AGREEMENT
CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in Schedule A.
FOUNDERS COMMITTEE
2.1 Formation; Membership. The Stockholders hereby form a committee (the “Founders Committee”) comprised of three of the Founders, which committee will exercise the rights permitted or required to be exercised by the Founders Committee hereunder. On the date of this Agreement, the three Founders serving on the Founders Committee are Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx. Any member of the Founders Committee may resign from such position by delivering written notice of such resignation to the Company and the other members of the Founders Committee. In the event of any vacancy on the Founders Committee for any reason other than a resignation, the remaining members of the Founders Committee shall provide the Company with written notice of such vacancy within three Business Days of its occurrence. Any vacancy in any of the three positions on the Founders Committee may be filled by the approval of a Majority-in-Interest of the Founders; provided that only a Founder may serve on the Founders Committee.
2.2 Actions by the Founders Committee. Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Founders Committee must be approved in writing by a majority of the Founders then serving on the Founders Committee; provided, however, that (a) if there are only two Founders serving on the Founders Committee at any time, any such decision, act, consent or instruction must be approved in writing by both of the Founders then serving on the Founders Committee and (b) if there is only one Founder serving on the Founders Committee at any time, any such decision, act, consent or instruction must be approved in writing by the sole Founder serving on the Founders Committee. The Company may conclusively rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction for purposes of this Agreement. No member of the Founders Committee will be held liable by any Stockholder for actions or omissions in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the power and authority of the Founders Committee pursuant to this Agreement, except in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct by such member. Each Founder will jointly and severally indemnify and defend each member of the Founders Committee from any losses arising out of a Founder serving as a member of the Founders Committee hereunder, except in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct by such member.
2.3 Consents and Waivers. In the event that the Company makes a written request for a consent or waiver of the Founders Committee required to be given under this Agreement and the Founders Committee does not respond to the request in a writing (signed by the requisite number of Founder(s) as provided in the first sentence of Section 2.2) within five Business Days following the date such written request is given (as provided in Section 8.1), the consent or waiver shall be deemed to be given for all purposes of this Agreement.
FOUNDERS’ BOARD RIGHTS
(a) So long as the Founders, collectively, hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Founders Committee shall have the right to nominate one person (the “Founders’ Designee”) for election to the Board. If the Founders Committee has the right to so nominate the Founders’ Designee in a given year, the Company shall, at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company during such year, nominate the Founders’ Designee for election; provided, however, that (i) such Founders’ Designee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Nominating Committee and (ii) the Company must receive timely notice of such nomination. To be timely, the Founders Committee’s notice of its nomination must be received by the Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary
2
of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the Founders Committee to be timely must be received by the Company not later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which Public Disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of timely notice as described above. As a condition to such nomination by the Founders Committee, the Founders’ Designee must complete and submit to the Board any questionnaires that the Company requires of its directors generally and submit any other information that the Company or the Nominating Committee reasonably requests in connection with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Laws or in connection with the satisfaction of the Nominating Committee’s fiduciary duties.
(b) If, following election to the Board, the Founders’ Designee resigns or is removed or his or her seat on the Board otherwise becomes vacant and the Founders Committee still has the right to nominate the Founders’ Designee for election to the Board pursuant to Section 3.1(e), then the Founders Committee shall be entitled to designate a replacement Founders’ Designee reasonably acceptable to the Nominating Committee and the Board, and the Board shall elect such replacement Founders’ Designee to the Board for the remainder of the term of the replaced Founders’ Designee and until such replacement’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. In determining whether such replacement Founders’ Designee is reasonably acceptable, the Nominating Committee and the Board may consider, among other things, whether the designation of such replacement is consistent with the exercise of their fiduciary duties.
