(a) Filing and Effectiveness of Shelf Registration Statement. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement and unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Company and the Shareholders holding a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) prepare, file and cause to be declared effective by the SEC (if such Registration Statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement), (x) within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Restricted Period, a Registration Statement in the form of a Short-Form Registration (if the Company is then eligible for the same), or (y) within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Restricted Period, a Registration Statement in the form of a Long-Form Registration (if the Company is not then eligible for a Short-Form Registration), as applicable, covering the sale or distribution from time to time by the Shareholders pursuant to a plan of distribution acceptable to Shareholders holding a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, of all of the Registrable Securities; and (ii) cause such Registration Statement (including by filing a new, replacement Registration Statement as required under the Securities Act) to remain effective under the Securities Act continuously until no Registrable Securities are outstanding.

Following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(b), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof (if such Registration Statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement).

(ii) No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 3(b) or 4(c), and any Demand Notice delivered in connection therewith shall not count as a Demand Notice for purposes of Section 3(f) or 4(c), if (A) the Registration Statement relating thereto (and covering not less than all Registrable Securities specified in the applicable Demand Notice for sale in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution specified in such Demand Notice) (1) does not become effective, or (2) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this Section 3; (B) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, injunction, or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period; or (C) the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement, purchase agreement, or similar agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied other than as a result of the Shareholders’ actions.

(iii) All requests made pursuant to this Section 3(b) must: (A) state that it is a notice to initiate a Demand Registration under this Agreement; (B) identify the Shareholders effecting the request; and (C) specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method(s) of disposition thereof.

(iv) Except as otherwise agreed by all Shareholders with Registrable Securities subject to a Demand Registration, the Company shall maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration until such securities cease to be Registrable Securities or such shorter period upon which all Shareholders with Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have notified the Company that such Registrable Securities have actually been sold, or, if such Demand Registration is for an Underwritten Offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters a Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer.

(v) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Company of a Demand Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Company shall deliver a written notice of any such Demand Notice to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(c), include in such Demand Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) days after the date that such notice has been delivered; provided that the Shareholders must agree to the plan of distribution proposed by the Shareholders who delivered the Demand Notice and, in connection with any Underwritten Registration, such holders (together with the Company) must enter into an underwriting agreement in the form reasonably approved by the Company and the Shareholders holding the majority of the Registrable Securities subject to such Underwritten Registration. All requests made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered. For the avoidance of doubt, an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration may be made pursuant to an effective shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof.

(c) Priority on Demand Registration. If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, and the managing underwriter(s) advise the holders of such securities in writing that in its good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering (including, without limitation, securities proposed to be included by other Shareholders of securities entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to piggyback registration rights pursuant to this Agreement) is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of such Underwritten Offering, then there shall be included in such Underwritten Offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting such Underwritten Offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro-rata among the Shareholders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such holders.

No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter’s marketing limitations shall be included in such offering.

(d) Postponement of Registration.

(i) The Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing (but not the preparation) or the initial effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a Registration Statement up to two times in any twelve (12) month period, in each case for a reasonable period of time that does not exceed, in the aggregate together with all other such postponements or suspensions, ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period, if the Company delivers to the Shareholders requesting registration or Shareholders named in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3(a) a certificate signed by an executive officer certifying that such registration and offering would (A) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (B) materially interfere with any bona fide material financing, acquisition, disposition or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries then under consideration. Such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The Shareholders receiving such certificate shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set forth in Section 6(r).

(ii) If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Notice, the Shareholders requesting such registration shall have the right to withdraw a request for registration pursuant to Section 3(b) by giving written notice to the Company within ten (10) days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as provided in the certificate delivered to the applicable Shareholders and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon such withdrawal, the withdrawn request shall not constitute a Demand Notice; provided that in the event such Shareholders do not so withdraw the request for registration, the Company shall continue to prepare a Registration Statement during such postponement such that, if it exercises its rights under this Section 3(d), it shall be in a position to and shall, as promptly as practicable following the expiration of the applicable deferral or suspension period, file or update and use its reasonable efforts to cause the effectiveness and the use of the applicable deferred or suspended Registration Statement.

(iii) In the event the Company exercises its rights to postpone the initial effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a Registration Statement, the Shareholders agree to suspend, promptly upon their receipt of the certificate referred to above, use of the Prospectus relating to the Demand Registration or Prospectus contained within the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3(a) in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

(e) Cancellation of a Demand Registration. Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are to be registered in a particular offering pursuant to this Section 3 shall have the right to notify the Company that they have determined that the applicable Registration Statement be abandoned or withdrawn by giving written notice of such abandonment or withdrawal at any time prior to the effective time of such Registration Statement, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement; provided that any Demand Notice underlying such abandonment or withdrawal shall not be deemed to be a Demand Notice for purposes of Section 3(f) if such Demand Notice is abandoned or withdrawn in response to a material adverse change regarding the Company or a material adverse change in the financial markets generally. If all Shareholders withdraw their Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration.

