REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
2.1 The Company agrees to file under the Securities Act, as soon as reasonably possible after the first anniversary of the closing of the Offering or, with respect to the offer and sale of the Formation Shares, the Additional Initial Investment or any Management Fee Investments, at such earlier time as the Manager reasonably requests, a Shelf Registration Statement (the “Initial Shelf Registration Statement”) providing for the registration, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis (including through brokers and dealers) by the Manager, of the Registrable Shares it owns on such filing date, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective as soon as possible after the filing of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective throughout the Effective Period subject to Section 4.2.
So long as the Manager holds Registrable Shares or can be reasonably foreseen to acquire Registrable Shares pursuant to future Management Fee Investments that have not been previously registered pursuant hereto the Company agrees, upon request of the Manager, to use its best efforts to file one or more subsequent Shelf Registration Statements (each, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) (which may include Registrable Securities covered by a prior Shelf Registration Statement) providing for the registration, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis (including through brokers and dealers) by the Manager, of all such Registrable Shares, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission;
Page 72 of 94
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file more than four (4) such subsequent Shelf Registration Statements in any twelve-month period. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause each Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective as soon as possible after the filing of the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and to keep the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective throughout the Effective Period subject to Section 4.2.
The Manager shall be named as a selling security holder in such Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit the Manager to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Shares in accordance with applicable law.
2.2 The Company further agrees that it shall cause each Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act; and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the related Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. If any Shelf Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time, ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during an Effective Period (other than because all Registrable Shares registered thereunder shall have been sold pursuant thereto or shall have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof.
2.3 The Manager agrees that if it wishes to sell Registrable Shares pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance with this Section 2.3. The Manager agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire, a form of which is attached as Schedule 1 to this Agreement (the “Notice and Questionnaire”), to the Company at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing of any Shelf Registration Statement.
SECTION 3
PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION
3.1 Right to Piggyback.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time after the closing of the Offering, whenever the Company proposes to register, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, any shares of Trust Stock under the Securities Act and the form of registration statement (the “Company Registration Statement”) to be used, may be used for the registration of Registrable Shares (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Manager of the Company’s intention to effect such a registration and shall include in the Company Registration Statement all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Manager has provided the Company with a written request for inclusion therein within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.
Page 73 of 94
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to notify the Manager or
include Registrable Shares in any registration on (i) Form X-0, X-0 or S-8, or their successor
forms, under the Securities Act relating solely to stock purchase or other equity plans, (ii) Form
S-4 or successor forms relating solely to a transaction within the scope of Rule 145, or (iii) any
other form (other than Form
X-0, X-0, X-0, XX-0 or SB-2, or their successor forms) that does not
include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a Shelf
Registration Statement covering a registration pursuant to Section 2 above.
(c) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Company Registration Statement initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such Company Registration Statement, whether or not the Manager has elected to include securities in such Company Registration Statement.
3.2 Underwriting.
If the Company Registration Statement with respect to which the Company gives notice is for a public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Manager as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1(a). In such event, the right of the Manager to be named selling security holder in a Company Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon the Manager’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Manager’s Registrable Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Company and the Manager shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, with the underwriters selected by the Company.
3.3 Cutback.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3 to the contrary, if the representative of the underwriters determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters and the Company may limit the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the Company Registration Statement and underwriting. In the event of any such limitation of the number of shares of Trust Stock to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise the Manager, and the number of shares included in such Company Registration Statement and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company for securities being sold for its own account and thereafter to the Manager. If the Manager disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, and such Registrable Shares shall be withdrawn from such Company Registration Statement.

The foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Manager or underwriter, or any person controlling the Manager, or underwriter, from whom the persons asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Manager or underwriter to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.
7.2 Indemnification by the Manager.
The Manager will, as to each registration in which the Manager participates, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the Manager, each of its officers, directors and partners and each person controlling the Manager, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any preliminary
Page 81 of 94
Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), and will reimburse the Company, and each of its directors, officers, partners, underwriters and controlling persons for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in any such Registration Statement as originally filed or any amendment thereof, preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Manager (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) that the total amount for which the Manager shall be liable under this Section 7.2. shall not in any event exceed the aggregate net proceeds received by the Manager from the sale of Registrable Shares held by the Manager in such registration.
7.3 Indemnification Procedures.
Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party proposed to conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s election and expense; provided further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, unless such failure resulted in prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; and provided further, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by counsel for the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to all Indemnified Parties of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
7.4 Survival; Contribution.
(a) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of securities. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses,
Page 82 of 94
claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the circumstances that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement shall control.
SECTION 8
PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS
8.1 No person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless the person (i) agrees to accept the terms of the underwriting agreement as agreed upon by the Company and the underwriters selected in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
SECTION 9
REPORTS UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS
9.1 With a view to making available to the Manager the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Manager to sell shares of Trust Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times subsequent to ninety (90) days after the effective date of any registration statement covering an underwritten public offering filed under the Securities Act by the Company;
(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it is subject to the reporting requirements thereof; and

Page 83 of 94
(90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Manager in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission permitting the selling of any of the securities without registration.
SECTION 10
TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The Company may prohibit the transfer of the Manager’s rights under this Section to any proposed transferee or assignee who the Company reasonably believes is a competitor of the Company.