(c) So long as the Founders, collectively, hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock and the Founders’ Designee is a member of the Board, the Founders Committee may designate the Founders’ Designee to serve on the Nominating Committee, provided that such Founders’ Designee satisfies all then-applicable independence and other requirements of membership on a board of directors and a nominating committee (or similar committee) imposed by the rules of the Principal Market (other than the requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) under the Exchange Act). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, such Founders’ Designee need not be an “independent director” (as defined in the rules of the Principal Market) until one year after the listing of the Common Stock on Nasdaq in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
(d) In the event that the Founders, collectively, cease to hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock during the term of the Founders’ Designee as a director, the Founders’ Designee shall not be required to resign solely as a result thereof and may continue the remainder of his or her term in office, but the Board shall have no further obligation to nominate any person for election to the Board, to designate any person to serve on the Nominating Committee or to designate a replacement Founders Designee under this Article III.
(e) From and after such time as the Founders, collectively, cease to hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock, the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1 (other than Section 3.1(d)) shall be of no further force or effect.
3.2 Nominations. So long as the Founders, collectively, hold at least 25% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Nominating Committee will consult with and seek the advice of the Founders Committee before recommending the nomination of any person for election to the Board, other than the Astro Designee (as defined below). From and after such time as the Founders, collectively, cease to hold at least 25% of the outstanding Common Stock, this Section 3.2 shall be of no further force or effect.
3
(a) So long as the Founders, collectively, hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock, each Founder covenants to, and agrees with, the Company that it will take all actions so that, (i) on any action to elect any director of the Company, all of the shares of Common Stock that are Beneficially Owned by such Founder shall be voted (or consented) in favor of any nominee to the Board recommended by the Board; and (ii) such Founder shall be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of stockholders of the Company at which directors will be elected so that all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by such Founder may be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting. Each Founder shall not grant any proxies, enter into any agreement or arrangement or nominate any individuals for election to the Board or take any other action with respect to shares of Common Stock that are Beneficially Owned by such Founder that would be inconsistent with his or her obligations, or that would provide any third party with the ability to exercise his or her rights, under this Agreement.
(b) Each Founder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants to, and appoints, the Company or any designee thereof as such Founder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Founder, to vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by such Founder as provided in Section 3.3(a). Each Founder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 3.3(b) is given in connection with the execution of the Contribution Agreement, the Psyop, Inc. Merger Agreement and the Psyop Services Member Consent, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Founder under this Agreement. Each Founder hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 3.3(b) is coupled with an interest and, except upon the time the Founders, collectively, cease to hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock, is intended to be irrevocable.
(c) From and after such time as the Founders, collectively, cease to hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock, this Section 3.3 shall be of no further force or effect.
3.4 Founders Observer. So long as the Founders, collectively, hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Founders Committee shall have the right to appoint one observer (the “Founders Observer”) to the Board who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Founders Observer shall be permitted to attend and observe all meetings (other than executive sessions) of (a) the Board and (b) if the Founders’ Designee does not serve on the Nominating Committee, the Nominating Committee. The Founders Observer shall not have the right to vote on any matter that comes before the Board or the Nominating Committee. The Founders Observer shall receive copies of all written materials distributed to the Board and shall receive notice of each meeting or action by written consent of the Board at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the Board. If the Founders’ Designee does not serve on the Nominating Committee, the Founders Observer shall receive copies of all written materials distributed to the Nominating Committee and shall receive notice of each meeting or action by written consent of the Nominating Committee at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the Nominating Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to withhold any information from the Founders Observer and exclude the Founders Observer from any meeting, or any portion thereof, (i) if the Company determines that such withholding or exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential competitively sensitive information or for other similar reasons, or (ii) if the Company believes in good faith that the Founders Observer has a conflict of interest. As a condition to the appointment of the Founders Observer, such Founders Observer shall execute a confidentiality agreement with the Company in customary form with respect to the information and discussions to which the Founders Observer will have access. From and after such time as the Founders, collectively, cease to hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock, the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 shall be of no further force or effect (except that such confidentiality agreement shall survive in accordance with its terms).
