Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either (1) Xxxxxxxx’x or Tolworthy’s employment is or was terminated by the Company under Section 5(C) of the Xxxxxxxx Employment Agreement and the Tolworthy Employment Agreement, respectively, prior to the fifth anniversary of the Original Effective Date, or (2) if (A) either Xxxxxxxx or Tolworthy voluntarily resigns or resigned after the second anniversary of the Original Effective Date (but in the case of Xxxxxxxx, only if Tolworthy is still employed by the Company in an executive capacity and in the case of Tolworthy, only if Xxxxxxxx is still employed by the Company in an executive capacity (unless Xxxxxxxx is Chairman and holds no other executive title)) and (B) at the time of such resignation, the Company and its Subsidiaries are or were not in

If the transfer restrictions lapse as the result of an event specified in (1) or (2) of the preceding sentence and at such time the Company has not consummated a Qualified Public Offering, the Company shall (subject to the right of first offer in favor of the Company and IPC set forth in Section 3(b)) use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist that Person in selling Management Shares in a private placement to an institutional investor that is a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, which institutional investor shall be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Company on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(b) Right of First Offer.

(i) Any holder of Securityholder Shares (a “Transferring Holder”) that proposes to Transfer Securityholder Shares (other than a Transfer of IPC Shares, a Transfer pursuant to Section 3(c), Section 3(d), Section 4 or Section 5, or a Transfer by any Mezzanine Holder pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii)), shall deliver a written notice (an “Offer Notice”) (1) to the Company and (2) to IPC on behalf of the IPC Holders (for purposes of this Section 3(b) the IPC Holders are referred to as the “Offerees”) at least 30 days prior to making such Transfer (such 30-day period, the “Election Period”). The Offer Notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the proposed number and type of Securityholder Shares to be Transferred, the proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer and the identity of the prospective Transferee(s) (if known). The Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Securityholder Shares specified in the Offer Notice at the price and on the terms specified therein by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Holder and the Offerees as soon as practical but in any event within ten days after the delivery of the Offer Notice. If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Securityholder Shares within such ten-day period, the Offerees may elect to purchase all of the Securityholder Shares specified in the Offer Notice which the Company has not elected to purchase at the price and on the terms specified therein by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Holder and to the Company as soon as practical but in any event within 25 days after delivery of the Offer Notice. Any Securityholder Shares not elected to be purchased by the end of such 25-day period shall be reoffered for the five-day period prior to the expiration of the Election Period by the Transferring Holder to the Company. If the Company or any Offerees have elected to purchase all of the Securityholder Shares from the Transferring Holder, the Transfer of such Securityholder Shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to the Transferring Holder, but in any event within 30 days after the expiration of the Election Period.

(ii) If the Company and the Offerees have not elected to purchase all of the Securityholder Shares being offered, the Transferring Holder may, within 180 days after the expiration of the Election Period and subject to the other provisions of Section 3, Transfer the Securityholder Shares to one or more third parties at a price no less than the price per share specified in the Offer Notice and on other terms that are not more favorable in the aggregate to the Transferees thereof than those that were offered to the Company and the Offerees in the Offer Notice unless the Transferring Holder shall first have delivered a second notice setting forth such more favorable terms (the “Amended Offer Notice”) to the Company and each Securityholder. If the Transferring Holder delivers an Amended Offer Notice, the Company and each Securityholder may elect to acquire all of the Securityholder Shares specified in the Amended Offer Notice by delivering written notice to the Transferring Holder not later than the later of (1) 30 days after delivery of the Offer Notice or (2) five Business Days after delivery of the Amended Offer Notice. Any Securityholder Shares not Transferred within such 180-day period must be reoffered to the Company and the Offerees pursuant to this Section 3(b) prior to any subsequent Transfer. The Offer Notice may specify whether the purchase price shall be payable solely in cash at the closing of the transaction or in installments over time.

