2. Registration Rights and Procedures.

(i) Request. Subject to the lock-up agreement applicable to KRH in connection with the IPO, KRH may request in writing no earlier than 90 days prior to the expiration of such lock-up agreement, that the Corporation effect the registration for resale under the Securities Act of all or part of KRH’s Registrable Securities on a resale registration statement on Form S-1. Any such request will specify (a) the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and (b) the intended method of disposition thereof. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2(a), the Corporation shall promptly and as expeditiously as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act , but in no event prior to the expiration of such underwriter lock-up period, of:

(1) the Registrable Securities which the Corporation has been so requested to register by KRH (“KRH Registrable Securities”);

(2) all Registrable Securities of the same class(es) or series as the KRH Registrable Securities which have been requested to be included by the Corporation in such registration (“Corporation Registrable Securities”); and

(3) all Registrable Securities of the same class(es) or series as the KRH Registrable Securities which have been requested to be included by holders of Registrable Securities other than KRH (“Other Holder Registrable Securities”).

(ii) Unlimited Registration Rights. The Corporation shall be required to effect any and all requests by KRH for the registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-1 pursuant to this Section 2(a).

(iii) Expenses. The Corporation will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations pursuant to this Section 2(a).

(iv) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) will not be deemed to have been effected:

(1) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and remained effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier of (x) such time as all of such Registrable

Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof set forth in such registration statement or (y) 180 days after the effective date of such registration statement, except with respect to any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, in which case the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement effective until such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if the failure of any such registration statement to become or remain effective in compliance with this Section 2(a)(iv)(1) is due solely to acts or omissions of KRH, such registration requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) will be deemed to have been effected;

(2) if after it has become effective, the registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or authority and is not thereafter effective; or

(3) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by: (A) reason of a failure on the part of KRH; or (B) if the Registrable Securities covered by such registration cannot be sold within a price range acceptable to KRH.

(v) Underwritten Offering. At the election of KRH, a requested registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) may involve an underwritten offering, and, in such case, the investment bankers, underwriters and managers for such registration shall be selected by KRH in consultation with other holders of Registrable Securities being included in such registration pursuant to Section 2(a); provided, however, that such investment bankers, underwriters and managers shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.

(vi) Priority in Requested Registrations. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Corporation in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such registration would be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be offered in such offering as contemplated by KRH (an “Adverse Effect”), then the Corporation shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities that the managing underwriter believes can be sold in such offering without having an Adverse Effect allocated in the following order of priority: (a) first, all KRH Registrable Securities; (b) second, all Corporation Registrable Securities; and (c) third, all Other Holder Registrable Securities. If such managing underwriter advises the Corporation that only a portion of the Registrable Securities in any of clauses (a) through (c) above may be included in such registration without such Adverse Effect, the Corporation shall include the Registrable Securities from the holders of Registrable Securities in such clause on a pro rata basis based on the relative amount

of Registrable Securities then held by each such holder who has requested that securities owned by them be so including in a registration (provided that any such amount thereby allocated to any such holder that exceeds such holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting holders in a like manner). Without limiting the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise KRH that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to KRH, then KRH may determine that the registration statement should be abandoned or withdrawn, and upon notice thereof to the Corporation, the Corporation shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement. If KRH is not allowed to register all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included by KRH because of allocations required by this section, KRH shall not be deemed to have exercised a registration for purposes of Section 2(a).

(vii) Postponements in Requested Registrations.

(1) If upon receipt of a registration request, the Corporation shall furnish to KRH a certificate signed by the CEO or any other Senior Officer stating that the Corporation has pending or in process a material transaction (the “Transaction Delay Notice”), the disclosure of which would, in the good faith judgment of the Board, after consultation with its outside counsel, materially and adversely affect such transaction and that the filing of a registration statement would require disclosure of such material transaction within 48 hours of such receipt of such request, the Corporation shall not be required to comply with its obligations under Section 2(a)(i) until 60 days after KRH’s receipt of such notice.

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(a)(vii), the Corporation shall be entitled to serve only one Transaction Delay Notice within any period of 365 consecutive days.

