(c) Priority in Registration. If a Requested Registration is an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriters shall give written advice to the Holders and the Company that, in their opinion, market conditions dictate that no more than a specified maximum number of securities (the “Underwriter’s Maximum Number”) could successfully be included in such registration without having an adverse effect on the success of the offering (including, without limitation, an impact on the selling price or the number of Registrable Securities that may be sold within a price range acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration), then the Company shall be required to include in such registration only such number of securities as is equal to the Underwriter’s Maximum Number (“Requested Registration Cutback”) and the Company and the Holders will participate in such offering in the following order of priority:
(i) First, there shall be included in such registration that number of Investor Registrable Securities and Management Member Registrable Securities that the Investors and the Management Members, respectively, shall have requested to be included in such offering and that does not exceed the Underwriter’s Maximum Number; provided, however, that no Management Member will be entitled to participate in any such registration if the managing underwriter shall determine in good faith that the participation of such Management Member would adversely affect the marketability of the securities being sold in such registration.
(ii) Second, the Company shall be entitled to include in such registration that number of securities that it proposes to offer and sell for its own account to the full extent of the remaining portion of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number.
In the event that a Requested Registration Cutback results in less than all of the securities with the same priority that are requested to be included in such registration actually being included in such registration, then the number of securities of such priority that will be included in such registration shall be shared pro rata among all of the Holders of Registrable Securities of such priority that were requested to be included in such registration based on the relative number of shares of Securities originally requested to be included in such offering by such Holder of such priority; provided, however, that solely during the Transfer Restriction Period (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) the number of securities of such priority that will be included in such registration shall be shared pro rata among all of the Holders of Registrable Securities of such priority that were requested to be included in such registration based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by such Holder of such priority following the Restructuring (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering.

SECTION 2.2 Incidental Registrations.
(a) Incidental Registration. If the Company for itself or any of its security holders shall (except for the Initial Public Offering or registrations under Sections 2.1(a)(i) or 2.1(b)(i), which shall not be deemed registrations for the purposes of this Section 2.2) at any time or times after the date hereof undertake to register under the Securities Act any shares of its capital stock or other securities (other than (i) the registration of an offer, sale or other disposition of securities solely to employees of, or other Persons providing services to, the Company, or any subsidiary pursuant to an employee or similar benefit plan registered on Form S-8 or similar or successor forms promulgated by the Commission or (ii) relating to a merger, acquisition or other transaction of the type described in Rule 145 under the Securities Act or a comparable or successor rule, registered on Form S-4 or similar or successor forms promulgated by the Commission), on each such occasion the Company will notify each Holder of such determination or request at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such registration statement, and upon the request of any Holder given in writing within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such notice, subject to Sections 2.2(b) and (c), the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts as soon as practicable thereafter to cause any of the Registrable Securities specified by any such Holder to be included in such registration statement to the extent such registration is permissible under the Securities Act and subject to the conditions of the Securities Act (an “Incidental Registration”). If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any Incidental Registration filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Incidental Registration as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(b) Withdrawal or Delay of Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after giving notice of its intention to undertake a registration in accordance with Section 2.2(a) above, and before the effectiveness of any Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company determines for any reason either not to effect such registration or to delay such registration, the Company may, at its election, by delivery of a written notice to each holder of Registrable Securities:
(i) In the case of a determination not to effect such registration, relieve itself of its obligation to include the Registrable Securities in connection with such registration; or
(ii) In the case of a determination to delay such registration, delay the inclusion of such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in such registration.
9