(iii) The Company shall cooperate with a Transferring Holder in selling the Securityholder Shares in a private placement to an institutional investor that is a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act to the extent that such prospective institutional investor is reasonably acceptable to the Company and enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Company on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Company’s obligation to cooperate in such a sale is limited to those activities reasonably necessary to allow the Transfer to comply with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and include, but are not limited to, providing financial and operating information and access to management and the Company’s records (subject to the confidentiality arrangements specified in the preceding sentence).

(i) Any IPC Holder (the “Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder”) that proposes to Transfer any IPC Shares (other than in a Transfer of Excluded Securities, or a Transfer pursuant to Section 3(d), Section 4 or Section 5) (1) within six months following the date Original Effective Date, IPC Shares (together with other IPC Shares Transferred under this Section 3(c)(i)(1)) representing in excess of 15% of the Securityholder Shares held by to the IPC Group in the aggregate as of the date hereof (determined by reference to their Original Cost) or (2) at any time after six months following the Original Effective Date, any IPC Shares, shall deliver a written notice (the “Sale Notice”) shall deliver a written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the Company and each other Securityholder (the “Participation Securityholders”) at least 30 days prior to making such Transfer, specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective Transferee(s), the number and type of shares to be Transferred and the terms and conditions of the Transfer. Each Participation Securityholder may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions by delivering written notice to the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder within 20 days after delivery of the Sale Notice, which notice shall become irrevocable after the expiration of such 20-day period and shall specify the number of Securityholder Shares that such Participation Securityholder desires to include in such proposed Transfer; provided that each Participation Securityholder shall be required, as a condition to being permitted to sell Securityholder Shares pursuant to this Section 3(c), to elect to sell Securityholder Shares of the same type and class and in the same relative proportions (which proportions shall be determined on a share for share basis) as the Securityholder Shares being Transferred by the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder. If none of the Participation Securityholders gives such notice prior to the expiration of the 20-day period for giving such notice, then the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholders may Transfer Securityholder Shares to any Person at a price no greater, and on other terms and conditions that are not more favorable in the aggregate to the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder than those set forth in the Sale Notice at any time within 180 days after expiration of such 20-day period for giving notice. Any such Securityholder Shares not Transferred by the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder during such 180-day period

shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 3(c) upon subsequent Transfer. If any Participation Securityholders have elected to participate in such Transfer, the Participation Securityholders shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms as the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder, a portion of the total number of each class of Securityholder Shares to be sold in the Transfer, to be calculated according to the following formula: Number of Securityholder Shares of such class that a participating Participation Securityholder may sell equals the total number of Securityholder Shares of such class to be sold in the Transfer, multiplied by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the number of Securityholder Shares of such class owned by such Participation Securityholder, and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Securityholder Shares of such class owned, in the aggregate, by the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder and all participating Participation Securityholders.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder shall not consummate the Transfer contemplated by the Sale Notice at a price greater or on other terms more favorable in the aggregate to it than those set forth in the Sale Notice (including, without limitation, as to price per share or form of consideration to be received) unless the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder shall first have delivered a second notice setting forth such more favorable terms (the “Amended Sale Notice”) to each Participation Securityholder who had not elected to participate in the contemplated Transfer. Each Participation Securityholder receiving an Amended Sale Notice may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer on such amended terms by delivering written notice to the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder not later than the later of (1) 20 days after delivery of the Sale Notice or (2) five Business Days after delivery of the Amended Sale Notice.

(iii) No Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder shall Transfer any of its Securityholder Shares to any prospective Transferee if such prospective Transferee(s) declines to allow the participation of the electing Participation Securityholders, unless the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder acquires from each electing Participation Securityholder the number of Securityholder Shares such electing Participation Securityholder would have been entitled to transfer to the prospective Transferee (or, if less, the number of Securityholder Shares that such Participation Securityholder requested to Transfer to such Transferee) for cash at the same price per share paid by the Transferee. If the Transfer pursuant to this Section 3(c) is actually consummated, each Securityholder Transferring Securityholder Shares pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall pay its own costs of any sale and a pro rata share (based on the relative consideration to be received in respect of the Securityholder Shares to be sold) of the expenses incurred by the Securityholders (to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Securityholders and are not otherwise paid by the Transferee). Each Securityholder Transferring Securityholder Shares pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be obligated to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements and to join on a pro rata basis (based on the relative consideration to be received in respect of the Securityholder Shares to be sold) in any indemnification or other obligations that the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder agrees to provide in connection with such Transfer (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to a particular Securityholder such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by a Securityholder regarding such Securityholder’s title to and ownership of such Securityholder’s Securityholder Shares).