(viii) Suspension of Registration Statement. If, at any time when a registration statement effected pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) hereunder relating to Registrable Securities is effective and a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 2(d)(ii) hereunder, the Corporation becomes aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, to the extent that the amendment or supplement to such prospectus are necessary to correct such untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact would require disclosure of material information which the Corporation has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the Corporation provides KRH written notice thereof promptly after the Corporation makes such determination, KRH shall suspend sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement and the Corporation

shall not be required to comply with its obligations under Section 2(d)(vi) until the earlier of (a) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (b) 60 days after KRH’s receipt of such written notice. If KRH’s disposition of Registrable Securities is discontinued pursuant to the foregoing sentence, unless the Corporation thereafter extends the effectiveness of the registration statement for so long as necessary to permit the dispositions of all Registrable Securities covered thereby, the registration statement shall not be counted for purposes of determining the number of registrations permitted under Section 2(a)(ii) hereof.

(ix) Additional Rights. The Corporation shall not, at any time, grant to any other holders of Shares (or securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Shares or other Equity Interests) any rights to request the Corporation to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any such Shares (or any such securities) on terms more favorable to such holders than the terms set forth in this Section 2(a).

(b) Incidental Registrations.

(i) Right to Piggyback. If the Corporation or any other Person that has demand registration rights (a “Third Party Registrant”) at any time after the expiration of any underwriter lock-up period applicable to the IPO proposes to register equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes), whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, the Corporation will, at each such time, give prompt written notice to KRH of its intention to do so and of KRH’s rights under this Agreement. Upon the written request of KRH made within 15 days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by KRH), the Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Corporation has been so requested to register by KRH; provided, however, that (a) 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 registration, the Corporation or such Third Party Registrant shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Corporation may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to KRH and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (b) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, KRH shall enter into an agreement with the underwriters to sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Corporation or such Third Party Registrant on substantially the same terms and conditions as apply to the Corporation or such Third Party Registrant, with such differences, including any with respect to indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and

secondary offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2(b) involves an underwritten public offering, KRH may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register all or any part of its Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. The registrations provided for in this Section 2(b) are in addition to, and not in lieu of, registrations made in accordance with Section 2(a).

(ii) Expenses. The Corporation will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 2(b).

(iii) Priority in Incidental Registrations. If a registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Corporation in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration would be likely to have an Adverse Effect on such offering, then the Corporation shall include in such registration: (a) first, 100% of the securities which the Corporation or the Third Party Registrant proposes to sell; (b) second, the amount of Registrable Securities which KRH has requested to be included in such registration; and (c) third, the amount of Registrable Securities which the other holders of Registrable Securities have requested to be included in the registration. If such managing underwriter advises the Corporation that only a portion of such Registrable Securities in any of clauses (b) and (c) may be included in such registration without such Adverse Effect, the Corporation shall include Registrable Securities from the holders of Registrable Securities in such clauses on a pro rata basis based on the relative amount of Registrable Securities then held by each such holder (provided, that any such amount thereby allocated to any such holder that exceeds such holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting holders in like manner).

(i) Corporation Registration. On the first Business Day following the one year anniversary of the closing of the IPO, the Corporation shall file with the SEC a resale registration statement on any registration statement form that is available to the Corporation at such time, for the registration under the Securities Act of the resale of all outstanding Registrable Securities held by KRH that have not been previously and then registered. Additionally, the Corporation shall file, within 20 days after the issuance of additional Registrable Securities to KRH, in the future with the SEC a resale registration statement on any registration statement form that is available to the Corporation at such time for the registration under the Securities Act of the resale of such newly issued Registrable Securities.

(ii) Expenses. The Corporation will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(c).

(iii) Effective Registration Statement. The Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2(c) to become effective and remain effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities or registration statements with respect to Registrable Securities issued to KRH in the future covered by such registration statement until the earlier of (x) such time as all such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof set forth in such registration statement or (y) such time as all Registrable Securities held by KRH are eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, or any successor provisions thereto.

(d) Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Corporation is required to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement, the Corporation will, as expeditiously as possible:

(i) (A) with respect to any registration under Section 2(a), prepare and, in any event within 20 days of the date on which the Corporation first received a request from KRH pursuant to Section 2(a)(i), file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 90 days of the initial filing, and (B) with respect to any registration under Section 2(b) and subject to the Corporation’s rights set forth in Section 2(b), use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 90 days of the initial filing, and (C) with respect to any registration under Section 2(c), use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 90 days of the initial filing; provided, however, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference) the Corporation will furnish to the holders holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, counsel for the holders of the Registrable Securities being registered and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such holders, such special counsel and such underwriters, and the Corporation will not file any such registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (excluding such documents that, upon filing, will be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) to which the holders of a majority of the

