback provisions set forth in Section 5.1(b), as applicable.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify each Major Holder, each Major Holder’s Affiliates and each underwriter of the Company’s securities covered by a Registration Statement, if any, and each Person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, including any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein and any amendments or supplements thereto incident to any such registration; (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities or blue sky laws or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with any such registration, and will reimburse each Major Holder, each Major Holder’s Affiliates, each such underwriter and each Person who controls any such underwriter, as applicable, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on (x) any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Major Holder or any Major Xxxxxx’s Affiliate or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use or (y) the failure of any Major Holder
DB1/ 124869655.12 21 or any agent acting on behalf of such Major Xxxxxx to timely deliver a prospectus, except those cases where such failure was a result of the act or failure to act by the Company; provided further that the Company shall in no instance be liable for consequential, punitive, exemplary, special or indirect damages or lost profits related to this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company at its sole discretion. (b) Indemnification by the Major Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Major Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, severally, but not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter of the Company’s securities covered by a Registration Statement, if any, and each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, including any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein and any amendments or supplements thereto, made by such Major Holder; or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements by such Major Xxxxxx therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such directors, officers, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission (or alleged untrue statement or omission) is made in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein and any amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Xxxxx Xxxxxx and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided however, that the obligations of each Major Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds that such Major Xxxxxx received by sale of securities as contemplated herein, except in the case of fraud or gross negligence by such Major Holder, and that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Major Holder at its sole discretion. (c) Indemnification Procedures. Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.7 (each, a “Securities Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the Person required to provide indemnification (the “Securities Indemnifying Party”) promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after such Securities Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Securities Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, that counsel for the Securities Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Securities Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) and the Securities Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Person’s expense (unless the Securities Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, and shall have informed the Securities Indemnifying Party of such conclusion, that there may be a conflict of interest between the Securities Indemnifying Party and the Securities Indemnified Party in such action, in which case the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the
DB1/ 124869655.12 22 expense of the Securities Indemnifying Party); provided, further, that the failure of any Securities Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Securities Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 5 unless the Securities Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby in its ability to defend such action. No Securities Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the written consent of each Securities Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement. Each Securities Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as a Securities Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. The Securities Indemnifying Party shall lose its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled without the consent of the Securities Indemnified Party). (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.7 is not available or insufficient, for any reason or reasons other than as specified herein, with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Securities Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Securities Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Securities Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Securities Indemnifying Party on the one hand, and of the Securities Indemnified Party on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Securities Indemnifying Party and of the Securities Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or allegedly untrue) statement of a material fact or the omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Securities Indemnifying Party or by the Securities Indemnified Party and the Persons’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 5.8 Compliance with Rule 144. The Company shall (a) at the request of any Major Holder (or any of its direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders) who proposes to sell Common Stock in compliance with Rule 144, cooperate, to the extent reasonable, with such Major Holder (or any of its direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders), including with respect to removal of any applicable restrictive legends at the time of the relevant sale and, if required, delivery of an opinion of counsel to the Company in connection with such removal; (b) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, in accordance with Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (c) timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it shall prepare and furnish to each Major Holder (or any of its direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders) and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144 such information as is required for such Major Holder (or any of its direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders) to sell Common Stock in compliance with Rule 144; (d) furnish to each Major Holder (or any of its direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders), so long as such Major Holder (or any of its direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders) owns