4
ASTRO’S BOARD RIGHTS
(a) So long as Astro holds more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, Astro shall have the right to nominate one person (the “Astro Designee”) for election to the Board. If Astro has the right to so nominate the Astro Designee in a given year, (i) the Board shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt of notice from Astro that it is exercising such right of nomination, appoint the Astro Designee to the Board in the class of directors in which the Astro Designee is required to be nominated for election by the Company under clause (ii), and (ii) the Company shall, at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company during such year, nominate the Astro Designee for election, and the Board shall recommend the Astro Designee for election; provided, however, that, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), (A) such Astro Designee satisfies all then-applicable independence and other requirements of membership on a board of directors and each of its committees imposed by the rules of the Principal Market (including the
5
requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) under the Exchange Act), (B) such Astro Designee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Nominating Committee, (C) rather than appointing the Astro Designee to the Board in the class of directors up for election in the year Astro exercises its right of nomination, in its sole discretion, the Board may appoint such Astro Designee to another class of directors so that the number of directors in each class is as nearly equal as possible and (D) the Company must receive timely notice of such nomination. To be timely, Astro’s notice of its nomination must be received by the Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by Astro to be timely must be received by the Company not later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which Public Disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of timely notice as described above. As a condition to such nomination by Astro, the Astro Designee must complete and submit to the Board any questionnaires that the Company requires of its directors generally and submit any other information that the Company or the Nominating Committee reasonably requests in connection with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Laws or in connection with the satisfaction of the Nominating Committee’s fiduciary duties.
(b) If, following election to the Board, the Astro Designee resigns or is removed or his or her seat on the Board otherwise becomes vacant and Astro still has the right to nominate the Astro Designee for election to the Board pursuant to Section 4.1(e), then Astro shall be entitled to designate a replacement Astro Designee reasonably acceptable to the Nominating Committee and the Board, and the Board shall elect such replacement Astro Designee to the Board for the remainder of the term of the replaced Astro Designee and until such replacement’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. In determining whether such replacement Astro Designee is reasonably acceptable, the Nominating Committee and the Board may consider, among other things, whether the designation of such replacement is consistent with the exercise of their fiduciary duties.
(c) So long as Astro holds more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock and the Astro Designee is a member of the Board, Astro may designate the Astro Designee to serve on the Audit Committee of the Board and the Board shall accept such designation, provided that such Astro Designee satisfies all then-applicable independence and other requirements of membership on a board of directors and an audit committee (or similar committee) imposed by the rules of the Principal Market (including the requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) under the Exchange Act).
(d) In the event that Astro ceases to hold more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock during the term of the Astro Designee as a director, if requested by the Board, Astro shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Astro Designee resign as a director and any failure of the Astro Designee to so resign at such time shall constitute “cause” for removal of such director by the other members of the Board. As a condition to the nomination of the Astro Designee, such Astro Designee shall execute and deliver to the Board an irrevocable letter of resignation to be deemed tendered upon the date that Astro ceases to hold more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
(e) From and after the date that Astro ceases to hold more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 (other than Section 4.1(d)) shall be of no further force or effect.
6
(a) From the date of on which Astro first exercises its right pursuant to Section 4.1(a) to nominate an Astro Designee to the Board and for so long as an Astro Designee serves on the Board and Astro holds more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, Astro covenants to, and agrees with, the Company that it will take all actions so that, (i) on any action to elect any director of the Company, all of the shares of Common Stock that are Beneficially Owned by Astro shall be voted (or consented) in favor of any nominee to the Board recommended by the Board; and (ii) Astro shall be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of stockholders of the Company at which directors will be elected so that all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by Astro may be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting. Astro shall not grant any proxies, enter into any agreement or arrangement or nominate any individuals for election to the Board or take any other action with respect to shares of Common Stock that are Beneficially Owned by Astro that would be inconsistent with its obligations, or that would provide any third party with the ability to exercise its rights, under this Agreement.