(i) In the event of any registration of any securities of the Corporation under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 2, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, each Affiliate of such holder and their respective directors, officers, employees and stockholders or members or general and limited partners (and

any director, officer, Affiliate, employee, stockholder and Controlling Person of any of the foregoing), each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who Controls such holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Registration Indemnified Parties”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable expenses of investigation) to which such Registration Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act (“Losses”), state law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of, relate to or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (b) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the Corporation of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; provided, that the Corporation shall not be liable to any Registration Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such Losses or expenses arise out of, relate to or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto or in any such preliminary, final or summary prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by or on behalf of such holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and, provided, further, that the Corporation will not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement contained in or omitted from a registration statement or the prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any party (or any Person Controlling such party) who is obligated to deliver a prospectus in transactions in a security as to which a registration statement has been filed pursuant to the Securities Act and from whom the Person asserting any such Losses purchased any of the Registrable Securities to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that Losses resulted from the fact that such party sold Registrable Securities to a Person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the registration statement or the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, and (x) the Corporation shall have previously and timely furnished sufficient copies of the registration statement or prospectus, as so amended or supplemented if required under the Securities Act, to such party in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the registration statement or prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, would have corrected such untrue statement or omission of a material fact. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Registration Indemnified Party and shall survive the Transfer of securities by any holder.

(ii) The Corporation may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Sections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(c) herein, that it shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the selling holder of such Registrable Securities or any underwriter to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 2(g)(i)) the Corporation and all other selling holders or any underwriter, as the case may be, with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by or on behalf of such selling holder specifically for inclusion in such registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement, or a document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Corporation or any of the selling holders, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or Controlling Persons and shall survive the Transfer of securities by any holder. In no event shall the liability of any selling holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (before taxes) received by such holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Promptly after receipt by a Registration Indemnified Party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2(g), such Registration Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation, give written notice to the Corporation of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure of the Registration Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Corporation of its obligations under this Section 2(g), except to the extent that the Corporation is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against a Registration Indemnified Party, unless in such Registration Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment (after consultation with legal counsel) a bona fide conflict of interest between such Registration Indemnified Party and the Corporation may exist in respect of such action or proceeding, the Corporation will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at its expense) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Registration Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Corporation to such Registration Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to such Registration Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Registration Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, in the event the Corporation declines or fails to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Registration

Indemnified Party, in either case within a 30-day period, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Corporation is not vigorously defending such action or proceeding, or if there is a bona fide conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Registration Indemnified Party, then such Registration Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Corporation shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel or other representative as incurred; provided, further, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Registration Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. The Corporation will not settle any such action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Registration Indemnified Party, unless such settlement or judgment (a) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release to such Registration Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such action or proceeding and (b) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such Registration Indemnified Party and does not otherwise adversely affect such Registration Indemnified Party, other than as a result of the imposition of financial obligations for which such Registration Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. No Registration Indemnified Party will settle any such action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Corporation (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

(iv) (1) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2(g) from the Corporation is unavailable to a Registration Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Losses or expenses referred to herein, then the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying such Registration Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Registration Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Corporation and Registration Indemnified Party in connection with the actions or proceedings which resulted in such Losses or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Corporation and Registration Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action or proceeding 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 made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Corporation or Registration Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or proceeding. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 2(g)(iv) as a result of the Losses and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any action or proceeding.

(2) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2(g)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the

equitable considerations referred to in Section 2(g)(iv)(1). 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 similar fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v) Indemnification similar to that specified in this Section 2(g) (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Corporation with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any law or with any Governmental Authority other than as required by the Securities Act.

(vi) The obligations of the parties under this Section 2(g) shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party and shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (including any waivers or extensions thereof) with respect to any such registrations made hereunder.

(h) Required Reports. The Corporation covenants that it will timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and it will take such further action as KRH may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable KRH to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of KRH, the Corporation will deliver to KRH a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

(i) Holdback Agreement. If any registration under Sections 2(a), 2(b), or 2(c) hereof or any sale of securities in connection with a registration under Section 2(a) hereof shall be in connection with an underwritten public offering, each holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, of any Equity Interests of the Corporation (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten public offering), within 30 days before, or 90 days (or such lesser period as the managing underwriters may permit or such longer periods as required by applicable law, provided that in any such case KRH is similarly so released or subject to a longer period pro rata based upon the relative number of Registrable Securities owned at such time) after, the effective date of any such registration pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(c) (except as part of any such registration or sale), and the Corporation hereby also so agrees and agrees to cause each other holder of Shares or other Equity Interests purchased from the Corporation (at any time other than in a public offering) to so agree.