(iv) No Securityholder Shares that have been Transferred in a Transfer pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(c) (“Excluded Securities”) shall be subject again to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3(c), nor shall any Securityholder holding Excluded Securities be entitled to exercise any rights as a Participation Securityholder under this Section 3(c) with respect to such Excluded Securities, and no Excluded Securities held by a Securityholder shall be counted in determining the respective participation rights of the Section 3(c) Transferring Securityholder and the Participation Securityholders in a Transfer subject to Section 3(c).

(d) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions set forth in this Section 3 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Securityholder Shares by any Securityholder (i) in the case of any Securityholder who is a natural person or a grantor retained annuity trust, pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or to or among members of such Securityholder’s or grantor’s Family (provided that in the case of a Transfer by a Management Holder to a member of his Family (other than a member of his Family that is also a Management Holder on the date of this Agreement), such Management Holder retains the right to vote and direct the disposition of such Securityholder Shares); (ii) (1) by any IPC Holder to any member of the IPC Group, (2) by any FdG Holder to any member of the FdG Group, (3) by any Blackstone Holder to any of the Blackstone Entities, (4) by any Mezzanine Holder to any of its Affiliates and (5) by any Antares Holder to any of its Affiliates (Transferees under (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to herein as “Permitted Transferees”), (iii) pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii), Section 4 or Section 5, (iv) pursuant to a pledge of Management Shares to the Company to secure an obligation to the Company and any Transfer of such Management Shares to the Company in partial or complete satisfaction of such obligation, or (v) any Transfer of Management Shares in accordance with the provisions of any agreement or arrangement approved by the Board.

(e) Transferees Bound by Agreement. Prior to Transferring any Securityholder Shares (other than pursuant to a Public Sale or a Company Sale) to any Person, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the transferring holders of Securityholder Shares shall cause the prospective transferee to be bound by this Agreement to the same extent as such transferring holders and to execute and deliver to the Company and the holders of Securityholder Shares a counterpart of this Agreement which evidences such agreement. The Company shall have the right to require, as a condition to any Transfer, receipt of an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Transfer is not required to be registered under the Securities Act. In addition, any prospective Transferee of Management Shares held by Tolworthy shall deliver a written agreement (reasonably acceptable to the Company) of the prospective Transferee to be bound by the restrictions set forth in Section 4 of the Tolworthy Employment Agreement (to the extent such restrictions are applicable to the Management Shares being transferred).

(f) Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Securityholder Shares in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not register the Transfer of such Securityholder Shares on its books or treat any purported Transferee of such Securityholder Shares as the owner of such Securityholder Shares for any purpose.

(g) Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions on the Transfer of Securityholder Shares set forth in this Section 3 shall continue with respect to each Securityholder Share until the earliest of (i) in the case of any Securityholder Share, the date on which such Securityholder Share has been Transferred in a Public Sale, (ii) in the case of all Securityholder Shares, the consummation of a Company Sale, (iii) in the case of Securityholder Shares subject to the restrictions imposed under Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, and (iv) in the case of Securityholder Shares subject to the restrictions imposed under Section 3(c), the later of the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering and termination of Section 4.