(b) Astro hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants to, and appoints, the Company or any designee thereof as Astro’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of Astro, to vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by Astro as provided in Section 4.2(a). Astro hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 4.2(b) is given in connection with the execution of the AADE Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of Astro under this Agreement. Astro hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 4.2(b) is coupled with an interest and, except upon the time this Section 4.2 ceases to have further force and effect under Section 4.2(c), is intended to be irrevocable.
(c) Upon the date that Astro ceases to hold more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, this Section 4.2 shall be of no further force or effect.
(a) So long as Astro holds more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, Astro shall have the right to appoint one observer (the “Astro Observer”) to each committee of the Board (other than the Audit Committee) who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Astro Observer shall be permitted to attend and observe all meetings (other than executive sessions) of each committee of the Board (other than the Audit Committee). The Astro Observer shall not have the right to vote on any matter that comes before the Board or any committee thereof. The Astro Observer shall receive copies of all written materials distributed to each committee of the Board (other than the Audit Committee) and shall receive notice of each meeting or action by written consent of each such committee at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to such committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to withhold any information from the Astro Observer and exclude the Astro Observer from any meeting, or any portion thereof, (i) if the Company determines that such withholding or exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential competitively sensitive information or for other similar reasons, or (ii) if the Company believes in good faith that the Astro Observer has a conflict of interest.
(b) From and after the date that Astro ceases to hold more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock through the date that Astro ceases to hold at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock issued to it pursuant to the AADE Merger Agreement, Astro shall have the right to appoint the Astro Observer to the Board who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Astro Observer shall be permitted to attend and observe all meetings (other than executive sessions) of the Board and each committee thereof. The Astro Observer shall not have the right to vote on any matter that comes before the
7
Board or any committee thereof. The Astro Observer shall receive copies of all written materials distributed to the Board and each committee thereof and shall receive notice of each meeting or action by written consent of the Board and each committee thereof at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the Board or such committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to withhold any information from the Astro Observer and exclude the Astro Observer from any meeting, or any portion thereof, (i) if the Company determines that such withholding or exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential competitively sensitive information or for other similar reasons, or (ii) if the Company believes in good faith that the Astro Observer has a conflict of interest.
(c) As a condition to the appointment of the Astro Observer, such Astro Observer shall execute a confidentiality agreement with the Company in customary form with respect to the information and discussions to which the Astro Observer will have access.
(d) From and after such time as Astro ceases to hold more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, the provisions of this Section 4.3(a) shall be of no further force or effect. From and after such time as Astro ceases to hold at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock issued to it pursuant to the AADE Merger Agreement, the provisions of Section 4.3(b) and 4.3(c) shall be of no further force or effect (except that the confidentiality agreement described above shall survive in accordance with its terms).
ACCESS RIGHTS
5.1 Access. So long as the Founders, collectively, hold at least 25% of the outstanding Common Stock, each member of the Founders Committee will have reasonable access, during normal business hours, with reasonable prior notice and so long as such access does not interfere with the operations of the Company or its subsidiaries, (a) to examine and make copies (at the Company’s expense) of the books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (b) to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (or their respective designee) to discuss the affairs, finances and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case, subject to such member’s entry into a confidentiality agreement with the Company in customary form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may place reasonable limitations on books and records that may be copied (e.g., in the case of sensitive information the dissemination of which could cause competitive harm to the Company or its subsidiaries). The Founders Committee shall be permitted to disclose information obtained from such access to another Founder; provided that such Founder enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Company in customary form.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and subject to Article VI, Section 7.4(a) and the provisions of the Lock-up Agreements, if (i) a Majority-in-Interest of the Stockholders (other than Astro) or (ii) Astro requests in writing registration under the Securities Act of any of their Registrable Securities (a “Registration”), which request specifies the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered, then within 10 days after receipt of any such request, the
10
Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and shall include in the Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. The registration requested pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration.”