(j) Termination of Rights, Except for indemnification rights provided in Section 2(g), which shall be governed in accordance with Section 2(g)(vi), the rights granted to KRH in this Section 2 shall terminate and forthwith become null and void in

full on the earliest date on which KRH and its respective Affiliates cease to beneficially own any Shares or other Equity Interests.

(k) No Inconsistent Agreement. The Corporation shall not enter into, or cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into, any agreement which conflicts with or limits or prohibits the exercise of the rights granted to KRH in this Section 2.

3. Miscellaneous.

(a) Agreement to Cooperate; Further Assurances. In case at any time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors and KRH and its respective Affiliates shall execute such further documents and shall take such further action as shall be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law.

(b) Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, amendments to this Agreement shall require approval of the Corporation and KRH.

(c) Injunctive Relief The Corporation and KRH acknowledge and agree that a violation of any of the terms of this Agreement may cause KRH and the Corporation, as the case may be, irreparable injury for which an adequate remedy at law is not available. Accordingly, it is agreed that KRH and the Corporation will each be entitled to seek an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or, equity. Nothing stated herein shall limit any other remedies provided under this Agreement or available to the parties at law or in equity.

(d) Successors, Assigns and Transferees. The provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and Permitted Transferees, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including but not limited to any creditor of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, any right, benefit, or remedy of any nature by reason of this Agreement. An assignment of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, including but not limited to an assignment by operation of law, shall be null and void unless a provision of this Agreement specifically provides otherwise or the Corporation gives its prior written consent therefor.

(e) Notices. Any written notice required or permitted to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered: (a) upon

delivery if delivered in person; (b) upon transmission if sent via telecopier, with electronic confirmation of receipt; (c) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized courier service, provided that confirmation of such overnight delivery is received by the sender; and (d) upon transmission if sent via e-mail, with a confirmation copy sent via telecopier on the same day with electronic confirmation of receipt. Notices to the Corporation or to KRH shall be delivered to the Corporation or KRH as set forth in Exhibit A, as it may be revised from time to time. Any party may change its address for notices by giving written notice of the new address to the other parties in accordance with this section, but any element of such party’s address that is not newly provided in such notice shall be deemed not to have changed.

(f) Integration. This Agreement contains the exclusive, entire and final understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no agreements, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those expressly set forth herein. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement supersedes all other prior agreements, discussions, negotiations, communications and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter hereof. No party has relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or promise not expressly contained in this Agreement in connection with this transaction.

(g) Severability. If one or more of the provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or sentences contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, then such provision, paragraph, word, clause, phrase or sentence shall be deemed restated to reflect the original intention of the parties as nearly as possible in accordance with applicable law and the remainder of this Agreement. The legality and enforceability of any such provision, paragraph, word, clause, phrase or sentence in every other respect and of the remaining provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or sentences hereof will not be in any way impaired, it being intended that all obligations, rights, powers and privileges of the Corporation and KRH will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Upon such determination of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, the Corporation and KRH shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to effect the original intent of KRH.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be legally binding upon the electronic transmission, including by facsimile or email, by each party of a signed signature page hereof to the other party.

(i) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(i) This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties.

(ii) Each party hereto agrees that any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement shall be brought or otherwise commenced exclusively in any state or federal court located in Delaware or in New York, New York. Subject to the preceding sentence, each party thereto:

(1) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of each state and federal court located in New York, New York (and each appellate court located in the State of New York) in connection with any such legal proceeding, including to enforce any settlement, order or award;

(2) consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of New York, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 3(e) is reasonably calculated to give actual notice;

(3) agrees that each state and federal court located in New York, New York shall be deemed to be a convenient forum;

(4) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in New York, New York, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court; and

(5) agrees to the entry of an order to enforce any resolution, settlement, order or award made pursuant to this Section 3(i) by the state and federal courts located in New York, New York and in connection therewith hereby waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, any claim that such resolution, settlement, order or award is inconsistent with or violative of the laws or public policy of the laws of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction.

(iii) In the event of any action or other proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by the court) shall be entitled to payment by the non-prevailing

party of all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing party, including any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any challenge to the jurisdiction or the convenience or propriety of venue of proceedings before any state or federal court located in New York, New York.