(b) The obligations of the Securityholders with respect to the Company Sale are subject to the condition that upon the consummation of the Company Sale, all of the holders of a particular class or series of Securityholder Shares shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per share (including that received by the IPC Majority Holders) or if any holders of a particular class or series of Securityholder Shares are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of such class or series shall be given the same option (including that given to the IPC Majority Holders). The obligations of the Securityholders with respect to the Preferred Stock Sale are subject to the condition that upon the consummation of the Preferred Stock Sale, all of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per share or if any holders of Series A Preferred Stock are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be given the same option. In addition, the Company shall have the right to require that all holders of then currently exercisable rights to acquire a particular class or series of Securityholder Shares shall be given an opportunity, at the Securityholder’s option, to either (i) exercise such rights prior to the consummation of the Company Sale and participate in such sale as holders of such Securityholder Shares or (ii) upon the consummation of the Company Sale, receive in exchange for such rights consideration equal to the amount determined by multiplying (1) the same amount of consideration per share or amount of Securityholder Shares received by the holders of such type and class of Securityholder Shares in connection with the Company Sale less the exercise price per share or amount of such rights to acquire such Securityholder Shares by (2) the number of shares or aggregate amount of Securityholder Shares represented by such rights.

(c) If a Company Sale or Preferred Stock Sale is consummated, then each Securityholder shall bear such Person’s pro rata share (based upon the relative amount of consideration received by such Securityholder) of the costs of any sale of Securityholder Shares pursuant to a Company Sale or a Preferred Stock Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Securityholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by or on behalf of a Securityholder for such Person’s sole benefit shall not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder. In the event that any transaction that the Company or a IPC Holder, as applicable, elects to consummate or cause to be consummated pursuant to this Section 4 is not consummated for any reason, the Company shall reimburse the IPC Holders for all actual and reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the IPC Holders in connection therewith.

(d) The rights granted in this Section 4 shall terminate on the later of the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering and the date on which the Securityholder Shares cease to represent at least 40% of all Common Stock including Common Stock Equivalents of the Company.

5. Registration Rights.

5A. Demand Registrations.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 (including the restrictions set forth in Section 5A(d)), each of the Requesting Holders shall have the right (the “Demand Right”) to request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Requesting Holder(s) by delivering a written notice to the principal business office of the Company, which notice identifies the Requesting Holders and specifies the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration (the “Registration Request”). The Company shall give prompt written notice of such Registration Request (the “Registration Notice”) to all other holders of Registrable Securities and shall thereupon use its best efforts to effect the registration (a “Demand Registration”) under the Securities Act on any form available to the Company of:

(i) the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Requesting Holder and all other Registrable Securities which the Company has received a written request to register within 15 days after the Registration Notice is given;

(ii) any securities of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the Company for its own account; and

(iii) any Common Stock of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the holders of any registration rights granted other than pursuant to this Agreement (“Other Registration Rights”).

(b) A registration undertaken by the Company at the request of the Requesting Holder shall not count as a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 5A(d):

(i) if, pursuant to the Demand Right, the Requesting Holders fail to register and sell at least 85% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by them; or

(ii) if the Requesting Holders withdraw a Registration Request (1) upon the determination of the Board to postpone the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 5A(d) or (2) upon the recommendation of the managing underwriter of such offering due to discovery of a material adverse development regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or general adverse economic or market conditions which, in such underwriter’s opinion and in either case, are reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the price that could be obtained for such securities or the marketability thereof (provided that the right of the Requesting Holders to withdraw a Registration Request pursuant to this clause (2) for general adverse economic or market conditions may be exercised only once for each Requesting Holder).

(c) If the sole or managing underwriter of a Demand Registration advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering, or the marketability of such securities, then the Company shall include in such registration in the following order of priority:

(i) first, the greatest number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold, such amount to be allocated ratably among each Demand Holder based on the amount of Registrable Securities held by each such Demand Holder (or, if any Demand Holder does not request to include its ratable share, such excess shall be allocated ratably among those Requesting Holders requesting to include more than their allocable share);

(ii) second, after all of the Registrable Securities that the Demand Holders propose to register, the greatest number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by Securityholders (other than Demand Holders) which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold, such amount to be allocated ratably among such Securityholders based on the amount of Registrable Securities held by each such Securityholder (or, if any Securityholder does not request to include its ratable share, such excess shall be allocated ratably among those Securityholders requesting to include more than their allocable share);