(b) Not more than one Demand Registration in any one year period and not more than two Demand Registrations, in the aggregate, may be required of the Company pursuant to this Section 7.1. No request for a Demand Registration shall be permitted unless the Registrable Securities sought to be included in such Demand Registration have an aggregate expected market value of at least $2,000,000 (as determined in good faith by the Board). A registration shall not count as a Demand Registration until the registration statement relating thereto has become effective, and any Registration shall not count as a Demand Registration unless the initiating holder or holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 70% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1(a), if a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) in such offering advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and 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 covered by such registration, the Company shall include in the offering, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter(s), can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of the offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by each such holder; provided, that if the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the offering is less than 85% of the number requested to be so included, the holders of 662⁄3% of Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, the Demand Registration shall not count as a permitted Demand Registration hereunder, and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the withdrawn registration.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1(a), the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six months after the effective date of a registration statement for a registration demanded by the holders of registration rights in which the holders of Registrable Securities were given piggyback rights pursuant to Section 7.3 and in which there was no reduction in the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (except to the extent permitted under the provisions of Section 7.1(c) if such registration was treated as a Demand Registration for purposes of such provisions). The Company may postpone, for up to three months in any 12 month period, the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Board determines in good faith that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Demand Registration would have a material adverse effect on the Company or if the Company determines that it is required to disclose in the Demand Registration a financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar corporate transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting the Company or its securities, and that such disclosure of such information at such time would be seriously detrimental to the Company; provided, that, in such event, the holders of 662⁄3% of Registrable Securities covered by the Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, the Demand Registration shall not count as a permitted Demand Registration hereunder, and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the withdrawn registration. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during any postponement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall not be permitted to file a registration statement, to register for sale, or to conduct any registered securities offering (including any “take-downs” off of an effective shelf registration statement) of, any of its securities either for its own account or the account of any security holder or holders, in each case, other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor form or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use of such forms.
11
(e) If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering, the Company shall have the right to select the underwriters for such offering.
(a) Subject to Article VI, Section 7.4(a) and the provision of the Lock-up Agreements, and further subject to the Company’s eligibility to use a registration statement on Form S-3 (“Form S-3”), the Company shall, within 30 days of a written request from (i) a Majority-in-Interest of the holders of Registrable Securities other than Astro or (ii) Astro, use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the requesting holders and, thereafter, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. 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 shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. The registration requested pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) is referred to herein as a “Shelf Registration”. The Company may, not more than once in any 12 month period, postpone for up to three months the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Shelf Registration if the Board determines in good faith that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Shelf Registration would have a material adverse effect on the Company or if the Company determines that it is required to disclose in the Shelf Registration a financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar corporate transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting the Company or its securities, and that such disclosure of such information at such time would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during any postponement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall not be permitted to file a registration statement, to register for sale, or to conduct any registered securities offering (including any “take-downs” off of an effective shelf registration statement) of, any of its securities either for its own account or the account of any security holder or holders, in each case, other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor form or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use of such forms.
(b) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Form S-3 for a Shelf Registration continuously effective until the earlier of (i) one year after the Form S-3 is declared effective and (ii) the date on which there are no Registrable Securities registered thereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities, to require the holders to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days in succession or 180 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period (a “Suspension Period”) if the Company shall determine that it is required to disclose in the Shelf Registration a financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar corporate transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting the Company or its securities, and that such disclosure of such information at such time would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the holders of Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration shall suspend the use of the prospectus for such Shelf Registration until requisite
12
changes to the prospectus have been made as required below. Any Suspension Period shall terminate at such time as the Public Disclosure of such information or, if earlier, at such time as the Company determines that disclosure of such information would not be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders. After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or a supplement to the prospectus for the Shelf Registration or file any other required document to the extent necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be permitted to file a registration statement to register for sale, or to conduct any registered securities offering (including any “take-downs” off of an effective shelf registration statement) of, any of its securities, either for its own account or the account of any such security-holder during a Suspension Period, in each case, other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor form or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use of such forms.