(f) Number of Demand Notices. In connection with the provisions of this Section 3, the Shareholders collectively shall have the right to deliver (i) five (5) Demand Notices in connection with Marketed Offerings; provided that in connection therewith, the Company shall cause its officers to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (including participation in “road shows”), and (ii) three (3) additional Demand Notices in connection with Underwritten Offerings (other than in connection with a Marketed Offering); provided that (A) in connection with any Demand Notice pursuant to clause (ii), the Company shall not be obligated to cause its officers to participate in any “road shows,” and (B) the Shareholders may not make more than four (4) Demand Registration requests in any 365-day period.

Section 4. Piggyback Registration; Shelf Take Down.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Except with respect to a Demand Registration, the procedures for which are addressed in Section 3, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Shares, whether or not for sale for its own account and whether or not an Underwritten Offering or an Underwritten Registration (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-4, Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any successor forms thereto or (ii) filed to effectuate an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement), then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such filing no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing date, or, fifteen (15) Business Days in the case of a Public Offering under a shelf registration statement, the anticipated pricing or trade date (the “Piggyback Notice”), to all of the holders of Registrable Securities. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such Registration Statement, or to sell in such Public Offering, the number of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request (each, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 4(b), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (each a “Piggyback Request”) within ten (10) Business Days after notice has been given to the applicable holder. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a Piggyback Registration beyond the earlier to occur of (x) one-hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the holders of the Registrable Securities (other than those making Piggyback Requests) included in such Registration Statement.

(b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If any of the Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to a Piggyback Registration are to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit holders of Registrable Securities who have timely submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as any other shares, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering advise the Company in writing that it is their good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities that such holders, the Company and any other Persons having rights to participate in such registration intend to include in such Underwritten Offering is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities in such Underwritten Offering, then there shall be included in such Underwritten Offering the number or dollar amount of securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without so adversely affecting such Underwritten Offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, all securities proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account; (ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Shareholders pursuant to Section 4, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such Shareholders; and (iii) third, all other securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by other holders of securities entitled to include such securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to piggyback registration rights; provided that any Shareholder may, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, withdraw its request to be included in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 4.

(c) Shelf-Take Downs. At any time that a shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 (or otherwise) is effective, if any Shareholder delivers a notice to the Company (each, a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the shelf Registration Statement (each, a “Shelf Offering”), then the Company shall amend or supplement the shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering. In connection with any Shelf Offering, including any Shelf Offering that is an Underwritten Offering (including a Marketed Offering) (i) the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of a Take-Down Notice (but in no event more than two (2) days thereafter (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested in connection with an underwritten “block trade”)), deliver a notice to each other holder of Registrable Securities included on such shelf Registration Statement and permit each such holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the shelf Registration Statement in the Shelf Offering if such holder notifies the Company in writing within three (3) days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested in connection with an underwritten “block trade”) after delivery of notice to such holder; and (ii) if the Shelf Offering is underwritten, in the event that the managing underwriter(s) of such Shelf Offering advise such holders in writing that it is their good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities proposed to be sold exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be included, then the managing underwriter(s) may limit the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be included in such Shelf Offering in the same manner as described in Section 3(c) with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in a registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any Shelf Offering that is an Underwritten Offering if a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration was declared effective or an Underwritten Offering was consummated within the preceding ninety (90) days (unless otherwise consented to by the Company).

Section 5. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities.

(a) If any registration pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 of this Agreement shall be in connection with any: (i) Marketed Offering (including with respect to a Shelf Offering pursuant to Section 3(a) or 4(c) hereof), the Company will cause each of its executive officers and directors to sign a customary “lock-up” agreement containing provisions consistent with those contemplated pursuant to Section 5(b); and (ii) Underwritten Offering (including with respect to a Shelf Offering pursuant to Section 3(a) or 4(c) hereof), the Company will also not effect any public sale or distribution of any common equity (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common equity) (other than a registration statement (A) on Form S-4, Form F-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (B) filed to effectuate an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement) for its own account, within ninety (90) days after the date of the Prospectus (or Prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a shelf Registration Statement) for such offering except as may otherwise be agreed with the holders of the Registrable Securities in such offering.

