REGISTRATION RIGHTS
2.01 Demand Registrations.
(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time the applicable holders of Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration (“Long-Form Registrations”) in accordance with Section 2.01(b) or, if available, on Form S-3 (including a Shelf Registration) or any similar short-form registration (“Short-Form Registrations”) in accordance with Section 2.01(c). All registrations requested by the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) as further set forth in Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) are referred to herein as “Demand Registrations.” Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered, the anticipated per share price range for such offering and the intended method of distribution. Within 10 days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms of Section 2.01(d), shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws and in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.
(b) Long-Form Registrations. The holders of a majority of the Summit Registrable Securities shall be entitled to demand two Long-Form Registrations and the holders of a majority of the Continuing Investor Registrable Securities shall be entitled to demand three Long-Form Registrations; provided that the aggregate offering value of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in any Long-Form Registration must equal at least $10,000,000; provided further that any Demand Registration with respect to the Initial Public Offering shall require the approval of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses with respect to Long-Form Registrations. A registration shall not count against the total number of permitted Long-Form Registrations provided for in this Section 2.01(b) until it has become effective and unless the holders of Registrable Securities requesting such registration are able to register and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; provided that in any event the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Long-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such registration has counted against the total number of permitted Long-Form Registrations provided for in this Section 2.01(b); provided further that no Demand Registration shall be deemed to be a Long-Form Registration whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. All Long-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations unless otherwise approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting registration.
- 8 -
(c) Short-Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to Section 2.01(b), any holders of the Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses, whether or not any such registration has become effective; provided that the aggregate offering value of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in any Short-Form Registration must equal at least $5,000,000 and the request must be made by holders with respect to at least 5% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. If the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting a Short-Form Registration request that such Short-Form Registration be filed pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”), and if the Company is qualified to do so, then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. If for any reason the Company ceases to be a WKSI or becomes ineligible to utilize Form S-3, then the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission one or more registration statements on such form that is available for the sale of Registrable Securities. All Short-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations unless otherwise approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting registration.
(d) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration, then the Company shall include in such registration only that number of securities which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering within such price range, with priority for inclusion to be determined as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be included in such registration, the inclusion of which the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration have consented in writing, which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of such securities owned by each such holder.
(e) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration (i) within 180 days after the effective date of the Initial Public Offering or a Company-initiated Long Form Registration, (ii) within 90 days after the effective date of a Company-initiated Short-Form Registration, or (iii) within 180 days after the effective date of a Long-Form Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.01(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Short-Form Registration requested pursuant to Section 2.01(c) if the Company has effected two such Short-Form Registrations within the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of such request. The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Board (or any successor governing body) reasonably determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in
- 9 -
any material acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or securities, or any material financing, sale, merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or similar material transaction; provided that in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting the Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request for a Long-Form Registration is so withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count against the total number of permitted Long-Form Registrations provided for in Section 2.01(b) and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration hereunder only once in any consecutive twelve-month period.
(f) Selection of Underwriters. The Company shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the Initial Public Offering and in connection with any subsequent Demand Registration, in each case, in consultation with the holders of a majority of the Summit Registrable Securities and the holders of a majority of the Continuing Investor Registrable Securities, and with the approval of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(g) Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or otherwise bound by, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as provided to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities, options or rights convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Summit Registrable Securities and the holders of a majority of the Continuing Investor Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided that the Company may grant rights to participate in any Piggyback Registrations so long as such rights are subordinate in priority to the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities with respect to Piggyback Registrations as provided in Section 2.02(c) and Section 2.02(d), and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms and conditions hereof.
2.02 Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Demand Registration or a registration on Form S-8 or any successor form) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 2.02(c) and Section 2.02(d), shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that the Company shall not include in any Piggyback Registration that is an underwritten offering any securities that are held by an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person controlled by any such employee without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters. Notwithstanding the above, in the case of a registration in connection with an Initial Public Offering initially filed prior to December 31, 2011, written notice by the Company of its proposal to register its securities need not be delivered to holders of Registrable Securities until after the initial filing by the Company of a registration statement under the Securities Act to register such securities and the Company shall include in such registration statement all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 days after receipt of the Company’s notice, subject to the limitations and priorities set forth in this Section 2.02.
- 10 -
(b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration has become effective.
(c) Priority on Primary Piggyback Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and if the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then the Company shall include in such registration only that number of securities which in the opinion of the underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering at such price and with such timing or method of distribution, with priority for inclusion to be determined as follows: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, any Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, which in the opinion of the underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner without such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration, which in the opinion of the underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner without such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of such securities owned by each such holder; provided, however, that in no event may less than 25% of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such underwriting be made available for Registrable Securities unless the managing underwriter in good faith shall advise the Company that such level of participation in its opinion would adversely affect the offering price or its ability to complete the offering and shall specify the number of Registrable Securities which, in its opinion, may be included in such registration and underwriting without such effect.
(d) Priority on Secondary Piggyback Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities other than holders of Registrable Securities, and if the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then the Company shall include in such registration only that number of securities which in the opinion of the underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering at such price and with such timing or method of distribution, with priority for inclusion to be determined as follows: (i) first, the securities requested to be included in such registration by the holders requesting such registration and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, which in the opinion of the underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner without such adverse effect, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of such securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be included in such registration, which in the opinion of the underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner without such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of securities owned by each such holder; provided, however, that in no event may less than 25% of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such underwriting be made available for Registrable Securities unless the managing underwriter in good faith shall advise the Company that such level of participation in its opinion would adversely affect the offering price or its ability to complete the offering and shall specify the number of Registrable Securities which, in its opinion, may be included in such registration and underwriting without such effect.
(e) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, then the Company will select investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering, in
- 11 -
consultation with the holders of a majority of the Summit Registrable Securities and the holders of a majority of the Continuing Investor Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration and with the approval of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(f) Other Registrations. If the Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 or pursuant to this Section 2.02, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then the Company shall not file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-8 or any successor form), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least 180 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration.