DB1/ 124869655.12 23 Common Stock, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to the Company’s compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144; and (e) use its reasonable best efforts to list such Major Holder’s (or any of its direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders) Common Stock on the principal securities exchange on which Common Stock is then listed. Section 6. Right of First Refusal. 6.1 Grant. Each XX Xxxxxx hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a right, but not an obligation, of the Company, or its permitted transferees or assigns, to purchase all or any portion of the Lock-Up Shares (the “Transfer Shares”) that such XX Xxxxxx proposes to Dispose of in (a) a Proposed MJ Disposition or (b) any series of planned Proposed MJ Dispositions through sales on the open market (such series, “Planned MJ Dispositions”), at the ROFR Price, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 (the “Right of First Refusal”). 6.2 Notice; Exercise. Any XX Xxxxxx proposing to make a Proposed MJ Disposition (or series of Planned MJ Dispositions) must deliver to the Company a written notice setting forth the terms and conditions of such Proposed MJ Disposition(s) (a “Proposed Disposition Notice”) not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed consummation of such Proposed MJ Disposition or first Planned MJ Disposition in any such series. Such Proposed Disposition Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including the number of Transfer Shares, and, if not planned to be consummated on the open market, the price per Transfer Share and form of consideration) of the Proposed MJ Disposition(s) and the identity (if known) of the Person or Persons to whom such XX Xxxxxx proposes to make such Proposed MJ Disposition(s), and shall contain the wire instructions for payment of the purchase price by the Company to the MJ Holders in the event the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal. To exercise its Right of First Refusal under this Section 6.2, within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Proposed Disposition Notice (the “Exercise Period”), the Company must deliver a written notice from the Company notifying any XX Xxxxxx proposing to make a Proposed MJ Disposition that the Company intends to exercise its Right of First Refusal as to some or all of the Transfer Shares with respect to the Proposed MJ Disposition(s) (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice shall set forth the number of Transfer Shares that the Company will acquire and the ROFR Price to be paid for such Transfer Shares. If the Company (i) does not deliver an Exercise Notice within the Exercise Period or has otherwise delivered a written notice to the XX Xxxxxx stating that the Company will not exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to some or all of the Transfer Shares, or (ii) the Exercise Notice delivered by the Company provides for the exercise of the Right of First Refusal with respect to only a portion of the Transfer Shares, then the XX Xxxxxx may Dispose of any of the Transfer Shares that are not subject to the Exercise Notice within thirty (30) days beginning on the date immediately following the expiration of the Exercise Period or, if longer, the time period set for such series of Planned MJ Dispositions in the Proposed Disposition Notice, which period shall not exceed ninety (90) days (the “Transfer Period”) at a price not less than the ROFR Price, other than in the case of any Planned MJ Dispositions, which may be made on the open market at the applicable market price on any Disposition during the Transfer Period, and otherwise on terms and conditions not more favorable than those set forth in the Proposed Disposition Notice (if any). If the XX Xxxxxx
DB1/ 124869655.12 24 does not Dispose of the Transfer Shares within the Transfer Period or if such Disposition is not consummated within the Transfer Period, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the Transfer Shares shall not be offered to any Person unless first re-offered to the Company in accordance with this Section 6.2. 6.3 Consideration; Closing. The closing of the purchase of Transfer Shares by the Company shall take place, and all payments from the Company shall have been delivered to the selling XX Xxxxxx by wire transfer to the account designated in the Proposed Disposition Notice, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Disposition Notice as the intended date of the Proposed MJ Disposition and (ii) five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Exercise Notice. 6.4 Effect of Failure to Comply. Any Proposed MJ Disposition not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. If any XX Xxxxxx becomes obligated to sell any Lock-Up Shares to the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal and fails to deliver such Lock-Up Shares in accordance with the terms of this Section 6, the Company may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such XX Xxxxxx the purchase price for such Lock-Up Shares in accordance with this Section 6 and, immediately thereupon, such XX Xxxxxx shall transfer to the name of the Company on the Company’s books and (to the extent applicable, issue to the Company the certificate or certificates representing) the Lock-Up Shares to be sold. Section 7. Drag-Along Rights. 7.1 General. If TopCo Parent or any of its Affiliates (each a “Transferring Party”) proposes to make a Control Disposition of Common Stock to a non-Affiliated third party where the amount of consideration to be paid for each share of Common Stock is at least equal to the Parent Share Value (subject to appropriate adjustment, if any, for changes in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or similar transaction), such Transferring Party shall have the right at any time prior to such time as the Apollo Funds do not own fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock or equity securities of the Company or the voting power to elect a majority of the Board, to exercise drag-along rights in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 7 to cause each Major Holder and each Permitted Transferee of a Major Holder, other than a Permitted Transferee as described in Section 2.2(b)(i) (each, a “Drag-Along Holder”) to Dispose of such number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Disposed by such Transferring Party in a Control Disposition and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by such Transferring Party and its Affiliates immediately prior to the proposed Control Disposition, by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