(c) Priority in Registration. If an Incidental Registration is an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriters shall give written advice to the Holders and the Company that, in their opinion, market conditions dictate that no more than a Underwriter’s Maximum Number could successfully be included in such registration without having an adverse effect on the success of the offering (including, without limitation, an impact on the selling price or the number of Registrable Securities that may be sold within a price range acceptable to the Company or the security holders who initiated such Incidental Registration, as the case may be), then the Company shall be required to include in such registration only such number of securities as is equal to the Underwriter’s Maximum Number (“Incidental Registration Cutback”) and the Company and the Holders will participate in such offering in the following order of priority:
(i) First, the Company shall be entitled to include in such registration that number of securities that the Company proposes to offer and sell for its own account in such registration and that does not exceed the Underwriter’s Maximum Number.
(ii) Second, the Company will be obligated and required to include in such registration that number of Investor Registrable Securities and Management Member Registrable Securities that the Investors and Management Members, respectively, shall have requested to be included in such offering and that does not exceed the Underwriter’s Maximum Number; provided, however, that no Management Member will be entitled to participate in any such registration if the managing underwriter shall determine in good faith that the participation of such Management Member would adversely affect the marketability of the securities being sold in such registration.
In the event that an Incidental Registration Cutback results in less than all of the securities with the same priority that are requested to be included in such registration to actually be included in such registration, then the number of securities of such priority that will be included in such registration shall be shared pro rata among all of the Holders of Registrable Securities of such priority that were requested to be included in such registration based on the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder of such priority; provided, however, that solely during the Transfer Restriction Period (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) the number of securities of such priority that will be included in such registration shall be shared pro rata among all of the Holders of Registrable Securities of such priority that were requested to be included in such registration based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by such Holder of such priority following the Restructuring (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Investor Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering.
SECTION 2.3 Underwriting. If a Requested Registration or an Incidental Registration is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s acceptance of the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters, execution of an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriters, as approved by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.
SECTION 2.4 Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with all Incidental Registrations and all Requested Registrations effected in accordance with this Article II. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any Registration Expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if a registration request initiated by the Holders under Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(b) is
10
subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be registered in the withdrawn registration) unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered elect in writing to treat such withdrawn registration as an effective registration for purposes of the limitation on the number of permissible Requested Registrations; provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and they have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such Registration Expenses and such withdrawn registration shall not be considered to have become effective for purposes of any limitation on the number of permissible Requested Registrations.
SECTION 2.5 Effective Registration Statement. A Requested Registration or an Incidental Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, respectively, shall not be deemed to have been effected unless the registration statement filed with respect thereto in accordance with the Securities Act has become effective with the Commission and kept effective in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1(c) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a registration statement will not be deemed to have become effective if (a) after it has become effective with the Commission, such registration is made subject to any stop order, injunction, or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or any court proceeding for any reason other than a misrepresentation or omission by any Holder, or (b) the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied, other than solely by reason of some act or omission by any Holder.
SECTION 2.6 Jurisdictional Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect registration, qualification or compliance with respect to its Registrable Securities:
(a) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as required by the Securities Act;
(b) That would require it to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not already so qualified or obligated to qualify; or
(c) That would subject it to taxation in a jurisdiction in which it is not already subject generally to taxation.