(a) No holder of Registrable Securities shall (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (including equity securities of the Company that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (collectively, “Securities”), (ii) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect as described in clause (i), (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Sale Transaction”), or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, in any such case during the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO Holdback Period”), except as part of the Initial Public Offering, and, if approved by the holders of a majority of the Summit Registrable Securities and the holders of a majority of the Continuing Investor Registrable Securities, during the seven days prior to and the 120-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or underwritten Piggyback Registration (the “Follow-On Holdback Period”), except as part of any such underwritten registration, unless the underwriters managing the Initial Public Offering otherwise agree in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.03(a) shall not be applicable to or otherwise be binding on the holders of Registrable Securities unless the Company complies with its obligations under Section 2.03(b) in connection with any such offering. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of its common stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction during any IPO Holdback Period or any Follow-On Holdback Period. If (x)(A) the Company issues an earnings release or discloses other material information or a material event relating to the Company occurs during the last 17 days of the IPO Holdback Period or a Follow-On Holdback Period (as applicable) or (B) prior to the expiration of the IPO Holdback Period or a Follow-On Holdback Period (as applicable), the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning upon the expiration of such period, and (y) the underwriting agreement provides for extension of any lockup or holdback period to the extent necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering required hereunder to comply with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) (or any successor thereto) then the IPO Holdback Period or a Follow-On Holdback Period (as applicable) will be extended until 18 days after the earnings release or disclosure of other material information or the occurrence of the material event, as the case may be (a “Holdback Extension”). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of its common stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction during any IPO Holdback Period, any Follow-On Holdback Period or any period of Holdback Extension
- 12 -

2.05 Certain Obligations of Holders of Registrable Securities. Each holder of Registrable Securities that sells such securities pursuant to a registration under this Agreement agrees as follows:
(a) Such holder (if such holder is an employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of its affiliates) shall cooperate with the Company (as reasonably requested by the Company) in connection with the preparation of the registration statement, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration statement, each holder of Registrable Securities that is participating in such registration shall provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the applicable registration statement, all such information regarding such holder and its plan of distribution of such securities as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare the registration statement and prospectus covering such securities, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.

2.07 Indemnification.
(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, managers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or related to any of the following statements, omissions or violations by the Company: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this Section 2.07, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and to pay to each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, managers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and
- 17 -
employees and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company or any managing underwriter by such holder expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify any underwriters or deemed underwriters, their officers, managers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities (or to such lesser extent that may be agreed to between the underwriters and the Company).
(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company and the managing underwriter in writing such information and affidavits as the Company or the managing underwriter reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, managers and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder expressly for use therein; provided that in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction decides against any such allegations of untrue statements or omissions of a material fact, such holders shall be reimbursed for any amounts previously paid hereunder with respect to such allegations; and provided further that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited for each seller to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration and held by such conflicting indemnified parties, at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the 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 such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
- 18 -
(d) Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 2.07(a) or Section 2.07(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact 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 such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.07(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 2.07(e), defending any such action or claim. 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. The sellers’ obligations in this Section 2.07(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of securities registered by them and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.
(e) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification and contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, manager or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
(f) No indemnifying party shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
2.08 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s title to the securities and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.07, or to agree to any lock-up or holdback restrictions, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.03(a).
- 19 -
2.09 Other Agreements. At all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and shall take such further action as the Investors may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such Persons to sell securities pursuant to (a) Rule 144 or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) a registration statement on Form S-3 or any similar registration form hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon reasonable request, the Company shall deliver to the Investors a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. The Company shall at all times after it has consummated an Initial Public Offering use its reasonable best efforts to cause the securities so registered to be listed on one or more of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market.
2.10 Subsidiary Public Offering. If, after an Initial Public Offering of the capital stock or other equity securities of one of its subsidiaries, the Company distributes securities of such subsidiary to its equity holders, then the rights of holders hereunder and the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such subsidiary, and the Company shall cause such subsidiary to comply with such subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement.

No Summit Investor shall agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the Transaction Documents that would treat Mainsail differently than any other Summit Investors.