DB1/ 124869655.12 25 owned by such Drag-Along Holder immediately prior to such Control Disposition (a “Drag-Along Transaction”). 7.2 Notice. The Company shall deliver or shall cause the Transferring Party to deliver written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to each of the Drag-Along Holders at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Drag-Along Transaction is expected to be consummated, which notice shall set forth (i) the name and address of the proposed acquirer, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred to the proposed acquirer or a description of the assets proposed to be sold to the proposed acquirer, (iii) the amount and form of consideration for such shares of Common Stock or assets (which consideration shall consist entirely of cash and/or Marketable Securities), (iv) other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Transaction (including a copy of the definitive agreement to effect such Control Disposition) and (v) the anticipated closing date for the Drag-Along Transaction. 7.3 Terms of a Drag-Along Transaction. (a) Each Drag-Along Holder shall (i) be required to make individual representations and warranties as to the unencumbered title to its shares of Common Stock, the power, authority and legal right to convert, exchange or transfer such Common Stock, the due execution and enforceability of the relevant documents and the absence of any adverse claim (as set forth in Section 8-102 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) or litigation with respect to such Common Stock, as well as customary representations with respect to the absence of conflicts or required consents and the lack of any brokerage, finder’s or other fee being payable based on arrangements made by such Drag-Along Holder and that are also entered into (on substantially the same terms and conditions) by the Transferring Party in connection with the Drag- Along Transaction, (ii) agree to the same covenants, indemnities and agreements (and shall be subject on a pro rata basis to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements) as made by the Transferring Party and (iii) otherwise agree to the same terms and conditions as the Transferring Party agrees with respect to the Drag-Along Transaction (which shall not include any non- competition or similar restrictive agreements or covenants that would bind such Drag-Along Holder or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a Drag-Along Holder otherwise agrees, all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements of the Drag- Along Holders shall be made by the Drag-Along Holders severally and not jointly, and any liability under any such indemnities or liability for breach of any representations and warranties or agreements of the Drag-Along Holders shall be borne by each Drag-Along Holder severally and not jointly. Liability under any indemnities related to the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be allocated among the Transferring Party and each Drag-Along Holder, pro rata based on the value of the proceeds received by each of them, and the aggregate amount of liability for each Drag- Along Holder to the acquirer shall not exceed the net proceeds actually received by such Drag- Along Holder (other than in case of fraud by such Drag-Along Holder). (b) The consummation of any proposed Drag-Along Transaction (in whole or part) shall occur in the sole discretion of the Transferring Party, who shall have no liability or obligation to any Major Holder other than as set forth in this Agreement in connection with the negotiation of, structuring, restructuring and cancellation (in whole or part) of such Drag-Along
DB1/ 124869655.12 26 Transaction (it being understood that any consummation or cancellation in part shall apply proportionally based on the number of shares of Common Stock the Transferring Party and each of the Drag-Along Holders are proposing to Dispose). 7.4 Cooperation. Each Drag-Along Holder shall cooperate with the Transferring Party and shall take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Transferring Party in connection with a Drag- Along Transaction, including voting all equity securities in favor of the Drag-Along Transaction and executing any and all agreements and instruments reasonably requested by the Transferring Party. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, each Drag-Along Holder hereby waives any and all dissenters, appraisal, quasi-appraisal or other similar rights such Drag-Along Holder may have in connection with any Drag-Along Transaction. 7.5 Costs. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with any proposed Drag-Along Transaction (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys’ fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finder, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company or its Subsidiaries. 7.6 Drag-Along Transaction Not Consummated. In the event that a binding and definitive agreement for the sale or transfer in a Drag-Along Transaction pursuant to this Section 7 is not entered into within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Drag-Along Holders receive the Drag-Along Notice or the Drag-Along Transaction is not consummated following satisfaction or waiver of all applicable conditions precedent within nine (9) months after the Drag-Along Holders receive the Drag-Along Notice, upon expiration of any definitive agreement for the Drag-Along Transaction then in effect, the Drag-Along Holders shall cease to be bound by the obligations set forth in this Section 7 with regard to such transaction. Section 8. Confidentiality. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be held confidential by each Holder and no Holder shall disclose to any Person not a party to this Agreement any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, except (a) as required to be disclosed under applicable law or pursuant to an order, request or demand of any governmental authority, including any filings made by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (b) to the extent such information becomes publicly available, (c) to each Holder’s Affiliates and its and their lenders, investors, officers, directors, employees, partners, limited partners, legal counsel, independent auditors and other advisors or agents, or (d) to the extent reasonable or necessary in protecting and enforcing a Holder’s rights with respect to this Agreement. Section 9. Representations and Warranties.