(a) Subject to Article VI, Section 7.4(a) and the provision of the Lock-up Agreements, whenever the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for holders of securities other than holders of Registrable Securities) any of its Equity Securities for cash under the Securities Act and the registration statement to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (excluding, without limitation, a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor form or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use of such forms) (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of the Company’s intention to effect such a registration and shall include in the registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Piggyback Registration initiated under this Section 7.3 prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement related thereto whether or not any holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration.
(b) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration and securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration pursuant to other registration rights granted by the Company pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities and other securities on the basis of the number of securities requested to be registered by each such holder, and (iii) third, such other securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration.
(c) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary offering on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting the Piggyback Registration, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration pursuant to
13
demand registration rights granted by the Company, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration and securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration pursuant to other piggyback registration rights granted by the Company pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities and such other securities on the basis of the number of shares requested to be registered by each such holder.
(d) If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the Company shall select the underwriters for the offering.
7.4 Underwriters’ Lock-Up Agreements.
(a) Each Stockholder agrees in connection with any underwritten offering of securities of the Company (whether or not such Stockholder is participating in such offering) not to effect (other than pursuant to such offering) any sale, transfer or distribution of the securities of the Company, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, or make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such securities, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter(s) for such offering for a customary period to be determined by such managing underwriter(s); provided that such restrictions shall not exceed 90 days after the consummation of the offering. Each Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or such managing underwriter(s) which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto; provided that if such Stockholder fails to execute and deliver such other agreements, each Stockholder agrees that the restrictions imposed by this Section 7.4(a) shall be specifically enforceable by the Company and such underwriters. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions and may stamp each such certificate with appropriate legends with respect to the securities of the Company subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the applicable restricted period.
(b) To the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s) for any underwritten offering of securities of the Company, the Company agrees not to effect (other than pursuant to such offering) any sales of securities of the Company, or make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such securities, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter(s); provided that such restrictions shall not exceed 90 days after the consummation of the offering. If requested by such managing underwriter(s), the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each director and executive officer of the Company to agree to restrictions on the sale, transfer or distribution of securities of the Company substantially similar to those contained in the first sentence of Section 7.4(a).
(a) Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Article VII, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:
(i) Prepare and, in the case of a Demand Registration, no later than 60 days after a request for a Demand Registration, file with the Commission, a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective and remain effective until the earlier of (A) the date
14

(ii) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for the period referred to in Section 7.2(b) or Section 7.5(a)(i) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) Furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in the registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holder;
(iv) Use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such domestic jurisdictions as any holder thereof reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(v) Notify each holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such holder, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to the prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(x) Upon execution of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, make available for inspection by any holder of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such holder or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the registration statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable such holder or underwriter to maintain a due diligence defense in connection with the registration;
(xi) Otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(xii) Make every commercially reasonable effort to prevent the entry of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any security included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;
(xiii) Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities under “blue sky” laws as may be necessary to enable the holders thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(xv) Make available on a reasonable basis senior management personnel of the Company to participate in, and cause them to cooperate with the managing underwriter(s) in any underwritten offering in connection with “road show” and other customary marketing activities, including “one-on-one” meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities to be sold in the underwritten offering and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto, in each case to the same extent as if the Company were engaged in a primary registered offering of its capital stock;
(xvi) Provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the registration statement; and
(xvii) In connection with an underwritten offering, (A) make such representations and warranties to the selling holders of such Registrable Securities and the underwriters with respect to the Registrable Securities and the registration statement as are customarily made by issuers to selling holders or underwriters, as applicable, in comparable offerings, (B) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel and which opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters) addressed to the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters or their counsel, (C) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Company’s independent certified public accountants addressed to the underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters by underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, and (D) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters to evidence compliance with clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company.