(iii) third, after all Registrable Securities that the Demand Holders and Securityholders propose to register, the greatest number of securities proposed to be registered by Persons with Other Registration Rights which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold, such amount to be allocated ratably among the respective holders thereof based on the amount of securities held by each such holder (or, if any holder does not request to include its ratable share, such excess shall be allocated ratably among those holders requesting to include more than their allocable share); and

(iv) fourth, after all securities that the Demand Holders, Securityholders and the Persons with Other Registration Rights propose to register, the greatest number of securities proposed to be registered by the Company for its own account, which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right (the “Priority Right”) to receive priority over all holders of Registrable Securities and Persons with Other Registration Rights (other than Requesting Holders) in any Demand Registration to be effected under this Section 5A with respect to securities that the Company proposes to include in such registration for its own account by giving written notice of its election to exercise such Priority Right to the Requesting Holders; and thereafter, priority will be as set forth in (i)-(iii) above.

(d) The Company shall be obligated to effect (i) a maximum of four Demand Registrations on Form S-1 or Form S-2 (or similar long-form registration forms) and an unlimited number of registrations on Form S-3 (or similar short-form registration forms) for the IPC Holders, (ii) a maximum of one Demand Registration for the Mezzanine Holders, (iii) a maximum of one Demand Registration for the FdG Holders, and (iv) a maximum of one Demand

Registration for the Xxxxxxxx Holders. Any Demand Registration requested must be for a firmly underwritten public offering (to be managed by an underwriter or underwriters of recognized national standing selected by the Requesting Holders and reasonably acceptable to the Company). The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within a period of six months after the effective date of any previous Registration Statement. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration if it reasonably believes that the aggregate sales price of all securities proposed to be included in such Demand Registration will not equal or exceed $5 million (or $2 million if such Demand Holder exercises its Demand Right with respect to all remaining Registrable Securities held by such Demand Holder) if such registration is effected on Form S-3 (or any successor form) or $20 million if such registration is effected on any other form. The Company shall not be obligated to effect the Demand Registration of the Mezzanine Holders, the FdG Holders or the Xxxxxxxx Holders, as the case may be, until the date that is one year following the consummation of the Company’s Qualified Public Offering. The rights of the Mezzanine Holders, the FdG Holders or the Xxxxxxxx Holders shall not be exercisable (i) prior to the first anniversary of a Qualified Public Offering and (ii) at any time when (1) the Blackstone Holders, the FdG Holders or the Xxxxxxxx Holders, as applicable, owns less than 2% of the Company’s Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis taking into account all Common Stock Equivalents) and (2) the Registrable Securities held by the Blackstone Holders, the FdG Holders or the Xxxxxxxx Holders, as applicable, are saleable to the public pursuant to Rule 144, without regard to any volume limitations, adopted under the Securities Act. The Company may defer not more than two times for a period not to exceed 90 days in the aggregate during any 12-month period from each receipt of the request to file a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if the Board in good faith determines that such Demand Registration might reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other material transactions; provided that in such event, the Requesting Holders shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as a Demand Registration.

(e) In connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 5A, each party to this Agreement shall vote, or cause to be voted, all securities of the Company over which it has the power to vote or direct the voting to effect any stock split which, in the opinion of the sole or managing underwriter, is necessary to facilitate the effectiveness of such Demand Registration.

5B. Incidental Registration.

(a) At any time the Company proposes or is required to register any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a business acquisition or combination or an employee benefit plan), whether in connection with a primary or secondary offering, the Company shall give written notice to each holder of Registrable Securities at least 20 days prior to the initial filing of such Registration Statement with the SEC of the Company’s intent to file such Registration Statement and of such holder’s rights under this Section 5B. Upon the written request of any holder of Registrable Securities made within 10 days after any such notice is given (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the

registration (an “Incidental Registration”) under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the holders thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Incidental Registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities under this Section 5B in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the expenses incurred in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities under this Section 5B during the period that the registration of such other securities is delayed.