(a) The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold under such registration statement to furnish the Company with such information as it may reasonably request in writing (i) regarding such Holder’s proposed distribution of such securities and (ii) as required in connection with any registration (including an amendment to a registration statement or prospectus), qualification or compliance referred to in this Article III. The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any registration statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus used in connection therewith, which refers to any seller of any Registrable Securities covered thereby by name, or otherwise identifies such seller as the holder of any Registrable Securities, without the consent of such seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, unless such disclosure is required by law.

In the event the Company or any such Holder shall give any such notice, the period referred to in Section 3.1(c) shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days during the period from and including the giving of notice pursuant to Section 3.1(c) to and including the date when such Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1(i).
ARTICLE IV
UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS
SECTION 4.1 Underwritten Offerings.
(a) Underwritten Offering. In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration requested under Section 2.1, the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement (and any other customary agreements) with the underwriters for such offering, such
15
agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, the Company and such underwriters in their reasonable judgment and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type, including, without limitation, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 5.1. The Company will also take all such other actions as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration or the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities (including effecting a stock split or combination of shares and the participation of senior management in so-called “road shows” and similar events). No Holder participating in any such underwritten offering shall be required by the provisions hereof to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law. No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved pursuant to this Section 4.1 and (ii) accurately completes in all material respects and in a timely manner, and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, such underwriting agreement and other documents reasonably and customarily required under the terms of such underwriting agreement.
(b) Selection of Underwriters. Whenever a Requested Registration is an underwritten offering, the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration will have the right to select the managing underwriter to administer the offering.
SECTION 4.2 Holdback Agreements.
(a) Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon request of the Company or the managing underwriters of any underwritten offering, (i) such Holder will not effect directly or indirectly (except as part of such underwritten registration in accordance with the provisions hereof or pursuant to a transaction exempt from registration (other than under Rule 144 or Rule 145 of the Securities Act)) any sale, distribution, short sale, loan, grant of options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of, any Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, (a) in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering, for the seven (7) day period prior to, and during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following, the effective date of such registration, and (b) in connection with any other underwritten offering pursuant to a registration requested under Section 2.1, for the seven (7) day period prior to, and during the ninety (90) day period following (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the managing underwriters), the effective date of such registration (each such period in clauses (a) and (b), a “Holdback Period”), and (ii) such Holder shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriters as are consistent with the foregoing. The Holdback Period may be extended for up to eighteen (18) days, as the Company or the managing underwriters shall request in order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711 or any successor or similar rule or regulation. Each Holder further agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to place stop transfer notations in its records to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.2(a). The restrictions contained in this Section 4.2(a) shall be conditioned on each officer, director of the
16
Company and holder of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for one percent (1%) or more of its Common Stock (determined in all instances on a fully diluted basis) being bound by substantially the same restrictions as are set forth in this Section 4.2(a). If such restrictions are waived or shortened by the managing underwriters or the Company for any Holder or any other party bound thereto, the restrictions of this Section 4.2(a) shall also be waived or shortened for all Investors in the same manner on a pro rata basis (calculated including the shares held by the party bound by such similar agreement).
(b) After receipt of notice of a Requested Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company shall not initiate, without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, a registration of any of its securities for its own account until ninety (90) days after such registration has become effective or such registration has been terminated (other than (i) the registration of an offer, sale or other disposition of securities solely to employees of, or other Persons providing services to, the Company, or any subsidiary pursuant to an employee or similar benefit plan registered on Form S-8 or similar or successor forms promulgated by the Commission or (ii) relating to a merger, acquisition or other transaction of the type described in Rule 145 under the Securities Act or a comparable or successor rule, registered on Form S-4 or similar or successor forms promulgated by the Commission).
ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
SECTION 5.1 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Article II of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold under such registration statement, each such Holder’s directors, officers, employees, members, partners, agents, legal counsel and independent accountants, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities (if so required by such underwriter as a condition to including the Registrable Securities of the Holders in such registration) and each other Person, if any, who controls any such Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon 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 prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein or any document incorporated therein by reference, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading, or arise out of any violation by the
17
Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or state securities law applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, however that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by, or on behalf of, any Indemnified Party specifically for use therein.
(b) Indemnification by the Holders. As a condition to including any Registrable Securities of any Person in any registration statement filed pursuant to Article II, each holder of Registrable Securities, to the extent permitted by law, hereby agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in subdivision (a) of this Section 5.1 the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if, and only if, such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company directly by, or on behalf of, such Person specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, however, that the aggregate obligations of any Holder under this Section 5.1(b) and Section 5.1(g) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of Registrable Securities sold in the offering covered by such registration, unless such liability arises out of or is based upon such Holder’s willful misconduct.
(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5.1, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against a party required to provide indemnification (each, an “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”), give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation under the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5.1, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such claim,
18
the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party 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 or that imposes any ongoing restrictions or covenants pertaining to the Indemnified Party.
(d) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5.1 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration statement to each other and any underwriter, as applicable, with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the Securities Act.
(e) Indemnification Payment. The indemnification required by this Section 5.1 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
(f) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Company and of the Holders under this Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(g) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 5.1 an amount or additional amount, as the case may be, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, demands or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or parties, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Party, on the other, and the parties’ relative, intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid to an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this Article V; provided, however, that the aggregate obligations of any Holder under this Section 5.1(g) and Section 5.1(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of Registrable Securities sold in the offering covered by such registration. 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.

ARTICLE VI
COMPANY COVENANTS
SECTION 6.1 Covenants Relating to Rule 144; Reports Under The Exchange Act.

(i) To make and keep public information available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(ii) To take such actions after the closing of the IPO as are necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Commission Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities as soon as the Company is eligible to use Commission Form S-3;

The Company shall not grant to any Person any registration rights more favorable than, pari passu with or inconsistent with any of those contained herein, so long as any of the registration rights under this Agreement remain in effect; provided, however, that if any such more favorable, pari passu or inconsistent rights would materially and adversely affect the rights of one or more Holders (the “Section 6.2 Adversely Affected Holders”) in a way that is
20
materially different from the other Holders, the grant of such registration rights amendment shall require the consent of a majority in interest of the Section 6.2 Adversely Affected Holders measured by their relative holdings of Units or Registrable Securities.