(i) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Article VII, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by the Company, and the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any D&O liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which such securities are listed.
(ii) In connection with each Demand Registration, each Shelf Registration and each Piggyback Registration, the Company shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities
17
covered by such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to all holders of Registrable Securities which shall be chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration (which in no event shall exceed $50,000 in the aggregate for each such registration).
(iii) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the Company, each holder of securities included in any registration hereunder shall pay those expenses allocable to the registration of the holder’s securities so included, and any expenses not so allocable shall be borne by all sellers of securities included in the registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, as the case may be, and each Person who controls the holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any 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, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein as provided in Section 7.6(b). In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall, to the extent required in the applicable underwriting agreement, indemnify the underwriters, their officers and directors, as the case may be, and each Person who controls the underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.
(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each holder shall furnish to the Company in writing information regarding such holder, the Registrable Securities and the intended method of distribution thereof for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance required in connection with this Article VII and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities 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 furnished in writing by the holder specifically stating that it has been provided for inclusion in the registration statement and not corrected in a subsequent writing prior to the sale of the Registrable Securities; provided, that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual to each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the 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 and (ii) unless in the indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between the indemnified and the indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit the 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
18
indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 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 the indemnifying party with respect to such claim.
(d) The indemnification provided for under this Article VII 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 and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) The holders of Registrable Securities included on any registration statement agree that if, for any reason, the indemnification provisions contemplated by this Article VII are unavailable to or are insufficient to hold harmless any indemnified party in respect of all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (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 all such expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of, and benefits derived by, 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 by such 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 contributions pursuant to this Section 7.6(e) were determined (i) by pro rata allocation (even if the holders of Registrable Securities included on a registration statement or any agents for, or underwriters of, the Registrable Securities, or all of them, were treated as one entity for such purpose); or (ii) by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7.6(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include (subject to any limitations set forth thereon) any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action, proceeding 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation for contribution hereunder shall be individual to each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the holder from such sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement.
7.7 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless the Person (a) agrees to accept the terms of the underwriting agreement as agreed upon by the Company and the underwriters selected in accordance with this Article VII, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, however, that this Section 7.7 will not require any holder of Registrable Securities to agree to any lock-up agreement or market standoff agreement other than those permitted by Section 7.4(a) and 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 the holder and the holder’s intended method of distribution.
19
7.8 Reports Under The Securities Laws. With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144, so long as any Registrable Securities are outstanding, the Company agrees to use 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 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement covering the Company’s initial public offering;
(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner (taking into account all valid extensions) 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; and
(c) Furnish to any holder so long as the holder owns any of the Registrable Securities forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement covering the Company’s initial public offering), 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 any the holder in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission permitting the selling of any the securities without registration (except the Company need not provide such copies if they are publicly available on the Commissions XXXXX database).
7.9 Certain Limitations in Connection with Future Grants of Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company providing for the granting to the holder of registration rights unless the agreement (a) includes as a term the equivalent of Section 7.3(c); and (b) is otherwise not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Article VII.
7.10 Transfer Of Registration Rights.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (provided, that if, and only after, such court determines that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such legal action, suit or proceeding, such legal action, suit or proceeding shall be brought in the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware or any of the courts of the State of Delaware) and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts, (b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) in any such courts, (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such legal action, suit or proceeding in any such courts and (d) agrees that a final judgment in any such legal action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

8.8 Severability. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof, contained in this Agreement shall be unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be deemed limited to the extent that such court deems it enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that such court shall deem any such provision, or portion thereof, wholly unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

22

Unless otherwise specified, all references to “$” shall be deemed to be references to the lawful currency of the United States.
8.11 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of the party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.
8.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile, e-mail or similar means of electronic communication), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one agreement.

8.14 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur and that the a party may not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party shall without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages or posting a bond be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms, provisions and covenants contained therein, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