(b) If the sole or managing underwriter of an Incidental Registration advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability of such securities, then the Company shall include in such Incidental Registration the Registrable Securities and other securities of the Company in the following order of priority:

(i) first, the greatest number of securities of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the Company for its own account, which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold;

(ii) second, after all of the securities that the Company proposes to register, the greatest number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by Securityholders which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold, such amount to be allocated ratably among the Securityholders based on the amount of Registrable Securities held by each such Securityholder (or, if any Securityholder does not request to include its ratable share, such excess shall be allocated ratably among those Securityholders requesting to include more than their allocable share); and

(iii) third, after all securities that the Company and Securityholders propose to register, the greatest number of securities held by Persons with Other Registration Rights requested to be registered by the holders thereof which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold, such amount to be allocated ratably among the respective holders thereof based on the amount of securities held by each such holder (or, if any holder does not request to include its ratable share, such excess shall be allocated ratably among those holders requesting to include more than their allocable share).

5C. Holdback Agreements.

(a) Each holder of Securityholder Shares agrees not to effect any Public Sale of any Securityholder Shares or of any other equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such stock or securities, during the period

beginning seven days prior to, and ending 180 days after (or for such shorter period as to which the managing underwriter(s) may agree), the date of the underwriting agreement of each underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement other than Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such underwritten offering.

(b) The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities) during the seven days prior to and during the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration (or for such shorter period as to which the managing underwriter or underwriters may agree), except as part of such Demand Registration or in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan, any dividend reinvestment plan, or a business acquisition or combination and to use all reasonable efforts to cause each holder of at least 5% (on a fully-diluted basis) of its equity securities (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities) which are or may be purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered offering) to agree not to effect any sale or distribution of any such securities during such period (except as part of such underwritten offering, if otherwise permitted).

5D. Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on a form available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become effective;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 90 days from the effective date and (ii) such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof; cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented;

(c) notify each holder of Registrable Securities promptly (but in any event within two Business Days), and confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order (or threat of such issuance of a stop order) suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, (iii) if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities

the Company becomes aware that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 5D(j) cease to be true and correct in all material respects, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Securities for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, and (v) if the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, prospectus or documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(d) use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of a prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

(e) furnish, upon request, to each holder of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, without charge, one original copy and such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus and each prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act), any amendments or supplements thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as such holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities being sold by such holder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the Public Offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto);

(f) if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or any holder of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration in connection with any sale pursuant to a registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information relating to such underwriting as the managing underwriter or underwriters or such holder reasonably requests to be included therein; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(g) in connection with any sale pursuant to a Registration, cooperate with the holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates

(not bearing any restrictive legends including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 8) representing securities to be sold under such Registration, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or such holders may request;

(h) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, to use its best efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with each holder of Registrable Securities, the underwriters (if any), the sales agents, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any holder of Registrable Securities or the managing underwriters reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5D(h), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

(i) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5D(c)(v), as promptly as practicable prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(j) enter into an underwriting agreement in such form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by the managing or sole underwriter in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, (i) make such representations and warranties to the underwriters, with respect to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Registration Statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and confirm the same if and when requested; (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters), addressed to the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by underwriters; (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any Subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings; and (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable to the holders of Registrable Securities than those set forth in Section 5F (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities

covered by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriters or agents) with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section (and each of the foregoing shall be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder);

(k) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its stockholders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than the time prescribed under Regulation S-X (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods; and

(l) (i) use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on the principal securities exchange on which Common Stock is then listed (if any), if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) if no Common Stock is then so listed, use its best efforts to, either (as the Company may elect) (x) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on a national securities exchange or (y) secure designation of all such Registrable Securities as a NASDAQ “national market system security” within the meaning of Rule 11Aa2-1 or, failing that, to secure NASDAQ authorization for such shares and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such shares with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”).

The Company may require each holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such holder and the distribution of such 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. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information promptly after receiving such request. The Company shall permit any holder of Registrable Securities that, in its judgment, may be deemed to be an underwriter or controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included. Each holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5D(c)(ii), 5D(c)(iv) or 5D(c)(v), such holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or prospectus until such holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by this Section 5D, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto.