(b) Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees with all other holders of Registrable Securities and the Company in connection with any Underwritten Offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable, that if requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, it will not (i) subject to customary exceptions, effect any public sale or distribution, of any of the Company’s securities held by such Shareholder (except as part of such Underwritten Offering) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another Person any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities during the period commencing on the date of the Prospectus pursuant to which such Underwritten Offering may be made and continuing for not more than ninety (90) days after the date of such Prospectus (or Prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a shelf Registration Statement). In connection with any Underwritten Offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4, the Company, or, if Shareholders will be selling more Registrable Securities in the offering than the Company, Shareholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities subject to such Registration Statement shall be responsible for negotiating all “lock-up” agreements with the underwriters and, in addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Shareholders agree to execute the form so negotiated; provided that the form so negotiated is reasonably acceptable to the Company or the Shareholders, as applicable, and consistent with the agreement set forth in this Section 5 and that the Company’s executive officers and directors shall also have executed a form of agreement substantially similar to the agreement so negotiated, subject to customary exceptions applicable to natural persons in the roles of executive officers and directors.

Section 6. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 3 or Section 4, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration and to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof as promptly as practicable, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the sale of the securities and shall use its reasonable best efforts, as promptly as practicable to the extent applicable, to:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form as shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof or by the Company in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof and in accordance with this Agreement, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including such documents that, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) with respect to a Demand Registration to which the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object, in writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such filing is necessary to comply with applicable law;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement; and cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act in each case, until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;

In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the Company waives compliance with this provision, the Offering Persons will furnish only that portion of such information that the Offering Persons are advised by legal counsel is legally required and will exercise their reasonable best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information;

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by such holder and regardless of any indemnity agreed to in the underwriting agreement that is less favorable to the holders. The Company shall also indemnify the underwriters participating in the distribution of Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder of Registrable Securities shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, its officers, directors and managing members and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all Losses arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document, or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and to reimburse the Company or such officers, directors, managing members and control persons for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or any other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or action, subject to the immediately following proviso, settling any such Loss or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities or its authorized representatives expressly for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In no event shall the liability of any holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds from the sale of its Registrable Securities in the offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses, less any amounts paid by such holder pursuant to Section 8(d) and any amounts paid by such holder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a selling holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total net proceeds received by such holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation and sold by such holder, less any amounts paid by such holder pursuant to Section 8(b) and any amounts paid by such holder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale exceeds the amount of any damages that such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the applicable action, statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities to contribute pursuant to this Section are several and not joint.

(e) Indemnification Priority. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that any of the Persons entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a) (each, a “Company Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other sources. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to a Company Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of such other sources to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Company Indemnitee are secondary) and (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by a Company Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement without regard to any rights a Company Indemnitee may have against such other sources. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by such other sources on behalf of a Company Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Company Indemnitee has sought indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance from the Company shall affect the foregoing, and that such other sources shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Company Indemnitee against the Company.

Section 9. Rule 144. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to: (i) file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner, to the extent required from time to time to enable all holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Shareholder, make electronically available (which may include posting to a non-public, password-protected website maintained by the Company or a third party) to any holder, any bona fide prospective holder, any bona fide market maker (or person who intends to be a market maker) or securities analyst such necessary information for so long as necessary to enable all holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S); and (ii) so long as any Registrable Securities are issued and outstanding, furnish holders thereof upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act and (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company (except to the extent the same is available on XXXXX).

The holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to the underwriting agreement between the Company and such underwriters and shall complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney and other documents reasonably requested by the underwriters and required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Any such Shareholder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Shareholder, such Shareholder’s title to the Registrable Securities, such Shareholder’s intended method of distribution and any other representations to be made by the Shareholder as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Shareholder shall not exceed such Shareholder’s proceeds from the sale of its Registrable Securities in the offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses.

It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, that certain Shareholders Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Investors (the “Shareholders Agreement”), the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Rights Agreement Amendment and the Promissory Notes are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement, and are intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein, with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to Registrable Securities. This Agreement, together with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Promissory Note, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not supersede the transfer restrictions in the Shareholders Agreement.

(i) Securities Held by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Whenever the consent or approval of holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the holders of such required percentage.

(j) Specific Performance; Further Assurances. The parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to compensate the holders of any Registrable Securities for breaches by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach. The parties hereto agree that in the event the registrations and sales of Registrable Securities are effected pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States, such parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to give effect as closely as possible to the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement, taking into account customary practices of such foreign jurisdiction, including executing such documents and taking such further actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to carry out the foregoing.

(k) Term; Other Agreements. This Agreement shall terminate (i) with respect to a Shareholder on the date on which such Shareholder ceases to hold Registrable Securities, (ii) with respect to the Company, the date on which all equity securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities and (iii) upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; provided that such Shareholder’s rights and obligations pursuant to Section 8, as well as the Company’s obligations to pay expenses pursuant to Section 7, shall survive with respect to any Registration Statement in which any Registrable Securities of such Shareholders were included.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Registration Rights Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