DB1/ 124869655.12 27 Each Holder hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit C to each of the other parties to this Agreement as of the date such Holder executes this Agreement or an Adoption Agreement, as the case may be. Section 10. Miscellaneous Provisions. 10.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the applicable laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or in the event (but only in the event) that the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such legal action or proceeding, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court for the District of Delaware also does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such legal action or proceeding, any Delaware state court sitting in New Castle County, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereof, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than the courts of the State of Delaware, as described above. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the addresses set forth in Annex II shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 10.1, that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, xxxxxx or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which a party hereto is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. Each party hereto expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is intended to be irrevocable under the laws of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America; provided, that each such party’s consent to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 10.1 is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 10.1 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to said courts or in the State of Delaware other than for such purpose. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM
DB1/ 124869655.12 28 ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 10.2 Amendment. (a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement may only be modified or amended, and provisions hereof may be waived, by an instrument in writing duly executed and delivered by the Company and each Holder that would be adversely affected by such amendment, modification or waiver. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement requested by any Party must be in writing by the Party granting such waiver. Upon obtaining such approvals required by this Agreement, each of the Parties may execute the relevant amendment, restatement, modification or waiver of this Agreement and shall be deemed a party to and bound by such amendment, restatement, modification or waiver of this Agreement. (b) For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to other amendments authorized herein, amendments may be made to this Agreement from time to time by the Company, with prompt written notice to, but without the consent of, any of the Holders or any other party to this Agreement, to reflect changes in ownership of Common Stock and/or other securities of the Company, including changes pursuant to Permitted Dispositions. (c) If this Agreement is amended solely to reflect the addition, substitution or increased ownership of a Holder, in accordance with the terms hereof, such amendment to this Agreement shall be sufficient when it is signed by the Company and by the Person to be substituted or added or who is increasing his, her or its investment in the Company, and, if a Holder is to be substituted, by the assigning Holder, as applicable, subject to a prompt written notice to all other Holders. 10.3 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the dissolution of the Company; provided, that (a) the provisions of Section 5.7, Section 8 and this Section 10 shall survive such termination and (b) such termination shall not relieve any Party from any liability for the breach of any obligations set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination. 10.4 Dispositions of Common Stock. Upon the Disposition of all the shares of Common Stock held by a Holder and all securities exercisable, or exchangeable for or convertible into, Common Stock in accordance with this Agreement, such Holder shall cease to be a party to this Agreement and shall have no further rights and obligations hereunder, except with respect to such Holder’s (a) confidentiality obligations under Section 8 and (b) indemnification rights and obligations under Section 5.7; it being understood that such Disposition shall not relieve such Holder from any liability for the breach of any obligations set forth in this Agreement prior to such Disposition. 10.5 Notices. In the event a written notice or other document is required to be sent hereunder to the Company or to the Holders or the spouses or legal representative of the Holders, as applicable,
DB1/ 124869655.12 29 such notice or other document shall be sent by reputable overnight courier, or by registered mail, return receipt requested (and by air mail in the event the addressee is not in the continental United States), to the party entitled to receive such notice or other document at the address set forth on Xxxxx XX hereto. Any such notice shall be effective upon evidence of receipt, but actual notice shall be effective however and whenever received. The Company and the Holders or spouses or respective legal representatives of the Holders may effect a change of address for purposes of this Agreement by giving written notice of such change to the Company, and the Company shall, upon the request of any party hereto, notify such party of such change in the manner provided herein. Until such notice of change of address is properly given, the addresses set forth herein shall be effective for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders acknowledge and agree that any notice required or permitted by this Agreement or under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law may be given to the Holder at the electronic mail address set forth on Annex II hereto. Each Holder further agrees to notify the Company of any change to such Xxxxxx’s electronic mail address and that the provision of such notice to the Company shall constitute the consent of such Holder to receive notice at such electronic mail address. In the event that the Company is unable to deliver notice to a Holder at the electronic mail address so provided by the Holder, such Holder shall, within two (2) Business Days after a request by the Company, provide the Company with a valid electronic mail address to which the Holder consents to receive notice at such electronic mail address. 10.6 Specific Performance. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of this Agreement will be inadequate, agrees that each other party to this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any such breach or attempted breach and further agrees to waive (to the extent legally permissible) any legal conditions required to be met for the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief (including posting any bond in order to obtain equitable relief). 10.7 Treatment of Certain Dispositions. Any Disposition or attempted Disposition in breach of this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no effect. In connection with any attempted Disposition in breach of this Agreement, the Company may hold and refuse to transfer any Common Stock or any certificate therefor, in addition to and without prejudice to any and all other rights or remedies which may be available to it and/or the Holders. 10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. 10.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement
DB1/ 124869655.12 30 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be null and void. It is the intent of the parties, however, that any invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions be automatically replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 10.10 Further Efforts. Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed, without further consideration, all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments, and documents as any other party may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 10.11 Waivers. No course of dealing between the Company, or its Subsidiaries, and any Holder or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 10.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels all previous and contemporaneous agreements among all or some of the parties hereto, whether written, oral or otherwise. 10.13 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, none of the provisions in this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person that is not a party to this Agreement. The covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto. 10.14 No Personal Liability.

For purposes of this Agreement, the words “include,” “includes,” and “including,” and any variation

Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each such party acknowledges is the result of negotiations among such parties (as sophisticated Persons), and consequently, this Agreement shall be interpreted without reference to any laws to the effect that any ambiguity in a document be construed against the drafter. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. References to agreements and other documents shall be deemed to include all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto. References to acts and statutes shall include the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any reference to any acts, statutes, rules and regulations shall refer to the same as amended from time to time. The use herein of the masculine, feminine or neuter forms shall also denote the other forms, as in each case the context may require. Except when the context requires otherwise, any reference in this Agreement to a singular number shall include the plural.