5E. Registration Expenses.

(a) All reasonable fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company, whether or not

any Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective, including all registration and filing fees, including fees with respect to filings required to be made with the NASD in connection with an underwritten offering and fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws, printing expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, fees and expenses of counsel for the Company, fees and expenses of all independent certified public accountants referred to in Section 5D(j), underwriters’ fees and expenses (excluding discounts, commissions, or fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals relating to the distribution of the Registrable Securities), Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, internal expenses of the Company, the expense of any annual audit or interim review, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange, and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company.

(b) In connection with any Demand Registration or Incidental Registration hereunder, the Company shall reimburse the holders of the Registrable Securities being registered in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) chosen by the Securityholders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.

5F. Indemnification; Contribution.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, jointly and severally, without limitation as to time, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, the partners, members, officers, directors, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), the partners, members, officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person and any financial or investment adviser (each, a “Covered Person”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened), costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses (including expenses of investigation) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplements thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except to the extent that the same arise out of or are based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Covered Person or the related holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein or (ii) any violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration; provided that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) such Person failed to send or deliver a copy of the prospectus with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Person

to the Person asserting the claim from which such Losses arise, (ii) the prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, and (iii) the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 5D(c). Each indemnity and reimbursement of costs and expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person. If the Public Offering pursuant to any registration statement provided for under this Section 5 is made through underwriters, no action or failure to act on the part of such underwriters (whether or not such underwriter is an Affiliate of any holder of Registrable Securities) shall affect the obligations of the Company to indemnify any holder of Registrable Securities or any other Person pursuant to the preceding sentence. If the Public Offering pursuant to any registration statement provided for under this Article 5 is made through underwriters, the Company agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriters and the Company agrees to indemnify such underwriters, their officers, directors, employees and agents, if any, and each Person, if any, who controls such underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act to the same extent as provided in this Section 5F with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities; provided that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any such underwriter, or any officer, director or employee of such underwriter or any Person who controls such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, to the extent that the loss, claim, damage, liability (or proceedings in respect thereof) or expense for which indemnification is claimed results from such underwriter’s failure to send or give a copy of an amended or supplemented final prospectus to the Person asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such amended or supplemented final prospectus prior to such written confirmation and the underwriter was provided with such amended or supplemented final prospectus.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such holder, or an authorized officer of such holder, shall furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding such holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any Registration Statement or prospectus and agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the partners, members, directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or form of prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement is contained in, or such omission or alleged omission is required to be contained in, any information regarding such holder so furnished in writing by such holder to the Company expressly for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus and that such statement or omission was relied upon by the Company in preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus or form of prospectus; provided that such holder of Registrable Securities shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that the holder has furnished in writing to the Company within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto information expressly for use in such

Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading, information previously furnished to the Company, and the Company failed to include such information therein. In no event shall the liability of any holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of payment of all taxes and expenses incurred in connection therewith) received by such holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(c) If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Parties”) of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or written threat thereof (a “Proceeding”) with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties have been prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such Proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense, the defense of any such Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided that an Indemnified Party or parties (if more than one such Indemnified Party is named in any Proceeding) shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Parties agree to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Parties fail promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding or fail to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party or parties; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party or parties and the Indemnifying Parties or an Affiliate of the Indemnifying Parties or such Indemnified Parties, and there may be one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Party or parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Parties, in which case, if such Indemnified Party or parties notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, it being understood, however, that, unless there exists a conflict among Indemnified Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Party or parties. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Parties, such Indemnifying Parties or Indemnified Party or parties shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its or their consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Parties shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) provides for other than monetary damages without the consent of the Indemnified Party or parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or parties of a release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or parties, from all liability in respect of such Proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5F is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 5F would otherwise apply by its terms, then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall have an obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been taken by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 5F(a) or 5F(b) was available to such party. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5F(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5F(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5F(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Indemnifying Party exceeds the amount of any damages that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been required to pay by reasons of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.
